Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 90 Arrangements before leaving
Although he was confused, after carefully listening to Rowling's request, Dunn considered it and said:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Lucifer, I can't make a decision on this matter, but I will report it to headquarters. If headquarters allows, I will grant Klein three years of leave."

Normally, Dunn would have rejected such an outrageous request as taking three years off without even considering it, but since it involved an angel, it was obviously not something Dunn could decide.

Compared to the outrageous request of taking three years off, Dunn was actually more concerned about what happened to Klein. Why did a good person suddenly have to take three years off?

Dunn looked at Klein with a hint of worry.

"I'm fine, Captain. I'm taking leave for personal reasons..." Klein could clearly see Dunn's concern for him and said quickly.

"Anyway, I'm glad you're okay." Seeing that Klein didn't want to elaborate, Dunn didn't say much. He simply said gently, "But since you're planning to take leave, do you want to convert your merits from this incident into cash, or continue accumulating them and claim them after your leave is over?"

Although the leave request had not yet been concluded, Dunn knew that since an angel had spoken, the leave request was probably a done deal.

Regardless of whether Klein continues to serve as a Night Watcher in the future, his previous achievements are real and will not disappear regardless of whether he continues to serve or not.

"Captain, I'd like to ask, are my merits sufficient for me to advance to Sequence 7?" Klein asked after thinking for a few seconds.

After obtaining the magician's potion formula and securing Jack's consent, Klein reported it to the Nighthawk, so he could directly apply for advancement to Sequence 7 from the Nighthawk.

Klein had no guilt about this; after all, these achievements were earned through his own abilities.

"Your merits are indeed enough to exchange for a Sequence 7 potion, and there's even a considerable surplus..." Dunn nodded subconsciously, then realized something incredulously and looked at Klein, saying, "Have you digested the Clown Potion?"

"Well, something happened. My clown potion has indeed been completely digested." Klein did not hide it. In the past, he had to appropriately conceal his uniqueness in front of the Nighthawks, but now there is no need to do so. After all, his immediate superior, the Goddess of Night, is watching him!

What he said was also true. After learning his fate, Klein had completely digested the Joker Potion.

"How is this possible? Wasn't Klein promoted to Joker just half a month ago?" Leonard, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but speak up at this moment. He was truly surprised. After all, even if he knew the acting method, a Sequence 8 potion would theoretically take at least several months to digest.

Dunn was also very surprised. He looked at Klein, then sighed and said, "It seems that a lot has happened to you recently. So, are you planning to apply for advancement to Sequence 7?"

Klein didn't explain further, simply nodded and said, "Yes, Captain. I would like to apply for promotion to Sequence 7 Magician. Also, could you please help me convert the remaining merits into cash?"

Klein had thought it through during this time. Although he was reluctant, since he had not chosen to escape his fate and instead chose to continue his advancement, his future life would inevitably be turbulent. So, Klein had made a decision - in order not to implicate Benson and Melissa, he decided to leave Tingen and seek a path to advancement.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Klein will no longer contact his brother and sister. He will still write to them and may come back to visit during the holidays, but he will try his best to avoid letting the events of the extraordinary world affect his brother and sister.

Before leaving, Klein had to make plans for his brothers and sisters, such as leaving them enough money to live on.

……

Melissa is making a puppet out of mechanical parts.

But unlike her usual intense concentration, Melissa was clearly distracted today. There was no other reason, but mainly because she missed Klein.

Seven days ago, Klein's colleague, a very handsome man who called himself Leonard, came to visit their home and told them that Klein had been temporarily spotted by a senior executive at their security company's headquarters and was taken on a business trip, so he would not be back for a while.

To be honest, business trips were not an unfamiliar concept to Melissa. In order to raise them, Benson, the eldest brother, had been on business trips almost all year round. But this was somewhat rare for Klein. Thinking of Klein's personality, Melissa was somewhat worried.

Can Klein really take care of himself out there alone?

Melissa didn't know, and to be honest, she was a little confused. After all, the three siblings had agreed to go see the play "The Return of the Count" together long ago. In this case, why would Klein suddenly go on a business trip alone?

But if it wasn’t a business trip… Melissa shook her head violently, unwilling to think of other possibilities.

Just then, Melissa heard a knock on the door.

This made Melissa stunned for a moment, and she suddenly had a premonition in her heart. She ran to the door in two steps at a time, and when she opened the door, she saw a familiar figure as expected.

"Klein, you're back!"

"Well, I'm sorry, Melissa, for making you worry." Klein looked at his sister in front of him, thinking of his "disappearance" in the past few days and the inevitable separation in the future, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Although he was not the original Klein, because he had integrated some of the original owner's memories and emotions, after spending some time together, he had already regarded Melissa as a real sister.

But precisely because of this, Klein couldn't let his fate affect them.

……

"So you're planning to say goodbye to your family and friends and head to Backlund alone?"

Jack's residence had changed into a new vest. Luo Lin took a sip of coffee and looked at Klein in front of him. He said:

"Is this really your own decision? Did my teacher force you to do it? If you told me, I would definitely help you scold him."

"This is my own decision." Klein was touched and at a loss for words. He didn't confess everything to Jack because Lucifer didn't seem to want Jack to know the complicated truth about the time travel and the doomsday conspiracy.

Klein was also a little worried that Jack couldn't bear the truth, so he simply said that he had met with Lucifer and discussed some things, and now decided to go to Backlund to seek opportunities for promotion.

As for why he didn't ask Lucifer for help - Klein also had to save face. He was very grateful that the time traveler could tell him the truth about everything and give him a chance to choose. How could he take it for granted to ask for more from the other party?

And to be honest, Klein didn't think Lucifer would support him in this regard.
