Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 28 Ah, he finally made trouble

"No, Klein doesn't know about me. I only have some guesses about Klein's situation. Now it seems that he has indeed become a Beyonder." Azik shook his head and looked at Rowling as if he was looking at his own silly roe deer, feeling a bit helpless and a bit tolerant.

Luo Lin seemed to realize that he had accidentally exposed his friend's secrets, which made him hesitate for a long time before he said, "Mr. Azik, can I tell Klein about you?"

"Why?" Azik didn't get angry at the presumptuous request, but asked with a gentle look.

"Because I exposed Klein's secret. Although I know that you, Mr. Azik, are a good person and will definitely not do anything to Klein, I must make amends for this matter..." Luo Lin showed a serious expression and said, "If you both knew each other's secrets, we could achieve a balance. Of course, I will compensate you..."

Azik probably understood Luo Lin's logic. After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded and said, "No need for compensation. You can tell him about me and arrange a meeting with him. I also have something I want to discuss with him in person."

Azik did have something he wanted to discuss with Klein. He wanted to ask Klein to help investigate his past. In the circle Azik was currently in contact with, Klein was one of only two Beyonders, and it was very likely that he had even joined the official ranks.

As for why he didn't entrust Rowling, the reason was simple - Rowling's personality was too simple, and unlike Klein, he was not an official Beyonder. Azik was very worried that if he entrusted him to investigate, he would turn around and find that he had been investigated into an official Beyonder prison.

Azik did not have this concern about Klein, not only because of his official identity, but also because his personality was far more reliable than Rowling's.

Luo Lin could naturally guess what Azik was thinking. This was actually the result of Luo Lin's deliberate guidance - he had no intention of breaking up Azik and Klein, the father and son... No, teacher and student. After all, letting them serve as each other's anchors was more beneficial to Luo Lin. If the two of them lacked an anchor and both had too high divinity, that would give Luo Lin a headache.

Luo Lin is very self-aware. He may be able to increase the favorability between the two through various means, but he is destined to not be the anchor point.

So from the very beginning, Rowling was not here to destroy this family, but to join this family.

But no matter what he was thinking, Rowling didn't show it at all. He just smiled with a surprised expression and said, "Then I'll write a letter to Klein right away..."

……

Dear Student Klein:
Please forgive me for making a mistake..."

Klein slowly read the letter from Rowling, and for a moment he felt a slight headache.

Originally, after seeing Zoroaster's diary at the Tarot Club the day before yesterday, Klein planned to take some time to meet with Rowling and inquire about his relationship with the Zoroaster family.

However, Klein has been very busy these past two days. During the day, he learned a lot about Beyonders from Old Neil, learned the names and characteristics of many mid- and low-sequence beings, and learned about the existence of many secret organizations. In the evening, he followed Old Neil to the black market under Tingen and gained a lot of knowledge. He really didn't have time to look for Rowling.

At the end of a busy day, Klein found this letter in his mailbox. It detailed how Rowling had confessed his Beyonder identity to Azik and how he had accidentally exposed Klein's Beyonder identity. Rowling also offered a heartfelt apology and expressed Azik's desire to meet him.

Honestly, Klein wasn't too angry about Rowling revealing his Beyonder identity. As an official Beyonder, he wasn't as afraid of being exposed as a wild Beyonder. Instead, Klein felt a subtle sense of, "Ah, he finally got out of this mess."

"I really should get Jack the identity of an informant as soon as possible, otherwise I might meet him behind Chanis Gate one day..." Klein rubbed his temple, shook his head helplessly, and then thought about another thing.

"Mr. Azik is actually a Beyonder too. I don't know how he got there. Jack didn't mention it in his letter, so I guess he didn't ask..."

Klein recalled Azik's situation. Based on his memory alone, he couldn't guess his methods, but judging from the original owner's memories and the feeling he had when he last interacted with him, he probably wasn't a bad person.

However, Klein did not make such a hasty decision. He simply returned to the Gray Mist with great caution and performed a divination to determine whether this meeting with Azik would be dangerous. The divination results showed that there was no danger.

"As expected, I should go meet him. I don't know why Mr. Azik wants me to do this." Klein then recalled his schedule for the next few days. Although there were no particularly important things at the moment, it was still packed. Moreover, he was not sure when he would have to participate in the operation to find the Antigonus family notes, so it was not easy to ask for leave.

"So busy!" Klein couldn't help but mutter. Although he was also a social animal before crossing over, his busier level after crossing over was several times higher than before, and every day was extremely exciting.

"If it really doesn't work, let's wait until my next day off..." Klein thought for a moment and wrote a reply to Rowling. In the letter, he first comforted Rowling, saying that he was not angry about Rowling's mistake. He then said that he agreed to meet with Mr. Azik, but he had been very busy recently and might not be able to spare the time, so their meeting might have to wait until his next day off.

Of course, Klein also wrote in the letter that if he could find time before the day off, he would go directly to them.

……

"It seems that the next time I see Klein, he might be an official Nighthawk..." Rowling put down Klein's reply letter. He was not surprised by this result. After all, Mr. Fool's life after traveling through time was indeed very busy.

Rollin simply turned and picked up another letter from Backlund, which was a reply from Hugh.

The other party said that he had read the letter that Rowling had sent last time and felt that what he said made sense. As far as they knew, there was a nobleman who had been inquiring about Feifan for a long time and did not seem to be a bad person, so Xio and Fors planned to contact him.

"As expected, even a lazy person can quickly stand up when faced with matters concerning their own safety." Luo Lin smiled and began writing replies to both parties. After finishing the letters, he stretched and thought about his next plan:
"When Azik meets Klein, he will definitely ask Klein to help him find clues to his past memories. Then, I can make Vest No. 3 appear in their sight."
