Mystery: Chaos Path

#24 - The Fool's Apprenticeship

Luo Lin wasn't surprised to hear Klein's words. He simply revealed a look of surprise at the appropriate time and said, "As expected, so you're also a Seer?"

Klein was already somewhat accustomed to Luo Lin's bluntness and shocking remarks. At this moment, hearing the other party point out his identity, he didn't feel too surprised. He simply nodded and said, "I am indeed a Seer."

After 'confessing' his connection with The Fool, there was no need to hide this part of the information.

However... Klein looked at Luo Lin suspiciously and tentatively asked, "Also?"

He hadn't ignored Luo Lin's choice of words.

"That's right, I'm also a Seer," Luo Lin readily revealed.

The corner of Klein's mouth twitched slightly. He sized up Luo Lin and tentatively asked, "Why did you choose to become a Seer?"

"...My family is considered a relatively ancient family of Beyonders. Although it has declined, the younger generation in the family can still choose between Thief, Seer, and Apprentice. I prefer the Seer," Luo Lin said without batting an eye.

No wonder you were able to find so much information... Klein suddenly understood. At the same time, he said with a strange expression, "...Is it okay to tell me these things?"

"It's okay, because you're a good person!" Luo Lin waved his hand and said with a smile, "Besides, I've divined it. You won't sell me out."

Hearing this, Klein suddenly thought of the divination he had performed before leaving, and his mood became somewhat subtle.

Luo Lin, who was deliberately teasing him, became serious after laughing and said, "Actually, I have some doubts about those dukes related to the Blood Emperor in the Fourth Epoch. There seems to be something wrong with them."

"What do you mean?" Klein asked, startled and puzzled.

"I have a friend in Backlund who is probably related to the Abraham family. As far as I know, she suffers from a full moon curse, and not only her, but the entire Abraham family seems to have this problem."

Luo Lin explained, "As for the last Duke Amon... He's definitely not a good person." At this point, Luo Lin appropriately revealed a look of fear.

"Do you have a grudge against that Amon?" Klein asked tentatively.

"It's not that I have a grudge against him, it's that Amon himself has a problem. Anyway, if you encounter any dog thing that resembles Amon in the future, remember to run immediately. He especially likes to eat Beyonders of the Seer, Thief, and Apprentice pathways as snacks," Luo Lin said, his expression becoming much more serious.

"By the way, Amon's characteristic is that he wears a monocle. If you encounter someone wearing a monocle, just run."

"I've remembered it. Thank you for your reminder, Jack." Klein quickly wrote down what Luo Lin said. Although he didn't know if what the other party said was true, his vigilance towards Amon had increased a lot in his heart.

However, some doubts couldn't help but arise in Klein's heart. He looked at Luo Lin and couldn't help but ask, "What pathway does Amon belong to? Why does he want to eat Beyonders of the Seer, Apprentice, and Thief pathways?"

"Amon is a Thief," Luo Lin explained, then blinked and looked at Klein, saying, "As for why he wants to eat Beyonders of the Seer, Apprentice, and Thief pathways, probably because these three pathways are adjacent pathways... Uh, do you know what adjacent pathways are?"

Klein honestly shook his head.

At this stage, Klein really didn't know about this kind of knowledge, and didn't even know about the existence of Extraordinary Characteristics. He was a real newbie Beyonder.

"You don't know? Well, but I can't just teach this part of the knowledge to people..." Luo Lin showed a hesitant expression. He looked at Klein and seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, finally revealing his true intention:

"How about this, you call me 'teacher'. If we have a teacher-student relationship, it's okay for me to teach you this part of the knowledge, otherwise it's not in accordance with the rules."

"Ah, by the way, if you buy it from me with money..." Luo Lin seemed to have thought of another method, but before he could finish speaking, he heard Klein shout:

"Teacher!"

The speed was so fast that he was obviously afraid that Luo Lin would change his mind and demand money before teaching him the knowledge.

As expected of you, Poor Hermit!

Luo Lin slandered in his heart, but he was not surprised at all by Klein's reaction. Instead, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then you will be my student from now on. Alas, I never thought I would be able to be someone else's teacher."

"Is there a possibility that you were already a teacher?" Klein reminded Luo Lin of his job, which was also the reason why he called him 'teacher' so readily.

Luo Lin was originally a university teacher. Although he was only a few years older than him, the job was there. Klein had no psychological barriers to calling the other party 'teacher'.

"It's not the same. How can a teacher in the mystical realm be the same as a teacher in a normal realm?" Luo Lin retorted, then said with a smile, "Since you call me 'teacher', then I won't let you call me for nothing. To explain adjacent pathways, first you have to understand a concept, that is, Extraordinary Characteristics..."

Luo Lin then told Klein about the existence of Extraordinary Characteristics, as well as the three major laws of Extraordinary Characteristics, namely the Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics, the Law of Non-Extinction of Extraordinary Characteristics, and the Law of Aggregation of Extraordinary Characteristics, and also explained what adjacent pathways are in the process.

"So the Seer, Thief, and Apprentice pathways are adjacent pathways that can be exchanged. Amon is probably also the reason why he's preying on Beyonders of these three pathways," Luo Lin finally concluded.

While Klein felt that he had gained knowledge, he had a new guess about his current situation - perhaps the reason why he had such a connection with The Fool was not because there was a mastermind behind the scenes, but because of the Gray Fog?

Klein vaguely guessed in his heart that the mysterious Gray Fog might be something of a high sequence of The Fool pathway, or even something related to the gods.

Luo Lin naturally took in all the changes in Klein's expression. Seeing that he was obviously much more relaxed, Luo Lin also breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been teasing him too much before, and had put too much pressure on Mr. Fool all at once. Luo Lin was naturally afraid of accidentally overwhelming him, so he used the reason of being a teacher and student to provide some other possibilities to ease Klein.

Of course, Luo Lin did not deny that he really wanted to be Mr. Fool's teacher. This could both satisfy his mischievous taste and bring the two closer together, which was a win-win situation.

After Klein figured out the coincidences around him, he thought of something else and asked curiously, "So, the more Extraordinary Characteristics you eat, the stronger you become?"

"Theoretically, that's the case, but in fact, the cost-effectiveness is not very high. Instead of drinking two more bottles of potions of the same sequence, it's better to advance earlier," Luo Lin shook his head and explained, "If too many characteristics of the same sequence accumulate, it will slow down the digestion progress. Oh, by the way, do you know about the Acting Method?"
