Mystery: Chaos Path

"Mr. Fool is a deity who advocates equivalent exchange. I can't offer Him the price to help me," Klein politely refused, even sighing dramatically as he said this.

This wasn't even a complete act, after all, Klein was genuinely worried—if he could, he also hoped that the so-called Mr. Fool really existed, that the other party was fair and kind, and that he could openly ask the other party for help as a believer, even if it took a long time to pay the price.

Unfortunately, The Fool was just his persona.

"That's true!" Roland also showed a worried expression, but quickly perked up, patted Klein on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter, Klein, we can still seek my teacher's help, he might know something."

"Hopefully," Klein said noncommittally.

Roland became worried again and said, "But... how should I explain the matter of The Fool to my teacher now? Mr. Fool said that I can't tell my teacher about His existence, or the Tarot Club..."

"Then don't say anything, pretend you don't know anything. If your teacher asks you, say you don't know anything," Klein sincerely suggested. As the saying goes, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. He didn't think that Jack's lies could deceive others, so he might as well just insist that he didn't know.

"That makes sense! Then I'll just say I don't know when the time comes." Roland nodded in agreement. He seemed to have finally put down a worry, stretched his back, and looked at Klein with some curiosity, and asked: "Klein, why are you working so late today? Did something happen?"

Upon hearing this, Klein didn't hide anything, and recounted the abnormal death in the lower street and the encounter with the witch Triss, and then asked, "Do you know anything about this pathway?"

"I know this pathway. Sequence 7 is called Witch, which turns men into women. It's very坑爹," Roland said without hesitation, "I also know the subsequent pathway. Sequence 6 of the Witch pathway is called Joyful Witch, which is a sequence that cannot pass censorship."

"Ah?" Klein was a little puzzled and curious.

Roland looked around guiltily, then whispered to Klein about the Joyful Witch.

As everyone knows, joy is a broad term, but in the name of Joyful Witch, joy basically refers to the joy between men and women, although there are occasional exceptions, such as those afflicted with disease.

This adult topic naturally shocked Klein.

"Moreover, witches are generally very difficult to deal with, especially when they reach the level of Sequence 6, they are already considered half of the high-level reserve of the witch family. Witches at this level may have something unusual, something related to divinity and the Primordial Witch."

Roland introduced, naturally deliberately reminding Klein, after all, in the near future, a Nighthawk would die because of the Joyful Witch. Although his reminder might not change anything, it was just a convenient thing to do, so why not?

"So Klein, if you want to deal with a Joyful Witch, you must be careful."

"I'll keep it in mind, thank you, Teacher Jack." Although Klein didn't think he could face a Sequence 6 Joyful Witch in a short time, he still wrote down this knowledge for future use.

"By the way, I also know a little gossip about witches." Roland made a gesture to Klein to come closer and whispered:

"I overheard... cough, heard my teacher mention when chatting with others that the Primordial Witch was once a man. That's why the Primordial Witch wants all the witches in the world to taste His pain, so if a woman steps into the Witch pathway, it is easier to lose control."

"Cough..." This little gossip was too explosive, and Klein gasped when he heard it, but he didn't expect that there was even more explosive news to come.

"Moreover..." Roland lowered his voice even more, as if he was very worried about being heard by others, "Moreover, it is said that the Primordial Witch and the Blood Emperor had an affair, and they even had children."

"Ah?" Klein really didn't expect to eat such shocking melon. For a moment, he only felt that the surrounding air had turned cold. He looked out the window with some guilt, wondering if there would be any thunderbolts, but he couldn't help but be curious and asked, "But... didn't the Witch Sect seem to support the Tudor Empire during the Fourth Epoch?"

"Maybe they broke up?" Roland pinched his chin and analyzed seriously: "After all, the Primordial Witch looks psychologically twisted, and the Blood Emperor Tudor, I remember my teacher once called Him the Mad Emperor. It's normal for two psychologically abnormal guys to fall out..."

Mad Emperor?

This was another piece of knowledge that Klein hadn't come into contact with yet, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What Mad Emperor?"

"Actually, I don't know much either, after all, my teacher doesn't let me come into contact with too high-level knowledge. I overheard... cough, I occasionally heard my teacher mention it when chatting with others." Roland coughed lightly, maintaining Jack's persona, and with an expression of sharing a little secret, he said:

"My teacher once said when chatting with others that the Blood Emperor seemed to have jumped from the Black Emperor pathway to the Hunter pathway, so he went half-mad."

"Hiss..." Klein couldn't help but gasp. He knew very well the consequences of jumping to a non-adjacent pathway, which was half-mad, so he was very shocked by Tudor's choice, but he couldn't help but feel some curiosity.

What kind of reason would make an emperor rather go half-mad than jump to a non-adjacent pathway?

Moreover, if the Blood Emperor was on the Hunter pathway, it would be even stranger for Him to have children with the Primordial Witch. Klein had already learned from Roland that the Hunter and Witch pathways were adjacent pathways.

Normally speaking, Beyonders on adjacent pathways, even if they are not hostile to each other, are unlikely to be as close as family. The most obvious example is the mutual hostility between the Seven Gods churches, which basically occurs between adjacent pathways.

Klein was very puzzled.

But unfortunately, Roland said that he didn't know the answer either, after all, some knowledge was beyond the scope and not suitable to tell Klein now.

"High-sequence matters are really very complicated..." Klein suppressed the doubts in his heart. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel guilty that his curiosity was satisfied. After all, as a low-sequence, discussing gossip directly related to angels and true gods was still too exciting.

—At this moment, Klein didn't have the awareness that the Four Emperors War was a war between four Sequence 0s, and simply regarded the Blood Emperor as an existence at the angel level.

Roland also seemed to realize his guilt belatedly. He touched his nose, and soon seemed to throw this guilt to the back of his mind. After chatting with Klein for a while, he chose to say goodbye.

After leaving Klein's house, Roland did not choose to go home, but went to the safe house to change his appearance, and then used his traveling ability to come to Leonard's residence.
