"That's right, I've always been very interested in the history of the Fourth Epoch, so I really want to learn about the Antigonus family. If you know more information, Jack, would you be able to tell me?"

Klein said earnestly. He indeed really wanted to learn about the Antigonus family, and at the same time, Klein didn't deny that he also wanted to take this opportunity to observe this person who was suspected to be a fellow traveler.

"Sure, it's not a big deal," Luo Lin nodded generously. He then added, "But I don't know too much, you might be disappointed."

Professor Quentin and Mr. Azzik, who were beside them, were clearly also quite interested in the topic. However, Professor Quentin then took out a pocket watch, glanced at it, and frowned, "The meeting is about to start. Jack, you'll probably have to chat with Klein another time."

"Ah, it seems so." Luo Lin also took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, then showed a regretful expression. He then seemed to remember something and took out a business card from his pocket, handing it to Klein. He said, "How about this, you can come find me at this address later. I don't have classes tomorrow afternoon, or you can just come find me at the school. If you don't have time to come over, you can also write to me. By the way, what's your address? I can write to you directly too."

Klein took the business card. Although he felt it was a pity, he didn't want to disturb their important matters. Hearing Luo Lin's words, he quickly reported his address and added, "But I might be moving soon, and I haven't decided where I'll be moving yet."

"No problem, just let me know your new address after you move," Luo Lin said casually, waving his hand.

Then, Luo Lin entered the conference hall with Azzik and the two of them.

Klein watched the backs of the three disappear behind the door, then looked down at the business card in his hand, his expression finally becoming a little complex.

He hadn't expected that just coming to sort out the interview would yield such a result. Not only did he meet someone suspected to be a fellow traveler, but that person also seemed to know about the Antigonus family.

"Good luck," this made Klein's mood much better. He then bid farewell to the others in the office and left the three-story building, planning to go home first and then visit Jack Jones in the evening.

However, as he was walking, before he even left Tingen University, Klein's hair stood on end.

Someone was following him!

While Klein was engaging in a battle of wits with his pursuer, Luo Lin, who had already entered the conference room, was talking quietly with Azzik.

"Mr. Azzik is also very curious about the Antigonus family?" Luo Lin asked in a low voice. Just now, Azzik had proactively brought up topics related to it.

"I just find the name somewhat familiar," Azzik said, his expression a little lost.

Luo Lin was not surprised by this. Others might not know who Azzik was, but how could he not?

Azzik, the Death Consul, formerly the ruler of the Bayron Empire, Hades, the son of the God of Death, Sequence 2 Death Consul, currently suffering from amnesia, and also the resurrection vessel of the God of Death. He had a gentle personality, was inherently kind, and was the most important elder to Mr. The Fool in the future, without exception.

Undoubtedly, a large part of the reason why Luo Lin's false identity was designed as a teacher at Tingen University was to get close to Azzik.

"Since Mr. Azzik is also interested in the Antigonus family, why don't you come to my place tomorrow afternoon? If Klein also comes, I can tell you both about the Antigonus family then," Luo Lin suggested with a smile.

"Thank you, sorry to trouble you," Azzik said softly.

"You're welcome, it's just a small thing anyway. Besides, in terms of knowledge, I can't compare to you, Mr. Azzik. Perhaps I'll have questions for you later!" Luo Lin said with a smile. His words were sincere.

Luo Lin's approach to Azzik, besides wanting to build rapport and see if he could pull in the Shadow of Time, was also genuinely to tap into Azzik's occult knowledge.

After all, although the original work was not lacking in various secret knowledge, it did not involve much formal occult knowledge, and was basically just mentioned in passing. Yet, in this world, knowledge truly equated to power. If you didn't understand or know many occult field knowledge and taboos, you would easily step into pitfalls or even kill yourself.

Although Luo Lin's memory of "Luo Lin Soroyastor" was not lacking in basic occult knowledge, apart from some knowledge related to the three major families of survival, he lacked other high-level extraordinary knowledge. Therefore, Luo Lin naturally had to find various big shots to catch up and make up for this deficiency.

"If there's anything you want to know, feel free to ask me. I'll tell you anything I know," Azzik said with a gentle smile, completely unaware of Luo Lin's ulterior motives.

Amidst their harmonious atmosphere, the academic conference finally began. The two stopped talking and attended the meeting attentively. By the time the meeting ended, it was almost lunchtime.

Luo Lin then had lunch with Azzik and Professor Quentin at the Tingen University canteen. Afterward, he dutifully spent the day as a new teacher and welcomed his guests the next afternoon.

"Good afternoon, Klein. You seem to be in a good mood today?" Luo Lin, who had already prepared, opened the door and saw Klein standing at the entrance. He also noticed another person standing beside Klein, who was Azzik. He immediately smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Azzik. Are you here with Klein?"

"Good afternoon, Jack," Klein replied with a smile. "I moved to my new home today, so I'm indeed in a good mood."

"Good afternoon, Jack. I happened to meet Klein on the way, so we came together," Azzik said with a gentle smile.

"Congratulations, Klein. Where is your new home? I'll come visit you later," Luo Lin said while chatting with the two, ushering them inside. At the same time, he noticed that Klein and Azzik's relationship was clearly better than when they met yesterday, indicating they had a pleasant chat on the way.

Luo Lin was not surprised by this. Klein and Azzik's worldviews were already very compatible, and they also had a teacher-student relationship, so it was normal for them to get along well.

Luo Lin simply invited the two to sit down, then skillfully fetched the tea set, brewed some coffee, and poured a cup for each of them. He then smiled somewhat apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I just moved to Tingen, so I only have coffee prepared. I don't know if you two will get used to it."

"It's okay, it's okay. I really like drinking coffee," Klein said quickly. This was also the truth; compared to black tea, Klein did prefer coffee.

"It's very good coffee, I like it very much," Azzik also said with a gentle smile.

"I'm glad you like it," Luo Lin smiled too. He then poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and said, "Regarding the Antigonus family, to be honest, I don't know them particularly well. I can only tell you roughly what I know. As far as I know, the Antigonus family lives on the main peak of the Mount Horamachis. They even established a country called the Night Country..."
