"It's like this: I've always been very interested in the history of the Fourth Epoch, so I really want to learn about the Antigonus Family. Jack, if you know any more information, could you tell me?"

Klein spoke earnestly. He truly wanted to learn about the Antigonus Family, and he did not deny that he also wanted to take this opportunity to observe this person who might be a fellow transmigrator.

"Sure, it's no big deal." Luo Lin nodded generously, then added, "But I don't actually know that much. You might be disappointed."

Professor Quentin and Mr. Azik beside them were clearly quite interested in the topic as well. However, Professor Quentin then took out a pocket watch and glanced at it before saying with a frown, "The meeting is about to begin. Jack, I'm afraid you'll have to talk to Klein next time."

"Ah, looks like it." Luo Lin also took out his pocket watch and checked it, then revealed a regretful expression. Remembering something, he pulled a business card from his pocket and handed it to Klein, saying:

"How about this? You can come find me at this address later. I don't have class tomorrow afternoon, or you can simply come find me at the university. If you don't have time to come over, you can write me a letter instead. Oh, what's your address? I can write to you directly too."

Klein accepted the business card. Though he also found it regrettable, he could not disrupt someone else's important business. Hearing Luo Lin's words, he quickly gave his address and added, "But I may be moving soon. I'm not sure where I'll move to yet."

"That's fine. Just tell me your new address after you move." Luo Lin waved his hand and replied casually.

Luo Lin then entered the conference hall together with Azzik and Professor Quentin.

Klein watched the three men's backs disappear beyond the door, then lowered his head to look at the business card in his hand. His expression finally became somewhat complicated.

He had never expected that merely coming here to settle the interview matter would bring such gains. Not only had he met someone who might be a fellow transmigrator, but that person also seemed to know about the Antigonus Family.

"Not bad luck." This put Klein in a better mood. He then said goodbye to the others in the office and left the three-story building, intending to go home first and visit Jack Jones that evening.

But as he walked, before he had even left Tingen University, Klein's hairs stood on end.

Someone was following him!

While Klein was engaged in a battle of wits with his stalker, Luo Lin, who had already entered the conference room, was speaking quietly with Azzik.

"Mr. Azzik, are you also curious about the Antigonus Family?" Luo Lin asked in a lowered voice. Just moments ago, Azzik had taken the initiative to bring up this subject.

"I just feel that this name sounds somewhat familiar." Azzik's expression was rather confused as he said this.

Luo Lin was not surprised in the slightest. Others might not know who Azzik was, but how could he not?

Azzik, aka the Death Consul, was once the Nether Monarch, ruler of the Bayron Empire. He was the offspring of the God of Death, a Sequence 2 Death Consul. He was currently suffering from amnesia and was also the resurrection vessel of the God of Death. Gentle by nature and innately kind, he would become Mr. Fool's most important elder in the future, without question.

Without a doubt, a large part of the reason Luo Lin's false identity had been designed as a teacher at Tingen University was to get close to Azzik.

"Since Mr. Azzik is also interested in the Antigonus Family, why not come visit my home tomorrow afternoon? If Klein comes too, I can tell both of you about the Antigonus Family together." Luo Lin proposed with a smile.

"Thank you. Sorry to trouble you," Azzik thanked him quietly.

"No need to thank me. It's only a small matter, and when it comes to being knowledgeable, I'm far inferior to you, Mr. Azzik. Perhaps I'll have questions I want to ask you in the future!" Luo Lin said with a grin, and he meant it sincerely.

Besides wanting to build goodwill and see whether he could draw the Shadow of Time, Luo Lin had indeed wanted to benefit from Azzik's mysticism knowledge.

After all, while the original work did not lack all kinds of secret knowledge, it covered very little proper mysticism knowledge, usually only mentioning it in passing. Yet in this world, knowledge truly could be called power. If one did not understand the knowledge and taboos of many mystical fields, one could easily fall into traps or even get oneself killed.

Although Luo Lin Soroast's memories contained plenty of basic mysticism knowledge, aside from information related to the Gou San Jia, they lacked other high-level Beyonder knowledge. Naturally, Luo Lin had to find ways to learn from all kinds of powerful figures to make up for that deficiency.

"If there's anything you want to know, feel free to ask me. As long as I know, I'll tell you." Naturally, Azzik did not know what Luo Lin was plotting. He merely smiled gently.

Amid the harmonious atmosphere between the two, the academic conference finally began. They stopped talking and focused on the meeting. By the time it ended, it was nearly lunchtime.

Luo Lin ate with Azzik and Professor Quentin at Tingen University's cafeteria. He then honestly spent a day acting as a new teacher, before welcoming visitors the following afternoon.

"Good afternoon, Klein. You seem to be in a rather good mood today?" The well-prepared Luo Lin opened the door and saw Klein standing outside. He also noticed another person beside Klein—Azzik. He immediately smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Azzik. Did you come with Klein?"

"Good afternoon, Jack." Klein replied with a smile. "I moved into a new home today, so I really am in a good mood."

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

"Then congratulations, Klein. Where is your new home? I'll come visit you sometime." Luo Lin chatted with the two as he welcomed them inside. At the same time, he noticed that Klein and Azzik were clearly closer than when they had met yesterday. Apparently, they had had a very pleasant conversation on the way.

Luo Lin was not surprised by this either. Klein and Azzik were naturally highly compatible in their values, and they also had a teacher-student relationship. It was perfectly normal for them to get along well.

Luo Lin simply ushered them inside to sit down, then expertly found the coffee set. After brewing coffee, he poured each of them a cup and smiled somewhat apologetically. "Sorry, I only just moved to Tingen, so I only prepared coffee. I don't know whether either of you is used to drinking it."

"It's fine, it's fine. I like coffee," Klein quickly said. This was the truth as well; compared to black tea, Klein did indeed prefer coffee.

"It's very good coffee. I like it very much." Azzik also smiled gently.

"I'm glad you like it." Luo Lin smiled as well. He then poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and said:

"As for the Antigonus Family, to be honest, I don't know all that much either. I can only tell you roughly what I know. As far as I know, the Antigonus Family lived on the main peak of Mount Horamachis. They even established a country called Night Country..."
