Scaring Mr. Fool Is a Beautiful Thing

Luo Lin recounted the intelligence he had on the Antigonus family in a leisurely tone. This included information he knew from the original work as well as knowledge inherited from the memories of "Luo Lin Soroast." After all, as a descendant of the Soroast family, even if they had fallen on hard times, he knew some things about these three prominent Angel families.

However, mindful of his current persona, Luo Lin naturally omitted any details about the supernatural pathways when sharing this intelligence. He only gave a general overview of the Antigonus family's situation, feigning hesitation.

"What's wrong? Is there something you can't say?" Klein, noticing Luo Lin's hesitation, asked in a low voice.

"It's not that it's inconvenient, it's just that the rest involves the realms of legend and mystery, and to be honest, the credibility isn't very high," Luo Lin said, pouring himself another cup of coffee. "According to some rumors, members of the Antigonus family seem to possess some strange powers, which might be related to their beliefs."

"Could it be that the Antigonus family worships some evil god?" Klein speculated subconsciously, recalling the deaths of several people who had acquired the Antigonus family's notes.

Azzik, though silent, clearly showed his interest.

"Probably an evil god. There are very few records about this. I had to consult a lot of materials to find some accounts of the Antigonus family's beliefs."

Luo Lin continued as if nothing was out of the ordinary, "It seems they worship more than one evil god. In those materials, the beings worshipped by the Antigonus family include one called Mother of the Sky, and another called The Fool. I'm not sure if these are two aspects of the same evil god, but based on the descriptions in the materials, they should be two different entities."

At this moment, Klein felt as if he had been struck by lightning. The reason was simple: just yesterday at the Tarot Club, the divine persona he had adopted was named "The Fool."

Not only that, but even earlier, when Klein went to the market to buy things, he had accidentally performed a divination, and the result of that divination was also "The Fool."

And now, the entity worshipped by the Antigonus family was also called "The Fool"... Even though he had only been in this world for a few days and didn't have an accurate understanding of its mysterious powers, Klein felt a prickling sensation on his scalp at this moment.

This was too much of a coincidence, so coincidental it was chilling.

It was only because Klein had mentally prepared himself beforehand and his acting skills were always excellent that he managed to maintain his composure and didn't show his shock.

However, his subtle change in expression could not escape Luo Lin, whose observational skills were no less than that of a Spectator. Luo Lin, who had intentionally brought this up to startle Mr. Fool, took a discreet sip of his coffee, feeling that his Troublemaker potion had begun to digest slightly.

Clearly, startling Klein and finding amusement for himself aligned with the principles of playing a Troublemaker.

Afterward, Luo Lin heard Mr. Azzik murmur as if subconsciously, "No, He cannot yet be called The Fool."

Huh? Did he remember something?

Luo Lin looked up at Azzik, who was frowning, rubbing his temple with one hand, appearing to have a headache.

"Mr. Azzik, do you also know about this Fool?" Luo Lin asked with a curious and slightly worried expression, "But you seem unwell. Are you having a headache?"

"Just an old ailment," Azzik vaguely brushed off the headache, then shook his head. "I don't know this Fool, it's just... I've occasionally seen it in ancient texts, saying that the ancestor of the Antigonus family couldn't be called The Fool yet, at most only half a Fool."

But I never said this "Fool" was the ancestor of the Antigonus family... Luo Lin blinked, but considerately didn't ask further. He just said, "I see. Perhaps the records I read were exaggerated. As you know, believers always tend to exaggerate when describing the beings they worship."

Although Klein was very curious about the matter of "The Fool," he could also tell that Azzik seemed reluctant to discuss it further. Thus, he could only suppress his own curiosity and turn to Luo Lin, asking, "Jack, do you know anything else about that Fool?"

Luo Lin shook his head upon hearing this and then showed a hesitant expression. "I don't know much about that Fool, but if you're really eager to know about it, I can try to look into it. However, I can't guarantee I'll find anything."

"Thank you, Jack. I owe you one," Klein said earnestly. He genuinely wanted to know about "The Fool," as it seemed to be inextricably linked to him.

"Hey, why be so formal? It's a small matter. Aren't we friends? If you really feel bad about it, treat me to a meal later!" Luo Lin waved his hand, smiling.

"Alright, I'll definitely treat you later," Klein calculated his wallet. Although it was still rather empty, he had enough money to treat Luo Lin to a meal.

"Gentlemen, it's almost dinnertime. How about I treat this time? It's a good opportunity to celebrate Klein moving into your new home and Jack starting a new life in Tingen," Azzik, being the reliable adult, suddenly said gently after Luo Lin finished speaking.

"Yes, yes! Let Mr. Azzik pay," Luo Lin, being naturally familiar, immediately said with a smile.

"Thank you for treating us, Mr. Azzik." Since Luo Lin had already agreed, Klein couldn't refuse any further.

Thus, the three of them happily went out and, led by Azzik, arrived at a decent restaurant for a pleasant dinner.

Since they all had work the next day, no one drank. After the meal, they each went home.

Luo Lin, however, did not go home. He simply watched the two of them leave, then let out a slight sigh and curved his lips into a smile.

"As expected, it's much easier to gain favor with the amnesiac Azzik..." Luo Lin walked into a deserted alley, then gently pulled at the air. A phantom image appeared and then merged into Luo Lin's body.

"I can probably borrow the power of a Sequence 7 Seer. Thanks to my stronger spirituality than others, it should be enough for at least one battle..." Luo Lin assessed his own situation and summarized it in his mind.

His deliberate effort to build a relationship with Azzik had clearly paid off. Azzik's favorability towards him was now around twenty to thirty. Don't think this favorability is low; it's about the same level as ordinary friends. To achieve this level of favorability on their second meeting, Luo Lin was quite satisfied.
