"I'm glad you're alright," Luo Lin said, retracting his cross as if relieved. He then looked at Klein, his expression worried.

"You don't look well. Why don't you go back and rest? Don't worry, no matter what Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings is, you'll be fine. I'll help you..."

He paused, then as if remembering something, smiled and added, "And even if I can't, I still have my teacher. My teacher is incredibly powerful! He can definitely help you."

Klein, who had also thought of Lucifer, who was suspected to be a fellow traveler, felt a bit more settled seeing Luo Lin's bright smile.

He didn't actually trust Lucifer, whom he hadn't even met, but Klein chose to believe Jack.

Moreover, Klein knew very well that if there was anyone in this world who could resolve his doubts about traveling and about Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, Mr. Lucifer, who was suspected to be a traveler, was absolutely the most likely one.

As for whether the other party harbored ill intentions towards him...

"I'm already a mess anyway, what else do I have to fear?" Klein gave a wry smile in his heart, his mindset truly becoming somewhat indifferent.

After all, when you owe too much, you don't worry; when you have too many lice, you don't itch. He, Klein, was practically a hot commodity, with his fate being interfered with and him being suspected of being targeted by Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings. What else was there to fear?

However, Klein really didn't have the mood to study arcane knowledge at the moment. After chatting with Luo Lin for a while, mainly warning him not to investigate the Fool and the Antigonus Family anymore, he took his leave.

"Poor Klein, the moment you stepped onto the Grey Mist, you were already in the thick of it, unable to control yourself," Luo Lin sighed inwardly after seeing Klein off, shaking his head.

What Luo Lin had said earlier was intentional. On one hand, it was to tease Klein a little, and on the other, it was to give Klein a preemptive warning, increasing his vigilance towards the Celestial Worthy and motivating Klein's advancement.

As for whether this would crush Klein... well, Luo Lin believed in Klein's resilience. Besides, wasn't he bringing up "Lucifer" to share the pressure with Klein?

"Besides, pressure doesn't disappear just because you're ignorant. Compared to dying in a sweet dream, it's better to live awake, even if it brings pain..." Luo Lin mused inwardly, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"But speaking of which, how much better am I? I can only say that this world is just like this, crazy and twisted..."

Luo Lin shook his head, suppressing the various emotions in his heart. He stretched, then turned to ponder another question.

"It seems Klein really has no intention of developing me into the Tarot Club. If that's the case, I'll proceed with the second plan, but that will have to wait for a full moon."

Luo Lin looked up at the half-moon-shaped Scarlet Moon in the sky and smiled. He then took out his pocket watch to check the time and decided to continue studying mystical knowledge.

Time flew by, and soon it was the full moon night Luo Lin had been anticipating, August 14th.

During this period, Luo Lin had basically been studying various knowledge, including but not limited to basic knowledge in the field of mysticism, various historical events mentioned or not mentioned in the original work, and he had also read many books describing the social conditions and customs of countries like Rune, gaining a comprehensive understanding of this world.

After all, Luo Lin would be living in this world from now on, and he couldn't be completely ignorant of the world he lived in. Therefore, from the moment Luo Lin opened his eyes in this world, he had been intentionally learning these things.

Of course, Luo Lin did not deny that he himself was also a person who enjoyed learning new knowledge; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily engrossed in it.

During this time, Luo Lin also took the opportunity to visit Leonard and Pallez a few times in the capacity of a junior. It was evident that Old Master Pallez was quite content with his current life. As for the matter of "knocking him out," the old gentleman was not in a hurry at all, likely due to lingering concerns.

Luo Lin could understand Pallez's concerns and did not rush him. He simply maintained his life as Jack Jones, and besides studying, he enthusiastically tutored Klein, teaching him knowledge that he couldn't learn in the Nighthawks. He also wrote letters to Azik every few days, making sure not to neglect anyone.

During this period, Luo Lin's digestion progress of the Actor potion naturally advanced further, but not by much. Luo Lin was not in a hurry about this, as he already had plans for digesting the Actor potion.

Luo Lin simply went about his business at a steady pace according to his plan, and then the full moon night arrived.

"It's so beautiful. It's hard to imagine that on such a beautiful moon, there actually resides an ugly Outer God," Luo Lin pushed open the window, looked up at the bright Scarlet Moon in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh. Then, as if remembering something, he smiled.

Luo Lin then flipped his palm, and a seemingly ordinary stone appeared in his palm.

This stone naturally came from Fors's stone bracelet. When he returned to Backlund last time, Luo Lin used research as an excuse and spent some gold pounds to buy one from Fors.

Of course, Mrs. Fors had initially refused, as it was not only an inheritance left to her by Mrs. Doris but also her means of survival. Each stone could allow her to "travel."

But Luo Lin offered too much, and the impoverished Fors ultimately couldn't resist the power of money.

The reason Luo Lin wanted this item was simple: he wanted to use this stone as a medium to summon Mr. Door from the past.

This was certainly achievable, as the medium Luo Lin used for Shadow of Time was never limited to people; it could also be items related to the person in question.

As for why Luo Lin wanted to summon Mr. Door, the reasons were numerous.

"Let me see what kind of person you truly are, Bethel Abraham." Luo Lin tossed the "stone" in his hand. The next second, he raised his hand and pulled in the air, and a figure slowly solidified.

It was a man with a very stern appearance, appearing to be around thirty or forty years old. His hair was a relatively rare void black, with a small amount of white hair faintly visible. He wore a decent and exquisite formal suit, a classic Fourth Epoch asymmetrical style of clothing, adorned with numerous gemstones.

It could be said that Mr. Door's overall style strongly resembled a vampire duke from myths and legends. However, when he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of blue eyes with layered ripples, one realized this guess was incorrect.

Luo Lin looked at the King of Angels before him and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Bethel Abraham. Welcome to the future!"
