Mystery: Chaos Path

"Who would mind such a thing?" Roland glanced at Azik with dissatisfaction and clamored, "Klein obviously needs the copper whistle more than I do. My fate hasn't been interfered with. If I want to contact Mr. Azik, I can slowly arrange the ritual. A jinx like Klein needs this kind of instant-use item to save his life. I understand all of this. Besides, am I the kind of person who would snatch things from a student?"

Roland naturally understood why Azik gave the copper whistle to Klein. It wasn't because he had a better relationship with Klein, but because Klein really needed it.

Roland didn't really care about the ownership of the copper whistle. Rather, even if Azik really gave it to him, he would refuse—Azik could clearly locate the copper whistle's position. Roland was someone who needed to use multiple identities, so carrying this thing wouldn't be suitable.

"Student?" Azik was a little puzzled.

Klein's brow twitched.

"Yes, Klein is my student..." Roland nodded as a matter of course.

Azik was stunned for a moment. He looked at Klein with suspicion, then at Roland, and said uncertainly, "Klein, are you Jack's student?"

"Yes." What else could Klein do but nod?

"This is really... surprising." Azik's face showed undisguised surprise.

"What's so surprising? Can't I be someone else's teacher?" Roland seemed to see the implication in Azik's words and immediately clamored with dissatisfaction.

"After all, a certain teacher is really worrying. It's not surprising that Mr. Azik is surprised," Klein said with a smile, his mischievous nature showing a little at this moment.

Azik nodded in great agreement, saying, "Jack doesn't seem like someone who can be a good teacher."

"You guys—" Roland glared at the two of them angrily and said unhappily, "Have you forgotten that my job is a teacher?"

Hearing this, Azik exchanged a glance with Klein. The former smiled and said, "Sorry, I forgot. Although he doesn't seem very reliable, Jack is indeed a qualified teacher."

Klein was also afraid of teasing him too much, so he smiled and said, "Yes, that's true. The teacher is at least very qualified in terms of being a teacher."

"I feel like there's something behind your words..." Roland naturally couldn't fail to hear the teasing in their words, but he didn't really care, as this was the effect he wanted anyway.

Roland just hummed a couple of times and looked at Klein, saying, "Klein, do you need me to find the teacher?" His expression was undisguised worry.

Klein's heart stirred. Thinking of Roland's teacher, who was suspected to be a fellow transmigrator, "Lucifer Zoroaster," he pondered for a few seconds and nodded, "Thank you, Jack."

"Isn't it a matter of course for a teacher to help his student?" Roland waved his hand and said with a worried expression, "But my teacher really might not be free recently. Alas, I hope he can reply to me soon. He hasn't replied to the letter I wrote to him last time..."

"Did your teacher tell you what he's been busy with recently?" Klein asked, half out of curiosity and half as a probe.

"He told me last time that he was investigating the whereabouts of the Angel of War. I don't know the specifics. He hasn't replied to me these days..." Roland spread his hands and complained with dissatisfaction, "That guy is always mysterious, a riddle-solver. He doesn't know how to be considerate of his students at all."

"Angel of War?" Klein showed a curious expression.

"Seems to be one of the Eight Great Angel Kings of ancient times? I'm not too clear about this. Klein, if you're curious, I can ask for you when I write a letter," Roland scratched his head and said.

"Thank you, Teacher." Klein obviously understood the principle of being beholden to someone, and even changed his address. He then asked curiously, "Jack, what Sequence is your teacher? Do you know?"

"I don't know. He hasn't told me," Roland shook his head with a dazed look, showing a clear and foolish persona.

Hearing this answer, Klein felt half helpless and half speechless, and also had a feeling that it was expected.

Roland seemed to remember something and looked at the two of them, saying:

"By the way, I'm going back to Backlund in a few days. Is there anything you need me to bring?"

...

Roland's saying that he was going back to Backlund wasn't a joke. In fact, a few days later, Roland once again boarded the steam train to Backlund.

Of course, Roland could now use Azik's ability to travel quickly through the spirit world, although the speed wasn't as fast as a Traveler, it was still faster than taking a steam train—but there was no need.

After all, Roland was coming to Backlund this time to obtain the Fool's honorific name from the surface, so he naturally had to make his itinerary look like there were no problems.

After arriving in Backlund, Roland quickly met Hugh at the agreed location, who was waiting there.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." Roland went up to her and asked in a low voice, "I've read your letter, but it wasn't written very clearly. Can you tell me the situation in more detail?"

Hearing Roland's words, Hugh nodded and explained the recent events—after receiving Roland's letter, Hugh and Fors, who felt that what he said made sense, chose to contact Viscount Glaint, who was very famous in the mysticism circle, after some inquiries and investigations, and successfully connected with Audrey Hall, the daughter of Earl Hall, through him.

"I haven't had time to ask them about the Fool. I plan to ask after attending this Extraordinary gathering and becoming more familiar with them." Speaking of this, Hugh seemed to think of something and looked at Roland, saying:

"By the way, when Fors introduced you to Miss Audrey, she said that you are an Extraordinary with an ancient family background and extensive knowledge. You shouldn't mind, right?"

Because they were going to attend the Extraordinary gathering together, Hugh and others naturally introduced Roland's existence to Audrey and others in advance, but they didn't say his name.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Roland shook his head. He naturally wouldn't mind such a thing.

"Then let's go pick up Miss Audrey..." Hugh nodded, and then the two of them got into a carriage and came to the outside of Viscount Glaint's villa. Soon, Fors, disguised, came out with a man and a woman.

Needless to say, the man, who looked like he wasn't in very good health, was obviously Viscount Glaint, who was determined to become a pharmacist in the original work.

And the girl in the cloak next to Viscount Glaint was obviously the famous Justice Audrey in the original work.

She had a beautiful appearance that could almost rival a witch, and her behavior was calm and elegant. It was obvious that she had received a good education. Even though she had changed into plain clothes, one could still see the preciousness of the fabric. Combined with the jewelry that looked expensive at a glance, the whole person could be said to exude an aura of "money power."
