Monday morning.
Klein, who was off work due to a rotation, received a reply from his mentor, Cohen Quentin.
Yes, a reply.
Perhaps fate really has inertia. Although this time, under Lin Ruo's interference, Klein's experience was different from the original. Moreover, the incident of solving the Swallowtail Clown and retrieving the Antigonus family's notebook did not seem so deliberate and coincidental because of Lin Ruo's interference.
However, precisely because he solved the Swallowtail Clown in advance, Klein witnessed the Clown's resurrection earlier than in the original work, and once again heard the phrase "Hornacis... Hornacis... Hornacis..."
At that time, Klein, who had not confessed to Lin Ruo that he was the Fool, was naturally inconvenient to ask him about this matter. In the end, he chose to write to his mentor, Cohen Quentin, about the Hornacis main peak, just like in the original work, and received a reply today.
"If you have time, you can visit him at 10:00 am this Monday, Wednesday, or Saturday..." After reading the reply, Klein looked at the time mentioned in the letter and glanced at the clock.
It was naturally not yet ten o'clock, and even a little before eight o'clock.
And Klein had no time this week other than today, whether it was Wednesday or Saturday morning.
"Fortunately, I'm still in time." Klein said this as he stood up. He naturally planned to visit his mentor, Cohen Quentin. After all, although the Antigonus family's notebook had been retrieved, the whispers about "Hornacis" still troubled Klein, and he naturally hoped to obtain more information.
Or maybe he could ask Lin Ruo later, he always knows a lot of things... Klein thought to himself, picked up his cane, put on his top hat, tidied up his clothes in front of the mirror, and went out the door towards the tram stop.
Sitting on the tram, it didn't take too long for Klein to arrive at Khoy University.
Because it was already summer vacation, the inside of Khoy University was obviously much deserted, but the green trees were shady, and the flowers and birds were flourishing. Instead, this desertedness gave it a unique beauty.
Following his memory, Klein walked along the river for a while, then turned onto the road leading to the Department of History. Soon, he found a somewhat old three-story gray stone building and found his mentor Cohen Quentin's office.
However, to Klein's surprise, when he knocked on the door and entered his mentor Cohen Quentin's office, the first person he saw was not his mentor Cohen Quentin, but a man with bronze skin, medium build, black hair and brown eyes, soft features, and a sense of vicissitudes that seemed indescribable in his eyes. It is worth mentioning that a small mole was hidden under the man's right ear, which could not be found without careful observation.
Klein knew him, Mr. Azik, Cohen Quentin's friend, a history teacher who often argued with him about academic issues.
"Good morning, Mr. Azik, where is my mentor? He said in the letter that I could come to visit him at ten o'clock this morning," Klein asked in confusion.
Azik smiled and said, "Cohen has some stomach discomfort and just went to the restroom. If you don't mind, you can wait here for a while. Well, but his condition seems to be more serious, you may need to wait a little longer."
After saying this half-jokingly, Azik suddenly frowned and looked at Klein carefully.
Although he had not yet recovered his memory, as a former Sequence 2 Death Consul, a big shot who had recovered part of his power, Azik keenly noticed the abnormality in Klein.
After all, although Lin Ruo had intervened, Ince, that dog thing, did not stop his arrangements for Tingen. As Klein, who should have been written to death but did not die, and was already noted in Ince's little book, his fate was naturally full of traces of being arranged.
And this naturally aroused the attention of Azik, who was now confused about his past and wanted to explore it, and curious about the extraordinary but afraid of encountering danger and destroying his current life after touching it.
Should it be said that it was fate or coincidence? Without Lin Ruo's deliberate guidance, Klein and Azik, the two people who were not father and son but better than father and son in the original work, intersected at this moment.
... ...
Afternoon, a few minutes before three o'clock.
Lin Ruo, who was in Backlund, glanced at the clock and took a slight breath.
"Damn it, I'm actually a little nervous..." After muttering silently, Lin Ruo then saw the crimson erupt and engulf him.
Accompanied by a moment of trance, almost the next second, Lin Ruo came to the gray fog again, saw the familiar palace, and the mottled and ancient bronze long table.
And the Fool, disguised by Klein, was still sitting at the head of the bronze long table. Lin Ruo noticed that the gray fog on the other party was thicker than usual.
Lin Ruo knew that Klein was like this because he was worried that Audrey, who had become an Spectator, would discover the clues by observing later. After all, he hadn't become a clown yet, and he relied entirely on his acting skills to fool people.
In fact, the reason why Lin Ruo teased Klein yesterday, letting him experience what it means to be socially dead, instead of doing this during today's Tarot meeting, in order to experience greater fun, was also considering this point - jokes are jokes, the Fool's vest cannot be dropped!
But when Klein is promoted to Clown, he can try... cough!
Lin Ruo, who was serious on the surface but actually had a lot of "bad intentions" in his heart, then greeted with a smile:
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool!"
"Good afternoon, Mr. Chariot!" After yesterday's "special training", Klein, who already understood what "as long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassing one is someone else", was obviously able to calmly respond to Lin Ruo's greeting at this moment.
He then hesitated, and the words Azik had said in the morning about the disharmony of his fate came to his mind, and he hesitated whether to open his mouth.
After all, unlike the original work, Klein has not experienced too many coincidences now, and for this reason, after Mr. Azik pointed out that there was a disharmony in his fate, Klein's first reaction was disbelief, and then he thought about whether this matter was related to Lin Ruo.
It's not that he doesn't trust Lin Ruo, but Lin Ruo is, after all, a suspected high-level existence, and he is inexplicably bound to him. Under this circumstance, it is quite normal for Klein to have a disharmony in his fate because of him.
This may not be the other party's intentional influence, just like a big man can easily change the fate of a small man, it may just be the result of an unconscious influence.
At the same time, although there was the cover of the gray fog, Lin Ruo, who had become quite familiar with the other party after this period of time, also keenly noticed something and immediately asked: "What's wrong, Klein, is something the matter?"
