Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 417 Little Amon's Magic Show
After a pause, Xiao Ke looked at the tourists stranded in the restaurant, his gaze falling on two children, Donna and her younger brother, who had come to Wuhai for a vacation with their parents and ended up in this unfortunate situation.

The two children were clearly very nervous at this moment, nestled beside their parents, their eyes darting around anxiously, afraid that a monster might suddenly appear.

"If a problem arises that I can't solve, I'll take everyone away." As Xiao Ke said this, he subconsciously touched the talisman in his pocket. It was naturally a talisman specially provided by Mr. Men, enough for him to take everyone in this restaurant away.

In fact, Xiao Ke was indeed prepared to leave at any time. The main reason he didn't act immediately was because he felt that the current anomaly was not like the outbreak of a crisis in Bansi Port, but rather that "Jack" had done something to eliminate the source of the crisis.

Clearly, Mr. Fool's intuition was quite accurate.

Upon hearing Xiao Ke's words, the tourists stranded in the restaurant looked at each other, still feeling scared, but somewhat reassured.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. With us here, you'll definitely be fine," Little Amon said with a smile. He raised his hand to push up his monocle, and then with a flick of his wrist, a top hat appeared in his hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke touched the top of his head, and sure enough, the top hat he was wearing was gone.

"Let me show you a magic trick!" Little Amon said, pretending to flip the top hat in his hand a few times, then blew on it, and the next second two white rabbits poked their heads out of the top hat.

Little Amon then snapped his fingers, and the two little rabbits landed in Donna's and her brother's arms respectively.

"This...this is amazing!"

"What an adorable bunny!"

"Wow!"

Donna and her brother were clearly captivated by the performance, and both showed expressions of surprise at the sight.

"This is a gift for you, a special gift for children," Little Amon said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Magician." Donna and her brother, who were clearly polite children, quickly thanked him. They then carefully began to observe the rabbit in their arms, and the fear and tension that had surrounded them had disappeared.

The children's fear was alleviated, and the adults were also relieved to some extent by the performance, and the atmosphere in the restaurant eased up considerably.

Little Amon then handed the silk hat to Little K, smiling as he said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is it strange that I would do that?"

"It's just a strange feeling, like a naughty kid has finally grown up." Little K took the top hat and had just put it on when he suddenly felt something on his head. He then took the top hat off again, plucked it off his head, and sure enough, grabbed a fluffy little cutie.

"Meow-"

The soft meows revealed the kitten's adorable nature. Xiao Ke looked at the kitten in his hands, which was only a few months old, and chuckled. He couldn't help but look at Xiao Amon and say, "A special treat for children?"

“A special supply for Gehrman,” Little Amon said with a smile, then turned his gaze to Danitz, whose expression was contorted beside him, and asked leisurely, “What, you want one too?”

"No, no!" Danitz quickly shook his head. The reason his expression had been distorted was because he was trying not to laugh—the cat on Gehrman's head looked too out of place.

“But I think you really want it.” Little Amon said, indicating that he didn’t care what you thought, but what he thought, and snapped his fingers.

Danitz froze for a moment, instinctively reaching up to touch his head, but found nothing. The next second, he felt something clinging to his neck—a cool, icy touch accompanied by a hissing sound. "Shit!"

Danitz nearly jumped up, and for a moment he couldn't help but swear. He grabbed the thing around his neck and threw it away.

"You're so grumpy, you scared it." Little Amon gave Danitz a disapproving look and caught the small animal he had thrown away.

Danitz then realized that it was not the venomous snake he had imagined, but a lizard, a white lizard that was not frightening at all, but rather very beautiful.

"Stop teasing him." Little Ke gave Little Amon a disapproving look.

"I wasn't teasing him, it was just a gift. Don't you think this little cutie is adorable?" Little Amon muttered unhappily, then showed the white lizard in his hand to Little Ke.

Xiao Ke paused for a second. Even though he liked furry things, he had to admit that it was indeed a very cute lizard.

Little Amon then showed the lizard to the two children and asked with a smile, "Children, do you think it looks ugly?"

Donna and her brother were clearly not the type of children who were particularly timid. Although they might have been a little afraid of reptiles at first, after taking a closer look, they became bolder, and Donna even spoke up directly:

"Mr. Magician, may I touch it?"

"Of course, don't worry, it won't bite or be poisonous," Little Amon said with a smile.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became increasingly cheerful. When Rolin returned after resolving the matter in the City of Calamity, he saw a bunch of small animals.

"What's this... a pet gathering?" Roland glanced at Little Amon, who was playing with the children with small animals, the two children with rabbits in their arms, and Little Ke, who was holding a cat. For a moment, he couldn't imagine what had happened to create this scene.

"It's just to soothe the children's emotions. You know, small animals are very good at soothing children's emotions," Little Amon explained with a smile.

"You're back!" Little K was clearly relieved to see "Jack" return unharmed. Then he noticed "Lucifer" holding a black cat behind "Jack," and his expression froze.

Little K wasn't surprised that Mr. Lucifer was here; it could only mean that something unexpected had happened while Jack was exploring Banshee, forcing him to call in reinforcements.

But... why is Mr. Lucifer also holding a cat?
Xiao Ke looked down at the peaceful white cat in his arms and for a moment wondered if he was dreaming.

"What...is this cat?" Little Amon naturally noticed the cat in Lucifer's arms and showed a curious expression.

“He…” Wearing the Lucifer cloak, Rolin looked down at the reclusive will of the City of Calamity in his arms, smiled, and answered slowly, “It’s just a gift.”

"A gift?" Little Amon blinked, then asked curiously, "Whose gift is it?"

“This is a gift I’m preparing for Medici.” Roland didn’t try to hide anything in his eyes, but he didn’t explain much either. His gaze then swept over the other people in the restaurant, passing over the nervous tourists before landing on the indigenous residents who had stopped their planes.
