Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 9 Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos
"It's okay, that's good." Xio said quickly, then began to ponder with some doubt, "Money, ocean... Could it be that I will be thrown into the sea because of some unexpected wealth?"

She really couldn't imagine any danger related to money or the ocean.

However, Rowling guessed what was going on. In connection with the content of the original novel, what he predicted was obviously what happened a month later in the original novel, when Hugh provoked Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos because of the commission of Justice Audrey, and almost died.

Speaking of which, Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos... Luo Lin lowered his eyes slightly, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

To be honest, Rowling was not very interested in the wriggling hunger. Although this thing could be considered a small artifact for ordinary extraordinary people, if it was not sealed, it would eat people every day. Even after being sealed, it would still eat people after the battle. If it was not allowed to eat people, it would retaliate, which was quite a deception.

Unlike Klein, Rowling does not have the Source Castle to suppress the wriggling hunger. Once it is used and fails to satisfy the wriggling hunger, it will suffer a backlash and it is possible that it will fail.

Also relying on external forces, Rowling would rather spend more time to gain the favor of extraordinary people from various paths and borrow their power. However, if he can really get it, at least he can sell it for money or simply give it away as a favor.

Instead, Rowling was more interested in the intelligence held by Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos. This pirate general knew the coordinates of an island with many extraordinary creatures. Although that island was related to Adam, Rowling still wanted to go there and have some fun after he had some cards in his hand.

Maybe you can get the Blasphemy card in Stormpath!
It’s not impossible for Adam to invest in him.

Moreover, there are many extraordinary creatures on that island, which can be said to be a natural material library. Even if Rowling himself cannot use it, it is still good to sell it for money.

Of course, the premise of all this is that when the Hurricane Vice Admiral Qilingos incident occurred, I had the ability to kill him.

Luo Lin thought about this, glanced at Xio in front of him, and suggested: "Could it be related to some pirates?"

Since he was planning to get involved in Qilingos affairs during the hurricane, Rowling naturally had to lay some groundwork.

"Pirate?" Xio was stunned.

"Here's what I'm thinking. You're a bounty hunter, and Backlund is a port city. Perhaps you'll be out to sea for some reason in the next two months, or perhaps pirates have sneaked into Backlund and you'll just happen to encounter them."

Luo Lin said seriously, and what he said was the truth, "Many pirates have bounties themselves, which perfectly meets the two conditions of money and the ocean."

Xio showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. Although she had no evidence, she had to admit that Luo Lin's speculation made a lot of sense.

"I understand. Thank you, Jack. I owe you a favor." Xio said seriously, and added in his heart - if the result of the divination is true.

"I thought you would waive my subsequent commission fees." Luo Lin smiled and joked.

"Russell has a famous saying: even if they're biological brothers and sisters, accounts must be settled." Xio replied seriously, then laughed and said, "And believe me, my favor is worth more than 40 pounds."

"Yes, indeed." Rowling seemed to think seriously for a few seconds, then nodded.

After the two chatted for a while, Luo Lin chose to say goodbye.

He still has a lot to do.

After Luo Lin left, Xiou quickly left the café. After confirming that no one was following her, she returned to her apartment and saw a certain salty fish lazily lying on the sofa reading a novel. Xiou wasn't surprised. After pouring herself a glass of water with familiarity, she sat down next to Fors and said, "Today I met a wild Beyonder like us."

"What?" Fors looked at Xiu upon hearing this and asked rather lazily, "Which sequence of Beyonders? You shouldn't have had any conflict with them, right?"

"No, that was a fortune teller." Xio then recounted what happened today, and then asked worriedly, "Do you think what he said is true?"

In fact, Xiu didn't completely believe what Rowling said, but she was still a little worried about the results of the divination.

"This... is fake, right? Of course, it could be true." Fors finally took it seriously. She sat up straight, thought for a moment, and then comforted him, "Besides, the divination result only shows a possible danger to your life, not a definite death. Maybe you killed the other party and collected the bounty?"

The other party naturally refers to the pirates who may appear.

"That's indeed a possibility..." Xio nodded, agreeing with Fors's statement, and sighed.

"It's okay, it's okay. At worst, you can stay home for the next two months, or I can just stay with you..." Fors seemed to have made up her mind when she said this. "With me here, no matter what danger we encounter, we can escape."

Xio immediately understood what Fors meant. She had a magical stone bracelet that could use the stones on it to "travel," instantly reaching one place from another.

"But will this make your condition worse?" Xio asked with some concern. She knew that her friend was cursed because of using this bracelet and would hear terrible whispers every full moon.

"No, and my condition isn't that serious anymore." Fors said with a smile, hiding her guilty conscience well.

Her condition was actually not good, but in order not to worry her friends, Fors chose to hide it.

"Okay..." Xio obviously didn't expect her friend to lie to her. She nodded, and the worry in her heart finally dissipated a lot. Then she thought of something and said, "If Jack's divination result is true, we can get in touch with him more often in the future. In any case, divination is indeed a useful ability."

Hearing this, Fors nodded in agreement.

……

Although he successfully reached a deal with Xio, extraordinary gatherings are not held every day. At least there have been no extraordinary gatherings to participate in in the past two days. However, according to Xio, Luo Lin is lucky. In two days, that is, on July 7, there will be a relatively high-end extraordinary gathering, and she can recommend Luo Lin to participate.

Fortunately, Rowling was not in a hurry. He slowly made his new vest and then arrived in Tingen on June 6th. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably travel back and forth between Tingen and Backlund in the next two months.

It has to be said that this is a bit troublesome without the ability to travel, but fortunately there is the steam train, so Rowling can accept it.

It was also on this day that Klein arrived at Tingen University. In just these two days, he had cleared the suspicion against him, gained innocence, and received an invitation to join the Nighthawks.

After some consideration, Klein chose to become a civilian staff member of the Night Watch. The reason he came to Tingen University on June 6th was because the original owner had an interview invitation from Tingen University. Although Klein would no longer be teaching at this school, he still needed to explain the situation in person.
