Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 108 Master Luo fights the Red Angel?
Luo Lin slept until the heat death of the universe...ah, he slept until the next morning.

Rowling naturally didn't care about this. He quickly packed himself up and prepared to go downstairs for breakfast. However, as soon as he got downstairs, he saw Klein standing at the door, talking to a young man in a coat and hat.

When the boy saw Luo Lin, his body stiffened noticeably. It wasn't because he was that afraid of Luo Lin, but simply because it was the reaction of meeting a stranger while they were talking about something that couldn't be heard by others.

"This is my assistant. Don't be nervous." Klein explained quickly, labeling Rowling as his assistant without a second thought.

"Hi!" Luo Lin waved in their direction, and had no intention of getting involved. He just followed the smell and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

The young man, Ian, was obviously relieved when he saw this, and continued the previous topic, saying, "Detective Sherlock, can you take me to see Mr. Zreal's body?"

It turned out that just yesterday, a young man named Ian approached Klein, who had just arrived in Backlund, and gave him a commission. The commission was to find the situation of a man named Zreal.

As a metaphysical detective, Klein naturally found his target quickly - in a sewer, a man named Zreal was dead, and Klein found his body.

Klein naturally wouldn't refuse his client Ian's reasonable request. After talking to him for a few words, he prepared to change his clothes and go out.

Just then, Rowling came out carrying half an apple pie. Seeing Klein looking like he was about to leave, he wasn't surprised. He simply asked, "Who made this apple pie? It's quite delicious."

"Uh, it was made by Mr. Hong. He's a very good cook." Klein's expression became more subtle at this point. "I had already prepared breakfast, but Mr. Hong took one bite and was very dissatisfied. He went to the kitchen and made a new one himself."

"He has this kind of cooking skill? You really can't judge a person by his appearance." Rowling raised an eyebrow in slight surprise. He then patted Klein's shoulder with his free hand and said soothingly, "It's okay, Sherlock. Xiaohong is just too picky. You're a good cook, really."

"Actually, I don't really care about this. I'm just a little surprised that Mr. Hong can actually cook." Klein shook his head, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Where did Xiaohong go?" Luo Lin asked with some confusion after taking a bite of apple pie.

"He left after breakfast. Maybe something happened!" Klein thought for a second before answering. He glanced at Ian, who was waiting at the door, and said, "I'm leaving too. I won't talk to you anymore. See you later."

"See you later!" Rowling waved to Klein and watched him change his clothes and leave. He then carried the apple pie to the coffee table, made himself a cup of coffee, and ate while thinking, "Speaking of which, that client was Ian, right? So..."

Luo Lin raised his eyebrows, a hint of anticipation on his face. "If Master Luo still comes charging forward like in the original novel, won't he be fighting the three of us alone?"

In the original novel, due to Ian's commission, Klein was involved in the struggle between the Loen military and the Intis Medici spies. He was eventually forced to sell his life to kill the Intis ambassador and hired Sharon to kill Rosago who came to kill him. Although he paid a huge price, he also successfully gained the characteristics of the Puppet Master, and Mr. "World" was successfully born.

Now it is obvious that under the guidance of fate, Klein still accepted Ian's commission. However, it is unknown whether the subsequent events will develop as in the original book.

"What bad ideas are you planning again? You're laughing so happily."

Medici's voice suddenly rang out, as usual with a hint of sarcasm. The next second, his figure emerged from the reflection of the window, turning from a paper man into a three-dimensional being once again.

"That's really heartbreaking. I never had any bad intentions. I'm a fun-loving person, but I'm a staunch supporter of the happy ending!" Rowling said, gesturing to Medici at the last bite of apple pie on his plate. "By the way, you're a good cook, but I didn't expect you to cook for yourself."

"Ha!" Although Medici didn't understand what the so-called happy end was, he could roughly guess what it meant. He sneered at this, glanced at the plate in front of Luo Lin, and said sarcastically:
"I have no choice. I have to take care of two cubs who can't even take care of themselves. If I don't cook, I'm afraid you'll starve to death."

This was clearly a satire on Rowling and Klein.

Luo Lin blinked, then nodded and said, "Indeed, Amon and Adam must be quite difficult to take care of. It's amazing that you have developed such good parenting skills."

Of course, Rollin understood Medici's sarcasm, but that didn't stop him from distorting the facts.

Medici was too lazy to refute after hearing this, and just rolled his eyes in annoyance.

Luo Lin took a sip of coffee and continued, "So this is the order of the true Creator?"

Rowling didn't think Medici would really cook for Klein just because he didn't like his breakfast.

"Don't you know it very well?" Medici curled his lips, took out an apple from somewhere, took a vicious bite, and said, "The Lord asked me to take care of you, what the hell!"

"Those who are capable should do more work. After all, you are very skilled in taking care of the cubs." Luo Lin said a few words in a soothing tone, and then asked casually, "Did you just go to the East District?"

"Are you following me?" Medici looked at Rowling with slightly sharp red eyes.

"I don't have the time for that. Why would I follow you? If I want to know what you're doing, why not just ask?" Luo Lin rolled his eyes, pushed his finished plate aside, and took a sip of coffee before saying:

"It's just a little deduction. I guess the true creator should have asked you to go to the East District to investigate the situation there, right?"

"Crack—" Medici glanced at Rowling after hearing this. He took another bite of the apple, his eyes flashing with thought. Then, as if he had figured something out, he asked, "What did you do?"

"I'm just offering you an opportunity," Rowling said without blinking. "Yesterday, Mr. Apollo and I wandered around Backlund, experiencing the customs of this era. To give Mr. Apollo a comprehensive understanding of this era, I took him to the East District for a look."

Medici lowered his eyes upon hearing this, apparently recalling something, and said, "The Lord will not tolerate such a sinful place. He always hopes that everyone can live well."

"Yes, Mr. Apollo is indeed very dissatisfied with the situation in the East District, so he hopes to make some changes, or rather, reforms." Luo Lin laughed at this. He looked up at the Red Angel in front of him and continued:

"Sooner or later, a war will break out in this world. Mr. Apollo and I both hope that it will be a war of change. And this is indeed an opportunity for you, isn't it?"
