Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 131 No One is Serious
Klein nodded thoughtfully.

So Mr. Men is indeed the other candidate for the Heavenly Venerable that Lucifer mentioned?
"And Tudor and Chick... their union was influenced by the will of the reviving Celestial Lord, which ultimately led to a certain degree of resurrection of the Prime Creator. It can be considered that the Prime Creator was trapped in his own web. Compared to us, he is even more unwilling to see the Prime Creator resurrected." Rowling concluded, explaining this to Bethel.

Bethel, who had been embarrassed and hadn't noticed some of what Rowling had just said, also showed a thoughtful expression and said solemnly: "I didn't know about this... This is very dangerous."

The original creator must not be resurrected, as his resurrection would likely lead to the destruction of the world.

"So Tudor was killed! Otherwise, how could the battle between the Four Emperors, which was originally at a stalemate, suddenly become so intense? Isn't it because Adam found out that someone was going to do something big?" Rowling spread his hands.

"Tsk, he deserves it. It's a pity that Chike is not dead!" Medici, who had known about this for a long time, curled his lips and said.

Klein didn't know what to say. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Rowling's arm. When Rowling looked at him in confusion, he said seriously, "Let's just say, are there still normal people among the High-Sequence people in this world?"

If before these few days, Klein's impression of the High Sequence was synonymous with mystery, power, and danger, representing prestige and strength, then now, after hearing all the explosive gossip in the past few days, Klein has sincerely doubted the existence of the High Sequence.

Is this high-sequence... really serious?

Why are the things he hears these days getting more and more abnormal?

"That's what high-sequences are like. There's no such thing as a proper high-sequence!" Rowling said, then patted Klein on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You have to get used to it. High-sequences are all like this. There's no such thing as a proper high-sequence in this world."

Luo Lin even gave an example, saying, "Take Bethel, for example. Don't be fooled by his serious and classy appearance. He actually loves to keep a diary. And who can be a serious person if they keep a diary?"

Klein was speechless for a moment.

Bethel looked at Luo Lin with a little surprise and said, "How...how do you know I like to write a diary?"

Luo Lin had no intention of hiding anything and said, "I saw it in the ancient books of the Zoroast family. It records that you like to keep a diary."

"Ahem..." Bethel coughed subconsciously, then realized he had nothing to feel guilty about. He said, "Isn't writing a diary normal? How can that make me unremarkable?"

He is obviously very serious!

Bethel even felt a little aggrieved at this moment. Compared with those monsters and demons in the Fourth Age, he was obviously very normal.

"Writing a diary is certainly a serious matter, but..." Luo Lin changed the subject and said, "It's not normal to like compiling the dark histories of people around you and then turning them into a book."

After Luo Lin finished speaking, he even took out an ancient book from under the coffee table. It looked like it was quite old. On the cover of the book was a line of Hermes language - "Secrets of the Blood Emperor".

"How did you get this book!" Bethel was obviously shocked.

"I don't have it. I made it up." Luo Lin shook his head, then opened the ancient book, only to see that it was blank.

Bethel: …

"So you really did write this book!" Rowling smiled triumphantly. As for how he knew the title, it was thanks to Pales. He'd been chatting with the old man before, discussing some Fourth Age gossip, and the old man had mentioned this book, saying it contained a lot of interesting gossip about the Blood Emperor.

Bethel was truly embarrassed at this moment. He was silent for a long moment before he said nonchalantly, "You know, as a recorder, it's normal for me to write this down, right?"

"That's right, we should have this kind of righteous spirit." Rowling immediately applauded.

"This is beyond my expectation, Bethel. It seems that you are not so old-fashioned and boring." Medici laughed, and it was hard to tell whether his tone was one of praise or ridicule.

Klein didn't react much. After all, compared to other explosive gossip, publishing other people's dark history was nothing.

"Forget it, do whatever you want. This is the only hobby I have. At least it's more normal than others!" Bethel sighed, probably giving up.

"To be frank, that's true." Luo Lin nodded. Compared with other people's explosive hobbies, Mr. Men's hobby was nothing. It was just that he was easily put in a sack.

"But since you run fast, you don't have to worry about being put in a sack. Thinking about it this way, Bethel, you're a natural gossip master!"

Bethel's mouth twitched, but he didn't refute.

The reason why He was not killed despite having so many dark histories in the past was largely due to His high mobility - even a Sequence 0 would find it difficult to catch up with Him.

"So..." Rowling finally revealed his true intentions and said, "Bethel, you see our relationship is so good, why don't you share your private collection with us." There was a gossipy gleam in his eyes.

Although Medici did not speak, he was obviously interested in this matter.

Who doesn’t like to watch other people’s fun!
Klein also pricked up his ears. Although the high-sequence gossip was truly explosive, everyone wanted to watch the fun, and he was no exception.

"You...ah!" Bethel sighed again, then turned serious and said, "If you want to find the books I wrote back then, they're probably gone. Most of them have been destroyed, and a few may have been collected by others, and I don't know where they are. If there's anything you want to know, you can ask me. If I know, I'll tell you."

Rowling immediately showed a disappointed expression. He thought he would be able to get several large collections of gossip this time, but he didn't expect it to be the same as before.

Klein's expression was pensive. He pondered for a moment before speaking, "Mr. Bethel, do you know anything about the Death Archon of the Balam Empire?"

He had been helping Mr. Azik search for the past. Now that such a living dictionary of the Fourth Age was here, Klein naturally wanted to ask him a few questions.

"Death Archon..." Bethel recalled for a moment before saying, "If you're referring to Salinger's descendant named Azik, to be honest, I don't know him very well, but I've seen him a few times. That child..."

Bethel paused here before continuing, "That child was deeply influenced by Salinger. I don't know how he is now, but based on the situation back then, if Salinger falls, he might be the next Salinger."

Of course, this does not mean that the former Archon of Death will inherit the will of the God of Death, but it literally means that Salinger will be reborn in Azik.
