Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 139 Join us, Azik

At this moment, the colors around them changed again, and then the Angel of Destiny Ouroboros appeared in the living room.

"Hey, big snake, you came pretty quickly!" Medici greeted Ouroboros.

Ouroboros nodded at him as a response, then glanced around and landed on Azik.

At this moment, a silver-white shadow appeared behind him. It was a giant snake biting its own tail. The giant snake turned counterclockwise, and changes began to appear on Azik's body. The wounds that had originally been unable to heal disappeared rapidly, and even his clothes were repaired.

“Alright.” Ouroboros said, and the silvery-white shadow behind him disappeared.

"Thank you for your help, sir." Azik thanked him quickly.

Ouroboros nodded at him, his gaze falling on the half-eaten lunch of the others, a curious expression on his face. He then looked at Medici and said, "Medici, what are you eating?"

"Big Snake, didn't you see? This is a dish from our master's hometown. You haven't tried it!" Medici raised the corners of his mouth, looking a little cocky no matter how you looked at him.

Ouroboros was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly showed some desire. He thought for a few seconds, looked at Rowling, and said nothing, but it seemed as if he had said everything.

"Don't worry, since I asked you to help, I will definitely not let you go hungry." Luo Lin also laughed a little at this eager look. He then made an OK gesture to Ouroboros, looked at Azik, and said:

"Azik, you probably haven't had lunch yet, so I'll make some for both of you. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"Don't want it spicy." Ouroboros uttered the word slowly, paused, and seemed to think of something, then added: "Or prepare more water."

"I don't have any dietary restrictions." Azik shook his head.

"Okay!" Rowling nodded, and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch for the two of them. Then the group gathered around the dining table again, but the team had expanded from three to five people.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Luo Lin didn't rush to clean up. Instead, he poured himself a cup of tea and looked at Azik and said, "Azik, do you want to take revenge for what happened today?"

Azik, who was also holding a cup of tea, was stunned when he heard this. He visibly hesitated for a second before saying, "I don't have any intention of revenge, but I do want to find out what the Loen royal family is planning."

"They should be performing the Black Emperor's deification ceremony." This time, Luo Lin didn't intend to keep the suspense any longer and said it directly.

"The Black Emperor... I seem to have some impression of him." Azik raised his hand and pressed his forehead, as if he remembered something, his expression slightly painful.

"Apotheosis Ceremony?" Klein clearly didn't expect such an answer. He frowned and said, "So, the Hand of Order from the Augustus family wants to jump to the Black Emperor Path and advance to Sequence 0?"

During this period, he also took a lot of classes with Luo Lin and knew that the Hand of Order was Sequence 1 of the Arbitrator Path.

"That's not the case. If the Hand of Order wants to become the Dark Emperor, he must first be an emperor, and he clearly doesn't meet the requirements." Rowling shook his head and revealed the secret, "So the one who wants to become the Dark Emperor is probably the current King George III of Loen." Klein was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "George III is a Sequence 1?"

"I don't know, but it shouldn't be." Luo Lin shook his head. He took a sip of his tea and continued, "I'm not too sure about the specifics, but they're definitely trying to pull some tricks to get Qiao San to reach Sequence 0."

"Will this work?" Klein asked in his heart.

"It's hard to say, but there's still a chance of success. After all, theoretically, even an ordinary person has a chance of becoming a god by taking a gulp of the Sequence 0 potion!" Luo Lin said with a smile, then restrained his expression and said:

"It is precisely because the Loen royal family wants Qiao San to become a god that they kidnap people. They need these people to build the mausoleum required for the ceremony."

Having said this, Rowling paused, looked at Klein, and said, "Klein, do you remember when we first came to Backlund, I told you that something big was going to happen there?"

Klein nodded, a look of sudden enlightenment on his face. He said, "So the big event you're talking about isn't about transformation, but the deification ceremony?"

"To be more precise, it was the Loen royal family's attempt to cover up the apotheosis ceremony." Luo Lin corrected him and said:
"The Church will not allow Augustus to escape control. Even if they acquiesce to the birth of a Black Emperor for the sake of doomsday, it will only be when the arrow is on the string and has to be released. Therefore, before he officially becomes a god, Augustus will do his best to cover up this matter."

"In fact, if no one else intervened, Loen would have been faced with a major disaster. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people would have died in that disaster. This was precisely to cover up the large number of people missing caused by Augustus."

"How could they do this!" Klein immediately frowned. He couldn't imagine that the Loen royal family could be so cruel.

Even though Klein knew that a major event related to Loen's past would occur as early as when he arrived in Backlund, at that time, Klein could only guess that it was something like "Why did His Majesty rebel?" But the truth was obviously much more cruel than he imagined.

"That's why we need reform. If we allow such a tyrant to rule, the world will be doomed sooner or later." Rowling wasn't as angry as Klein. He shook his head and looked at Azik. "So, Azik, do you want to join our cause?"

"You also want to prevent such a tyrant from ascending to the throne, right? If so, why not join us and give Augustus a little surprise? It's also a good opportunity to get revenge on them."

"What career?" Azik felt a little behind the times. He looked at Luo Lin hesitantly and said, "Jack, you seem very different from before."

"It's just that my innocent and naive character has been completely transformed." Luo Lin smiled calmly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Azik, I'm not as naive as I appeared before. I was just acting that way to protect myself. I'm sorry for deceiving you before."

Azik was stunned for a moment, his expression a mixture of surprise and realization. He stared at Luo Lin before sighing and smiling gently. "It's okay. There's nothing wrong with wanting to protect yourself. I know you're a good kid at heart, and that's enough."

Medici next to him suddenly showed a sour expression.

"Azik, you really are a good person!" Luo Lin didn't care what Medici thought. He smiled and said, "So you want to join our cause?"
