Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 155: Change Faith, Silver City

On the other side, Klein, who had already tidied his room, was about to leave when he suddenly heard "Lucifer" speak abruptly:

"What do you think of the City of Silver?"

Klein was stunned for a moment, looking at Lucifer with a little surprise. Then he realized that with Lucifer's mysterious nature, it didn't seem strange for him to know about the God-forsaken Land and the existence of the City of Silver.

Klein considered it for a moment before answering, "The City of Silver's perseverance in the darkness is both moving and regrettable. I really want to help them, but I have no other options."

"That's a very official answer." Rowling smiled softly. He casually pulled up a chair and sat down. He gestured to another chair in the room and said to Klein, "Sit down. Don't be so nervous. I won't beat you to death. At most, I'll put a sack on you and give you a few beatings."

Faced with his blunt words, Klein's mouth twitched, but he still followed his instructions and sat down in another chair before saying, "Mr. Lucifer, why are you asking this?"

"You care a lot?" Rowling asked back, not paying attention to Klein's reaction. He simply spread out the wordless book he carried with him, placed it on his knees, and then flipped to a certain page before saying:
"Silver City, formerly known as the Silver Kingdom, followed the Giant King in the Second Era, and later converted to the Ancient Sun God. Even today, after the Sun God's fall, they have never changed their faith."

Having said this, Rowling suddenly looked up at Klein and said with a smile, "Do you think they will continue to persevere in the future?"

The adherence to nature mentioned here refers to the belief in the ancient sun god.

His question was simple, but Klein clearly understood something. He swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Will they convert to the Fool in the future?"

"Not that stupid." Rowling smiled before looking at Klein and asking, "Anything you want to ask?"

"Since Silver City converted to the Fool in its original destiny, does that mean Silver City has been saved?" Although he was still a little nervous, since "Lucifer" said so, there was no reason for Klein not to ask, so he quickly opened his mouth and asked.

"According to the original destiny, about two and a half years later, you opened the sealed door between the God-Forsaken Land and the real world, and the people of Silver City therefore migrated to the outside world." Luo Lin did not intend to hide it and answered with a smile.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then thought of something and asked in confusion, "Two and a half years? What sequence was I at that time?"

"Sequence 3 before the door opens, Sequence 2 after the door opens." Luo Lin replied with a smile.

Klein's expression froze. Although he had long known that he was the "destined" savior and his upgrade speed would definitely not be slow, this was still too fast.

Under normal circumstances, being able to advance from Sequence 7 to Sequence 2 in two and a half years would be considered a genius, let alone reaching Sequence 5. Ms. Daly was almost like that.

"That's nothing. If your fate hadn't changed, you'd be half a Celestial Lord in three years." Luo Lin, clearly enjoying the excitement, smiled and added fuel to the fire, "Why else do you think I called you the protagonist of this era?"

Klein was stunned. He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Am I cheating?"

"Well, why not?" Luo Lin didn't deny it. He just smiled and said, "But it's hard to say now. The moment I interfered with your fate, the original trajectory was already disrupted. You may not be able to do the same now."

Klein didn't show any disappointment when he heard this. Instead, he thought for a moment before saying, "There's nothing wrong with this. Replacing the Celestial Venerable in three years... is terrifying. I can guess how exhausted I'd be just thinking about it." Promotion is far from simple, especially when the extraordinary path is accompanied by madness. The higher one advances, the more one needs to fight against madness. Klein didn't even dare to imagine what kind of state he would be in to replace the Celestial Venerable in his original destiny.

But...if there really is no other way, I would probably do the same!

Klein thought of this and sighed inwardly.

"You were indeed very tired and scared back then. Before the duel with Tianzun, your face turned pale with nervousness." Luo Lin joked, then lowered his eyes and said, "This is the only aspect that I cannot dislike you for."

"...Actually, you can also try not to hate me in other aspects." Klein muttered softly.

"That's impossible." Luo Lin raised his eyebrows, speaking rather bluntly. Then he changed the subject and said, "Okay, we've strayed off topic. Let's get back to talking about Silver City!"

Rowling looked up at Klein, closing the book on his lap. He said, "You asked me what I want to do. I can tell you now that I can help Silver City change its current situation in advance. But in return, I need their faith in me."

Does Luo Lin have the ability to help Silver City change its current situation? Of course he does. If nothing else, the Ancient Sun God will definitely have a way. Whether it's opening the gates early to allow the people of Silver City to leave the God-forsaken Land, or changing the situation around Silver City, the Ancient Sun God's power is likely to do it.

As for how to convince the ancient sun god to do this, Luo Lin naturally has his own way.

Klein was stunned when he heard Rowling's words. He was happy for the City of Silver at first, then hesitantly asked, "Mr. Lucifer, are you asking for my opinion?"

"What else?" Luo Lin looked up at him and said with a smile, "After all, they can be considered as the Fool's prospective followers."

Klein's expression suddenly became somewhat subtle. He glanced at Luo Lin, perhaps considering his thoughts for a moment, before saying, "I understand what you're thinking, Mr. Lucifer. Well, although Silver City might have converted to the Fool in their original destiny, that was only their original destiny. They're no longer part of the Fool, and I won't automatically consider them my followers."

"If Mr. Lucifer is willing to save Silver City ahead of time, I would be happy for them." Klein thought of Silver City's millennia-long faith in the Creator and couldn't help but add:

"Of course, if possible, I hope that Mr. Lucifer can respect the opinions of the people of Silver City and not force them to change their beliefs."

"I won't do business that loses money." Luo Lin said with a smile.

Klein felt somewhat helpless, but he couldn't say anything. After all, Lucifer had no obligation to save Silver City, so it was normal for him to ask for a reward. In fact, compared to being saved, simply asking the people of Silver City to change their faith was already a very generous act.

So Klein could only skip the topic and said, "Mr. Lucifer, when you told me about this matter, besides asking for my opinion, did you also mention that I contact the City of Silver in advance?"

"I do have this plan. Even if I want to go to the God-forsaken Land, it is not easy. Contacting in advance can save a lot of trouble." Luo Lin did not deny it and nodded with a smile.
