Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 158 Lucifer and Pales

Luo Lin was naturally not surprised by Pales' choice. After all, there were many opportunities to hunt Amon's clones. Theoretically, old man Pales could find an opportunity alone, but the opportunity to beat Amon's real body was rare. If he missed this time, there might not be a next time.

This is not only because Amon's original body is an angel king and Pales cannot defeat him, but also because Amon, the King of Gou, is well versed in the ways of the three Gou families. Unless necessary, his clones will act outside, while his original body will stay in the God-forsaken Land all year round, with his three fathers.

To be honest, Luo Lin always felt that Amon's attitude towards his third father, the real creator, was completely hypocritical. He said that he would never acknowledge the real creator as his father, but he usually stayed in peace in the God-forsaken Land and did not worry about his third father's backstabbing.

At the mysterious ending, facing Yazao, the fusion of the third and fourth fathers whom he did not acknowledge, he generously asked him to help stabilize the situation. The main message was that although I do not acknowledge you as my father, I still want you to protect me and help me.

"From this, it can be seen that the Sun God really dotes on his children. If it were someone with a more explosive temper, he would have beaten Amon into a cookie long ago. Lucifer's treatment of Jack is not a parental filter. This is the real parental filter!"

Luo Lin muttered to himself, secretly feeling that even a noble person like the Sun God had his own selfish desires.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. After all, if there is no selfishness, then wouldn’t he become a robot like Adam? That would be scary for Rowling.

Although he was thinking a lot, only a second had passed in the real world. So to the others, Lucifer simply paused after hearing Pales's answer, then curled his lips and said, "Very good. I'll pick you up on the day of the operation. If nothing goes wrong, it should be next Monday."

After participating in the Tarot Club's seamless transition to the Fun Club's "Operation Blindness," Luo Lin felt that the timing was just right.

It’s a pity that Leonard hasn’t joined the Tarot Club yet. How about finding an excuse to trick him into joining?
Luo Lin's eyes fell on Leonard. He thought seriously for a second and decided not to rush. He just said:

"Leonard, you can also prepare. This Operation Blindfold is also a club activity. As a Low-Sequence Member, you can watch from the sidelines with the others. After the Blindfold is over, there will be some small games. You can try to participate. It won't hurt you."

"Oh, okay, I see." Leonard nodded quickly, then suddenly thought of something and said, "Wait, Your Excellency Lucifer, I'm still undergoing special training with the Red Gloves. I'm afraid I won't have time next Monday..."

"It's okay. You can ask for leave in my name." Luo Lin looked at him with a smile and said meaningfully, "Dark Night will support you."

Luo Lin knew very well that as an old coin who had many plans but seemed to have a hand in every line, the Goddess of Night must want to know more about him than anyone else.

Leonard was stunned for a moment before he realized that the night the angel in front of him was referring to might be the "Goddess of Night". This made Leonard swallow his saliva and feel a little nervous for no reason.

Could it be that the goddess would watch him attend the party of the Fun Club?
Goddess, this is too... Leonard just thought about this possibility, and he felt goosebumps all over his body, with a subtle emotion of pain, happiness and embarrassment coexisting.

No, that's not right. The church is not without undercover members in secret organizations, not to mention that the club should be considered a friendly party. If the goddess is really watching me, it just means that my choice is not wrong, and all this is tacitly approved by the goddess.

Leonard comforted himself in his heart, but he was still a little nervous, and his nervousness was mixed with a bit of anticipation.

Luo Lin glanced at him, smiled, and then looked at Pales. He seemed to have finally finished his business and entered a private state. He looked the old man up and down with a critical and complicated gaze. After a long while, he sneered and said, "You are even more embarrassed than I thought."

This was naturally to maintain Lucifer's persona. Most of the time, Lucifer was decent, but occasionally, in front of certain special people, he would naturally show a bit of sharpness. Pallez was stunned for a moment. He looked at Lucifer before him, confirming that he didn't know him before. But then he thought of something and said, "Sir, may I ask, what is your last name?"

Luo Lin maintained his Lucifer persona, looked at Pales with a cold yet slightly complicated look, and then said:

"Lucifer Zoroaster."

"My full name."

really!

Pales was not surprised at all. When he first met the angel in front of him, he had already sensed a slightly familiar blood aura from the other party. However, Pales was not sure at that time. Now his guess has been completely confirmed.

But this didn't make Pales very happy. Instead, he felt bitter. He looked at Lucifer, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't know what you've been through... I'm sorry."

Although Amon was the main culprit who brought disaster to the Zoroast family, the Zoroast family fell into this state because of the incompetence of this ancestor. Incompetence possessed a thief's Sequence 1 characteristic, which was the original sin in this world.

"No need to apologize. You are not the one who brought disaster to me. You are just an ordinary waste." Rowling said lightly, but his words were more heartbreaking than blaming Pales.

Pales felt increasingly bitter, but he did not object.

"You don't have to worry about the Zoroastrian blood in me. I didn't change my last name because it belonged to my parents, not because of you, my ancestor."

As Luo Lin spoke, his gaze fell on Pales, and he said with a hint of disappointment, "I came here today just to see what the so-called ancestor worshipped by everyone in the Zoroast family is all about."

The results speak for themselves.

"Okay, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. See you next time!" Rowling stood up. At this moment, he restrained all the sharpness in his body, smiled again, and his eyes looking at Pales no longer contained any emotion, as if he was no different from others to him.

This kind of equal treatment made Pales even more uncomfortable.

However, before He could say anything, the angel in front of Him disappeared into the room just as He had come.

Pales looked at the place where the other person disappeared and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing and could only sigh dejectedly.

"Old man, are you okay?" Although Leonard didn't quite understand what had happened, he could only roughly guess that the mysterious Mr. Lucifer might be a descendant of the old man like Rowling, and had also suffered persecution from Amon, but he could also see that Pales was in a very low mood.
