Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 205 Heartbroken

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Although Steam is indeed luckier..." Will naturally didn't know the future fate of the God of Steam and Machinery, but He did know their previous fates. Comparing it with himself who had held the uniqueness for many years but had not been able to accept it, Will's expression distorted for a moment.

Because He found that what Rowling said seemed to have some possibility of coming true.

Gan!
Will cursed in his heart for once.

He then looked at Luo Lin with some frustration and said, "Are you here to cooperate with me or to piss me off?"

"I simply wanted to pierce your heart. After all, it would be a shame not to do so with such good conditions." Luo Lin answered honestly and confidently. He spread his hands and said, "Besides, these two things don't conflict with each other!"

Will: ...

"Can I just turn around and leave?" Will looked at Rowling and asked sincerely.

"Then I will probably catch you back." Luo Lin thought seriously for half a second and replied.

The two looked at each other, and Will sighed and said, "Do you talk to the Sun God and the others like this?"

"It seems that the power of fate has allowed you to see a lot of things." Luo Lin smiled, then spread his hands and said, "What else?"

"Then why didn't they beat you to death?" Will asked seriously.

"They probably did think about killing me, but the price would be too high," Luo Lin answered calmly. He gestured casually and said, "They can't afford to let the whole world die for me."

After a pause, Luo Lin added, "Of course, the most important thing is that the benefits I can bring to them far outweigh the negative emotions I bring to them."

Will choked and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Are you so honest with everyone?"

"Honesty is just one of my many strengths." Luo Lin gave the standard answer with a smile.

At this moment, Will's mind flashed back to the various scenes he had seen while providing the authority of fate, including but not limited to Rowling's various lies and nonsense. So he nodded and said sincerely, "Yes, I believe it."

The two then exchanged a glance before Luo Lin tilted his head and said, "So are you satisfied with the conditions I offered?"

The condition here naturally refers to what Rowling said at the beginning: he can help Will accommodate uniqueness.

"Are you sure the Sun God is willing to help me?" Will questioned. He looked at Luo Lin and said, "Perhaps He would rather help Ouroboros hunt me."

"But I never said to ask the Sun God to help you accommodate the uniqueness of fate!" Rowling blinked. Of course, he would not let the Sun God help Will accommodate the uniqueness of fate. It would be so embarrassing if Ouroboros knew about that!

Moreover, Rowling's intention in supporting Will was to drag him into a fight with the Creator's camp and reduce his own dependence on the Creator's camp. How could he let the Sun God help Will?

"Not the Sun God?" Will was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting such a result. He looked at Luo Lin hesitantly, then asked uncertainly, "Lord of Mysteries?"

"Yes! But you also know that the Lord of Mysteries has not been born yet, so you probably have to wait for a few years." Luo Lin did not keep the secret and nodded frankly.

As for how to get the Lord of Mysteries to help Will? What a joke. Regardless of whether the future Lord of Mysteries is Mr. Men or Klein, given Rowling's relationship with them, it wouldn't be easy to get them to help him.

"...I did sense the impending birth of the Lord of Mysteries." Will hesitated, then looked at Rowling and said, "So, isn't this just a blank check?"

"It's certainly a blank check, but I'd rather call it an investment." Luo Lin took a sip of his coffee and smiled. "Investing in someone like me, with unlimited potential and incredible connections, isn't that a bad choice?"

Will showed a thoughtful expression, nodded after a second, and said, "Although it may seem like self-promotion, you're right, this is indeed not a bad choice."

Will then looked up at Rowling with a puzzled expression and asked seriously, "So what do you hope to get from me?"

Hearing this question, Luo Lin curled his lips and smiled. He took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "First, I am a bit of a collector. I like to collect angels from all walks of life that interest me. But Ouroboros is a subordinate of the Sun God after all. I can't dig into his corner, so I can only set my sights on you."

Will's mouth twitched, and he thought about the angels surrounding Rowling. He had to admit that what the other party said was true. Rowling probably really liked collecting angels from all kinds of channels.

"Secondly..." Rowling put down his coffee, looked at Will and smiled. "Although I'm very happy to be working with the Apollo camp, we both have our concerns and can't achieve a truly close cooperation. I don't want to be too dependent on the Apollo camp, so of course I have to find another partner. You, who are hostile to Ouroboros, are a good choice."

"...Aren't you afraid that the real creator will hear what you said?" Will didn't expect Rowling to be so straightforward, and spoke with some difficulty.

"I never thought of hiding it from them, or rather, they knew my attitude in this regard from the very beginning." Rowling was telling the truth. Apart from anything else, Rowling had already revealed his attitude in this regard when chatting with Pales. He didn't believe that Adam didn't pay attention to it at that time.

After a pause, Luo Lin's smile grew even brighter. "And I know full well that they're wary of me, too. Do you think they've established a hundred plans against me? Or perhaps they've gathered allies to guard against my sudden desire to destroy the world?"

Will was speechless for a moment, because based on his understanding of the Creator's camp, this was certain.

In the end, Will could only sigh and yell, "You adults are so complicated. Unlike me, I simply want to accommodate the uniqueness of fate."

"There's nothing you can do about it. The adult world is just so cruel. Besides..." Rowling's expression turned serious as he looked at Will and said, "You're already a thousand-year-old veteran. Is it really okay for you to pretend to be a cabbage?"

"Who said I'm thousands of years old? I'm obviously only eight years old." Will said without any embarrassment. After he finished speaking, he raised his head and chest out, as if to say "I'm proud to be eight years old."

"Ouroboros is no match for you in this respect. He's not as shameless as you are." Rowling said with emotion.

"You're the one who's truly shameless." Will looked at Rowling seriously and said, "I'm just adhering to the principle of seriously experiencing different stages of life since I'm restarting. Children should act like children."
