Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 206 Will Who Never Grows Up
"Is that so..." Facing Will's words, Luo Lin didn't seem embarrassed or angry at all. He just pinched his chin and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly said thoughtfully, "Actually, there's a question I've been curious about for a long time. I just wonder if you can answer it?"

"I'm a little uncomfortable with your sudden politeness. What exactly do you want to ask?" Will looked at Rowling in confusion.

"What I want to ask is, since you experience different stages of life every time you restart, have you ever been married and had children? Have you ever experienced being old and frail, bedridden, and having unfilial children?" Rowling blinked and asked.

He was really a little curious. Azik had also restarted his life, and in countless of his lives, he had obviously been in love, married, and had children. So did Will have the same experience?

Anyway, Ouroboros, who is also a mercury serpent, certainly doesn't have this. Every time he restarts, he spends it with the real creator and has no such life experience.

Will was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Rowling to ask that. He then took a sip of his coffee and said, "You really asked a good question."

"So is it yes or no?" Luo Lin looked at Him with a smile.

"...No, in most cases, I won't live to adulthood after restarting. I will restart again when I'm a teenager or even a child. The few who survive to adulthood won't actually get married and have children." Will shook his head and didn't hide anything. This was not a secret that could not be told.

"After all, I'm a mercury snake, and I'm being hunted by Ouroboros. Marrying an ordinary person would only harm them. For example, if it weren't for you, I would have restarted my life."

"Indeed, you're not suitable for marriage in your situation." Luo Lin nodded, and suddenly said, "No wonder you're so adept at playing the role of a child. It turns out that in a sense, you really are a child who never grows up."

"That's why I'm not some thousand-year-old old fool. I'm much younger mentally!" Will emphasized again.

"Pfft!" Luo Lin couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Then he raised his hand and rubbed Will's head, saying with a smile: "Okay, little Will, you are indeed only eight years old."

"So..." Luo Lin paused here, looked at Will with a serious expression, and asked with a smile: "Little Will, do you want to grow up quickly or never grow up?"

The implication is to ask Will why he often restarts again after not growing up, whether he likes this kind of life or because he is hunted by Ouroboros and is forced to restart again and again, becoming a child who never grows up.

"Don't pinch my head, or I won't grow taller." Will yelled in dissatisfaction like a real child, then looked at Rowling and said, "Of course being a child is fun, but who wants to stay small forever?"

The implication is that he does not reject life as a child, but he also hopes to grow up when he wants to, rather than being forced to restart.

"You are so greedy, little Will. But it doesn't matter. You are a kid after all, of course you can have them all!" Rowling smiled and watched Will stretch out his hand, showing the Fun Club badge that appeared in his palm at some unknown time.

He looked at Will and smiled. "So you want to join my Fun Club? Once you join, you can freely decide whether you want to be a child or grow up quickly."

"Ouroboros is also a member of your club, right?" Will stared at the badge for a few seconds and asked, "Are you sure he won't hunt me?"

"I'm not sure, but as long as you're still a member of the club and my collaborator, I'll protect you within my sight. So, working with me is a good deal, isn't it? In just a second, you can escape being hunted!" Rowling said this seriously. Then, as if thinking of something, he added with a smile, "Of course, if one day I fall out with the Apollo faction, then I'll probably be hunted down along with you."

"That doesn't sound very reliable," Will complained. He then took the badge from Rowling's palm and put it on his collar. He then took out a small mirror from somewhere and looked at himself. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Good aesthetics."

"Of course!" Luo Lin smiled and looked at Will. "By the way, little Will, let me give you a tip. The Lord of Mysteries will be born soon. Don't rush to restart it."

"Got it, got it. Thanks for the reminder." Will nodded. He then tilted his head to glance at Luo Lin and said, "So, is it Mr. Men or the kid next to you?"

"I don't know! It depends on who's in better shape in the future." Rowling spread his hands and added, "At the moment, Bethel is more likely."

"So you can indeed remove the pollution of the Outer Gods," Will muttered. It was hard to tell whether his expression was happy or a little lost. He suddenly patted his chest with a slightly confused hand, then looked up at Luo Lin and said, "I always feel like I've lost something. Is it my illusion?"

Luo Lin blinked, looked at Will and suddenly said, "Would you like to stay at my house for a few days? Maybe you can find what you lost!"

……

"So why did you bring another child home?" "Jack Jones" looked at Will beside his original body, then looked at little Amon who was staring at Will curiously. Suddenly, he slapped his head and said, "It's over. This is going to become kindergarten!"

"Who is this young gentleman?" Klein asked with a hint of curiosity. With the example of little Amon before him, he didn't think Lucifer would just bring back an ordinary person.

"This is Will, one of the only two Mercury Snakes in the Path of Destiny, and my ally. Incidentally, the other Mercury Snake is Ouroboros," Rowling, wearing the Lucifer vest, introduced with a smile. "Will won't be staying at home permanently; he'll be leaving in a few days."

"Tsk!" Medici had naturally recognized who Will was a long time ago. He glanced at Rowling and said nothing.

Medici could naturally see why Rowling was looking for Will even though he already had Ouroboros as a partner. Although he was speechless, he did not intend to stop him.

After all, Adam is there, so Medici thinks it is reasonable for Rowling to be on guard.

As for Ouroboros... Medici actually didn't support Ouroboros's continued promotion. Considering Ouroboros's condition, continuing to promote him might not be a good thing.

Of course, if Ouroboros wanted to hunt Will, he wouldn't stop him either.

"Hello, Sir Will." Azik didn't think too much about it and greeted him with a gentle smile.
