Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 208 Little Amon is sick
"Of course I don't deny that I have selfish motives. I fear everything I'll face after becoming a Celestial Lord. I fear losing my humanity and becoming no longer myself. In that sense, I'm just a coward, not as brave as Mr. Bethel." Klein paused here, looked at Will, and suddenly said:

"So I'm sorry, Will. I don't know what our relationship was like in our original destiny, but I can probably guess a little. I'm sorry, but you probably can't be my angel investor anymore. But Mr. Bethel is also a very good person. If you really need anything, I can go to Mr. Lucifer and ask him to help set you up in person."

Will stared at Klein for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "Hey, you little bastard! I think I understand why you became such a great being. No wonder I invested in you in my original destiny... Isn't this just like me?"

"Huh?" Klein was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Will was talking about.

Will did not explain. He did not intend to tell the little guy in front of him that although their personalities were very different, they were similar in some aspects. For example, their desire for power was not high. For them, some existences were far more important than gaining power.

Will suddenly took out a square piece of paper from his pocket and folded it into a thousand paper cranes with the flick of his fingers.

"Yes!" Will handed the paper crane to Klein.

"Uh, thank you?" Klein took the paper crane with a confused look on his face, not quite understanding what it was for.

"This little gadget can bring you a little luck. Although it may not work well for you, it's better than nothing! In addition, I can use it to locate you. If you have any problems in the future, you can also use it to find me..." Will explained.

Klein was stunned for a moment, looked down at the paper crane in his hand, looked at Will hesitantly, and said, "But..."

"Don't say buts. Although you may not become that being in the future, you will definitely become an angel, right? Then consider this as my advance investment in gaining allies!" Will interrupted Klein, then jumped off the chair, looked up at Klein, and said, "Is there any ice cream?"

"Yes, because little Amon and I both like sweets, Mr. Azik made an extraordinary refrigerator... well, anyway, it exists." Klein nodded. He originally wanted to explain what a refrigerator was, but then realized that it couldn't be explained clearly in a few words, so he simply skipped it.

"That's enough. I want three." Will stretched out his hand and gestured a number.

"But you're so young, won't you get stomach upset if you eat three?" Klein said almost subconsciously. Only then did he realize that the child in front of him was not a real child, but an angel.

So the angel shouldn’t get sick from eating ice cream, right?

……

It turns out that the Mercury Snake doesn't get a stomachache from eating too much ice cream, but little Amon will get a fever from eating too much ice cream.

"I understand the logic, so why did the angel get a fever from eating too much ice cream?" Rowling, wearing Jack's vest, stared at the overly red-faced little Amon who swallowed the fever-reducing pills, then tilted his head to take the towel handed to him by Klein and applied it to the little Amon's forehead to physically cool him down.

"Perhaps Amon sealed Little Amon's physical fitness to that of an ordinary person in order to give him a more realistic experience of ordinary life?" Klein didn't quite understand why Little Amon, an angel, would have a fever. While speculating, he felt a moment of regret as he looked at Little Amon lying sick in bed.

All he knew was that he should have stopped little Amon from ordering ice cream with Will.

Although Amon was very disdainful, Klein's conscience really couldn't remain indifferent to a child's illness.

"It's my fault. I didn't notice that this Amon was in a special state." Will was also standing by the bed, looking a little annoyed.

"So we really can't just use Reboot to treat it?" Rowling asked, looking at Will. "His condition is very unique. If I use Reboot on him, it would likely cause a chain reaction, like reverting him back to adulthood... Do you want that?" Will shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Rowling exchanged glances with Klein. The latter seemed tempted, while the former said without hesitation, "That's fine. The naughty kid deserves a lesson for doing something wrong. I believe that after this incident, little Amon won't dare to eat ice cream blindly again."

If this situation happened to someone else, Rowling would definitely not hesitate, but Amon... ha!

Luo Lin said that he would not be too soft-hearted towards Amon, as he was a very despicable person.

"But..." Klein was still a little hesitant. After all, little Amon looked so pitiful.

Luo Lin glanced at him and said coldly, "Amon originally came here to experience the life of an ordinary person. Being sick is part of ordinary life. Since He has placed little Amon in this ordinary state, it must be so that he can experience everything that an ordinary person has to offer more completely. If we interrupt His experience now, it might be a bad thing."

Klein was stunned for a moment. He instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was. However, he was strangely convinced.

Because what Jack said really makes sense.

"It's just a fever. Don't make it seem like he's dying." Medici, who came in with warm water, almost rolled his eyes. He walked to the bedside and gently patted little Amon's face, saying, "Are you still awake?"

"...Xiaohong's mother?" Little Amon opened his eyes, his eyes slightly confused and a little aggrieved, and said, "I feel so bad."

Medici looked at the strange silence of little Amon for a second before he sneered and said, "Uncomfortable? Of course you're uncomfortable. Eating eight ice creams in one breath, you really are not afraid of death."

"But... the ice cream is delicious." Little Amon said aggrievedly and stubbornly.

"Eat yourself to death." Medici couldn't help but roll his eyes again, then reached out to support little Amon's back, put warm water close to his mouth, and said, "Drink some hot water and get some sleep. Your fever isn't serious, you'll be better tomorrow morning."

"...Oh!" Little Amon did not refute anymore and drank the hot water very obediently.

"Just leave one person to watch over it. Are so many people crowded in one room trying to make their presence felt?" Medici then looked at the other people in the room and said unhappily.

"I'll stay and watch!" Azik, who had been reading the drug instructions nearby, raised his hand.

"Okay, then the rest of you can go out." Medici made the decision immediately.

Faced with the powerful aura of the "male mother", none of the remaining people objected and they all left little Amon's room obediently.

As for Lucifer, I'm sorry, he's not here. He went out for something.
