Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 211 Visiting Lilith

Chapter 211: Visiting Lilith (Chapter Title Wrong)
"So what kind of book is this?" Will, the only outsider, asked in confusion.

"Hmm, a book about social formations?" Rowling smiled and looked at Will. "If you're interested, you can take a look at it later. It's a very interesting book."

……

Although he was addicted to reading Capital X, life had to go on, so besides reading, Klein continued to live his detective life as usual, taking on commissions to make money.

Just like that, Klein received a commission to find someone from his detective friend.

"Is Emlyn White still alive..." Klein sat on the sofa, flipping through the information sent to him by his detective friend. He took out a gold coin from his pocket and tossed it upwards.

The coin landed heads up, indicating the answer was yes. Emlyn White was indeed still alive, but no one knew where he was.

"Emlyn White?"

Just as Klein was wondering if he could find Emlyn White's whereabouts, Rowling, wearing Jack's vest, sat down next to him with a cup of coffee. He casually glanced at the information in Klein's hand. After seeing the name and photo on it, he smiled and said, "Are you looking for him?"

"Do you know him?" Klein suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten that Jack was a native of Backlund with extensive connections.

"I know him, but he doesn't know me." Rowling shook his head, then nodded and smiled. "Emlyn White is a vampire, very famous in their circle. He's a nerd obsessed with dolls, and once lost everything to it. As far as I know, he's not a bad person. At most, he goes to the hospital to steal blood bottles and drink them."

Upon hearing this, Klein nodded with a strange expression and said, "I see. Then it might indeed be quite famous."

In this era, being obsessed with dolls is still a relatively niche hobby. It is normal for a vampire to be obsessed with it and even spend all his money on it and become famous.

"What's wrong with him?" Luo Lin asked knowingly.

"He's been missing for a while." Klein then briefly recounted the story of Emlyn White's parents commissioning a detective to find him.

"Missing..." Rowling pinched his chin, pretending to think. After a few seconds, he said, "Given Emlyn White's personality, he's unlikely to cause any trouble. And you divined that he's not dead, which means he's most likely imprisoned... So, could Emlyn White have been captured by an official Beyonder?"

"That's possible." Klein also thought of this, his expression showing a hint of helplessness and sympathy.

After all, in this era, it is not a good thing for wild extraordinary people to fall into the hands of the authorities. Even if they have not committed any crime, they may be used as experimental subjects to test the effects of various seals.

There's no way around it. The very existence of wild Beyonders is a bombshell. Even if they're not committing crimes, there's no telling when they might explode. Under such circumstances, the authorities' attitude is inevitably harsher. "Don't be too pessimistic. If Emlyn White falls into the hands of the Church of Night, Steam, or Storm, he's doomed. But Backlund has more than just these three major churches. If I remember correctly, Backlund also has a small church belonging to the Church of Mother Earth. If Emlyn White is captured by them, it might be a good thing for him," Rowling said, pinching his chin.

"Why?" Klein was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding why Rowling said that.

"Because the Church of Mother Earth has always had a tradition of keeping vampires captive and recruiting them into the church." Rowling explained briefly, then said with a smile, "If we want to know if the answer is this, let's go to the Harvest Church and find out." His expression was eager to try.

He had long thought of visiting Lilith. After all, she was a nanny, and her skills were exactly what Rowling lacked.

and……

"It's such a waste to have the extraordinary people of the two paths, the farmer and the pharmacist, fighting each other. One is clearly a chosen agricultural person, and the other can promote the progress of medical care." Luo Lin couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

If he had to choose the path among many for personal reasons, it would definitely be the door path. However, if it was for the sake of change and social development, Rowling would definitely choose the earth and moon paths without hesitation.

After all, food is the most important thing for people. If the extraordinary people in the Earth Path can research various crops with extremely high yields and solve the world's famine problem, it will truly benefit countless people.

Don't think this is impossible. In Frank's original work, he was able to research mushrooms that could grow in the dark, solving Silver City's food problem. This is enough to prove that this world's extraordinary abilities can indeed be used to improve crops.

The Moon Path is a typical wet nurse path. Even Emlyn White can use potions to alleviate Mrs. Doris's condition. If everyone works together and gathers the power of an entire path, who says we can't research potions to cure various terminal illnesses?

If medical treatment progresses rapidly, it will definitely be a great thing for mankind. Perhaps we can even research various genetic drugs and point out the path for biological ascension!
"After all, there is no oil in this world. The middle part of the normal technology tree is broken. I have to try to find other ways." Luo Lin thought so, and then thought of the Roselle Memorial Exhibition in a few days, and the God of Steam and Machinery.

"Of course, we can give the Extraordinary Technology route a try. Although Extraordinary properties are limited, Extraordinary items don't necessarily need to have special properties to be made. Ordinary spiritual materials can also be used. The shelf life is limited, but what's the problem? The only problem is how to mass-produce them..."

Rowling thought for a few seconds and felt that it would be better to leave these issues to professionals, such as a Mr. Russell.

"Of course, if scientific research is to progress, a little luck is also necessary." Rowling suddenly thought of something, glanced at Will who was teaching little Amon words not far away, and curled the corners of his mouth.

To be honest, Luo Lin has always felt that there is a huge waste of the use of extraordinary abilities in this world. Basically, everyone is fighting and killing. Even the path of common people, which is supposed to be based on some technology, seems to have the ultimate fate of fighting and killing.

But in reality, generalists can advance the technology tree, secret peeks are chosen educators, farmers are the kings of agriculture, pharmacists can promote medical progress, apprentices can solve transportation problems, and the good luck brought by monsters is clearly a scientific research tool... Even storm pigeons can act as weather regulators to solve some climate disasters.

"Now everyone's just fighting and killing each other. What a waste! I can't stand it!" Luo Lin sighed and muttered, "That's why the world needs change!"
