Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 225 Russell's Youngest Son

Azik obviously sensed something and said with a gentle smile, "Looks like a guest has arrived."

The three of them looked at each other and immediately decided to go downstairs to see what was going on.

By the time the three of them went downstairs, Russell and Bernadette had almost finished their conversation. It was obvious that Russell really cared about Bernadette, from daily food, clothing, housing and transportation to various aspects of the mysticism, with particular emphasis on love.

It can be said that both of them are secret-seeing people who can exchange information efficiently, otherwise ten minutes would definitely not be enough for Russell to talk.

"Wow! Mercury Serpent, Archon of Death, there are many hidden talents in your little house!" After instructing Bernadette, Roselle finally had the energy to pay attention to the few people who had just come down from the second floor. He immediately raised his eyebrows and teased.

At the same time, Russell felt relieved. He was actually quite worried that he had boarded a pirate ship, but now that he saw so many people boarding the pirate ship with him... well, he felt much more relieved.

The eyes of the people coming downstairs also fell on Russell. Some of them had already recognized him, while some obviously had not, but this did not prevent them from greeting Russell and the other man.

Roselle and Bernadette then greeted them with a smile and introduced themselves.

"If you really think this is a pirate ship, you are most welcome to get off at any time." After seeing them finish their greetings, Rowling glanced at Russell and suddenly smiled.

Obviously he saw what Russell was thinking before.

"Don't worry, I don't think this is a pirate ship. Who said it was a pirate ship? This ship is really great." Russell was obviously a shameless adult. He spoke immediately, paused, looked at Luo Lin again, rubbed his hands, and said:

"I was just thinking, this boat is so nice, could my Bernadette ride on one too?"

Previously, Roselle was indeed conflicted about whether to let Bernadette board Lucifer's pirate ship, but now, after seeing the lineup around Lucifer, he was no longer conflicted - almost all the candidates for the future Lord of Mysteries were caught up by Lucifer, the mercury snake symbolizing good luck also surrounded him, and there was also a former Death Officer.

Add to that the Creator camp that cooperates with Lucifer, there is nothing to hesitate about.

Seeing that Russell and Rowling were obviously talking about some serious matter, Azik and the other two simply whispered to Klein, mainly asking about what happened today.

Luo Lin ignored them, glanced at Russell, and suddenly laughed, saying, "So you only care about Bernadette?"

"Huh?" Russell was obviously confused.

"Mr. Russell, have you forgotten that you still have a little son alive in this world? Have you ever thought about doing something for Him?" Rowling said with a smile.

Russell finally reacted, but then there was an endless silence. After several seconds, he sighed and said, "Bonova... I don't know how to face this child. I don't even know if he is still my child."

Unlike the other children in the Roselle family, Bonois is an angel appointed by the God of Steam and Machinery, and is also the "gift" of the God of Steam and Machinery to Roselle - although Roselle himself hates it.

Because of this, Bonois's humanity was so weak, closer to a god than a human, that it caused Russell immense pain. He wondered if the body beneath it was his youngest son or an angel who had devoured his child. "Dad..." Bernadette spoke at this moment. She looked at Russell and said seriously, "Just a few years ago, I met Bonois once. He kept the toys you gave him. I think... he's your younger brother. Although Bonois' humanity is very limited, he's still himself."

Bernadette's words made Russell fall silent again. He sighed again and looked at Rowling and said, "Boss, do you have any ideas?" His eyes were filled with expectation.

The method here naturally refers to the method of making Bonois gain humanity.

Bernadette couldn't help but look at Rowling with anticipation.

"Don't count on me. I'm not omnipotent. If you want Bonois to regain his humanity, you two have to do it." Luo Lin glanced at them and said with a smile:
"You are the closest people to Him in this world, and the only ones who can stir His humanity. Only when you two become His most solid anchor can He become a normal angel. Of course, I can provide you with some small help, such as a mask that can amplify your emotions."

Roselle and Bernadette looked at each other, both of them thoughtful.

"So I still have to contact the Steam Church... Alas, I really don't want to deal with that Steam guy." Russell held his forehead, but his eyes gradually became firm.

Although He is indeed a daughter slave, it does not mean that He does not love his son. So if Bonois can really regain his humanity, Roselle can really hold his nose and contact the Steam Church.

Rowling smiled and took a sip of tea. The reason why he suddenly mentioned Bonova's existence was certainly not simply to allow Russell to have a family reunion, but mainly to get in touch with the Steam Church.

After all, the advancement of the technology tree in the future will require the help of the Steam Church, but the God of Steam and Machinery is too cowardly. It is not easy for Rowling to reach a cooperation with the God of Steam and Machinery like he negotiated with Lilith. There are not enough tempting chips.

In this situation, if Rowling wanted to talk to the God of Steam and Machinery, he naturally needed a middleman.

Russell is undoubtedly the most suitable middleman. Although he once fell out with the God of Steam and Machinery, it is undeniable that the relationship between them is not a simple enemy relationship, but rather a tangled one.

"I always feel like you are up to something?" Russell suddenly looked at Rowling thoughtfully.

"I just want to use you as a medium to talk to the God of Steam and Machinery." Rowling did not hide anything. He took a sip of the black tea and said.

Russell's expression suddenly became a little subtle, but he wasn't surprised. He hesitated for a few seconds before suddenly asking, "What do you want from me?"

"Advance the technology tree." Luo Lin put down his tea, looked at Russell, and said, "I seem to have forgotten to tell you before. I plan to make a revolution to reorganize the order of this world and push up the technology tree of this world. The current level of technology is still too low."

"...But there's no oil in this world." Russell wasn't surprised that Rowling wanted to stir up trouble. He just thought of something, sighed, and said:

"I also thought about pushing this world's technology tree all the way back to our era, but unfortunately, without oil, many technologies can't be directly developed..."
