Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 233 Augustus's Sliding Speed
Does Luo Lin love this world? Of course not.

Although Rowling has adjusted his mentality since being enlightened by Medici last time, and faces his friends with more real emotions instead of treating them as paper figures he likes, this still does not mean that Rowling will love this world.

He is not that philanthropic. Even before traveling through time, Luo Lin did not love his hometown much, let alone this world where he has only been in for less than four months.

"...In this respect, I'm no different from you." Medici glanced at Roland, then suddenly laughed at himself. "I don't love those mortals, at least not one of them. If it weren't for my need for a war, I wouldn't even be involved in what you're doing now..."

Luo Lin looked at him quietly and said, "But you do love this world and humanity."

"... Ridiculous, isn't it!" Medici didn't deny it this time. He just curled his lips and said, "Perhaps it's because of the influence of the Sun God, or maybe it's because they were once a race I personally saved... I don't care about any of them, but I really can't bear to watch them perish."

"It's not funny, it's just a very normal situation!" Luo Lin smiled, revealing a reminiscent expression, his eyes rarely filled with reminiscence, and said:

"I've met many, many people. Some of them really aren't good people, but villains, liars, scum who deserve to be locked up forever. But before the end of the world, before the extinction of their race, they still chose to stand up and sacrifice themselves one after another. If it weren't for them, I might not have made up my mind... Haha!"

Luo Lin smiled and did not continue. He then looked at Medici, raised his hand and tapped Medici's heart, and said with a smile:
"Medici, you are already a human being!"

"Although you don't have a human body, you do have a mortal heart. That's good, really good."

Medici looked at him and did not deny his words. He just sneered and asked, "What about you, little monster? Do you have a mortal heart?"

"...I wish I had." Luo Lin smiled and said, "So I'm learning, learning what true human nature is like, learning how to be a human being."

Medici stared at him for a long time, then suddenly curled his lips and said, "How dare you call Amon inhumane?"

"To be honest, although I may still have a lot to learn and consolidate about human nature, compared to Amon, I am still much better than Him in this regard!" As soon as these words came out, Rowling was unhappy and directly refuted.

"I hope so." Medici glanced at him. There was not a single sarcastic word, but it seemed as if every letter was sarcastic.

……

Just as the two people in the alien space were about to quarrel, in the real world, the battle between the War Angel and William I had already ended.

"Now you believe that I am a real war angel?" The war angel tidied up his hair which was a little messy due to the previous battle, and felt refreshed.

It turns out that beating someone up when you're unhappy really does help to soothe your mood - by War Angel.

"...Mr. Medici, I have never doubted your identity." William I, who was beaten black and blue, was in a bad mood. He really had a lot of grievances in his heart that he couldn't say. He didn't understand why Medici was so violent and would start fighting without any hesitation. Was it the sequelae of his death and resurrection?

William I murmured in his heart that although the war angels in his impression were belligerent, they would not hit people for a single disagreement!

The key point was that he was just an ordinary Sequence 1 Arbitrator Path, and he truly couldn't defeat the Angel King, who possessed the unique War Path. William I naturally didn't know that he had simply stumbled upon the weapon by accident, and under different circumstances, he wouldn't have been beaten.

And... William I glanced around and confirmed that no one came to investigate the situation. Not to mention people from the church, even people from his own Augustus were not there. A hint of confusion and vigilance flashed through his heart.

The fight they just made was quite noisy. William I did not help to cover up the noise because he was worried that Medici was here to discuss cooperation but was actually here to kill people. Logically, people from the three major churches should have come over when they were halfway through the fight.

But now no one has come, as if no one has noticed what is happening here.

"Don't look at it. This space has been blocked for a long time. No movement can be transmitted out." The war angel could tell what William I was thinking. He sneered and said.

William I's heart sank, and at the same time he couldn't stop wondering - the one who could seal the space without him noticing must be an angel from another world, not an ordinary angel.

But the door path... Isn't Mr. Men the only one at Sequence 1?

William I knew very well that this person had unfortunately been contaminated by the Outer Gods as early as the Fourth Age, and was now sealed in some alien space. How could he possibly seal off this space?

"Heh!" The war angel glanced at William I and guessed what he was wondering about. He sneered at it and did not explain anything.

The War Angel naturally would not tell William I that there was a magical guy who could summon projections of people from the past. Before summoning me to negotiate with you, he had already summoned Mr. Men to block the space.

With Mr. Men's strength, if he personally blocked the space, not to mention the Hand of Order, even the True God might not be able to discover it.

"Tsk..." Thinking of this, the War Angel couldn't help but think of the guy standing next to him in the future, smiling like a fox.

What will he be thinking in the future? Isn't he afraid of being sold out again by hanging out with such a guy?
The War Angel felt a little irritated when he thought of this. He then looked at William I and said impatiently, "I don't have time to play dumb with you. You should have guessed my intentions."

"...Augustus has always been willing to cooperate with the Aurora Society, but this matter is of great importance, so he spent some more time considering it..." William I instinctively smiled at Medici, but because he pulled the wound, the smile looked a little hideous.

……

It turns out that in a world where fists mean power, it is really easy for those with bigger fists to negotiate.

At least William I slid to his knees very quickly when facing the sandbag-sized fist of the War Angel.

Of course, it is not entirely true to say that he slid to his knees. After all, William I was at least a Sequence One, and he had the ambition and courage to launch Sequence Zero. Even if he wanted to, he could give up launching the Black Emperor now and turn to the three major churches of Night, Storm, and Steam at the speed of light, and once again become close "allies" of the three gods.

With such confidence, William I's kneeling was only reflected in minor issues. For example, he agreed to resources and colonies, which were important to Augustus but not so important. However, he refused to give in on issues of principle, such as the birth of the Black Emperor, alliance rather than dependence, and religious divisions.
