Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 272 Xiaohong, do you trust me completely?
"...In other words, after just one meeting with Dark Night, He decided to have the Church of Dark Night fully support your reforms, and also decided to help Azik suppress the possible resurgence of Salinger within his body?"

In the Spiritual Cult's headquarters, Medici, who was originally handling affairs, suddenly became strange in expression after listening to Rowling's brief description of his gains tonight.

"Yeah." Luo Lin nodded with a smile, looked at Medici meaningfully and said, "After all, the Goddess of Night is a smart person!"

The smarter a person is, the less likely he is to go against the trend. Similarly, the smarter a person is, the more he understands the importance of appeasing Luo Lin.

If it were a grumpy old pigeon, he might just drag the world down with him.

"Tsk!" Medici tsk-tsk'd, guessing what was going on. He then seemed to think of something else, and after looking at Luo Lin with a complicated expression, he said, "Working for you is really endless!"

"It's not my fault that I'm too capable!" Luo Lin spread his hands and said confidently. Then he smiled and looked at Medici and said, "Besides, it's better to have allies than enemies all over the world!"

"Tsk, it's not like we haven't fought before." Medici said this, feeling quite complicated in his heart.

In a sense, Rowling is really a very capable boss. He said he wanted to make changes, and although he threw all the things to Medici, it was he who summoned the Sun God, and he also personally recruited many allies including the Mother Earth. The successful recovery of the Spirit Cult was inseparable from Rowling.

It can be said that having a Rowling has solved at least half of the trouble in bringing about reform in this world.

But the price is that Medici, the worker, is too busy to follow Rowling. He has to deal with those idiots of the vampire clan on the one hand, and reform the members of the Spirit Cult on the other. As a result, the reform of the Spirit Cult has just begun, and someone from the Church of Night has come again.

"I will die suddenly at my workstation sooner or later!" Medici said this with gritted teeth. He was not so busy even when he was a Red Angel.

"Those who are capable should work harder. If the reform is successful, you can also be promoted to Red Priest smoothly!" Luo Lin quickly comforted his tool A who was about to explode. Then he thought of something and said:
"Besides, the Church of Evernight has Arianna as the leader. All you have to do is contact her and let her do the work. With the Goddess of Evernight around, they won't disobey. Or rather...if they don't obey, it won't matter whether you're in charge or not."

Hearing this, Medici glanced at Luo Lin, then sneered as if he had thought of something, and said, "It seems that you don't believe in the night."

"How refreshing! I don't believe in the Sun God either!" Luo Lin spread his hands and said frankly, "I like them very much because they are both very good people. But precisely because they are both very good people, we are destined not to completely trust each other."

Having said that, Luo Lin paused, glanced at Medici, and said with a smile: "Xiaohong, do you completely trust me?"

Medici looked at him, his ruby-like eyes seemed a little sharp at this moment. He then sneered and said:
"As a mature person, I wouldn't tear off this fig leaf so openly, little monster, you really haven't learned this very well."

"I just don't quite understand why humans would deceive and guard against each other, yet at the same time be afraid to face it frankly... Ah, actually, it's not completely incomprehensible. At least I can understand the embarrassment."

Luo Lin smiled. He pulled out an apple from somewhere and began to peel it swiftly. His movements were so fast that he had peeled a complete apple in no time. Then Luo Lin looked up at Medici and asked, "So, do you believe me, Xiaohong?"

"...If you really feel embarrassed, you shouldn't keep asking this question." Medici glanced at Rowling, then naturally extended his hand to him.

"What?" Luo Lin looked at him puzzledly.

"What do you think?" Medici glanced at the apple in his hand. "Can't you peel it yourself?" Luo Lin was puzzled.

"Need I remind you that you took your apple from the fruit bowl next to my table?" Medici looked at him and said.

"Okay, okay!" Rowling curled his lips, neatly cut the apple in his hand into two with a knife, threw the other half to Medici, and then took a bite of the remaining half of the apple.

Medici took the half of the apple and ate it with a "crunch, crunch" sound. After finishing it, the Red Angel threw the apple core into the trash can and said:

"I believe that unless someone forces you into a desperate situation, you will not destroy the world again."

Luo Lin glanced at him and smiled. He also threw the apple core into the trash can, wiped his hands with a tissue, and stood up. "Okay, I'm going to tell Azik the good news. See you later!"

……

When Rowling found Azik, he was compiling a new "Holy Codex", which was an important part of the subsequent reshaping of the image of the artificial god of death.

"...So the Goddess of Night will help me suppress my father's resurgence in my body?" Azik's expression was full of surprise. He obviously had no idea that Lucifer had only met with the Goddess of Night once and had such a gain.

"That's good news, isn't it?" Luo Lin smiled like a Lucifer. Then he looked at Azik and asked, "So, what are your plans for uniqueness?"

Azik fell silent. He obviously had not considered this issue. After all, before today, in Azik's cognition, accommodating uniqueness was tantamount to seeking death.

But now things have clearly changed.

So what should he do? Should he continue to be a fragile but safe Archon of Death, or should he embrace uniqueness and strive for the supreme position...

Azik originally thought that this would be a difficult choice for him, but when the choice was placed before him, he found that he had already had an idea in mind.

Azik closed his eyes, and scenes from when he was the Archon of Death flashed through his mind. At that time, the Archon of Death had more than once doubted the authenticity of the gossip stories about Ye Huang and others. He wondered why they could have family, friendship and love even though they were all mythical creatures.

The former Archons of Death thought that it was because they were powerful enough to possess these.

Now Azik has all the emotions he once longed for, but he also understands a truth - in this cruel world, if he does not have strong enough strength, even if he has these emotions, he will lose them.

Just as his soul was torn apart by the god of death, he had to fall into reincarnation, gaining and losing again and again.
