Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 292 Russell is a bit bored

Russell was a bit bored.

Since joining Rowling, he has undergone several treatments as an employee and experimental subject No. 2. Although each treatment was so painful that made Russell want to curse, it must be said that the effect was still good. At least now Russell has upgraded from being in the state of being on the account with a polluted personality for hours a day to being able to log in for at least a period of time every day.

Although the time he was awake was not long each time, Russell was still quite satisfied. This at least meant that Rowling's treatment was effective and it was worth it for him to be a guinea pig.

The only problem was that after waking up several times, Russell discovered that there was indeed a huge omission when he built the mausoleum. This did not mean that he placed the crystal on an island polluted by the Mother Goddess. After all, this was no longer an omission. It was simply that he was not in a clear mind at the time and was deceived by the Mother Goddess.

Does anyone really think that it was a coincidence that He built His mausoleum on this desolate island? No way!
Russell was sure that He chose to do this because He was affected by the pollution. Otherwise, He would never choose such a weird place to build a resurrection point even if He was beaten to death.

The main omission that Russell discovered was that he found that there was nothing else in the mausoleum except him, which made him really bored during his waking hours.

After all, Russell is actually a person who can't sit still. He really feels that the days are long if he has nothing to do.

“Even if there’s a book to read, this is too boring!” Russell sat on his golden throne, supporting his chin with one hand, with a slightly tired expression. He yawned, thinking about how to entertain himself. Suddenly, he sensed something and looked towards the stone gate leading to the outside world from the mausoleum.

"Rumble--"

With the sound of the mechanism being activated, the stone door opened. Russell's brows jumped, and as expected, he saw two figures appear at the door.

One of them was someone Russell was very familiar with. He was the unscrupulous capitalist boss Lucifer who should be hung on the street lamp.

He also had some impression of the other person. It was the little Amon he had seen at Lucifer's house last time. However, compared to the last time they met, this Amon seemed to have grown a little bigger and looked to be the size of an adult.

Why are these two guys here?

Russell was a little confused, but he was not surprised that Lucifer could find him. After all, the other party had established contact with him a long time ago, so it was not surprising that he could locate his location.

Russell was just curious about why Lucifer, who always treated people remotely and was summoned by Him when in doubt, would come in person.

Could something have happened?
Or something happened?
Russell's heart tightened, and his thoughts instinctively went in a bad direction. This was not his fault. It was really that Russell had been plagued by bad luck since he went to the moon. He hadn't encountered many good things in all these years.

But then Russell felt relieved because he found that the expressions of the two people opposite him were relatively relaxed, and it didn't look like anything bad had happened.

"...Should I say it's our first meeting or long time no see?" Although he couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, after thinking for half a second, Russell took the initiative to greet him, then spread his hands and said:

"As the host, I should pour you a cup of tea, but I don't have any tea, not even a cup. Please understand!" "It's okay, I brought cups." Luo Lin replied with a smile, and then he waved his hand, and an exquisite and mysterious table appeared in front of him. There were three cups of hot, brewed black tea on the table - there was no doubt that these were taken out from the alien space.

"Wow!" Russell raised an eyebrow, immediately amazed. "You're the best at showing off. That's a beautiful trick up your sleeve! I've always wanted to create a space-related item for fun, but unfortunately, there are so few apprentices. Sequence 5s are rare, let alone demigods. I can't even find anyone to study the corresponding properties."

Although craftsmen do not necessarily need extraordinary properties to create extraordinary items, and can use spiritual materials to create extraordinary items with a shelf life, they cannot create corresponding items out of thin air without knowing anything about a certain ability. At least they need to have a certain degree of understanding and the corresponding spiritual materials.

While it's not true that demigods on the apprentice path have disappeared, it's certainly true that they're practically impossible to find. So even though Russell was very interested in space-related props, he didn't create many due to his lack of understanding of these abilities and the corresponding features.

"This is the alien space I commissioned Mr. Men to create for me. If you are interested, you can communicate with him later." Luo Lin said this, sat down on the small stool in front of the table, picked up the black tea and took a sip.

Seeing this, Russell sat down on the small stool, picked up the black tea and drank it in one gulp. Then he said, "Actually, I also asked Mr. Men for advice on this matter back then, but as you know, I was dealing with the Contaminated Personality at that time, and he refused to teach me anything about it. Now... Sigh!"

Russell shook his head and said with a hint of melancholy, "I'm no longer a craftsman. It's useless to learn it."

Although he was once a craftsman, after his death, the craftsman's characteristics in Russell's body have returned to the spiritual world. Now he is considered a legitimate Black Emperor, waiting to be resurrected.

"If you like, you can do it again. I have no objection." Luo Lin put down his teacup and looked at him with a smile. "I actually quite agree. To me, a craftsman is much more useful than the Black Emperor."

"Uh... forget it. The Artisan Path doesn't allow you to refresh features with just one click." Russell smiled awkwardly before looking at him and asking, "Xiaolu, you didn't come here just to have tea with me, did you? What happened?"

Hearing this, Luo Lin smiled, took a sip of his tea, and said slowly, "Roselle, do you want to leave here and move freely?"

Hearing this, Russell instantly realized something. His expression grew serious. He looked at Luo Lin and said, "Boss, have you been able to completely remove the contamination of the Outer Gods?"

"Strictly speaking, I can always completely remove the pollution from the outer gods, but you can't bear that method." Rowling looked up at Russell and corrected him with a smile.

Naa's power can indeed completely remove the pollution from the outer gods, but the consequence of doing so is that the person being treated will become an idiot or explode because he cannot bear it.

What Rowling has been seeking for so long has never been a way to "completely remove pollution", but a way to "completely remove pollution without hurting the souls of the polluted."

When Russell heard this, his expression twisted. Recalling his previous treatment experience, his body couldn't help but tremble. This was not fear, but a purely habitual physiological reaction.
