Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 296: Finally Meeting Bonova

Russell then thought of something else, looked at Rowling and asked, "Then I can go see Bernadette now, right?" His expression was full of undisguised anticipation.

Although he had the memory of his past self reuniting with Bernadette in the present era, memories were just memories after all, and Roselle naturally still hoped to see his daughter in person.

"You are free to do this," Luo Lin said, waving his hand and returning the things he had taken out to the alien space. He then looked at Russell and said, "You can go see your daughter, but before that, I hope you haven't forgotten one thing."

"What's the matter?" Russell was a little confused.

"Perhaps you still remember that you promised me that you would help me connect with the God of Steam and Machinery?" Luo Lin didn't keep him in suspense and said with a smile, "And you need to talk to Him too, don't you?"

Russell's expression froze, then he thought of something, sighed, and said, "I haven't forgotten about this. I do need to talk to Steam."

He needed to talk to the God of Steam about Bonova, and about their past.

Seeing this, Amon on the side raised his hand to push the monocle on his face, then looked at Russell with interest.

Roselle is completely different from the Moretti family. He is a real bad guy, and there is a world of difference between him and the good people of the Moretti family.

But such a person also chose to seal himself for the sake of this world, and also attached great importance to his family.

While it was interesting to Amon, he also understood why Rowling called it another kind of human nature.

Because this is indeed another kind of human nature, the nature of "bad people".

Although this class was not as intense as the one at the Moretti family, it clearly had its merits, which made Amon a little curious.

"Let's set off now?" Rowling looked at Russell with a smile.

"Okay, let's go now. I haven't seen Bonois for a long time, and I don't know how the kid is doing now."

Russell couldn't help but sigh when he said this. He had always felt a little guilty towards his youngest son, because Russell knew very well that if it weren't for him, Bonova would not be "valued" by Steam, and would not have become the angel he is today.

Perhaps other people would think that being an angel is a good thing, but Russell never thought that being a special angel like Bonois, who almost lacks humanity, is a good thing. What is the difference between such an existence and having one's personality erased?

Russell supports his youngest son to become an angel, but the prerequisite is that he must be a normal angel, an angel with enough humanity.

The two of them had made a decision, and Amon, who was just there to join in the fun, naturally wouldn't object. Soon the three of them arrived outside a cathedral belonging to the god of steam and machinery.

Thanks to Russell's positioning of his own bloodline descendants, they were able to pinpoint Bonova's location right here.

Russell looked at the nearby church, taking in its familiar atmosphere, yet he hesitated for a moment. He instinctively looked at Luo Lin beside him and asked, "Boss, what should we do next?" "Of course, we'll wait for your son to come out and find you. You haven't hidden your presence, so he'll be able to sense it anyway." Luo Lin glanced at Russell and smiled, "Are you nervous?"

"After all, I haven't seen him for a long time, and Bonois... has always been special to me." Russell didn't hide it. He sighed and said, "Back then, I often didn't know how to face Him. Alas, children are debts!"

"But you still enjoy it." Luo Lin looked at Russell and commented, as if sighing, "How interesting, is this blood relationship? You are like this, and so is the Sun God. You both give your only selfish love to your children. The only difference is that you are a rotten person who loves no one except your children, while the Sun God loves all people in the world."

"How should I put it? Children are very special. When you have your own children in the future, maybe you will understand..."

Russell reached out and scratched his head. At this moment, he looked like an ordinary father, his expression growing even more tender as he recalled the past. He said, "I once treated this world as a game, and everyone around me as NPCs. I often felt it was unreal. It wasn't until Bernadette came into the world that I truly felt alive."

"It does sound very special, but are you sure it's not because you're so bad? Xiao Ke doesn't have this sense of unreality." Luo Lin said seriously.

"Uh... But from another perspective, the fact that a rotten person like me can feel a sense of reality just shows how important children are, doesn't it?" Russell said after thinking for a second.

"This is a novel angle." Rowling nodded thoughtfully.

"Xiaolu, excuse me for asking, do you... have any family?" Russell asked after hesitating for a second. It was obvious that he was a little nervous when he asked this question. There was no other reason, he just felt that the question was too exciting.

"If you're talking about family in a broad sense, of course I do. I wasn't born this big, although..." Rowling glanced at Russell and said, "But if you're referring to blood relatives, I don't have that kind of thing."

Rowling does not think that the real Nyarlathotep and other incarnations of Nyarlathotep can be considered his blood relatives.

"Uh, sorry..." Russell said with a wry smile, but he wasn't too surprised in his heart.

After all, in his heart, Luo Lin is a being similar to the Lord of Heaven or God, and such a being certainly does not have any blood relatives.

At this moment, a figure walked out of the cathedral. He was a tall young man with long chestnut hair and a handsome face. One could see that his eyebrows and eyes bore some resemblance to Russell.

The young man's azure eyes looked precisely in the direction where Russell was sitting. After seeing the familiar figure, his steps paused. At this moment, the young man's expression was filled with a confusion that was hard to misinterpret.

There was no doubt that the young man was Bonois Gustav, Roselle's youngest son and one of the few angels in the Steam Church.

Not long ago, Bonova, who was quietly doing his daily prayers in the room, sensed a familiar breath appearing nearby. He did not immediately think of his old father's resurrection, but wondered if it was someone else in disguise - after all, although it is not easy to disguise something like breath, there are always ways to do it.

So after thinking for a few seconds, Bonova decided to come out and meet the imposter to see what the other party was trying to do.

However, the figure he saw before him was obviously beyond Bonois's expectations, causing his brain to stop thinking for a moment, and he wondered if he was hallucinating.
