Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 72 Leonard Joins the Club
Leonard was silent for a moment, probably trying to calm down. Then, suddenly thinking of something, he said, "Old man, you don't seem surprised at all that Lucifer is an angel."

"Isn't it strange that a god's favored one is an angel?" Pales asked.

"It doesn't seem strange at all." Leonard scratched his hair, then looked troubled. "Old man, if the Lord of Chaos and the Goddess are truly allies, then should I join that Fun Club?"

He was originally reluctant to join because of his belief in the Goddess of Night, but now it has been proven that the Goddess of Night may be an ally of the Lord of Chaos, so Leonard no longer has any resistance to joining.

Pales didn't answer immediately, probably thinking. After a few seconds, he said, "This probably isn't a bad thing for you."

So, a few days later, when Rollin, disguised as "Rolin Zoroast," came to improve Pallez's favorability and, by the way, to ask him about some Fourth Era gossip, he heard Leonard say:
"Does your invitation to me to join that fun club still count?"

Wow, is this finally confirmed that the Lord of Chaos and the Goddess of Night are allies?
Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, but he wasn't surprised. He had long guessed that Leonard would change his attitude after the Evernight Goddess's statement, so he just smiled and said, "Of course it counts. So, Leonard, have you finally figured it out?"

"Well, let me make it clear first. Even if I join the Fun Club, I will not betray my goddess." Leonard coughed at first, not knowing whether it was out of embarrassment or guilt, and then said seriously.

"Leonard, I thought you should have confirmed that our Lord and the Goddess of Night are allies." Rowling looked at him with a smile.

"So Lucifer is indeed Lucifer, right?" Leonard immediately grasped the key point and said.

"Senior Lucifer is indeed used to using the name Lucifer when doing good deeds. It seems to have some special meaning to him." Luo Lin did not deny it, but explained slowly.

"Why do you still call Lucifer by that name? Isn't he an angel?" Leonard was a little happy at first because his guess was confirmed, but then he noticed Rowling's address and asked in confusion.

"I don't know the sequence of Senior Lucifer, but Senior Lucifer does prefer to be called him." Luo Lin shook his head and said seriously.

This is the truth. Compared to the divine name "He", Luo Lin really prefers to call himself "He".

"Strange angel." Leonard muttered.

"Angels always have some quirks. For example, as far as I know, an angel from the path of destiny really likes to eat ice cream. Maybe this is a way for them to maintain their humanity!" Rowling said with a smile, following Leonard's words and complaining at the same time.

This is the truth. As we all know, angels in the mysterious world cannot be called angels if they don’t have some quirks.

"Ah?" Leonard obviously didn't expect to hear such a big news, and was stunned for a moment.

Pales glanced at Rowling and said with a smile, "Will does like ice cream. This is probably because he often restarts into a child."

"Old man, there's no need to test me. I'm not familiar with Mr. Will. Even if the organization really has contact with him, it will be done by someone else. Currently, you are the only angel I'm responsible for contacting." Rowling smiled and said, knowing that there was something else behind Pales' words.

Pales, however, understood the underlying meaning behind Rowling's words and said with a grin, "I thought you, having allied yourself with the True Creator, would be hostile to Will." Pales said this because of the existence of the Angel of Destiny, Ouroboros. As everyone knows, only one Sequence 0 can exist on a path, so if Sequence 1s want to ascend to godhood, they can only fight each other. The Angel of Destiny, Ouroboros, and Will happen to be the only two Sequence 1s on the Path of Destiny, and they're constantly at war with each other.

Of course, generally speaking, it was the Angel of Destiny Ouroboros who was chasing Will. After all, the former had the support of the true Creator and was the King of Angels with two Sequence 1 characteristics. Although Will had the uniqueness of the path of destiny, due to luck, he had never been able to accommodate it. As a result, the uniqueness not only did not become a help to Him, but also became a burden to Him. It can be said that he was very miserable.

In other words, the Angel of Destiny Ouroboros is not very smart, and the real Creator became even crazier after being defeated in the Fourth Age. Otherwise, Will might have been caught and fed to the snake long ago.

Luo Lin naturally understood what Pales meant. He glanced at Pales and said with a smile, "My Lord and the True Creator are indeed allies, but that doesn't mean My Lord is hostile to Mr. Will. In fact, My Lord welcomes anyone to ally with Him."

"...Because chaos is more in line with your needs, right?" Pales obviously had misunderstood something, or had been thinking about it for a long time.

Luo Lin didn't correct him, but simply said, "With competition, the world will be more lively."

"I just hope it won't get too busy." Pales shook his head. He could already foresee the chaotic scene that would follow, but...

Never mind, it may not be a bad thing.

Pales then smiled at Leonard, who was already confused, and reminded him, "Leonard, don't forget that you want to join the Fun Club."

Leonard then remembered the important matter and immediately looked at Luo Lin and asked, "Is there any ceremony or anything like that for joining the Fun Club?"

"We don't engage in this kind of formalism." Rowling smiled and shook his head, took out a badge from his pocket and handed it to Leonard, and introduced him to its usage.

"So amazing..." Leonard looked at the strange badge in his hand curiously. He looked at the words in the middle of the badge that he had never seen before, but for some reason he could understand their meaning. He couldn't help but ask, "What language is this word in? I don't think I've ever seen it before."

"These are the words of my Lord." Luo Lin did not explain too much, but just smiled.

Pales also looked at the words in the center of the badge, perhaps contemplating something. However, he ultimately did not express any opinion based on the words. He simply glanced at the badge and said, "I see some familiar techniques on the badge. It reminds me of an old friend."

"This batch of badges was indeed made by Mr. Bethel. Even I just received them not long ago. The previous badges were not so magical." Rowling did not deny it and nodded with a smile. He naturally knew that this was a flaw. After all, Pales should be able to guess that Bethel had just reached a cooperation with the Lord of Chaos not long ago.

But so what? The special badge is newly made, which does not mean that the Fun Club has just been established, it may just be that the way people held parties was different before.

Even if Pales guessed that the Fun Club was a newly established organization, what did it matter? The attitude of the Goddess of Night was real, Mr. Men's cooperation was real, and the alliance with the True Creator was real. In the face of these facts, nothing else mattered.

　I received a notice from the editor that the game will be put on the shelves tomorrow, that is, on the 25th, so the update time tomorrow will be adjusted to after 12 noon, because V will not be released until 12 noon.
