Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 99 Let me have a tea party with you

"Of course, everything else may be fake, but my desire to win over Bethel is real." Rowling nodded, his expression quite serious.

"Tsk!" Medici made a "tsk" sound and said nothing more. He and Bethel were not very familiar with each other, but they had never been hostile to each other. After all, Bethel followed Tudor almost after Medici's death.

By the time Medici became active again in this world today, Bethel had long been contaminated by the Outer Gods and had been imprisoned in the Warp for an unknown period of time.

From this point of view, it is hard to say which of them is more unlucky.

However, Medici had a good idea of Bethel's character. At least compared to Amon, he supported him more in becoming the Lord of Mysteries.

Luo Lin briefly explained to Medici how to use the badge, then thought of something and said, "By the way, while you're working for me, do you want me to provide you with food and lodging, or do you want to continue living with the Real Creator?"

Medici glanced at Luo Lin after hearing this. He suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and said with a somewhat wanton smile, "I think as a boss, providing food and accommodation for employees is the most basic treatment."

Rowling was not surprised to hear this. He naturally knew that Medici wanted to stay by his side and observe him so as to obtain more information about him.

Rowling didn't care. After all, there was already an Adam lurking beside him, and he couldn't even rule out the possibility that some Amons were lurking in the air. One more Red Angel was really nothing.

On the contrary, having a red angel who is hostile to Adam beside him is more conducive to balance for Rowling.

This is also the reason why Rowling deliberately asked this question.

"But let's be honest. This way, I'll have God (Adam), Mystery (Klein), and the Disaster Hunter all by my side. With a Witch, I can also synthesize the Prime Creator."

Luo Lin complained in his heart, then thought seriously: "But then again, shouldn't I move to a bigger house? After all, I have some Pokémon attributes, and I will definitely ask others to work for me in the future. A small house is not enough to live in!"

Although being in the same organization does not mean living together, there must be a headquarters where members can rest and stay.

"Well, but there's no rush. The house we have now is enough for us to live in. When there are more people in the future, we can look for a good place..." Luo Lin thought as he looked at Medici and said:
"If you want to live with me, you'll need a disguise first, and you'll need to understand the vests I usually use."

This was a test, and Rowling was also very curious about how much information Adam had shared with the real creator.

"You mean the alias you're using to pretend to be an idiot?" Medici clearly understood. "I really don't understand your bad taste. You're just like Amon."

"It seems Adam has indeed shared a lot of information with you." Luo Lin smiled, then looked at Medici seriously and said, "Then remember the settings of my vest. Don't let me be exposed, otherwise..."

Luo Lin paused here, then smiled and said, "There's no need to wait for the Primordial Witch to synthesize the Mini Prime Creator. I can invite the real Prime Creator over and have a tea party with you."

"Perhaps you are looking forward to this?"

Medici's pupils shrank. He instinctively tried to discern whether the man before him was telling the truth or lying. However, he could only come up with one conclusion—it seemed the man could actually summon the Prime Creator, and didn't mind doing so. "You're a lunatic!" Medici practically uttered through gritted teeth.

"Thank you for the compliment," Luo Lin said with a smile, then as if remembering something, he added, "Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Adam made a deal with me. He hopes to allow the Ancient Sun God to personally see this world, understand its full picture, and then make a choice."

"What choice?" Medici was obviously confused.

Luo Lin had no intention of explaining, but simply said, "That's not important. Let's talk about your new character, Mr. Red Angel."

……

Although he was reluctant to leave his family and friends in Tingen, Klein didn't stay there for too long. After the Nighthawks agreed to his three-year leave and he successfully used the potions he exchanged for his merits to be promoted to a magician, Klein settled Benson and Melissa and boarded the steam train to Backlund in his new vest.

"Sherlock Moriarty, a detective from Jianhai County..." Klein sat in the seat of the steam train, familiarizing himself with his new identity in his mind.

In order not to implicate his family, Klein naturally couldn't go to Backlund with his real identity. So, with Jack's advice and help, Klein successfully obtained his new identity. Now his full name is Sherlock Moriarty, and he is a detective who went to Backlund to try his luck.

The reason for choosing this identity was, of course, because detectives were well-suited to dealing with all kinds of people. It made sense to appear in any situation, making it easier for Klein to develop his network and search for clues about the fortune teller's path.

"Sherlock, this is so boring, how about I tell you a joke?"

A familiar voice sounded nearby. Klein glanced at his seatmate and, unsurprisingly, saw Rowling, whose face was filled with boredom.

If you ask why Rowling is here, it's because his Jack vest has successfully resigned, so he simply goes to Backlund with Klein.

Klein recalled those cold, homophonic jokes Rowling had told him and shuddered. He quickly said, "Forget the jokes. We're almost to Backlund anyway. Jack, why don't you tell me more about Xiaohong?"

The full name of the so-called "Little Red" was unknown. Klein only knew that three days ago, Jack suddenly told him that after knowing that he was planning to go to Backlund, his teacher Lucifer gave him a friend. It was said that the friend was currently staying at his house in Backlund. So, if nothing unexpected happened, they would be sharing the apartment with Little Red for a while.

"But my house is pretty big, so having one more person won't be a big deal. He can live on the second floor and we can live on the third!" Jack himself didn't care much about it. He just complained, "But the old guy actually has friends? I thought with his personality, he only had enemies!"

Klein naturally wouldn't agree with Jack's ridicule of Mr. Lucifer, but deep down he actually somewhat agreed with this point of view.

After all, given Mr. Lucifer's personality, it's really hard to imagine that he has friends.

And... could an angel's friend be an ordinary person?
As Klein recalled this, he couldn't help but feel more curious about the "Little Red" he was about to meet, and he felt a little nervous.
