Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 368 Luo Lin: It's fun to be a little mischievous.

Hearing Rowling's words, Medici's expression softened a bit, then he clicked his tongue and said, "So you've been slacking off all along, haven't you?"

"Otherwise what?" Rowling looked at Medici with a puzzled expression and asked matter-of-factly, "I've already done my job. I can't possibly negotiate with the gods and handle all this trivial work again!"

Luo Lin shrugged, then chuckled and said, "Of course, I'm only able to slack off thanks to everyone's hard work, especially you, Xiao Hong. You're my vice-ruler of heaven. What would I do without you!"

He spoke with such sincerity that Medici rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Alright, stop being so disgusting! I know you've been working hard, but remember to hire twenty assistants for me later. If you're short one, you can do the work yourself, or I'm quitting!"

"Good heavens, you're eating your assistant's food?" Rowling exclaimed in surprise.

Medici glanced at him and said with a sneer, "What kind of workload do you think I have?"

Rowling's mind raced through the series of tasks Medici had recently handled, and he immediately fell silent, nodding obediently to indicate that there was no problem.

Then, as if remembering something, Rowling looked at Sasriel, who looked visibly tired, and, unusually feeling a pang of conscience, asked, "Sasriel, how about I give you 20 assistants too?"

Sasriel paused for a moment, thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay, with someone to help me, I'll be more efficient at handling my work."

Hearing this, Rolin was also taken aback. He looked at Sasriel, then at Medici, and under the latter's "what are you trying to do now?" look, he sighed and shook his head.

Nothing was said, yet it seemed like everything was said.

Medici: ...

Sasliel: ...

Sasriel's smile grew increasingly helpless, yet also tinged with tolerance, showcasing the charm of a male mother.

Medici sneered, snapped his fingers, and the colors around him changed, clearly indicating that he was preparing to leave.

"Don't go, Xiao Hong, I was just kidding!"

But before the Red Angel could disappear, a certain unscrupulous boss swiftly grabbed him. Roland, holding Medici's arm, chuckled slyly:

“Sassriel has been completely spoiled by the Sun God ABC and has become like 007, which is unacceptable! You are different. You are a normal person. I fully support you in fighting for your own interests. I am a good boss.”

"Let go!" Medici forcefully pulled his arm back from Rolin's grasp. Hearing Rolin's rare display of human emotion, he glanced at him and continued, "Having fun being a little mischievous?"

Medici knew perfectly well that the other person actually knew everything and was just deliberately trying to annoy him.

“It’s certainly fun to be a little mischievous.” Rowling released Medici’s hand and laughed without any hesitation. Then he reached out and patted Medici’s shoulder, smiling as he said, “So, do you feel a little better now?”

"Are you serious?" Medici glanced at him.

“Of course I’m serious!” Roland nodded, then smiled and said, “Alright, I know you’ve been working hard lately. Once this busy period is over, I’ll give you a long vacation!” “I hope that day will come when I’m done with this,” Medici said, his expression much better. He then glanced at everyone present and asked with a hint of doubt, “The Sun God isn’t participating?”

“Sasriel will relay the details of this operation to the Sun God.” Rolin gestured to Sasriel beside him and said, “Since Sasriel himself will also be involved in some of the follow-up work, and I cannot yet have Him coexist with the Sun God, I will have Him represent Him in this meeting for now.”

"Anyway, the Sun God only needs to provide military support, so it doesn't matter whether he participates or not!" Roland shrugged and said matter-of-factly.

“You make it sound like the Sun God is your henchman,” Medici said, glancing at Rolin.

"Isn't that right?" Rowling asked him in confusion.

"Tsk!" Medici clicked his tongue, but did not refute. He then grabbed a chair and sat down, raising his ruby-like eyes to look at Rolin and say, "Sometimes I really don't know if you respect the Sun God or not."

"Of course I respect Him, but that doesn't contradict using Him as a henchman. Just like I like you a lot, but that doesn't stop me from using you as a tool!"

Luo Lin smiled, then took out a few chairs from the alternate dimension and called to the others, "I almost forgot, everyone please sit down, there's no need to stand for the meeting!"

Although the others had different expressions, none of them refused, and each took a chair and sat down.

After everyone was seated, Rolin stopped arguing with Medici and began to seriously chair the meeting, discussing with everyone the next steps to rescue the bound god Thorzna.

Interestingly, although the theme is rescuing the bound god Thorzna, there's actually not much to discuss about the event itself.

After all, the process was quite simple: Rolin would take the sun god to retrieve the bound god Thorzna, and then perform surgery on him to stabilize the pollution. For others, this might be the most difficult part of the entire operation, but for Rolin's group, it wasn't that difficult.

The main topics of discussion among Rowling and others were two other parts: how to reduce the negative impact of this event on ordinary people, since destruction is easier than salvation; and how to prevent the Mother Tree and the Rose School from resorting to desperate measures, as the tide is unstoppable and indiscriminately harming innocent people is a matter worthy of discussion.

Fortunately, the coordinates of the Rose School's stronghold and the corresponding list of Rose School members provided by Renette Tinicol greatly reduced the difficulty of handling the situation.

This last part of the work was assigned to Amon and Bethel. The former had clones all over the north and south continents and could quickly lock onto targets, while the latter had super mobility and could make up for any accidents in the shortest possible time.

Upon hearing this arrangement, Amon reached out and pushed up his monocle, which had reappeared on his face at some point, and said, "Why is there an arrangement for me? Am I just here to join in the fun?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Lin glanced at him, then smiled and said, "I'm giving you a chance to atone for your past sins. Don't you want it?"

"After I atone for my sins, will I no longer take the villain card?" Amon didn't directly answer "yes" or "no," but instead asked in return.

"At least that way I'll hesitate before I beat you up in the future," Roland said with a smile.

"It doesn't sound very useful," Amon said, knowing his own limitations. "After all, given my personality, it's impossible for me not to court death."
