Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 375 Visiting the God of Wisdom
“I also want to thank you for eliminating the Rose School, this cancer.” The Goddess of Night met his gaze, her eyes gentle, and she seemed to be in a good mood. “Without the Bound God Thorzna and the Goddess Niesia, it will be much more difficult for the Mother Tree to take any further action.”

“It’s what I should do.” Roland smiled, equally pleased, and continued, “Once I’ve sorted out what I’ve gained this time, you can choose a portion as payment, or if there’s anything you want, you can mention it now.”

Although protecting the world is everyone's responsibility, the due compensation must still be paid. Rolin will not ignore the contributions of the Goddess of Night just because it is her responsibility.

"No need for payment, but if you have any findings on the power of the Mother Tree, I would like to know the details," the Goddess of Night said. Compared to other insignificant rewards, she clearly valued Rolin's research on the Outer Gods more.

This is not surprising. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." As the enemy of Earth, the Goddess of Night would naturally collect information about the Outer Gods. She had considered studying the Outer Gods before, after all, the Outer Gods' corruption was truly terrifying, and everyone had to be wary of it.

But precisely because the pollution from the Outer Gods was so terrible, the Goddess of Night made almost no progress in this area and did not come up with any results.

But just because He couldn't figure it out doesn't mean that Rowling couldn't figure it out either. After all, in a sense, Rowling was truly an expert in the field of Outer Gods.

“Okay, I’ll send you the relevant information later, and I’ll let you know when the research results are available.” Roland nodded indifferently; he didn’t mind sharing his research on Outer Gods with others.

The Goddess of the Night smiled upon hearing this, clearly satisfied with the result.

Because the Astral Plane needed the Goddess of Night to return and continue patching the rift—after all, the power of the Sun God was only temporary—the Goddess of Night did not stay long. She chatted with Rolin for a few more minutes, mainly discussing her views on the various Outer Gods, before taking her leave and returning to the Astral Plane.

After the darkness departed, Rolin glanced at the god Nie Si'a on the ground with a hint of disdain. Then, after thinking for a few seconds, he looked at Bethel beside him and asked, "Can we seal Him inside something? Otherwise, it's not easy to carry around."

“Yes, I can seal it in the gem for now.” Bethel nodded, and a beautiful ruby ​​appeared in his hand. He then snapped his fingers, and the ruby ​​emitted a brilliant light that fell above the god Nie Siea, absorbing it into his body.

“Alright,” Bethel said, and was about to hand the ruby ​​to Roland when the latter took a half-step back in disgust.

"How about you keep Bethel?" Rowling blinked and suggested, then added with a hint of disdain, "After all, He's really too ugly."

Bethel paused, glanced at Rowling with a hint of helplessness, and nodded, saying, "Okay."

He didn't find the god Niesh'ah particularly ugly; he had seen too many strange and bizarre things during the Fourth Age and had become immune to them.

Bethel was simply surprised that Rollins had this side to him.

But upon closer reflection, Bethel realized that Rowling wasn't just like this for the first time; he had always been a sucker for good looks, only it hadn't been so obvious before.

Bethel didn't have any opinion on this, after all, He Himself actually liked beautiful things, such as various gemstones, so He simply asked, "What's next?"

"After that, of course, we'll have to deal with the mess left by the Rose School. We can't count on Little Tom for now. Hopefully, Renette can be of some use, otherwise I'm really afraid Little Red will suddenly die." Rowling clearly had a plan in mind, speaking slowly and deliberately. He first looked at Bethel and gave his instructions:

“Bethel, first send the Divine Abomination Sear to the biological laboratory in the Forsaken Lands. Explain the situation there, and maintain Sear's sealed state until I arrive. The True Creator is watching over it, so there's no need to worry about accidents. Besides, to be honest, given the state of the Forsaken Lands, accidents aren't a big deal, since there aren't many people around.” The biological laboratory had been built a few days ago, and people like Frank had already begun their research. However, due to the short timeframe and lack of advanced materials, the laboratory hadn't made much progress. But Rolin believed that the appearance of Sear, the research material, would definitely bring Frank some surprises.

I just hope this surprise won't become a shock to the world.

Luo Lin silently added in his heart that he still retained some awe for the Mushroom King, after all, he was that man.

Then, as if remembering something, Rolin looked at the Sun God and said, "By the way, Grisha, would you like to come with me to see the Two-Five Dragon? I need to talk to Him about the 200 assistants."

Originally, Roland wasn't in a hurry to meet the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, but plans can't keep up with changes. With the workload piling up and someone on the verge of dying from overwork, Roland decided he should take care of his assistant's affairs first!

Having just reclaimed the bound god Thorzna and captured the god Nieceea, they are currently riding high on their success. It would be perfect to take advantage of this momentum to visit the two dragons.

"Two-Five Dragons?" The Sun God was taken aback for a moment before realizing who this referred to. After thinking for a second, He nodded and said, "Alright."

He really should see Helabogen.

……

When Herabogen was visited, he was trying to contact the Goddess of Night and obtain information from her about Rolin's operation.

This is not surprising. As the god of knowledge and wisdom, and also renowned as a true god of standing firm, how could Herabergan not be paying attention to the recent events in the astral plane?
Even if Helabogen didn't discover Rolin's existence in time due to geographical reasons, he should have known when Rolin led Roselle to attack the Steam Kingdom.

However, Herabogen was a very patient god, so He did not choose to take direct action. Instead, He observed and gathered intelligence first. This gathering allowed Him to learn a great deal about Rolin's deeds—mainly from Roselle, who exchanged a lot of information with Herabogen when he visited with Steam.

Of course, this was also the result that Rolin tacitly agreed to. He did not mind that the seven gods knew of his existence, and was even happy about it.

It was precisely because of this that Herabergen came to understand even more how terrifying Rolin was, which made him even more cautious. He kept an eye on Rolin's every move while pondering how to make contact with him.

In this situation, Heraborg discovered the unusual activity of the Goddess of Night, and then discovered Rolin's actions against the Rose School. Heraborg was both alarmed and curious about this, and in order to understand the matter further, he chose to contact the Goddess of Night to exchange for relevant information.

However, Herabogen did not expect that just as He made contact with the Goddess of Night, someone came to visit, bringing the Sun God along with him.

Sensing the presence of the two outside the divine realm, Herabergen remained silent for a few seconds, politely ending his communication with the Goddess of Night, and then took a deep breath.

What's meant to happen will happen; it's finally time for Him to face it!
