Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 380 Who Can Resist a Sun God?
The members of the Knowledge Church naturally had no idea what kind of overtime hell awaited them in the future. If they had known, they might have done a few practice tests overnight to calm their nerves.

Their cold-hearted god of knowledge and wisdom, Heraborg, received a portion of the reward on the spot after making a deal with Rolin.

Rowling was a very decisive person. Adhering to the principle that since he was already there, he used extraordinary means to engrave all his research on the Outer Gods to date onto paper and handed it to Herabergen, also asking him to take a copy to the Goddess of Night as well.

After all, it's already quite troublesome for Rolin to come to the Astral Plane, so it's not really necessary for him to make another trip for this little thing.

Herabergen naturally wouldn't refuse. He put away the information belonging to the Goddess of Night, and his gaze involuntarily fell on his own information. He was obviously eager to read it, but he restrained himself because the guest was still there.

Rolin, of course, could see this. He smiled, not intending to delay Helabogen's journey through the ocean of knowledge, but simply glanced at the Sun God and asked:

"Is there anything else you want to talk to Herabergan about? If not, I'll go deal with the mess left by the Rose School first, and then go check on the Forsaken Land. Of course, these things aren't urgent, and we can talk slowly if you need anything."

Although there are still many things to deal with, these matters are basically already being handled by someone, so things won't get out of control. Whether Luo Lin arrives a little earlier or a little later won't make a big difference, so there's no rush.

Upon hearing this, the Sun God looked at Herabogen, who in turn looked up at him. They gazed at each other for a few seconds, then the Sun God smiled and said, "Although I would love to reminisce with you in detail, I think you need some undisturbed reading time right now, and I also need to attend to some other matters, so..."

The sun god paused here, then gave Herabogen a gentle smile and said:

"See you next time, Herabogen. If you don't mind, we can perhaps talk about the evolution of knowledge in the field of occultism over the past few thousand years. You know, I belong to the past and am not very familiar with this part."

“See you next time, Lord.” Herabgan smiled, a smile that was relaxed yet slightly embarrassed. He continued, “I also look forward to discussing this topic with you. I will prepare afternoon tea in advance to welcome you, but…”

Herabergen paused here, his expression becoming much more serious, and said earnestly, "In some ways, I am actually a rather stubborn old man, and I hope you won't find me too serious."

The sun god glanced at Herabogen with slight surprise upon hearing this, then smiled and said just as earnestly, "I believe that seriousness is not a flaw when it comes to exploring knowledge."

After the Sun God and Herabogen bid each other farewell, Rolin naturally left with the Sun God. After the two left, Herabogen did not rush to look at the documents in his hands, but looked in the direction the two left, and then showed a relaxed and relieved smile.

"This can be considered a good start?"

Hrabergen didn't know.

The appearance of Rolin, the "return" of the sun god, shattered too many of the plans set by the god of knowledge, and also caused unprecedented and enormous changes in the world's situation.

Hrabogan didn't really know whether this was good or bad, but at least for now, he didn't dislike the change.

……

After leaving the Astral Plane, Roland looked at the Sun God with a hint of doubt and asked, "Is there anything you need to take care of? Do you need me to take you there?"

Although he knew this was most likely just a polite excuse, Rolin couldn't rule out the possibility that the Sun God really had something to attend to, so he simply asked directly. Upon hearing this, the Sun God glanced at him and said with a wry smile, "Indeed, there is something. After all, Sasriel still needs to handle the follow-up affairs of the Rose School for you, and I can't delay His work."

Luo Lin raised an eyebrow and suddenly said, "Actually, if you want to take His place at work, that's fine too."

The sun god looked at him, shook his head, and said helplessly, "It's not appropriate for you to poach people from me, is it?"

“What’s inappropriate about it? You should know I’m very tolerant. If you’re willing, Grisha, I wouldn’t mind if you brought your whole family to come and join me.” Roland smiled brightly, and he meant it all.

After all, who could refuse the allegiance of a sun god?

Especially since the other party also brought along their own assistant, ABC.

"I mind, thank you!" The Sun God, having finally managed to refuse, then gave Roland a gentle smile, his voice earnest yet firm, and said:

"I've entrusted the task of keeping you in check to Sasriel. So, please allow me to always stand against you, to be the one who keeps an eye on you and prevents you from crossing the line!"

"What a gentle yet cruel answer, so characteristic of the Sun God." Roland raised an eyebrow, not disappointed. He then changed the subject and asked with great interest, "Actually, there's a question I've been curious about for a long time."

"What's the problem?" The Sun God was already used to Roland's quirky ways and naturally followed up on his topic.

“I’ve witnessed your relationships with the various angel kings during this time, and I must say, your relationships are really good. So I’m very curious, among your eight angel kings, who is your favorite?” Roland asked earnestly, while secretly activating a recording device in an extraordinary realm.

Although this world doesn't have cameras yet, it possesses extraordinary power, and there are ways to briefly record some scenes.

The Sun God naturally saw Roland's little trick, or rather, Roland never intended to hide it at all.

The other party's seemingly eager-to-make-a-fuss attitude gave the Sun God a headache. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid I can't give you an answer to this question. They are all very important to me."

Clearly, even the sun god, faced with a problem that could easily ignite a family war, could only choose to avoid it.

"But there must be one that's the most important, right?" But Roland clearly wasn't going to let him off the hook so easily, and continued, "If you won't answer, let me guess..."

He looked thoughtful, then suddenly realized and said, "I guess it's Ocycus. After all, he's your eldest son, and people always have a special feeling for their first child."

The sun god was momentarily speechless, for He knew that Rolin's words were a trap, and whether He went along with him or denied it, it would not be a good answer.

But He cannot truly remain silent, because silence would certainly be twisted into an admission of consent.
