Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 383 The Scriptwriter's Potion Has Been Digested

Bethel pursed his lips, and for some inexplicable reason, he felt that Rowling's words made a lot of sense.

"By the way, where's Will? I haven't seen him..." Rowling suddenly remembered a Mercury Serpent that should have been in the biology lab but had disappeared, and a suspicious expression appeared on his face.

Bethel, who clearly knew something, coughed and said, "Will is with Ouroboros. I looked for Him when I first arrived here."

"Huh?" Rowling was genuinely surprised this time. He looked at Bethel in astonishment and asked in confusion, "When did their relationship become so good? I remember when I told Will about converting the biological lab to the Forsaken Land, He was very resistant. It took me a lot of effort to persuade Him..."

Bethel also looked at him, his expression subtle, and said tactfully, "Is it possible that Will doesn't want to stay in this lab because it's too eerie?"

Bethel had also wondered why Will was hanging out with Ulolius, but when he asked, he only received a look of utter despair from Will and the words, "Go and wander around that lab yourself, and you'll find that being with your enemy is a wonderful thing. At least the serpent is quite handsome, which isn't surprising at all."

Bethel didn't quite understand this passage at first, but after taking a tour of the biology lab with Frank, he finally understood what Will meant.

To be honest, the monsters in Frank's biological lab aren't actually dangerous; at least to an angel, they're just small pieces of trash. But the mental damage they cause is real. Just looking at them makes you feel like you're losing your sanity. No normal person would want to stay there.

Upon hearing Bethel's words, Rowling fell silent. After all, he was also a sucker for good looks. Although he supported the Mushroom King's experiments, he really didn't want to see those creations a second time.

So in the end, Rowling simply said, "Okay, I understand. As long as He can get there in time when something happens, that's fine."

“He left behind an avatar, which is usually dormant, but will be activated at crucial moments,” Bethel said.

“That’s fine then.” Rowling nodded, then looked at Bethel as if he had thought of something and said, “So are you going to leave first? I’ll probably need to stay here for a few more days to do some research.”

Bethel hesitated for a few seconds before finally nodding and saying, "I'll stay. After all, your recovery power is limited, and someone needs to be here to prevent any accidents."

……

And so Rowling got busy. Apart from Jack's ship, whose daily life was relatively leisurely, Lucifer and the original body, one accompanied Medici to clean up the minions of the Outer Gods, while the other stayed in the biological laboratory to study the power of the Mother Tree through the god Nie Si'a.

While Rowling was unusually busy, Renette Tinicol and Sussril were also working overtime.

Because the Bound God Thorzna was in poor condition and needed to recuperate, most of the Rose School's affairs were left to Rene Tinecol, the leader of the Temperance faction, by Roland, while Sasriel mainly assisted from the sidelines.

It must be said that Miss Exeggutor is still very reliable. Although she is not as good as before, she is still very skilled at handling various matters. With the help of her father, Sasriel, the two of them managed to sort out the mess of the Rose School very smoothly after a period of time.

The assets that needed to be inventoried were inventoried, the members who needed to be reformed were reformed, and those who were beyond saving were simply imprisoned, to be used as disposable props in the future. All the affiliated organizations of the Rose School were also dealt with, either completely incorporated or directly disbanded.

Besides these, there were many other miscellaneous matters that the two handled perfectly, truly gaining complete control of the organization from top to bottom. Of course, this did not mean the work was over; on the contrary, it was just the beginning.

After all, the Rose School will play a huge role in the subsequent arrangements in the Southern Continent, which is a place that truly requires constant attention.

However, this part of the work cannot be completed in a short time, so it is enough for Renette Tinicul to take charge for the time being. In addition, after a period of recuperation, the Bound God Thorzna is finally able to return to his post, so Sasriel naturally bid farewell to Renette Tinicul and returned to his original job.

He also had his own work to do; for one thing, Sasriel was about to take over the affairs of the border city.

Meanwhile, the assistants that Rowling had managed to get from Herabogen also came online. It has to be said that Old Dragon was an honest man; the 200 assistants he sent over were all talented, which greatly alleviated the shortage of assistants on Rowling's side, allowing Medici and the others to finally be relieved of the overtime hell a little.

After the Rose School affair was largely resolved, Rowling was freed, and Lucifer's disguise was finally freed from overtime work, allowing him to take a trip to a border city.

There wasn't any particular reason. First, the two rules that were being piloted in the border city had finally taken effect, and Roland planned to go and check on the situation. Second, Little K had finally finished digesting the Faceless Man potion and was now waiting to ask for leave to advance to the Master of Puppets, so Roland needed to get his leave approved.

In addition, Sasriel is about to officially take over a series of tasks in the border city, and Rolin will have to go there to witness it.

After arriving in the border city, Rolin noticed that the city seemed much more lively than the last time he came. To be more precise, there were more people, but the atmosphere remained the same, full of vitality and enthusiasm.

As Luo Lin walked alone through the border city, he carefully observed the surroundings and noticed some subtle differences.

For example, when I visited last time, although most people were filled with hope for the future because Medici had already taken control of the border city and reformed it, many others still looked worried, clearly not optimistic about the future.

But as Luo Lin observed the process, he noticed that everyone's confidence seemed to have increased significantly.

Luo Lin raised an eyebrow and randomly asked some people for the reason. As expected, he found that it was indeed related to the rules of the trial operation in the border city. Many people regarded it as a miracle and felt that there was a god supporting them. In a world where belief in gods is the mainstream, this naturally gave many people great confidence.

This is also why there are more people in the city; many people brought their relatives and friends over after the "miracle" occurred.

It has to be said that this was a pleasant surprise, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't exactly unexpected.

Lorin didn't intend to correct this point. It wasn't a bad thing that the residents regarded the existence of the rules as a miracle. After all, there really is a god in this world, and many of their members also needed faith as an anchor to fight against madness.

Moreover, the explanation of "miracle" can facilitate the implementation of more rules in the future.

Therefore, Rowling was quite satisfied with what he had seen and heard. What pleased him even more was that after saving Mr. Men, Thorzner, and others in succession during this period, he had already digested most of the "Scriptwriter's" potion. After witnessing the changes in the border city caused by the rules, Rowling's "Scriptwriter's" potion was completely digested.
