Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 424 A Strange Combination Appears

To be fair, Rowling didn't dislike Anderson. Otherwise, his small revenge on Anderson wouldn't have been the kind of "give a treat and then a big stick" approach. Instead, he would have directly followed the method used by Amon.

However, it must be said that watching Anderson, who clearly resisted the knowledge hell to the extreme, but had to grit his teeth and accept it in order to meet the gods, and who was gritting his teeth but had to thank him, still made Rowling feel happy.

Hunters are really fun to mess with.

"Hello, you must be Vice Admiral Edwina! Although you probably know us, I'd still like to introduce myself. I'm Jack Jones, you can just call me Jack." After teasing Anderson, Rowling then looked at Vice Admiral Edwina and introduced himself, looking like a sunny and cheerful college student again.

Although after what just happened, almost everyone knows he's a wolf in sheep's clothing, that obviously doesn't stop Luo Lin from continuing his act.

Little Ke and Little Amon, who were standing next to him, also introduced themselves.

“Hello, Mr. Jack, Mr. Gehrman, Mr. Amon. I am Edwina Edwards, you may also call me Edwina.”

Lieutenant General Edwina also introduced herself, and then said, "Gardelia has already told me why you are looking for me. If she is not mistaken, you seem to want to buy 'The Travels of Grossell' from me."

As she spoke, she pulled a booklet, clearly bound from parchment, from her bosom, and continued, "This is 'The Travels of Grosser,' which comes from a shipwreck at the bottom of the sea..."

Lieutenant General Edwina briefly introduced the origins of Grosser's Travels and its contents, which can be summarized as the story of a group of people fighting against a frost dragon.

Rowling's gaze followed her introduction and fell on the book bound with parchment. He knew what it was, of course. On the surface, it was just an ordinary adventure storybook, but in reality, the book's origin was very complicated. It could almost be determined that it was the divine kingdom that the ancient god, the Imaginary Dragon, had descended from. Moreover, it likely contained the other party's resurrection plan.

Rowling didn't really have any ideas about the Imaginary Dragon, but he wanted to study the book to see if he could get some inspiration for resurrecting the sun god.

After introducing the book's origins and contents, the Iceberg General Edwina looked at Rowling and said, "I can sell it to you at a very low price, but I hope to get an answer from you. I want to know what secrets it holds, a question that has troubled me for many years."

Rowling was not surprised to hear this. With the oracle of Herabogen as a backing, it was impossible for Lieutenant General Edwina of the Iceberg to refuse their offer. Edwina herself was undoubtedly a genuine scholar with a great thirst for knowledge, and naturally she would want to know the secret of Grosser's Travels.

Rowling simply smiled and said, "I can tell you the secrets of this book, and I can even take you inside to experience it for yourself."

Lieutenant General Edwina was visibly taken aback for a moment, then she looked thoughtful and hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "So there's a special space within this book?"

Her answer wasn't arbitrary; it was mainly because Grosser's Travels was quite unique. Despite being a book made 3000 years ago, the characters in the stories it recorded came from various later eras. This basically meant that if the book wasn't a book of prophecy, it was a book that could eat people, because it had eaten the owners of books from different eras, which is why it had such a peculiar story.

“You can be even bolder, maybe it’s a whole country!” Roland smiled, took the “Grossell Travelogue” from Edwina’s hands from the iceberg, casually turned a page, and then his fingertip touched the page, a little bit of hidden power seeping into it.

A few seconds later, Rowling withdrew his hand, a key-like object between his fingers. This was certainly not an original item from "The Travels of Groselle," but rather a key that Rowling had secretly created using his own power, bypassing the firewall of "The Travels of Groselle."

This was not difficult for Rowling. Although "The Travels of Gersell" could be said to be a remnant of the Imaginary Dragon Kingdom, the Imaginary Dragon was already dead, so this place became a no-owner land. For Rowling, who had once studied under Yog, opening the door to this no-owner land was incredibly easy.

“Once Pales and the others arrive, we can open the door and go on an adventure in the world of the book. Hmm, before that, why don’t you all think about your names? After all, characters in adventure stories need a catchy title.” Rowling closed the book slowly and looked at the others, suggesting this.

"I know the answer to this question!" Little Amon immediately raised his hand to participate and said, "My name is Time Angel!"

"Didn't you already sever ties with the original justice?" Little K glanced at Little Amon with a subtle expression.

“No problem. Even though I’ve separated from my original body, I’m still an Angel of Time!” Little Amon looked at Little K in confusion, seemingly not understanding the conflict between the two.

Little K's lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute it. Wasn't Little Amon the Angel of Time? But it seemed that He really could be.

"Don't worry about that. You know Little Amon, right? He's just like that." Roland patted Little K on the shoulder and asked, "Why don't you think of a catchy title for yourself first? How about 'The Strongest Adventurer'?"

"Whatever you want." Xiao Ke shook his head helplessly. He clearly didn't care much about it and just casually asked, "And what about you?"

"Uh..." Luo Lin hesitated for a second, stroking his chin, and said, "A sunny and cheerful college student?"

Xiao Ke paused for a second upon hearing this, then couldn't help but ask, "Are you really that fixated on your persona?"

“Of course, this is where my soul resides,” Rowling said matter-of-factly.

Little Amon, who was listening in, said at this moment, "No, no, all your nicknames are so long, so I have to have a long one too..." He showed a thoughtful expression.

Rowling then blinked and suggested, "How about calling yourself Little Little Angel? That way you can be distinguished from your original self, have your own unique characteristics, and the name is longer too."

Little Keldon looked at Rolin with a questioning gaze that seemed to ask, "Are you serious?"

Little Amon's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, I like this one."

Xiao Ke: ?
What kind of aesthetic sense do you have?
And don't you guys really think there are too many flaws in the combination of "the strongest adventurer", "sunny and cheerful college student" and "little little angel"?
