Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 427 The world in the book
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, because after breakfast, everyone was about to embark on an adventure in the world of the book.

This time, quite a few members have entered the book. First, there are the three members of the Little K trio and their red maid, then Leonard, who is Palles's accessory, and finally Anderson and Lieutenant General Edwina.

Cattleya was responsible for looking after the house from the outside.

"Wait, why do I have to go in too?" Anderson wondered if something was wrong with this development.

“Because we need someone to draw hatred and make us look bad, and you’re perfect for that,” Rowling said matter-of-factly, glancing at Anderson.

“But didn’t you already have an angel who was going to go in?” Anderson said, glancing furtively at Palles beside him.

“What are you thinking? This is an adventure for young people. How can elders get involved? Mr. Pales is only responsible for solving the lifespan problem. He doesn’t participate in fighting monsters,” Rolin said matter-of-factly.

Pales had no objection to this, but looked at Leonard and said with a smile, "Keep it up, this is also a good experience for you."

Leonard didn't show any resistance this time. Although he didn't like studying, he was quite happy to fight monsters.

"Alright, then you should at least tell me what our enemy is, right? The book only says it's a frost dragon, but what level of frost dragon is it?" Anderson didn't say anything more, just asked.

“If my information is correct, it is probably an adult frost dragon, with a strength of around Sequence 4, but much weaker than a normal Sequence 4.” Roland didn’t hide anything and said, “Theoretically, with so many of us, plus the people in the book, there shouldn’t be a problem.”

Anderson paused for a second upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, before finally asking, "Are you sure?"

Despite the large number of people present, they are mostly below the level of demigod. The gap between demigods and those in the lower and middle ranks is quite exaggerated. Even 10 Sequence 5s could be wiped out if they tried to fight a demigod. Of course, with proper coordination, it is not impossible to win.

“At least with Mr. Palles around, no one will die,” Rowling said with a smile.

"Alright, then I'm fine with it." Anderson then shut up. As the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea, he really didn't mind meeting a demigod-level dragon as long as there was no danger to his life. It would be a rare experience.

“Since everyone is okay with it, I’ll open the door.” With a flick of his wrist, a key appeared in his hand. He then pressed the key into “The Travels of Groselle,” and with a blinding white light, everyone present, except for Cattleya who had already retreated, vanished and entered the world of the book.

……

For the people in the world of the book, today was supposed to be a peaceful day.

As always, the giant Grosser mediated the conflicts among his companions. He was a generous giant full of positive energy and did not want his companions to hurt each other.

Although the elven singer Shatas was very unhappy with the ascetic Snowman, she withdrew the arrow she had pointed at Snowman out of respect for the giant Grosser.

The ascetic Snowman glanced indifferently at the elven singer Shatas before continuing his prayers to his Lord. Their conflict stemmed primarily from their beliefs: Shatas worshipped the ancient Elf King, while Snowman worshipped the ancient Sun God, and as everyone knew, the Elf King's death was inextricably linked to the ancient Sun God.

It can be said that there was no life-or-death struggle between them; it was truly the result of their many years of sharing life and death, and the efforts of the giant Grosser to mediate.

Mobert Zoroaster, whose clothing style was full of the asymmetrical features of the Solomon Empire, shook his head as he watched this scene. He then moved closer to the elven singer Shatas and began to distract her with words, trying to amuse her.

Then he was chased and beaten all over the camp by the irritable elven singer, Shatas.

Even so, there is still a subtle but real atmosphere between them. Perhaps it won't be long before one of them takes that step and the couple will finally get married.

After the farce, the knight Longzel, clad in black armor, chose to go to sleep. He knew very well that while there was still a slight possibility that the elven singer Shatas and the ascetic Snowman might actually get into a fight and cause things to get out of control, the relationship between the elven singer Shatas and Mobert Zoroaster was just a game.

Perhaps I'll be able to attend their wedding soon? But there's no priest here, and we can't very well have Snowman officiate the wedding... Black-armored knight Longzel pondered the scene and couldn't help but gasp.

Just when everyone thought today would be just another ordinary day, they suddenly heard a noise, which made them all look in a certain direction.

Then everyone froze, because in a certain direction, a large group of people was walking towards them.

What's the situation?
It's fair to say that no one was completely unfazed at this moment. After all, although new people often come to this book, it's usually only one or two at a time, but now there are seven or eight people walking towards them.

"Everyone on alert!" The elven singer Shatass took the lead and drew her bow. Before knowing whether the approaching person was friend or foe, she had to be prepared to strike first.

"Wait, I think I see the old man..." Mobert Zoroaster raised his hand and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He stared blankly at the familiar figure in the crowd not far away.

"Someone you know?" The elven singer Shatas glanced at him, then seemed to realize something and paused for a moment as well.

As a companion who had lived together in the book for so many years, the elven singer Shatas had certainly heard Mobert Zoroaster mention his family, among whom the old man he mentioned most often seemed to be an angel of the Zoroaster family.

“I’m not sure, but it really does seem to be an old man…” Mobert Zoroaster rubbed his eyes again, making sure he wasn’t seeing things, wasn’t hallucinating, and his excitement grew. He said, “Shutter, wait a minute, I’ll go check over there first. If there’s a problem, then you can take action…”

The elven singer, Shatas, hesitated for a moment, then said, "No, I'll go with you."

"...Is that alright?" This time it was Mobert Zoroaster's turn to hesitate. Although he was quite certain that the person opposite him really was an old man, there was always a chance of something going wrong...

But Mobert Zoroaster knew very well that he couldn't easily change the elven singer Shatas's decision, so he could only nod.
