Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 430 The Growing Soroaster Family
“Flowers…yes, we should prepare flowers. How can a confession be without flowers? I, I’ll go find some flowers right now…” After a moment of stunned silence, Mobert Zoroaster finally came to his senses and was clearly a bit dumbfounded. His movements became clumsy, and before he could take two steps, he was grabbed by the elven singer, Shatas.

The latter replied irritably, "There are so many people here, now is not the time to look for flowers."

After finishing her sentence, the elven singer, Shatas, ignored him, though her ears turned slightly red. She then looked somewhat uncomfortably at the crowd of onlookers. After a brief pause, her gaze fell on Pales and she said, "You must be the Prince Pales that Mobert mentioned. Please forgive Mobert and me for our rudeness just now. May I ask what brings you here?"

Her attitude was slightly respectful, yet neither servile nor arrogant.

Respect is shown to an angel, while humility is shown because the other party is not an angel of the elven race.

"It's alright, I don't care. Do you think I don't know this kid? As for my purpose in coming here, it's of course to rescue you all." Pales said with a smile.

The elven singer, Shatas, pursed her lips upon hearing this, but her expression showed no surprise.

Upon hearing Pales's words, Mobert forgot about finding flowers and quickly looked at Pales, saying, "Old man, can you take us out directly?"

“Strictly speaking, it wasn’t me.” Pales shook his head and looked at Rolin, who was watching the show from the side.

Lorin blinked, and in response to the gazes cast by Mobert and the elven singer Shatas, he smiled and said, "I can indeed open the door and take you out right now, but rather than leaving this world directly, perhaps you would prefer to bring this experience to an end?"

"You mean kill the King of the North?" Mobert was not stupid and guessed this immediately.

“Yes!” Rowling nodded and smiled, “Don’t you want to settle things with that dragon? Especially with Mr. Pales around, the process will be very safe.”

Mobert's expression immediately showed obvious excitement. He had been trapped in this world for thousands of years and had fought against the King of the North for thousands of years. Naturally, he was unwilling to leave just like that.

Without Pales as a guarantee, Mobert might have chosen to leave directly. After all, fighting the King of the North is no easy task, and Mobert couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any casualties during the process. But now, with the old man as a safety net...

Mobert looked at Pales almost instinctively, his gaze filled with both longing and a desire for confirmation.

"I guarantee no one will die in this battle, except for that dragon you mentioned," Pales said with a smile, like a kind old man. But no one doubted his words. In front of an angel, the Northern King, who was not even a true Sequence 4, was just a toy.

Having received the old man's assurance, Mobert instantly felt his scales tip in his favor. However, he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he glanced at Shatas, and after exchanging a look with her, Mobert turned to Pales and said, "I need to consult with the other companions about this matter..."

“Don’t tell me that, it’s not my decision.” Pales shook his head, correcting his mistake, and said, “You should tell Jack.”

Although "Jack Jones" was just an ordinary Faceless Man, Pallas never underestimated this junior, after all, the other party was Lucifer's student.

As for Lucifer… thinking of this descendant of the Zoroaster family, Pales sighed and added, “Jack is Lucifer’s student, and Lucifer is the one who guided me to save you.”

Upon hearing this, Mobert was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Roland and said warmly, "I see. In that case, my friend, you are the student of my savior, so you are also my savior!"

As he spoke, Mobert was also a little puzzled. He could sense that Pales's attitude was a little strange when he said those words, but this strangeness did not seem to be due to any other emotion. Instead, it seemed to be because of... guilt.
Did the old man do something to wrong Mr. Lucifer?

Mobert couldn't help but wonder. "There's no need to be so polite. The main reason my teacher sent Pales to rescue you was because of a deal," Roland said with a smile. After a pause, he added, "After all, my teacher doesn't really like Mr. Pales."

Mobert: ?

what?
At this moment, Mobert felt a little confused. He looked at Rolin and then at Pales, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what kind of relationship these people had.

Pales sighed and, facing Mobert's questioning gaze, explained, "Lucifer was also a Zoroaster. He... suffered a lot because of Amon. It was my fault."

Mobert instantly felt he understood, and then he realized something, and his gaze toward Rolin became much more affectionate.

After all, Zoroaster's students are considered members of Zoroaster, and by a rounding up, they are practically his own family.

“There’s no need to round it off. In fact, in terms of bloodline, I am indeed a Zoroaster.” Rolin glanced at Mobert, and seeing what the other was thinking, he smiled and said.

He has never hidden his bloodline.

After all, Rolin didn't mind revitalizing the Zoroaster family. Considering that Pales had already been strengthened by him, and now with the addition of Mobert Zoroaster, along with Lucifer, Jack, and Rolin, the Zoroaster family was truly thriving, and their numbers were about to surpass one hand!
Although three of them are his pseudonyms, how can this not be considered a kind of revitalization!

Rowling was perfectly justified in this.

After hearing what Rolin said, Mobert looked at him a few more times and then said warmly, "No wonder you look familiar to me. It turns out we're brothers! Let me introduce myself. I am Mobert Zoroaster. If you don't mind, you can just call me Mobert. I wasn't much older than you before I entered this wretched world, so I won't presume to call you brother."

Mobert wasn't stupid; he could tell that Lucifer was no ordinary person, most likely another angel, or even someone more powerful than the old man. In that case, his status as Lucifer's student was obvious.

Therefore, Mobert would never take advantage of his seniority to act arrogantly; only a fool would do that.

“I am Jack Jones, you can just call me Jack.” Rowling glanced at him and smiled, then continued, “You can ask your companions for their opinions. If anyone doesn’t want to participate in the final battle and just wants to leave, I can open the door and send them out alone.”

Mobert was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the other person was answering his earlier question, and quickly said gratefully, "Thanks, brother, you're such a good person!"

After a pause, Mobert seemed to remember something and said, "Then, everyone, come with me to the camp? I'll introduce you to my companions and tell you about the relevant information."

Luo Lin nodded in agreement without any objection.

The group then headed towards the campsite, exchanging names and introducing themselves along the way.

"Red Maid? What genius gave you that name!" Mobert was clearly a very talkative person, chatting with others along the way. After asking about Danitz's name, Mobert paused for a moment and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
