Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 439 Little Ke is numb
If you can't afford to mess with him, you can at least avoid him!
But what's this "Hunter Girl and Witch Poet" thing? Is it what he meant?

Xiao Ke took a deep breath, feeling his worldview deeply shaken. If the deck of the Future was not so difficult to dig, he could have dug out a large villa for himself.

He suddenly felt a little nostalgic for the love story between the great detective and Miss Puppet; at least back then, there weren't so many strange elements.

……

The Future did not sail in a straight line to the City of Generosity. In fact, considering the overall experience of the journey, in order to better understand the customs and culture of the five seas, to learn about the situation of the various colonial islands in the five seas, and to make Gehrman more famous in the five seas, the Future stopped at many ports along the way.

Meanwhile, thanks to someone's troublesome nature, the trio is bound to encounter trouble every time they stay.

Therefore, it was several days later when the Future arrived near the City of Generosity, and "The Mad Adventurer Gehrman" had already been published in newspapers everywhere.

"Wow, Gehrman, it seems someone has noticed that you look a lot like the main character in 'The Bounty Hunter and the Pirate Queen.' They even eat meal replacements!" Rowling held a newspaper in his hand, looking at the gossip news on it while pulling Little K next to him to share.

At this moment, Xiao Ke was clearly no longer the Xiao Ke who would feel utterly disgusted upon hearing about his own fan fiction. His expression remained stern, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, and he said indifferently, "Oh!"

Rowling glanced at him, shook his head, put down the newspaper he had finished reading, and said with a hint of disappointment, "Sigh, you're not fun anymore."

"Ha!" Little Ke finally couldn't help but sneer. Looking at the dejected Luo Lin, he said irritably, "Can't you find some other healthy hobbies?"

What kind of twisted pleasure is it to enjoy making others die of grief?!
“I think my hobby is perfectly healthy. I just like reading novels! Gehrman, don’t you like reading novels too?” Rowling shrugged and asked in return.

Xiao Ke then said expressionlessly, "It's perfectly healthy to enjoy reading novels, but if you're so capable, then don't commission my fanfiction!"

“But this is really interesting!” Rowling said with a rather innocent expression, “And as I said before, if you feel you’re losing out, you can also commission my fan fiction. I don’t mind.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke couldn't help but grind his teeth and said irritably, "Then may I ask who your CP is?"

"Uh..." Rowling blinked, uncertainly saying, "In terms of closeness or distance, it's probably a gender-swapped version of you?"

After all, Jack's closest confidants, besides Lucifer, are Kelvin and Amon, Medici, and the others.

"So what's the point of customizing this!" Little Ke said irritably.

“Poor kid!” Luo Lin shook his head, thought for a moment and said, “Actually, you can commission some fan fiction about other people. That way, my attention will be diverted and I won’t be focusing on commissioning fan fiction about you.”

"Huh?" Little Ke looked at him in confusion and asked tentatively, "For example?"

"For example, Steam Princess and Roselle..." Roland became interested when this was mentioned and began to talk at length about the "epic love" of his transmigrator predecessor.

After listening for a while, Xiao Ke finally couldn't help but ask, "Does Rosell know that you're making up stories about him like this?"

“He knows!” Rowling shrugged and said, “And if I may be frank, everything I just told you is true, so you can’t blame me for this pair’s obsession; it’s because they’re so real.”

Xiao Ke fell silent. For a moment, he began to doubt the sexual orientation of his predecessor, who had transmigrated from another world.

But then, thinking back to the Russell diaries he had read, Little K no longer had any doubts. After all, Russell's aesthetic was quite clear: he liked beautiful women with good figures.

"Why do you think Steam Princess can't be a beautiful woman?" Roland asked a profound question, "At Her level, even if she doesn't change the gender of her main body, wouldn't it be difficult to create a female clone?"

Xiao Ke fell silent, because, based on his understanding, it seemed to be feasible.

As for Roselle's integrity... haha, the Emperor has no integrity whatsoever.

"Does Bernadette know about this?" Little K thought of a crucial question.

"Uh, should know?" Rowling shrugged uncertainly and said, "At least Bonova knows, but he might not understand it, after all, his humanity isn't that advanced yet."

After they finished speaking, they both fell silent, and then Rowling and Little K simultaneously put their hands together in prayer.

I hope the Emperor is alright.

"What are you doing?" Little Amon asked with a puzzled expression when he saw his two friends praying as soon as he returned.

“We are praying for Russell, hoping that he will not be driven out of his home by his daughter,” Rowling said with a smile.

“Then he can go stay at his lover’s house,” Little Amon said casually, handing out two cups of the City of Generosity beverage to the two of them. He continued, “I’ve inquired, and the leader of the resistance is currently in the northern suburbs. If we want to find Kavituwa’s whereabouts, perhaps we can start with him…”

"I asked Shatass to help me at the Elven Ruins, and she seems to have made some progress..."

Little Amon recounted all the information he had gathered, and then, while sipping his drink, said, "That's all the information I've gathered. Now it's up to you guys."

"Thank you for your hard work, little Amon!" Roland patted little Amon on the shoulder, then said, "Leave the locating of the ruins to me..."

The place where Kavituwa is located is very special. It is a relic left by the Elf Queen, located between the spirit world and the real world, and is very difficult to locate without coordinates.

That is why Cavidova has been able to be the native god of the City of Generosity for so long, and even the people of the Church of Storms have never been able to deal with it - after all, they really can't find a place for it.

However, the ruins where Kavituwa is located have a unique feature: they are not actually a single ruin, but rather a pair of ruins, with the other elven ruin corresponding to it being found in reality.

Rowling asked Little Amon to find out these things so that he could use them to locate Cavitul's position.

Of course, Rolin did not deny that he also intended to use the elven singer Shatas as bait, since the elven queen was obviously closely related to the ruins of Kavituwa, and perhaps Shatas, the former handmaid of the elven queen, could lure her out.

Anyway, Shatas herself really wanted to see the Elf Queen again, so how could this not be a win-win situation!

Of course, Rolin had no ill intentions toward the Elf Queen. He wouldn't even mind helping her, as long as she could provide him with something he wanted, such as information about the Western Continent.
