Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 488 What do you want to do after the apocalypse ends?

Rowling once fell, when He was still a pure Nyarlathotep.

But Yog, who happened to be passing by, picked up the fallen Nyarlathotep, pieced Him back together from the ashes, and for some unknown reason, chose to pull Rolin out of the abyss and teach Him how to avoid falling.

So after severing ties with Nyarlathotep and embarking on his journey, Rolin never fell again.

So, faced with the blessing from the sun god, Rowling smiled and accepted it readily. He returned to familiar Backlund and his familiar villa with the book that recorded his stories with all his friends in the world.

The villa was naturally empty now, as everyone was busy with their own things. Luo Lin was not in a hurry to get promoted, but instead leisurely cleaned the house, brewed himself some black tea, and then sat down at his desk with the tea.

"At the beginning of the story, poor Rowling encountered Amon..." Rowling took a sip of red tea, then picked up his pen and began to slowly fill in his story in the ancient book. He didn't write very fast, and as he wrote, he suddenly felt some movement downstairs.

Rowling raised an eyebrow. Wearing the Lucifer disguise, he continued writing his story, while wearing the Jack disguise, he strode downstairs and immediately saw Medici busy in the kitchen, little Amon standing at the kitchen door, clearly taking orders, and little K struggling with coffee beans.

"What brings you here?" Roland asked, his gaze sweeping over them.

"Can't I go home and visit someone?" Medici glanced at him and asked rudely, "Tell me what you want to eat right now, or you'll miss out."

As he spoke, he was wearing an apron, which made people realize that he truly lived up to the name of Medici's mother.

Upon hearing this, Luo Lin couldn't help but laugh, his smile quite pleasant. He said, "Little Hong, sometimes I really wonder if one day when you're cremated, your mouth will still be there."

How could he not see that Medici only went home out of concern for him?

"Ha!" Medici sneered, looking at him and saying, "You don't want anything to eat, huh? Then I'll just improvise. How about strawberry mapo tofu?"

“That’s such a terrible dish!” Rowling immediately refused and then began to recite the names of the dishes.

After reporting, Rowling looked at Little Amon and Little K and said, "Weren't you two helping Bethel?"

“That’s how it was supposed to be, but Little K felt that Mr. Lucifer’s behavior was a bit unusual and was a little worried, so he dragged me back to check on him,” Little Amon immediately raised his hand to answer.

Little Ke coughed slightly, a little embarrassed, and then looked at Roland and asked, "I am indeed a little worried, so is Mr. Lucifer alright?"

"It's alright, what could possibly happen to the old man? He won't die even if you do." Roland chuckled, taking the cup from Little Ke's hand and starting to make hand-ground coffee. Just then, Little Ke asked again:

"And you, Jack, how are you?"

Luo Lin paused, looked up at Xiao Ke, and saw genuine concern and worry. At that moment, Luo Lin realized that Xiao Ke might not be completely unaware of some things, but just as he had expected, Xiao Ke had chosen to play dumb.

Rowling then smiled and looked at Little K generously, saying, "Of course I'm fine, don't worry. Actually, you should be happier."

Xiao Ke was stunned for a moment.

Lorin smiled brightly and said, "Because the apocalypse will end soon, you can think about your future life plans then, such as finding a girlfriend and starting a happy family?" Although he no longer had the responsibility of saving the world, as a candidate for the Lord of Mysteries, Little K had never relaxed. He was indeed more relaxed and happy now than before, but he still hadn't thought about his future, a future other than saving others and saving the world.

Xiao Ke was truly stunned this time. Since his transmigration, he had never considered these things. Before knowing the truth about the transmigration, he wanted to go home and didn't want to delay others. After knowing the truth about the transmigration, he simply didn't want to involve others in those complicated matters, and he didn't have the time to think about these things.

But if the apocalypse really ends, he can live like a normal person...

Xiao Ke was silent for a moment, then suddenly scratched his head and said, "To be honest, even if the apocalypse really ends, I probably won't find a girlfriend anytime soon. I'm only in my early twenties. Isn't it too early to be thinking about marriage at this age..."

This is the truth. Even before he transmigrated, Xiao Ke never considered getting married too early, since late marriage was the norm in that era.

"Tsk!" Luo Lin clicked his tongue in exasperation, then chuckled and said, "Alright, I know you want to be a single dog for life. So, besides being a single dog, what else do you want to do after the apocalypse ends?"

Little K was silent for a while, probably thinking, before finally saying, "Maybe I'll become a historian?"

Whether out of personal preference or influenced by the original Klein, Little Klein was indeed very interested in exploring the various histories of this world.

"Got it, you want to be the team wipe engine." Rowling nodded seriously, then made a tabletop RPG joke, before looking at Little Amon and saying, "And you, Little Amon?"

"Oh, is there anything else about me?" Little Amon paused for a moment, then pinched his monocle and thought seriously for a while before smiling and saying, "I might become a magician. Magic is very interesting, and the audience's expressions are also very interesting."

"Are you discussing your future life plans?" Azik, who had somehow returned to the villa, asked curiously.

“Yes, after all, the apocalypse will be over soon, and the work of the Republic will eventually be finished, so I think it's necessary to consider future life plans.” Rolin nodded, looking at Azik. He didn't ask why the other was there, but simply said:

"So, Mr. Azik, what do you plan to do after all this is over?"

"Me?" Azik looked thoughtful, then smiled gently after a few seconds and said, "Perhaps I'll go back to Tingen and continue being a teacher?"

"Such a simple ideal," Luo Lin commented.

“Perhaps it’s because I’m not an ambitious person at all!” Azik smiled gently and gestured to the bag in his hand, which contained fresh fruit.

"Want to eat?"

"Yes!" X3
So the three of them happily began to share the fruit.

As the group was making a fruit platter, there was a knock on the door. Luo Lin raised an eyebrow, ran to the door and opened it, but didn't see anyone at first glance.

"Hey, look down! Where are you looking?"

A familiar voice came from below. Rollin looked down without any surprise and saw seven or eight-year-old Will looking at him with dissatisfaction.
