Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 299 Luo Lin Meets the God of Steam

Luo Lin looked at Bonois and said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter. Fanatics have their advantages. Since you are so loyal to your master, I believe that if your master wants you to win people's hearts, you will do it obediently."

Bonova is different from the Archon of Death. Although the Archon of Death's humanity has been suppressed in all aspects, he is still trying to save himself. He is not loyal to the god of death, and his main focus is on filial piety.

But Bonova truly believed in the God of Steam and Machinery from the bottom of his heart. This belief was not even entirely from divinity, but also came from Bonova himself - considering the environment Bonova had lived in since he was a child, this was not surprising.

In addition to guiding Bonova to discover his inner humanity, Rowling's recent series of actions were also to further observe his character traits. Therefore, after confirming that Bonova was indeed a devout believer in the God of Steam and Machinery from the inside out, he also updated the treatment plan in his heart.

Luo Lin smiled at Bonois and said, "You just said that the God of Steam and Machinery has been looking forward to Russell's return. Now that He has returned, won't you go and inform him?"

To solve the problem of fanatics, we naturally have to start with the Lord they believe in.

Bonois obviously didn't expect Luo Lin to change the subject so quickly, but what he said was true, so Bonois hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Please follow me."

Although Bonova could pray on the spot and inform the God of Steam and Machinery of the matter, considering that the God of Steam and Machinery might have a special reaction after learning about this, such as sending down an oracle or appearing in person, Bonova decided to take a few people back to his room first, otherwise he couldn't perform this show in front of everyone.

Luo Lin naturally didn't care about this. Russell moved closer to him and asked quietly, "Boss, are you planning to talk to Steam first and ask Him to issue an oracle to let Bonois obtain humanity?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. Your son is truly a believer in the God of Steam and Machinery!" Rowling smiled, glanced at Russell, and said,
"I could force Him to wear a mask, but if the patient doesn't cooperate, how effective will it be?"

Hearing this, Russell smiled bitterly and said, "But will Steam really agree?"

"That depends on you." Luo Lin raised his hand and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up, saying, "You are the one who is familiar with the God of Steam and Machinery."

"But if I could have convinced Steam, this wouldn't have happened back then." Russell said a little irritably.

Hearing this, Rowling glanced at Russell, then shook his head and said, "Forget it. I really can't count on you. You'll probably just end up fighting the God of Steam and Machinery and make things look ugly."

Russell smiled awkwardly but did not refute.

Because He is very clear about his own style. If He really talks to Steam about Bonova, the probability of a fight breaking out over a few words is very high.

This was originally the biggest rift between Him and the God of Steam and Machinery.

……

Soon, they arrived at Bonova's room. It was a plain-looking room, which did not seem to match Bonova's identity as an angel. In addition to the most basic daily necessities, some books that were obviously related to the Steam Church, and metal parts, there were only a few mechanical dolls on the table.

Rowling glanced at the puppets made of golden parts and immediately understood what the so-called postmodern style described by Xiao Ke in the original book meant - those puppets were put together in a completely awkward way, just like forcibly gluing broken ceramics together. If they were not fixed by extraordinary abilities, they would have shattered into pieces long ago.

"Huh?" Russell naturally noticed the metal dolls on the table. He obviously thought of something, and his expression became a little complicated when he spoke: "Bonova, you still remember..." He once told Bonova stories about mechas and Gundam when he was a child. At that time, Russell was not crazy yet, and he did not work hard to become a god. At that time, Russell was still working hard to push the technology tree, and even imagined that one day in the future he could really make something like Gundam.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The existence of the Outer Gods disrupted all of Russell's plans. He no longer had the energy to study mechas, and all his original plans came to an abrupt end.

Bonova's gaze also fell on the metal puppets. His expression was unusually complex at this moment. After half a second, he said, "These ideas are very valuable."

Russell choked, and for a moment he lost all emotion.

Luo Lin wasn't surprised at all. He simply said, "You can inform the God of Steam and Machinery. Also, a friendly reminder, I don't know if you normally serve as a vessel for the gods, but you'd better remind him now not to use his children as a vessel in front of a father, if he doesn't want to get beaten."

Bonois paused, said nothing, closed his eyes and began to pray softly.

After a while, changes occurred in the room. The unused metal parts that were originally placed on the table began to automatically assemble at this moment, and soon they were assembled into a small doll the size of a palm.

Apart from anything else, compared to Bonois who was obviously clumsy, the doll assembled by the God of Steam and Machinery can be said to be lifelike. The only regret is probably that he assembled a man instead of a woman.

So why not Steam Girl!
Luo Lin felt a little regretful from the bottom of his heart. It was not because he had any interest in the God of Steam and Machinery, but purely because he had supported the CP of Steam Princess and Roselle back then. He sincerely always thought that Steam Princess was a girl who loved Roselle but couldn't get her, so she turned into a dark and yandere girl, and he made up a lot of stories in his mind.

As a result, Steam Girl has become Steam Gay. Although they can still be in love but not be together, the feeling of this CP always feels weird.

"...What are you thinking about?" Russell, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt a chill at this moment, which made him instinctively look for the source of the chill. As a result, he saw Rowling with a regretful expression, and immediately asked vigilantly.

"I just feel a little regretful that the couple I supported back then ended up failing." Luo Lin sighed and told the truth.

"What CP?" Russell was stunned for a moment. As someone who had also experienced the internet age, Russell quickly realized what was happening. His face turned green as he said unhappily, "No, bro, I like girls! Isn't my sexual orientation obvious enough?"

"But you've also had sex with a witch!" Luo Lin glanced at him and said, "A witch isn't a girl!"

"Uh..." Russell paused for a moment before saying, "But witches look like women, feel like women, and when they do that, they're also women."

"Isn't it possible for Steam Princess?" Luo Lin asked doubtfully, "I remember that the Steam Path is also feminine. Can't He become a woman?"

This question confused Russell. He even thought about it seriously but didn't get an answer.

At this moment, the little puppet, divinely descended by the power of the God of Steam and Machinery, finally spoke: "You seem to be discussing something related to me?"
