Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 43 Lucifer's Character
"It would be best if I could reach a cooperation with Miss Coconut Tree and obtain the relevant items from her. Otherwise, I can only try to hunt down members of the Rose School or cause trouble for a certain demon family. It's a pity that the Bound God has been torn apart by the Mother Tree, otherwise using items related to her would definitely be the best..."

Luo Lin thought so, and felt a little regretful, because the first two sequences used items related to the Angel King, and now he can only use ordinary sequence 2 related materials at most, which always feels not perfect.

"No, I can't be complacent! And it's not like there's no chance at all..." Rowling muttered. Some plans flashed through his mind, but he was in no rush to implement them. After all, he was still far from being promoted to Sequence 7.

No longer considering the advancement to Sequence 7, Rowling was eager to test out his new abilities.

So Luo Lin found a mirror with great interest. After washing his face, he looked at his original perfect facial features in the mirror, thought for a while, and then began to make fine adjustments.

A few minutes later, a handsome young man with night-like black curly hair and eyes as golden as the sun appeared. After Luo Lin's adjustments, his facial features are now more mature than before. If his original appearance looked like a young man in his early twenties, after the adjustments, he now looks about thirty years old, with clearer features and a little more vicissitudes in his eyes.

"Good, now I look only 50% similar to my original self..." Luo Lin nodded with satisfaction, then found some cosmetics and applied them on his face skillfully. In less than a moment, the man in the mirror, who originally looked somewhat like Luo Lin, looked no longer like Luo Lin, to the point where one would not be able to connect the two even if they were seen face to face.

Luo Lin carefully put together a set of clothes suitable for a mature man from his wardrobe. After putting them on, he took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from somewhere and put them on. This made him look even more like a gentleman.

Luo Lin then found a notebook that looked very ancient and mysterious, opened it and held it in one hand, while with the other hand he pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at himself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

Luo Lin then raised his eyebrows at the mirror, his smile frivolous and playful. He snapped his notebook shut, bent slightly towards himself in the mirror, and said with a smile:
"Hello, Mr. Rollin Zoroaster, I would like to invite you to be the protagonist of my new play, is that okay?"

He then restrained his joking and looked at himself in the mirror with a gentle and bright smile, saying, "Is there a possibility, Mr. Lucifer, that I am already the protagonist."

That’s right, what Rowling is currently working on is the appearance setting of “Lucifer Zoroaster”.

As for the rest, it is the character setting that Rowling wrote for "Lucifer Zoroaster" - in Lucifer's character setting, he was once a young man who traveled through time and space and wanted to lie down, but accidentally encountered Amon. Although he escaped from Amon's clutches in the end, he was "transformed" into an out-and-out fun-loving person and pleasure-seeker.

Of course, in order to prevent the "Lucifer" pseudonym from degenerating into a villain, Rowling still set some moral bottom lines for him. He is the kind of fun-loving person with a relatively high moral bottom line.

At the same time, the existence of "Jack Jones" is also a thread that prevents "Lucifer" from completely falling in the setting. The existence of "Jack Jones" reminds "Lucifer" that he was once a young man who grew up under the red flag. The homeless person from the same era has become the last conscience of "Lucifer", which is also in line with the routine, isn't it?

"I hope the Qilingos incident won't be forgotten by Butterfly. After all, this is the time I've scheduled for Lucifer Zoroast to officially debut on stage, and it's also my first stage performance as an actor..."

Luo Lin smiled, not knowing what he was thinking about. Then he stretched and said, "But before that, it's better to join the Tarot Club first. I hope Miss Justice can act quickly. I can't wait to be honored with the title of Mr. Fool..."

Rowling's expectations were not in vain, because just two days later, Rowling received an invitation from Viscount Glint, who invited him, Fors, and Hugh to his house to discuss some mystical knowledge with him. In return, Viscount Glint would take them to visit his own library.

This is a very reasonable invitation. As a person who has half a foot in the extraordinary field but is still a rookie in the field of mysticism, it is normal to want to learn some extraordinary knowledge from veterans in the field of mysticism such as Luo Lin.

As the saying goes, everyone has their specialties. As a long-standing aristocratic family, the Grellints' library might not contain many books on the occult, but it certainly contains a lot of hidden knowledge and history unknown to ordinary people like Hugh and Fors, making them very suitable for reward.

It can be said that if Rowling had not known it in advance, he probably would not have guessed that the invitation was from Audrey.

Naturally, Rowling gladly accepted the invitation and went to Viscount Grellant's villa with Hugh and Fors. After sharing a lot of knowledge in extraordinary fields with Viscount Grellant, the three of them were led to Viscount Grellant's own library by the extremely satisfied Viscount Grellant.

"You are free to look at the books here as long as they are not damaged. If there is one you particularly like and want to borrow, that's fine, but remember to tell me in advance." Viscount Greylint said very generously.

Luo Lin and others naturally accepted it with pleasure, and then dispersed to look for books that interested them in the library.

"Let me think, in which book would Audrey put Mr. Fool's name? Considering her understanding of Jack Jones..." Rowling's eyes swept across the rows of book titles on the bookshelf, and finally his eyes fell on one of them.

——The Rise and Fall of Solomon's Empire in the Fourth Age

Rowling walked forward and took out the book that had obviously been touched recently. He flipped through it with a slightly interested expression and soon saw a page of paper stuck between the pages.

Rowling deliberately showed a surprised expression, and took the paper in his hand with curiosity. After opening it, he saw a few lines of words on the paper. The top part was probably excerpted from a page of Russell's diary, but it was a bit irrelevant. Below it were a few lines of words written in Hermetic language.

Luo Lin pretended to be interested and carefully identified it, muttering under his breath: "A fool who does not belong to this era; a mysterious ruler above the gray fog; the yellow and black king who controls good luck? Alas!"

He had a dazed expression, as if he only realized what he was reciting after he had finished reciting the honorific name. His eyes widened, and he belatedly covered his mouth and looked around.
