Mystery: Chaos Path

"Me?" Roland smiled, propping his chin with one hand. He looked at Uroboros and suddenly shook his head, saying, "I don't really want anything in particular..."

This was a lie. Roland certainly had many things he wanted: money, knowledge, power, friends, fun, and so on. However, he wasn't prepared to ask the True Creator for these things, even if he could afford the price.

Because having one's desires figured out is a very dangerous thing. At least for now, Roland wasn't ready to frankly display his desires before the True Creator. After all, the Creator's group wasn't as trustworthy as Klein and the others.

Roland could cooperate with the True Creator to a limited extent, but that was all.

Uroboros was taken aback for a moment, seemingly not expecting such an answer. This caused Him to frown, as if troubled.

"Why bother fooling the Great Serpent? He's already stupid enough. You're just making him even dumber by fooling him like that," Medici said at this moment. The War Angel's red eyes stared directly into Roland's eyes, seemingly wanting to see through his soul.

He said, "You're not a person without desires. At least you're very interested in both me and this dumb snake."

Roland chuckled upon hearing this, and calmly said, "I am indeed very interested in both of you. Or rather, anyone with curiosity wouldn't be indifferent to two Angel Kings."

"Tsk!" Medici clicked his tongue. He could tell that Roland's interest in them was more than just what he said, but due to a lack of key information, even the War Angel found it difficult to draw an accurate conclusion.

Roland, at this moment, seemed to have thought of something and revealed a realization, saying, "Oh, right, I do have a request."

"What request?" Uroboros asked.

"I have some minor grudges with Amon, so..." Roland said, revealing a bright smile, "Join me in cleaning up Amon next time. That's the content of our next transaction."

Uroboros paused for a moment, then nodded, saying, "Okay."

Medici, however, thought of the Time Worm that Roland had taken out before, and for a moment, he felt a little Schadenfreude.

Amon was also an accomplice who led to him being hunted by the Tudor family back then. Now that the other party was having bad luck, Medici couldn't be happier.

"Then see you next time, you two!" Roland immediately put on a 'seeing you off' expression. His gaze then fell on Medici, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Oh, right, Mr. War Angel, being 'tsundere' is outdated."

"Huh?" Medici really didn't know what he was trying to say.

"So, Mr. War Angel, you don't have to hide your goodwill towards me. I know you don't dislike me as much as you show."

Roland continued with a smile. This was the honest truth. After the series of events just now, Medici's favorability towards him was already around twenty or thirty points. This wasn't a very high level of favor, but considering that they had only just met, it really wasn't low.

Thanks to this favorability, Roland could now directly borrow the power of a Sequence 6 Schemer, which could be considered a small gain.

Compared to before, Uroboros, who seemed easier to talk to, only had about ten points of favor. Was it because his humanity was too indifferent?

Roland glanced at Uroboros thoughtfully, then turned his gaze back to the War Angel, smiling and saying, "Perhaps next time we meet, we can become friends."

"Hah, who would be friends with someone as vile as you? You should just torment each other with Little Crow," Medici rolled his eyes unhappily, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. He thought he had concealed his emotions very well, but he didn't expect to be seen through by the other party.

He was more perceptive than he had imagined.

Uroboros didn't think so much. Since Roland had already adopted a 'seeing you off' posture, and He was indeed eager to take Medici back to see the Lord, He naturally didn't delay any further. After politely bidding farewell to Roland, Uroboros left this safe house with Medici.

Roland then slowly tidied up the house. After cleaning up the traces left by everyone, he left the safe house through the spirit world and arrived at his residence in the Hillston Borough.

"So sleepy!" Roland yawned. After all the activity today, he had consumed eighty or ninety percent of his spirituality. He was really reaching his limit.

Roland didn't mistreat himself and went straight back to his room to catch up on sleep. When he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"Fortunately, I took a leave of absence in advance, otherwise I would have been considered truant..." Roland rubbed his eyes, washed his face with a basin of water, and finally woke up a lot.

Roland then tidied himself up quickly, and soon became a gentleman handsome enough to be on a magazine cover.

Roland also cooked pumpkin porridge for himself, grilled sandwiches, and warmed up milk—he was always a person who enjoyed life, and he would never mistreat himself when he could enjoy it.

After slowly finishing breakfast, Roland finally had the energy to take stock of yesterday's gains.

First of all, after a series of "provocative" behaviors towards the War Angel, fully finding fun for himself, Roland's Jester potion was finally used up, taking a little over half a month.

Considering that the Jester potion was inherently more difficult to digest than ordinary Sequence potions, Roland's digestion speed could be said to be quite fast. This was largely thanks to the heartfelt contributions of Palès, Azik, Medici, and other nearly-dead big shots. Without them, Roland estimated that he would have had to spend at least another month digesting the Jester potion.

While digesting the Jester potion, Roland also successfully obtained the auxiliary materials for preparing the Actor potion from Medici, and he would be able to advance seamlessly, without wasting any time.

Secondly, Roland successfully reached the next step of the transaction with the True Creator, not only gaining favor from Medici and others, reaping a wave of benefits, and being able to borrow more abilities, but also killing two birds with one stone, allowing Roland to complete his "beat up Amon" cooperation with Palès through this transaction.

As for whether Palès would recognize Uroboros, recognizing that behind him was the True Creator, it didn't really matter, because being able to drive an Angel King supported by a True God for his own use was originally proof of strength.

Finally, Roland also tentatively confirmed the attitude of the Angel King Adam. Although the other party didn't choose to show goodwill to him like the True Creator, he obviously didn't want to antagonize him for the time being. Currently, he was probably still observing, or rather, observing him.

"Of course, the most important thing is that I did reap a lot of fun in the process." Roland's hand rested on the camera that had made great contributions yesterday, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"It's a pity that Adam ran too fast, otherwise, wouldn't it be wonderful to have Adam and Medici take a group photo of eating hot pot together." Roland shook his head slightly regretfully, already telling an old hell joke.

He cleaned up the tableware and came to the laboratory on the second floor.

Now that the Jester potion had been digested and the auxiliary materials for preparing the Actor potion had been obtained, Roland naturally had to advance to Sequence 8.
