Storm of Gods

Chapter 29 Another Murder
The four walked out of the Black Rose base, and the people outside immediately stared in disbelief, their pride shattered. Weren't these the four idiot freshmen from before? Four went in, two were trainees, and two were full members?!

Is this wholesale?
The girls in line suddenly became very enthusiastic, their eyes shining like little suns. Almost all of them focused on Roland. It was one thing to be handsome, but to become a member of the Black Rose was another matter entirely. How outstanding must he be?
"Junior brother, hello, may I get to know you?"

"Junior brother, what's your name?"

"Do you have a girlfriend yet? There are so many beautiful girls around me, senior sister..."

The male students around them were green with envy. Were these the same aloof senior and junior sisters from before? They were usually so calm and collected, as if they were untouched by worldly affairs.

They would often praise them for a long time before they would give a reserved "hmm".

Lu Shuai couldn't stand it anymore and dragged Roland away. Watching others show off was more painful than not being able to show off himself.

Roland breathed a sigh of relief. "Is the enthusiasm in Tianjing really this great? It's even more exaggerated than in Montcarette."

Lu Shuai: ...

At noon, Lu Shuai, as the host, took the initiative to treat everyone to a meal to celebrate everyone joining the Black Rose, and also to celebrate Li Xin and Roland becoming official members.

"You two should punish yourselves with three drinks first. Damn it, the first rule of the dormitory is no playing dumb in the dorm. You've gone and tried to take advantage of your own brothers. Shouldn't you two be punished?" Lu Shuai said.

I thought he and Hurta were the best, but I didn't expect Li Xin and Roland to be even more valiant.

Roland smiled slightly and downed his drink in one gulp. "I've long heard that the dragon's roar is amazing. It is indeed clear and extraordinary."

Li Xin also took a sip. It was refreshing with a hint of fragrance, and felt like it was only about 20 degrees Celsius, which was very comfortable. "Roland, let's have a toast! Brothers, let's all have one together to celebrate our reunion."

"Dry!"

Lu Shuai and Huerta also raised their glasses, marking the first meeting of the four brothers from the Order of the Fathers.

"Delicious!" Hurta slapped his thigh. "Boss, give me a big bowl."

"Wine glasses and such are too inadequate," Lu Shuai quickly stopped them, "It's noon, just a little something is enough."

"Alright then." Hurta scratched his head sheepishly. He always forgot about the important matter once he started drinking. The Saxons are known for their love of alcohol.

"Sigh, I thought my life at the Faculty Academy would be unparalleled, but I didn't expect to find someone as handsome and fierce as Roland. Fortunately, he's my own brother," Lu Shuai had already let it go, he couldn't compare. "More than ten times, you're too fierce, are you going to be eliminated?"

Roland nodded slightly, and both Luis and Huerta immediately showed surprise and envy. Awesome.

"Cough cough cough," Lu Shuai wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth, "You... you're not leaving any way out for the others, are you? Handsome and good at fighting, waaaaah, are you here to choose a concubine?"

Roland shook his head and pointed to Li Xin, who was engrossed in eating, "That's what you call a hidden talent."

Roland had already made a name for himself in Montcarette, and it's no surprise that he joined the Black Rose, no matter where he is.

With a large pork knuckle stuffed in his mouth, Li Xin chewed it a few times with gusto. "Don't shift the blame. I've never even been to the Sacred Land."

Roland smiled and said, "Whether or not you went to the Sacred Land has nothing to do with your strength. I trust President Luo Xue's judgment."

Li Xin smiled wryly, "I'm also someone with connections."

It's probably Luo Jin who pushed hard. Entering the Rose Society brings great convenience, and even if it's not for the mission, it's a huge help for the future. This cheap uncle is really something else. Is he implying that he should give his cheap aunt more push? He's all talk and no action, what an old man.

Lu Shuai immediately understood. It was probably his long-lost uncle. To be able to make such a special exception, he might be a high-ranking member of the Order of the Instruction, or even an illegitimate child. It was not a matter to ask questions.

Li Xin didn't brush them off, but this kind of thing shouldn't be spread around, so Lu Shuai quickly changed the subject, "Roland, unleash your charm, but remember to give the brothers a sip of soup, don't suck all the girls away."

Roland was both amused and exasperated. "I have no interest in romance. I came to Tianjing to study. It has the best Hextech technology. Although Montereyta doesn't value it much yet, I think the future of Daoyuan Continent lies in Hextech."

"Haha, very good. How can we indulge in personal feelings after coming all this way? A real man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. We should build a great career like the great Archon Luther!" Luther suddenly became excited. If Roland didn't pursue him, wouldn't he be able to act as a shill?

"Starting from becoming a prince consort?" Hurta suddenly said seriously.

"Damn, Hurta, you're so cunning. I've never seen you remember things so well."

Everyone laughed, and the pleasant lunch came to an end. Lu Shuai wanted to go home to report the good news and make some money along the way. As a rich second-generation, instead of thinking about starting a business, it would be better to take care of his family, which would bring in money faster and more safely.

Hurta has his own Saxon gatherings, and there are Saxon groups in the ecclesiastical council. Hurta is also very proud to be a candidate for the Black Rose. Sharing happiness is worse than keeping it to oneself.

The next few days will be dedicated to the courses at the Faculty of Knowledge. Psionic and Hextech are the main subjects, with a large number of courses covering these areas. As for subjects like art, these are electives with less stringent requirements.

Before he knew it, it was the weekend, and Li Xin naturally had to go home. After not seeing her for a few days, he felt that Xueyin had grown taller again, and Aunt Fei had started to pay more attention to skincare. The young woman was exuding charm at an incredible rate. What could he do? She was getting more beautiful every day.

Surprisingly, Aunt Kongxiang was also there.

"Xueyin, what's she doing here? Doesn't she have a home?"

“When you’re not home, Cassie comes over to play all the time and brings me lots of delicious food and fun things. Humph, she’s much more generous than you.”

"Oh dear, you ungrateful little darling, let me give you a beating!"

I learned from Yukine that Aunt Fei and Casey have a lot in common and are incredibly compatible.

"Why didn't you invite Uncle Luo over for dinner today? You don't care about him at all," Li Xin said with a smile. He didn't object to Casey's frequent visits; he liked it when she brought her own food money.

This time, Casey didn't refute, but sighed softly, "I don't have time right now."

"Oh, what happened?" Li Xin sensed that Casey seemed to be under a lot of pressure.

Casey smiled helplessly. "You're not an outsider, and the captain told me not to tell you, but it's good to give you a heads-up. There have been a lot of missing persons cases in the city lately, even more serious than the Lickers last time. They leave no trace each time they commit a crime..."

"Xueyin, go do your homework after you finish eating," Lin Fei said. Xueyin was listening intently, and there was a monster, a big monster, with who knows how many legs it had. Seeing Lin Fei's stern eyes, she could only pout and leave with a resentful look on her face.

“Casey, please continue. How could there be no trace at all? The Night Patrol has expert trackers,” Li Xin said. Luo Jin himself was a well-known expert in this area and might even have related abilities.

“I don’t know about that. I’m not a frontline night patrolman. Anyway, all the team members were out. Every time this guy commits a crime, it’s accompanied by fog. When the fog disappears, he disappears too, and witnesses can’t see him clearly,” Casey said.

"Who are the victims? What do they have in common?" Li Xin asked.
