Storm of Gods

Chapter 46 The Mysterious Murder Case
A squad leader of the night patrol died in broad daylight, followed by the arrest of Viscount Mondlier. The news reached the Council of the Church and caused a stir. A nobleman had fallen into the abyss and become a drug addict.
Of course, the case is still under investigation, and the truth will take some time to emerge. People are just gossiping and discussing it.

The development of Hextech has changed the original form of productivity. Urban populations have concentrated, and production efficiency has increased significantly. A new class is bound to emerge. The conflict between them, who have mastered advanced technology and interests, and the old noble class that has traditionally monopolized a large amount of resources and power is inevitable. This conflict and the power of the new class are Luther's trump cards in becoming the first Grand Consul of the Lilong Kingdom.

New era, new challenges. The Tianjing Order Academy once gained fame in Lilong and even the Daoyuan Continent by stepping on the old order. Now the order has changed again, and Tianjing is facing enormous challenges as well.

The Council of the Faculty of Education put a lot of thought into this election. The special recruitment was not just for show. As for Marshal Lu, he goes without saying. The Lu family's reputation is hard to refuse from any perspective, and Marshal Lu's own strength is also top-notch.

Hurta, a rising star among the younger generation of the Saxon tribe, was recruited with considerable effort by one of the members of the Council of the Church. With proper training, he will become a backbone of the Council of the Church.

Roland was a talent that the Church Council had painstakingly recruited from many cities that had previously cooperated in Hextech. After all, there were only so many people in Tianjing, and the Church Councils in other places were also keeping a close eye on them. Tianjing's slight advantage was its overseas connections. If it didn't use them now, no one would care about it when it fell.

As for Li Xin, he was strongly recommended by the newly appointed Grand Commissioner of Discipline, and the other committee members, out of consideration for their relationship, could not refuse the only request of this newly appointed Grand Commissioner of Discipline.

With their special recruitment status and official membership in Black Rose now revealed, the four have garnered significant attention, and there is great anticipation for their abilities.

Roland became incredibly popular within days of the start of the semester, not just among the freshmen, but among the entire Academy. During class, many upperclassmen would come to audit the lessons, making the usually drowsy Hextech class surprisingly lively. Many male students, even those who didn't understand, would pretend to be aloof and occasionally ask questions.

This left the tutor speechless. His classes used to be as quiet as a graveyard. It wasn't that he didn't welcome questions, but he disliked hearing silly questions asked in a serious manner, as if the tutor thought he was making a name for himself.

The fact that the "low-key" Lu Shuai is related to the Grand Governor has become widely known. It seems that idol worship extending to having a good impression of the idol's descendants is not unusual in Dao Yuan Continent. He and Roland have been called the new generation of peerless talents. Lu Shuai has already set his own plans just a few days after the start of the semester, getting to know a hundred vibrant female students and going on dates every day. As for what the dates are about, judging from Lu Shuai's recent habit of holding his back, he must be getting quite a bit of exercise.

Roland wasn't interested in the pretty, whiny female seniors. He was obsessed with Hextech and had a solid foundation in it. He not only attended classes diligently but also spent his free time in the library. He also became good friends with several Hextech seniors from Black Rose and was practically always in the Hextech circle.

Hurta, on the other hand, loves fighting. Not long after arriving, he often sought out his senior brothers to spar. He was either challenging them or on his way to a challenge. He was quite famous in a certain circle. As for Li Xin, although he was also specially recruited, it seems that everyone knows there are four of them, but no one can remember who the last one is.

Li Xin's focus these past few days has been mainly on the drug user incident. He didn't expect Kurt to actually die. Things might be more complicated than he imagined. It's possible that the drug user was ruthless and acted in broad daylight, but Li Xin's intuition told him that was unlikely. The other party had always acted cautiously and cunningly. Did he just lose control and become enraged because he discovered he was being followed?

The motivation is untenable, and the behavior is also untenable.

Kurt is fine, and even Luo Jin can't arrest him directly. But a captain of the night patrol has died in broad daylight. The murderer has so brazenly trampled on divine authority. Luo Jin will definitely not back down. At this time, the city hall will definitely cooperate.

Are you crazy?
I don't know. I wish I could see Mondlil. Li Xin was completely distracted in class, but Sister Casey had already sent someone to tell him that he was not allowed to return to the Night Patrol. This case was no longer related to him. He was to stay obediently in the Order House, or else Lin Fei would take care of him.

Luo hadn't allowed himself to go on missions from the beginning, probably because he was afraid of encountering something like this. Kurt's skills and experience were quite good, yet he was instantly killed. The addict and the licker are on completely different levels.

But things had already come to this point, and he couldn't just ignore it. He had a feeling that things weren't so simple. If Mondlier had run away, it would have been better, but this guy had actually gone to the church so obediently. There must be some other trick up his sleeve.

Sitting idly by and waiting for death isn't in Li Xin's nature. He needs to find Qi Badao. This guy isn't very strong in combat, but he's very intelligent and has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He still needs to take the Hextech course. Li Xin doesn't necessarily need to study it, but as it's the technological foundation of this world, he still wants to understand it. He feels it might be useful in the future, and he can also learn about Luther's growth trajectory.

...Well, after attending a few classes, Li Xin, who thought he was very smart, felt like he was a waste. If Luo Jin hadn't arranged a special admission for him, he probably wouldn't have been able to get in.

Those who liked Hextech and had a good foundation listened with great interest, even feeling as if they had opened the door to a new world. Those who didn't understand were restless and fidgety. If it weren't for the presence of many pretty female students, they probably would have skipped class.

During the break, Li Xin felt it was time to make a clever escape. There was a commotion at the door, and some girls in the front row even started shouting.

Luo Xue has arrived.

As the most prominent figure in the Academy, Luo Xue is an idol to many. Li Xin didn't know exactly why, but seeing Luo Xue and her group of people were very excited, Li Xin just wanted to sneak out of class. However, looking at Luo Xue's gaze, he knew that his idea was hopeless, so he could only say hello and leave.

"What are your instructions, President?" Li Xin asked.

Luo Xue smiled slightly, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I wanted to discuss the reception of the visiting delegation with you. This is the first time I've faced such a reception since I became the president. If I don't handle it well, I'll have to hand over the presidency to Zhao Qing."

"No, he can't beat you," Li Xin laughed. People from the secret fortress wouldn't be that bad.

"Some of the people who came this time were also released back then. What are your thoughts on that?"

“I have no ideas. I can’t handle big things, but you can handle the small things. Next time you come to me, don’t be so high-profile; you’re too eye-catching,” Li Xin said.

"Why are you keeping such a low profile... You're not planning to destroy Tianjing, are you?" Luo Xue suddenly asked.

Li Xin was both amused and exasperated. "What nonsense! I have other things to do."

"Is it the Mysterious Fog Murder Case?" Luo Xue had no intention of letting Li Xin off the hook.

The students in the classroom were whispering amongst themselves. What was Luo Xue talking to this ordinary male student about? And... the usually cold Luo Xue was actually showing a gentle smile, and her attitude was so friendly. It was simply unbelievable...

Some of the senior students who came to audit Roland's classes knew Luo Xue very well. Girls, if they are outstanding, they will definitely be thoroughly understood. However, Luo Xue was impeccable in terms of both ability and family background, and there was no one else to compare her to. Moreover, her cold personality and lack of flamboyance made her very popular among the female students. They thought she was here to see Roland, but it turned out to be... a guy whose name was something else.
