Storm of Gods

Chapter 58 Miss Freebie
The city hall staff approached, pinching their noses. "Lord Luo, this isn't in accordance with the rules. How can you lock a person and a monster together? It's too dangerous. Can you afford the responsibility if something happens?"

After glancing at the barely alive, still-tied addict, Luo Jin gave the city hall staff a cold look. "You can choose to stay and keep the Viscount company. I think it will be safer that way."

"Captain Luo, your actions will be recorded!"

“There’s no need for that. If it can prove my innocence, I’m willing. Although this child was framed, he still caused a disaster for Tianjing. After I get out, I will establish a charity fund to help the victims,” Mondlier said, then looked at Luo Jin and smiled slightly. “Lord Luo, I hope you will also contribute your love then.”

Luo Jin left, and it's unclear where things went wrong. Mondlier was too stable. If things didn't work out at the last minute, he would have to step in. Actually, the way to prove it was quite simple, but the cost was too high. After weighing the options, it was the only way.

In the Night Watchman's office, Li Xin had just made a judgment using dice. He couldn't directly determine whether Mondlier was a user, so he changed his approach: Luo Jin's trial tomorrow will go smoothly.

He has summarized two rules that are likely to yield accurate judgments: one is that it is closely related to himself, and the other is that the information is sufficient, but it is not too complicated.

Otherwise, the wobbly spinning of the dice can be considered as spinning aimlessly, and such a result is meaningless. All of this can be seen from the rhythm and shape of the dice's rotation.

According to information obtained at the roundtable, the power of divine relics should only appear after the first life is activated. His current ability is probably not yet perfect. In the past, during training, Li Xin would try to choose things that were more intuitive and simple to judge.

Regardless of the outcome, this ruling cannot be used as evidence.

Judging from the case, there is definitely something wrong with Mondlier, but since it concerns the fate of his uncle, Li Xin still needs to be cautious.

The dice landed on two points, a valid result, meaning there were no major changes, and tomorrow's court hearing will be Luo Jin's trial.

The outcome of the dice roll can be altered when significant factors are involved, but the more certain the outcome, the greater the difficulty. These two points leave Luo Jin with only a sliver of hope.

As I was thinking, my head buzzed, and a pricking sensation immediately surged to my forehead. Even after experiencing it many times, it still caused a tingling, throbbing pain.

Of course, not much reaction could be seen on Li Xin's face. The next moment, the Red Moon Medal on his body began to emit a warm light. The red light covered Li Xin, and the impending pain slowly subsided. His tense muscles gradually relaxed. Li Xin took a deep breath and watched the Red Moon Medal dim. Li Xin knew that this treasure had been damaged a lot. He had only had it for a short time, and it felt like it was about to be ruined.

No matter what kind of place the sacred land is, we have to go there once this matter is settled.

Feeling a tingling, soreness in his head, Li Xin slowly drifted off to sleep, but his sleep was restless. Just as he was about to enter a deep sleep, the dice shook, thump thump thump...

dong dong dong...

The dice began to shake, and the familiar call came.

With a swirling, shaking motion, Li Xin arrived at the Zodiac Twelve Star Chart. Under the starry sky, he met the other three people he hadn't seen in a long time.

"It's a pleasure to see you all," Estella said first, her joy evident in her words.

Cantona smiled and spread his hands. "I'm really happy. I almost didn't get to see everyone again."

Life in the tour group is fraught with danger at all times, requiring constant vigilance, but here in Cantona it is a rare opportunity to relax and be a normal person.

"Taurus, you're injured?" Christian noticed keenly, and the injury was quite serious.

Cantona nodded. "I encountered a formidable opponent. Fortunately, I've recovered quite well recently, otherwise I might not have been able to come."

"Is Mr. Taurus alright? Does he need any help?" Estella asked.

“Thank you, Miss Aries. I just need some time to recover. I’ll have to stay in the safe house for a while, and being confined here is making me a bit depressed. Being able to chat with everyone will help with my recovery,” Cantona said.

Everyone could tell that his emotions were still quite stable, even with a hint of joy. Although they didn't know what was so great about being injured, Christian keenly noticed that Taurus's third star was faintly shining, which meant that his mastery of the divine relic had suddenly improved significantly.

“I also have good news,” Estella said. “I’ve recently been trying to come here on my own, and I’m currently increasing the success rate. I’ve also made a discovery: when I touch the corresponding star with my mind, I might be able to summon everyone in. I may need to experiment with that further in the future.”

“Yes, I was successfully summoned by Miss Aries once,” Li Xin nodded and said.

"Oh, why didn't Miss Aries summon me?" Christian asked, puzzled.

“Last time I accidentally touched Mr. Gemini’s stars, and if Mr. Cancer and Mr. Taurus agree, I will begin the experiment,” Estella said.

“If it works, it would be a major step forward for our Roundtable. Otherwise, it’s too unpredictable. We wouldn’t be able to contact anyone in case of an emergency. Miss Aries, could you share how to contact the natal chart?” Cantona was very interested, especially since he was wanted and injured, and it was a good opportunity to study it. “Of course, I discovered it out of boredom. When my consciousness was immersed in the divine relic, I discovered some kind of thread, a very faint connection. Then I followed the thread and kept searching. Sometimes the thread would suddenly disappear, but if it didn’t disappear, I would come here,” Estella said.

A silence fell over the round table. "Miss Aries, your behavior is dangerous. The first commandment of secret affairs is to control your curiosity," Christian said.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Cancer. I will be more careful in the future." Estella actually knew this, but it was the boldest thing she could do.

“Miss Aries, do you mean you entered the horoscope while fully conscious?” Cantona suddenly asked.

“Yes, Mr. Taurus, this should be another discovery,” Estella said with a smile.

These discoveries gave her a great sense of accomplishment. In her daily life, she always had to be meticulous and was surrounded by praise, but those praises always seemed to be for her appearance and status. But here it was different. Others couldn't see her, and she could gain recognition through her own efforts and abilities.

These are partners, these are friends.

"Miss Aries is amazing! This is another major discovery. If everyone could do this, it would be incredibly significant!" Cantona exclaimed sincerely. "For example, in the event of an emergency, one could enter the Round Table to summon others for help."

Estella nodded in return, "Mr. Taurus, you flatter me. I am delighted to contribute to the Roundtable."

Christian didn't care too much, because he didn't think anyone else could help him. Besides, he didn't want to be bothered by anyone except Miss Aries, and if he really encountered any difficulties, no one else could help him. Moreover, he wouldn't encounter any difficulties.

Sigh, in the end I'll have to take care of them myself. Oh well, they were just lucky.

“If it can be done, it will indeed be more convenient, and as our connections become closer in the future, we roundtable members will also have private transactions, so this would be a good option,” Cantona said. He had a broad perspective. Although there are relatively few roundtable members now, and they are still somewhat wary of each other, as they get to know each other better, there will definitely be more room for cooperation in the future.

People and relationships both grow.

An organization that covers all parts of the Dao Yuan Continent and possesses excellent divine relics and its own power, and has the fastest communication capabilities, could theoretically exert a terrifying influence.

However, the other three don't seem to realize yet that Miss Aries is enjoying the adventure, Mr. Cancer seems to have everything he needs, and Mr. Gemini feels like he's missing out on everything.

Cantona glanced at the twins, who remained silent.

In the Dao Yuan Continent, no one understands the benefits of instant messaging better than Li Xin. Oh, there used to be one, but he's gone. But right now, he's in a position of being helped at the Round Table, so it's not appropriate for him to talk big.

Miss Aries provided some ideas, and Taurus and Cancer also plan to try after this meeting. They want to be able to reach this place stably first, and then try to call upon the corresponding stars. This is also a further understanding of the twelve zodiacal signs.

“Gemini, you don’t seem to be making any progress?” Christian turned to Li Xin, his tone slightly reproachful.

What's wrong with this guy? Is it so hard to open a life star? The key is that after so much time, and after I've explained it to him, since he can come to the Zodiac Twelve Star Chart, his aptitude can't be too bad. Even without magic potions, he should at least try to explore the sacred land, but his life star is still dim and without light.

He hates people who hold others back, especially supporting characters who can't be carried.

Miss Aries and Mr. Taurus also focused their attention on Li Xin's natal chart, finding no progress. "Mr. Gemini, haven't you tried the sacred land yet?" Cantona asked curiously.

Li Xin smiled wryly, "I've been a bit busy lately and haven't had a chance yet."

Looking at Miss Aries's star, the second one is already faintly shining, indicating that she has also made new insights and progress. As for Li Xin, he has made no progress at all. It's not that others are interfering with this, but rather that people suspect that the natal star is not just a guide to progress, but may contain other secrets of the natal chart.

"You need to hurry up. Your astrological chart might affect the entry of the next member. What happened that took you so long?" Christian couldn't help but say. The worst thing for a team is someone who holds them back. It's a pity he can't control the astrological chart, otherwise he would have kicked Gemini out first.

“Mr. Cancer is right. Mr. Gemini, is there some problem you’re facing? I think our roundtable meeting can help each other and make progress together. If it’s convenient, why don’t you tell me?” Estella’s gentle voice rang out.

Christian's eyes widened, but he didn't say anything!
Miss Aries should be called Miss Freebie, she's too kind and gentle. Interpersonal relationships shouldn't be like this, even among wealthy nobles. One who blindly accepts gifts without giving anything in return is a beggar, and the end result can only be a gradual decline. He hopes that Gemini can have the backbone to refuse.

"Thank you so much, Miss Aries!" Li Xin said sincerely. "I was a little embarrassed to ask at first."

Some people were so angry their mouths twisted into crooks.
