Storm of Gods

Chapter 59 Chris

“Mr. Gemini, please don’t be shy. Tell everyone that since we’ve come together here by chance, exchanging information or solving problems is fine as long as it’s voluntary,” Cantona said cheerfully. Trust between people is built up step by step.

His bounty mission did encounter some unexpected events. There was a master in the Knights who had mastered the "Heart of Soul Drain." Such a madman was terrifying. He used "Sacrifice" without hesitation. But it was precisely because of this life-or-death battle that he survived and gained great insights. All that was left was the final step. He had been stuck at this step for six years, and he was in a very good mood.

“We have indeed encountered a tricky situation. I wonder if anyone has a way to verify whether someone is a degenerate?” Li Xin asked.

"The Fallen?"

Everyone was taken aback. This didn't seem like a difficult task, did it?
“Are there any restrictions on verification?” Christian asked.

Li Xin nodded. "Mr. Cancer is right. The other party has a certain status, so we can't use magic potions or attack directly. It's best to let him reveal himself naturally."

“That’s a bit troublesome. Lower-level Fallen Ones are easy to identify, but once they reach the level of a Drowsy One, some methods are needed. I usually use brutal methods here,” Cantona said, stabbing himself in the heart, not mentioning such bloody methods in front of Miss Aries.

"To be honest, time is of the essence, and violence won't work," Li Xin said. If he could use ruthless methods, things would be much simpler.

“Lickers certainly don’t need to go through all that trouble. They’re at least suckers. It’s not impossible to do it without using potions and without inflicting fatal damage. There are at least three ways to do it.” Christian raised his chin slightly and held up three fingers, instantly attracting the attention of the other three.

“Mr. Cancer, please enlighten me,” Li Xin asked hurriedly.

“Patriarchs and above of the major Vatican can do it, preachers are very effective against these monsters, some special divine treasures and first-level sealed artifacts can do it, and some special spirit beasts can also do it. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people with special divine relics can also distinguish them, and even make the fallen ones manifest,” Christian said eloquently.

The roundtable fell silent. Li Xin was speechless. The Patriarch was the superior of the superior of his own superior.

Divine treasures, first-level sealed artifacts... spirit beasts?
Does Qi Badao's sly black cat count?

Christian looked at the silent twins, quite satisfied with the effect, and a smile appeared on his lips. "If we are close enough and the timing is right, I have a way to handle this."

There is indeed a solution, but it requires too much resources and effort. Gemini couldn't afford to pay it back even if he risked his life. If Miss Aries needs it, he might consider it.

“Mr. Gemini, how much time do you have left?” Cantona asked.

"Let's say one day at most, the sooner the better," Li Xin said.

The roundtable fell silent again. Christian felt a pang of pity for the twins. They should be low-level employees, with a very limited and restrictive position, yet they still had to deal with such clandestine matters and do such low-level, dirty, and tiring work.

As a supporting character at the roundtable, he was somewhat incompetent, which failed to highlight his greatness.

“Mr. Gemini, I should have a way, if we’re not too far apart,” Estella said.

???

“Miss Aries, please be careful,” Christian cautioned. Without knowing the other party, any of the methods mentioned above carried great risks. He understood Aries’ good intentions, but some resources belonged to the family, not to her personally.

"Mr. Gemini, which one do you need?" Estella considered it for a moment and felt that it shouldn't be a big problem.

The round table fell silent again.

Actually, Li Xin had already given up at this point. Putting aside whether it would work or not, it was a long-term solution that wouldn't solve his immediate problem. As for the favor, he was thick-skinned enough to owe it and repay it slowly. But he hadn't expected Miss Aries to have a solution. Another option?
Cancer had already perked up his ears; he was skeptical, but that wretched Taurus actually wanted to leave the two of them some space to talk alone?

Really speechless.

To allow a nobleman to leave the stage at such a crucial moment.

When Ms. Aries mentioned having a solution, Cantona suggested that he and Cancer leave first, leaving room for the two to continue their in-depth discussion. This would inevitably involve some sensitive information and transaction details, and for the sake of better cooperation in the future, sufficient confidentiality should be maintained. Mutual respect is the foundation for the continuous development of a secretive organization.

After Taurus and Cancer left, Aries felt much more relaxed. After having a deep conversation about music with Gemini last time, she felt a greater sense of familiarity and was very at ease.

“Mr. Gemini, if you are in the Eastern Continent of Daoyuan, I can deliver you within a day, no matter where you are,” Estella said.

Li Xin opened his mouth, then suddenly thought of the teleportation array in the secret fortress. Perhaps he was just being naive.

“Miss Aries, I am in Tianjing, the capital of the Lilong United Kingdom,” Li Xin said.

Estella smiled slightly, "Tianjing is a good place, the birthplace of the Order of the Church, the cradle of Hextech, and I've heard that the scenery is also very beautiful. Mr. Gemini is at the center of an era of change."

Li Xin didn't know what to say. Miss Aries was right in some ways, but also wrong in others. The scenery in the dungeon was mostly garbage and rats. The most distinctive feature was that monsters would occasionally appear and eat people.

“By the way, which one does Mr. Gemini need? If it’s a Patriarch, it’s a bit more complicated, and I might not have enough time. The closest place to Tianjing should be Longjing, right? I can try, but there are variables. If it’s a divine favor item or a divine beast, it should be simpler.” Estella said while pondering.

The first option requires secretly asking the eldest brother to intervene, which risks exposing the secret, and the eldest brother might refuse. The latter two options are much easier if feasible. The second brother can steal the divine treasure, or she can do it herself. In any case, the second brother can take the blame later.

Li Xin: ……

"Mr. Gemini, what's wrong?" Estella looked at the silent Gemini with some confusion.

"Actually, I'm fine with either, Miss Aries. Just use whichever is more convenient for you." Li Xin felt that this wasn't a question he should be asking; it was too impolite.

“That’s great. I’ll have Chris go. If it’s just a consuming power, it won’t be able to withstand its power,” Estella said. The royal treasury also contains divine treasures, and there are many in the royal city as well, so evil spirits can’t get close. Taking things would be troublesome and easy to be discovered. Anyway, Chris often goes out for a stroll, so it’s like letting it go out for a walk again.

"Chris is?" Li Xin was a little confused. Who was this high-ranking bishop? Would she scare Lao Luo to death?

“Mr. Gemini, as I mentioned to you last time, it’s a golden-feathered eagle with divine relics. It will fly to you very quickly. Remember to prepare some red fish for it; it likes red. Five or six will be enough,” Estella said. “Not too few, not too many; it needs to maintain its figure.”

Is a bird that possesses divine relics and maintains its physique capable of revealing the true form of its users?
But Mondlil is likely a long-time addict.

Seemingly sensing Li Xin's worry, Estella smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gemini, it is an outstanding warrior and has been commended by its teacher."

Since things have come to this point, we might as well try anything, no matter how desperate the situation.

The two discussed some details. Li Xin sensed a strong confidence from Miss Aries. As long as the target was a user, it would be easy, regardless of the type.
