Storm of Gods

Chapter 61 Royal Court Girl
The distant capital of Mondlier.

Above the royal city, one can overlook the sea. The sea breeze blows open the curtains, and sunlight falls on the young girl. Her slender feet and fair legs are gently crossed. A white veil conceals her graceful figure. A lazy cat lies on the soft carpet, squinting its eyes and enjoying the morning. Outside the door, the maids are waiting quietly.

His Highness usually gets up very early, so it's unusual for him to get up late today.

After leaving the Zodiac Plate, Estella also woke up from her dream and discussed the situation in detail with Chris. Chris set off immediately, and Estella was excited for a while before falling asleep. She liked the feeling of being able to help her friend. It was a pity that she couldn't be there in person, but she had already told Chris to describe the situation to her in detail when she returned.

I heard that Tianjing has a different look. Historical records show that a man named Luther was elected Grand Consul of the Lilong United Kingdom and started a revolutionary wave. He created a monarchical parliamentary system, with the king becoming a symbol and power being handed over to the parliament that represents the people. In Montaleta, this is a great treason and inconceivable thing, but Estella is full of curiosity. What kind of country is this? Why did such a person come into being? And why was he able to succeed?
Hextech technology is now quite common in Montecrita. Initially met with resistance, the Academy now offers related courses, and the country has also imported Hextech airships, large manned and cargo-carrying aircraft that look funny and amazing, though they fly a bit slowly. There are also fun Hextech magic-sealing guns, but unfortunately, she can only look at them; her mother is adamant about not letting her touch them. However, she always thinks these Hextech guns are incredibly cool.

What kind of country could give birth to so many amazing things?
What is Mr. Gemini like? He seems like a very knowledgeable person with a lot of stories to tell.

Meow~ Meow~~~
Estella felt a tickle in her nose and heard a gentle meow in her ear. Her long, naturally curly eyelashes blinked, and she opened her eyes. She covered her red lips with her small, white hands, lazily stretching her slender waist. The white veil on her body tilted, revealing her long, snow-white neck and smooth, porcelain-like collarbone. The shape of the veil undulating in the wind was the graceful posture of a young girl.

Her little hand stroked Klee's lips. "Are you hungry?"

meow~~
Klee nodded, and Estella glanced at the clock. "Ah, it's almost noon! Get up!"

She jumped down with her bare, white feet. After a knock at the door, the maids who had been waiting outside entered one after another. "Your Highness..."

Her Highness's busy morning...

……

The Myriad Caves City in the Kalima region is a typical highland loess area, very suitable for digging tunnels. Over thousands of years, it has formed a complex underground cave structure, making it a particularly famous cave city on the Daoyuan Continent. Countless tunnels are connected, leading in all directions. It has a population of hundreds of thousands and is also a well-known black market, where large organizations and intelligence agencies from all over the Daoyuan Continent gather.

Cantona's safe house is located here, where he's playing the game of hiding in plain sight. He's caused quite a stir this time, raising his bounty to another level and significantly increasing the Wind and Fire Brigade's notoriety.

Cantona's chest was wrapped in thick bandages in the secret room. The room was filled with the strange smell of an unknown medicine, and there were many bottles and jars on the table. Generally speaking, healing potions don't smell very good.

Cantona himself is skilled at configuration. He has become a good doctor through long illness. The bounty hunters are either hunting or being hunted. Getting injured is commonplace. Knowing how to treat diseases can save lives in many cases. In fact, the best thing is to find an awakened person with healing abilities, which is the best for recovery. However, the risks are also huge. Not to mention in other places, even in the Myriad Caves City, those awakened people with slightly better healing abilities are definitely being targeted.

Therefore, Cantona preferred a slower, more cautious approach. His opponent's final counterattack was extremely sharp, stemming from the secret technique of the Soul-Draining Heart—Sacrifice. Faced with such a counterattack, he could only fight to the death, albeit using "Burning Blood," which was slightly better than Sacrifice. It was a case of inflicting heavy losses on both sides, but fortunately, he had far more experience in risking his life than the noble knight. It was just that slight difference that saved his life. However, the noble knight possessing the Soul-Draining Heart must be from a prominent family, and Cantona needed to lay low for a while. If he hadn't gained some insight, this deal would have been a huge loss. The information from his supplier was inaccurate, and now was not the time to settle scores; everything had to wait until his injuries healed.

Once the mission was completed, all members of the brigade immediately went into hiding, awaiting his next instructions.

The process of recovering from injury was undoubtedly agonizing, but fortunately, he had the Zodiac Star Chart to pass the time. The Star Chart was undoubtedly a divine artifact, and it must have hidden secrets and power. If he could learn it, it would make up for his shortcomings in this area. Although the pilgrimage group would come into contact with some high-end items, they were basically not his own, and their foundation was incomparable to that of the upper class. Any top-tier divine artifact could guide mortals, and the process of contacting and understanding it was the process of becoming stronger.

How much one can absorb depends on their individual comprehension. Miss Aries may seem a bit naive and innocent, but her comprehension is truly terrifying, and she is also quite daring. She dares to recklessly experiment with her own divine relics. You should know that most of the things that divine relics can sense are dangerous and do not belong to mortals. If one is not careful, one may fall into the abyss or have their soul taken away by an unknown mysterious force.

This is common sense.

It can only be said that Montaleta was truly blessed by Mother Earth to have such courage.

Being able to perceive the existence of the celestial chart in a conscious state is actually quite in line with the standards for divine artifacts. Ultimately, mortals can gradually grasp the nature of divine artifacts through exploration, and he can also perceive it, but he must proceed cautiously step by step in the process of trying to reach it.

Aries women feel no pressure about being promoted to a higher natal chart; they are more interested in satisfying their curiosity. Cancer women are capable, although they like to show off a bit, but who doesn't like that when they're young? Gemini women are a bit strange; they don't seem like weaklings, but they do appear weak, and their behavior is somewhat unpredictable. They're neither too old nor too young; overall, they are sincere oddballs.

As they have more opportunities to spend time together, they will definitely get to know each other better. In any case, the round table will start to look like it's really there.

Another member of the roundtable was raising fish. Damn it, as a seasoned veteran of the market, he was even worse than Casey and got ripped off. His few bright red carp lost their color after only half a day of raising them.

Can this be tolerated?
Since arriving in Tianjing, he had never suffered such a great loss. This was intolerable. By the time Li Xin returned, the person was long gone. This really infuriated Li Xin. But there was no other way. Time was of the essence. Regardless of whether the bird arrived or not, the fish had to be prepared first. This was very important.

But there really weren't any left in the market. There were plenty of carp, but the bright red ones all needed to be pre-ordered. Helpless, Li Xin could only turn to Qi Badao. They had a contact point in the city, and he asked Qi Badao to find a way, as time was of the essence.

Upon receiving the message from the black cat, Qi Badao immediately took action, and his men rushed to the underground city and various markets within the city to search for red carp.

In the past, a small knife wouldn't have been very prestigious, but things are different now. Many organizations have started to get involved. Serving the Knife God would at least make them known, and besides, the Red Carp isn't a Red Dragon. Where else can you find such a good deal?
