At the port of Celestial Capital, Luo Xue was seeing off Karesi. Regardless of success or failure, Luo Xue was mentally prepared, but when reality struck, she was nearly on the verge of collapse. It was the affair of the Archbishop and Count Zhao that rendered the Four Nations Tournament insignificant, giving her a chance to catch her breath and adjust.

Karesi and the team returned fully loaded, with the Hex-Tech gun given by Zhao Qing and various gifts from Luo Xue, all packed in big bags. Unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to thank Li Xin, but she thought he probably didn't mind.

"There's something I think I should tell you," Karesi decided to tell Luo Xue before leaving. Otherwise, she would take more detours in the future. "It might be a bit unpleasant. Luo Xue, in the Secret Castle, you are considered consumable. The Luo Family is not a member of the Secret Castle Association. To be precise, most new forces, unless they're extremely talented, are considered consumables. But you were lucky to meet Li Xin."

"What do you mean?" Luo Xue's expression changed slightly.

Karesi sighed. She knew Luo Xue was proud. After all, entering the Secret Castle and coming out with a Divine Relic, who wasn't like this?

But it wouldn't change anything. She knew more. "In the test we participated in together, there were two kinds of people: the main testers and the assistants. We were all assistants. In each test, there might be only one or two main testers. They are the protagonists, not us. We're just given a number; I guess they don't even want to remember our names. Only these people have the Secret Castle's emblem on them."

Apart from the main testers, the numbers of others are meaningless, but some people would still be self-satisfied and self-deceptive, like Simmons and Kazi.

There was something Karesi didn't mention: even among the assistant level, Luo Xue was actually in the lower tier.

If Luo Xue could fully support Li Xin, without saying anything else, this Four Nations Tournament could have been won. Anyone who could get a mark from the Secret Castle is extraordinary, certainly not something this level could hinder.

"Li Xin, is he that powerful?" Luo Xue remembered that Li Xin was indeed excellent in the test. But winning a Divine Relic and leaving the Secret Castle was just the beginning of growth, wasn't it?

Karesi brushed her hair blown by the sea breeze, "I heard Simmons arrived first and even tore Li Xin's clothes in a fight?"

"Yes, Li Xin even asked me to reimburse..."

"Simmons' family is very old, and he is very slick. Maybe he had met Li Xin somewhere. So after confirming, he completed the transaction and left. He must have been very aware of his own strength and the gap with Li Xin," Karesi said, looking at the silent Luo Xue, Karesi smiled, "The ship is leaving, see you next time, everything is just beginning."

The delegation from Tibet left, taking the ship directly back to Tibet. It was also a rich harvest for Tessis Canon Law School. Karesi standing at the bow was also curious, what exactly did Simmons see?

At noon, in Pear Blossom Garden, Li Xin ordered a big table of delicious food, and outside, preparations were underway for the singing and dancing, which usually had large performances only at night, but the boss offered too much.

With good wine and food, Li Xin ate freely, drank openheartedly, and widened his eyes to watch. Finally settling down in one place, before becoming displaced again, one had to fill their belly first.

Qi Badao, knowing Li Xin was leaving, felt empty inside. Looking at the big table of dishes made him feel even colder. His thigh was leaving, the thigh's thigh was gone, what kind of life is this, grieving deeply while stuffing his mouth, this dish really doesn't leek, this wine also floats, "Good, a bit higher!"

"Don't shout nonsense, this is a high-end venue, mind your manners," Li Xin said, watching intently.

Qi Badao took out a bag, not big. "Brother Xin, thank you for taking care of me these years. I don't have much extra; this is all for travel expenses, don't disdain it."

Li Xin looked at Qi Badao, "Look at you, too polite." He said as he stuffed the small bag into his coat, "I'm going for a walk, watch the house, if anything comes up, go find Kathy at the Night Patrol. I've talked to her, gave you a Night Patrol covert status, makes things more convenient in the future."

The tears of the Sword God welled up, his thigh still cared about him, ah, with Kathy as a reliance, life in Celestial Capital could be quite comfortable.

The two drank happily. This time, Li Xin wised up and left first. He went out the door, opened the bag, and found a few dozen silver lire, but what attracted Li Xin were the two larger golden lira inside. Damn, Li Xin took them out, stroked them, and bit them with his teeth. He felt Qi Badao's friendship.

Although with Kathy's care, it's always good to have private savings, leaving enough for Aunt Fei and Xueyin for a while.

That fifty thousand lire also found its way back, for the Night Patrol's operational expenses, and the Night Patrol was conducting a round of Fallen screening targeting the Underground City's gangs. Of course, Qi Badao was a good comrade, needing care.

...

In the evening, Lu Shuai was hosting a meal. White freeloading days are always such a delight, making Li Xin reluctant to leave. Together with Huerta and Roland, the four shouted about not leaving until drunk. The failure of the Four Nations Tournament was indeed a bit of a blow, but the benefit of youth is a faster rebound. After all, the first appearance was the Four Nations Tournament, and Lu Shuai even won, a taste unforgettable for a lifetime. Once experienced victory and the focus of all eyes, it's hard to forget.

"I want to become a man as grand as Governor Luthor. I want to improve myself, train hard, win victory after victory. I want to be the king's son-in-law, I want to marry into a rich family!" Lu Shuai stood with hands on hips, eyes full of longing. The men of the Lu Family are always so unpretentious and honest.

"I want to be the bravest warrior of Saxons, I want to be the clan leader!" Huerta, who didn't get beaten up on stage, was full of desire.

"I want to learn the best Hex-Tech, to become the pride of my hometown." The top student of Moncalleta was still waiting for his stage.

"I want you all to achieve your goals, and then carry me to victory!"

Young, with a promising future.

The Saint's Grace delegation was on their way back to Dragon Capital. Simmons had some matters to conclude before returning to Moncalleta's Hedan from the port of Dragon Capital.

The muddy road in the rainy day slowed the journey. Simmons felt this trip was quite rewarding, never expected it was him, truly him. A slight hubris in his heart, this big secret even his grandfather, a Secret Castle Association member, didn't know. But why would he appear in a small place like Celestial Capital?

Passing by Blue Square City, which was also a large city in the Li Long United Kingdom, the delegation needed to change horses and resupply here.

"Captain, this damn weather is really hard to travel in. Should we find an inn to settle down first, have some rest, and hit the road tomorrow?" Lancer said, wondering what the captain was in such a rush for along this weathered journey.

Simmons also felt a bit weary, and a break seemed good. They were far from Celestial Capital now; he was indeed paranoid.

Upon seeing the captain nod, everyone cheered, and then the carriage stopped at a high-class inn.

With big clients coming in, the innkeeper immediately sent up good wine and food.

Simmons casually picked up a complimentary Hex Bird Report and read it nonchalantly. Suddenly, his hand with exposed veins and enlarged pupils as he was reading.

"A major Fallen incident occurred in Celestial Capital... Count Zhao Xun, heir Zhao Qing were purified, Archbishop Matthew, and Fifth Squad Leader of the Glass Dragon Night Patrol, Luo Jin, sacrificed... the Red-robed Archbishop of Moon God's Court has rushed to Celestial Capital..."

Simmons suddenly stood up, his face a bit pale, ignoring the eyes around him, "Pack up immediately, quickly resupply, we're not going to Dragon Capital, find the nearest port to return to Hedan!"

Simmons even shuddered as he spoke, too ruthless.

What a terrifying story!
