I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 54: Joining Forces


Celestial Capital Canon Law School.

Li Xin was still a bit angry. Damn Qi Badao not only freeloads at meals, but also gets a bonus. This guy doesn't have any sense, doesn't he know the rules of the martial world, to share blessings and difficulties? Next time I see him, if he doesn't cough it up double, I'll take my aunt's surname.

Old Luo is really a tough guy; the case has reached this point and he could have stopped while ahead. No wonder he hasn't been promoted over the years and has even offended some people and certain factions.

To go head-to-head with Montreal, after arguing with everyone while injured at City Hall, Luo Jin extended the deadline by five days, which also forced himself to the brink.

If it were him, he would rather let it go for now and plan later. If no results are seen in five days, not only would his credit be erased, but his life would be in danger.

Catching an Inhaler is the Night Patrol's job, but interrogating an innocent noble is a capital offense.

Joking aside, Li Xin truly admired Luo Jin from the bottom of his heart. Not everyone can insist on Justice.

Originally planning to lend a hand, he was sent away by Kathy, who said this was the end of the matter and he shouldn't get involved further, and should stay at the Canon Law School and see if he can find a girlfriend.

???

What the heck?

A girlfriend? He's still a child!

Now they're on the Dao Yuan Continent, who has time for romance?

In the dormitory, Lu Shuai, who was known for being well-informed, was sharing news about the Inhaler with others. Seeing Li Xin return, he immediately dragged him over, "How was it, did you see it? I heard only half of it was left. Lord Luo is really fierce. Everyone says he's one of Celestial Capital's top experts. I wasn't too convinced before, but now I'm starting to see it."

"I heard that Night Patrols are skilled in handling mysterious cases, relying mostly on their numbers in battle. Now that doesn't seem to be the case," Huerta said. "Brother Xin, what is your relationship with Lord Luo?"

"Xiao Hu, you're too direct." Lu Shuai laughed, but he had also gathered some information. After all, there are only a few powerful people.

"Captain Luo Jin is my long-lost uncle," Li Xin didn't hide it. Rather than keep it secret, he made it clear. "But the relationship is more distant than between you and the Grand Governor."

"Dang, I'm really close to the Grand Governor, he's my great uncle, simply put, my uncle!" Lu Shuai's eyes widened. On such a principle issue, he wouldn't yield an inch.

"The Inhaler's combat power is very strong, and the toughness of their body is beyond imagination. Even using spiritual ability weapons and the Demon-Sealing Spear isn't very effective. You need strong spiritual abilities," Roland said.

"Ah, Roland, do you have such creatures in Moncalleta? I remember your place is wealthy and stable. Cults wouldn't dare go there, would they?"

"It's the same everywhere. The more prosperous a place is, the more it's coveted. A firm faith is greatly tempting to the abyss. Legend has it that the abyss needs such power to break the Creator God's seal. But in our place, Funeral Attendants are very powerful. If an Inhaler is born, it's either from elsewhere or has been lurking for a long time," Roland said.

Lu Shuai was taken aback, "As far as I know, Philmy also graduated from our Canon Law School, and then joined the Knight Order. He hasn't been anywhere else these years..."

The dormitory suddenly became quiet. For an Inhaler to hide so quietly and grow to this extent, it's hard to convince others without some backing.

"Montreal is still the biggest suspect, but as long as he himself isn't an Inhaler, it's hard to convict him. Grand Wind Discipline Officer is truly straightforward and fierce, I admire him!"

Lu Shuai felt a bit emotional. Coming from a noble family and influenced by it, he had to learn political strategies from a young age. Handling things so boldly obviously wasn't beneficial, but as a young person from the Canon Law School, he greatly admired the Grand Wind Discipline Officer's integrity. Back then, Lu Shuai's Grand Governor established the Night Patrol with the mission that justice would always exist under the moonlit night.

Old nobility only cared about their own interests and power; only the elites of the new class could push the Kingdom forward.

"People like the Grand Wind Discipline Officer are rare even in Moncalleta," Roland said. "The nobility in various countries is pretty much the same, except Moncalleta's national power is strong and prosperous, which hides many problems. This is also one reason I came to Lilong, to see how it became so powerful."

"Haha, that brings up that familiar name. Only someone with his maneuvering skills could have made such a miracle."

But after the Inhaler was detained, Li Xin still couldn't make contact. Everyone felt a bit regretful; they wanted to see half of the monster, but now it seemed unlikely. The Night Patrol hated this creature and wouldn't let it go easily.

"Lu Shuai, do you know the Montreal Clan well?" Li Xin suddenly remembered the guy in front of him who knew the nobility best.

"Heh heh, you asked the right person. Viscount Montreal belongs to the old nobility, even more traditional than our Lu Family. They've been in decline ever since the reforms, just maintaining appearances. Montreal married a rich merchant's daughter, and in recent years they somehow became wealthy again. Oh, and he's very close to Count Zhao Xun, backed by him. That's Zhao Qing's father, who's not to be messed with. Zhao Xun is a member of the Upper Council and has immense power," Lu Shuai said. "Even the Chief Bishop doesn't stand a chance against him."

Lu Shuai laid it out clearly, and Li Xin roughly understood that Montreal seemed to have pledged loyalty to Zhao Xun, who was now shielding Montreal, applying pressure on the Church and Night Patrol.

"Cough cough, Ah Xin, keep a low profile recently. I feel like that kid Zhao Qing is up to something, let's not give him any leverage."

Since the Grand Governor's surname change, the Lu Family gained a little prestige, though not much. But that doesn't mean he was unaware of the old nobility's means. With someone like Zhao Qing, who was proud and ambitious, being publicly shamed, he wouldn't let Luo Xue be harmed for now, but how could he let them off? Yet recently, things were quiet.

Along with the Night Patrol and Montreal matters, it seemed that Li Xin would become the target of retaliation. He was indeed a bit concerned.

Li Xin smiled, "I know."

He actually hoped Zhao Qing would stir up some trouble, to see if he could catch a flaw.

Philmy is an Inhaler; when did his fall begin?

When joining the Knight Order, or the Canon Law School?

Originally, the Canon Law School seemed very safe, but now it seemed it couldn't be ignored. As for his relationship with Luo Jin, it wasn't really an issue. Who would take him seriously, and maybe it could even lure some fish to the hook.

Lu Shuai was right, Zhao Qing being so restrained was suspicious; it seemed he needed to provoke him a bit.

That afternoon, Li Xin skipped class again and found Luo Xue. This matter needed Luo Xue's help, so he explained the situation to her.

Luo Xue pondered for a moment, "You think the Zhao family is also involved in this affair?"

Li Xin smiled, "I'm not sure, but at the very least it could relieve a bit of pressure from Old Luo's side. I think this guy's up to something."

The two had a common starting point. There was only one President Black Rose, and from the moment Luo Xue rejected Zhao Qing, the two had to be on opposite sides.

Both hailing from the Secret Castle, Luo Xue wasn't one to be indecisive. "What do you want to do?"
