Storm of Gods

Chapter 266 Breaking the situation
Chris was rather composed. She raised her proud head and flew out to the balcony. Looking at the sea, her heart was surging. As a Golden Sun Feathered Eagle, she was certainly not so superficial, but the excitement in her heart made her want to fly thousands of miles.

"Chris, come back, come back, we need to continue," Estella called from inside the room.

After venting their emotions for a while, the man, the bird, and the cat returned to their original postures. Then, upon flipping through the newspaper, they discovered...?

Gone?

Meow~~~
"How could this be? What has he been doing all day? He's only written this much in a week. Is he even a writer?!"

Chris's thoughts echoed in Estella's mind, and the Sunwing Eagle was filled with resentment.

Estella then realized that she often couldn't connect Bird Society reporter Li Xin with Mr. Gemini and Mr. Utopia; it felt so contradictory.

"Another week to wait." Estella was also a little regretful. Treasure, oh treasure, what's inside? Will he be able to get it successfully? How will he carry out his revenge?
Looking forward to it!

Estella resisted the urge to go to the Zodiac Chart to ask Mr. Gemini for further information; it would be too impolite.

There was nothing left to watch; Chris flew away. She needed to calm her turbulent emotions by flying. The fish in the sea suffered, but the fishermen were very happy because they found many fish floating on the surface of the sea as if they were drunk.

Estella, holding Klee, talked to herself for a while before slowly drifting off to sleep, sleeping soundly and sweetly.

People are different. Some people are lucky from birth, and they stay lucky...

ding dong ding dong ding dong...

Christian arrived at the Zodiac constellation and sat on his noble Cancer golden chair, his back straight and his presence imposing.

...He was the only one who arrived; why were all these people so slow?

The second one to arrive was the lion. When Barty felt the call, he responded quickly. In the past few days, he had deeply experienced the effect of the wooden fish. It was very effective in resisting the delirium and allowing the body and soul to achieve balance. Therefore, he was eager to return to the city. This discovery was too important and could help many people. However, the problem was that he could not go back, nor could he go back rashly.

The third to arrive was Taurus. Cantona lived alone on a deserted island known as the Coffin of the Dead. He had not found the treasure of the Grim Reaper, nor could he get out. Fortunately, the gloomy island had edible plants and he could go fishing. Cantona searched the entire island but found no way out.

The fourth to arrive was Aries. When Estella felt the call of the Zodiac Chart, she thought it was an illusion and did not respond immediately. It was only after several attempts that she realized it must be a formal call for a meeting.

Li Xin, who is usually quite proactive, was the slowest. He did realize it, but he just didn't want to respond. At this moment, Li Xin was in bed hugging a big pillow, having a sweet and soft dream. Being interrupted halfway through a dream is very frustrating.

Finally, the roundtable members gathered. With the arrival of the twins, everyone stood up. The increase in members made the organization feel more formal.

"good evening!"

"Good evening, everyone. As is customary, let's begin with the sharing session." Estella's gentle voice rang out. It seemed like she could hear something magical again. Looking at Mr. Gemini, she wondered if he had even bothered to write his prepared remarks; he hadn't done nearly enough last week.

Cantona glanced at Gemini, hesitating whether to talk to him later. Although Cancer was also an option, Gemini seemed more suitable for discussing matters. Leo, on the other hand, looked at Mr. Gemini, intending to speak with him privately after the meeting.

Christian saw all of this. Although the fog obscured the view, these subtle details could not be hidden from him. In other words, the twins must have done something secretly without his knowledge.

Sharing? Christian was curious to see what they could share.

Li Xin smiled and said, "I've encountered quite a few things recently, and I'd like to share them with everyone and hear your opinions. The first thing is what happened in the Holy Land. If you die in the Holy Land, will the divine relics decompose and disappear?" Everyone fell silent. Leo didn't know, Aries had only been there twice and obviously hadn't encountered anything so exciting or dangerous, and Cantona hadn't dared to go to the Holy Land for a long time. Even when he was a scribe in the Holy See, he couldn't access the secret information about the divine relics.

Seeing everyone's silence, Christian coughed a few times. "Gemini, don't ask questions out of the blue. What specific situation do you want to talk about?"

“I encountered an angel in the Holy Land, or more precisely, a broken angel. After his death, the divine relic decomposed into ashes, leaving behind the angel’s heart. As far as I know, in reality, divine relics and original embryos do not disappear upon death. So, is there another reason for this situation, or is it related to the Holy Land?” Li Xin said.

This is a question that most hidden awakeners wouldn't care about. Most people are concerned with how to pursue power itself, but Li Xin is more concerned with some regularities, many of which contain the secrets of this world.

"Mr. Gemini, you've encountered an angel?" Cantona's voice was filled with undisguised surprise.

Angels are at least terrifying beings above the fifth level of life, overwhelming to their current level, and encountering such beings in the sacred land is generally extremely dangerous.

"Correct."

Christian curled his lip. The twins were showing off again. "Given the twins' situation, there's only one possibility: this crippled angel is already on the verge of death and has no intention of killing. You're really lucky."

“Impressive. Just as Mr. Cancer guessed, I thought so too. The angel's power is probably less than a tenth of what it used to be. Rather than attacking, it's more like seeking death. The battle angel of the knight's path wants to end his life on the path of battle,” Li Xin said with a wry smile.

“This isn’t a guess, it’s a judgment,” Christian said calmly, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips. “Gemini isn’t without his merits, at least he’s not stubborn. The fact that he left behind the Angel’s Heart shows that he has steadfastly upheld the path of a knight from beginning to end, without falling into depravity. That’s quite rare even in the Holy Land. Your luck is unparalleled.”

"Divine relics should be inheritable, right? How could they disappear?" Estella asked curiously, after all, she herself was an inheritor of a divine relic.

“Miss Aries, divine relics can be inherited, but there is a set of order for their existence and birth,” Christian’s voice was patient and gentlemanly. “There are many factors that determine the demise of a divine relic. In the case of Gemini, it is probably because the divine relic itself has reached its limit.”

Li Xin pursed his lips and swallowed back the question he wanted to ask. However, Miss Aries seemed to know what he was thinking. "Mr. Cancer, besides one's own limits, is it related to the environment?"

Christian tilted his head slightly. "Of course, divine relics are easily destroyed in sacred places, which is determined by their nature. They are relatively better off on the continent of Valland. However, divine relics themselves are very easy to dissipate and require special preservation methods. A carrier is one of the more convenient methods."

"As expected of Mr. Cancer, the most learned person in our Roundtable," Cantona praised.

“Not at all, just a little common sense,” Christian said calmly.

"Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Cancer." Estella stood up and bowed.

Christian stood up gracefully in return, "Miss Aries, you're too kind. It's my pleasure."

Christian felt a sense of satisfaction as he sat back down in his chair; this was the kind of atmosphere a roundtable meeting should have.

“Mr. Gemini, Ms. Aries, Mr. Cancer, Mr. Taurus, I have a question I would like to ask you,” Barty said.

“Mr. Leo, please speak,” Miss Aries responded gently, while Cancer raised his proud head.

“I’ve found a way to possibly stop the delirium, and now I want to leave the lighthouse and go back to the city,” Batti asked. “According to the laws of the city of Tiva, it is an extremely serious crime for a lamplighter to leave the lighthouse and return to the city without permission. Not only will his relatives be implicated, but his entire community will also be affected. Is there a safe way to go back?”
