Storm of Gods

Chapter 19 Mr. Taurus

Chapter 19 Mr. Taurus
"Sister Cathy, I'm curious about something and would like to ask you. Does our Grand Archon Luther write a diary?" Li Xin asked casually while flipping through the newspaper.

Casey was born into a noble family, so he must have more channels for information in this area than ordinary people.

"Diary? What diary?" Casey looked confused.

"I heard that nobles all like to keep diaries, so the diaries of great people will definitely help me grow quickly."

Casey smiled brightly, "I've never heard of that. Don't listen to them. Nobles have rich leisure lives. They don't have time for such boring things."

"Hiss, that's such a pity." Li Xin's face was full of disappointment, as if he had missed out on 100 million gold lire.

"what?"

"It's okay. I didn't expect that our Grand Chancellor is such a serious person." Li Xin curled his lips.

Cathy covered her mouth and laughed. Grand Archon Luther was really different from ordinary nobles. Like a great man like Captain Luo Jin who kept himself clean, it was Grand Archon Luther who emphasized monogamy. It changed the previous chaotic situation and gave women dignity. All the women in the kingdom supported the Grand Archon. Of course, she would not tell those things to the simple Ashin.

With a clear plan for the evening and even for the next period of time, Casey walked away with a happy pace. Today she was wearing a pair of white leather shoes, which were slender, straight and full of energy. Looking at her back, Li Xin once again admired the determination of his cheap uncle. Looking at the box full of newspapers in front of him, there was a bit more joy in his eyes.

The Kamal region of the Daoyuan continent is located at the junction of many countries. Its geographical location is extremely important, but it is frequently plagued by wars and disputes over its ownership. It is currently in a suspended state, which has also led to the prosperity of heterogeneous groups here. People from various countries are mixed together, the church forces are even more chaotic, and cults are rampant.

The Kamal region is backed by the vast Silent Mountains. Because of the various awakened beasts, it is also a forbidden area for mortals and a paradise for adventurers.

The sunlight could not penetrate the dense forest. A tall and burly man in his thirties was fiddling with a campfire, on which he was roasting a large and two small fragrant hairless cats. As the wind blew through the dense forest, a nimble figure descended.

"Captain, the target has appeared. We are protected by a knight order of about 500 people, eleven priests of the Church of the Fiery Sun, and one bishop." The young man said respectfully, with a hint of excitement and worry in his voice.

Cantona glanced at the young man and smiled slightly. "Aili, what do you think about this deal?"

The young man named Ai Li raised his head and said, "Captain, it will be difficult, but as long as we complete it, the Wind and Fire Brigade will be able to move up a level, and your name will be heard throughout Kamar!"

Cantona laughed heartily. "Then do your best. The goal is strong, so we must be decisive. We must avoid the strong and attack the weak, and take advantage of the enemy's surprise!"

"Yes, leader!"

Rewi Alley is an orphan rescued by Cantona during a mission. He has been carefully nurtured and is bold, careful, and smart. He has grown into the backbone of the brigade.

The Wind and Fire Brigade, a well-known bounty brigade in the Kamal region, was carrying out a crucial assassination mission. The Knights, priests of the Fiery Sun Church, formed a large contingent. Assassinating a noble under such protection was extremely difficult, but a mission was a mission, and in such a place, reputation was paramount for a brigade's survival. He had already made plans for the mission. A brigade's mission wasn't like a military operation; it simply needed to accomplish its objective. Although there had been some minor complications, they had already handled numerous such missions.

Gently stirring the bonfire, Cantona was thinking about the zodiac and the three children. The four of them must have different beliefs. Aries's belief was most likely the Mother Earth, Cancer tended to believe in the Moon Goddess, and the new Gemini was not so obvious.

Following the first law of divine relics, divine relics are incompatible. Anyone can only own one divine relic. If a special situation occurs, either death or a divine relic is swallowed up. Even if it is the latter, the container will have to pay the price.

If it is not a relic of God, it is an artifact that cannot be contained and can only be sacrificed in exchange for power. The appearance of any high-level artifact is an earthquake-level event for the Holy See. Possessing the artifact of the main god is the foundation of a Holy See. Mastering the artifact can bring supreme power. Cantona also yearns for it, but he can control his desires.

But why would the artifact summon them?
The second law of divine relics: What you get is destined.

What belongs to you is yours, and you can’t get rid of it. What doesn’t belong to you can’t be forced. Everything is the choice of the gods, and the price is predetermined.

Of course, what they need is often not necessarily what humans care about. This is why humans are flocking to them. Humans in the Fourth Age have mastered the tricks of trading through thousands of years of trials and tribulations.

Artifacts are at a higher level. At his current level, Cantona knows that his understanding is definitely one-sided, but participation itself is an opportunity. Years of brigade life have taught him that those who are patient will gain more.

In a person's life, hard work is important, but it is often a little bit of luck that determines success or failure.

The twelve zodiac constellations, no matter which god the artifact belongs to, are all extraordinary. The more so, the more patient one must be. Mastering the relics of the gods is a long process, and the artifacts are even more so. Moreover, the process is full of crises. Anxious people will become experience babies, so he does not want the people in the constellation to engage in meaningless internal consumption. It looks good at the moment.

Of course, being chosen by the artifact is a kind of recognition in itself. Although the other three seem young and immature, they should not be taken lightly.

Cantona would respond to the call on time when conditions permitted. This was also his own opportunity. The only Seven Star Brigade in the continent, the Song of Hell, was so feared by even the country. It was said that their leader possessed a divine weapon.

At this time, the puffballs were roasted to a crispy outside and tender inside, just like the stubbornness shown by the family of three when they provoked them just now. Cantona had originally planned to just eat some dry food, but this group of puffballs actually stuck their butts out in front of him. At first, Cantona didn't want to cause trouble, but after repeated provocations, he had to improve the food.

The sizzling fat fell into the flames, sparks flying, and the golden skin exuded an enticing aroma that went straight into the nose. Cantona cut a few cuts with a dagger, and it was almost cooked.

He took out the salt shaker he always carried with him and sprinkled it evenly, then added some cumin powder. He took out the wine flask and placed it on the ground. With his hands folded, Cantona said solemnly: "Thank you, great God of the Underworld, for giving me food. Death is also my destination."

Then he tore open the pig's hind legs, which were full of lean meat. Golden juice flowed down, which whetted people's appetite. Cantona was also hungry, so he ate with relish. This delicious meal was also a way to recharge his energy for the battle that would soon follow.
