I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 688 - 280: The Owner of the Wish Book

On the Night Patrol’s side, Li Xin was not in a hurry. Having just received a large amount of funding, it needed to be used well. Not only should it be used, but every Night Patrol member should also know about it. With experience from past lives, Li Xin was very aware of the importance of publicity, so he specifically requested one or two liaison officers from the other eight brigades. People like Longji naturally had no objections; their tasks were also heavy, and as captains, they couldn’t meet with Li Xin at any moment.The liaison officers watched Li Xin in the conference room as he explained the use of the fund to them, even preparing a blackboard to record every item.

"Please take note, next time remember to bring a notebook. We need to summarize each month and also require you to report. You can discuss with your respective captains the specific methods," said Li Xin.

The more than forty people present widened their eyes. It was said there would be one or two liaison officers, but each brigade sent more than two, including squad leaders and core members. This involved the actual interests of each brigade, and indeed, it was a substantial sum.

They paused, feeling as if it were an illusion. Was the new Shadow Owl captain planning to spend all the received money on them?

On every ordinary Night Patrol member?

Not for himself? Not for the Shadow Owl?

Li Xin took more than two hours to explain clearly, and so many people in the conference room remained very quiet. He didn’t know if these people understood, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Also, if you have any good ideas, you can suggest them. These are our initial plans, and there is room for improvement."

The people exchanged glances, still wanting to ask?

"Captain Li, why do you want to spend so much money on us?" suddenly asked a Night Patrol member.

Li Xin was startled, "This fund existed to solve the real problems faced by the Night Patrol."

"Captain Li, we know you have great strength, and we’ve heard you have a strong background. Are you not likely to work long in the Night Patrol?"

All Night Patrol members looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin gave a bitter smile, "Only fools work in the Night Patrol. What to do, I’m also a fool, so I can only work in the Night Patrol."

"Captain Li, where exactly is the direction of the Night Patrol? The Church Court and the Cabinet bounced them around. Many times, I don’t even know what I’m fighting for."

The conference room became silent; Li Xin’s gaze swept across the crowd. Where was the confusion in their eyes? What was there, was fighting spirit and a burning belief.

"The Night Patrol is the Night Patrol, it is the Night Patrol that believes in Justice, not a tool for anyone. I am just like everyone present."

At this moment, Li Xin realized that these people did not come for the money. Yes, if they wanted to earn money, they had many other choices.

The more than forty people present were the core strengths of each brigade, the backbone of the Dragon Capital’s Night Patrol. They had heard legends about the young captain before them; Luo Jin was the benchmark of the Night Patrol, and Li Xin was Luo Jin’s disciple. He slew the Fallen Archbishop in the Celestial Capital and defeated the Greedy Angel in the Dragon Capital, possessing enough meritorious deeds and strength. Despite clearly having better options, he still returned to the Dragon Capital and the Night Patrol.

At the Black Market, some had seen it, and some hadn’t, his defeat of Yan Tianguang, his match with the Battle Angel, making the Immortal bow their head.

They wanted to see with their own eyes the leader of the Night Patrol, their chosen leader.

"Justice prevails!"

"Justice prevails!"

***

Under the grand starry sky of the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc.

Mr. Cancer was the first to arrive, followed by the others who arrived one after another.

Everyone immediately noticed Mr. Cancer’s Life Star, those four shining stars seemed brighter than the others, as always, Mr. Cancer slightly raised his head, as if to say, praise me, praise me.

"Good evening, everyone."

"Good evening, Miss Aries."

"Congratulations to Mr. Cancer on advancing to Four Lives."

"Naturally, it’s a logical progression; the strength of our Round Table Conference has further increased."

"As expected from Mr. Cancer."

"Mr. Cancer, impressive," even the not-so-articulate Leo said.

For a moment, Christian was greatly satisfied, almost unable to hide his smile.

"Then let’s begin the sharing session," Estella said, her gaze falling on Mr. Gemini, and suddenly a wave of longing rushed over her.

On the lonely sea, Estella would think a lot every day. The closer she got, the more she missed, the more suppressed, the more she missed, all memories of the time together in Hedan.

Seeing that Miss Aries had nothing to share, Cantona cleared his throat, "The news about the Wish Book is no longer a secret; it is known to everyone in the Shadowy Sea Area. More and more adventurers are arriving in the Shadowy Sea Area to search for the Wish Book. The latest news is that the Wish Book will appear when a certain opportunity arises. When such a treasure appears, the sky above the sea area will display colorful lights."

"Nonsense, this isn’t a novel. The Wish Book itself certainly exists, only it’s unknown whose hands it is in," said Christian.

Cantona frowned, "Mr. Cancer is saying, is this a conspiracy?"

"I mean to say, the Wish Book might be somewhere in the Shadowy Sea Area, but it certainly has an owner, though that owner could have perished or fallen. The Wish Book is stored somewhere, with no certain opportunity involved. The real clues are surely in the hands of someone or some organization. Someone seems to want to stir things up to make those with real knowledge anxious," said Christian.

The others at the Round Table Conference somewhat believed Mr. Cancer’s judgment and also found that colorful opportunity unreliable. Those who own the Wish Book are definitely not ordinary folks.

"Many strong figures of the Fifth Epoch have fallen, and it is indeed possible that there are those who possessed the Wish Book. The places where these strong figures once were have special restrictions, but these restrictions change at the turn of epochs. The Barrier Masters and Prophets are able to detect or foresee certain trends. That is when the critical struggle will occur," Christian continued.

"As expected of Mr. Cancer, hitting the nail on the head," Li Xin immediately said.

"It still takes Mr. Cancer to enlighten us; we were almost misled by hearsay," said Cantona, laughing.

"Fortunately, we have Mr. Cancer, our Round Table Conference’s light!" praised Simmons, who was professional at flattery.

"Mr. Cancer..." Estella wanted to praise further, but found herself at a loss for words.

"Great," Batty blurted out beside her.

Though the praising standard wasn’t high, Christian forgave them, "If we have another person advance to Angel by then, we could even try to seize it."

Currently, at the Round Table Conference, there were two with Four Lives, three with Three Lives, one with Two Lives, and one little Angel who remained unseen.

Seeing Mr. Cancer’s gaze falling on him, Li Xin knew trouble was coming.

"Gemini, you must hurry up. If you are interested in the Wish Book, you cannot just rely on words. Regardless of your potential, the Angel is a hurdle. If you haven’t reached Angel status, obtaining the Wish Book would also be catastrophic," said Christian.

"I know, I’m trying hard," Li Xin said helplessly; Mr. Cancer was right.

"Since the Wish Book has an owner, does anyone know who its previous owner was?" Estella suddenly asked.

The crowd looked towards Mr. Cancer, Christian smiled slightly, "Miss Aries’ insight is sharp, hitting the key. I will try to find out, and have some certainty."
