I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 544 136: Crisis of Trust

"Miss Aries, how reliable is this information?" Cantona couldn't help but ask. He had been mingling in the Death Church for a long time without finding any clues, and the Death Church was also searching for the Wish Book everywhere.Estella thought for a moment, "I can't reveal the source, but it's highly reliable. Of course, given the unique nature of the Wish Book, mistakes cannot be ruled out."

She had inadvertently heard it from her elder brother, who was astonishingly interested in the Wish Book.

Estella looked at Mr. Gemini and said, while Li Xin's mind raced. The Death Church had obtained critical information on the Wish Book, and its followers were operating in large numbers with the intent to resurrect Death God. Could the Wish Book also be a part of Death God's revival?

Everyone fell into thought, and Estella smiled slightly, "There's another piece of news. According to the Adventurer Association, a secret organization called the Round Table Conference has donated ten thousand gold to the Dao Yuan Awakening Children Rescue Foundation."

Li Xin's throat gulped, desperately looking at Miss Aries, thinking, could older children be included?

Though the mist concealed expressions, everyone's faces told different stories, leading to a deeper silence. Having wealth is one thing, treating money as nothing is another.

Sensing Mr. Gemini's gaze, Estella felt genuinely happy. It seemed she did well, even though her allowance wasn't much, she couldn't make it too obvious. Ten thousand gold wasn't a lot, yet it was enough to help quite a few people, just right.

"Miss Aries's information is very useful, but make sure to pay attention to your own safety," Cantona said. "I have a suggestion. Why don't we share and raise questions together, so we can better plan our time?"

"Agree."

"Agree."

...

"I don't have any recent demands; Mr. Taurus, please continue." Estella said. Having just advanced, her teacher also advised consolidating her foundation and not to rush.

Cantona nodded, "I'm still at the Netherworld Sea. I'll follow up on Miss Aries's provided information. The Death Church's activities are very frequent and actively pursuing the Wish Book's clues. If the Wish Book is in their hands, there could be a huge conspiracy involved."

"Taurus, even if there's a conspiracy, it doesn't really concern us. We're just interested in the Wish Book itself, not getting involved in the revival activities of the Old Gods," Christian reminded.

Cantona agreed, "I have a question. Why does the Church Court's ascension magic potion come with the side effect of becoming a Divine Favored? Even if one doesn't become a Divine Favored, they become extraordinarily devout?"

Everyone looked at Mr. Cancer, Christian slightly frowned, "Did you receive the Church Court's granted ascension magic potion?"

Cantona didn't hide, "Yes, it's for advancing from Three Lives to Four Lives."

"Don't drink it," Christian advised.

"Why?" Cantona inquired.

"No particular reason, but I advise you not to drink it. The same goes for the rest of you. Don't drink any ascension magic potion provided by the Church," Christian stated.

"Mr. Cancer, could you tell us why? Is becoming a Divine Favored not a blessing but a curse?" Estella quietly asked. From her father's experience, she already doubted the significance of Divine Favored's existence.

Christian looked warmly at Miss Aries, "Miss Aries, don't worry too much. Being a Divine Favored is indeed a fine hidden path. All paths are both blessings and curses, but taking the Church Court's specially formulated ascension magic potion won't make you a Divine Favored."

"There are records in the Church Court's texts that many who took ascension magic potions eventually became Divine Favored," Cantona expressed doubt. After all, the Nether God's Court is one of the Seven Great Churches of the Sixth Age, so records on this can't be wrong.

Christian arrogantly raised his head, "Suit yourself."

Cantona noticed the term "specially concocted." Does his potion fall under specially concocted? Apparently, Mr. Cancer didn't want to elaborate further.

Eliminating the possibility that Cancer feared his own surpassing, he himself had certain trepidation about this kind of potion, which is why he asked. Whether the Nether God's Court would specially concoct it was hard to say, given he had a teacher there, but the Death Church must certainly have specially concocted it. The fact that he took it was understood, and this should be the implication.

Damn it.

Need to run again?

If he doesn't drink, can he really leave Five Claw Island? Why is his life so hard?

As for the idea of taking both potions at once, it didn't even merit asking. Mixing potions is like mixing poison, at best it makes you mad, at worst monstrous. It's common sense, just like eating food recklessly isn't done, who would take medicine recklessly?

It was Li Xin's turn, "I appreciate Mr. Cancer's help. My last case is closed, and I'd like a chance to show my gratitude—dinner, coffee, anything."

"When I have time, aren't you working on a new case?"

Everyone could sense that although Mr. Cancer remained arrogant, his tone had softened quite a bit.

"Haha, indeed I couldn't hide it from Mr. Cancer, I'm just a working man, a new case has hit a bottleneck."

"Then take your time to ponder, the Round Table Conference isn't a work meeting," Christian said calmly, then felt it was a bit too harsh. "I mean, unless absolutely necessary."

"Mr. Cancer is right," Li Xin also felt his face heat up with embarrassment and decided not to freeload further. He didn't have any insights to share recently.

Christian looked at Leo.

"I've been diligently mining lately. There's a very deep tunnel, it might be a passage to leave Divpo City, possibly leading to Dao Yuan Continent. I hope to one day reach a world under the sun," Batty said. Besides mining, they were waiting for the Illuminati's action command. Bamuta said, since the warden had seen him, action was likely in the near future.

Christian didn't have any expectations regarding miner Leo's role at the Round Table Conference. What function could this guy serve? He seemed utterly useless.

"Libra, what about you?" Christian asked.

Simmons smiled slightly, "I don't have much going on lately, but I'd love to do some work for everyone. Mr. Taurus, regarding the Church Court magic potion matter, I can dig into it a bit."

"Thank you, Mr. Libra, much appreciated." Though whether he could hang on until then was uncertain, Cantona still expressed his thanks.

"Alright, then let me bring up an important matter," Christian adjusted his posture and his gaze turned sharp. "Miss Virgo has already visited the Round Table Conference, right, Taurus?"

The Round Table Conference fell silent at once, everyone simultaneously looked at Mr. Taurus. Virgo appeared?

Did Mr. Taurus know?

Why didn't she come to every Round Table Conference, why hide it?

Suddenly a harmonious Round Table Conference had introduced an uncertain element, potentially extremely hazardous. Would the privacy of their conversations leak, was someone spying?

The trust painstakingly built seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.

Cantona was stunned. He hadn't deliberately hidden it. It was just that he had promised Miss Virgo. How did Mr. Cancer know?
