I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 357 - 224: Miss Virgo

Under the starry sky, the proud Mr. Cancer once again attracted everyone’s attention.

"Could Mr. Cancer explain this technique to us?" Estella earnestly asked, wishing to understand what the Church was up to; either one didn’t know, or everyone remained silent.

"There are various purposes, hard to say. If you really want to know, start with the perfumer; he incorporates the purpose within. This retro profession is exclusive to the ancient Church," Christian said, glancing at Miss Aries, "When involving the Church, it’s best not to intervene rashly. This falls under the Church Court’s secret laws, very territorial."

"Thank you for the advice, Mr. Cancer, I will be cautious," Estella said, looking towards Li Xin.

Li Xin nodded. A perfumer, gosh, not another cruel secretive path, why are there so many dubious paths? There might be insights on the Earth Temple from the perfumer, but given the situation, the enemy surely knows, and it’s unlikely any move against the perfumer will succeed.

"Gemini, you’d better stay in line; with your current power, you’re lucky no one is causing you trouble already," Christian cautioned, initially hesitant to speak, but unclear if Gemini falls, whether there’s a substitute, fearing it would create a gap at the Round Table Conference.

Simmons held back laughter, what an outrageous situation — even Brother Li rendered speechless by Mr. Cancer, truly intriguing.

Simmons adhered to his family motto of listening and observing more while speaking less, remaining cautious towards others present, prioritizing familiarity over haste.

"I have a question," Estella spoke up, "Not regarding the Hidden Power; how does one define a good King?"

Some hailed Father as a just and excellent King, even the wisest in history, yet others criticized him as cruel and pretentious, undermining traditions and purging dissidents to consolidate power.

Having free access to Celestial Principle University’s activities, Estella encountered more information; beyond their own content, the university has a department for intelligence collection. Estella saw much negative material; Anthony and others are mere tips of the iceberg; at times, local minor nobles commit shocking deeds like the right of first night — women must spend their first marriage night with the local lord, prevalent in many places — absurdly, opposition arose when Celestial Principle School attempted abolition.

"Miss Aries, your question is broad; perhaps be more specific," Christian gently queried.

Estella contemplated, "For instance, is Ola the Eighteenth considered a good King in Moncalleta?"

Cantona chuckled, "Ola the Eighteenth has mixed reviews externally; perspectives vary, but a King remains a King, distinguishing good from bad is challenging."

Batty pondered, "In my view, everything on Dao Yuan Continent is beautiful, akin to a paradise."

"I consider him a good King; Ola the Eighteenth implemented several excellent reforms, fully defending the just order he established. ’Princes and commoners face the same punishment for crimes’ — a groundbreaking move, granting more opportunities for learning and growth," Simmons stated.

Estella gazed at Mr. Cancer, who remained silent momentarily, "I don’t concern myself much with matters outside cultivation; there is no absolute justice, people have personal interests and stances."

Initially expecting Mr. Cancer to provide a thorough commentary, unexpectedly, he showed no interest in pretentiousness.

Everyone turned to Mr. Gemini; Li Xin reflected, "For a country to develop means inevitable change, which affects some interests — either the privileged or the common populace. I believe the former is a good King."

"Gemini, your view carries strong personal bias," Christian subtly responded, "Everything stems from interests; absolute justice doesn’t exist."

Li Xin smiled and nodded, "Mr. Cancer isn’t wrong, though slightly pessimistic; the world is never fully just, but it doesn’t hinder us from pursuing justice. At any stage, as long as it improves the common people’s lives, that’s enough."

Christian turned up his lips arrogantly; a clear-minded person doesn’t fall into worldly affairs; this desire-interest muddle merely impedes the path forward.

Like Cantona and Batty, whether experiencing the bottom level or residing in the abyss, deeply resonate. Princes facing the same punishment as commoners? Such a King — Batty couldn’t even imagine; Divpo City has its ’Roto born guilty.’

"Ladies and gentlemen, just before Libra arrived, Virgo appeared fleetingly. Members unrecognized by everyone need to maintain caution and vigilance, avoiding private knowledge sharing," Christian brought the topic back; Gemini regularly fancies showboating over insignificant matters — Miss Aries is simply too innocent.

Everyone agreed, seeing no desire for continued sharing; Cantona proposed ending, granting Mr. Leo and Mr. Gemini private discussion space.

"Then, see you next time," Cantona stood up; Miss Aries and Mr. Cancer also rose.

"Goodbye."

Others joined in saluting and departed; Simmons attempted the group’s approach, spiritually responding, exiting the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc, leaving only Batty and Li Xin.

"Sir, many things have happened recently."

Batty felt some guilt in sharing his circumstances, "The wooden fish is very effective, aiding many, and due to increased mineral output coupled with no further troublemaking, the guards haven’t made it difficult for me."

Li Xin listened and understood that in such environments, any survival straw is eagerly clutched. Not being directly involved, they were indeed cautious; often, without taking risks, change is impossible, sensing Batty’s determination, deciding to help, "It’s possible, prepare the wooden fish; most likely, I’ll need to bless it."

Feeling he now serves as a charm or buff provider, glad to assist Batty; with experience, he’ll control it — as long as not drained, recovery is assured.

"Sir, I’ll wait for you," Batty stood and saluted, unsure what "blessing" meant but it sounded like empowering the wooden fish, reassured by the notion these powers come from the Sir.

The pair left the Twelve Zodiac Star Disc, leaving the stars dimmed.

Several minutes later, Virgo’s star shone brilliantly; a graceful silhouette appeared on the high-backed chair, exuding extraordinary presence, Miss Virgo gazed intently at the pages on the round table...
