I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 419 - 11: Member of Parliament

Little Black said Brother Li slew an angel and even eluded the deity’s pursuit... He felt like he was hearing a fantasy, very skeptical if Little Black was lying, but this guy, though wily, wouldn’t make up stories about something like this. Even a cat couldn’t make it up.

He also heard that there was a great turmoil over in Hedan. Mainly because it was too big of a deal—King Ola the Eighteenth suddenly died, as did Prince Oliver, the second most powerful figure in the Moncalleta Kingdom, not long after. The relationship between the King, the Celestial Principle School, and the Earth Mother Goddess Court was quite complex. In any case, Hedan was quite chaotic. At the time, there was concern whether Brother Li might get into trouble over there, and the Night Patrol could possibly get involved as well.

Brother Li was fine, it was he who made trouble over there.

"Say what you want to say, stop hesitating."

"Ahem, Brother Li, um, did you really slay an angel?" Qi Badao asked cautiously.

"Not entirely, it was a Night Patrol operation," Li Xin waved his hand, "It’s good that you know, but don’t spread it around. It involves many secrets of the Church, and no one can protect you."

Qi Badao immediately nodded, "My lips are sealed, the strictest."

Justin chuckled with a meow, making Qi Badao a bit embarrassed. Justin still wanted to show off a bit, but got a glare from Li Xin, and the black cat indifferently lounged to the side. Since achieving merits, it also felt its status was different. It now looked down a bit on its old collaborator, Qi Badao, as it had mixed with the Ancient Dragon and bravely faced the Greedy Angel, becoming the pinnacle of the spiritual cat realm, with soul and body both elevated.

"I heard you’re now a member of the Lower Council?" Li Xin asked.

"All thanks to Lady Kathy’s guidance. You don’t know, in the Dragon Capital, without some political identity, you simply can’t get by," Qi Badao said. "Oh, political identity means holding an official position, a term also coined by the Grand Governor."

Li Xin nodded, "You adapted quite quickly, tell me more specifically."

"I just started, only know a bit on the surface. The internal struggle in Dragon Capital is very fierce, as you know, Lord Luthor set a rule back in the day that the Governor can only be a Beijing person. The current Grand Governor is Ye Shidao, has been for almost twenty years, renowned for his adept balancing and compromising, it’s said he is definitely stepping down next year. The most hopeful contenders are Nalan Jingguo from the Nalan Family representing the Free Party, and Hong Yan from the Hong Family representing the Justice Party," Qi Badao said. "In the Council, there’re two parties, Free Party and Justice Party. Lord Luthor was a Free Party member before, and the current Old Ye is from the Justice Party." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Li Xin also had some general understanding of the situation in the Dragon Capital. The Grand Governor forms and leads the Cabinet and City Hall, wielding administrative power, with the Council made up of the Upper Council and Lower Council, holding supervisory and legislative powers. Members of the Upper Council hold significant weight, and the Grand Governor is elected by the Upper Council, while members of the Lower Council can elect members of the Upper Council.

In the Li Long region, the Dao Yuan Continent is notorious for its long-standing wars, with powerful figures everywhere. The culture of the Beijing people has a deep foundation, abundant in combat capabilities, but internally, there’s never been a leader with absolute authority. The Saxon people are brave but lack strategy, living by nature, powerful but mostly in poverty and famine, while the Lot people are extremely smart and wealthy, adept at business, but have a smaller population and weaker combat power, always maneuvering among various strong forces.

The formation of the Li Long United Kingdom was also a sensation across the Dao Yuan Continent. The Capital Royal Family relinquished royal power, with the Cabinet and Council taking control, but the royal family had one requirement—that the Grand Governor must be a Beijing person to ensure the legitimacy of the Li Long Kingdom. The condition of the other powers in the United Kingdom was that the Grand Governor could not be a royal family member, to prevent a restoration, a balance that formed the current situation.

"The few Grand Governors after Luthor didn’t have much presence, Ye Shidao as Grand Governor is considered quite good, all parties are quite satisfied, feeling that after a strong leader, a balancing figure was needed, which gave opportunities to people like us." Qi Badao said, with considerable sentiment, never imagining he’d become a council member one day.

"You’ve progressed a lot over this year," Li Xin nodded, noting Qi Badao even looking into history and military strategy.

Qi Badao looked a bit embarrassed, "Not really, this is Dragon Capital, you can pull anyone off the street, and they can talk endlessly about a bunch of secrets."

"What about the forces in Hidden Power?"

"On the surface, the Moon God’s Court is naturally supreme," Qi Badao glanced around and lowered his voice. "It seems there’s some problem within the Moon God’s Court, the former chief Red-robed Archbishop suddenly went missing, some say he fell, others say he betrayed, or even died."

Kathy hadn’t mentioned these things, but Li Xin knew Kathy’s side wasn’t easy either. The higher you go, the more you feel the storm. It’s not as peaceful and sunny as it seems below; this wasn’t the level he needed to deal with.

"Aside from the Moon God’s Court, the influence of the Martial God’s Hundred Martial Hall is immense among the populace,

with many followers in the North and South Districts. Unlike the Moon God Church, the Hundred Martial Hall teaches techniques and methods for spiritual ability cultivation and is prevalent in the gangs. Virtually all gang leaders are followers of the Martial God, as am I," Qi Badao said, "Not betraying Boss Kathy, but following her orders."

Even though belief is free, Dragon Capital is where the Moon God’s Court resides. The Hundred Martial Hall is a bit reckless.

"How many people do you have under you now?"

"I brought over more than fifty people from the Celestial Capital, and recruited more than eighty new members, stabilized temporarily with Boss Kathy’s help," Qi Badao said.

"Do you have any specific goals?" Li Xin asked.

Qi Badao scratched his head, "No particular tasks, what I have is all small stuff that doesn’t see daylight, feels like it doesn’t make any difference."

Even if the Moon God’s Court wants to take on the Hundred Martial Hall, a minion like him can’t stir up much trouble.

"In the future, if you encounter tough situations, come to me first. If it can’t be resolved, then find Sister Kathy," Li Xin nodded.

Qi Badao was delighted; he had been waiting for this sentence.

"By the way, Brother Li, the General also came to the Dragon Capital. He’s at the Quiet Canon Law School, and he knows more clearly about the situation in Dragon Capital," Qi Badao suddenly remembered and said hurriedly, "The General also asked about your situation many times, but I didn’t say anything."

"The General?"

"Lu Shuai, we all call him the General. He also transferred from the Celestial Capital Canon Law School to the Dragon Capital, the General seems to want to revive the glory of the Grand Governor." Qi Badao said with admiration. Even though much time has passed, Luthor still holds significant sway in the hearts of the Li Long people.

"Oh, has he found a good family?" Li Xin grinned.

Qi Badao was bewildered, a good family? Suddenly thought of how the Grand Governor Luthor had also joined into the Potter Family, the largest Lot family, to become successful. This left the Lu Family still relatively minor, with the influence and legacy back then all in the Potter Family.

"Has he come alone?"

"Luo Xue, Fei Ruolin, Huerta, and also the three of them, the situation is a bit different. I heard Luo Xue and Fei Ruolin are in the Hex Divine Revelation Canon Law School, the headquarters of Black Rose and the best Canon Law School in Dragon Capital, while Huerta is with the General at the Quiet Canon Law School, also top-notch." Qi Badao said, "Should I contact them?"

Li Xin nodded, "Haven’t seen them for a long time, miss them quite a bit. It would be great to gather in Dragon Capital."

"Brother Li, where are you going in a while? I’m familiar with this area," Qi Badao volunteered.

Li Xin thought for a moment, "Do you know any place with a market that sells high-quality and affordable food?"
