I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 621: Chapter 213: Immortal

On another front, after Li Xin left, the banquet officially reached its climax. Lu Shuai, being a jack-of-all-trades, used to navigate smoothly even when he had a humble status, and now, when everyone wants to get to know him, he’s even more at ease, mingling with everyone and drinking countless cups of wine.

Events like these tend to get wild, though not as exaggerated as Hedan’s parties. Young men and women, full of hormones, are most likely to forge closer relationships with the aid of alcohol.

However, Ji Mingyue, Feili, and Patir remained very calm, as they were not ordinary women and despised cheap thrills. As for the rest, they didn’t care much, but due to their presence, others restrained themselves somewhat, although the dances became increasingly intimate.

"Patir, you’re being way too harsh on Hong Ban. If he decides to act, it might cause trouble," Feili said.

"I don’t think Li Xin fears him," Patir replied calmly, feeling a bit tired of the lively atmosphere she once enjoyed.

Compared to Hong Ban’s pestering, Nalan tended to restrain his possessiveness, giving Ji Mingyue some space, with much better control.

"It’s not about fear at all. Li Xin is a Night Patrol. Hong Ban has many ways to cause trouble, and I’ve heard something major just happened on his end," Feili remarked with a smile.

This is the advantage of having high status.

Patir frowned at this, realizing she had overlooked that point. At that moment, Feili and Ji Mingyue exchanged a glance, witnessing Patir’s unusual demeanor for the first time, as she usually enjoyed chaos.

Luo Xue quietly replaced Ji Mingyue’s drink with a cup of floral honey tea, an imperial habit.

Just then, a towering figure appeared in the banquet hall like a ghost. The spacious, high-ceilinged room, unlike Li Xin’s small chamber, was adequate to accommodate the Immortal’s stature.

Suddenly, the banquet froze, the excitement vanished, and everyone stared fixedly at the terrifying figure. Several present understood exactly what the figure represented, leading to a temporary petrification.

No one dared to move as breaths became heavy, while the Immortal made his way toward the three women.

Luo Xue quietly stood in front of Ji Mingyue, yet the Immortal ignored them and instead reached out toward Patir.

A stack of documents lay atop his hand. Patir froze for two seconds, finally realizing the dreadful creature before her was... Li Xin’s Messenger?

"Are you his Messenger?" Patir asked eagerly, quickly adjusting her mindset, even feeling a thrill facing such a powerful being.

The Immortal slowly nodded, and Patir felt a surge of pride, casting a glance at Feili. Amidst curious, envious, jealous, fearful gazes, she stored the papers into her Yazama Karashi.

Noticing the Immortal’s hand still raised, Patir hesitated, then exchanged a knowing smile, placing a Gold Lira into the Messenger’s hand.

At this moment, the Immortal stretched out two fingers.

Patir took out two more Gold Liras and placed them in the Immortal’s hand. One Gold Lira floated back into Patir’s hand, while the Immortal, holding two Gold Liras, vanished through the wall.

When the Immortal disappeared, everyone relaxed from the temporary tension. Nalan approached Ji Mingyue, and Hong Ban swiftly came to Patir’s side, while Bai Peng and Lu Shuai joined Feili. Others hurriedly gathered around, all looking at Patir.

"What is this?"

"It’s terrifying. I felt it was like an angel-level presence!"

"Is that a Messenger? Whose Messenger, and what did it give you, Patir?"

"It’s an Immortal from the Secret Castle," Ji Mingyue’s cool voice replied.

The Secret Castle, renowned as the top of the Five Great Sanctuaries, the most mysterious and ancient place, possesses countless Divine Relics, all filled with strong, undying creatures.

"Immortal? Aren’t Immortals from the Secret Castle supposed to never leave except for special missions? How can one serve as a Messenger, that’s impossible, who holds such qualifications!"

Every country’s nobility aspires to join the Secret Castle Association. In fact, whether a family can join the Secret Castle Association is a measure of its strength and heritage.

"Perhaps it’s just a transaction," Nalan said mildly, yet his eyes were filled with envy and longing, hoping Patir would explain.

The crowd was equally curious, and without Patir’s initial statement, "Are you his Messenger?" they would have assumed it was Patir’s.

"It just looks like a big, scary skeleton-like thing," someone remarked.

"You fool, the minimum standard for an Immortal is an angel, and they have a unified will, representing the Secret Castle!" Hong Ban suddenly shouted in a low voice.

He realized he had lost composure right after shouting. Previously, he intended to trouble Li Xin without confronting him directly since there were numerous ways to create problems without his involvement. Now, he suspected this issue involved Li Xin due to his familiarity with Patir and the information revealed by her expression.

In the Dao Yuan Continent, no person, organization, or nation desires to provoke the Five Great Sanctuaries. Of course, the sanctuaries adhere to the laws of the Sixth Era, refraining from interfering with the mundane realm.

Damn it, he managed to get an Immortal to serve as a Messenger. Here’s hoping it’s just his imagination!

Everyone whispered, now understanding why this man was so bold, treating everyone without concern.

"Patir, what did the Immortal give you?" Ji Mingyue suddenly asked.

This question instantly captured everyone’s attention, and Patir snapped out of her daze, smiling slightly, "A secret."

The crowd was eager to know, but there was no way to find out.

Nalan noticed a hint of loneliness in Ji Mingyue’s eyes, an outcome of losing power; in the past, who would dare to respond so casually.

"There’s no need to ponder, sanctuaries don’t meddle in worldly matters. Immortals have no desires, only appearing to retrieve Divine Relics. Perhaps someone’s relic is about to dissipate," Nalan explained with a gentle smile.

The crowd calmed down, accepting Nalan Bo’er’s explanation, choosing to believe it more at heart.

The latest manuscript of Utopia Mountain’s tale, for a moment, Patir’s eyes shone bright, she was the first reader!

Those acquainted with Patir sensed her fiery demeanor, curious about what the Immortal gave her to evoke such excitement. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Hong Ban felt extremely agitated, very much so, as there were few people who made him hold back. Even Nalan didn’t deter him when confrontation was warranted. Sometimes, he wondered if being a bit naïve and reckless might save him from many troubles.

Hong Ban drank one cup after another, determined to not stop until he was knocked out.

Bai Peng also harbored suspicions, realizing Brother Li was still Brother Li, initially thinking he had merely hidden his strength. But now it seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg.
