Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 304 Law

Klein couldn't quite put his finger on it, but after this incident of the evil god's sacrifice, the atmosphere of the entire city of Backlund seemed to have changed.

It wasn't the quiet of patiently licking one's wounds, but the terror of an impending storm.

The people of the East District naturally trusted and were closer to the Dream Church, who had saved them, and the two churches received much praise. However, this revealed the incompetence of the royal family and nobles.

Rumors even circulated that the noble lords were out having fun when the evil god sacrifice occurred, and they just happened to run into the line of fire of the evil cult, resulting in heavy casualties, which made the atmosphere in Backlund even stranger.

"No way?" Klein had a thought after seeing all sorts of inexplicable news in the newspaper.

If at this moment someone were to rise up and call out...

"This is absurd..." Klein shook his head first; this situation could not possibly occur in the world of extraordinary beings.

"But what if someone deliberately created this atmosphere?" Klein had a terrible thought.

He now somewhat understands why Mr. Azik said things were far from over.

"Klein, take a look at this!" Leonard received a letter from the Aurora Society.

"Mr. A, representative of the Aurora Society; the Archbishop of the Dream Sect; the Archbishop of the Night Church; the Archbishop of the Storm Church..."

These people represent the pinnacle of power within the Backlund Church.

"They've all gone to the palace?" Klein felt more and more that something was about to happen.

"That's not all, there are many nobles, especially those who have died." Leonard took out another list, which he had obtained from the Church of the Night.

"We should have a result by tomorrow at the latest, and hopefully it will be good."

These matters were decided between the church's high-ranking officials and the royal family and nobles, and Klein and the others could only wait.

"However, I might get the news in advance." Klein winked.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, above the gray fog.

The Tarot meeting started on time. After the most basic Russell's Diary and transaction sessions, the members looked at Miss "Justice", Miss "Magician", and Mr. "Moon".

All three of them are in Backlund, and Miss Justice is even a noblewoman.

This was easy to guess, because the golden light emanating from Miss Justice was dazzling to everyone, including The Fool.

"So what happened in Backlund?" The Hanged Man heard horrifying rumors of evil cult sacrifices at sea, but the news at sea had been embellished by the pirates and lost its authenticity.

"..." Miss Justice looked around and found that many people were looking at her.

"This is a sacrifice by a cult, a result of cooperation between the Blood Worship Cult and the Witch Cult," Miss Justice said slowly after a moment's thought.

"A sacrifice that involved half of Backlund, it's insane!" Miss "Magician" was still terrified. She had also seen the dark cloud at the time, and out of caution, she and her roommate fled far away.

"To please an evil god?" This is the reason given by many evil cults for making sacrifices.

Tap... Mr. Fool gently tapped the table, drawing everyone's attention.

"It is a divine intervention."

"The abyss is the prison of evil gods."

In just two sentences, he secured his position as the "Fool" and explained what had happened in Backlund.

The others were also thrown into a brainstorming session because of these two sentences.

"Is it the god imprisoned in the abyss who wants to descend into the real world through this sacrifice? Is it the evil god worshipped by the Blood Cult?"

Having personally experienced this disaster and possessing sufficient information, Miss Justice quickly made the corresponding deductions.

Mr. Fool nodded slightly, affirming Ms. Justice's statement.

This information was obtained by Mr. Fool after venturing deep into the demon's lair and even eavesdropping on the battle of the true gods; it is absolutely true.

"This is too..." All the members of the Tarot Club were shocked and bewildered.

The secrets involved here were of such a high level that they all felt suffocated.

For a while, no one spoke. Then, Klein manipulated the illusionary dummy "World" to ask Miss "Justice," "What's the current situation with the nobles?"

"High-ranking figures from the church, nobles, and royalty all gathered to discuss and agree on something."

Miss Justice composed herself and began to answer.

Her family was noble, and they worshipped the goddess of night, giving them ample access to information.

"The churches have appealed to the royal family to guarantee the right to survival of the people in the eastern district, and also to prevent the same thing from happening again."

"Many nobles have died, and their power has been greatly weakened. They are simply unable to contend with the will of the Church."

"Especially the Dream Cult, after the Dream Cult bishop expressed his will, the royal family also gave up on protecting the interests of the nobility."

The exploiters in the East District are the nobles. If you want to improve the living conditions of the people in the East District, you naturally have to take a big chunk of flesh from those nobles. How could they agree to that?

However, quite a few nobles died, many of whom were powerful figures—nobles who could attend royal banquets were not of low status.

This naturally led to the collapse of the nobility under the Church's tough stance.

And very importantly, the power wielded by the Dream Cult was so terrifying that the so-called nobles had no power to resist.

So the final result is...

Miss Justice's feelings were somewhat complicated; she herself was a member of the nobility.

"The royal family, nobles, and the church will all step in to push parliament to enact strict laws to guarantee the right to life for all citizens."

"Moreover, because of the church's involvement, this may be the strictest law in history, and those who violate the law will be jointly punished by the royal family and the church."

No nobleman could withstand such punishment, which meant that the law, still in its infancy, would be better enforced.

The nobles and royalty suffered the greatest losses, the church gained popular support, and the survival of the common people was secured.

"This...is a good thing." Klein's eyes lit up. No matter what kind of exchange of interests was going on behind the scenes, what the people could get was real.

Moreover, once this law is enacted, the entire Kingdom of Rune will follow suit, benefiting not only the people of Backlund but also those in cities like the Eastern District.

"This might be the best news I've heard today."

Miss "Magician" often walks around the East District with her roommate and is aware of the living conditions of the people in the East District. She is optimistic about this news.

Mr. Moon also lives in Backlund, so naturally he wouldn't mind if it became better.

"What is life like for the people in the East District?" Miss Justice hesitated for a moment before asking softly.
