"It doesn't have to be this way."
Butler Neil did not continue this topic, but asked Hastur to pay attention to the Augustus family of the Loen royal family.
Recently, many established nobles in Backlund have suffered unfair treatment. The persecution at the behest of the Loen royal family has left their families in ruins, and they were eventually replaced by emerging nobles.
"My Lord Earl, you must take care of yourself."
Butler Neil left with his last words.
"The Augustus family..."
Hastur frowned slightly, he disliked this family very much.
After waiting for a while, Hastur did not continue walking on this land, but returned to the Hall of Stars.
When his eyes fell on Backlund again, he naturally looked at the palace where the Augustus family was located.
Ruin it, it's a bit of an eyesore.
Hasta raised his head slightly and looked at the starry sky. In addition to planets, there were countless meteorites.
He only needs a small tug to make the meteorite break through the atmosphere and come as a punishment from heaven.
Because the starry sky is his kingdom of God.
……
12 month 26 day.
As we enter the new year
In the dead of night, a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky. A meteor fell from the sky and smashed right into the Loen Palace. The huge and majestic palace complex was completely turned into a devastated land, leaving countless meteorite craters on the ground.
What is even more amazing is that ordinary residents living near the palace were not affected and even slept soundly that night. Many people did not know that there was a meteor shower last night until they woke up the next day.
The meteor shower this night was called the Night of Star Fury by the residents of Backlund.
It was a punishment specially sent down by the gods because they were dissatisfied with the Loen royal family's recent actions.
This rumor became more and more intense, and finally Govington II had to stand up and express repentance to the gods for this incident.
Unfortunately, the gods did not accept his confession and threw another extremely insulting bolide at him, blowing up the platform where he was speaking.
This incident undoubtedly confirmed various rumors and speculations, seriously damaged the majesty of the Loen royal family, ruined the prestige of Govington II, and collapsed the positive image originally accumulated due to the victory in the war.
"waste!"
"What kind of divine punishment! This is obviously man-made!"
"Didn't anyone from the Church of Night, Church of Storms, or Church of Steam and Mechanics step up to resolve this matter?"
In a temporary new palace, Govington II was furious in the study.
Why is there a meteor shower from the sky? Someone is clearly using their extraordinary abilities to accomplish this under the guise of divine will!
In the mysterious world, there are many Sequence 2 angels who can do this.
For example, the Sequence 2 Natural Disaster of the Storm Path, the Sequence 2 Disaster Witch of the Witch Path, the Sequence 2 Miracle Master of the Soothsayer Path, etc.
According to the speculations of the Extraordinaries of the Augustus Family, these things were most likely caused by natural disasters in the path of the storm.
However, the Church of Storms firmly denied this matter, saying that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with their Church of Storms.
Their explanation was not accepted by the Augustus family.
Backlund is the place where the gods are watching. If you want to complete a natural disaster of this scale above Backlund, you can't hide it from the three gods who are watching here.
Otherwise, Backlund would have been destroyed by high-sequence Beyonders.
But the natural disaster still came, which means that this matter may have been tacitly approved by the three gods. At least the Storm Lord must have known about it.
After the incident occurred, the Three Gods Church had no intention of actively dealing with the matter. Instead, they just prevaricated and shied away.
This further confirmed the suspicions of the Augustus family members.
But without the True God sitting in charge, they did not dare to question the three True Gods directly, so they could only swallow this breath silently.
Because once they fall out with the Three Gods Church, not only will the Augustus family's dominance over the Loen Kingdom be shaken, but the war with the Fosac Empire will also undergo a fundamental reversal.
In order to calm the matter, Govington II became much quieter and at the same time slowed down his strategies against some old nobles.
……
Above the gray fog, even though he was overseas, Klein also learned about the recent events in Backlund through his own news channels.
There is still a little time before the Tarot Club is held, and he is thinking about how to answer the questions about Backlund later.
You must be prepared for this kind of thing first, and have a clue in your mind before you can deal with various possible problems from members of the Tarot Club.
The Day of Wrath of the Stars seems to be the work of the stars.
How about all the recent events in Backlund be blamed on the stars? Anyway, he is so mysterious and unpredictable that anything he can do is possible.
Klein thought seriously for a long time, then waited for time and summoned the Tarot Club members to come for a meeting.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool."
Audrey greeted all the Tarot Club members naturally, and her energetic voice was like a ray of sunshine tearing through the gray sky, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Chapter 419 Fors: It’s so nice to be Miss Audrey’s dog
After Klein read Russell's diary from this Tarot Club, the Tarot Club members naturally brought the topic to what happened in Backlund recently.
"Is the meteor shower that happened in Backlund really a divine punishment?"
As Alger the Hanged Man raised this question, the members of the Tarot Club naturally turned their attention to Audrey and Forsi.
In previous conversations, there are three Tarot Club members currently living in Backlund, the unreliable Mr. Moon, Miss Magician who was crazy about her presence some time ago, and Miss Justice, who has always been recognized as a Loen noble.
Oops, I'm not in Backlund this time, and I have no idea what happened in Backlund.
Audrey's heart moved slightly, and she deliberately looked at Miss Magician, naturally diverting everyone's attention to her.
She already knows that Miss Magician's true identity is Ms. Fors, thanks to the smart and reliable Susie.
When the tarot session was about to be held, Ms. Forse suddenly said that she wanted to take a nap, which made her immediately suspicious after preparing the same excuse.
Then, while pretending not to care, he sent the detective's best assistant, Susie, to investigate.
Soon I discovered the little secret that Forsi had hidden.
Miss Magician is Ms. Fors!
"..."
Forsi, who was watched by all the Tarot Club members, had a panicked look on her face. She was not in Backlund during this time, but was accompanying Miss Audrey to South Wales.
Xio told her what happened in Backlund, and she knew very little about it, but she would not reveal the news that she was not in Backlund.
She had a special feeling that Miss Justice, who also lived in Backlund, might recognize her.
"This is the retribution the Augustus family has brought upon themselves."
These words were Xio's exact words, and she thought they were very suitable. Anyway, the Augustus family was by no means a good thing.
Alger whispered, "Retribution, punishment from which god? The Lord of Storms?"
He also felt that the meteor shower might have been caused by powerful Beyonders in the path of the storm. Some people within the church also thought so.
During this period, Govington II made frequent moves, which made the higher-ups of the Church of Storms not very happy.
"Cough cough."
When everyone fell into a brief silence, Mr. Moon Emlyn, who had never been very serious, pretended not to care and coughed twice.
When everyone looked over, he tried his best to look mature and calm, and said in a serious tone: "This is a punishment from the stars!"
"Punishment of the stars?"
Forsi was the most surprised. She was a believer in the stars, but she didn't know about it. On the contrary, Mr. Moon, who had never been serious, knew about it first.
This believer of the stars is really a failure.
Thinking of this, shame filled her cheeks.
This scene was also seen by Audrey.
"Are you sure?" Alger asked a little unsurely.
“Of course.” Emlyn raised his head proudly, but when he caught sight of Mr. Fool’s gaze, he lowered his head and quickly explained, “This is the oracle from our blood clan’s ancestor himself.
He asks us not to provoke the followers of the stars in the near future."
"Of course, this doesn't mean that we vampires are afraid of the so-called followers of the stars, but we have always loved peace and don't like to make grudges with others."
"Although the stars are shining brightly, the glory of our vampire family has also covered the sky."
Tarot members naturally skip the last two sentences and focus on the first.
It really is the work of stars.
Although he didn't need to speak to explain what happened to Backlund, Klein secretly applauded his accurate prediction.
Forsi was also cheering for herself in her heart. She was a true believer of the stars. Even Lilith, the ancestor of the blood race, had issued an oracle not to have grudges with the believers of the stars. This was a big deal.
As for Mr. Moon's remarks, they only show his naivety and bluff.
After a brief shock, everyone moved away from the topic with a tacit understanding. Firstly, they did not dare to delve too much into the specific affairs between the gods, and secondly, they did not want to see Emlyn's smug face.
If Mr. Fool hadn't been here, his tail would have been raised to the sky, and he would have said loudly that he was the savior of the vampires chosen by the ancestor of the vampires.
Audrey, who was not very interested today, didn't even care much when she heard that the Augustus family was punished by the stars.
After the Tarot Club members ended their discussion on the matter, she looked around at everyone and asked, "I have a patient who has some mental problems. What method can effectively help him?"
When she asked, she glanced at Forsi specifically.
Forsi was stunned for a moment. Was there something wrong with his mind?
It feels so familiar. Isn’t this the same symptom Mr. Hastur has?
Is it just a coincidence, or does Miss Justice know Mr. Hastur?
So is there a possibility that Miss Justice is Miss Audrey?
Forsi was shocked by his witty guess, and looked at Miss Justice a little more thoughtfully. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that Miss Justice was Miss Audrey!
