Chapter 418 Divine Punishment from the Stars

Chapter 418 Divine Punishment from the Stars

Outside Pnin Harbor, the Tri-God Church investigators who had been waiting in the outer area thought that today would be another fruitless day.

Unexpectedly, they saw the figure of Count Hasta Campbell leaving Pnin Harbor.

They were shocked and hurriedly surrounded him, wanting to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Unfortunately, they completely lost Hasta after following him for a while, and didn't even see his shadow again.

"Don't doubt it anymore. This Count Hasta Campbell is definitely a powerful Beyonder. Judging from the Beyonder ability he just showed, he is likely to be an Beyonder of the Apprentice Path, and is very likely to be a Sequence 5 Traveler."

"It's really hard to imagine that he is obviously not very old, but he can get to this point."

"There are always some people who are the darlings of fate, unlike us, who just live in the world to make up the numbers."

Several investigators sighed for a while, and then sent the latest news back to Backlund, waiting for the latest instructions for the next step.

Before their news was delivered to Backlund, Hasta had already arrived in Backlund.

In those broken memories, Backlund, the City of Hope, was the starting point of his life and the beginning of all stories.

His appearance did not attract the attention of others until he returned to his home according to the location in his memory and met Butler Neil, then he had some memories about it.

"Mr. Earl, you, why did you come back suddenly?" Butler Neil first spoke in surprise, then quickly looked around and lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Earl, you shouldn't come back alone. It's too dangerous for you here. You should leave Backlund as soon as possible!"

"Why?" Hasta asked calmly. This is his home. Why does he need to leave his home?

"The royal family has sent someone to send a message saying that you will be charged with treason."

Butler Neil lowered his voice very low, and at the same time led Hasta to the more secret study on the second floor to avoid too many people discovering that his Lord Earl had returned to Backlund.

"Treason?"

Hasta's eyes showed a little confusion. Why didn't he have a sense of belonging to this country?

There was not even a single memory of this.

"Yes, there have been rumors circulating in Backlund recently that you killed the two Grand Dukes of Southwell."

Butler Neil spoke earnestly, and once again hoped that Hastur could leave Backlund as soon as possible and find a place to hide so as not to be discovered by the people of the Loen royal family.

Hastur just stood quietly, thinking seriously for a while, and nodded: "I killed them."

He remembered that the deaths of the two Grand Dukes of Southwell were related to him, but he didn't remember what their names were and what happened.

"...Ah!"

Butler Neil was stunned, his hands and feet were cold, and he looked at the young earl in front of him in disbelief.

Hastur didn't say anything else, and his eyes swept around the study, and then he left here, walked along the corridor on the second floor, and came to the bedroom where he used to live, and stayed alone for a while.

Soon, there was a noisy sound of footsteps near the door. It was the police spies squatting around the house. Seeing Hasta's return, they immediately sent a large number of police to catch the criminal who killed the two Grand Dukes of Southwell.

When they rushed into the house and searched around for a while, they could not find Hasta.

Butler Neil, who had recovered from the shock just now, was relieved to see that they did not find the Earl. He was ready to come forward to solve the matter, but was taken directly to the police station for investigation.

In the police station, although Butler Neil's hair was white and his face looked old, he still answered the questions neither humble nor arrogant, and ignored the verbal threats of the police.

"I reiterate again that I have not seen Earl Hasta Campbell today, and I don't know where he went." Butler Neil repeated what he had just said.

"Haha, do you think our people are all blind? And the other maids have confessed that today, just now, the criminal named Hastur had briefly appeared." The police officer in charge of the interrogation slammed the table heavily, and the loud bangs, combined with the dark environment around, were very scary.

Butler Neil raised his eyelids slightly, "Just because they have seen it, it doesn't mean that I have seen it too. My eyes will never be wrong."

"Old man, it seems that you don't want to live anymore."

Butler Neil just smiled and said, "It is a virtue to stick to your post. I am just on the right path."

As long as Earl Hastur Campbell does not dismiss him for a day, he will be the butler of the Campbell family.

When the interrogating police on the opposite side wanted to say something, a small meteor fell vertically and hit the police station steadily, causing a huge explosion.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, Butler Neil's figure disappeared in the dilapidated police station.

In the suburbs, Hasta put Butler Neil down and whispered, "From now on, you are free."

Butler Neil, who was still in shock, took a long time to come back to his senses. Hearing Hasta's words, he just coughed lightly, smiled and shook his head and said, "My Lord Earl, I have already advanced next year's salary. Even if you want to fire me, you have to wait until after next year."

"No need to do that."

Butler Neil did not continue the topic, but asked Hasta to pay attention to the Augustus family of the Loen royal family.

Recently, many old nobles in Backlund have suffered unfair treatment. The persecution instigated by the Loen royal family has destroyed their families and finally replaced by emerging nobles.

"Mr. Earl, you must take good care of yourself."

Butler Neil left after leaving the last words.

"Augustus family..."

Hasta frowned slightly. He didn't like this family very much.

After waiting for a while, Hasta did not continue to walk 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.

Destroy it, it's a bit annoying.

Hasta looked up at the starry sky. In addition to the planets, there were countless meteorites.

He only needed to pull a little bit to make the meteorites break through the atmosphere and turn into a punishment from heaven.

Because the starry sky is his kingdom of God.

...

December 26th.

As the new year was about to begin, a strange phenomenon occurred in the sky late at night. A meteor fell from the sky and hit the Loen Royal Palace squarely. The huge and majestic palace complex was completely turned into a devastated land, leaving countless meteorite craters on the ground.

What was even more amazing was 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 that night was called the Night of Star Wrath by the residents of Backlund.

It was a divine punishment specially sent down by the gods because they were dissatisfied with the recent actions of the Loen royal family.

The rumor became more and more intense, and finally Covington II had to stand up and confess to the gods for this matter.

Unfortunately, the gods did not accept his confession, and threw another extremely insulting fire meteor at him, blowing up the platform where he was giving a speech.

This incident undoubtedly confirmed all kinds of rumors and speculations, seriously damaged the dignity of the Loen royal family, destroyed the prestige of King Covington II, and collapsed the positive image that was originally accumulated because of the victory in the war.

"Waste!"

"What divine punishment! This is clearly man-made!"

"Is there no one from the Church of the Night, the Church of the Storm, and the Church of Steam and Machinery who can stand up to solve this matter?"

In a new palace that was temporarily built, King Covington II was furious in the study.

What meteor shower? This is clearly someone using his extraordinary ability to pretend to be God's will to accomplish this!

In the mysterious world, there are many Sequence 2 angels who can do this.

For example, the Sequence 2 natural disasters of the Storm Path, the Sequence 2 disaster witches of the Witch Path, the Sequence 2 miracle masters of the Fortune Teller Path, and so on.

According to the speculation of the Augustus family's extraordinary people, these things are most likely caused by the natural disasters of the Storm Path.

But the Storm Church firmly denied this matter, saying that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with their Storm Church.

The Augustus family did not accept their explanation.

Backlund is a 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 the high-sequence extraordinary people long ago.

But the natural disaster still came, which means that this matter may be tacitly approved by the three gods, at least the Lord of Storm must know about it.

After the incident, the Church of the Three Gods did not actively deal with the matter, but kept making excuses.

This further confirmed the speculation of the members of the Augustus family.

But without the true gods sitting in front of them, they did not dare to question the three true gods directly, and could only swallow this breath silently.

Because once they fell out with the Church of the Three Gods, not only would the Augustus family's ruling power over the Kingdom of Loen be shaken, but the war with the Fussac Empire would also be fundamentally reversed.

In order to calm this matter, Covington II became much quieter, and at the same time slowed down the strategy against some old nobles.

...

Above the gray fog, although Klein was overseas, he also learned about the recent events in Backlund through his own channels.

There is still some time before the Tarot Club convenes, and he is thinking about how to answer questions about Backlund later.

This kind of thing must be prepared first, and only when you have a plan in mind can you deal with various possible questions from the Tarot Club members.

The Day of Star Wrath, why does it seem like the work of the stars?

Why not put all the recent events in Backlund on the stars? Anyway, He is so mysterious and unpredictable, and anything is possible.

Klein thought seriously for a long time, then waited for the time to summon the Tarot Club members to come to the meeting.

"Mr. Fool, good afternoon."

Audrey greeted all the Tarot Club members naturally. Her energetic voice was like a ray of sunshine that tore through the gray sky, making people feel relaxed and happy.
