No wonder he's a member of parliament secretly known as the 'Harem King'; he can even win over a goddess.

But then he straightened his expression, raised his eyebrows, and looked Viktor up and down.

Why does it feel like someone's missing? Where did that goddess in black go?

Moreover, the raven wasn't on Viktor's shoulder.

Before he could figure out where the raven had gone, Victor spoke up:

"Shulbone doesn't need to be rebuilt for the time being, and I will also bring Prish back to the Empire."

Prihis was the lord of Shulbon, and since Shulbon no longer exists, it seems reasonable for Prihis not to stay here...

What a load of rubbish!

Heim Horn looked at Victor with surprise, as if asking for the real reason behind his actions.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Viktor's indifferent response:

"Even if it is repaired, it may be damaged again soon, so it is better to leave it here for now."

Upon hearing this, Heim Horn's expression immediately collapsed, and his face became solemn.

Then, in a trembling voice, he asked:

"What about the original inhabitants of Shulburn?"

For the safety of those residents, the mages have moved them all to the city next to Shulburn.

Although this suddenly increased the number of refugees, the local lord dared not speak out against it.

After all, Viktor was the one who orchestrated this whole thing.

Moreover, judging from the situation, Grand Duke Barlow also tacitly approved of it.

Seeing this, Viktor simply said:

"That's a matter for the kingdom itself."

"Let them handle it themselves."

Upon hearing this, Heim Horn was suddenly shocked and looked in surprise at the goddess of justice behind Victor.

You dare say that? Aren't you really afraid of being cleaved in two by that obsessive goddess's sword?

However, the goddess didn't react much to these words; instead, she fell into deep thought, and then asked:

"Teacher, why don't you help those refugees?"

"It was you who destroyed this city."

Old...teacher?

The repeated shocks nearly caused Haim Horn to have his heart stop beating.

Seeing that the goddess, hailed as 'obsessive justice,' did not launch an angry attack on Victor.

Instead, he addressed Viktor as "teacher" as if he were humbly seeking instruction.

What exactly happened between them?

Does this mean that the Mage Council will truly fall under the control of the orthodox church dominated by the Goddess of Justice in the future?

At this moment, Victor frowned.

That's why he didn't want to agree to be followed by this goddess.

Victor's main approach to things was to do whatever he pleased, and if Astraea were always by his side, everything he did would be questioned.

After all, she was a goddess who clearly distinguished between good and evil.

In her mind, Viktor should naturally be responsible for settling the refugees in the city he destroyed.

This is a tricky question; if answered poorly, it might become a point deduction in the eyes of this goddess.

Astraea may be naive, but she is not stupid.

So he added:

"Because these refugees themselves are quite wicked, they brought this situation upon themselves."

Astraea looked slightly puzzled.

Those residents who are powerless to even kill a chicken are actually evil?

Victor then explained:

"They have an excellent lord, and their abundant life has always been thanks to him."

"But these residents never showed any genuine gratitude; instead, they tried to drive this innocent lord out of the city."

A sense of justice can discern the truth or falsehood in Victor's words.

At that moment, the heart of justice calmly told the goddess that Victor had indeed not lied.

This puzzled Astraea, and at the same time, a surge of anger welled up inside her.

"Why?"

Such a kind lord, and those humans still do this, it's simply too much.

"It was precisely because some of the lord's actions touched upon their interests that they began to resent him."

"They also see their actions as representations of justice... Yes, just like those believers who blindly worship you, they become just as fanatical."

Astraea was very surprised to hear this.

These residents consider themselves truly righteous simply because others have infringed upon their interests?

She recalled her teacher saying that her sense of justice was also somewhat obsessive.

So... does she, like these people, firmly believe that her own sense of justice is beyond question?

"Justice itself is a good symbol, but only justice that is considered from multiple perspectives and can be widely accepted is true justice."

"And their so-called justice will obviously not be accepted by the public."

Victor, with his hands in his pockets, calmly began to speak:

"Therefore, their hatred led to their deaths and even brought the entire city of Shulbourne to ruin."

"This is their punishment."

Seeing that goddess, often mentioned in history and convinced only of her own sense of justice, being thoroughly taught a lesson by Victor,

Heim Horn was somewhat shocked.

He couldn't help but give Viktor a thumbs up.

Awesome.

While the goddess was engrossed in her own thoughts and had no time to pay attention to their conversation, they took advantage of the moment.

Heim Horn quickly asked the question that was on his mind most urgently.

"What did you mean when you said that Shulburn would be destroyed in the future?"

Viktor turned his head and looked at him with a deep gaze.

"Do you still remember the tokens from those ten gods?"

Heim Horn nodded, after all, it was those ten artifacts that allowed the believers to successfully summon Victor's Black Raven.

It's hard for him not to remember this clearly.

Then, he saw Viktor calmly utter those words that were utterly unsettling:

“My raven is currently holding those ten divine tokens.”

“They shouted for those gods to roll down from the sky.”
