Chapter 921 Cap 919: The Law Always Finds Its Way
Pov Bianca:
I walked into the large room we used to meet, to find Darcia holding Alan by the collar again in the same way as before I left.
Sigh
“I thought I separated you before I left.” (I)
“But he made my dear Zenos angry with me.” (Darcia)
“I’m sure he was avoiding you before…” (Alan)
“Nobody asked you anything.” (Darcia)
I know Darcia is just trying to lighten things up, I sit on the sofa while I pour myself a cup of tea, I don’t know what blend of teas this is but the aroma is very relaxing.
“How did it go with the Vampire?” (Alan)
“The Vampire has a name, but he’s well, surprisingly calm.” (I)
“This is bad.” (Alan)
“Yes, but it was your fault.” (I)
“Is his being calm bad? I thought it would be good for him to be calm.” (Darcia)
“It means that earlier he said exactly what he was thinking of doing, without being affected by strong emotions like anger.” (I)
“That should be fine, considering what we know of him, if he wasn’t calm then he would have acted rather than warned.” (Darcia)
“Darcia is right.” (I)
Alan’s face got even darker, I already explained to him the mistake he made, I know he didn’t think at that moment, he just considered Zenos’s Familiar a monster and his body reacted before realizing it.
But there is no doubt that this was only because he never considered Zenos as an ally but as an enemy, I’m sure because of his own prejudices against the way Zenos does things.
“I’ve always said, you have to accept justice from others.” (I)
“What justice is there in someone who kills and tortures with ease, you also heard that Fairy talking to the Priestess of Vengeance.” (Alan)
“They can be cruel, but they direct it to those who deserve it.” (I)
“Besides, nobody becomes cruel because they want to, talking to him reminded me of that.” (I)
“You also saw him helping that city that would be destroyed because of a Titan of Nature.” (I)
“Yes…” (Alan)
“These people attacked and endangered the people on this Ship, people he cares about, he killed enemies just like you, and whatever he wants to do with his prisoners is up to the Priestess of Vengeance, so any punishment will be lost.” (I)
“But we should be better…” (Alan)
Boommm!!!
“[Attention! Attention! We are under attack!]” (Nicole)
“[I repeat, we are under attack!]” (Nicole)
“Is this serious!?” (Alan)
“It’s only been a few hours since…” (I)
“YOU ARE BEING APPROACHED BY THE TEMPLE OF THE LAW, DON’T RESIST!!!”
BOOMMM!
“Those damn hypocrites, they tell you not to resist and keep attacking!?” (Bianca) .𝘤𝑜𝑚

Pov Judge Michael (High Priest of the Law):
I was in my office reviewing the week’s inmates and their crimes, unfortunately in this Kingdom, the Nobles are entitled to defend themselves against their accusations even if there is proof of their crimes.
“Mister Judge, congratulations on your new position and promotion to High Priest.” (Wagner)
“What do you want here, as far as I know, we are far from the battlefield and this Kingdom will not participate in this War.” (I)
“I’m not a mercenary anymore, I’m tired of looking for criminals only to be treated like one by the soldiers.” (Wagner)
“I’m now joining an Order of Knights, I’m passing by because I heard something in the Adventurer’s Guild that might interest you.” (Wagner)
“What would it be?” (I)
“Looks like a battle took place outside the city, a few hours away, I overheard an Adventurer tell everything with a communication item and wrote it down, thought you might like to check it out.” (Wagner)
“Let me see.” (I)
I can tell just by looking that he’s going to get something out of it or at least believes he’s going to get something out of it, but an informant can bring something useful.
I read the information he wrote down, it seems to be a summary of a battle with some highlights I wrote down.
1. Various Iron Grade individuals.
2. 4 Floating Ships with only 3 being White.
3. A bloody battle with large number of monsters being on the 4 Unidentified Ship.
4. Sighting of small Dragons, possibly Monster Dragons and not True Dragons.
5. It also has information on some of the sighted individuals that the Adventurer in question believed were in charge.
“(A Dragonewt with red hair that controls blood, crystal scales that look like shards of the night sky, a Celestina with red wings, a Fairy capable of manipulating various elements, a red direwolf with wings, and a black Unicorn with wings of appearance evil.)” (I)
I smile at the thought and grab documents from a shelf checking the information, looks like I might be able to catch a major criminal this time.
“(The law always finds its way.)” (I)
“You can go now Wagner, you’ve done a great service this time.” (I)
“I’m just doing my duty to the law, so goodbye Judge Michael.” (Wagner)
“Wait! Which Order of Knights did you say you were joining?” (I)
“I didn’t say, but that’s not a big secret, I’m going to the Order of Knights of Redemption.” (I)
He answers me as he leaves, I know the Order of Knights he spoke of, belongs to the Church of Light, those who are outside the Church have to join this Order of Knights where they must prove themselves worthy before ascending in the hierarchy.
“Trying to use me to get ahead? It’s okay since you’re also helping me.” (I)
After that, I gathered those I could following the stipulations of our doctrine before going full speed ahead leading to the criminal who dared to threaten our Religion and is the criminal who killed many of our Religion’s youth on Cyrion Isle.

Pov Zenos:
I was in the Library when I heard the explosions and Nicole’s announcement so I used my Lesser Familiars to see what’s going on, the attacks came from the ground so I can see hundreds of people on the ground and dozens riding Wyverns above them.
Nicole who was inside one of the Ships with several magic items floating around her was looking at them as she spoke with a microphone shaped item in her hand.
“Who are they?” (I)
“From the symbol on their armor, they must be from the Temple of Law.” (Nicole)
“Temple of the Law?” (I)
