Chapter 582: The Old Reckless Fool's Student, the Little Reckless Fool

The Old Reckless Fool's Student, the Little Reckless Fool

"... a most strange point, and only then did I realize that the 【Iron Law of Order】 might really have a problem."

"What point?" Cheng Shi's gaze was solemn, and he even lightened his breathing.

"Kein Laoer no longer contacts the 【Iron Law of Order】!

As the constitutional code bestowed by our benefactor, the 【Iron Law of Order】 has always been regarded by us as His incarnation, the only guidance He left for the world in His mercy.

All decrees that the Grand Tribunal should write into the constitution need to be reported to Him by the Supreme Judge and recorded within the Iron Law.

In the past, this was a necessary task for the three Supreme Judges during their rotation, but I discovered that for a long time before Loyat's incident, Kein Laoer had never offered piety to the 【Iron Law of Order】 again!

Whenever the Supreme Tribunal had new decrees to issue, he would always leave the Katerou Court due to external affairs and push this honor, which was almost equivalent to seeing God, to Loyat. Loyat was the most pious follower of my Lord and naturally wouldn't refuse such an opportunity.

And his excuses were perfect. All parts of the Grand Tribunal indeed needed the attention of the Supreme Judge, so for a long time, I didn't discover the problem.

Looking back and scrutinizing it now, Kein Laoer probably sensed the abnormality of the 【Iron Law of Order】 long ago.

What's even stranger is that this operation continued for a long time, but except for the two involved, even Esares never questioned it.

The Grand Executioner, Grand Justice, and Grand Investigator don't need to pray to the 【Iron Law of Order】 for everything except for the monthly ceremony of piety, but the Supreme Judges are in frequent contact with Him, so how could they not have discovered a clue?

It was precisely because of this that I sensed Esares also had a problem.

So I turned my attention to him and began to investigate the second Supreme Judge.

Esares is very old. According to the governing laws and justice laws of the Supreme Tribunal, he will soon choose a successor and then gloriously lay down this burden, spending his later years in the admiration and cheers of the people of 【Order】.

In these last few years of governance, he has made no mistakes, but there have been no highlights either.

He no longer balances the factions of law and politics, no longer guides the trend of law, no longer appears in public to inspect the country, but just stays safely in the Katerou Court, silently offering his piety to 【Order】.

Esares has been busy for this country his whole life. At this age, he should have a good rest, but the Supreme Tribunal happened to have this kind of thing at this time, so I had to suspect whether he concealed the mutation of the 【Iron Law of Order】 so that his pious life would not be left with any stain.

Otherwise, this cannot explain why he never questioned the unreasonableness of Loyat replacing Kein Laoer in seeing Him.

This Supreme Judge is worthy of respect, so I didn't investigate secretly, but visited him as a confused junior, wanting to awaken his final piety and speak the truth!"

Hearing this, Cheng Shi was stunned for a moment.

No, big sister, have you lost your mind? How could you do such a stupid thing?

Didn't the other party's attitude when the Grand Justice was caught on the spot explain everything? How could you still be so foolish?

He looked at this Grand Investigator with a face full of doubt, suppressing the urge to complain, wanting to wait for an explanation.

Lideyala also gave a bitter smile when she said this, and a rare trace of sorrow flashed in her still-sharp eyes.

"He... is my foster father."

"???"

"It was he who rescued me from the war and brought me back to the Katerou Court when he was inspecting the borders of the Grand Tribunal in his youth.

It was he who taught me how to believe in 【Order】, enlightened my wisdom, and discovered my abilities.

It was he who told me with his pious life that 【Order】 is the greatest Lord in this world.

I couldn't go against my own heart and investigate the benefactor he had worshipped his whole life behind his back when he was old, let alone investigate him secretly.

I understand him. I know his piety is different from others. He wants the world to be filled with His gaze, and he wants the Continent of Hope to always be at peace."

"Pfft—" Cheng Shi couldn't hold it back this time. "What a touching story. It seems your foster father also understands you, so he sent you in here, right, Lord Lideyala."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi regretted it, because he was afraid Lideyala would be angered into fainting like Laquis.

Fortunately, this Grand Investigator's willpower was stronger than the old man's.

Her face was full of sorrow as she said:

"Funny, right?

But no matter how funny, how can it be as funny as 【Order】 no longer being orderly?

His followers clearly established a country that believes in Him on this vast land, and the whole country is even thriving, but at this moment, His own will has developed a problem.

This is the funniest thing in the world."

Cheng Shi frowned and sighed: "So, Lord Investigator, you didn't find the most intuitive evidence to show what exactly happened to the 【Iron Law of Order】, right?

You just confirmed one thing through investigation, a thing Lord Laquis had already said."

"... Yes, I didn't."

"..." Cheng Shi was numb. He took two deep breaths and looked at the time, feeling that the harvest tonight might not be very large.

But things were far from over, because Lideyala continued:

"I haven't faced the 【Iron Law of Order】 after the mutation. The only ones who have faced Him are Laquis and his student, Chen Shu."

"?" Cheng Shi was stunned again. "Chen Shu is Lord Laquis's student?"

"That's right. He is also the successor to the Supreme Judge favored by Esares. If nothing goes wrong, he should be the new generation of the Son of 【Order】, taking over Esares's position in a few years and ascending to the judge's seat of the Supreme Tribunal.

But now..."

"No, wait!" Cheng Shi suddenly became spirited. He looked at Lideyala with burning eyes and asked, "You mean, Chen Shu has faced the 【Iron Law of Order】?

He was locked in here because of his teacher?"

"Yes, this child didn't believe his teacher would betray 【Order】, so he started a secret investigation like me.

But none of us expected that this daring judge would actually dare to sneak into the Supreme Tribunal privately and investigate the 【Iron Law of Order】 face to face!"

Good fellow!

Good courage!

Good reckless fool!

Worthy of being the old reckless fool's student!

Whether he learned anything else, he certainly learned the recklessness to the fullest.

"What did he find out?"

"He..." Lideyala's face darkened. "He went crazy, just as crazy as Loyat.

The current Chen Shu is no longer that upright and capable First-Class Judge, but has become a madman with persecution delusions.

And all of this...

I speculate, it was probably all bestowed upon him by the 【Iron Law of Order】." ===== CHAPTER 583 =====
