Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

282: Chapter 276 It wasn’t me who lifted the ban.It was another early morning.

As the morning sun rose, its golden light dispersed the darkness that shrouded the sky, spilling across the Royal Capital.

In families with fields to till, the male heads of the household woke early, just as they had done on countless identical days, picking up their farming tools and hurrying to the outskirts with their half-grown children.

Farm women living in the suburbs also rose early, carrying bamboo baskets and gathering in small groups, chatting about village gossip while heading to the Royal Capital for the early morning market.

They met at the city gates, one group entering while the other left.

Those entering had excited faces, looking forward to a spirited round of bargaining with the vendors, while those leaving were full of joy, hoping that the wheat from the previous night had grown even more lush.

The two sides passed each other, together creating a scene of prosperity before the city gates.

Reasonably speaking, it should have been like this.

But today was slightly different.

They still crossed paths at the gate, but there was no joy to be seen.

Everyone, including the Guards watching the city gates, had heavy expressions, as if a great disaster was about to strike.

There were two reasons for this.

First, all the Lake citizens living in the Royal Capital discovered that a large number of legions had suddenly arrived in the vicinity.

There were many, more than they had seen in their entire lives.

The legions did not march into the Royal Capital, but instead set up camp in their own designated areas, minding their own business.

If it were just the arrival of the legions, people might be nervous, but not to the point of panic.

The real key lay in the second reason.

Bishop Jarvis, who was responsible for managing the church in the Royal Capital, had publicly announced a few days ago that the ban on violence in human settlements would be lifted in a few days.

Once the news broke, the ones with the most violent reaction were not the commoners; on the contrary, it was all the Professionals, regardless of their strength.

The reason why it was them was not complicated—fear.

Professionals had long grown accustomed to the safety within the city.

No matter what kind of big shot they offended in the mazes or the wild, as long as they entered the city, their lives would be guaranteed.

Furthermore, they could trade treasures within the city without any worries, never fearing that others would use their strength to rob them.

And why were those Magic Families that stood above the Adventurer Groups also afraid?

They should be at the top of the food chain.

Actually, it was for the same reason: the fear of being robbed.

Weak Magic Families feared being robbed by powerful ones.

As for the powerful Magic Families, they feared being carved up by slightly weaker families joining forces.

This group of Professionals gathered outside the cathedral, collectively requesting the church to retract the decision, and even sent letters to the Holy Mountain.

The Holy Mountain was also bewildered upon receiving the news—we didn’t give that order, did we?

So they hurriedly used a long-distance teleportation array and sent someone to the Royal Capital church to question Jarvis.

When the envoy arrived, the Professionals outside the cathedral were very excited, clearing a wide path and respectfully watching him enter.

However, half an hour later, the envoy emerged with a dark face, walking through the crowd without a word and returning straight to the Holy Mountain.

Everyone was stunned.

The scene remained silent for a long time until someone finally snapped out of it.

They understood that the fact was already irreversible, and the most urgent thing now was to prepare in advance for ’a few days later.’

The crowd suddenly dispersed.

Zhang Mu, who was watching the spectacle from the side, saw everyone scatter and patted his pants before returning to the hotel.

Instead of going to his own room, he entered Mihe’s room.

Looking around and seeing no one, he didn’t know what the two were busy with.

Zhang Mu didn’t just wait; he simply went to ’The World’ to see how Domit and Geoffrey were progressing.

Opening the light gate and stepping through, he first went to the research lab.

Geoffrey was still his usual self, standing at a table, looking down at something.

Walking silently behind him, Zhang Mu leaned his head forward and saw a design drawing for a magic guidance sniper rifle spread out on the table.
