The mage arrives

Who should be punished?Of course it's that despicable, treacherous, evil mage Gordon Freeman who can't be described too much with all the negative words in the world!

Durlington deftly ignites the anger of the audience, then directs it at Gordon.Except for those nobles who stood firmly on the side of Grand Duke Rob Antello, others—including Earl Thompson’s minions who deliberately fanned the flames, as well as most of the participants who didn’t know the truth, cast contemptuous glances at Gordon, and even Swear.

It seemed that the harder he scolded Gordon, the more he could show his compassion and kindness.

"A bunch of hypocritical bastards." When Gordon thought of staying in the same hall with these guys, and even having to rely on their strength to fight Earl Thompson afterwards, Gordon felt that his interest was languishing.

"Quiet!" Prince Satyas Anduin finally spoke.His voice was not loud, but it was powerful, and he suppressed the noisy abuse all at once.

The hall of Bahamut was quiet and dignified again.

Although His Royal Highness sympathized with the victims who were tortured by the devil's toxin, he was still clear-headed and handled the matter with a neutral and objective attitude.

"Knight Durlington, you can go down now." His Royal Highness waved his hand, "Ms. Taretha Bishop, Viscount Angelo, Viscount Curtis, Baron Thompson... come to the stage."

The few nobles named by the prince are the temporary leadership of the autumn hunting team.

This loyal supporter of the Freyton royal family asked Ms. Bishop and others one by one. He needed to allow himself and the nobles in the entire Bahamut Hall to obtain information from various sources as much as possible, instead of just listening to one side of the story.Only in this way can a correct judgment be made in the end.

Ms. Bishop, Viscount Angelo, and Viscount Curtis were on the same front as Gordon. They denied Joshua Feder's statement on the spot, indicating that the poisoned person would be kept.It is a decision made by the entire leadership.

"At that time, the autumn hunting team went through a series of battles, with heavy casualties and many non-combatants. If we didn't keep those poisoned people behind, then I can say with certainty that it would only take a day or two for the demons to catch up At that time, everyone will die. Baron Gordon Freeman just proposed a plan that can minimize the loss and save more people. Maybe for Baron Joshua Feder and that It's not fair to Angelie, the girl who lost her parents. But. That's fate."

"You attribute all our sufferings to fate?!" Joshua's ferocious cheeks kept trembling, and his fat body seemed to fly with excitement.

Judging by his hard work, in every sense, he is a conscientious mad dog in Earl Thompson's camp.

Although Ms. Bishop's words were not as eloquent as Knight Durrington's, they still made sense.She poses a moral question that has been common throughout the ages: whether a small number of innocent people should be sacrificed at all.To save the majority?

The female warrior whom the lord of the scepter relied on used her calm tone to extinguish the agitated emotions of many nobles in the hall just now.

Some nobles calmed down.No longer affected by the plight of the poisoners.Instead, he thought carefully about Ms. Bishop's words.Some even cast doubtful eyes on Joshua's ugly face.After all, Ms. Bishop is the supreme leader of the autumn hunting team, and she is also the hero of meritorious service that has been advertised before.What she said obviously carries more weight than a character like Joshua Feder.

"Ms. Taretha Bishop, according to your narrative, the decision to keep all the poisoned people was made by the entire leadership, and Baron Gordon Freeman just made a suggestion. Right?" Elasi asked Cardinal Rodriguez, a devotee of S.

As the god of law, order, and civilization, Erasis' alignment is lawful neutral.Therefore, his believers, unlike some other believers of good gods, do not have the compassionate feelings of saints.For them, maintaining order and rule, formulating laws and norms, and fighting the enemies of civilization are the highest code of conduct.

Therefore, in order to preserve more vitality, Gordon had to abandon the suggestions of the poisoned people. From Cardinal Rodriguez's point of view, it was very reasonable.It can even be said that he already has a little appreciation for this decisive young man.

However, in terms of morality and public opinion, Gordon is still at a disadvantage, so Cardinal Rodriguez decided to help a group of mages and shift the focus of the debate away from those poor poisoning survivors.

"Yes, Cardinal Rodriguez. This is the decision of the entire leadership, not Baron Joshua's so-called 'Gordon bewitching us to abandon those poisoned', isn't it, Earl Thompson?" Bishop The lady looked at the old earl with a half smile.

"Don't talk nonsense, Ms. Bishop! I was excluded at the time, and I didn't attend your so-called meeting at all. Maybe Gordon used some evil magic to control you, so that he made such a decision that violated the teachings of the Dragon God! I I sympathize with Baron Joshua Feder and these survivors. I hope that everyone in the hall will join me in showing mercy and justice, and let the sinners be punished!"

Earl Thompson brought out the teachings of the dragon god, which immediately bluffed many people.

If the old earl's courage and swordsmanship were half as strong as the ability to hold a big hat, maybe the battle with the devil in the Cold Mist Mountains would not be so hard.

"Since both sides insist on their own opinions, there is only one possibility: someone is lying. I think that the Lord Dragon God can only decide who is an honest and upright person and who is a villain who is full of lies."

After Cardinal Rodriguez finished speaking, he exchanged glances with Cardinal Ruduo who was sitting on his right hand side.

Although the three major temples are in the same camp and have always advanced and retreated on major issues of right and wrong, they also fought fiercely in private in order to compete for believers and spheres of influence.However, Rodriguez knew that the old stick of the Temple of Dawn had a close relationship with the Grand Duke of the Scepter, and they were friends for many years, and Gordon was the junior that the Grand Duke of the Scepter favored, so the other party would definitely agree with his decision, because it was a great deal for Gao Deng. Deng is very beneficial.

"Is the Holy Light ruling?" His Royal Highness asked.

Cardinal Rodriguez's tone was firm: "Yes, the Holy Light ruled. The rules of the noble assembly were established by the Church of Erasis back then. As a humble servant of the God of Law, I think that under the current situation , can only be solved by strictly following the rules. Emotional, or endless arguments. It will not solve the problem."

"I agree." Cardinal Lu Duo nodded, looking at the lifelike portrait of the platinum dragon on the dome of the hall.

This portrait is not just a famous painting by a famous artist.A permanent four-ring magical spell is added to it, which can be used to detect lies.Basically, it's like a lie detector.

In the aristocratic assembly, the process of using divine magic to detect the lies of the participants is called "the ruling of the holy light".

After discussing with the three cardinals representing the three major churches and Prince Satyas representing the royal family, they agreed to Cardinal Rodriguez's proposal.

Below the line of sight of the platinum dragon Bahamut on the dome, there is a large round stone brick that has been specially treated on the ground.A dragon language is engraved on it: Under the baptism of the platinum holy light, there is no shadow to hide.This is where the Platinum Judge stands.

To activate and operate this permanent four-ring magic circle, a platinum temple priest with at least seven rings or above is required.There are not many people present who meet this condition, and Cardinal Sandro of the Platinum Temple happens to be one of them.

This old man, who was so old that his face was wrinkled like orange peel, after the convening of the noble assembly.Not a single word was said, not even a single action that could clearly show his attitude.He is like a slowly weathered stone statue.Sitting on a high throne.

But now.When Cardinal Sandro recited the incantation and the holy emblem in his hand emitted brilliant white light, the aging and decayed aura on his body was immediately swept away, and the whole person looked sacred and solemn.

The nobles are fine, but the civilians who were testified by Joshua have long since fallen to their knees.He kept chanting prayers.

"Sure enough, it is a high-level magic stick, with extraordinary temperament..." Gordon thought.

After the magic circle was activated, Ms. Bishop was the first to stand on it.

His Royal Highness asked: "In the name of Bahamut! Ma'am, please answer truthfully. On the ancient road, you left all the poisoned people behind. Was it a collective decision or was it bewitched by Baron Gordon Freeman?" ?”

"It's a collective decision. My answer will never change."

Ms. Bishop's sonorous voice fell, and the white light projected from the portrait of the dragon god above her head did not change.If the person involved is lying, the platinum holy light that bathes the whole body like warm sunlight will immediately become scorching hot, making people unbearably painful.

After Ms. Bishop, Viscount Angelo and Viscount Curtis also passed the ruling of the Holy Light.Now, the situation was reversed, and the nobles cast suspicious eyes on Earl Thompson and Baron Joshua.

"You two, are you sure you want to carry out the Holy Light Judgment? If you admit it now, you can suffer less." Rob Antello, who had been watching from the sidelines, said suddenly.As the highest title in the Far Frost Province, although his status in the noble assembly is not as good as the four people representing the three major churches and the royal family, he still has the right to question the parties at any time.

The words of the Grand Duke of the Scepter were not aimless, or just to humiliate his political opponents.As a powerful mage, he knew the working principle of the Holy Light's Judgment Circle, and he would not think that it was really a display of Bahamut's divine power and was sacred and inviolable like those foolish men and women.

It's just a four-ring magical technique of the school of mind.If the testee has a strong mind, or some natural resistance, or wears a magic item that specifically suppresses mental spells, the effect of the Holy Light's judgment will be greatly reduced.

Earl Thompson must have come prepared, and it would be very difficult to use the Holy Light ruling to expose his lies.However, Rob Antello felt that using language to put pressure on the other party—especially Joshua, who seemed emotionally unstable and poor in mental quality, might have a miraculous effect.

Not everyone can calmly face the ruling of the Holy Light—especially those who have ghosts in their hearts.

Hearing Rob Antello's words, Joshua Feder's fat body shook violently, and there seemed to be more fluid mixed with oil and sweat on his face... (to be continued...)
