Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 279 Everything is for God (Happy Lantern Festival)

"Were you resurrected by Randall Crest and became his puppets for a while?"

The Assistant Inquisitor asked.

"Yes."

The witches answered truthfully.

"Were you murdered by Randall Crest?"

The Assistant Inquisitor asked again.

"Yes."

The witches answered again.

People in the gallery began to murmur and couldn't help but start discussing the seriousness of the matter.

Killing the witch, resurrecting the witch, and ordering them to assassinate Li En, what was Randall's motive? Could it be that he was just jealous of Li En's talent?

The Imperial Witch is the property of the empire and does not belong to any private individual. Randall's actions have undoubtedly touched the bottom line of the empire. Augustus's face was gloomy and his eyes were fixed on Randall.

There was no extra expression on Randall's face. Although it was beyond his expectation that the witches were still alive, he had thought about the worst outcome.

"Then why didn't you succeed in killing Li En?"

The Assistant Inquisitor asked.

"Our actions were predicted in advance. We are no match for the legendary witch Dorothy."

Ashley said.

The 12 assistant judges all lowered their heads and wrote down the witches' words in their notebooks with round-bellied fountain pens, adding their own judgments at the end.

"Plaintiff Lee En Moriah, do you have anything to add to what the witness said?"

The judge looked at Li En.

Li En shook his head. "No, everything is true."

"Okay. Defendant Randall Crest, you plead guilty to killing the Imperial Expeditionary Witches, resurrecting them, and instructing them to assassinate Li En."

The Inquisitor asked Randall.

Randall remained silent.

"Did you use the Hand of the Gifted Fetish to resurrect the witch?"

Supreme Inquisitor Albert asked.

Randall still didn't answer.

"Even if you don't answer, we still have a way to prove it."

Albert invited professional appraisers from the Institute of Wisdom. They had a special way to identify the abilities of the gifts. They only needed to take a drop of blood from the resurrected witch Ashley and others to detect 80% of the abilities of the gifts, with an accuracy of up to %.

The knights helped the wise man carry the bulky testing equipment into the court.

The wise men took a drop of blood from each of the ten witches, melted it into ten trays, and placed the trays into the belly of a detector that was similar to a large boiler.

The knights carried three boxes of magic stones and dropped them into the boiler at the bottom of the detector.

The magic stone burned, driving the equipment to start working.

The surface of the detector vibrated violently, and lines of text appeared on the screen.

The inspector was also a wise man. He repeated the words that appeared on the instrument to everyone.
"Gift: God's Hand, power, utilizing divinity, resurrecting the dead."

"Thank you."

Albert nodded slightly to the inspector, and the inspector and the knights moved the huge instrument together and left the court.

"Defendant Randall Crest, did the divinity you used to resurrect the witch come from other high-ranking believers in the Church?"

Albert asked.

The three cardinals in the audience could no longer sit still. They stood up and looked at Randall nervously.

"His Holiness the Pope used the divinity of other special believers? How is this possible?!"

"The existing special believers of the Holy See are all intact. I can ask them to testify for His Holiness the Pope right now. This is slander!"

"quiet."

Albert glanced at the audience indifferently, then returned his gaze to Randall.
"If you refuse to answer any questions, we can still make you speak."

The last thing the Wisdom Institute lacks is tools.

Randall raised his eyes slightly and said calmly, "Yes, I used the divinity of the deceased believers in the Ruins Temple."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the courtroom.

When the three cardinals saw that the Pope had acknowledged it, they no longer had the position to defend him.

Moreover, even within the church, using the divinity of deceased believers is contrary to doctrine and such behavior is unprecedented.

Even the high-ranking heads of the Creed families could not help but join in the discussion.

"I can't believe this is all true. Randall took advantage of other people's divinity."

"The Hand of God can actually absorb divinity."

"Why on earth would Randall do this?"

Not only the heads of the Creed family wanted to know why Randall wanted to do this, but the inquisitors of the Court of Inquisition also wanted to know.

So they asked the same question.

"Why are you doing this?"

Randall looked at Li En and said,
“It’s all for God.”

"Quibbling! The God of Tiger will never allow you to do this!"

Archbishop Damir, the dean of the seminary, stood up and shouted angrily.

A cold smile appeared on Randall's lips.

"The real heretic is Li En Moriah. If you don't believe me, you can have the wise men examine his entries again."

"In the Supreme Court, Lee En Moriah has proven that he is not a heretic. Randall, it is you who will be judged now, not Lee En Moriah."

Albert said.

"Yes, but since you asked why I did all this, it is inseparable from investigating Lee En Moriah. I have 100% evidence to prove that he is a heretic."

Randall said.

Li En narrowed his eyes. Was he waiting for him here?
"What evidence?"

An auxiliary inquisitor asked.

"Everyone here is a true wise man. You should know the history of the Dark Ages. At that time, it was not humans who truly ruled the world, but the dragons. And the god they worshipped was not the God of Tiger, but Mohan."

Randall said.

Although Li En knew a little, he didn't know as much as Randall.

The Forest Witch and others knew nothing about this history, and expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Until the Holy Era, the great God Tiger drove out the evil god, the dragon race was completely destroyed, and there were no more true dragons in the world."

Randall said slowly, "Even in the Azure Dragon Court, only sub-dragons exist. So why did Miss Dorothy Hall bring back a real dragon?"

"Does this real dragon really belong to Miss Dorothy Hall? The answer is no. It belongs to Lee En Moriah and is direct evidence of Lee En's faith in Mohan."

"If you don't believe it, you can let the black dragon be tested by a wise man to see if it is a real dragon."

Augulas frowned when he heard Randall's words.

The Black Dragon belongs to Li En? Not Dorothy Hall?
Why is the dragon with Dorothy?

In other words, Li En had been deceiving himself before. What was the relationship between Li En and Dorothy?
Augulas's face darkened, and his eyes swept coldly across Li En and Randall's faces.

Now he wants both of them dead.

Although Li En was indeed useful most of the time and was a pillar of the empire, he touched his bottom line.

This dragon says it all.

Her value is already equivalent to a gift.

Augulas knew very well what kind of relationship was needed to be able to bestow a gift.

No wonder Dorothy's attitude towards me is completely different now. Not only does she not respond to my feelings, she also avoids me.

Was it because of the man in front of him? Li En Moriah, very good, dare to tease the emperor of the empire.

Auguras clenched his fists and vowed to make Lien Moria pay the price.

But the most important thing right now is to trip up Pope Randall.

Li En frowned slightly. Randall's move was really cruel.

Directly dismantling Alexander's true identity would not only label himself a heretic, but also destroy his alliance with Auguras.

He could sense the murderous intent in Auglas' eyes.

But I had already expected him to say that, so...

"Lean Moriah, what do you have to say in your defense?"

Albert looked at Li En.

Li En said, "The black dragon is not mine, and it is not a real dragon, but a sub-dragon. If Miss Dorothy agrees, we can let the wise man test the dragon."

Dorothy Hall in the audience nodded slightly and released the petite black dragon from her arm.

The black dragon leaped into the air and transformed into a 3-meter-long sub-dragon.

Albert immediately asked the wise men to come and test the dragon's attributes.

Everyone in the courtroom watched this scene curiously.

"Judge, it's Yalong."

The wise man said.

The court once again fell into noisy discussion until the gavel struck again.

"quiet!"

Albert made a majestic voice.

After everyone quieted down, he said to Randall, "If you falsely accuse the plaintiff again, you will also be charged with defaming the nobility."

"This dragon is fake. It's not the original black dragon."

Randall said.

Unfortunately, no one believes him anymore.

After all, this dragon looks exactly like Dorothy's dragon before.

And she was indeed fake. Her real body was Eunice, a sub-dragon who was good at changing her form. She could imitate the appearance of any dragon.

Eunice flew back to Dorothy, transformed back into a well-behaved little dragon, and landed on her shoulder.

Because of the false accusation against Li En, Randall was once again put in a passive position, and all the evidence pointed to his triple crime.

Augulas found out that Randall lied, so he breathed a sigh of relief and gave up his murderous intention towards Li En.

Since this dragon has nothing to do with Li En, he doesn't need to suspect that Li En has any relationship with Dorothy.

After more than ten judges discussed it, they came to the conclusion that
"Randall Crest, according to Articles 17, 24, and 356 of the Holy Code, you should be sentenced to death. You may not plead guilty, but you must accept the punishment."

"You have no right to deal with me. I've said that everything I do is for God, to eliminate heresy. As long as you can prove that Lee En Moriah is a heretic, I will be innocent."

Randall said.

"Regardless of whether Lee En Moriah is a heretic or not, you have plundered the divinity of other special believers, which already constitutes the crime of heresy. Heretics have no right to judge heretics."

Albert said.

"I plundered the divinity of the dead within the Ruins Temple. It seems you all don't know the true meaning of the Ruins Temple. The Ruins Temple exists to store divinity for the Pope to use the Hand of God. Since you don't know, I can show you the 'Holy Code: The Pope'."

Randall took out a book from his arms and the servant handed it to Albert.

After reading it, Albert nodded slowly and handed the book to the other judges to read.

After reading it, the twelve assistant judges discussed it among themselves and came to the conclusion again.

"Even if you are exempted from the charge of heresy, you are still guilty of killing the witch, attempting to control the witch, and assassinating the empire's new noble."

"Even a hundred witches cannot compare to one Pope."

The cardinal stood up and spoke in a loud voice.

That’s right, the top management all knew that the witch was just a product of an experiment.

But such things dare not be made public.

Dorothy stretched out her hand and released a vine from her palm. The vine directly wrapped around the speaking bishop and instantly crashed into the wall, leaving spider-web-like marks on the wall. The bishop also vomited blood.

"Say what you just said again."

Dorothy looked at him coldly.

Cardinal Phil Morgan still had vines wrapped around his neck, and he could only make hoarse sounds in pain.
"I...I, I'm not talking about you, Lady Dorothy."

Dorothy retracted the vines, and Phil Morgan slowly fell to the ground. The servant of God immediately helped him up.

"Miss Dorothy Hall, please don't do anything in the Court of Wise."

Inquisitor Albert warned Dorothy, "If you do that again, please leave here."

"I see."

Dorothy said calmly.

Augustus really wanted to talk to Dorothy, but looking at her expression, she was obviously in a bad mood.

"Randall, if you can prove that Li En Moriah is a heretic, your guilt will be reduced."

Albert said.

Li En and Augulas raised their heads at the same time and looked at Albert with surprise in their eyes.

So he is Randall's man?
It’s really hard to guard against.

"I request a word check on Lee En Moriah."

Randall said.

"I object."

Grand Duke Moria stood up, and the sword at his waist made a buzzing sound, as if it would be unsheathed at any time.

"It's Randall who's on trial now, not my grandson."

"invalid objection."

Albert ignored Grand Duke Moria's objections.

Grand Duke Moria frowned slightly and gripped the hilt of his sword.

"If you resort to violence here, you will be violating the laws of the Empire, and you will be held accountable."

Albert said.

"Grandpa, it's okay, let them test it, I'm not afraid."

Li En looked at Grand Duke Moria with a smile, "Because I have never been a heretic."

Seeing that Li En was confident, Grand Duke Moria said nothing more and sat back in his seat.

Earl Hall's emotions were somewhat complicated. On one side was his former best friend, and on the other side was his daughter's fiancé. He actually didn't want to participate in this trial.

The inspector was invited into the courtroom again. He brought out the entry detector and tested Li En.

Li En put his hand on the black entry detector, and the detector quickly showed the result.

The entries are displayed for everyone to see, but there are no heretical entries.

It’s not that Li En hid the entry, but that he and his clone exchanged positions in time.

Li En's clone, wearing a cloak and hiding among Grand Duke Moria's guards, also followed him into the Court of Inquisition.

Within a certain distance, Li En can exchange positions with his clone at any time.

Even if the [Clone] attribute is briefly removed from the clone, the clone can still exist for 30 seconds.

And these 30 seconds are enough for a wise person to complete the test.

Randall never expected the test results to be like this.

Even if the presiding judge was his man, he couldn't continue to speak for him.

　I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!
