Successors of all mankind

After a long while, he said to the butler:

“Remember this: you can help with this, but you absolutely cannot do it in my name. When you help him, you must ensure that it is limited to his own actions, not my intentions!”

“I understand, sir.”

The butler was about to leave immediately.

But it was at this moment that the Baron sent a letter.

The old man could tell at a glance that the messenger was one of the baron's men from his attire.

"Why are the deputy judge's men looking for me?"

The messenger bowed respectfully and then presented the Baron's handwritten document:

"Your Excellency, the Baron, on behalf of the Nur Court, hereby submits an application to you."

"What's the meaning?"

The old man didn't move; instead, the knight beside him opened the letter for him.

The messenger then said unhurriedly:

"Lord Jules Robespierre requests that the trial be presided over by the strategist!"

"On this point, the Sultanau court has already granted Lord Jules Robespierre's legitimate request!"

"My lord, all that is needed now is your nod."

Jules Robespierre...and this letter?

The old man stared at the other person for a moment, then smiled and said:

"It seems the Baron has confirmed that the other party is Robespierre?"

The messenger did not answer, but respectfully said:

"Your Honor, what are your thoughts on the court's decision?"

What do you think?

Haha, you really had a great time.

Refusing is like telling them there's something fishy going on. But if you agree, everything has to be laid bare, and any problems will be immediately apparent.

What can I do?

"Of course, why not? The Hudson family firmly believes that the divine will of justice will give us the justice we deserve!"

"Furthermore, please tell the Baron that, in order to witness this rare moment and to express my gratitude, I will invite the sisters of the Sisters of the Rose to be present as witnesses!"

"So there's no problem, right?"

The old man questioned the messenger in a low voice.

Such a forceful and confident answer left the messenger somewhat puzzled.

After pausing for a moment, he bowed and said:

"Rest assured, my lord, I will relay your message to the Baron truthfully and arrange everything as soon as possible!"

After the messenger left, the knight asked with some unease:

"Sir, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

The old man turned around and looked at the other person.

The knight carefully considered his words and said:

"After all, after all, in this matter, we are probably the ones with more problems."

Regardless of whether that person was a lowly commoner or not, the Baron's faction would probably try to get them to clarify their relationship with Settlement 386.

Even if they do execute that person, they will likely still be unable to escape the entanglement of the Baron's faction.

"The Divine Strategist is absolutely fair and just, and you've always thought so too, haven't you?"

This unexpected answer left the knight speechless.

"Sir, isn't that so?"

The divine strategist is absolutely fair, which is why he was kept on a high shelf.

This is practically common knowledge within the slave-owning aristocratic circle.

The old man simply smiled and revealed a hidden story from the past:

"One hundred and sixty years ago, when the Sisters of the Roses handed over the divine secrets to our servant Nor, it was our Hudson family that was responsible for receiving them!"

"Therefore, my ancestors knew things that others did not, and they carefully hid them so that we, their descendants, could rely on the fair and just divine intervention to obtain a perfect result at crucial moments!"

The knight was utterly shocked:

"My lord, do you mean..."

The old man said with a smile:

"Oh, don't overthink it. How could a divine strategist be biased?"

Chapter 42 Welcome, Son of Man

Since both parties have agreed that the diviner will preside over the proceedings.

Then everything else becomes simple.

Almost the next day, this noble gathering, which should have taken at least several days to prepare, was convened under the Hudson family's eager push.

Furthermore, the nobles attending the meeting were surprised to find that the Hudson family had invited a very unexpected guest.

A light cruiser, escorted by two destroyers, sailed in from the northwest.

It slowly landed on the slave of Nor.

Looking at the three airships so close by, almost everyone who sees them is curious about who owns this fleet.

And those nobles who stood atop the building, able to see the ship's flag in the distance.

They either frowned or lowered their heads in fear.

All three airships were flying a flag embroidered with roses.

This is the fleet of the Sisters of the Roses.

As a powerful organization capable of separating faith from the Human-Machine Holy Church, the arrival of the nuns made the nobles sense that the situation was escalating.

The hosts of the Slave Nor were naturally aware of the arrival of the Sisters of the Roses.

They waited early at the port to greet the nuns who were walking towards them.

To the world, or rather to the impression of Yu Le as a gentle and devout woman...

They should be described as divine blades walking amidst the flames of war, their aura both fierce and aloof.

They did not wear soft gauze dresses or simple robes; instead, they were all dressed in minimalist, dark ink combat monastic robes.

The top and bottom are fitted neatly, with matte alloy armor adorning the shoulder blades and waist.

Unlike the elaborate costumes of the priests of the Human Machine Holy Church, they shed all the complexity, leaving only their competence and coldness suited to the fight.

The only things that could highlight a woman's softness were the pure black headscarves she wore and the white veils that served as decoration, barely covering her eyebrows and eyes.

As soon as the two sides met, the High Sister interrupted all the speeches prepared by the nobles and looked at the old man of the Hudson family, saying:

"Sister Rose will respond to Hudson's request to attend the ceremony and ensure that the oracle's judgment is carried out. Please do not waste our time; when will the public trial be held?"

The nobleman, having met with a soft target, smiled, stepped aside, and said:

"We've been waiting for you all, but are you sure you don't need to rest? Many of the young ladies in our Nuer's household hope to join the Sisters of the Rose. Perhaps you could meet these future sisters?"

The senior nun, however, showed no interest and said:

“We do not reject noblewomen from joining us, but we will not change our selection methods. If they really want to become our sisters, then they should go to the temple to participate in the selection.”

"So, let's begin! Since they've been waiting for us, we've arrived."

After saying that, he pushed past the other person and walked straight towards the courtroom.

'Your selection process is so ridiculous, most of the people you pick would die, only a fool would actually go!'

After muttering a few curses to himself, the nobleman followed with a forced smile.

The slaves, Nor, cannot afford to offend these crazy women.

Only when they saw the divine machine that their sisters had given to the slaves Noel a hundred years ago did these nuns finally reveal a bit of the gentleness befitting their female identity.

Led by the high nun, they all knelt before the jury watchtower positioned in the center of the courtroom, praying for justice.

All beliefs in this world point to humanity.

The Sisters' Church and the Human Machine Church are the two largest faith groups.

However, unlike the Human Machine Cult, which emphasizes divine intervention, the nuns are more inclined towards humanity.

Shenji had no interest in these devout nuns and had no intention of responding.

This ingenious machine, which resembles a ship's rudder, silently observes everything around it with a dark red camera placed in the center of the rudder.

Outside the courtroom, the baron, who had just arrived after a short break, addressed Yu Le:

“Mr. Jules, the Hudson family has now invited the Sisters of the Roses to ensure that the judgment is carried out. It can be said that with the guarantee of these sisters, even we slaves, Noel, have no way to influence the final outcome.”

"And I must remind you of a small problem I noticed. That is, the old fox of the Hudson family spent some time alone with Shenji yesterday, although it wasn't long. But my men told me that the box they brought in was empty!"

"So, are you still sure you want to go up?"

Yu Le smiled and said:

Why not?

Does that mean if I back down now, everything will be fine? I've already put on this act, how am I supposed to run away now...?

Moreover, Yu Le never had the chance to meet Shenji.

But he had a strong feeling that he absolutely could not miss this opportunity.

Or rather, I'm sure nothing will happen to me here!

The baron repeated in a low voice:

"With the nuns there, there's nothing we can do to interfere with the outcome. And didn't you understand? We suspect that old fox in the Hudson family did something wrong?"

Although he had no problems afterward, his sixth sense was telling him that the old fox was playing dirty tricks.

The Hudson family must be plotting behind the scenes; they don't want to lose this breakthrough point.

"We can't cancel the public trial, but if you say you have health problems, we can postpone it for you!"

"No, Your Excellency, thank you for your kindness, but I have nothing to fear."

Yu Le deliberately used German, which made the Baron hesitate for a moment, and then he stepped aside.

Since this person is truly so confident, there's no need for him to cause trouble.

If he's just plain stupid, then there's no need to waste any more time on him.

However, the accent of the capital city was perfectly natural.

The Baron decided to give Yu Le a small helping hand:

"Open the door for Lord Jules!"

The bailiff at the entrance immediately pushed open the main door and shouted:

"Lord Jules Robespierre has arrived!"

At this moment, almost all eyes and lights were fixed on Yu Le.

The gate and the iron can had long been huddled in a corner, cautiously peeking at the nobleman who was submerged in the halo of light.

Yu Le walked forward slowly without changing his expression and went to the defendant's table placed at the very front of the divine strategist.

As Yu Le stepped onto the stage, a dark red light, distinct from all the lights and lines of sight, fell upon her in astonishment.

Then scan back and forth, confirm, scan, confirm.

The divine mechanism, resembling a steering wheel, was also constantly turning and approaching.
