I'm in Terra, governing a weird little country.

Behind the Holy Stone, where Ernst couldn't see it, Enya Shivaash's face changed again and again, and finally she took a long, deep breath and showed a determined expression.

Ernst spoke slowly: "If the great God Yeragond is watching all this, then I am definitely not guilty."

"So, come on."

A sarcastic smile flashed across the corner of the Great Elder's mouth, and together with Ernst, he cast his gaze on the tall holy stone.

10 minutes is the time to wait for the Lord Yelagund to make a decision.

After 10 minutes, everything will become clear!

Chapter 18 The tit-for-tat confrontation in Manzhuyuan

The great god Yeragond does not perform miracles for a single person.

This is common sense that every cleric knows, and as the Saint of Kalan, Enya is fully aware of this truth.

From the time she became the Saint of Kalan to this day, no matter how devoutly she chanted scriptures or prayed and practiced diligently, Yeragund had never responded to her.Perhaps in the eyes of the great god, only Kjerag's humans are meaningful, and any individual among humans is just a drop in the ocean, leaving no trace in his long life.

Therefore, the Holy Stone Trial was a scam from the beginning.

After 10 minutes, the Holy Stone will not undergo any changes. Its gray surface will still be gray and its icy shell will still be cold. It will not show the power of Yeragond, let alone convey Yeragond's will.

But Enya knew that for the great elder, this was enough.

Not taking a stand is also a statement. The experienced Grand Elder has a hundred ways to interpret a non-existent oracle and twist it into words that are unfavorable to Ernst.

By then, Ernst will face the worst outcome.

He will be whipped, exiled, hung on a mountain peak to freeze to death, or imprisoned on a cliff to be eaten by feathered beasts. Kjerag has no specific criminal law, so how to deal with sinners depends entirely on the imagination of the judge. .

Only I can save him!

Enya has never been so nervous. She has never liked her identity. The Saint of Kalan is a shackle on her body and a proof of Enxiodis's indifference. But now she is extremely happy, because there is no doubt that the Saint of Kalan is Has the final say on any issue involving Yelagund.

Although the Great Elder could use various reasons to prevaricate, deceive, or even refuse her to exercise this power, this was all without Enya's knowledge.But now, she is already standing at the scene.

As long as she is present, the right to interpret the Holy Stone Oracle is in her hands. If she wants to stand up and interpret the "oracle", not even the Great Elder can stop her!

"come on."

A small voice seemed to ring in her ears, and Enya turned her head, but there was no one beside her.

Maybe I was too nervous.

Enya comforted herself, calmed down, and waited for time to pass.

And in the audience of the Holy Stone Trial, Enxiodis was also ready.

He lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist. The hour hand was about to reach nine o'clock, and the 10-minute waiting time was about to end.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Holy Stone of Yelagund will not change in any way, and God will not cast any eyes on it. The Grand Elder can’t wait to stand in front of the stage and announce to everyone that he has obtained it. Inspired by Lagunde, Ernst was immediately declared guilty.

By that time, Holy Stone Square will be boiling.

Boiling means chaos.

Enxiodis has already ambushed the mountain snow ghosts on the hillside cliffs, covering his body with snow. When the chaos breaks out, they will immediately rush out and suppress the guards of the Perrochi family.The Black Knight Mace, who is following him as a bodyguard, will rush to the stage, take away Ernst, and send it to the messenger at the foot of the mountain, who will send Ernst out of Kjerag.

The plan is very simple, so it's not easy to make mistakes.The only variable was Ernst himself.

But Mace is not a good-tempered little girl. If Ernst is unwilling to follow her, then there is a possibility that she will knock Ernst unconscious and carry him away.At least, Enxiodis has authorized Ernst to be temporarily incapacitated if necessary.

Next, just wait quietly for the time to arrive.

At the foot of the holy mountain.

Luther Magnus and "Bridge Clamp" Cliff, who have no right to climb the Holy Mountain to watch the trial, are waiting for the outcome of the trial.

Before the hour hand on the clock pointed to nine o'clock, Cliff's cell phone rang first.Old man Sakota gave Luther an apologetic look, then took out his cell phone and answered the channel:

"yes?"

"Boss, this is the Razer team. We have discovered a special situation." A capable female voice came from the microphone.

Cliff raised his eyebrows, turned on the speaker phone, put it on the table in front of him, and replied:

"Say."

Razer's voice sounded: "Our people found many lurking armed men on the cliffs of Kalan Mountain. It is roughly estimated that there are nearly a hundred people. They have surrounded the Holy Stone Square. What do we need to do?"

"Armed personnel?" Luther Magnus smacked his lips and looked at Cliff, "It seems that we are not the only ones who want to do something in this trial."

Cliff smiled slightly and ordered:

"Don't worry about them. Prioritize the safety of the target. The target must not be threatened. Don't worry about the rest."

"Understood." Razer replied and immediately hung up the communication.

Cliff then looked at Luther and said calmly: "Don't worry, you can completely trust my people's professionalism."

"Prime Minister Ernst will not have any problems. He will always sit safely in his position. You don't need to have any worries about this. Because you chose Black Steel International."

"Of course." Luther nodded with satisfaction and watched the hour hand slowly slide towards nine o'clock.

.............

On the Holy Stone Square, after counting 600 times silently in his heart, the great elder suddenly opened his eyes.

He turned back and looked at the holy stone of Yelagund. Just as he expected, the white holy stone stood steadily on the mountain peak, without glowing, heating, floating or breaking.

No miracle happened.

He cast a mocking gaze on Ernst, who held his head high, as if to say: Ha, look, everything is under my control.

Since you keep saying that you are innocent and that you are doing it for the future of Kjerag, then why does the Great God Yeragond not care about your life or death at all and not send any revelations?

He expected to see a trace of regret or fear on Ernst's face, but unfortunately, Ernst didn't even look in his direction, but calmly and firmly turned his gaze to Saint Jeragonde. Shi, an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Can you still laugh?

The anger in the great elder's heart was ignited again. He snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze, and took a step forward. He was about to walk to the holy stone and announce his "oracle", but the next second, a silver-gray figure passed him. , stood where he should be first.

"Saint?" The great elder looked at the girl standing in front of the holy stone in astonishment, and a terrible guess suddenly appeared in his blank mind.

Wait, she doesn't mean to...

He quickened his pace suddenly, trying to stop Enya from speaking, but the girl's gentle but firm voice had already resounded throughout the square:

"The 10 minutes have expired, and the benevolent Lord Yelagund has made his decision."

"The holy stone, as white and flawless as the Holy Mountain, has reflected the heart of Ernst Shivaash. Its surface is not stained with any darkness or filth. This proves that Ernst Shivaash's Not guilty! Yeragond protected this god’s people and restored his most important innocence!”

Enya's words echoed among the mountains, and the entire Holy Stone Square suddenly fell into a strange silence.

The crowd was in shock. They still didn't understand how Ernst, who had just been marked as a "sinner" by the great elder, suddenly received Yeragond's forgiveness, but they did not dare to question it, even if Enya Shiva Ash is the sister of Ernst Shiva Ash, but she is also the Saint of Kalan who serves the great god Yelagund. She should not and dare not lie, because cheating and distorting the oracle are taboos!You will be punished by God!

Enxiodis was also shocked. He never expected that Enya would choose to stand up and speak for Ernst at this time and on this occasion, and even fabricated the oracle of Yeragond to declare Ernst innocent!

Of course he knew that this oracle must be fabricated, because the holy stone had not actually changed at all, and both she and the great elder were just telling lies with their eyes open.

But she, how dare she?When did my sister have such courage?

The black knight next to him lowered his head in surprise and glanced at Enxiodis who was sitting. His expression seemed to be asking: "The plan has been disrupted. I can't get there?"

Enxiodis's expression changed again and again, and finally he gritted his teeth, loosened his right fist into a palm, and pressed down.

This action means that the plan is suspended but not evacuated.

His intuition told him that the great elder would not give up so easily.

On the stage, the Great Elder also froze on the spot in shock and anger, and was caught in a dilemma for a moment.

His words just now have almost labeled Ernst as treasonous and guilty, and the words are dead.And he had been laying the groundwork for so long, wasn't it just to finally pronounce him guilty, not only to give the reformists a show of strength, but also to greatly enhance his authority as the chief elder of Manzhuyuan?

As a result, now, because of Enya's words, all plans have been disrupted!

He was already being held on fire. If Ernst was not guilty, when the trial was over and he found a valid reason, how could he let him go?

Even if he lets him go, he has just been on stage for so long and passionately inciting, but now he is denied by one sentence. Wouldn't everything he did before become a clown's behavior?By then, what prestige will he, the Great Elder, have?

This is no longer a small willfulness. Enya's move has truly threatened his physical and political life!

How could he admit defeat and wait for death?

A fierce light flashed in the Great Elder's eyes.Enya has only been a saint for more than ten years, but he has been a great elder for decades. What kind of person have they seen, and what kind of saint has he not dealt with?

Going up and down the mountain in Manzhuyuan, I asked, who is in charge?Is it a saint?Still a great elder!

If you dare to stab me in the back, then be prepared, we will defeat each other to the death!

Without waiting for the crowd of Kjerag people in the audience to react, the Great Elder took a step forward and held down Enya's shoulders. The force made Enya's expression twist for a moment due to pain.

She turned around and saw the angry expression on the Great Elder's face, followed by a loud question:

"My Lady Saint, how dare you distort the oracle of Lord Yeragond!"

As soon as he said this, it meant that there were two completely opposite voices within Manzhuyuan. No matter what the outcome was, the prestige of Manzhuyuan would be greatly reduced.

But, it's better than having his rights, Manzhuyuan's rights stolen by this traitorous saint and that ridiculous government!

And with this tit-for-tat shout, the crowd exploded in an instant!

Chapter 19 I am only responsible for completing my tasks

For Kjerag, faith is its soul.

Unlike other countries on this land that believe in God but do not worship God, Kjerag was really created by Yeragond!If this isolated snow country had not been protected by the power of Yeragond, it would not have been able to become a paradise like a paradise without being attacked by natural disasters for hundreds of years.

People's faith in Yeragond is so devout and firm that it cannot be shaken by a few words.Therefore, even Ernst had no intention to deny Jeragonde or promote atheism from the beginning.Because that is not progress, that is stupidity, ingratitude, and a manifestation of the inability to even seek truth from facts.

But what Ernst didn't expect was that instead of targeting Manzhuyuan, there was a problem within Manzhuyuan itself.

This was a great shock to the entire people of Kjerag.

On one side was the Saint of Kallan, the most respected religious leader of Kjelag, who had gone through many tests and selections and represented Yeragund Germany, announcing that Yeragund believed Ernst was not guilty.

On the other side, the most virtuous and respected elder of Manzhuyuan, who had been laying the groundwork for a long time and said a series of words that sounded quite reasonable and had already aroused people's emotions and public opinion, announced that the saint had distorted Yelagund. oracle, Ernst was guilty.

At this moment, the same question popped up in the minds of the Kjerag people watching on the Holy Stone Square: Who should I believe?

Do you believe in the Holy Lady of Kalan?That would be denying who he was just now, denying the words of the Great Elder whom he had always respected and recognized since birth, and denying the habits and common sense he had accumulated in his long life.Be forced to accept and understand the new things Ernst brings.

This is an extremely difficult thing.
