But when they saw the long list, they were stunned.
With such a long list of names, how many people would have to be killed?
The citizens were shocked at first, but after seeing the specific names, their mouths opened wide.
They would never have imagined that these guys would be brought to trial one day.
"Lynd Campbell?!"
"Bunir Windsor?!!"
"this!"
The citizens' eyes widened as they looked at those extremely distinguished names.
A look of disbelief.
These people were truly out of their reach. Who on earth was so bold as to judge them?
"Chief Inquisitor, Alina?"
After seeing Elina's name at the end, the citizens couldn't help but start talking.
"You said, is this Lady Elina the Lady Elina who killed three dark princes at the border in the story?"
"Of course it is! How could anyone be so bold as to touch these masters?"
"I think even Lady Elina can't do anything to them. After all, with so many nobles united together, even the Emperor would have to be cautious."
"Anyway, someone finally came to punish them. These beasts should have died long ago!!"
The citizens were talking about it, but no one had any sympathy for the people on the list.
These guys have done all kinds of bad things, and their evil deeds still have many victims in Tara.
"Lynd Campbell!!"
Upon seeing this man's name, a young boy clenched his fists so hard that his joints turned white.
The boy's face was dirty, and it was obvious that he had just worked as a laborer.
However, although sweat kept dripping down his face, his eyes were full of light.
It was this beast that caused my family to be destroyed!
Today he finally got his retribution, and he was going to tell his father who was paralyzed in bed about it.
He wanted to let his father know that his sister and mother would not die in vain!
Thinking of this, the little boy ran out of the city with joy.
He is not the only one, there are many people who share the same feeling as this little boy.
Years of sin have finally been judged, and those demons are finally going to get the retribution they deserve!
"Kill them! Kill them!! Kill them!!!"
There was no movement at first, but as the number of people increased, the entire Tara Center was packed with people, all waving their arms and roaring in indignation.
Years of pent-up public grievances also erupted at this moment.
Among these people, there are men and women, young and old, and each of them has been oppressed or even harmed by the guys on the list.
"Crackling."
Soon, bursts of firecrackers rang out in the city. No one knew who started it, but it didn't matter anymore. What mattered was that they would be able to see the end of the demons tomorrow, and nothing would make them feel happier than this.
Elina, wearing simple makeup and walking with Lamia in the city of Tara, saw the citizens lighting firecrackers to celebrate, and the coldness in Elina's eyes became more intense.
How many evil things must these people have done in their daily lives to lead to this situation?
When the citizens heard that they were going to be tried, they actually lit firecrackers to celebrate.
"Hoo, Lamia, let's go back. It's time to prepare for tomorrow's public trial."
Seeing this, Elina already understood the public opinion. She didn't need to read on and went straight to the palace with Lamia.
······
"What's going on outside?"
The sound of firecrackers apparently also reached Tara Prison, and the nobles who were imprisoned in the death row cages could not help but start talking.
"It should be those ordinary people setting off firecrackers."
A duke's son said with a sneer.
Although he is now in prison, he is still in a relaxed mood, because the Emperor's visit means that he will not ignore these things.
As long as His Majesty the Emperor cares, what does that girl matter?
"Hey guys, this is where the death row inmates are kept. Do you think we'll be able to send them away this time?"
A noble of low status said timidly.
He usually helps these young masters in front of him, but he didn't expect that he would be caught as well.
"Haha, Orlas, don't worry. That guy can't kill us. Why did His Majesty come? It's because of the pressure from our ancestors. If we offend so many nobles at once, even His Majesty the Emperor will have to consider the consequences."
"That's right. As long as His Majesty takes action, this matter will have to end hastily. Even if there is a punishment, it will only be a few years. With our status, isn't a few years in prison the same as no punishment at all?"
The two dukes' sons laughed.
Their family is not a declining family like the Windsor family. They are all headed by temple-level strongmen.
Moreover, there are more than two people with the same status as them here.
"Yes, that's right. That girl named Elina definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to us."
"Haha, guys, where are you going to have fun? I just got a gorgeous girl."
"What a pity. Elina is too powerful. It would be really great if she could be the protagonist of the banquet."
For a time, the entire Tara prison was filled with obscene words.
All the imprisoned nobles were in a very relaxed state of mind.
If they still had some concerns before His Majesty appeared, then the moment His Majesty showed up, they had something to rely on.
Only Bunier had a gloomy face, because he always felt that the girl would not give in so easily.
······
"What?! Public trial?! Your Majesty, this is a power that only you possess. How dare that Elina!!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being blunt, but Elina's behavior is a complete challenge to the royal authority. She is the one who deserves death."
"Your Majesty, please think twice. If the public trial really goes ahead, it will only hurt our royal power in the end!"
In the study of the palace, Philip was discussing with a group of temple-level warriors the decision that Elina had just made.
As soon as he said he wanted a public trial, he was blocked by them.
Some even issued outright threats.
Everyone knows what a public trial means, and they will never allow such a thing to happen.
"You still have the nerve to beg me now?! Take a good look at what your good descendants have done!!"
Philip was forced into a rage. He waved his arm and swept all the record books on the table that recorded the crimes of the nobles to the ground.
Those temple-level warriors looked at each other and picked up the record books from the ground.
"How is this possible?!!!"
When they saw the recorded crimes, those temple-level strongmen became anxious.
This kind of crime is simply intolerable!
"Your Majesty, are these records really true?! This is impossible!"
Some people immediately raised questions. After all, a cannibalistic feast was too horrifying.
"Haha, I thought it was impossible at first, so I sent my most capable subordinates to investigate, but the result is that this is the truth, and even the human traffickers were caught by me!"
"I have always believed that as long as I gave you wealth and glory, you would serve the empire peacefully, but I never expected, I never expected that there are so many filthy and dirty people hidden in your family!"
"What kind of punishment should be imposed for this crime?!"
Philip paced back and forth like an angry lion. He was angry at Elena's attitude towards him and at these scums.
"Your Majesty, this..."
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
Such a heinous act cannot be justified unless it is punished with death.
"Your Majesty, I agree to execute these beasts who participated in the cannibal feast, but can you please not hold a public trial?"
A temple-level warrior from the Campbell family suddenly raised his head and spoke in a hoarse voice.
This is his last bottom line. Execution is acceptable as long as it is done in secret. He can then use the excuse of sacrificing someone on the border to get away with it. In this way, their Campbell family will still be that glorious family.
But if a public trial is held, then this crime will be made public. Then the entire Tara, no, the entire human race and even the entire Dawn camp will know that a man-eating demon has appeared in their Campbell family.
By then, their family's reputation would be completely ruined!
Now, he already knew that it was impossible to save Linde, and it was enough to save the family's reputation!
"Well..."
Philip groaned, as if hesitating. After all, he felt that he could still agree to this request.
"Impossible! I will put all the people on the list on trial. None of your families will be able to escape!"
Just as Phillip hesitated, a cold voice came from outside the door.
Then, a girl in a pure white dress walked in slowly.
"Your Majesty, these are the names of those who will be executed tomorrow. Please approve them."
"At the same time, this is the time and place for the public trial. I hope you and everyone here can be present."
Having said that, Alina placed two documents on the table, and then looked at everyone sitting here with a cold smile.
(Please give me some monthly tickets on the weekend, thank you everyone)
Chapter 9: Humans are really hard to understand
"What did you say?!!"
Seeing Elina suddenly rushing in, all the temple-level warriors were furious. They stood up and looked directly at Elina.
"Alina, I know you are the most talented person among the human race. In the future, you may become the strongest person in the entire continent, but you are not qualified to make such a clamor now, even if you are the 19th Dawn Guard. Moreover, this is in front of His Majesty."
A powerful temple-level figure said in a deep voice.
No matter what, they couldn't let Elina go to public trial.
Some of their families have a history of thousands of years, and the family reputation has been accumulated bit by bit. If it is really a public trial.
Then all the reputation accumulated over such a long period of time would be ruined.
Compared with the family's honor, the lives of those children are not important.
"That's right, Elina. You are just a Dawn Guard, and the last one at that. Who gave you the power to do such a thing?!"
"Hehe, everyone here is the pillar of the empire. If you really want to do this, it may have an adverse impact on the entire human race."
After someone took the lead in the crusade, many temple-level powerhouses all pointed their spearheads at Elina.
Some people raised questions, while others simply made threats.
As for Philip, after seeing this scene, he had been standing quietly by the side, as if he wanted to see how Elena would end up facing such a situation.
Just like what these guys said, sometimes, strength alone cannot solve all problems.
These people are the pillars of the human race. If they become dissatisfied with the empire, things will become very difficult in the future.
This is also the reason why Philip has always had a headache.
"You want to know why I do this?"
Looking at this group of angry people, Elina burst out laughing.
"Just relying on my strength as a demigod!"
