As Elina's voice fell, the halo representing demigod and the will of the continent descended upon Elina at the same time.

Under the illumination of these two rays of light, Elina looked so sacred, and even Philip felt the pressure coming from her. He had never felt this feeling from the First Guardian.

"this······"

"How can this be?!!"

Faced with the god-like Elina in front of them, many temple-level warriors couldn't help but take a few steps back, and some even fell directly into their chairs.

The terrible pressure even made them feel a little lost in their minds.

Even a demigod-level powerful being should not possess such terrifying pressure!

"Dissatisfaction? Influence? What a joke. Do you think I care about these things now? As long as I exist, the human race will never be threatened by the dark race. I am only seventeen years old now, and I still have more than nine hundred years. This period of time is very long, long enough to train a new generation of pillars."

"And you, by then, will be nothing more than the garbage of the old times and will all be swept into the garbage dump."

Elina's voice was extremely cold, so cold that it made people doubt whether Elina was still human at this moment.

Her eyes, which were originally as blue as the sky, now flashed with purple light, like thunder.

"Gulu."

After hearing Elina's words, everyone swallowed hard.

None of those who can sit here are fools. The meaning behind this sentence is too clear.

This was Elina's naked threat to them.

Sweep it into the garbage? Where does that go?

Of course she will be eliminated.

"You guys, if it weren't for your connivance, if it weren't for you, how could those beasts have slowly come to this point!! If it weren't for you!!"

When I thought of the crimes I had heard from those nobles, and the girl who sacrificed her life to protect the human race.

Elina couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

Her eyes became brighter and brighter as she looked at the group of people in front of her. She raised her right hand slightly, and a terrible power gathered around her hand.

"Elena!"

Seeing this scene, Philip knew that he could not continue to watch the fun, otherwise, all the temple-level professionals here would die here.

He immediately exerted all his strength and went up to grab Elena's hand.

"boom."

When the auras of the two demigods blended with each other, a powerful aura directly overturned the roof and turned into a pillar of light that shot up into the sky. The clouds in the sky were dispersed by this pillar of light. For a moment, a very spectacular but very strange scene appeared above the entire palace.

This view can be observed from all over Tara.

"call."

After being stopped by Philip, Elina let out a breath and put down her right hand.

Then the status was lifted and things returned to normal.

Philip was greatly relieved to see Elina returning to normal. Just now when he tried to stop Elina, Elina glanced at him.

This one look made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave. He had never expected that Elena's strength was so strong. Just a glance from her was enough to make him lose his mind.

What on earth had happened in these few months? Philip was groaning in his heart.

"I hope everyone present can attend tomorrow's public trial. If you are absent, I will visit you in person after the trial."

Looking at the temple-level professionals who had been frightened by her, Elina said something indifferently, then turned and left.

When he reached the door, he paused again and added another sentence.

"By the way, if anyone here dares to reveal my strength, I will find you and kill you on the charge of treason."

"Just take care of yourself."

After saying this last sentence, Elina left without looking back.

Only the nobles with uncertain expressions were left in the room.

Even Philip's expression was very ugly, because Elena's words just now also included him.

This made Philip, who always felt that he was supreme, feel very uncomfortable.

However, judging from the current situation, he is really no match for Elena. In this world where strength is everything, he can only give in.

"Everyone, I think you should know the situation now. To be honest, even I am no match for Elina. You can handle it yourselves tomorrow!"

After saying that, Philip also waved his sleeves and left. Today could be said to be the day he suffered the most humiliation since he became a demigod.

To be honest, it was all caused by these bastards. If they hadn't indulged their descendants, how could they have attracted such an ancestor?

After Philip left, other nobles also left one after another. However, from their ugly faces, it could be seen that Elena's warning did work.

They are the key to the family's ability to gain a foothold in Tara. If anything happens to them, the family's reputation will be worthless.

So, in contrast, they decided to go to the public trial tomorrow!

······

"Elina, are you very tired recently?"

Elina walked silently on the street, Lamia walked beside her but suddenly turned her head and spoke.

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

Hearing Lamia's question, Elina forced a smile.

"Well, I just feel that the way you've been acting lately is unlike your previous personality. It's out of character. It must be tiring to show such a tough attitude."

Lamia shook her head slightly, her golden vertical pupils full of concern.

In fact, Lamia had already discovered that something was wrong with Elina at Margaret's memorial service.

In the past, Elina was always full of laughter, as if nothing could stump her. No matter what difficulties she encountered, her sunny smile would never disappear.

However, since Margaret left, this smile gradually disappeared from Elena's face.

All that was left was a gloomy and cold feeling. Although this emotion was well hidden deep in Elena's heart, Lamia could still feel it.

Moreover, even the smile on Elina's face lost its warmth.

Since the moment she entered Tara, she no longer had that sunny temperament, and was only filled with indifference and anger.

To outsiders, this kind of indifference and anger was very frightening, but Lamia knew that Elina was just holding on.

Because she knew that if she showed even the slightest bit of weakness, she would no longer be able to avenge those girls who died in vain.

This girl used to be a heartless girl, but now she seems to be carrying a lot of things suddenly.

Lamia didn't know how to describe it, but she knew that it would be very tiring if she were suddenly asked to play a role that was completely different from her own personality.

"You, the Doragon people, have never understood human emotions, have you? Why are your senses so sharp today?"

Looking at Lamia's eyes, Elina avoided them guiltily, then turned around and smiled and joked.

"Alina, actually..."

Seeing Elina's evasive look, Lamia patted her shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and then said firmly:

"Actually, I want to tell you that no matter what happens, I will be with you. If you feel tired, I will listen to you."

There is no such thing as euphemism in Dragon Army. They always speak directly to the point. Therefore, Lamia did not embellish her words and spoke directly what was on her mind.

After going through so much together, she had long regarded Elena as a partner whom she could trust with life and death.

"you."

Elina was thrown off balance by Lamia's sudden words. Her face turned slightly red, and she left and slapped Lamia's hand away, shouting:

"Really? What strange things are you saying all of a sudden? Let's go! We still have a lot of things to do tonight!"

After saying that, Elina quickened her pace and rushed towards her residence. Lamia looked at Elina strangely and followed her.

She really couldn't figure out what Elina was thinking.

Humans are so hard to understand!

Chapter 10 Public Trial

"Click."

The lock of the prison was opened, and there was a crisp sound.

When the sun just rose the next day, the jailers, led by a middle-aged man in a black windbreaker, opened the prison.

There was no expression on the man's face. His distinctive hooked nose and nasolabial folds showed his cold and ruthless heart.

When the door was opened, the nobles who were imprisoned by Elena were still sleeping soundly, and the noise of unlocking the door obviously woke them up.

"Huh? What's going on?"

The noble children looked outside with sleepy eyes, and when they saw the wide-open prison door and the man standing there with an indifferent expression, they jumped up excitedly.

"Hahaha, long live the emperor, are you going to let us out so soon?"

"Well, I said it's okay. This matter has alarmed His Majesty, how could we be in trouble?"

"Oh, in Tara, His Majesty is the supreme ruler, and his words are as good as gold. Poor Elina doesn't even understand this. It's a pity that she is too powerful, otherwise I would definitely take revenge on her!"

The noble children were talking and laughing. They believed that His Majesty must have solved all the problems. The presence of His Majesty's most trusted confidant here was enough to explain everything.

"Prince Sebel, can we go out now?"

Linde had the highest status here, so he immediately stood up with a smile, bowed to the middle-aged man, and said.

Saibel is the Emperor's absolute confidant. This temple-level strongman only obeys His Majesty's orders in everything. Even if His Majesty asks him to die now, he probably won't hesitate at all.

It is precisely because of this that his appearance here at this moment means that he has come with the order of His Majesty.

As long as His Majesty gives the order, they will never be punished too severely.

"go out?"

After hearing Lind's words, Sebel sneered and then continued:

"You can indeed go out, but it may be a little different from what you imagined. Hurry up and change your clothes and go to the public trial!"

As he spoke, Sebel waved his hand, and a group of people immediately came in with the prison uniforms of the death row prisoners and placed the clothes one by one in front of them.

"You...what did you say? You must be kidding. What does a public trial mean? Who are you trying?!"

After hearing what Sebel said, Lind's face turned pale instantly, but he still asked another question without giving up.

"Humph."

In the face of Lind's questions, Sebel did not answer them, but just snorted coldly and turned his back.

"Hurry up and change. I'll give you one hour to leave your last words. If you exceed the time limit, don't blame me for being rude."

As soon as Sebel finished speaking, another group of people came forward and respectfully handed over pens and ink.

After all, all those here are nobles. Even if they are going to die in the next second, the empire will not lack the proper treatment before death.

"No, this is impossible! How can we possibly stand trial?! Great grandfather, I want to see my great grandfather!!"

Looking at Sebel's attitude, Lind shook his head in disbelief. He backed away in a daze and accidentally bumped into the table, falling down on it in embarrassment.

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Lind's face was pale, his lips were purple, and he looked terrified.

"I am innocent! Prince Sebel!"

"I can't die. I absolutely can't die. My father is the Duke of the Empire!!"

"My Lord Prince, please save me. I will give you any amount of money you want. I will agree to any conditions you put forward!!"

For a moment, the entire prison was in an uproar, and the nobles who had just been immersed in joy immediately began to wailing.

Some of the timid ones even cried and wet their pants.

At the public trial meeting, they were very clear about the meaning of these words.

This kind of trial mode has never appeared in general trials among the entire human race. Only criminals with extremely serious crimes will be brought out for public trial.

In other words, once you go to the public trial, there's no chance of surviving.
