Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"You should know that this is a killing formation that was built long ago to eliminate evil. I don't think it's necessary for High Priest Kerman to go to such great lengths. Are you really going to break the rules of the temple just for those personal grudges?"

The middle-aged priest was polite to the priest, but his tone towards Isis was quite questioning, and he even repeated Kman's somewhat provocative speculation.

He also knew how could so many people be mobilized without the permission and acquiescence of the priest. Even if the priest had only been airdropped into the branch temple for a short time, his identity could not be fake. The other party was sent by the main temple, so he had to give him some face.

But this did not prevent him from always putting icy eyes on the other party. No matter what Isis did, what happened behind his back, or what mistakes Kman made, this could not erase the fact that Isis and Kman had a personal grudge. Even if the other party and the priest participated in the action against Kman, this could not erase the elements of exploitation and selfishness.

For those in power, who would like to be used? No matter what, this is a knot that will always sprout and take root if buried in people's hearts.

Although it was a bit stupid, this was how a bloodless fight worked. The middle-aged priest didn't care about his righteous stupidity, and he even got worse. He winked at the people around him, asking them to target each other together.

Those with bad tones directly targeted Isis.

"Yes, Priest Isis, how can you target Kman like this? This is obviously a trivial matter and there is no need to activate the judgment barrier."

"Although the High Priest was also involved, you may have deceived him and caused him to make a wrong judgment. Although Kman once taught your friend, he is not to blame for his death! You are abusing your power for personal gain."

The priests standing with the middle-aged priest began to spare no effort to speculate about Isis with bad thoughts. The whole scene seemed like a political quarrel, full of smoke and quite noisy.

But there were also those who were neutral and friendly and did not question directly. They were not familiar with the new priest, so naturally they would not ask him, but instead asked Isis himself.

"Priest Isis, what is going on? Please explain why you treat High Priest Kerman like this."

"Yes! Originally, there was no need to open the trial for the so-called violation of the rules. Who knew that the trial barrier would be opened inexplicably now? Please explain the cause and effect to us, Priest."

It was noisy outside the barrier, as if it was a vegetable market. Except for the middle-aged priest who was in awe of the priest, the others were indifferent to the new priest, the wizard who was on high alert, and the Kman who was shrouded in the barrier. They were completely carried by the atmosphere around them and followed the trend.

Except for some priests who remained silent, the environment on the scene was noisy, comparable to a Kingdom Congress meeting, chaotic and disorderly.

In this regard, Isis remained silent, regardless of whether it was good or bad, and just looked at the people who were targeting her with some sarcasm.

It may be that these people have been in their positions for too long, and some of their minds have begun to become corrupt, swallowed up by human selfishness; their first reaction when encountering things is not to remain calm and pray, but rather to be selfish and bullshit, which is simply disgusting.

Isis knew that the other party was using him to deceive the new priest. He was well aware of this, but the other party's plan was obviously wrong.

He was wrong, seriously wrong. The other party, who had been tainted with power, had long lost his respect for the gods and his loyalty to the temple, and his mind was full of the twists and turns of the human kingdom's parliamentarians.

Putting on eye drops? You have to know that the new priest is a pure believer. Although it seems a little unreliable, his loyalty is dedicated to the temple. He has already explained everything, and the mentality of the superior has nothing to do with Dilock.

Because what Priest Dilok hates most is the priests who are disloyal to the temple, like to play tricks and are infected by selfish desires.

Isis looked up and saw that the other person's face looked very bad.

"enough!"

Dilock suddenly shouted loudly, venting a fierce pressure, which instantly turned the vegetable market in front of him back to the quiet courtroom before.

"What are you doing? This is the Court of Justice, a sacred and solemn place. This is not a market where you can quarrel with each other."

"I allowed the handling of Kman. Since such a big battle has taken place, as the executor, I naturally know everything. I didn't tell you because this matter needs to be kept confidential and cannot be leaked. As a member of the temple, don't you know the temple's rules!?"

With his shout, all the sounds disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the group of priests who suddenly shrank their necks like quails, Dilock felt extremely annoyed. Not to mention seeing Kman in the barrier looking at this side with a calm look on his face.

"Merciful Earth Mother, I hope you will not blame these impure believers."

Dilock said a prayer in his heart and quickly recovered his composure.

He frowned and looked at Kman with some displeasure. Was he mocking him? Mocking the former temple for turning into this?

At the same time, Kato Megumi felt a little unbelievable when she saw the noisy scene above. These priests seemed to be very different from what she had imagined. If it was a world without gods like her own, it would be natural for the church to gain power. After all, the so-called religions were organizations established by humans themselves to rule the people, and their beliefs were not pure.

But why would the temple in the other world be like this? Even if the oracle hadn't appeared for five hundred years, it wouldn't be like this. It always feels a bit weird.

“Is there a feeling of devastation?”

As if she saw that she was confused, the female knight next to her suddenly spoke, completely disregarding the fact that this was an embarrassing thing.

"Miss Knight, was the temple like this before?"

"It wasn't like this before... At that time, there were several priests from the branch halls who passed the assessment and were promoted to the main hall every year, and the branch halls were not as chaotic as they are now."

"I don't know how it started to become like this."

"In recent years, the temple has also discovered that the faith of the branch temples in various places has begun to become impure, so they sent the priest to rectify it, investigate, and find out the reason."

As she said this, she looked at the people above.

"The common problems are obviously not just personal problems. If they are institutional problems, then necessary reforms must be made... The Temple is not an inhumane and stubborn organization. As a bridge between the gods and the people to appease the gods, the Temple needs to change with the times."

Then the female knight looked coldly at Kman inside the barrier.

"If it is an external factor, then it must be eliminated and purged..."

Hey... the thinking of the temple with gods is different. It is not so stubborn. Kato Megumi was a little surprised.

Not to mention Kato Megumi, the middle-aged priest who was the leader before felt a chill in his heart when he saw the priest like this, and he regretted his own self-willed behavior.

How could he forget that the people in the main temple are a group of pure people. They don’t care about the so-called rights at all. They only have the temple and power in their hearts.

However, what was done had already been done, and it was impossible to go back in time. In order to divert the other party's attention, the middle-aged priest asked cautiously.

"Then why did you activate the Judgment Formation against Keman, Master Priest..."

Hearing him ask this, Dilock slowly opened his eyes and looked at Kman who suddenly grinned below, silent and calm.

"He is no longer the High Priest Kerman you once knew... but a fallen being infected by desire and fused with evil spirits."

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 52 Chapter The Judgment Barrier Opened

"It's actually a demon!"

"How could this be! High Priest Kerman is obviously normal, how could this be..."

Some high-ranking priests who knew of the existence of the evil demon cried out in surprise.

The priests who have a seat in the Judgment Hall know some information more or less. Although it is not very clear, it does not prevent them from knowing how powerful the evil demon is.

Some people who are not very clear about it even equate the evil demon with the devil.

They suddenly remembered a common ability of the evil demons, which is to stir up emotions; one must know that as an invisible being, the evil demons rely on human desires to grow; not only are they cunning and deeply hidden, the host they possess will also emit a strange aura, stirring up the desires of those around them, and amplifying... and amplifying them again.

Until it self-destructs.

At this moment, everyone suddenly fell silent and looked at Kman below.

Facing the gazes of so many people, Kman changed his previous fear and asked calmly.

"Master Priest, you cannot slander me for no reason. Master Priest, you said that I am a demon, but I am... right? What evidence do you have?"

Seeing that the other party was very calm and not panicked at all, Dilock frowned. Isn't he worried?

"Of course there is..."

At this time, Isis suddenly spoke, looking at the calm Kman with hatred in his eyes.

"I have been investigating you since Emile's death, but I have encountered many obstacles. Even when I went to the court, I still had no evidence... Now the arrival of the priest has finally given me hope. Kman, you can't escape."

"You will pay for what you have done."

"Holy Master, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all. Emile was my student, and I am naturally very sad about her death, but it was just an accident. And it is completely nonsense to say that I am a demon based on this. Where is the evidence?"

"Of course there is evidence..."

As he spoke, Isis took out a round object that was engraved with mysterious runes.

"This is an ancient relic that I accidentally dug out from an ancient ruin. It can record the surrounding environment."

Isis tapped it a few times casually, and soon, the spherical object ejected a projection, and that figure was none other than the High Priest Kman.

"Since I got this ancient relic that can record things, I started my investigation and evidence collection. After that, I spent 10 years investigating and collecting evidence. During these years, except for the past few years when I became a priest and did not assign you new priests, the probability of accidental death has been greatly reduced. In the previous few years when you still had new priests under you, the death rate of priests has been greatly increased..."

"What's the big deal? In the past few years, monsters were rampant and many priests died in the fight against them. This doesn't mean anything."

Kman raised his eyelids and disagreed.

"Okay, the mortality rate can be explained by the monster infestation, but what about this?"

Isis pointed her finger, and soon more than a dozen figures of Kerman appeared on the image projected in the air.

"How do you explain why you are always around those new recruits who died accidentally? Moreover, in the past hundred years, the death rate of all the new recruits you taught has always been high. Isn't it because of you who did something? Killing fellow temple members!"

"No way! Is it really High Priest Kerman?"

"Could he really be a ghost? Those places are indeed where those newcomers died. I was in charge of this matter in those years."

As Asis produced the evidence, people around him began to talk about it and became more convinced of the identity of the Kman demon.

But Kman was not worried at all. Instead, he shook his head slightly and shouted in a lost tone.

"You are wrong, Priest Isis. I am there because they are all my students. They all have a magic item I gave them. When they die unexpectedly or their magic item is damaged, I will receive the news and rush to the rescue in time. I know that my teaching is limited. In order to give myself peace of mind, I will give them this item every time they grow up to express my blessing to them."

"Priest Isis, you can't misunderstand me as a murderer just because of this!"

Isis clenched his fists and glared at Kman; he didn't expect that this man was still quibbling at this time. What he said was all reasonable and well-founded, and his own evidence became uncertain. Damn the fallen, damn the demon.

Seeing the change in the attitudes of the people around him, Isis had to suppress his anger. After all, he had no decisive evidence that the other party had killed someone on the spot! But he saw it before he got the ancient relic.

He looked at the High Priest, and fortunately his expression did not change much.

"Priest... I am not lying. It is the murderer, a demon. I saw it kill Emile with my own eyes."

"I didn't lie either. The priest of Isis cannot slander me for selfish reasons."

Dilock looked at the arguments of the two and without delay directly signaled to the priestess beside him.

"sorry to bother you……"

"You're welcome..."

The priestess suddenly took a step forward, clasping her hands in front of her chest. There was a faint silver light flashing.

"Goddess of fairness and justice! You listen to the hearts of all things and uphold justice in your heart. Please judge the lies of the wicked... Judgement of lies!"

Accompanied by a silver light, the priestess quickly opened her eyes.

But she looked a little embarrassed.

"Priest Dilok, they all seem to be telling the truth... Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that I am not capable enough. After all, some powerful creatures can block the ability to judge lies."

"Is that so? But when I think about it, it makes sense... Thank you for your help."

Dilock touched his chin and glanced at the two of them. Logically, he would not act so rashly without conclusive evidence from Isis. However, on the way to the branch temple, he happened to see a monster sucking the spirit of a person. Although he did not catch up with it afterwards, when Isis asked him for help, he happened to find that the man's back and breath were exactly the same as those of the High Priest Kman.

That's why he behaved like this.

Seeing Dilok's silence, Isis became a little anxious.

"Sir, please activate the Judgment Barrier!"

Dilock looked at Isis. He knew what the other party was talking about. The judgment barrier would only eliminate evil, but would not harm believers. Isis meant to use this method to judge the other party's existence.

After all, the demon will not believe in the god who imprisoned him.

So, Dilock looked down.

"Great Priest Kerman, since you say you are not a demon, are you willing to accept the judgment of the Judgment Barrier?"

Dilock thought the other party would panic, but unexpectedly, Kman smiled at him and answered.

"Of course I am willing. The merciful Mother Earth will protect her believers."

Although Dilock was puzzled by this answer, he thought that the other party was ignorant and did not know the power of the judgment barrier, so he decisively gave the order to open the barrier and teach the other party a lesson.

Soon, accompanied by the chanting of a circle of mages around, the golden barrier became brighter and brighter, as if it had become a semicircular ball of light, emitting dazzling light.

Kato Megumi was also looking at the light in front of her. Although it was very bright, it was not dazzling. Instead, it gave her a very warm feeling, like gentle sunlight or soft clouds.

She closed her eyes involuntarily, enjoying the comfortable warmth, but she did not notice that while she was indulging in it, traces of light were slowly penetrating into her body.
