It can be said that after the treaty was signed, Xumi was severely fleeced.

If the Renaissance Alliance hadn't acted quickly enough, and if it had been open for a few more years, the entire Xumi might have been directly purchased by foreign capital.

So if we just talk about the harm alone, this crime is even more serious than the previous one.

"Damn it! I was wondering why it was so hard to find a job in the past year. It turns out it's because of this reason."

"Yes, yes. I was wondering why there were so many products on the market all of a sudden. I can't even sell my furniture."

After Elhaisen's explanation, the people in the audience quickly understood why their lives had been so difficult over the past year, and they all began to criticize the great sage.

In response, the great sage did not even dare to respond. He just lowered his head silently and turned his back to the angry crowd behind him.

"The third crime is exploiting the people!"

After allowing everyone to discuss for a while, Elhaisen read out the third charge against Hazard.

At the same time, this will also be Azar’s last charge, and during this period, Elhaisen will also make a systematic criticism of the past exploitative system of Xumi.

"As a great sage of the Order, Azar completely deviated from the path set by the Great Compassionate Tree King. Under his leadership, the Order, once a holy place of learning, has completely become a corrupt organization that represents the interests of the reactionary class."

Although the three-foot-thick ice does not form overnight, the current state of Xumi is definitely not something that he can achieve alone.

But if new things are to come into being, the first thing to do is to negate the old things.

Therefore, it would be a good choice to take advantage of the opportunity of trying Azar and criticize all the exploitative relationships in Xumi over the past five hundred years in front of all the people of Xumi.

Later, according to the pre-planned plan, Elhaisen began to introduce to the crowd in detail the various injustices that were happening in Xumi today.

From the feudal land exploitation system in the countryside, to the major merchant monopoly groups in the city, to the now distorted bureaucracy of the Council of Clerics.

Everything that was to be banned in the new Xumi was described one by one by Elhaisen.

It was not just a simple narration. With the help of Nashida, he also used the void to tell everyone real cases one after another.

Some of these cases even happened directly among the audience, attracting everyone's attention.

Of course, this is definitely not a coincidence, but an example that Nashida deliberately picked out using the void in order to maximize people's hostility towards the old Xumi.

I believe that after today, when the Renaissance Alliance truly begins to govern and implements relevant new policies in various parts of Xumi, the resistance encountered will be greatly reduced.

Because with today's trial, all these old things have been labeled as symbols of "political errors" under the watchful eyes of the gods and all the people of Xumi.

Even if some people have some ideas later, it is impossible for them to expose the exploitative relationship directly as in the past.

"Azar, do you admit your guilt?"

Finally, after all the charges were read out, Elhaisen questioned Azar.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Hazard, who had been silent for a long time, waiting for his response.

It seemed that he realized that this was his only chance. Under the gaze of everyone, Hazard was silent for a long time.

"I plead guilty."

After a long silence, to the surprise of everyone present, Hazard actually chose to plead guilty.

"But I'm not wrong."

But what Hazard said next surprised everyone.

"Everything I do is actually to pursue true wisdom, because there is no great wisdom in today's Xumi!"

Azar began to defend himself, finding a reason for his actions by repeatedly emphasizing the importance of "wisdom" and pursuing the will of the so-called Great Compassionate Tree King.

"And the crime you later accused me of is simply unreasonable, because the great sages of all ages have done this, and Xumi has been operating in this way since ancient times. If you want to blame someone, you should blame the great sages of all ages!"

As he spoke, Hazard became a little hysterical. He raised his arm with the bracelet and slapped the fence in front of him.

In his eyes, those so-called "exploitative" relationships, even if they were wrong, could never be blamed on him!

If you want to blame someone, blame the predecessors who believed in the wisdom of later generations!

"Of course, there are reasons behind what you said."

This time, it was no longer Elhaisen's steady voice that sounded, but a clear and pleasant child's voice.

After standing up from her seat and placing a grass elemental block under her feet, this time, Nashida chose to respond personally to Azar's words.

"Predecessors certainly made their mistakes, but that doesn't mean you, Hazard, don't have any responsibility in this regard!"

It was clearly an extremely childish voice, but in the eyes of everyone, it sounded so sonorous and powerful.

"As a great sage, you should have corrected these mistakes, but not only did you not correct them, you even made them worse!"

If Azar had actually tried to curb exploitation, reform the institution of the Fatwa, and eliminate the prejudice between the rainforest and the desert, then there would be some truth in what he said.

But the problem is that not only did he not do so, but on some issues he even made things worse.

"For your own selfish interests, you suppressed dissidents, appointed people based on personal connections, and excluded truly talented people. Many promising scientific research projects were ruthlessly rejected by you."

"In order to maintain your rule, you colluded with those exploiters, turned a blind eye to the division of the country, did nothing to solve the magic scale disease, and were even more indifferent to the suffering of the lower class people."

"In pursuit of your own wisdom, you plundered the people's wealth and concocted a so-called god-making plan to create a divine body for an executive from a foreign country."

"You keep saying that you are doing this for Sumeru and for wisdom, but do your actions reflect what you said in the slightest?"

Nashida refuted Azar's defense word by word, and with the help of the void terminal, her words spread all over Xumi.

"From the beginning to the end, what you are really interested in is nothing more than the title of sage and the benefits it brings you."

After saying that, Nashida sat back in the chair behind her and no longer paid attention to Azar's reaction.

"But...but..."

Faced with Nashida's accusation, Azar's face turned red, but he still didn't say a word until the audience began to speak passionately.

In the end, as if he had drained all his strength, Hazard leaned directly against the fence below him under everyone's gaze and stopped talking.

In response, Elhaisen took back control of the trial after looking at Nashida.

He slammed the hammer in his hand heavily and read out the final verdict on Hazard under the watchful eyes of the public.

"Sinner Azar, guilty."

"The death penalty shall be executed immediately!"

Chapter 97: The End of the Old Era

After Azar's trial ended, his execution was put on hold because there were many other criminals awaiting trial.

Otherwise, if he is hung up first and then the trial is carried out normally, the scene will be a bit too exciting, so it is better to wait.

Next, after he was taken away from the trial platform, his accomplices and many of Xumi's former dignitaries also walked to the place where he had just been.

Under the chairmanship of Elhaisen and in the presence of all the people of Xumi, the crimes of these people were pointed out one by one and they received a fair trial.

In order to survive, these people tried their best.

Some of them cried and begged for forgiveness during the trial, some tried to defend themselves like Hazard just did, and some even pretended to be crazy in public in order to escape punishment...

But until the end of the trial, no one present was fooled by their performance, and they were all sentenced clearly.

Of course, in addition to these extremely evil people, the special court also gave due fairness and justice to other special criminals, such as the sage Nafis of the Vitalism school.

As Tinari's mentor, Nafis provided cover for the growth of the Renaissance Alliance, the spread of revival ideas, and the flow of personnel in the early days of the organization.

In addition, after the Xumi Liberation War officially started, he quietly collected evidence of the crimes of the sages, and at the same time resisted the God-creating plan of the Ordinance Council.

It can be said that Nafis did many useful things in the process of the Sumeru Revolution.

But at the same time, as a sage of the School of the Decree, the mistakes he made on his way to this position and after arriving at this position cannot be ignored.

After all, considering the level of corruption in the House of Lords in the past, as long as you sit in this position, you have to do something even if you don't want to.

Otherwise, the interest groups and vested interests behind you will definitely kick you out of this position.

This is an objective law determined by objective social and historical conditions and cannot be changed by human will.

So for people like them, we must look at their actions dialectically based on facts.

Therefore, in this trial, the sentences of these people were slightly reduced according to their respective contributions.

In this way, it can not only reflect the fairness and justice of the Renaissance Alliance, but also reflect the corresponding humanistic care.

Because the situation in Xumi has been determined now, we should not be so rigid on certain things, and unity is the most important thing.

Therefore, with Nashida's advance indication, the punishment imposed on the sage Nafis of the Assumptionist school was ultimately only the stripping of all titles, dismissal from all positions, and confiscation of illegal gains.

In response, these people thanked the grass god for his mercy, confessed their guilt and expressed remorse for their past, and at the same time admitted their guilt and accepted all the penalties.

There is no harm without comparison. The previous punishments against the Great Sage and others are still vivid in their minds. It is a great blessing for them to have this result, and naturally they will not ask for anything more.

Finally, at the end of the trial, Nashida did not forget the soldier who was still autistic underground, and dragged him to the dock.

Although he was dragged into the position of defendant, perhaps because Nashida had given him too much stimulation before, Sanbing still looked autistic even when facing the gazes of so many people.

This also made the audience feel a little confused, and they were even more at a loss as to why this person appeared.

After all, all the people who came on stage before, whether good or bad, had a certain reputation in Xumi, and everyone could recognize them.

But as for Sanbing, the winter executor produced by Inazuma, no one knew him at all.

Therefore, in order to let everyone have a good understanding of the crimes committed by the scattered soldiers, the Void Terminal also gave a detailed introduction.

After reading all the introductions, everyone finally reacted.

"Good boy, it turns out that you are the protagonist of the God-making plan."

The people were immediately outraged and began to verbally attack Sanbing, which led to his complete social death in Xumi.

At least in the future Xumi, when people saw Sanbing again, their first reaction was definitely "the war criminal who tried to replace the gods."

"The criminal is disbanded and sentenced to forced labor reform. He will be deprived of all supernatural abilities and political rights for life. The length of the labor reform is - indefinite."

The punishment for the stragglers, in addition to crushing their beliefs through words, is also to pay a corresponding physical price.

And after being deprived of all supernatural powers, Sanbing will later participate in labor reform as an ordinary person and experience the fickleness of the world.

As for when the labor reform will end, it depends on the results of the reform and the intention of Inazuma.

After all, Sanbing is also the creation of the God of Thunder, and the main sin was committed by Inazuma, so Inazuma's attitude is particularly important.

However, even though that is what he said, the current situation in Inazuma is still unclear, and it is even more difficult to say how to deal with the stragglers.

Therefore, for now, let him stay in Xumi for the time being and contribute to the future infrastructure construction of Xumi.

Nashida also believed that among the endless bricks and tiles, he would definitely be able to find the direction of his future life. (Convinced)

What if you can’t find it?

If you can't find it, there is still a large area of ​​desert. It is also very important to improve the living environment of the people in the desert, so there is nothing wrong with planting trees.

“I hope that in your future service to the people, you will be able to properly handle the cause and effect of your past and learn how to repay the old debts in history.”

This was Nashida's final advice to the skirmishers.

...

Finally, after all the trials were completed, the next thing to do was to execute Azar and others.

Under the escort of the guards, led by the Great Sage, the death row prisoners were brought back to the platform one by one.

But this time, what they will face is no longer judgment, but the end of their own lives.

Crying, yelling, all kinds of reactions appeared on them, but no one cared about these former dignitaries anymore.

Their bodies were pressed against the gallows, the noose was around their guilty necks, and their feet were standing on one movable wooden box after another.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, all preparations for the execution have been completed.

Seno looked at Nashida behind him, and after getting a positive answer, he immediately waved his right hand.
