Chapter 123: Judgment
Li Youcai faced Jasmine, who was a little crazy, and said helplessly: "You still don't understand, once I make a vow and succeed, what kind of situation will you face." Look at 'Mao, Chinese, Net'
Jasmine: "You can't succeed, and even if you do, I'm just facing a slanderous trial of the same level, and I'll give you the compensation you deserve." ”
Li Youcai sighed and said, "Since you say so, then be ready to accept the truth." ”
After a slight pause, he continued, "I am indeed not a believer in the Key to the Door. ”
Jasmine shouted to the divers around her, "Did you hear that? ”
Just as the deep divers had just understood what Li Youcai had said and were hesitating what to do, Li Youcai spoke again.
Li Youcai: "I swear in the name of 'God of Blind Foolishness', 'Source Core of Primordial Chaos', 'Head of the Demon God', and 'Lord of All Things' that I have been exposed to Azathoth's thoughts, received a small part of his great creative power, and have also received three artifacts from the outer gods, and if there is half a lie, I will bear the wrath of Azathoth." ”
A terrifying wave descended here, and everyone was silent.
When Carricket and Jasmine made their vows before, the outer gods did not project their consciousness over, because there was an eternal gaze of the ruler of the old days, and the outer gods could easily know everything here, so they did not need to project consciousness.
But now that the will of Azathoth has come, even if there is only a trace of it, even if there is the protection of the outer gods here, everyone still cannot move.
Azathoth's consciousness came and went as fast as it came, lasting only for a moment, but it still made everyone understand how powerful he was.
And Li Youcai was still unharmed after the will of Azathoth, which proves the truth of his oath.
Jasmine was a little delirious by the reality in front of her and the will of Azathoth, and she shouted frantically: "He's cheating, he didn't explain his beliefs at all, he's taking advantage of loopholes." ”
Li Youcai confronted Jasmine and said, "Faith? Your so-called faith is too low-level. ”
While saying that, a phanthropic shadow appeared behind Li Youcai, no one could see or feel the appearance of the phantom, but the aura it emitted was extremely similar to the will of Azathos just now, although it was weakened countless times, but it must be the power of the same origin.
Everyone around them, including Carricket, held herself in a ball and floated in the water in respect, except for Jasmine, who was still floating upright in the water
Li Youcai pointed at Jasmine, and a set of shackles was directly born in the void to lock Jasmine, and there was a slight Azathoth aura in this shackle, which made Jasmine unable to break free for a while.
Li Youcai: "The Lord of the Blue City." ”
City Lord: "The villain is here." ”
Li Youcai: "Notify the trial court and convene a trial meeting as soon as possible to try the case of Jasmine Black Sea and slandering the high-ranking divine envoy." ”
Jasmine: "Nonsense, he's not an oracle at all, don't listen to him"
Before she could finish speaking, a shackle formed on her mouth, so that she could no longer speak freely. See 1 yarn 3 Chinese net
The diver left with Jasmine, and Carrickett swam to Li Youcai's side, smiling and saying, "It seems that the plan is very successful." ”
Li Youcai: "She is indeed as you think, she has not recovered her peak condition, so she will run out directly to expose us, otherwise those shackles will not be able to suppress her so easily." ”
Carrickett: "She's still too confident in her own abilities, and she feels that she is invincible, and even if she fails to expose it, it will only be a matter of compensation." ”
Li Youcai: "That was when the two of us were equal, but now she is afraid that it will be difficult to turn over." ”
This is the plan agreed upon by the two before, and Li Youcai did not lie in the oath just now, so there is no need to worry about Azathos sending down the punishment, and now when the trial is held, everything will be settled.
Soon, the inquisition court of the Blue City convened a trial meeting.
The True Liberals are a force united by faith, so they don't have courts, they have courts to judge those who disrespect God.
The work of the Inquisition is usually very leisurely, because most of the people who do not respect the outer gods and the old rulers will not survive in the territory of the true free.
As for the contradictions within the true liberals, they generally rely on their own fists, and most of them have been resolved before the court can intervene.
What really needs the court to intervene is usually some bizarre cases, such as a family that was suddenly killed by someone, but no one admitted it.
Or, if a top-level Old Day Dominator believer who has just cultivated to the Diamond (Yuan Infant) level is killed by an inferior Old Day Dominator believer who has cultivated to the Grandmaster (Distraction) level, whether it is an accident or other reasons, as long as that Diamond (Yuan Infant) believer has a family member sue the Inquisition, the Inquisition will judge that Grandmaster (Distraction) believer.
In general, although it is the largest fist, it is established on the basis of faith, so the hierarchy here is very strict.
Like the case of Li Youcai and Jasmine, it is a case of low-level believers slandering high-level oracles.
The status of the oracle is higher than that of the believer, who is only a sacrificial sacrifice to be rewarded by the outer gods and the rulers of the old days, and the oracles are called the spokesmen of the outer gods and the rulers of the old days.
The most significant difference between the two is that believers who want to summon the projection of the outer gods must pay a great price, usually part or even all of their lives (Shouyuan).
As long as the Divine Envoy is willing, he can summon the projection of the Outer God he represents at any time, and the strength of the Divine Envoy is usually higher than that of believers of the same level.
Therefore, when Li Youcai summoned the phantom of Azathos and easily subdued Jasmine, he called himself the oracle of Azathoth, and no one dared to question him, everyone thought that he was an oracle of Azathos who had not yet grown up.
The identity of the divine envoy is already higher than that of the believer, and the status of the divine envoy of the ordinary foreign gods is equivalent to that of the believer of the three-pillar original god, and now a believer of the three-pillar original god actually slandered the oracle of Azathoth, you can imagine what a bad incident this is.
On the day of the trial, all the true liberals with higher status in the Blue City and even the surrounding cities came to the Blue City Inquisition.
The Black Ocean Chamber of Commerce, controlled by the Black Sea family, is also a large Chamber of Commerce in several surrounding big cities, and the outcome of Jasmine's trial will affect the ownership of the Chamber of Commerce.
Moreover, the oracle of Azathos is rare to see in a hundred years, it can be said that even if a certain old ruler suddenly comes, his status will not be higher than Li Youcai, after all, Naiarathotep, one of the three pillars of the original god, is also only the messenger and spokesman of Azathoth.
Although there are not many inquisitions of the true free, each of them occupies an extremely large area, and the purpose is to show devotion to the outer gods and the rulers of the old days.
The entire court is only walled and unroofed, and from the outside it looks like an ancient gladiatorial arena in the West, but the internal structure is very different.
First of all, the inner site is not the lowest in the middle, but on the contrary, there is a high platform built in the middle of the site, which means that the judgment approved by God is above all else.
The surrounding auditoriums are lower than the judgment platform, so the audience can only hear the sound of the trial and cannot see the process of the trial.
There was a half-man high platform on the judgment table, and there were three seats on the platform, which were the seats of the three presiding judges, and the rest were to stand.
But today, a fourth chair has appeared here.
In the realm of the True Freed, and in all the places controlled by the Outer Gods and the Old Dominators, there are three presiding judges, who represent the Three Pillars of the Original God: Yog Sotos, the "Key of the Gate", "The One Who Lives All Things, All Things Are One", "The Goddess of Darkness and Abundance", "The Supreme Mother Goddess", "The Black Goat of the Forest that Gives Birth to Thousands of Children", "The Chaos of the Bush", "The Messenger and Spokesperson of Azathoth", and "The One and Only Freeman" Nyaratotip
At the time of the trial, the status of the presiding judge was even slightly higher than that of the oracle of the Three Pillars of the Original Gods, almost the ruler of the old days.
So in the judgment of the past, only they were qualified to sit.
But now, for an Azathoth oracle to participate in the judgment, an additional seat must be added.
If Li Youcai just said that he was a believer in Azathoth, then he didn't have such a lot of power, but the oracle was another concept.
Every oracle can freely communicate with the outer gods or the old rulers of their beliefs, and borrow their power anytime and anywhere, which represents an extremely terrifying power.
Before the trial began, except for the three presiding judges and Li Youcai, everyone arrived at the scene, including Carrickt and the Blue City Lord, all of them stood on the trial platform and waited for the trial to begin.
The entire judgment bench, apart from the half-height platform and the four chairs on the platform, was basically nothing else, with the only exception being a cage.
This cage is more than one person high, and there are barbs inside, and people can't move freely when they stand in it, otherwise they will be stabbed by barbs.
Jasmine was held in this cage with shackles on her hands, and the shackles had the effect of suppressing her power, so she couldn't do anything now.
On the way here, she was transported in a cage, because her strength was suppressed, and she was inevitably stabbed by barbs, so she was now covered in blood and wounds.
Soon, the scheduled start time for the trial arrived.
The three presiding judges, along with Li Youcai, swam over from mid-air, which means that the outer gods above all will watch this judgment.
Everyone bowed their heads until the three presiding judges and Li Youcai sat down as a sign of respect for the outer gods.
Sitting in the middle, the presiding judge representing Yog Sotos spoke, "I declare that the trial of Jasmine Black Sea's slander of the High Divine Envoy begins now. ”
As his voice fell, the trial officially began.
The whole trial went through many processes, such as the presentation of evidence by both sides, debate, and the questioning of witnesses in turn.
In fact, almost everyone, including Jasmine's defenders, believes that this matter has been determined, there is no room for reversal, and now it is just a process, so they are not very dedicated.
Only Jasmine, although she didn't speak, her pale eyes were always aimed at Li Youcai, as if she wanted to use her eyes that couldn't see anything to see through everything about Li Youcai.
Finally, when it came time for the judge to speak, Jasmine was temporarily released from the cage, and she had one and only chance to defend herself.
She turned her face to the three presiding judges and said, "Seeing where Derek is sitting, I think you all recognize his identity as the 'Lord of Everything' oracle, but I wonder why the noble 'Lord of Everything' oracle would pretend to be a follower of the 'Key to the Gate'?
"It was because I judged that he was not a believer in the 'Key to the Gate' that I thought he was a spy in disguise, and even now I don't think I did anything wrong. ”
Without waiting for Li Youcai to answer, the presiding judge, who represented Naiyarathotep on the left of the three, spoke first: "It is his freedom to make the Lord want to do what the Divine Envoy wants, and the low-level believers pretend to be high-level identities, whether they are pretending to be blasphemy, and the high-level believers and even the Divine Envoys, disguising themselves to lower their identities is not disrespectful to the gods, in the final analysis, it is your own judgment that is wrong." ”
Jasmine: "I misjudged? So may I ask all of you here, who has really seen the breath of the 'Lord of Everything' before? The gods have their own followers, and we can find any believer in any god, it may be difficult but we will find it eventually, but who has ever seen the believer of the 'Lord of Everything' in the realm of the True Free? Not to mention the oracle, since everyone has never seen the breath of the 'Lord of Everything', how can we be sure that he is the oracle of the 'Lord of Everything'?"
The presiding judge, representing Nyarrathotep, said: "He once made an oath, and this is enough to prove it"
Before he could finish speaking, Jasmine interrupted, "His oath only shows that he will be exposed to the idea of the 'Lord of Everything', which does not mean that he is a believer in the 'Lord of Everything.'" ”
"And everyone knows that the 'Lord of Everything' is always half-asleep, so he will not probe into the past and future of the oath-taker, but only verify the truth of the oath, and his oath has never spoken positively about his faith. ”
"So I suspect that he has ever come into contact with relics or relics related to the 'Lord of Everything', and thus gained the ability to imitate the breath of the 'Lord of Everything', and no matter how clumsy this ability may be, it will not be debunked in front of those of us who have not seen the 'Lord of Everything'. ”
"With all that said, I still doubt his identity, and I won't accept any of my trial results unless he can prove himself. ”
When Jasmine finished speaking, all eyes turned to Li Youcai.
Li Youcai indifferently accepted everyone's gaze, he faced Jasmine, and asked slowly, "Finished?"
Jasmine didn't know how to answer, so she nodded slightly.
Li Youcai didn't even get up, but said lazily in his chair: "I really have never believed in the 'Lord of Everything'. ”
