Heavenly Dome Palace, in front of the Council Hall.

The solemn atmosphere still did not diminish in the slightest, and the nobles in the hall were still talking.

As the minutes passed, the nobles who could still maintain their elegance and calmness became more and more restless, and some even gradually lost their ability to hold on, leaving the council hall and resting in the specially prepared cloakroom and wine tasting room.

This is also the norm in the House of Nobles...... No matter how efficient it is, a meeting often lasts two to three days to end, and for a variety of reasons, these nobles are unable and unwilling to leave the Celestial Dome Palace - hence the creation of private places for the noble councillors to rest.

In such a tense situation, there were still many restless nobles who forced their composure, stared at the closed door of the side hall, and waited silently.

It was not the dead Master Lussac Corvo who could really decide this trial, nor the mere priest and wizarding advisor to His Highness Brandon......

Everything depends on His Majesty Eckhart II and the Imperial Cabinet!

"What did you say?"

Outside the door of the council hall, Weber, the little priest who was waiting silently, frowned slightly, looking at the person who ran over to deliver information to him... Although he also wore clerical robes, he was a close associate of the Church judge.

The little priest knew very well that if it hadn't been for Archbishop Innocent's forced suppression, the inquisitor would not have agreed to his own approach... Why did you come out of here to send information to yourself?

After hesitating for a moment, the tangled little priest still chose to believe in the other party, and followed the person to a corner with a solemn face.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no one around, the other party cautiously spoke.

"Our agents on patrol have sent word that someone from the Wizarding Academy has trespassed on the Heavenly Dome Palace. Although he lowered his voice, the other party still couldn't hide his surprise:

"Not only that, but the other party is very likely to be in this palace!"

As the words fell, a look of disbelief flashed in the corner of the eyes of the little priest who was originally calm.

"The defense of the Heavenly Dome Palace is in the hands of the royal guards, and there are three walls from the Golovin Hill to the palace gate. The little priest Weber's eyes were full of confusion: "How did they do it?"

"It's not clear, our men tried to intercept them outside the hills, but failed. ”

The other shook his head... As for how it was "intercepted", he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to tell this little priest.

"It doesn't make any sense to say that now. The calm little priest sighed softly, his voice still as calm as water: "Your Excellency the Inquisitor asked you to come... I guess it's not just to tell me this, right?"

The man's expression was a little subtle: "Your Excellency Webb, you don't seem to be asking me... Who is the other party. ”

"Because it's not necessary. The little priest replied lightly.

"That is to say... You know who the other person is. ”

At this moment, the other party's expression became more and more cold: "Priest Weber." I don't need to remind you of how important this pre-judgment is to the Church?"

"Unique. ”

The little priest calmly raised his head and looked at the eyes that were already full of violence without flinching: "But this is not a reason for us to do whatever it takes, even to go against the teachings. ”

"Trust me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... But I'm not going to do anything for it. ”

"Loren Turin... I'm going to beat my friend with dignity!"

The man frowned.

"By the way, please pass this on to Your Excellency the Inquisitor. The little priest took a step forward and looked politely at the person in front of him: "When we uphold righteousness and faith again and again, but we are brazenly abusing this power... Faith is getting farther and farther away from us. ”

"Ignorance is not the same as piety, and untested faith has no value; violence, authority, wealth, connections, speech...... These do not evoke faith in people's hearts, these only evoke fear in people's hearts. ”

"Fear can never evoke true faith!"

Facing the little priest's sincere gaze, the other party only snorted disdainfully.

Little Priest Weber shook his head, his expression a little gloomy: "Of course, I don't expect the Inquisitor to accept my point of view, but since the person chosen by Archbishop Innocent this time is me, then I ask the Inquisitor to respect the Archbishop's decision." ”

"I'll bring this to a happy end, starting with this Imperial Trial!"

"You're so naïve to the point of being incomprehensible. The man said coldly, "I really don't understand... Why would Archbishop Innocent make such a decision, stupid enough to believe such a fool as you!"

"Because you are the fools, and you have not yet realized what a monster the Holy Cross has become......"

There was no resentment, no anger, only an indescribable grief in the eyes of the little priest: "For Loren Turin, victory is everything, winning is everything, and he can do whatever it takes to win......"

"But for us... But there is another option. ”

............................................................

"You, you are ......"

In the quiet tasting room, Charlotte Turin, the Countess of the Red Blood Castle, stared at the fireplace with wide eyes, and the wine glass in her hand fell unconsciously on the soft carpet next to her feet, leaving a large fuchsia wine stain.

A black "figure"... If it could really be called a figure... Suddenly fell out of the fireplace!

In the smoke and dust, the figure coughed desperately, stained black from head to toe, and the surprised countess did not seem to react, and looked at the "uninvited guest" in disbelief.

After a full five minutes, the stunned Charlotte finally came to her senses, and vaguely found a figure similar to the person in front of her from her memory:

"Ain Rand?"

She was able to recognize each other only because the little wizard had been inseparable from the black-haired wizard from beginning to end on the night of the academy banquet, so she could barely remember the other party's name.

"Charlotte Turin... Ahhh It's the Earl of Charlotte cough cough ......"

The little wizard with a face covered in ashes almost blurted out, and only after seeing the other party's appearance clearly did he quickly shake his little hand, and coughed again before he finished speaking.

The shocked countess was stunned for a second, and then regained her original elegant and graceful expression, and calmly sat down in her chair and watched the little wizard scramble out of the fireplace, and wiped her sleeve twice on her face, revealing half of her fair cheeks.

Charlotte, who was forced to be calm, found that she couldn't say a word.

Quiet tasting room, the atmosphere is extremely awkward at this moment.

After being silent for a long time, looking at Ain Rand with an embarrassed face, the countess couldn't help but speak:

"Don't you feel the need to explain, Lord Ain Rand?"

"Huh?" the little wizard looked up nervously, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to be here...... The royal guards were so eager that I had no choice but to burrow into the chimney......"

"You trespassed?!"

Charlotte was completely shocked, looking at the little wizard with a stupid look, she couldn't imagine that the other party's courage was so big: "This is the Heavenly Dome Palace, do you know what the consequences will be once discovered?!"

"I know, but it's really too late!" Al Yin, who finally came to his senses, had an anxious look on his face: "The people of the Holy Cross Church have sealed off everything outside the Golovin hills... If it weren't for Lu Sien, I wouldn't even be able to get close to the Heavenly Dome Palace!"

"The Holy Cross Church has blocked the imperial capital?!" The countess stood up suddenly: "How can this be?!"

"I don't have time to explain, it's really too late!" The anxious little wizard ignored it and grabbed the countess's hands directly: "What about Loren, where is Loren? Please, I must see him now!"

The tangled countess didn't say a word, and the pleading in the eyes of the little wizard in front of her was already overflowing.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.
