William and Baron Richard talked enthusiastically, and found that the old man who was nearly fifty years old was also a reasonable nobleman, so William was very respectful of him during the conversation, and the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.

In the same way, Baron Richard's perception of William gradually improved, and he was regarded as a brave and resourceful, affectionate and affectionate, and polite little man, rather than unilaterally listening to the harsh evaluations of William by the nobles.

Out of optimism about William, Baron Richard even wanted to give his only daughter and his old daughter - Agnes. Morality. Vasy introduced William, and even the young man he fancied, Sir Martin's son Ferdinand. Grylls gave it all to William, and he served him allegiance.

"If His Royal Highness William can enter into a marriage contract with Agnes, I am willing to join His Highness William's side, and even my Baroness of Argenton can be inherited by William and Agnes! As for now, I'm just going to be completely neutral. Baron Richard looked at the spirited William with his eyes and thought to himself.

"Thank you, Lord Baron Richard, for entrusting these two murderers to us, that justice will be done in this world, and that these two murderers will be judged fairly by Sir Hubert." William pointed to the two murderers who had stopped struggling not far away with his left hand, and thanked him sincerely.

"No need to be polite, Your Highness William, and please let Sir Hubert judge them for their sins." Baron Richard replied with a nod of his head.

"Yes, Your Excellency Baron Richard, hatred cannot be left overnight, sin must be cleansed, and justice must be served!" William turned around and said to Sir Hubert beside him, "Sir Hubert, please adjudicate against these two murderers sent by Cay in Burgundy, and whatever you decide, we will support you!" ”

"Thank you, His Highness William." Sir Hubert put his left hand on his chest, bowed, and said, "I have decided to hand over their crimes to the Almighty and All-Knowing Lord, and each of them will have a sword stabbed in the chest, and if God judges them for their guilt, then they will eventually die, and if God declares them innocent, then they will survive a sword pierced in the chest!" ”

Sir Hubert's words were so loud that all the knights and soldiers present cheered, while the two murderers who had been caught trembled.

"Divine Judgment!"

"Divine Judgment! Divine Judgment! ”

......

Yes! The celestial judgment of the crowd was the way in which Sir Hubert decided to try the two murderers, leaving everything to God Almighty and Knowing.

It is not known when the law of divine judgment originated, but it was first written in the sixth century A.D. in the Frankish legal code, which was already specifically defined in the code of divine judgment. For example, before the divine judgment, the plaintiff and the defendant should pray and take an oath in honor of God.

Of course, due to the unequal status of Sir Hubert and Knight Tim here, one is a noble knight, while the other two are captured murderers and captives, so it is only necessary to unilaterally judge the two of them and let God judge their life and death.

Not just in Francia, but in Germania, Britain, Catalonia...... In fact, at that time, the divine judgment was not only used to judge demons, murder, arson, theft, witchcraft, forgery, and all other evil acts, but the people preferred the divine judgment to the law.

The reason why the divine cut can be popular naturally has its factual basis.

At that time, in the Middle Ages, there were a large number of places inhabited by human beings, such as the holy city of Rome, or the immortal city of Constantine, which was the only miracle, the place of God's favor, while in other places, most people were still clustered in villages.

This means that the villagers know the rest of the villagers, including their deeds and reputations.

When the villagers are intolerable, or want to persecute them, when they want to make someone disappear from the world, God's judgment is a perfect excuse.

Because the divine judgment is essentially a human judgment and has a great room for manipulation, generally speaking, the person who presides over the divine judgment will have a great advantage - that is, cheating.

Sometimes when the position and situation are not equal, it is even possible to judge a person unilaterally, rather than against both the plaintiff and the defendant, as Sir Hubert did.

Although William hoped in his heart that Sir Hubert could directly sentence them to death or something else, instead of using a feudal superstitious way - divine judgment, let God decide the criminals and the outcome of the case, but William also knew that the road to a legal society was still far away, and now it was the most extensive way to deal with cases in the way of "divine judgment", and William was helpless about it.

"All right, Sir Hubert, just do what you want!" William pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Sir Hubert nodded in agreement, turned around, drew his two-handed greatsword from the front of the viewing platform, raised it in the air, turned around again, and walked step by step towards the two Tim Knights who were tied to the stake.

"Nope! Sir Hubert, please do not do this, we can give you a lot of wealth, and even a territory we can ask the Earl of Kay to grant you. Sir Tim, whose body was tied to a stake, struggled in vain, screaming with horror on his face, and promised Sir Hubert a promise.

"Don't run away, Knight Tim, this is not a virtue that a knight possesses! Pray! Knight Tim, accept God's judgment! Step by step, Sir Hubert approached the two Tim Knights, pointed his sword at Tim Knights with both hands level, and persuaded with a blank face.

"No—" Tim Knight sobbed, screaming and struggling, and his crotch was slightly moist, giving off a smell of urine.

"Accept God's judgment! Drink... Ahh

With a roar from Sir Hubert, the huge two-handed greatsword was stabbed into Sir Tim's chest by Sir Hubert.

"Uh..."

Knight Tim only had time to let out a scream before tilting his head and taking his last breath.

"God has condemned you, Knight Tim, your filthy soul has descended into the endless abyss of hell." So saying, Sir Hubert turned around and walked to another Upper Burgundian knight, and said, "Then it is your turn, accept the judgment of God!" ”

"No..."

The Upper Burgundian knight was so frightened that he peed his pants and simply fainted.

Burst...

Sir Hubert raised his broadsword with both hands and stabbed the knight in the chest.

"Uh..."

The knight had only time to let out a scream before he took his filthy soul to hell.

"Almighty and All-Knowing Lord, You are merciful and equally just, and you have finally decided to judge them for their sins and send their filthy souls to hell!" Sir Hubert raised his broadsword in both hands, looked around, and said aloud.

Rumble...

All those present cheered for this just judgment.
