"Inquisitor Titus did not know that Mr. Carl Rowland was a protected person of Lady Loris until he gave the order!"

Master Artest said lightly, "I don't think that Inquisitor Titus should be punished for something he didn't know!"

Bishop Filch couldn't help frowning, although theoretically the inquisition belongs to the jurisdiction of the church, and the status of the inquisitor is also below the bishop archbishop of the same level, but in practice, the inquisition has always been self-contained, and it is difficult for even cardinal archbishops to interfere.

This time, the inquisitor of the Inquisition directly bypassed him, the bishop of the diocese, and directed the priests and the knights of the cathar to arrest the protected persons in his jurisdiction, which was a real violation of his authority, and made him a little unbearable for a bishop like him, who had always been known as a good man.

"Lord Artest, you are a bit of a strong argument when you say that!"

Bishop Filch said dissatisfiedly: "Carl Rolland is a protected person personally declared by Lady Loris at the ball, and as far as I know, the whistleblower Casey has just left Lady Loris's ball and came to St. Loren's Cathedral to report it, and it is impossible for the Inquisitor of Titus not to know the identity of Mr. Carl Rolland......"

"That's the whistleblower's problem!" said Master Artest lightly.

“......”

Bishop Filch couldn't help but be a little surprised, Master Artest threw the pot to the whistleblower so simply.

"In that case, then ask Inquisitor Titus to drop the charges against my protectors!"

Mrs. Loriss did not continue to entangle, but put forward her request bluntly: "Lord Artest, I hope that the court will treat my protected person fairly in the future, and I don't want my protected person to be deliberately targeted and investigated because of this matter!"

Master Artest was silent, while Archbishop Ludwig, who had a white beard, raised his head slightly, looked at Master Artest and said, "Lord Artest, let's stop here! Since it is the fault of the whistleblower, then Master Tetus will not be punished for this, and the innocent should not be investigated and retaliated against by the Inquisition!"

"Yes!"

Master Artest was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly. Although he decisively threw the responsibility to the whistleblower in order to protect his subordinates, Judge Tetus was still inevitably punished - the punishment of the court has always been very harsh, and he did not want to lose a capable subordinate for a small matter, even if it was only temporary. As for sparing the pursuit of Carl Rowland, this is only a trivial matter.

"Since Inquisitor Titus is not wrong, what about the informant, and the probationary priest who mistakenly believed the informant's side of the story?"

Having solved Karl's problem, Mrs. Loris did not stop, but continued to hold the other two people responsible, after all, there is no such thing as forgiveness and forgiveness in the dictionary of the nobility, only reciprocal revenge against the offender and the enemy. Inquisitor Tetus has the protection of the Inquisition, but the probationary priest and whistleblower who don't have much backstage is easy to handle.

"It's easy!"

Without Archbishop Ludwig's words, Bishop Filch took the initiative to say: "The trainee priest of Giraud does not know people, mishears the slander of others, and slanders an innocent believer, I will suspend him from his position, extend his probationary period, and as punishment he will be sent to a lower area as a deacon, and repent of his mistakes in spreading the glory of the Lord to those who are ignorant!"

Originally, Bishop Filch was quite fond of the trainee priest of Girold, he was quick and diligent, although some people said that he was a bit gloomy and jealous, but this was never a disadvantage for the clergy of the church, was it? Although in terms of divine talent, he was far inferior to Brad, who was valued by the archbishop, but as a parish priest, he was more than enough.

Originally, Bishop Filch still thought that he would find a chance to make a contribution, and then remove the title of apprentice like Rhett, and find a good village church to be the parish priest. But now, it seems, there is no need at all.

The biggest mistake of this Girlot was not to do the wrong thing, not to offend Mrs. Loris, but to be a church priest, but to bypass the bishop and the archbishop and secretly lose his sincerity to the inquisition, which is a very serious position problem. Gorse badges that were so serious that they couldn't save him.

"I think the location in Castinburg is good!"

Mrs. Loris smiled and made such a suggestion.

"Yes!"

Bishop Filch thought for a moment, and happily followed the advice: "Castinburg is indeed suitable for a young man like him!"

Neither Lord Artest nor Inquisitor Titus spoke, not that they were cold-blooded, but that Reverend Girald belonged to the priesthood of the Church, and it was a matter of course for Bishop Filch to deal with him, and if they dissuaded him, it would be a matter for the Inquisition to interfere with the priesthood's authority, which was a very unwise act when the Inquisition had already committed a transgression of authority. So, both are silent about it.

"And that whistleblower, Casey!"

Mrs. Loriss mentioned it again, apparently not forgetting the little man.

"Haha, this is not my business!"

Bishop Filch laughed a little, and then said with a slight compliment: "Aren't the Silver Tide Council and the Justice Hall under your control?

"In that case!"

The corners of Lady Loris's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile, and said, "Then I urgently file an application for my protector!"

"My protector, Mr. Carl Rowland, is a Knight of Honor, and you should know how fierce the reaction of a Knight of Honor is when his reputation is violated. ”

"Therefore, on behalf of my protectors, I propose to His Excellency the Archbishop, His Excellency the Bishop, a duel before the gods, a trial of martial arts, against Mr. Casey, who has slandered his honor!"

Archbishop Ludwig couldn't help frowning slightly, duels before the gods, martial arts trials, this was a popular thing among the nobles for a long time from the pioneer era to the imperial age.

Nobles have privileges, own families and territories, and often many times, conflicts between two individual nobles are likely to turn into battles between two families. In order to prevent meaningless infighting between noble families, the rules of duels came into being.

If a nobleman is convicted of a crime, he can choose whether to submit to the punishment or initiate a trial in which he is found guilty or innocent by the life and death of the dueling arena. In the same way, if a nobleman is dissatisfied with the outcome of the trial, or feels that he has been insulted and violated, he can also file a request for a trial by force.

In order to demonstrate the authority of the Lord, the church often acts as the presiding officer and judge of this duel, witnessing the fairness of the duel in the name of God, so this duel is also called a duel before God.
