Late at night.

The festival day came to an end in the evening, and the clergy who had been busy all day went to rest early today, and everyone was very tired, even the strictest people would be considerate of them today, and the strictest people in the entire holy capital were not here today.

However, in the middle of the night, there was still a light on in the office of the Inquisition in the office area.

Kona, the current president of the Inquisition, is still busy at his desk.

Da, da, da, the sound of crisp footsteps broke the silence of the hallway, and Kona looked up, he could hear it clearly. Who could be here at such a late hour? Kona couldn't help but be alert. He cautiously moved to the door of his office and waited.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to him, not fast, and he walked slowly with an even pace, da, da, da. Kona took a breath, he was relatively unfamiliar with the battle system of the holy words, if the comer was not good, it would really be troublesome, he tried to recall a few commonly used holy words, if he really wanted to fight, then at least he had to fight for the opportunity to inform the others.

The footsteps finally stopped outside the door of his room. "Knock knock. "It's a knock on the door.

Kona's heart jumped wildly, what should I do? Rush out? Or wait for him to break in? Just as he hesitated, there was another knock on the door.

"Who?" Kona asked tentatively, he clenched his fists, now instead of thinking about those unfamiliar holy words, it would be more direct to open the door and give him a punch directly, the fist blessed by two layers of power is not small.

"It's me. A woman's voice came, it was not loud, it sounded deliberately low.

"This voice," Kona muttered to himself, "as if it had been heard somewhere." ”

"I'm Yokana, open the door, Kona you won't forget me, will you?" the woman outside the door seemed to be a little angry.

"Senior sister!" Kona hurriedly opened the door when she heard Yokana's name, and the second saintess was indeed standing outside the door, one of her hands was covering her stomach for some reason, and her face was a little angry, "I have long heard that you are back in the Holy Capital today, and I originally wanted to visit you, but there are too many things..."

"Forgot it, did you?" Jokana guessed his words.

"I'm so sorry" Kona hurriedly let Yokana in, "I'm really sorry, I really forgot, Senpai, really!" Kona looked like a child who had made a mistake at this time, repeatedly emphasizing the truth of his statement, but he didn't know how to explain it at all.

Looking at the piles of papers on the table, Yokana knew he wasn't lying, "Isn't it a bit of a cart before the horse to stay up in the middle of the night to get on business, Kona?" she carefully sat down in a chair in her office, clutching her stomach.

"I'm tired and I'll just lie on my stomach and rest for a while, the number of heresy reports I have received recently has increased a lot, and everyone in the entire trial is very tired after screening one by one, and I will give them half a day off at the end of today's sacrifice day, and I will try to bring some of their work. ”

"You" Yokana looked at him, the expression on her face changed from happy to angry, "I know that your new official has been in office for less than two years and wants to work hard to make some achievements, but you also have to pay attention to the degree, what if you are exhausted." ”

"It would be nice to restore the holy word, I'm still young, tossing up. Kona took a chair and sat down next to Jokana.

"We old people, now we are thinking about how to survive every day, you young people are better, waste your life force casually. Yokana was genuinely unhappy at this time.

"Senior sister...", Kona was a little unconvinced, "You weren't lazier than me when you were the chairman, you are talking about me now." ”

"I—" Jokana was agitated, and a throbbing pain in her abdomen hit her, and she had to close her eyes and endure it.

"Senpai, what's wrong with your stomach?" From the beginning, it seemed that something was wrong with Yokana, and Kona saw her expression now, and wanted to reach out to check it worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Yokana didn't let his hand touch her, "I ate less at night, and I was hungry." ”

"Hungry?" said Kona, scratching his head suspiciously, "then I'll get you something to eat, I've got a lot of dry food here, and sometimes I'm too lazy to go to the cafeteria, so I'll take a few for a mat." ”

"Then go get it. I'm hungry. Yokana waved him to go.

"Okay. Kona quickly turned and ran.

As soon as he turned around, Yokana immediately used the healing word to temporarily treat her wound, at least not to let it hurt so much, and she couldn't finish talking.

By the time Kona got the rations back, Yokana's face had relaxed a lot. She symbolically picked up a piece of ration and took a bite of "The Taste of the Holy Capital~" Originally, she just wanted to pretend, but this familiar feeling made her begin to reminisce.

"Senior sister, if you like it, I can prepare some for you to take back. ”

"Hmm," Yokana nodded vigorously, "they must miss the smell too, give me two more boxes." ”

"No problem. Kona looked at Yokana's eating with relish, and couldn't help but sigh, "Senior sister, I really haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"It's been nine years, and the last time I came back was nine years ago. ”

"That's right. Kona said as he wrapped his thumb around, "Think about what it's like to work under Senpai, it's like yesterday, but I didn't expect that now I'm the chairman." ”

Yokana smiled, "It's only been less than two years, but you're doing a good job for the time being." ”

"It's far worse than me. Kona, who was praised, suddenly stood up excitedly, "I still have to learn from my senior sister." ”

"Don't come to this set, you know what I do, the rest is up to you whether you dare or not. Yokana pulled him back to his seat and handed him a ration, "Reward yours, give." ”

Kona smiled and took the rations, "I understand, I will definitely be the same as you in the future, no matter who you are, what your identity is, once you are suspicious, you will be interrogated by us." ”

Hearing this, Yokana's face began to become serious, "Although I am glad that you say this, but you seem to have suffered a big loss because of this recently." ”

"Senior sister, you're talking about Yalts Langli. Kona's face began to be unhappy when he heard this, "It's obviously something that everyone in the Holy Capital knows, and when I went to record their confessions, both Modrella and Mosas denied it, it was like a negotiation." ”

"You also broke into Facius's room because of this incident and tried to forcibly take someone away. As a result, he counted them all down. Yokana added.

"You know that, Senpai. Kona knocked down the table indignantly, "Lord Vice-Bishop is too protective of Yass Langley, all of them are." After saying that, Yokana slapped him on the head, "Oh, what are you doing, senior sister." ”

"Wake up you stupid head. Yokana looked at Kona with a look of hatred, "You did so well before, why are you so unenlightened about this?" ”

"Senior sister, do you mean that you want me to give in to the vicara?" Kona stood up again excitedly, "I will not give up, I will definitely find evidence to try Yass Langley."

"Sit down!" Jokana gave a fierce look on her face, looking really angry.

Seeing this expression, Kona had goosebumps all over his body, and he quickly sat down in fear.

Yokana closed her eyes and slowly calmed down the emotions that were surging up, "Anyway, you have been working under me for so many years, and you can actually say such things, do you think I am such a person?"

"I'm sorry, senior sister..."Kona apologized repeatedly, "I didn't mean to say that, I'm really angry about this, and I'm excited..."

Yokana frowned, she didn't want an apology, she sighed, "I ask you, what crime did Yass Lanley commit?"

"Heresy?" said Kona, a look of course.

Seeing his attitude, Yokana couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, why?"

"The reason is Mosas's public whistleblower letter. "What Kona said was clear.

Yokana nodded, "Oh, what does the letter say?"

In the letter, Kona began to try to remember, "She said that she was bent on a suicidal expedition with no regard for the lives of her teammates, which is almost the same thing." ”

Yokana's expression at this time was quite bad, but Kona still didn't understand why the senior sister's reaction was so big, "Okay, my stupid junior, let me ask you, how did you judge this fact as a heresy?"

"Reckless for our lives, how can we clergy allow others to die?" Kona knew she would ask, and her head had already organized the language in advance.

"Have you ever wondered why she did this?" asked the point, and Yokana pulled Kona's collar to her with a straight face.

"Why..."Kona was a little flustered by the senior sister's pull, and began to speak incoherently, "Because... It seems like... That"

Because she wanted to get enough information so that Facius and the other agents could get a more detailed picture of the enemy when they entered. Yokana interrupted Kona's nonsense, "Think about it, can this fact still be convicted of heresy?"

"This..."Kona was stunned, if the motive was this, "Then Yass Langley is not only right, but meritorious?"

Another slap slapped on Kona's head, and the hand that grabbed the collar didn't let go, "What a merit! What a merit is to ignore the lives of your teammates!"

Kona was slapped like this, covered his head and began to apologize, "I'm sorry, Senpai, it's not meritorious, it's not..."

"Then what is her behavior? I can't tell you don't do it, Chairman!" Jokana choked on Kona's series of stupidity, and she meant it.

Corner's mind was finally turned around normally, and he thought about the various rules and regulations of the Inquisition, as well as the trait of the many prisoners he encountered while working under his senior sister, "fanatical!" The word popped into his head, "To be exact, a fanatic, who has caused harm to himself because of his extreme piety." ”

"That's right!" Jokana let go of his collar, "after all, you haven't done so many years in vain, and you finally got what you think." Yokana accented the last two words, "Now do you understand why so many people don't cooperate with you?"

"I see. Kona nodded, "This kind of behavior is not the scope of the Heresy Inquisition's responsibilities in the first place, I have so many things, they must be annoying me, and the punishment of Yass Langli being deprived of the qualification of the saint, Facius is also just." ”

Yass Langley was certainly not a fanatic, but in extreme circumstances, her faith was tested, and she fell into a deformed frenzy in that moment in order to prove her steadfastness. ”

Kona listened and nodded repeatedly, "Fanaticism is different from heresy, heresy is disrespect or even contempt for the gods and the creed of the church, fanaticism is in turn disdain for one's own life, I should be able to distinguish it, the difference is so obvious." ”

"Hey, young man, impulsive, so happy, to see such a high-ranking saint make a mistake, you must be so excited that you don't use your mind at all. Yokana's reproach hit the nail on the head and pierced Kona's heart.

"I'm sorry, senior sister, I've embarrassed you. Kona lowered his head, "You hit me, just two hits are not enough." ”

Seeing Kona's appearance, Yokana was angry and funny, "Forget it, hit you... Who did so many things to hurt you?" "For the sake of Kona's good attitude of admitting his mistakes, the saint still forgave him" There are some important points I want to tell you about this matter, these are very important to you, listen carefully to me. ”

"Senior sister, you say. "Kona was very sincere at this time, like an apprentice who humbly asked for advice.

"Have you ever thought about this, strictly speaking, this should not be Facius's business, but Modelira's responsibility. ”

Kona nodded at her words, "Is it because it was the wrong decision of the captain of the adventurers?" ”

"So how did this end up in the hands of Facius?"

"Because of Mosas's report?"

"Mosas reported to the Holy Capital, and the Holy Capital was naturally in charge, and it was Facius who was responsible for managing all the saints and knights, so this matter naturally fell into his hands. ”

"That's right. And what about Jasminela?"

"What do you think, if this kind of thing is according to the rules of the Adventurer's Guild, what will happen to Yass Langli?"

"I might want to disqualify the adventurers. ”

"That's right, so Mosas didn't report it to Modrila, and Mosdella played dumb when you went to testify, you understand the reason behind that, right?"

"Mosas doesn't want to be cruel to Yass Langley..."

"Well, you're finally enlightened?" Jokana picked up another piece of dry food, "Mosas just wanted to give Yass Langli a punishment, and didn't want to ruin her, and Facius also shielded Yass Langli a little, after all, she was only punished and rebuilt, and she was still a saint after the repair." ”

"What was originally such a serious matter, with so many people compromising, turned a big deal into a small one. ”

Yokana shook her head, "You're wrong, this matter wasn't a big deal, because her decision was overruled as a result, wasn't it? And she didn't act on her own, but the subsequent development of things was relatively bad, and her thoughts didn't actually have any impact." ”

"This..."

Although this is the case, Mosas should feel that although it did not have an impact, the nature of her thoughts is very bad, after all, ordinary fanatics are nothing more than sacrificing themselves, and Yass Langli was sacrificing the whole team at that time, so this small matter was made big by a public report by Mosas. ”

"When the matter got big and punished Yass Langley, the matter was made small by a few of them..."

"Yes," Yokana laughed, "you have the power and the means to make things bigger and smaller at will, as the president of the Inquisition, you may not be involved in this kind of thing, but you must see the truth of this kind of thing, otherwise you will easily step on the forbidden area." Now that you are young, they will not bother with you, but if they think that you are a fool, then they will refuse to cooperate with you in many things in the future, and it will be a sad day. ”

Kona had a look of sudden realization on his face, "Thank you, senior sister, these words have taught me a lot today. Kona said as he stood up again, and he bowed to Yokana, "Thank you so much, Senpai. ”

Yokana didn't stop her, she accepted the thanks with a smile, she stood up holding her stomach, "Although I haven't eaten enough, I can't eat more, don't forget if you bring more before I leave tomorrow." She walked in the direction of the door.

"Are you leaving? I'll send you, senior sister. Kona hurried to the door and opened it for her.

"No, although I've been here before, I'm not here anymore, and if someone sees me in contact with you late at night, it might be misunderstood. ”

"It's so late..."

"No," Yokana explicitly refused, "as the president of the Inquisition, you must be absolutely impartial, and you must not have any tricks, do you know?"

"Yes. Kona nodded.

"Let's go, take care of yourself. ”

"You too, Senpai. ”

Yokana nodded, then left the room, closing the door with her hand.

As soon as she left Kona's sight, a look of pain appeared on Yokana's face, and she walked as far as she could, until she couldn't hold on anymore and had to crouch on the ground to relieve the pain. Although I wanted to use the Restoration Word to hold on a little longer, it was pitch black all around, and if I used the Word, the golden light would be too conspicuous.

She touched her wound, and the other three had healed, except for the belly, which was halfway through treatment, when Yass Langley talked about Kona. Jokana hurried here.

She sighed, dipped her hand in the blood on the wound, and then Yokana scratched the ground with her fingers, and the blood formed a small patch of blood on the ground, through which she activated the water mirror communication, "Xiao Xiuya, come in and pick me up, I really hurt and can't walk, remember to take your steps lightly and not be discovered." ”

There was a slight sound of consent from the blood, and Yokana relaxed against the wall of the hallway, "Alas, there is no one who is worry-free. ”

Shuya quickly found her and quietly brought her back, but Yokana, who thought she had no trace, left the blood on the ground. The night passed, the blood dried, and at first it did not attract the attention of ordinary people, but the careful chairman of the Inquisition still found traces of his senior sister, and for several years after that, he repeatedly blamed himself for his stupidity, and he did not find such a simple fact. However, it is precisely because of this incident that the chairman, who was originally arrogant and impulsive, has become a cautious and unsmiling judge.

Our right to judge is transgression, and we are guilty, but we must always be guilty of sin. This is a phrase left by the president of the Inquisition to his younger generations at the beginning of its existence, and every president will engrave this sentence on his desk, and this sentence still shows his value today.
