"A thorough investigation of Day's alchemy workshop, the arrest of Dak's wife, no, please, and the former Stefan Street arrest squad who had been in close contact with him must also be quarantined and examined—talk to each other individually. I'm the acting minister of the Congregation of the Holy Doctrine, and he's a devout person, so don't I have the qualifications to investigate him?

Juanta slouched back in a comfortable soft chair, his right ankle resting on his left knee, shaking his leg triumphantly, the wide backrest obscuring his front, he was assigning tasks to his men in the communication circle.

"Crime? This is a normal investigation within the Holy Sect, and no one said that Vice Captain Dak committed a crime, yes, yes, please come over. You can see how to do it. Keep the jars and jars, maybe you can use them. I'll be blunt, keep something, maybe something will be the key evidence, and try to be polite and don't force the dog to jump off the wall. Well, okay, that's all. ”

As the call ended, Romanta lay back comfortably, the soft chair creaking low.

Prosperity. Everything is going according to plan.

Whether you are an evil heretic or a daring alchemist, there is only one identity when it comes to me: stepping stones.

At this moment, the stepping stone was calmly entering the reception room of the court.

The carved mahogany chair was made in the style of the Silk Kingdom of the Far East, and the openwork cover of the delicate silverware was made by the craftsmen of the Tila Peninsula, and the jewels hidden behind the plain exterior were enough to move any knowledgeable rich child, Duck glanced at it and remained silent.

His performance aroused great interest from two undercover observers.

"Paul, this is your opponent. It's a bit bold. There are many people of this age who tremble when they enter the door of the courtroom. ”

Paul smiled: "I don't even bother to put on a false show of deference and awe, either an ignorant and fearless fool, or a scheming and fearless fellow." Alright, Trisson, you watch here, I'll meet him. ”

"Be sure to spare his life before I show up, technology is innocent. ”

"I'm not sure if those inexplicable techniques will lead to a crime against him, so try to do it. ”

When a bored Duck went to look at the replica of the Holy Grail displayed in the cabinet for the second time, Director Paul finally pushed the door open.

"Hello, young and promising vice-captain. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Director Paul, you are not as terrible as the rumors say, on the contrary, I feel that you are an amiable person. Duck said, bowing to him.

Paul raised his hand to the chair next to him: "Sit." If I say that the rumors are not necessarily unfounded, will you change your attitude? You must know that with the wave of my hand, the heavenly light and pleasant scene in front of you will instantly turn into hell. ”

Duck smiled and said, "I have no doubt. Because that's where your job lies. The name of Paul the mad dog is quite loud. ”

Paul's facial muscles stiffened, and his tone became indifferent: "A drunkard in the darkest corner of a third-rate tavern might utter a similar foul sentence or two. Young man, this indecent name has not been passed directly to my ears many times. ”

"On the one hand, it shows your kindness and generosity, and on the other hand, it shows that you have been deliberately isolated from the people for a considerable period of time. ”

"Well, I didn't even know that I was talking to an outspoken official, not a suspect awaiting trial. Sometimes, young man, it's offensive not to be arrogant or humble, and you're quickly wearing down my patience. ”

"And then, groveling and self-deprecation to show my humility and incompetence? God, you wouldn't think that such an attitude would help solve the problem. ”

Paul's gaze sharpened: "Apart from the Pope, you are the first person to speak to me like this on my territory." I'm curious if you'll regret it after an hour. ”

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of believing that your land and your position are given by God, that you are God's servant, and that the ultimate purpose of all your actions is for God's good, right?"

Paul's face lengthened: "I have seen all kinds of lobbyists and debaters, and to tell you the truth, young man, your mouth is much inferior to theirs, if you can't make any more arguments that convince me...... You don't think it's a place to have a coffee and talk, do you?"

"This, of course, is the last frontier for justice and truth, the strongest and most unshakable bulwark of faith, and the whip for the lost Lamb. ”

Paul paused for a moment.

He is not deaf, how could he not know the reputation of the Inquisition?

When the Black Death raged, as many "polluted" people died at its hands as the disease, and some villages were slaughtered because of a few untrue rumors.

In the witch hunting campaign, the blood of the "witch" stained the white robes of every witcher, and various methods of torture and killing emerged in endlessly.

In the heretical probation movement, all those who have put forward views that are contrary to creationism have gone through the knife and every family. Some people's reputations have not been restored to this day.

For hundreds of years, the Inquisition has burned batches of heretics at the stake, and to put it bluntly, it can almost be equated with a slaughterhouse, and the name can stop children crying at night.

There was a bullish face in front of him, and now this kind of beautiful words suddenly appeared?

Soft?

Either way, it's a good start. As long as the egg cracks open, the contents are at your fingertips!

To his surprise, the young man came up with a direction he hadn't thought of.

"The Inquisition represents order, and the most chaotic and brutal order is better than no order. ”

"Order?"

"Yes, order. Take the heretical probation movement as an example, put aside all positions and just look at its results, and a lot of people died, right?"

Paul nodded slightly.

"I've looked at the statistics, and the number of executions at the peak of the movement was actually lower than at the beginning of the movement, do you know why?"

Paul was silent, and it was better to hide it in less familiar areas, especially since this young man had a different way of thinking, and if he was not careful, it was easy for him to incorporate it into the rhythm of his own conversation.

Duck didn't make him wait long: "Because of the contribution of the Inquisition." ”

Paul smiled dumbly: "Inquisition?"

In the later stages of the heretical reform, almost all death sentences were handed down by judges, and the stakes were burned like a forest, and the smoke and fire of the burning heresy covered the continent. Countless people have been unjustly killed.

This is a topic that even the clergy themselves are reluctant to mention.

"It is precisely because of the Inquisition that the indiscriminate killing of innocents in the first place has been effectively stopped. In the later stages, heretics could only be executed by the decision of the Inquisition. ”

"Hmm, you mean ......"

"Gone are the sights of kicking open a neighbor's door, pointing at your nose and saying you're a heretic, and then tying people up and beating them to death. Admittedly, there are still unlucky people who are executed as heretics, but at least, most of them survived the killing frenzy and bloody frenzy, and the Inquisition owes a lot of credit. It's still the same sentence just now, a brutal order is better than no order. ”

Paul stood up in astonishment, for this was the first time he had heard anyone judge the actions of the Inquisition from this perspective.

Is this guy still a heretic? Seemingly, there is some truth to it.

'But I still have to say no to the referee, a lot of people are saying no. Because it's stupid. ”

Paul sat down patiently, raised his hand, and motioned to continue.

Well, heretic, please keep playing tricks.

No, it would be too boring to watch the show alone, and he called out to the communication circle, "Ask Dean Trisson of the seminary to come." ”
