"I'm against it! The prosecution's witnesses are slandering without evidence!"

Induced by Bastian, Miller's testimony continues, no matter how Aldrich growls and refutes. It wasn't until Ye Qingxuan's 'saint disguise' was punctured and coated with a stench of pitch black that his testimony finally stopped.

Then, no more talking.

There is nothing to say.

"Thank you for your support of justice and the law. ”

Bastian patted him on the shoulder: "I know how much pressure you are under standing here, it's hard work, you can go and rest for a while." ”

After a long time, Miller looked up blankly, glanced at him, and retreated from the courtroom under the guidance of the bailiff.

Just in front of the door, he heard Ye Qingxuan's voice behind him.

"Miller. ”

Miller's footsteps paused, but he didn't look back.

"I don't hate you. ”

Ye Qingxuan looked at his back and said softly, "I know how painful it is for you to stand here, and I can guess what happened." It's my fault because of me. ”

Miller laughed hollowly, lowered his head, and strode away.

The back was old and rickety, as if it had been completely crushed by something.

Ye Qingxuan lowered his eyes gloomily.

And just behind him, the corners of Bastian's mouth were slightly raised, and the chill in his eyes was even worse.

This is just the beginning.

There's still a long way to go.

First instance, retrial, third trial...... He also prepared a lot of gifts for him.

As long as he wears it off little by little, Ye Qingxuan will be defeated from his personality sooner or later.

As long as he clearly understood how much disaster he would bring to those around him if he was alive, he would have died in prison without even having them hand him a rope.

He flicked his nails slightly, and smiled meaningfully-

On the jury bench, Maxwell was expressionless, just glanced at Lancelot in the auditorium and bowed slightly.

Lancelot looked down, looked at the time on his pocket watch, took a deep breath, and finally made up his mind.

He got up and left.

Soon, beside Aldrich, the ether ball in the student's arms flickered, and after looking down for a moment, he looked down for a moment, and then whispered something to Aldridge with a relieved expression.

His lips opened and closed silently, but Aldrich's anger dissipated.

There was a hint of cruelty and viciousness in the old man's eyes.

There's also a chilling chill.

Bastian was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, and felt a hint of unease.

"Your Excellency!"

Aldrich raised his head and said solemnly: "We, we also apply for witnesses to appear." ”

"Against......!"

Bastian subconsciously blocked it, but just halfway through it, he didn't know how to continue. How to object? Witnesses are not on the list and are not in order?

Just kidding, ten minutes ago, it was myself who took the lead in violating the rules...... At this point, if you get entangled with this old turtle, I am afraid you will not be able to take any advantage.

Judge Borja also has no way to support himself, after all, he has just passed his application, and if Anglo is stuck here, then he will lose his impartiality. If Anglo were to make a big deal about it, he would even be able to say that he was obstructing justice as a judge.

So, how do you stop it?

Bastian's mind raced, and he suddenly raised his hand before the judge dropped the gavel: "Your Excellency, we ask that the identity and credibility of the witnesses be verified before they appear in court to ensure that their testimony is credible!"

He paused and looked at Aldrich meaningfully: "After all, this is the Holy Wheel Court, if the defender casually finds some people from three religions and nine ranks to mess around in the event of a defeat, it will be undignified!"

Before witnesses appear in court, Bastian asks the court to take the lead in verifying the identity of the witnesses.

We must take advantage of the first mover and never fall into passivity!

Although he didn't know what evidence and clues Anglo had at hand, he left himself plenty of buffer time during the period when the court checked the identity of the witnesses.

Moreover, if there is a deliberate delay, the whole process can be stretched to more than half an hour!

Half an hour?

For the examiners of the Ministry of Sacred Indulgence, it is enough to get rid of the witness investigation and be prepared for everything. At that time, Anglo will lose the advantage of suddenness, and will fall into passivity because his side has been prepared.

After hearing this, Judge Borja bowed his head slightly, and was about to raise the gavel and knock it off, but the action suddenly stopped.

"Three Sects and Nine Streams?"

Through the door, a hoarse cough was heard.

"Am I down to this point?"

The door slammed open, and an old man with a cane walked in from behind the door.

No bailiff stopped him, and no one dared to stop him.

In the eyes of everyone, Bastian froze, his expression stiffened, as if he had seen a ghost.

He had not appeared in public for half a month, and the visitor seemed to be dozens of years old, older than before, withered and stale, like a dead man struggling to lie in the grave.

Because of obsession and unwillingness, he survives in this world and does not want to die.

And now, he wore the Order's gown that he hadn't worn for a long time, a pure black robe with pale gold trim, a black crown on his head, and an old rosary wrapped around his wrist, from which the emblem drooped and swayed as he went.

It's like going to a solemn ceremony.

He walked slowly and staggeringly into the courtroom on crutches, stood on the witness stand in full view of everyone, glanced contemptuously at Bastien, and finally at the pale judge Borja:

"Now, if anyone has any doubts about my identity and credibility, they can come up and check, if you don't think this bishop title is enough, and what about the identity of the 'Captain of the Witch's Hammer Knights'?"

“......”

In the long silence, Judge Borja was silent, his face changed violently, and after a long time, he took off his glasses and stared at the old man in the witness seat.

"Bishop Michel, according to the etiquette, I see that you should salute, but this is the Holy Wheel Court, and I, as a judge, cannot bow my head to anyone, so please forgive me. ”

His voice was a little hoarse: "Do you want to know what you are doing? What are you here for?"

The last word is almost questioned.

"What do you want?"

And on the witness seat, the dying old man coughed softly, and when he heard his voice, he raised his head and smiled.

"Didn't you just say that? I'm here to appear as a witness. ”

The head of the Order's Doctrine of Faith, the Archbishop of the Holy City, and the head of the Knights of the Witch's Hammer, Michelle Gray, appear in court!

It was only at this time that there was a stunned exclamation from the audience.

As the head of the Ministry of Faith and Reason, Michelle has been sick in bed for a long time and has not appeared in public for a long time, so no one recognizes him except for a limited number of people.

But after recognizing it, I felt that I was hallucinating, which was unbelievable.

Congregation of the Doctrine of Faith!

The head of the Ministry of Faith and Reason!

The head of the Congregation of the Faith appeared in court as a witness for Anglo!

Are you kidding?!

"Is he crazy?!"

There was an irrepressible murmur from the auditorium, and even Borja could not contain it when he struck the hammer several times, and people kept getting up and leaving the table to report the astonishing development to the organization to which they belonged.

This kind of thing is so ridiculous that it's like the Hundred Eyes suddenly holding hands with the Holy City and making friends together!

The Doctrine Department that single-handedly raised Colt as a hero, the Doctrine Department that almost kicked Ye Qingxuan into hell, the Doctrine Department that spent an unknown amount of money to rescue Colt, the Doctrine Department that was killed by Ye Qingxuan six masters, and the Doctrine Department that lost dozens of witches' hammers...... There is also the Ministry of Faith and Doctrine that Ye Qingxuan stepped on the last dignity in front of the gate of the Holy City......

Michelle actually appeared in court as Ye Qingxuan's witness!

Is he crazy?!

Even in the jury seats, everyone looked at each other, and in the end they all looked at Maxwell as if they had seen a ghost. Maxwell, on the other hand, looked down at the scribbles on the manuscript paper in front of him, as if he was wandering into the world.

He had already experienced the same shock several days ago.

On that day, he and Lancelot began to hallucinate when they discovered that the person who had secretly infiltrated Anglo's embassy and walked into the office was Michelle.

At the time he almost thought it was a conspiracy of the Holy See Single-minded Friars.

Even he couldn't believe it.

Originally, this good hand of lore should be left for the last time to be played, but he didn't expect that the single-minded monk would be so unscrupulous in order to kill Ye Qingxuan.

Even Miller, who was a member of the Holy City's powerhouse, had to succumb to their pressure, not to mention the others......

Procrastination will only make things worse.

The two had to open this hole card in advance.

And because of this, it is also necessary to bear a heavy price......-

After a long silence, Judge Borja made a hoarse voice.

"Since there is no such precedent in the Holy Wheel Court, and there is no process for responding, it was my negligence to be unprepared for the suddenness of the incident, for which I take full responsibility. ”

He raised the gavel: "Adjourn for half an hour." ”

"No need. ”

Michelle's cloudy eyes lowered, and he said lightly: "If I am not mistaken, there will be an edict from the Papal Palace to you soon." ”

Three seconds later, a loud bell rang in the distance.

An indifferent voice came.

"The trial continues. ”

Immediately afterward, a divine glow descended from heaven and fell on the jury's seat. Behind the jury bench, the light projected a row of long tables, behind which seven figures sat upright, robes majestic and grim faces.

The College of Cardinals!

"Judge Borja. One of the figures said indifferently: "By His Majesty's decree, the Cardinal Conference will be a witness, so there is no need to worry, continue the trial." ”

Judge Borha's complexion changed, and after a long time, he knocked down the gavel and said in a hoarse voice:

"The trial continues. ”

So, on the witness seat, Michelle smiled with relief.

"I surrender myself to the Holy City. ”

He took off the crown of his head and placed it beside him, revealing his sparse white hair and ugly scalp.

"All of Ye Qingxuan's actions were personally instructed by me, and he was forced to assist me because of his position. I'm willing to take all the responsibility and pay for it. ”

The audience was in an uproar!――

I'll just say two words, monthly pass !!! (to be continued.) )
