Chapter 208, Public Trial and Judgment

“...... Based on the above testimony, Tiger XIV is now convicted of colluding with the dead and persecuting the people!"

When the purification was finally over, Panda had just returned to the castle when Roland called him to West Winglyka City, just in time to witness the crucial moment of the trial of Tiger XIV.

On the judgment seat, the aged paladin was full of gray hair, but he became more and more imposing. He did not wear armor, but a judge's robe, on which was the coat of arms of a professional judge.

The clergy of the God of Law and Justice are, in theory, indeed professional judges. Among the various churches, they are the few that can be affirmed by the lord. The reason for this lies in their position – the clergy of the God of Law and Justice do not seek justice, they seek "the fair and just execution of the law."

For a holy warrior who is a god of law and justice, as long as it is a law, both good and evil should be enforced. In general, they have a good relationship with the Church of the God of Order, and a poor relationship with the Church of the God of Justice and the Church of the God of Suffering.

In the Republic of Western Bunleyka, the clergy of the Church of the God of Law and Justice are qualified as judges. The main reason why Roland dragged them into the pursuit of Tiger XIV was to use their identities to give legitimacy to the operation.

Tiger XIV was the consul of West Winglyka, and the Tiger family was one of the most powerful families in West Winglaika. If you can't put an official signboard on this operation, then what awaits everyone will inevitably be a crazy counterattack from the major families of West Winglyka.

Only by virtue of the official legal status of the Church of the God of Law and Justice can the charges of Tiger XIV be confirmed first, so that the Tiger family cannot get rid of this great crime, can this powerful family be forced to make concessions.

As long as the Tiger family gives in today, the matter of "colluding with the undead" can be regarded as ironclad. There is such a crime, and instead of uniting with them, the major families will join forces to put pressure on them - the world of the nobility is very cruel, like a jungle. When a mighty beast is wounded, the beasts that usually do not interfere with the water of the river will cast a spiping eye at it.

However, Roland himself did not expect things to go so smoothly.

When the paladins hunted Tiger XIV, a powerful legendary necromancer emerged to rescue him or kill him.

This can't be a real hammer!

Not to mention, not only did their group participate in the battle at that time, but there were also four legendary priests, especially the "Sage" Yager, who was a figure of the spiritual leader level of Western Winglyka. With his old man as a witness, the Tiger family didn't even dare to defend at all, and the steward they sent was nodding and nodding and nodding again from beginning to end, looking like "I'm guilty, I repent", and he couldn't be more honest.

As for Tiger XIV himself...... Who will pay attention to him? This world is not the earth, there is no such thing as "the defendant defending himself", the plaintiff plus the evidence and the judge are enough, and in most cases, the defendant is even gagged and brought to court.

Tiger XIV enjoyed such treatment, the old man had been stunned by the terrified aura of the demigod lich, and remained unconscious throughout the trial. There was no other reaction than to twitch from time to time, scream twice, and say a few words in a dream.

Roland had collected a lot of information before, coupled with the demigod lich's attack this time, and the defendant was so cooperative, it is no wonder that the whole trial process was very smooth, not to mention that the Tiger family did not dare to refute, and even the other families who came in a hurry after getting the news were also wise to remain silent.

Because everyone can see that this time the Tiger family is doomed.

When the panda arrived at the judgment bench that had been temporarily erected in the central square of West Brulyka, he heard the final verdict.

"Death penalty, immediate execution!"

One paladin brought a large stump, and another placed Tiger XIV, who was still unconscious, on the stump.

The paladin in charge of the interrogation looked at the steward of the Tiger family: "If you have any requests, you can do so now." ”

The steward shook his head again and again: "The family is unfortunate, where can we ask for anything! We are satisfied only that we must purify his body after the execution to prevent him from becoming a dead spirit." ”

He said it sincerely, and there was even half a tear in the corner of his eye, and the panda couldn't help but praise it, and secretly called "good actor" in his heart.

Of course he is a good actor, whoever believes him is stupid!

Now that the situation is not good, he is so honest. If the situation is in his favor, Panda believes that this seemingly honest fellow will do all kinds of crazy bad things.

Can the Tiger family be entrusted with a heavy task in danger, could it be an honest person?

Don't be funny!

With such exaggerated acting skills, even elementary school students won't believe it!

But obviously, people in this world generally do not have the same resistance to exaggerated acting skills as the netizens on the earth who have been bombarded with information, and the performance of the steward "sad and weeping" immediately won the unanimous praise of the onlookers, and many people are sighing in a low voice, lamenting the misfortune of the Tiger family.

Hearing this, the panda rolled his eyes secretly.

When I stormed Tiger Castle before, I detected evil in a wide range and threw it out, from soldiers to servants, all of them were red! Not even a single light red, all of them were dark red, red to purple, red to black, and there were many people.

This Tiger family is the root of all evil!

At that time, more than one paladin had even proposed to simply strike the iron plow and sweep the cave while it was hot, and this evil lair was razed. If it weren't for the strong opposition of the Church of the God of Order and the Church of the God of Law, they really planned to kill at that time.

(Forget it, maybe after this shock, they will be more honest in the future, right?, they have to give people a chance to mend their ways...... If I hear about the bad deeds of the Tiger family in the future, it will not be too late for me to knock on the door again. )

Thinking so, the killing intent in the panda's heart subsided.

At the judgment seat, as the old paladin of law and justice waved his order, the paladin who acted as the executioner immediately swung his long sword.

The head fell, and blood spurted out.

Roland, who had been prepared for a long time, did not wait for his head to land, his body flashed with white light, and the golden-red flame had already fallen on the body of Tiger XIV. When the flame touched his corpse, it suddenly became violent, enveloping the surrounding area in an instant.

"It's wicked!" the paladin next to him shook his head and said, "I can actually make the flame burn to this point!"

After a while, the flame dissipated, but the corpse and its contents were undamaged, but the corpse, which had looked quite old before, was now getting more and more unpresentable.

Tiger XIV had relied on the Elixir of Necromancy to avoid dying of old age, but now that the potency of the Elixir of Necromancy had been burned by the Holy Fire, his corpse naturally returned to its original appearance.

Old, decayed, ugly, disgusting.
