Chapter XXXIV

Jun'en Empire.

House of the House of Lot.

Bobilis sat in front of his grandfather with a lot of unease on his face.

Bobilis's impression of his grandfather Dracula from childhood to adulthood was that he was silent and unfazed.

Although Bobilis is regarded as the best successor of the younger generation of the Rhodes family, he rarely sees his grandfather, who lived in seclusion, and the Rhodes family is more of a few uncles in charge of the family's affairs.

Bobilis's father, Wilder Rod, was a member of Congress, a de facto member of Congress, who spent most of his time in the Imperial Diet and was not involved in the management of the family.

Dracula's eyes were half-squinted, his eyes always on the parchment in his hand, and he did not glance at his grandson.

Bobilis sat quietly, not daring to make a sound, he could feel that his back was already wet, his grandfather was just an ordinary old man, and he, a sixth-order god domain knight, didn't dare to breathe in front of him.

From the moment he entered the door of the family, he was brought directly to his grandfather Dracula, and Dracula did not raise his eyes at him at all from the time Bobilis entered the room until now, but quietly flipped through the parchment scrolls one by one.

I don't know how long it took, but Bobilis felt that he was already covered in sweat, and the smell of sweat began to smell faintly on his body after a day's journey, but he still sat and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Three days later, at the judgment ground of Jun'en Center, at your trial, don't forget your knightly will, go out. Dracula picked up another roll of parchment and looked at it.

When Bobilis heard Dracula's words, his heart sank, and his uneasy heart became even more frightened, and he nodded silently, did not speak, and turned to leave.

After leaving his grandfather's room, Bobilis saw his uncle waiting for him in the corridor not far away, so he walked over.

"Uncle Noban. Bobilis' voice was a little hoarse.

"Bobilis, your father asked me to take you to Councilor Quinn, and he wants to see you too, so you go out with me. Noban sighed and said to him.

Bobilis nodded, and saw that Noban turned to leave, and he followed.

A carriage had been parked at the door, and after Bobilis had boarded the carriage with Noban, he had been thinking about what his grandfather had said to him: "Do not forget your knightly will." He didn't know why his grandfather said that to him.

Recalling that night, after being beaten by Hillen, in anger, he lied in the battle report that Hillen had colluded with the Arissanret Empire and tried to frame Hillen, but he didn't expect Hillen's arrangement to be secretly reported in advance. This stupid act of his own undoubtedly smeared the face of the Lot family, and also violated the spirit of chivalry and the will of the knights, and for the next few days, he was always uneasy, and it was not until he heard the notice of the congressional trial that he regretted it.

After the carriage traveled a long way, it slowly stopped, Bobilis followed Noban out of the carriage, and when he saw the building in front of him, he was stunned for a moment, it was the judgment field of Jun'en Center, although he didn't understand that the trial had not yet begun, so he took him, but Bobilis still followed Noban to the judgment field, because he saw his father Wilder, and Quinn.

The judgment field of Jun'en Center is a large and very solemn circular square, with a stone platform in the middle, on which are placed many thick iron chains, which are used to lock the judged.

Bobilis walked to the bottom of the stone platform, and the two of them came to him, and did not speak, but looked at them with anxiety.

"Bobilis, do you know how many years this judgment has been under construction so far?" asked Quinn with one hand on the stone wall of the stone platform.

Bobilis knew that Quinn's words were not finished, and stood silently.

"This judgment ground has been recorded in Jun'en's history for more than 700 years. For 700 years, Junen has stood tall in the world and will continue to be passed on. Do you know why?" said Quinn slowly.

"It's because of this judgment ground. Do you know how many people have been judged in this court of judgment in these seven hundred years, and who have been judged?" Quinn's eyes were misty, and his voice was low.

"Here, on this stone platform, the commoners have been tried, the merchants have been tried, the soldiers have been tried, the nobles have been tried, the knights have been tried, the mages have been tried, the princes have been tried, the princesses have been tried, the queens have been tried, and the kings have been tried. Quinn's judgment was like a gavel, hammering on Bobilis's heart, and Bobilis's heart beat faster and faster as Quinn's words followed.

Quinn didn't look at him, just leaned against the stone wall and said slowly: "In the annals of history, there were four kings and nine queens who were tried here, and thirty-five knights were tried here and stripped of their knightly status, and you will be the thirty-sixth knight who was tried here." ”

Bobilis wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything at all, his eyes were already red, and he was almost on his knees under Quinn's words.

But six of the thirty-five knights regained their knightly names and established six families that have survived to this day. Among them is your ancestor, Christine Lot. Quinn slowly said something that shocked Bobilis.

Quinn's words made Bobilis can't believe his ears, his ancestor, one of the greatest knights of the Junn Empire, the "undefeated knight" Christine was once tried here and stripped of his knight's name, and also regained his own knight's name and established the incomparably glorious generation of the Rhodes family.

As if his faith had suddenly collapsed, Bobilis felt his breathing suddenly become difficult, as if his entire lungs had stopped working. He looked back at his father with difficulty.

"What Councillor Quinn said is true. Wilder nodded in acknowledgement.

"Going back to the question I just asked you, why has Jun'en been able to inherit for seven hundred years, and can continue to be passed on for even longer? You can see that the Arissanite Empire has many small local wars and rebellions every year. But in the Junen Empire, such rebellions almost never happened. Why?" asked Quinn.

"I don't know. Bobilis shook his head.

"Because of this judgment ground, Jun En has been given a new lease of life again and again, and countless great people have been transformed. Quinn's eyes were furious.

Quinn's fanatical gaze fell on Bobilis's face: "You are the next person who is about to be reborn, Jun's future, the future of the Lot family, will open a new chapter from the moment you transform." ”

Bobilis's heart beat so hard that he almost rushed out of his chest, he looked at the simple stone platform, walked slowly, followed the steps on the side of the stone platform, step by step, picked up the thick iron chains, handcuffed them one by one to his two legs and two hands, quietly faced east, and knelt down.

The frenzy on Quinn's face faded little by little when he saw Bobilis's move, and he looked at Wilder, who nodded, and the two left the trial room directly.
