Justice Burke, dressed in a black robe, couldn't help but loosen his neckline, and his slightly trembling hand repeated it several times before finally untying it.

The day of Justice Burke's verdict was like the wrinkles on his hands, carved by the years to create the fine marks of the Tao, which was the silence of time. Although the hands were a little dark brown with age spots, it looked a little ugly, but it was these hands that sent many of the most vicious people to the prison of Shenghui City in the past forty years.

Among the prisoners he sentenced, there were even several nobles with distinguished status, which also earned him the reputation of "iron-faced selfless".

However, today's "iron face" of his has become a bitter melon face, since he learned a few days ago that he had become the judge of this open trial, Justice Burke, who has judged countless cases, has not slept a day peacefully.

"Ah," he sighed slightly, glancing at the two beside him.

Lord Burnley, the oldest Lord Chancellor in the whole of Radiant City, has been in practice even longer than Lord Burke. Because of his rich experience, he is known as the "book of law" in Shenghui City. Justice Burnley, who had retired three years ago, did not expect him to be here, and one of the presiding judges.

Lord Thibodeau, the most promising young judge in the city of Radiance. said to be "young", in fact, this person is also over middle age, with his excellent skills, he has solved several difficult cases, and he has become famous in Shenghui City in recent years, and he has a great posture of catching up.

These three people, both in terms of qualifications and ability, are all influential figures in the legal profession and authoritative masters, and they are gathered together today to try this shocking case. There was no joy or excitement on the faces of the three of them, only nervousness and depression, and even a little tiredness.

Lord Burke remembered the nobles, ministers, priests, and other people he had seen in the past few days. He has lived for more than 60 years, and he has seen more big people in these three or four days than he has seen in his life, how can this make him not honest and afraid?

In order to receive and deal with these nobles, Justice Burke racked his brains. He did not dare to make any promises to them, and he could not disobey them to their faces, and after a few days, Justice Burke only felt as if he was ten years older, and had lost a lot of weight.

How could he have time to prepare for this protracted case? Such an important case should have been carefully prepared for at least half a month in advance before the trial can begin. But this time, due to the emperor's strict order, the open trial had to be hastily promoted.

With so many distractions, Justice Burke simply did not have the confidence to hear the case well. "Burnley and Lord Justice Thibodeau must be the same?", at this time he could only comfort himself.

The city guards moved all the props needed for the court to the center of the square, and the surrounding people were in an uproar.

"Hey, it's on, it's on!" they shouted, and their voices mingled with each other, turning the square into a market like a wet market.

"Silence!" shouted Justice Burke.

"Take the plaintiff!", this was originally the work of the junior judge, and Justice Burke had not done it for many years, and he was very unaccustomed to it, and he was a little hoarse without shouting a few times.

However, the suppression of the city guards was effective, and finally the noise of the people was suppressed, and they brought Medea and Levi, who were heavily defended, to the square.

"Take the defendant!"

As Justice Burke finished shouting, several priests behind the three judges also walked to the center of the square. From this point it can be seen that the power of the Holy Church is so strong that the priests actually went to the square with the judges. Such scenes cannot but make people worry about whether the three justices can enforce the law impartially.

When the plaintiff and the defendant met, they were naturally opposite each other, and they were very angry. It was as if two masters were staring at each other before a duel, and the dark tide between the swords and swords surged out, and the atmosphere was even more solemn. Even those people consciously closed their mouths one by one, not daring to speak loudly anymore.

Suddenly, something stinking and filthy flew out of the crowd and threw it directly at Medea and Merlin, accompanied by a large number of foul words: "You two blasphemers, you really do not die well, and you will suffer in hell for thousands of years."

With the protection of the city guards, these filths naturally can't be thrown at two people. However, this filth and scolding seemed to remind the people in the square:

We, who seem to be believers too, are we just watching like this?

So like fireworks suddenly set off during the festival, the tidal wave of shouting and scolding suddenly flooded the entire square.

Titles such as "Devil!" and "Blasphemous" were heard endlessly, and many miscellaneous items were thrown at the two mages, and several people were so excited that they even threw their own shoes out.

"Silence!", "Silence!", Lord Burke shouted loudly, but his faint voice, in the shouting of the people, was really a drop in the ocean, and had no effect.

Suddenly, the debris that had been thrown at the two mages suddenly stopped in the air, and then sped up and rushed towards the people in the square.

With the blessing of huge speed, these debris smashed on the human body with a "bang" sound, followed by the moaning of people, and the taste of being hit by a hard object that accelerates so fast is absolutely uncomfortable.

"It's magic, it's magic!", someone in the crowd shouted, and then people remembered that the two who had sued the Holy Sect were mages, and they were not the ones they could humiliate.

The whole square was suddenly quiet, and Justice Burke struck the gavel several times and shouted "Silence!" several times, and finally brought the situation under control.

"Ahem. He cleared his throat and began to walk: "The plaintiffs: Medea Merlin and Levi Dolosi, the case of the two of them accusing the Holy Sect of fabricating false gods and deceiving the world is now in open court!"

First of all, I would like to state to the two accusers that, according to the laws of the Kingdom of St. Teresa, "the crime of false accusation shall be punished by reversing, and the crime shall be increased by one degree." In other words, the false accuser himself bears the punishment of the false accusation, and the crime is also increased by one degree. ”

According to the charges brought by the plaintiff, the penalty under the criminal law is the death penalty. Therefore, I would like to conclude with one last word to the two of you: if it is falsely accused, it is too late to admit it. If you don't come to your senses, it's too late to regret it!", After speaking, Justice Burke looked at the two mages with a little expectation, hoping to hear the words "framed" from the mouths of these two people, so that he could free himself from this quagmire of trial.
