Chapter 885: Presiding Judge

"Downton, you calm me down, if you offend the Inquisition, you don't want to achieve anything in your life. ”

Homer hurriedly stopped it, the entire Western Land Continent is the supremacy of theocracy, and the concept of divine authority of kings is deep-rooted, even if the Lombard League is commercially developed and has a budding tendency to capitalism.

The only exception is the Brittany Empire, where Empress Madeleine was crowned, led the Imperial Legion to defeat the evil gods, and reigned over the entire Western Continent, allowing the sun to shine through the ages.

Madeleine is known as the first queen of mankind, and is recognized as the top three among the great emperors of all ages throughout the ages, but not because of her brilliant exploits, but because she was the first to challenge the power of God as a human being.

During the years of Madeleine's reign, the refusal of the Pope to crown and confer decorations made the imperial power of Brittania completely overwhelm the divine power, and the more than 100 years of time were also the most bleak time in the history of the Holy See of the Light Flame, and even the believers once thought that the Goddess of Light had abandoned them.

If it weren't for Queen Madeleine's unexpected death, perhaps now, the Holy City of Light would only become a symbol, and the Goddess of Light would have turned into a symbol.

No king likes to be pressed on his head by divine power, and the kings of the subsequent kingdoms have not tried to learn Madeleine's governing methods and suppress the Flame Holy See, but unfortunately all of them failed.

In order to avoid the recurrence of that gloomy time, the first thing the popes did when they were crowned was to strengthen their control and influence over the nations, increase the number of believers, and let the will of the divine authority of kings take root.

There is a natural contradiction between divine right and royal power, and the former priests of Pherfo can casually enter the palace and talk to the old king, not to mention the Inquisition, which is the most mysterious of the three major institutions of the Holy See, with a high and powerful position. Powerful.

The Knights of the Apocalypse, in addition to not taking Downton's status as the Hand of the King seriously, are more likely to dismount and let him know that the divine right is inviolable.

"I see!"

Listening to Homer's explanation, Downton suddenly realized. "Does that mean as long as I listen to them, it doesn't matter if I have an army of the undead?"

"As long as you can control the undead, these are not a problem, in fact, you are a Templar yourself, and you have a close relationship with the Holy See, if you are a little more interesting, you will get unexpected benefits. ”

Homer originally planned to let Downton understand it himself, but this kid was about to fight when he came up, so he could only speak. Otherwise, if it is stiff, the relationship will not be able to make up for it.

"Excuse me, I can't do it!" Downton shook his head, "If you have to kneel to live, then I'd rather die!"

"Cool, I just like your tone!"

The cheap god shouted happily, he really didn't see the wrong person, this is the mentality of the strong. Otherwise, even if it becomes a marshal, or even a legend. It's also a humble ant soul!

The faces of the Knights of the Apocalypse turned stern, and one by one, armed with flails and war hammers, surrounded them.

The human guards were afraid, after all, the name of the Inquisition was too loud, and it was already good that they did not kneel down to greet them. However, the barbarians knew that they were invincible, but they still fearlessly rushed in front of Downton.

"If you want to hurt your master, step over our corpse first!"

The barbarian never compromises his loyalty and will defend it with death.

"The divine power of the Goddess of Light and Flame is not to be offended!"

The Knights of the Apocalypse roared in unison. Kick the ground with your right foot in unison.

Whew!Whew!

A golden aura appeared at their feet, then spread upwards, through their bodies, and finally rested a foot above their heads, condensed into a sharp sword, and then scattered into a fleof light that spilled onto their bodies and disappeared into the air.

This is the Sacred Seal of Truth, a powerful divine technique that only the Knights of the Apocalypse have the opportunity to comprehend, which can not only comprehensively increase their attack and defense, but also inflict endless radiation of truth on the souls of their enemies, leaving them in pain.

Downton has the Twin Trees of Souls, has a strong will, and has no sense of the radiation of truth at all, but the other guards cannot, feeling like his heart has been pierced by a sharp sword, his body trembling in pain, and his face is distorted.

"Look for death!"

Downton threw a right fist.

The Apocalypse Knight suffered a loss just now, he didn't dare to resist, and was ready to dodge, but he found that the opponent's fist was as fast as lightning, and without waiting for a reaction, it had already hit the front.

Bang!

The knight was knocked into the air again, and one of his companions tried to help him, but the impact was too great, and even he fell out.

Downton's two soul fruits were working at full strength, radiating the wrath of the lonely mountain, and at the same time, an arrow step, slaughtered into the group of knights, preparing them for a lesson, but at this moment, a violent soul shock swept like a tsunami.

Rumble!

The guards were all ejected, and there was no wail, for they were all stunned.

Downton's body just shook, and he gritted his teeth and punched the knight in front of him.

"Huh?"

There was a startling sound in the council hall, obviously surprised by the tenacity of Downton's soul, you must know that his magic attack, ordinary scepter steps can't stop it, even if you don't faint, you will fall into a temporary state of absence.

"Downton, you offended the presiding judge, and you didn't stop apologizing, do you want to die?"

The Doppler priest jumped out and roared at Downton.

"What are you? How dare you bark in my palace?"

Downton let go of the knight in front of him and pounced on the priest of Doppler, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man in a two-color robe in gold and red walking out, followed by the priest of Falfo, with a humble expression.

Doppler chanted the incantation quickly, and with a wave of his right hand, he grasped the condensed elemental scepter and pointed it at Downton's flying power.

A black shadow beast crawled out from under his feet, and three tentacles shot at Downton like lightning, radiating a soul blast at the same time.

Doppler came up with full fire, and he stared at Downton, his eyes were full of anger, and he couldn't help it, because this kid had disrupted all his plans.

The priest was ambitious, not content with being a bishop in a third-rate country, and he had already planned his life.

Falfo was too old, which was his disadvantage, and Andrea was not interested in the bishopric position, so Doppler devoted himself to meditation, waiting only to step into the scepter. Start moving, get the bishopric position, and then use it as a springboard to enter the diocese of a second-rate country or even one of the nine empires, so that he will be one step closer to the position of regional archbishop.

Unfortunately, it backfired. The rank of scepter was achieved, but Frankfurt was gone, and he failed to stop the war, which was fatal to Doppler's evaluation, and most importantly, Downton ascended the throne, so Andrea, who was close to him, would inevitably become an archbishop, and he could never be promoted again.

In the Holy See, the higher you go. The more difficult it is to be promoted, there are many talented priests like Doppler, in addition to being promoted, he also has to slowly improve his qualifications, but all of them are blocked by the female priestess, and he only has two choices left, one is to wait. Stay up until the female priestess is promoted and leave Frankfurt. And he succeeded to the position of archbishop, the other is to transfer, go to other third-rate countries to see if there is a chance, but that is also a horizontal transfer, and there is no need to ask, the same is the same faction. He is a lonely man who has been airborne, and it is strange that he can fight those local snakes who have been in business for many years.

In the end, Downton was only the hand of a king of a third-rate country, and it was enough for a special investigator to lead the investigation, but it was Doppler who got in the way. The Holy See sent a presiding judge with the rank of marshal.

"You're not dead this time?"

A sinister smile crossed Doppler's lips as he deliberately provoked Downton in order to leave a bad impression on the presiding judge.

This is the Generalissimo, what if Downton has a super-level demon servant? Blow him up in minutes!

"Stop!"

The presiding judge Frank Lampard frowned, with his strength, he could naturally see that Downton was very powerful, and Doppler was a killer, which would anger the other party and cause unnecessary casualties, so he said.

Too late!

With a wave of his left hand, Downton's natural praise was sown, enveloping the Knights of the Apocalypse, and the effect of the Mark of Truth on their bodies disappeared immediately.

"What? Is it a tribute to nature?"

"What are you kidding, the information says that he doesn't have a death salute?"

"The goddess is above, he has comprehended two praises? I must have read it wrong!"

The Knights of the Apocalypse are not miscellaneous fish, as soon as Downton made a move, they recognized the natural salute, and it was precisely because they knew the power of this salute that they exclaimed in surprise, looking at him with an expression of disbelief, even Lampard was amazed.

The presiding judge got more information, and naturally knew that Downton had comprehended two praises, but he didn't believe it, thinking it was a lie, after all, this kid was just a wild paladin, and before the age of sixteen, he even went to the Holy See to pray only a handful of times.

"On what basis does an atheist receive such favor?"

In just an instant, the presiding judge's senses for Downton dropped, and he felt that it was unfair, just a natural goddess darling like the Holy Maiden and Holy Lily?

Just when everyone was distracted by surprise, Downton turned on his shield, resisted the attack of Doppler and his ultra beast, successfully got close, and after blasting the shadow beast away with a punch, he slammed it into the face.

Bang!

Doppler's nose collapsed, blood flowed profusely, and the whole person spun like a spinning top, and Downton turned around and swung his leg, and his right leg was whipped in his face like a steel whip.

Bang!

Doppler instinctively turned on the shield, but Downton still burst the shield, spun and flew out, falling out like a rag dozens of meters away, until it hit the wall opposite the council hall, and then stopped.

Seeing Doppler faint directly, his body twisted irregularly, no need to ask, the bones in his body were broken in at least ten places.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear?"

Frank Lampard was furious at Downton's disobedience, and he didn't see him make any moves, just glared at random, and a sharp sword appeared above Downton's head and went straight down.

"Be careful!"

Not only Homer, but the cheap gods all reminded that this was the marshal's full blow, and if it hit, Downton would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

Swish!

Downton shattered into a black mist and condensed more than ten meters away, but unfortunately the Sword of Judgment also disappeared and reappeared.

Rumble!

The sword hit Downton, and the scattered shock wave directly compressed the ground dozens of meters around Downton's body, cracking and spreading the floor, and rubble splashed all over the place.

This is the magic of the marshal level, directly locking the soul, even if the enemy teleports is useless.

"Dead?"

Looking at the stirring smoke and dust, Falfo looked happy, he didn't think Downton could take the generalissimo's blow!

"Isn't it too heavy?"

Frank Lampard frowned, if Downton were just an ordinary king's hand, kill it. But this guy has two praises, once he is known by the Holy See, he will definitely focus on cultivating, and if he does this, he will be attacked by other factions, but in the next moment. His face was embarrassed, for although there was smoke and dust, he still felt that Downton's soul was not moving.

If you can't kill Downton with all your strength, where is the face of your generalissimo? If it is passed out, won't you laugh off your big teeth?

"Haha, Generalissimo, but that's it!"

Downton stepped out of the smoke and stared fiercely at Frank Lampard, wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand. His clothes were all rotten, his chest was still collapsed, and he had multiple abrasions and fractures.

Hiss!

This time, even the Knights of the Apocalypse were shocked, they could see that the blow of the presiding judge just now was full force, and Downton was not seriously injured, but he could still speak. It can only show that the people are strong.

"Twenty-year-old scepter steps. Just blocking this blow is enough to make him famous in the Holy See!"

The Knights of the Apocalypse looked at Downton's gaze, but they were not afraid, in addition to not being afraid of death, but also because the presiding judge next to them was the Generalissimo!

"Downton, watch your attitude!"

Falfo scolded.

"What's wrong with my attitude? Do I have to swallow my anger? Is that what the Pope taught you?"

Downton was already in a state of rage, if he hadn't had a shred of sanity and knew that he couldn't beat this guy, he would have done it a long time ago.

"Downton, you own the Legion of the Undead. Summoning demons as servants, and even commanding a team of dark rangers, I have enough reason to suspect that you have fallen, the Inquisition is responsible for clearing the clergy, if you have any grievances, go to the Inquisition with me to defend yourself!"

Frank Lampard had intended to deal with Downton locally, but when he saw this, he immediately changed his decision.

The ecstasy on Falford's face flickered, for only serious crimes would go to trial, and whatever the outcome, Downton's future was over.

"Take me away, you can try!" Downton snapped, "Fiona, Edith, come out!"

The white light flashed, and the twin angels appeared on Downton's side one left and one right, and at this time the hole cards must be revealed, otherwise the situation will not be covered.

"Angels?"

"Damn, is this guy the darling of the Goddess of Light and Flame, why does he have angels?"

"Shhhhh

When the Knights of the Apocalypse saw Downton's angels and servants with their own eyes, their eyes were red with jealousy, and they all wanted to rush up and take them away immediately.

You must know that there is an unwritten rule in the Holy See, and those who have divine attributes and are of high rank and rare are more likely to be promoted.

A demon servant like Angel, who represents the goddess of light and flame, means that after Downton accepts the loyalty test, he can directly obtain the position of archbishop.

"You're going to disobey?"

Lampard was disobedient, his face exploded with anger, with Downton's strength and demon servant, if he begged for mercy, he still planned to let him go, but this time he was determined to clean him up, otherwise where was the authority of his presiding judge? Who will be in awe in the future?

"Humph!"

Downton snorted coldly, but he was quickly calculating in his heart, a generalissimo, with his current strength, may not be easy to solve, and even if he kills, he will have a feud with the Holy See and have no place for himself.

"Damn, didn't you say that comprehending the two praises will make the Holy See value me?"

Downton complained.

"Then you have to be interesting, you don't give face to others so much, is it a cold ass in the world?"

Homer is also helpless, what kind of character is the presiding judge, he just routinely gives you a dismissal, who knows that you are so strong, even more arrogant than others.

"I don't believe that the Holy See is monolithic, there is no faction, it's a big deal that Duke Ben switched to someone else, anyway, this guy in front of me, I am offended. ”

Downton's stubborn temper also came up.

"What is this for?

Andrea, who received the news, hurried over, glared at Downton, and apologized to Lampard, "Your Excellency the Presiding Judge, he has no formal knightly education, please forgive me for any offense!"

"Hmph, this is the person you recommended, what a big temper!"

Frank Lampard snorted.

"Sorry, Downton, no apologies!"

Andrea accompanied the smiling face and pulled Downton, Chief Judge, this is also something that you can offend as a small person? Don't think that with praise, you can run rampant, there is no backstage, these big people can make you die at any time, not to mention cold treatment!

"Mentor, your low-voiced appearance has opened my eyes!"

Downton's tone was slightly sarcastic, and he was moved and angry about the maintenance of the female priestess, "You are also the heir of the Guise family!"

Andrea's face turned red instantly, her fingers trembled with anger, of course, it was more shame, she hated this kind of hypocrisy in the power field, otherwise she wouldn't have left the family, and she wouldn't have done anything serious when she went to Frankfurt.

When he heard the presiding judge arrive, he wanted to help Downton, but he didn't expect to hear such words, so the eyes of the female priestess were red, and she felt very aggrieved.

"Mentor, I understand your painstaking efforts, but let me grovel, I can't do it!" Downton hugged the female priestess and patted him on the shoulder, "I didn't bend down for life before, and I won't be in the future." ”

"But ......"

Listening to Downton's words, the heroine's beautiful eyes rippled, this kind of man hit her heart.

"No, I'm afraid that once I bend once, I won't be able to straighten my back again!" Downton laughed, then pushed the female priestess behind him and faced Lampard, "Hey, I even have twin angels, you say I'm a heretic? Isn't it an allusion that the goddess is blind? Of course, in your hearts, how can the goddess be blind, so the blind can only be you?"

"Bold!"

"Arrogance!"

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!"

The Knights of the Apocalypse rebuked Downton, but this matter could not be refuted......, in the hearts of these fanatics, the Goddess of Light and Flame would never make mistakes, so giving the Angel of Downton, wouldn't it prove that he had no problem?

PS: I've been very busy these days, and when I'm busy, I'll be sure to add more!
