The spire of the Cathedral of Light rises high, and the golden grand church glistens in the sun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Two cross-star stakes symbolizing the punishment of light were pushed to the center of the clearing, and the atmosphere of judgment was pushed to the peak at once.

Donner had already seen Jury Brown in the crowd who took the picture of "A Midsummer Night Starry Night". When Eli made the move to give up his defense, the middle-aged man, who always looked unusually calm, had already changed his face greatly, and when he saw the burner being pushed up, his brows were even more furrowed and almost knotted.

Not only him, but no one expected that Ellie Brown would directly give up the right to defend himself.

Especially after Marquez has said so much, he is doing it again, which is tantamount to acquiescing in all of Márquez's accusations.

It was precisely for this reason that when the first witness stood in front of the crowd, the young man from the Spring Sacred Courtyard also looked extremely flustered.

"Clarov, where are you on a midsummer night?" a priest asked slowly, standing in front of the young man.

"I ...... I'm ...... in the Holy City."

"Have you seen the whole story of the blasphemy?"

"Look, I see ......"

"Do you have anything to say about the two prisoners' arguments?" asked the priest in a deep voice.

"I think, I think, that what he said doesn't seem right......" Krarov replied timidly.

"What's wrong?"

"Eri...... Avery didn't know anyone from their Cormir family at all...... "Krarov explained.

The priest frowned slightly: "Didn't you hear Marquez Cormir's testimony? They deliberately pretended not to know. ”

Krarov glanced at where his family was, "This ...... I don't know......"

Julie Brown's face became more grim.

"Do you have anything else to add about the blasphemy?" the priest continued.

“...... It was the Cormier family who did it first. ”

Shen Mu nodded slightly: "What else?"

"Márquez killed two people......"

"I think everyone already knows that. Miko said in a deep voice.

"That'...... That's gone......" Krarov occasionally glanced at the crowd, his expression quite embarrassed. Obviously, Ellie Brown's previous performance made it impossible for him to say what he had been told in advance.

Then several of the participants in the Midsummer Eve event were called to the priest.

Their testimonies were invariably biased in favor of Ellie Brown, but without exception they were unconvincing.

If the trial ends here, not only will Ellie Brown be doomed, but even the Brown family will probably be in great trouble.

Of course, all of this, from Ellie's strange abandonment of his defense to the priest's partiality, intentionally or unintentionally, when he questioned the witnesses, was orchestrated by Donner.

Only in this way can he get greater benefits from the Brown family.

Well, he's planning more than that.

At this time, all the witnesses who had been ranked before him had been summoned one after another, and it was finally his turn.

And Jury Brown looked at him at this time, with obvious begging meaning.

John Smith ...... Where are you on a midsummer night?"

"I was in the Holy City and witnessed blasphemy. Donner replied.

"Do you have anything to add to the two prisoners' arguments?" asked the priest.

"Márquez is lying. Downer's answer was more straightforward than any previous witness's testimony.

"Where did he lie?" said the priest's voice, which suddenly became stern.

"All his defenses are lies," Downer said slowly, "Avery Brown doesn't know him at all." ”

Before he could finish speaking, the sparse sound of communication had already sounded in the crowd, and Jury Brown closed his eyes slightly, as if he was glad to have escaped.

"What evidence do you have for that?" asked the priest.

"First of all, Avery has taken a fancy to my maid, and everyone present has seen it, and secondly, if they had known each other beforehand, they would not have suddenly started to act without saying a word, and besides, the people of the Cormier family are insane, and none of Márquez's words are credible. Donner replied.

"The first reason you mentioned, Márquez has already said, is that they deliberately arranged it this way, and as for the other two reasons, it doesn't seem to be tenable. The priest didn't seem satisfied with Donner's answer.

Donna glanced at Shen Mu coldly, and asked lightly, "Are you at the scene?"

There was an exclamation from the crowd of onlookers, and no one thought that this John Smith would dare to speak to the priest in such a tone.

"What do you mean?" the priest's voice suddenly cooled.

"I'm the closest person to the place of the incident, and if you don't think my testimony is valuable, what's the point of this trial?" Donner's tone was equally aggressive.

The priest was caught off guard by his question, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

And Miko, who had been standing on a high place, suddenly walked towards Donna.

"John Smith, are you questioning the fairness of this trial?" said the Son of God's voice, unable to hear emotion.

"No...... I always felt that this would be a fair trial. Donner looked directly at Miko and replied loudly.

"I can't see pious ...... in your eyes," Miko also looked at Donner.

At this time, everyone was sweating for this young master John Smith, and even Julie Brown didn't know why he was so uncalm.

Only Downer knows that he has been acting, and acting to this extent is enough.

So, he raised his hand and stroked his chest: "My piety is here." ”

Shenzi's face gradually became gloomy: "Okay, since you are religious, then let me ask you again, what do you have to add to Marquez's defense?"

"Everything he says is a lie. Donner replied directly, without any hesitation.

"Good ......" Miko nodded slightly, glanced at Donner meaningfully, and then turned and walked to the judgment seat.

"This is the end of the trial, the facts are clear, Marquez Cormier is convicted of blasphemy, and all members of the Cormier family will be burned at the stake......! Not guilty!"

In the crowd, Juli Brown unconsciously weakened his legs and almost couldn't stand steadily, if it weren't for John Smith's testimony, their Brown family would probably have ended up like the Cormier family.

A few minutes later, Marquez was burned at the stake in full view of everyone, and until he died, he couldn't figure out why John Smith was helping Ellie Brown.

And Ellie Brown, who walked around the gallows, was picked up by the crowd of the Spring Sacred Courtyard.

It wasn't until Márquez was burned alive that the crowd dispersed.

That night, Donner received two messages.

The first one came from the Brown family, and the message was simple and had one word: "Friendship!"

The other came from the Church: to strip John Smith of the title of winner of the Demon Hunt Examination, and posthumously recognize the late Haimsha of the Earth Sacred Courtyard as the winner of the Demon Hunt.

The latter article soon spread throughout St. Petersburg, and those who learned the news certainly knew the reason - John Smith had offended the Holy See of Light at today's trial.

In a room in the Holy City, Cross faced a white-robed mage.

"So, this genius has been abandoned by the Holy See?"

"Yes, my lord......" Cross nodded, "Now, the only thing to worry about is that the Lega family killed his father, and I don't know if he will hold a grudge." ”

The white-robed mage smiled slightly: "His father, who said that Don Stantin is his father?"

Facing Cross's puzzled expression, the white-robed mage waved his hand lightly and said, "It's hard to say what the relationship between him and Konstantin is...... However, since he is not on the side of the Holy See, he is not our enemy. ”

"Would you like to see him before you go back?" asked Cross.

"He's not steady enough...... white-robed mage shook his head, "Moreover, with the abilities he has shown now, it's too early to discuss this. ”

"Hmm......" Cross nodded. (To be continued.) )
