80. Supreme glory
"Are you okay, Geese?" Lycia patted Gise on the back, her clothes behind her back burned with a big hole. "Are you on fire?"
Keith nodded. "It's okay, it's okay. ”
She dragged Lycia through the smoke.
"Let's go. "Keith was in a hurry.
Lycia didn't know where she had gone, only that she was surrounded by panicked people and choking smoke.
On the way to walk, I always tripped over people.
It wasn't until he reached the deck of the Lantkoth Bridge that Guise stopped.
"Right here. Guise said, pointing to the sky. "A black shard will soon fall, and only you can pick it up. ”
Lycia looked up, and the firelight lit up the bridge deck red, and as the air became hotter, the view of the surrounding scenery through the air became very distorted.
"Why me?" said Lycia's neck ached.
There was a carriage parked on the bridge, the horses had broken their ropes and fled, and several noble women had emerged from the carriage in despair.
And the civilians standing by gathered together, not paying attention to the sky, and laughed at the clumsy women as they came out of the carriage, their buns scattered.
Lycia and Gies stood in the middle of the bridge, out of place with the surrounding scenes.
"I didn't know that everyone who approached it in the scene was reduced to ashes. Keith said, as if she had come to her mind, and was far away from Lycia.
"Soon, you stand where you are and wait, catch it, don't mess with the others. Keith shouted from a distance.
Before Lycia could react, a meteor-like thing crossed the sky and crashed directly into Lycia's arms.
"What is this!" Rao was unable to catch Lycia and was taken to the ground. "It's moving. ”
Lycia desperately clung to something that she didn't know what it was, but it was hot.
Because Lycia said that it would burn others to ashes if it came into contact with them, she didn't dare to let go.
After a long, long time, everyone around saw that Lycia kept writhing like crazy because she wanted to hold on to the piece that had fallen from the sky, so everyone avoided a lot.
"I can't control it anymore. "Lycia has no strength.
But at that moment, the heavy splinter in her arms also stopped moving.
Lycia sat on the floor and gasped.
His face was already covered with black dust.
"Ahem. Lycia glanced at what had turned black in her arms.
"Is this a piece of iron ore?" Lycia picked it up, and then turned to observe, and it looked like an egg, although the surface was rugged, but the whole was oval.
Lycia was sitting on the ground, thinking about why she had taken a large stone with her bare hands.
Rain fell from the sky, and a golden light rose from the place where the academy was located.
The flames slowly extinguished, and people looked at a figure rising from the top of the mountain.
Especially those who are close to the heraldic academy will not forget this scene in this life.
====
"Ahem, quiet, quiet everybody!" said an inquisitor in a tuxedo uniform, white socks on his calves, and green satin shoes on his feet, his lips pursed hard, and two lumps of flesh squeezing out of his cheeks.
The experience of being buried in the earth three days ago made Lycia do become suspicious, but in the end she decided not to worry about the danger before it came.
Today's inquisitors come from the upstream city of Senna, which was much larger than Sufaro, and whose lord was also the administrator of Sufaro.
So this time the judge was sent from Senna.
Lycia was puzzled by the institutional setup of the Thorn Empire, which had a well-established legal department, although she didn't know the specific system, but it was definitely relatively sound.
But at the same time, the Church also has the power to judge, and in the judgment involving the power of heraldry, the judgment of the Church is decisive.
And now, when Dimitrius and the others had discussed how to deal with the bishop from Senna, a small inquisitor came.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm going to read out the verdict now that the Hanar family concealed the identity of their eldest son, Pierrot Boar Man. ”
"I'm sorry, sir!" Troy raised his hand in confusion. "What about the trial?"
Lycia, along with Troy and Dimitrius, all sat in a place similar to the plaintiff's seat.
The inquisitor did not dare to look at Troy, he was a nobleman without a title, and this was the first time he had seen the Duke in his life, and of course the first time he had seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He closed his eyes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Oh yes, you're very right, in general, we do need the trial process, but, um, but, because Mr. Pierrot's whereabouts are unknown at the moment, so. ”
Lycia couldn't take it anymore. "Alright, let's start reading the verdict first. ”
Troy nodded as well. "Yes, if it's not right, we'll correct you. ”
The boring reading process finally came to an end after a fly flew into the dusty hall and was then hacked to death by Buchton's sword.
"So, it's just exile?" Lycia thought of her brother Keith, who had just escaped the imminent unjust trial and was relegated to civilianism.
"Did he bring in 17 soldiers, 32 families of civilians who were killed, and 80 civilians killed or seriously wounded, just exile?
"Well, it's just a commoner, Miss Lycia, and this disaster has not killed a single nobleman. The Inquisitor smiled awkwardly and confusedly.
"Nobles can't just kill civilians!"
However, everyone present, except for the servants, were all nobles, and no one could empathize with Lycia.
In the eyes of the aristocracy, commoners are not very human.
"It's not clear who destroyed the guardian circle of the city gates, Mr. Inquisitor, I have submitted several applications to Senna's Ministry of Justice, have you sent anyone to investigate, or have you been working on a boring document with an unsatisfactory outcome for the past three days. Dimitorius stopped Lycia from arguing.
"!" Lycia sat down, feeling very aggrieved, and she hadn't finished yet.
Troy leaned over, over Dimitri's back, and into Lycia's ear. "Don't rush into a fight, our business is to force the church to come out and claim it. ”
Lycia also admits that this is the main thing now. "Okay. She sighed.
"These things you said will not be changed for a while, of course, after this matter is over, I am very happy to help you with questions about the rights and interests of civilians. Troy smiled softly at Lycia.
I have to admit that the Duke of Troy has a very experienced experience in getting along with women.
Lycia straightened her hair, a few strands of hair brushing past Dimitri, who was standing with her hands behind her back, and he suddenly paused as he was making the Inquisitor speechless.
"If the lord of Seine City can't even find out about this kind of trivial matter, then I will truthfully report it to the Imperial Security Affairs Department if there is a serious mistake in the management of Seine City and Sufaro's defense array. ”
Most of the people seated, except for the students of the Thorn Academy, were local nobles from Sufaro.
The fall of the city lord made them all ready to move.
It's as if whoever has a straighter back can take over the position of the city lord.
"Also, the lord of Sufaro should be replaced, and it is a felony to hide the boar people. Dimitoli nodded to a young man in the audience. "As for the candidates, I would recommend Bob Gaffey's eldest son. ”
Leon Gaffy stood up and saluted Dimitoli.
"Bob is a good fighter who gave his precious life in the face of danger. People with such noble sentiments must raise children who are also excellent. After Dimitorius finished speaking, he stepped out of the plaintiff's seat.
The inquisitor took notes while wiping his sweat.

"The ring that Lycia gave me is indeed an item of the royal family, and it was found yesterday that it was a tribute from the Barbalizi region, and the owner is His Majesty the Emperor. Dimitri said.
Lycia is Zamabu, an excellent heraldic ability, and her physical fitness must be the best.
"So maybe this is really something that His Majesty left for the bastard?" Lycia's legs were trembling, after becoming a heraldic ability, her explosive power was enough, but her stamina was not enough, and she only stood for twenty minutes, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
Dimitri kicked a round stool next to Lycia's leg. "There's no need to rush, you won't be in the academy in less than three months. ”
"Why is the church looking for this ring?" said Lycia, not looking at the stool, distracting herself from her thoughts.
Dimitri looked at the ring in his right hand, then shook his head.
She also lasted half an hour yesterday, and she needs to hold on for at least forty minutes today.
"The letter to His Majesty, he has not approved what to do with Lennir to this day, and the church must know that Lennir is not the illegitimate child they are looking for. Lycia exhaled, her little face flushed.
"So, then, they must be trying to deal with you now, ha, that's right!" Lycia straightened up suddenly. "Now it's all over the place singing songs that the church wants to kill you. ”
Lycia continued with a frown. "If I were the church, I would do what you did, and make miracles and tell everyone that you are the dying man, and that the child of destiny is someone else. ”
"They're very good at miracles, so the next thing is to find the bastard of the true Dragon Crest. Lycia met Dimitrius' eyes.
"Miss Lycia, me. Posetti's black face was flushed, and his hands holding the fork were stiff.
"What's wrong. Lycia ate a piece of mutton, and I must say that the dinner ordered by Poser was very satisfying to her appetite.
Posetti took a deep breath and was about to speak.
Suddenly, a domestic servant broke in from outside, dressed in the Campbell family's clothing.
"Mademoiselle, you are here!" it was Marianne, her eyes flushed and her cheeks flushed. "Madame has died. ”
"Is the carriage under the school?" Lycia staggered to her feet, and followed Marianne out of the cafeteria with her empty head and into the carriage again.
Posetti followed out in a hurry, but was stopped by Genhe, who was standing at the door. "Don't go, she's not going to welcome anyone right now. ”
Lycia returned home, and her eyes were cold white.
Elder sister Ash sat next to her mother's corpse, her eyes blank, her arms resting on the white cloth, still shaking.
Lycia struggled to move to the side. "What's going on? ”
She repeated it several times.
Marianne hesitated for a moment, then walked briskly again. "The Duke said it was a heart attack, miss. The clever servant crouched down and took a clean white handkerchief to wipe Lycia's tears.
"The Duke was expelled from public office, the young master was removed from the family, I don't know whether I live or die, Madame, she was sad and angry for a while... ”
Lycia doesn't remember her mother having a heart condition.
"No, no, no!" Ash suddenly began to shout hoarsely. "Mother, she doesn't have a heart disease!
"Yes ... Her voice sounded like someone had choked her neck. "Yes ... Eventually, Ash Campbell rolled his eyes and fainted.
Lycia didn't know what she called the doctor, or where their father was at this time.
"Sister, mother, she doesn't have a heart attack, right? Did her mother be killed?" After the doctor left, Lycia broke into her sister Ash's room.
"No, I don't know. Ash kept shaking his head.
The four-poster bed creaked.
Lycia stepped closer and gestured to the circle in front of her bed.
"See, this is a first-aid magic circle, no nobleman will die of a sudden illness at home, no!" she felt that her mother's death was strange.
Ash, who was usually arrogant and mean, couldn't spit a word out of her mouth, she leaned against the pillow and closed her eyes.
"Lycia, come out. The Duke walked out of the study at some point, and stood at the door of his eldest daughter's room, with sadness and another emotion that Lycia could not read.
"Father, Mother can't have had some heart attack, absolutely impossible!" Lycia ran to the door, muttering loudly at her father.
It was as if she had been obsessed with the cause of her mother's death and could divert her full attention.
"Shut up, Lycia, don't you feel sad at all. You want to have your mother's holy body examined so that she can't go into peace. And then, the Campbell family's reputation has been discredited, what do you want?" the Duke's forehead and wolf head pattern appeared.
"Lycia, she will definitely be an old widow in the future, what's the use of inheriting the family property, and what about being known as the pearl of the empire. Karina was speaking to Lin Xi, she was a low-class nobleman. "Duke Campbell, who would dare to marry her under the nose of His Majesty the Emperor, and then let their family give birth to an heir and continue to inherit the title?"
