Chapter 9: The Spiral of the Devil

β€œ......。 That's Charlotte Edellize, and Levitt Edel is my father......"

The girl bit her lip and said shyly. The arms around him clutched a rather thick envelope. The truth behind Levitt's decade-long investigation is accumulating. All the unseen secrets of the sinister aristocracy are clearly laid out on paper.

"Father, ask me to give this to you, and he says you'll understand!" Charlotte said, taking a deep breath and looking up.

β€•β€•β€œ...... Please, save your father......"

Vain tears welled up. The girl said in a pleading tone, leaning down deeply.

β€œ......”

The silver-haired girl on the side remained silent, taking everything in her eyes.

Under the crimson mansion in front of him, a richly dressed man was standing in front of the door, and the luxurious and luxurious palace behind him was shining with golden light, which looked particularly dazzling in the dark and rainy night.

- "Oh, Mr. Levitt's daughter, what a faux pas. ”

The man spoke slowly and bowed to Charlotte.

"--So, this is the ...... over here?" The man turned his crimson eyes and looked quietly at the silent silver-haired girl beside him.

β€œ............”

The silver-haired girl's eyes were even sharper.

"She's Xia Lei, my sister!" Charlotte quickly explained.

- "Ah, that's so charming, two. The man's smile grew louder.

"I also feel sorry and angry when I hear about Lord Levitt, after all, everyone can see what he is, right?" said the man leisurely.

- "I see, I will save your father perfectly"

The man has a charismatic smile that no one can resist.

- "Thank you!"

Charlotte's eyes lit up with hope again. After solemnly thanking him, he walked with Xia Lei on the streets of the upper district.

The rose in the corner of the wall was hanging with water droplets, and the blue light of the magic crystal was reflected on it.

-- What a beautiful sight.

Behind the window of the second floor of the tall Western-style Mansion, the man secretly looked at the backs of the two girls in the distance, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with a pure smile.

"Tomorrow, I'll see my father again!" Charlotte said excitedly, in a trembling tone.

β€œ...... Cough...... Hmm......" The silver-haired girl replied softly, her emerald green eyes clouded with a veil of fog.

"Ahβ€”the trial of the heretic, Levitt Edel, begins. ”

In the square in front of the Cathedral of Lingdu, a wooden platform was erected. An old man dressed in white said leisurely.

The audience was filled with thousands of people from all walks of life, giggling and talking.

- "Hey, get out of here!" the guard's voice rang out

Rows of gorgeously decorated carriages stopped in front of the high platform, and a few fat rich men slowly walked down from the carriages. The delicate coat is studded with jewels of various colors and sparkles in the sun.

-- It's like a beautiful vase.

One of them, a bald-headed rich man, looked at the raged crowd in front of him. With a disdainful smile, he grabbed a handful of gold coins from the stopper beside him and threw them into the sky with a wave of his hand.

The sound of metal falling to the ground irritates people's eardrums. Immediately a rush broke out.

The rich look at this scene with an elusive condescending smile on their faces. Slowly lead from the road where the crowd has dispersed to the high platform.

Everything that happened was watched by the man named Levitt. The anger in my heart is accumulating. He clenched his fists tightly.

On the right side of the square, Charlotte and Xia Lei were standing aside, looking at the man tied to the pillar on the stage through a few out-of-control scenes.

"Quiet!"

An angry rebuke from the white cardinal on the high platform was heard, and the crowd slowly stopped the commotion.

- "Levitt Edel, who despised the dignity of the Lord God, preached cult theories, and maliciously vilified and distorted the holy scriptures. Is it true?"

"No objection, Mr. Bishop," said the former bald rich man in a soft voice. Immediately, several rich people after said the same.

"Do you have anything to say, Mr. Levitt?" the bishop asked.

"- I do not admit that I am a heretic. Levitt's firm tone came.

"Oh......" The old man became a little interested.

"-My lord, please take a look at this. ”

The bald rich man moved his fat body and handed over a piece of gold-rimmed paper with both hands.

β€œ......。 ”

The bishop's eyes dilated in amazement, and then quickly returned to normal.

"Mr. Levitt, all the nobles of the capital, have signed and confessed to your crimes. The bishop held the piece of paper and dangled it in front of Levitt's eyes.

- "As expected, there must not be Thrandil's name on it. Levitt said slowly. The blue eyes were as hot as fire.

When the bishop heard this, he immediately searched for it on the paper with wide eyes. The loose facial skin is huddled together by the contraction of the muscles.

β€œ............ Not really. The bishop nodded in agreement.

- "In his hand, he has the truth of everything that I have carefully arranged!" Levitt's unequivocal tone echoed through the square.

β€œ............ Miscellaneous...... Why!!" The faces of several wealthy people in the audience fell rapidly.

The sunlight shines through the fluorescent stone at the top of the church, scattering into a colorful light.

"Is that so, Thrandil?" the bishop asked, turning to the man who had been on the right side of the platform.

- Father, father will soon be free!

Charlotte prayed silently in her heart, pinning all her hopes on her father's best friend, the man.

- Just, just take out that envelope.

In the sunlight, the man closed his eyes and spoke slowly.

- "No, I don't know what Lord Levittus is talking about. ”

The man slowly opened his eyes, revealing eyes as red as blood, and met Levitt's surprised and shocked gaze.

"Hmm......" the bishop turned slowly.

"Do you have anything else to say, Levitt?"

β€œ............!”

Levitt's pupils dilated rapidly with shock and anger.

- "So, according to the Holy Seal, in the name of God." ”

The old man in white said slowly on the stage.

- "Sentence you to be burned at the stake." ”

Thranduil walked gently past Levitt.

- "I'm sorry. Said in Levitt's ear.

"Damn....... ”

Levitt clenched his fists tightly.

- "Are you willing to succumb to unequal oppression and bondage, you of the lower classes of the capital?"

Levitt shouted angrily.

Magnetic, powerful voices echoed across the square, piercing through the thick barriers of the crowd.

- "Are you really indifferent to being treated like a beast by being treated like a beast all the time?!"

The poor people who were grabbing the gold coins raised their heads one after another. Set a strange gaze on the man on stage.

The few rich people from before were below, looking at the figure in shock.

Thranduil smiled strangely in the distance.

Flames erupted beneath his feet, and Levitt's angry voice grew louder and louder.

The people in the audience suddenly recalled the past. Silently shed tears.

Ah, this person is the Levitt who used to give out the benefits..................

-- Countless birds hovering and chirping over the church.

- "The light cannot be brought by oneself, in that case, with one's own life!"

Levitt shouted hoarsely.

- "Let's offer the first blood!"
