The oracle raised his scepter, and his voice echoed in the tower of the judges, solemn and cold:

"John, Acolyte, how do you prove that you are facing the devil? For more than 10,000 years, there has been no historical record of a large-scale devil invasion in the Sunset Empire. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

John's golden eyes widened as if to express his anger—and then his face suddenly cooled down again, revealing an expression that resembled a sneer.

"I felt the power of the gods—the divine saw the red orbs lurking in the sky, and the Dark Warlock claimed to be the messenger of the devil. ”

"If the Holy Army does not go to Paliva, then the Sunset Empire will fall. The devil's invasion is only the beginning - when the power of the Templars begins to waver, you dereliction of duty will be punished by the god Osiris. ”

St. John the Priest, under the icon, angrily accuses the people of turning a blind eye to the "traitors" and the devil.

"You, John Fisher, are the ones who are derelict in your duties, and you don't have to make excuses for your crimes. Your actions have insulted the Sanctuary. The Inquisition only needed a hundred mages and Imperial troops to re-establish the majesty of the Sanctuary in Paliva, when the powers of the Priesthood and the Inquisition had to be redivided. ”

Yuri the Faceless does not speak any nonsense about serving the gods, and directly asks the divine envoy to judge the Holy Priest John in an attempt to gain greater earthly power.

Andrei raised his scepter and faced the idol of Osiris. He looked down at the people at the round table and said without the slightest emotion: "In order to protect the borders of the kingdom and the people of God from suffering, then we may consider the advice of John, the Servant of God." ”

"Gods-acolytes Tixiang and Constantine, you should fulfill your duty and send the Sanctuary forces of White Forest City and Silver Eagle City to support Paliva. ”

The words of the oracle were full of majesty, but the holy priest of the White Forest Silver Eagle was very dissatisfied:

"We believe that Lord Fisher has sufficient strength to resolve the issue at hand - and if he vetoes, consider having Yuri, the head of the Inquisition, take over the reins. ”

The ruling touched interest groups in both cities at the same time, who were reluctant to even participate in the trial meeting - the Paliwa mess had nothing to do with them, and they were angry at their unprovoked involvement in the war.

The god made Andrei aware of the dispute, believing that the Holy Priest was only resentful of the loss of the Paliwa Sanctuary and asked the Sanctuary to send an army to satisfy his desire for revenge. At this time, neither the ruling could be tarnished with blasphemy, nor could the interests of the Sanctuary be harmed, so forcing the two cities to raise objections was the best way to do so.

Faced with the doubts of Tika and Constantine, the god made Andrei give a gentler approach:

"You can negotiate your own forces - or choose to have the Imperial army clear the invaders and pacify the south - and the new king needs to show his determination to serve the true God and live up to the crown bestowed by the true God. ”

"The Priesthood didn't destroy the Dark Warlocks, so the Imperial army only increased the ...... of the Revenants," St. Priest John protested loudly, the high-pitched children's voices echoing at the spire.

At this moment, the bronze door of the Judge's Tower was opened, and a pale-faced mage broke in - he forcibly broke through the "keyhole" of the magic circle, and his already weak body suffered a lot of damage, and the powerful spiritual power of Holy Priest John caused him to spit a mouthful of blood on the stone face!

He held a severed arm in his hand, the surface of which was covered with blue spider web-like veins, the cut turned a black mass, and the skin was gray from the flow of blood, and there were deep scars on it from the Holy Light Curse, which looked like a cracked birch.

And on the palm of the severed arm, there is a rudimentary, distorted pattern, composed of triangles and circles, exactly like the circle that Odin used to attract the Nightmare to deal with the Holy Priest John that day!

"Ross, the Attendant, fought the Dark Warlock in Paliva and cut off one of his arms. Archmage Ross stood unsteadily, staggering and falling to the stone face, and the severed arm in his hand rolled a few steps and came to a halt at the feet of Yuri the Faceless.

The Holy Priest stared at the severed arm, the golden light on his face trembled violently, and Tong Yin trembled: "This is the dark warlock's magic circle......"

Immediately, as if remembering something, he immediately fell silent, but it was too late, and Yuri's face shrank into a ball of anger, and the bronze mask almost fell off.

"He used strange spells, chanted incantations, and I believed in the power of the true gods, and fought hard - and finally severed his arm with the Holy Light Charm, and was seriously injured by him before the black-robed man took the opportunity to escape......"

Archmage Ross gasped, still recounting the fictional facts in their entirety.

"Holy Light Spell?—that's just an intermediate spell. Holy Priest Tishan let out a contemptuous laugh, "Does John Fisher need the Holy Army to besiege a heretic whose arm has been severed by the Holy Light Curse?"

Yuri picked up the severed arm, the mask engraved with the cross shook for a moment, sniffed the smell of blood - he tried his best to suppress his anger, turned to the god envoy Andre, and said in a deep voice: "The smell is the smell of the black-robed warlock that day, we met him." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Faceless Inquisitor remembered the day he met the Dark Warlock—the black-robed man's hands were intact!

He remained silent, and it was in the best interest of the current situation not to question it. Apparently Archmage Ross is putting his erstwhile leader in a difficult position. He felt that the pious servant of God who had no quarrel with the world in the past was a little unpredictable.

At this time, the halo on the face of Holy Priest John trembled violently, and his golden eyes seemed to be ready to erupt at any moment: "Get out......! You desecrate the Sanctuary, a criminal who disrupts the trial, a traitor, get out!"

John Fisher raised his scepter, and a rune array appeared beside the weakened Rose, trying to trap him in a "holy" circle - which could kill him at any moment!

The god made Andre raise his hand, and the circle of "holiness" drifted through the air, and the Holy Priest John, who had not had time to gather his spiritual power, was knocked to the stone wall by the impact, and the light around him dimmed, revealing a childlike white, but wrinkled face.

John struggled to get up and tried to plead his case with Andrew, but was stopped.

Andre walked up to Archmage Rose and said in a stern voice, "Do you know the punishment for telling a lie before the true God?"

Rose's face turned pale, but he replied with great firmness: "Bound to the pillar of truth, the nails of iron are driven into the limbs and internal organs until the blood runs dry." ”

Then, you must state the following facts. The oracle looked directly at him, and the echoing voice was terrifying.

"When did you meet a dark warlock?"

"I settled the homeless refugees and met them in the ruins of the city of Paliva - he threatened that the Inquisition had been evacuated and that I would no longer shelter these poor people. With no help on all sides, I had to fight him. ”

The archmage's voice was weak, but he didn't hesitate. He had long known from Odin's carrier pigeons about the aftermath of the chaos, and therefore of the confrontation with the Faceless Inquisition.

It would have been considered hypocritical for other high-ranking servants to say this, but Ross was a universally recognized devout believer, who never coveted worldly gain, and was known for his naïve ideas for the benefit of all beings, so these words came out of his mouth with a little more credibility - after all, it is difficult for a person without interests to lie.

"Was the so-called Dark Warlock, or the Betrayal, injured?" A pair of golden brown eyes glowed with a terrifying light on the Divine Envoy's blurred face.

At this point, Yuri's iron-gloved hand clenched - if Rose had told the truth against the Inquisition, then they would have to bear the same responsibility as Holy Priest John - then he would have to fight back with the fact that he had seen the dark sorcerer's hands intact that day, though it might not have been effective.

"He looked like he was badly wounded—it looked like a sword wound, not a spell burn, and that's why I got away with it. ”

Archmage Ross made a statement that was clearly inclined to the Inquisition, but to the extreme disadvantage of St. John the Priest. John's skin folded all over his body, like a baby crawling with difficulty, his golden eyes wide open, crawling towards the archmage, however, under the power of the oracle, he slammed into the stone wall again.

"Why didn't you chase him before?" the voice of the oracle increased significantly, and the entire referee tower trembled under the resonance of the sound.

"For I judged that I could not defeat the enemy who defeated the Holy Priest, and I could only make up for my mistakes as best I could—in fact, when faced with a black-robed warlock, I believed that I would not be able to set foot in the Sanctuary alive. ”

The faithful friar, who seldom used fiery words, stirred up the Holy Priest John into an unforgivable position and strengthened the Divine Command's determination not to send troops.

Andrei turned to Yuri the Faceless again: "Why didn't you chase him before?"

"The Dark Warlock argues that the Priesthood cannot defeat him, and I don't think the Inquisitors have to make a needless sacrifice. But in the presence of this god-servant who is willing to sacrifice his life, I am willing to take the blame and lead the Imperial army to retake Paliva. ”

Yuri replied in a deep voice.

God made Andre hold his scepter high, and the voice of anger made the whole spire tremble: "The eternal order exercises the judgment power of the holy Osiris and reveals justice to the world." The condemned sinner, John Fisher, blasphemed the priestly office of the Holy Priesthood, deceived the true God, stripped him of his priesthood, and bound to the pillar of truth. ”

Under the restraint of the divine scepter, John's pale body collapsed, struggling and wriggling like a broken chrysalis caterpillar, and the holy priests and judges present could not help but feel chills in their hearts.

André then proceeded to pronounce the sentence: "Paliva is unforgivable, and the 'traitors' will be burned at the stake. The royal family sent an army, Bailin City, and Silver Eagle City each sent fifteen acolytes to obey the Paliwa Inquisition and remove the dirt from the territory of the Empire!"

The voice of the oracle fell, the bell rang, and the sunset sun shone into the Inquisition's Tower, and the entire hall of the Inquisition burned like a golden flame.

The oracles and priests left their tables, and John Fisher was dragged away by two acolytes, while Archmage Rose remained half-kneeling, his body weak and making it difficult for him to breathe.

"What is your purpose?" Yuri the Faceless pretended to pick him up, threatening him in a deep voice, "You'd better tell the truth, or else, I could have chained you up and accused you of treason after the war began—after all, that's the Larson tradition." ”

Rose's lips were chapped and his eyes were white, but he gave Yuri a sinister smile: "Lead the Paliva Priesthood, the newly appointed Holy Priest is willing to share a piece of the pie with the Judge." ”

Yuri was a little stunned, and his hand holding the archmage almost let go, and Rose almost fell to the ground. This sophisticated and sophisticated performance is similar to that of the believer who was surrounded by the Holy Light in the past.

"Why?" the Judge's expression would have been a mixture of surprise and sarcasm - after all, there was no one more devout in the Empire's priesthood than Archmage Rose.

"Being in a low position cannot save the world. Ross gave a non-ambiguous answer.

Then, rejecting the Sanctuary's treatment, the archmage rode down the mountain on a gray horse and braved the wind and snow, saying that he would return to Paliva - he could not bear the guilt of the suffering people there.

When the horses reached the foot of the mountain, a carrier pigeon flew down on his shoulder, and Rose unfolded the paper scroll on his feet, tied another roll, and the carrier pigeon attached a hidden spell and made it through the jungle.
