Chapter 44: The Pillar of Truth Given by the Gods

Maier was brought to the hall by the guards, and the envoy from the Marquis de Condi's palace seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Maier's arrival, he smiled meaningfully. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The envoy probably felt that the overall situation had been decided, and it was impossible for the Byzantine Duchy to protect a mere teenager in the face of the Marquis of Condi and the Duchy of Orleans.

In other words, my mission this time is sure to be successfully completed.

As for whether the young man in front of him was really guilty, the envoy didn't care, he only knew that he would receive a lot of praise after completing this mission.

"After the comprehensive agreement of the Ministry of Justice, there are doubts in this case, so both parties need to go to the temple for adjudication. ”

The envoy's smile froze on his face, didn't the people from the Ministry of Justice already say what was going on? Didn't they say that they would let themselves take people away today?

What is it like to go to the temple for a verdict?

Could it be that the money you gave away was all in vain?

Or are these people not greedy enough?

"I'm against it. ”

The envoy looked at the official in front of him with a gloomy face, last night, his biggest expenditure was on this official, and the envoy wanted to hear an explanation.

"Isn't the evidence I gave enough to prove that this guy is a murderer? Are you questioning the evidence provided by our principality? You are undermining the relationship between the two countries. ”

The official glanced at the envoy and said with a blank face: "The evidence you provide cannot prove that Mail Green is a murderer, so in order to make the facts clear, we specially invited the cardinal to do the Truth Test. ”

"Don't you believe in the gods?"

The envoy choked suddenly, he stared at the official hatefully, snorted coldly, and said secretly in his heart: If you are placed in your own country, a small official like you dare to say such things to the envoy, the envoy will directly rush up and beat you.

After receiving the money, not doing anything, and daring to find trouble, it is simply looking for death!

But at this moment, being in a neighboring country, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, so they should swallow this breath first, the task is important, as for going to the temple to confront them, they will confront them.

According to the evidence, this son, who was not favored by the marquis, did indeed commit a crime, and under the mantra, he was even more able to prove his crime.

When the time comes, I will still be able to take this guy away.

With this in mind, the messenger nodded.

A small group of guards led the two of them and the officials to a side hall of the Wangcheng Temple, the hall was empty, and only a red-robed old man stood in the middle of the hall.

A stone pillar stands upright, emitting holy light.

The old man glanced at everyone, and then said: "Inevitably, the envoys of neighboring countries feel that our country is partial, so I will not use the mantra technique this time, and the truth and falsehood will be judged by this mantra pillar." ”

"Just this stone?" the messenger was a little incredulous.

"Presumptuous!" The official suddenly glared at the envoy fiercely, and said, "This is a divine pillar given by the gods themselves, and no matter what kind of lie it is, there is nothing to hide. ”

"As long as someone says panic, the stone pillar will change color, and it will never fail, you dare to doubt the divine pillar given by God!"

But the messenger still did not believe: "I want to try." ”

"You!" the official furious.

The old man in red glanced at the messenger lightly and said, "Let him try." ”

The envoy glanced at the official with a slight triumph, and then walked to the stone pillar, and saw that the stone pillar turned red for a while, and then turned white, switching back and forth.

"Okay, that's it, I believe it. ”

The old man in red nodded, and then said: "Since this is the case, then the two of you will start to confront each other, and the Q&A between the two sides should be slow, don't say that you didn't see it clearly afterwards." ”

The messenger began to ask questions.

"Mel Green, did you leave the Marquis's Court in the middle of the night three years ago, on the eve of the First Rising Sun?"

Maier thought for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

On the eve of the First Rising Days, Mel did go out at midnight, because someone had sent a letter saying that there was a message from Myer's long-missing mother, asking him to meet him at midnight.

But when Maier went, he didn't find the man, so he returned disappointed.

The messenger's face was pale.

"Mel Green, on the way back to the Marquis' Court, did you see a drunkard? ”

Maier continued to recall that he did see a figure on the way back that night, but he did not know the man, let alone the name of the man.

"I did meet a man, but I didn't know him, let alone his life. ”

The messenger was more determined.

"Mel Green, did you go out with a dagger that night?"

Mel nodded, meeting with someone he didn't know, so naturally he had to bring some self-defense equipment.

Mel did not lie about these three questions, so the color of the pillar remained unchanged, it was always white, and a faint light swirled around the pillar.

The envoy glanced at the official, the smugness on his face, and said: "I don't have any problems, these three questions and the evidence match one by one, which is enough to prove that Mel Green is the murderer of Count Hemoth's daughter." ”

"Alright, now that the confrontation is over, let me bring the murderer back to the Duchy of Orleans to stand trial. ”

The old man in red was expressionless.

The officials were unwilling.

"Wait. Mel looked at the smug messenger and said, "I did go out that night with a weapon, but I don't think it had anything to do with my murder?"

"Why didn't you close it? It was you who killed the daughter of Count Hemoth with a dagger because of love and hatred, and Billy Komodo is the human witness, and the dagger is the physical evidence. ”

"The human and material evidence is complete, do you still want to deny it?"

Maier shook his head and said, "I won't deny what I've done, I didn't do it, and I won't admit it, I don't know how many means you used to make those false evidence valid." ”

"Since there's a mantra pillar here, let's make it simple. ”

After saying this, Mel stepped forward to the Pillar of Truth and said in a loud voice, "I, Mel Green, swear to the gods that I have never killed the daughter of Count Hemoth. ”

The color of the mantra column remains unchanged.

"As you can see, the color of the Truth Pillar has not changed, I am not lying, I am not a murderer, and as for the evidence you have listed before, I think you yourself should understand what is going on. ”

The messenger's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.

"How is this possible? How can what you say be true, when all the authentication and physical evidence are complete! How is this possible?"

The old man in red glanced at both sides and said, "The result has come out, then you can leave, it is also a sin to forge and frame, and you have also wasted the power of the Holy Light." ”

The official glanced at the envoy with disdain, and said, "Mr. Maier is not guilty, you can go back, and besides, I will tell His Majesty the King what you have done, and I believe that your king will not condone this kind of thing." ”

The messenger's face was pale.
