Chapter 147: The Judgment of the Royal Court

The next day, the court trial was held at 9 o'clock in the morning in the side hall of the palace.

Late last night, Mei Yi and his party arrived at the True Spirit. Mei Yi and Kira were imprisoned in the small house by the lake where he had lived, and the two slept until eight o'clock, when Sakura called out, "Mei Yi, Kira, pack up and get ready for the trial." ”

Mei Yi agreed, made a breakfast seriously, ate it elegantly with Kira, and then drove to the palace.

In the car, Sakura asked a little strangely: "Meiyi, why don't you ask me if the queen and princess will participate in the trial?" ”

Mei Yi said, "Needless to say, I also know that the queen secretly went to Sombra City to visit Princess Agiro. Even if the queen is here, in such a serious matter, she will not be able to defend me. Even the royal family could not compete with the entire aristocracy. ”

Sakura Mai was speechless all of a sudden, she grabbed her long hair, and said with some headaches, "I really don't like dealing with smart people like you, I feel like I'm completely superfluous." Rest assured, the king has said that he will not let those who serve the kingdom with all their hearts go without good results. ”

"Don't scratch your hair anymore, be careful of catching yourself bald!" Mei Yi kindly reminded.

"You have to take care of it!"

Side hall.

Mei Yi took Qiluo's hand and walked in, and saw the long-lost Duke Zezong, the chief of staff of the palace, Count Peiyi, the minister of lordship affairs, Duke Liuxi, the minister of tribal affairs, Cardinals Angelia and Lilith, and a few people she had never seen before.

Both cardinals had met Mei Yi on different occasions before, but they had never spoken to each other, and Mei Yi did not know them. They looked at the former Great Lord of Sombra and the human girl beside him with some curiosity and pity.

Mei Yi and Kira saluted separately and said nothing.

Ze Zong, the chief of staff of the palace, said: "Meiyi, we meet again. ”

Mei Yi said: "Yes." It's been since my last debriefing, and I've forgotten how long it has been. Is there finally a conclusion on what to do with me? ”

Zezong said: "Sort of." It's not an easy thing to do. The kingdom has been at loggerheads over your business, and the final decision may not be satisfactory to you, but it is not necessarily a bad thing for you. ”

Mei Yi said, "Let's talk about the final decision first." ”

Zezong glanced at Mei Yi, took the thick file, and said: "The final verdict for you is that the merits and demerits will be offset and acquitted, but you will not be allowed to return to the True Spirit and Flower Spirit ...... for life."

Mei Yi and Kira looked at each other and smiled: This is not a punishment at all.

"Also, Mei Yi and Madame are not allowed to return to the Windy Lands."

Before Mei Yi could react, Qiluo was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly, "Is this really the case in the kingdom?" ”

Zezong took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said in disbelief: "I didn't hear what you were talking about clearly just now, can I ask you to say it again?" ”

Qiluo said coldly: "Whether it is a true spirit or a flower spirit, we are not rare. The Windy Land is our home, why can't we return to it? Are you going to lock us up in Flower Spirit for the rest of your life? ”

Zezong said with a little embarrassment: "Since it is a punishment decision, it will make people feel uncomfortable. ”

Kira sneered: "The kingdom asked my husband to go to Sombra City, which is in a cannibalistic situation, to serve as the Great Lord, who expected that Sombra City not only did not have turmoil, but also quickly stabilized and became rich. At this time, you are red at Sombra again, and you want to kick him away. Forget it, you won't let us return to the Windy Lands. Are you so ruthless towards humanity, even those who are dedicated to the Kingdom? ”

Count Peiyi, the minister of lord's affairs, rebuked: "Shut up! The Kingdom's decisions should not be judged indiscriminately! Meiyi, as a former important minister of the kingdom, please take good care of your wife! ”

Mei Yi spread her hands and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do this." At that time, when my mother-in-law agreed to marry my daughter, the only condition she made was that she would take care of all the affairs of the family. Coupled with the fact that I don't work much now, and I am all supported by my wife's family, how dare I teach her a lesson? ”

There was no laughter in the side hall.

Everyone knows that this is not the time to laugh.

The Minister of the Three Clans said, "Miss Kira, please forgive me. Kingdoms also have kingdom afflictions. Besides, Meiyi isn't fully human, is she? He grew up in the elven world and also has an elven eye. This eye is still the pride of the royal family, Lord Esther's ......"

Qiluo was a little short of words, and Mei Yi said coldly: "In other words, if I return this golden eye, there will be no problem, right?" ”

The entire side hall suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone, including Kira, looked at Mei Yi in disbelief.

This human lord is famous for his bold decision, and when others say this, they will only take it as a joke, but Mei Yi said this, and everyone believed it in their hearts.

Mei Yi said calmly, "If that's the case, I'm willing to return the eyes that Sister Esther gave me at any time." It's not mine after all, and I'm willing to give it back to Sister Esther's family at any time. ”

There was still silence in the side hall.

I don't know how long it took for Duke Zezong to break the silence, "In other words, you don't accept this result, do you?" I would like to remind you that if you do not accept this outcome, the next thing that awaits you is a public joint trial. I'll tell you straight away, those Inquisitors are very unfriendly to humanity, and the results are only worse. ”

Mei Yi said: "I decided to participate in a public joint trial in exchange for a glimmer of hope. My mother-in-law had tearfully told me to take Kira back to the Windy Lands, and I would not accept your kindness under any circumstances. ”

Duke Zezong and the others let out a long sigh, and then said to Qiluo: "Miss Qiluo, the crime committed by Meiyi has nothing to do with you. You can leave at any time, and the Knights of the Royal Palace will escort you safely to the Flower Spirit Academy. ”

"Don't bother with you, I want to be with my husband forever." Kira used all her strength to hug Meiyi's arm.

Duke Zezong stood up and said, "If you have already thought through the consequences, then it is up to you." ”

Two days later, a joint trial was held in the square of the main temple of Emilia.

No one expected that so many people would come to the main temple square. Nearly 10,000 people surrounded the square like a tide. The Knights of the Royal Palace and the Knights of the Templar had no choice but to put up temporary horse-rejection stakes and set up enchantments to isolate the people.

They met Meiyi through "As You Wish, Lord Lord". At this moment, the human lord was standing quietly in front of their eyes, along with his wife, in front of the judgment seat composed of kingdom officials and temple priests. All the Inquisitors wore masks, revealing only their two eyes outside.

Mei Yi said it several times, but no one brought a stool for Kira. Mei Yi squatted down, put her hand on the ground, and the whole person slowly stood up, and the ice cubes under her hands formed a huge frozen throne.

Mei Yi spread her coat on the throne and sat Kira down.

Kira sat down obediently, her long blonde hair fluttering in the wind like a queen.

The Inquisitor didn't seem surprised by Mei Yi's ability to do magic, they looked at each other, nodded, and decided not to interfere with Mei Yi's actions.

A grim-looking Templar in black robes and high braids stepped forward and took the string of black Reisuke from Mei Yi's hand. She glanced at the diamond bracelet on Qiluo's hand and snorted coldly: This great lord is not as incorruptible as the legend says. This bracelet alone is sky-high.

In the world, there is nothing good. I don't understand that Cardinal Illya was tempted by such a person, so he was stripped of his position as papal heir, demoted to the last cardinal, and played the boring thing called the piano all day long.

At nine o'clock, the trial began on time.

"Meiyi, do you plead guilty?" A tall male judge came up and asked.

"To the people of Sombra, I am guilty. The first sin is that I did not oppose the withdrawal of the army on the border between Sombra and Giant Wood for fear of being labeled as a hostile elf, resulting in the slaughter of tens of thousands of people. The second sin, because of my inner cowardice, I did not kill Fislo, so that the souls of tens of thousands of people in Sombra City could not rest in peace. ”

"Fislo is an earl, and the law of nobility applies, how can you be allowed to kill wantonly? Do you know how many nobles were among the 4,000 people you killed? 134 people! This is a blatant massacre of the nobles of the kingdom! The most appalling event in the last hundred years. A chubby male inquisitor roared.

Mei Yi sneered: "You mean, I deserve to be killed by the nobles of 10,000 people in Sombra City?" My newborn child in Sombra City deserves to be disemboweled, and picked on the tip of a sword? My Sombra woman deserves to be wantonly humiliated? My good boy in Sombra City deserves to be cut off**, cut off his hands, and cut off his ears and nose! ”

The people outside the barrier were terrified when they heard this, and some were frightened and kept stroking their chests.

Before the inquisitor could speak, Mei Yi pointed to the idol of the goddess Emilia and said sharply, "If you have the courage, answer me in front of the goddess!" Do the people of my Sombra City all deserve to be killed, and if they die, they will die! Are you not trying to maintain the privileges of the nobility, and you don't even want the most basic dignity and conscience? ”

The seven judges at the table were so frightened by the angry crowd that they did not dare to speak.

Mei Yi sneered: "I really feel incredible, in order to defend a nobleman who has committed war crimes, killing, arson, and torture, you do not hesitate to openly defend your sins in front of the goddess. How long has it been, please don't tell me, Philos hasn't been caught yet! ”

A female inquisitor wearing a reisuke slammed the gavel and said, "The crimes you mentioned are based on the laws of your Sombra City. Unfortunately, the laws of Sombra City, as a subordinate law, contradict the laws of the kingdom and have no effect on the nobles. ”

Mei Yi said in disgust: "You won't tell me that this kind of demon who killed more than 10,000 innocent people, you only plan to sentence him to reflect in the fief for life according to the so-called "Nobility Law", right?" ”

The tall male judge said forcefully: "This is the law, don't you write it in your own book?" Everything must be done according to the law! fell on yourself and didn't admit it? ”

Mei Yi laughed and said, "You talk to me about the law? The essence of the law lies in fairness and justice. If the rule of law is to be truly governed, there must be a uniform set of laws that apply equally to the nobles and commoners, rather than the aristocracy using aristocratic law and the commoners using plebeian law. Let's make a face, okay? ”

"Why do you hate the nobility so much?" A thin female Inquisitor asked in an unkind tone.

"I don't have a hatred of the nobility." Mei Yi said, "My dean Xilu is a nobleman, she has been teaching and educating people for nearly forty years, and has cultivated countless talents for the kingdom, and I respect him from the bottom of my heart. The owner of my right eye, Esther, is a nobleman, and she has conquered demonic beasts many times to relieve the suffering of the people on the border of the Tianlu Mountains, and I admire her from the bottom of my heart. My wife, Kira, is a nobleman, and I love her from the bottom of my heart when she persists in being kind to people after three years of detention in Hua Ling, and she is from the brink of starvation. Excuse me, Lord Inquisitor, what kind of nobleman is Fislo, a devil with blood on his hands? He's just a monster that incarnates as a human and wantonly eats people in the kingdom! No, even Warcraft isn't so vicious! ”

The inquisitors listened to the sound of the tsunami of the people outside the barrier, and looked at each other one by one. They had never encountered such a prickly criminal. As soon as the previous criminals heard that they were going to be tried jointly, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak, and they cried into mud one by one.
