Chapter 105: One is greater than infinity
With Al's understanding, Mr. Ludon had a hard time understanding what self-respect meant.
Fortunately, breaking the defense is only a matter of moments.
The people of the Inquisition quickly regained control of their emotions and regained their previous composure.
"Mr. Ludon, you need to attend a trial tomorrow night. Men of the Holy Family, accuse you of being a demon to the Inquisition..."
After listening to the other party's words, Ludon gritted his teeth and said,
"I knew someone was slandering me behind my back!"
Listening to his words, the crowd fell silent again.
With what Ludon did, it's hard to say it's slander.
Ludon asked instead, angrily,
"Isn't there a price for false accusations? I remember that the Holy Law says, "Don't let an innocent body suffer an unjustified wrong!" The person who reported me as a demon should also check it, what if he is a demon?! ”
In terms of hitting a rake, it can be regarded as making Ludon understand.
The people of the Inquisition had expected it, bowed slightly, and said politely,
"We have our own workflow, and if you are innocent, the Saint Family will pay the corresponding price."
When he said this, Ludon felt more comfortable.
If the other party is willing to convert this price into Miso and compensate Ludon directly, he will be more comfortable.
"Okay, I got it."
Luden nodded, making a send-off appearance,
"I'll be there as promised."
This trial, as he expected, the way to survive the trial is also very simple:
Don't do anything illegal throughout the whole process of accumulating money.
At this point, Justice Gurred has given Ludon a vague hint.
The Holy Law had been watching over him.
As long as the process is guaranteed to be completely legal, Ludon is invincible and will not be sent to the gallows.
As for how much Miso he can leave ... That's another topic.
The men of the Inquisition stood at the door, but they did not move their steps.
Lu Deng's brows arched slightly, don't you know how to read the air so much, if you don't leave, it's a little rude.
"One more thing."
The other party took out something from his arms, but instead of a noose, it was a strange bird mask.
The man took two steps forward, placed the strange bird mask on the table, and stepped back,
"Mr. Luden, the Presiding Judge likes you very much and is willing to give you a chance to join the Inquisition... If you choose to join, no one will be able to judge you. ”
Within the Divine State, there are only a few special beings who have extrajudicial immunity from the Holy Code.
The Holy Family, without being judged a demon, will not be exiled or deprived of citizenship.
Justices and scholars cannot be convicted without a citizens' assembly.
Finally, there is the Inquisition.
There has always been only the Inquisition of Heresy to judge others, and no one else to judge the Inquisition of Heresy.
Now, the road is in front of Luden.
"If you choose this path..."
Luden fell into deep thought, and after a while, said something inexplicable,
"I will not be able to send a blessing to the world."
The Inquisition can only send blessings to the Holy Family.
If Lu Deng joins them, even if he is in a high position, the scope of blessing will still be the same.
He can't just give up an entire forest for the sake of a few big trees!
Lutten has always believed that everyone is equal in the face of good fortune.
He really likes to send good fortune, and I cried to death.
The other party's offer is indeed tempting enough.
But
One of Luden's favorite things to do is to say no to people who think they are better than him, just like Mr. Ogishi.
"I refuse."
The man standing outside the door was not surprised, but spoke again,
"The presiding judge guessed that you would refuse, and this mask is placed with you for the time being... Think of it as the goodwill of the Inquisition.
At any time, you can choose to wear a mask and become a part of us. ”
With that, he saluted again and disappeared into the night.
"The Inquisition is always open for you."
In the last paragraph, he told a bad joke that was not funny.
【The Goodwill of the Inquisition】
There are four things that do not exist in the Kingdom of God:
The wisdom of the Senate, the generosity of the palace of greed, the demons of the House of the Holy Descent, the goodwill of the Inquisition.
The man is gone.
The three people in the room fell silent together.
It was difficult for Ah Wu to understand what was going on, but the innate temperament of the other party made him instinctively a little afraid.
Al's emotions are a little more complicated.
She is a saint, and since she was born, she has lived in the shadow of the Inquisition, and has even been sent to the gallows by the other party.
Al will never forget what happened on the gallows.
If it weren't for Mr. Ludon, she would have been hanged.
Every saint has a deep fear of the existence of the Inquisition.
The only person who can stay relaxed and calm is Luden.
He stared at the mask for a long time before he opened his mouth to break the silence,
"This mask is more advanced than the one he wears?"
Al:......
Is this a high-level thing?!
El Wan never expected that at this time, Mr. Ludon would still be in the mood to compare.
A lifetime of being strong belongs to yes.
"Alright, it's time to rest."
Lu Deng stood up and put the mask on the table into his arms, and the suppressed emotions in the small building were diluted a lot, and the other two subconsciously wanted to forget what had just happened.
"Awu, if you don't have to, just light a candle at night."
Mr. Ludon advised, and Awu memorized every word.
He definitely didn't do it to save money, but to prevent fires and have a good sense of danger.
It must be like this!
Al, who had climbed the stairs with a candlestick, rolled his eyes in the darkness.
This guy is just a pure slammer...
Last night, the state of God was fine.
The next day, Ludon had a rare slept and did not get up close to noon.
Awu and Al, on the other hand, went about their business as usual, without bothering Mr. Ludon.
He needs to rest.
During this time, there were too many things for Lu Deng to think about, not only to study the existing forces of the Divine State, but also to anticipate every step of each force, and to protect himself while making as many blessings as possible.
The battle in the first half has come to an end, and Ludon naturally has to seize the hard-won time to repair well.
Champagne at half-time, no.
Half-time desertion, OK.
Until the tranquility of the small building was broken by an uninvited guest.
"What about Mr. Luden?"
The Ghulei scholars visited again, this time, not in a private capacity, but with a mission.
The sleepy-eyed Ludon washed his face with water, and Gu Lei's words penetrated into his ears,
"For some reason, the scholars decided to hold a collective meeting to discuss whether or not to support you in this trial, and you need to be present in person."
Luden, who came to his senses, behaved very calmly,
"Okay."
He washed up briefly, asked Awu to pack a portion of food, and got into the carriage that had come to pick him up.
In the carriage, Ludon settled his brunch, and even had the leisure to let Guray relax a little.
"It's going to be fine."
The look of worry on Gu Lei's face did not lessen in the slightest, but became even more intense.
Nothing like this has ever happened!
The hanged man brought money and food for the scholars and justices to help the victims.
Afterwards, even some of the hanged people would be treated as outcasts and hanged by the Inquisition.
But never before have university scholars held a collective meeting to discuss!
Watching from the sidelines is already the most indifferent thing university scholars do.
And today's collective meeting, at worst, will even support the Holy Family's denunciation of Ludon!
This is no longer abandonment, but betrayal!
Gourley never imagined that things would come to this point.
Ludon wasn't surprised.
He believed that in the past 800 years, no hanged man had ever acted like him.
Lu Deng's scourge was not only the Holy Family, but also the rich merchants and middle class in the city... Anyone who has a little money has fallen into the trap of the good fortune contract.
Fitt Rakley is the best example of this.
In other words, the condemnation of Lu Den by the Holy Descent family even represents the hearts of the people in a sense!
The Holy Family pleads for the people's lives?
Something not seen in 800 years!
During this time, I don't know why, there are more and more absurd things in the kingdom of God!
The carriage stopped, and Ludon got out of it, and with the guidance of the scholars, entered a courtroom through a side door.
In front of Lutdon was a round table with a scale.
On the left side of the scale, twelve weights have been pressed, while the right side is empty, and the balance is naturally tilted to the left.
On the round table, except for the scales, there was only one weight left,
Ludon raised his head slightly, moving his gaze to the top.
The domed ceiling is carved with the text of the Holy Code, and the entire room is under the watchful eye of the Holy Code.
Ludon looked down again,
This circular room is divided into two floors, like an amphitheater.
Ludon, on the other hand, is on the theater stage, and he is the one who is being judged and his own defender.
On the second floor above his head, nine seats formed a circle, falling evenly in all directions, looking around Luden.
On these nine seats, eight people are seated, each wearing a pitch-black mask on their faces, and their rankings are marked with white paint:
Two, three, four, five....
Not one.
Based on his size, it is not difficult for Ludon to recognize the three university scholars and the six college scholars.
University scholar six even stretched out his hand to him and said hello, without shying away from it.
Only eight university scholars will be present at this collective meeting, and their final vote will decide Luden's fate.
If there is a 4-4 vote, the result will be sent to the university student, who will cast the crucial vote.
The door behind Ludon slowly closed.
The collective meeting officially began.
There was no nonsense, no ceremony, the university scholar three spoke,
"The Twelve Saint Descendants proposed to the scholars that each of them could take in an additional 5,000 civilians, pay for all the temporary residence rights of the other party in the Divine State, and provide enough food without asking for anything in return, and the Saint Descendants had only one condition.... Ludon S. Y. Wegood, the Saint Family wants you dead. ”
After speaking, the third scholar paused,
"It's time to start your defense, Ludon Y. WeGood. ”
Nodding to the other party, Ludon took a step forward, looked around, and said slowly,
"I'm not trying to defend myself, or fighting for anything, I'm just here to state a fact."
In front of the eight scholars, Lu Deng behaved very calmly, as calmly as a gentleman.
He didn't pretend, nor did he play a good body, but from the bottom of his heart, he really thought so.
His righteousness comes from a firm belief in his heart, a belief that is stronger than gold.
His gaze swept over the eight scholars, and Lu Deng said in a deep voice,
"No matter how many lives you take, you can't kill an innocent person"
No matter how many civilians the Holy Family promised, how many civilians they could take in, how much they were willing to take, how much food they were willing to give...
None of this can be a reason to kill Ludon.
Ludon is innocent.
The Holy Law does not allow an innocent person to die because of it.
As Ludon said, he is not defending himself, he disdains to argue.
He directly pointed out that if he agreed to the request of the Holy Descent family today, then in the future, every hanged person would encounter the same situation as Lu Deng!
Every hanged person will be killed by the Holy Descent family.
Kill all the hanged people, and the appetite of the Saint Family will swell even further, and they will kill more innocent people until they go to the final destruction, the final madness.
The initiator, what is the aftermath?
Once the foundation of the sacred law is eroded, the end of the divine state is not far off.
With that, Ludon picked up the only weight he had in his hand and gently placed it on the scale.
Under the gaze of many scholars, the left side, which was full of weights, slowly lifted, while the right side, which was only one weight, sank!
On the scales of the Holy Codex, one is greater than infinity.
