The crowd was silent for a moment before erupting into louder cheers.

At the same time, countless voices converged into two words that kept repeating.

- Judgment! Trial! Trial!!!

The voice became louder and louder, as if it was about to break through the sky, and Ge Wen's face changed dramatically.

Quintus, on the side, remained silent.

"Our first prisoner, the Inquisitor of Multiscale City, has interrogated a total of 219 suspects of the Blood Moon Society in the last six months, according to our investigation.

"More than half of them died during the interrogation, and less than 20 of the remaining survived to this day."

A fat man about twice the size of an ordinary person was escorted to Herodotus.

Before Herodotus could speak again, he had already knelt on the ground with a thud, and wept bitterly, "It was Shapiro who forced me to do it, it was Shapiro who forced me to do it, and I am also a believer in the Silver Moon Goddess, how could I bear to attack other believers!"

"Please, spare my life, I already know that I am wrong, and I am willing to serve you."

"It's not me that you should ask for." Herodotus shook his head and said softly, "I am not your judge. ”

After speaking, he moved his gaze to the crowd at his feet, looked around, and then said, "As I promised before, I will return the judgment on him to you.

"It is up to you to decide his fate, and if you think he is innocent, then I will let him go now, and if you think he is guilty, you can ask me to put him to death.

"So please be careful with the power you have."

Before Herodotus could finish speaking, someone shouted, "Kill him, kill him, avenge those who died!" ”

"That's right, kill him! Kill him!!! My brother died at his hand!! ”

More and more people called for his execution, and the fat inquisitor's face turned pale, and the whole person couldn't help shaking.

He seemed to know that he was in danger today, but he didn't want to sit still, so he got up from the ground, turned his head and fled down the stone steps.

However, Ilkand on the side was quick-eyed, and he had already drawn the saber at his waist, and with a single sword, he cleanly cut off the head of the fat inquisitor.

The head flew far away, landing at Herodotus' feet.

But Herodotus didn't even look at it, just smiled and said, "The next prisoner, oh no, the next group of prisoners, the remnants of the Raimundi family."

"After you killed Shapiro, they wanted to contact the garrison to arrest and execute all those involved in the riot, so what do you think we should do with them?"

The crowd was much quieter this time, after all, the Raimundi family had ruled the city of Scales for a long time, and even though the head of the family, Shapiro, was dead, the remnants were still there.

And this time, among the more than 40 prisoners who were brought in were women and children.

So this time the crowd argued.

Herodotus was not in a hurry, and waited silently on the stone steps, and after about a quarter of an hour, the people below the stone steps barely agreed on their opinions.

Kill all the men of the Raimundi family, and send the women to the courtyard.

But soon someone objected, "We can't stay alive, or what if that guy comes to us for revenge in the future." ”

"Yes, they should all be killed!" Someone chimed in, "When Shapiro arrested and tortured us, none of these people stopped him, so they must all be guilty." ”

"And what was your final decision?" Herodotus asked.

"Kill them all, kill them all!!

"Yes, no misfortune can be left behind." The crowd shouted loud voices calling for the forty-odd people to be executed.

"It's not justice at all, it's just a carnival of a mob." Ge Wen's face turned pale.

And this time Quintus didn't refute, the expression on his face became a little dazed, as if he had encountered some kind of problem.

Just as Ge Wen spoke, more than forty heads over there also fell to the ground.

Blood even splattered onto Herodotus' robes, making them look even brighter.

"The next prisoner is a big man," Herodotus said, "he's the acting lord of Rock Snow City, Lord 'Winter' Gwen from the Figuerara family. ”

Herodotus was like introducing a commodity, and when he had finished speaking, someone pushed Gwen up the stone steps.

Gwen didn't resist, but he took a few steps before suddenly turning around and grabbing the warrior's saber behind him.

Pulled it out with force, and then roared angrily, "You mobs have no right to judge me!" ”

With that, he launched a charge against Herodotus.

However, the injured leg slowed down his movement, and the inflammation caused by the infection also made him break out in a cold sweat and weaken his feet.

Gwen ran two steps, and when he saw that a group of guards had surrounded Herodotus, he knew that he would not be able to kill the High Priestess of the Blood Moon Society.

So he rushed up to the bottom of the stone steps before the soldiers around him rushed up, and jumped into the crowd.

Ge Wen waved the long sword in his hand and killed three people in a row, frightening the other civilians around him to flee in all directions, he stared at a guy who had just been called the happiest at the trial, and was about to catch up, but the next moment his footsteps were stunned.

An arrow hit him in the back!

But Ge Wen's blood-red eyes, as if he didn't feel pain at all, swung his sword again, and killed another person, so that a second arrow also came, this time hitting him in the back.

Then came the first three arrows...... Ge Wen was last hit by a total of six arrows, and then he fell unwillingly.

Herodotus frowned, of course he could see that Gwen was begging for death at all, and he didn't want to accept the so-called trial like the previous ones.

However, in the situation just now, it was obviously not possible to let Ge Wen continue to slaughter the believers under the stone steps without letting go of the arrows.

Herodotus shook his head, and finally had to accept this result.

It wasn't quite what he had planned, but it wasn't a big deal, and Gwen died in the end.

Herodotus shifted his gaze back to Quintus, who seemed to be touched by Gwen's death, and was now looking up at Herodotus.

But the look in his eyes quickly changed from anger to surprise.

Herodotus actually admired Quintus, because the latter was not the same as the corrupt and depraved high priests of the Silvermoon Church, he was a man of true ability, and he was also very devout in Picia.

Herodotus wanted to subdue Quintus and make him available to the Blood Moon Society.

Just thinking about Herodotus, he suddenly noticed that his feet were light, and the whole person floated towards the sky.

The High Priest of the Blood Moon Society was stunned for about two seconds before realizing that he had been kidnapped.

Just as everyone was attracted by the bloody battle under the stone steps, a dark shadow rushed towards him from the temple behind Herodotus.

And when Herodotus' guards realized what had happened, they saw that their high priest had been grabbed by the figure and rushed to the sky.

"Bastard! Put down Lord Herodotus! ”

"Don't go !!"

The guards had already drawn their longbows and aimed at the figure in the air, but they did not dare to release their arrows for fear of accidentally injuring Herodotus.

So I could only watch the winged figure fly higher and higher.

Just when the big guy was at a loss and didn't know where the figure was going to take Herodotus, who would have thought that the guy in the air was actually as good as a stream, and really let go of the arm that was holding Herodotus.
