Chapter 283: The Trial Begins

Xiao Zhimiao was taken by the divine envoy all the way to the Statue of Light Square in the center of the Holy City.

The Holy City is huge, and the people who live in it are the most loyal believers of the God of Light, most of whom are mages such as preachers and priests, and there are also a lot of paladins.

In addition to the believers and witch hunters in the Holy City, there are also believers of the God of Light who have come from all over the world to participate in the judgment today, as if they are participating in a grand pilgrimage***.

Xiao Zhimiao saw a team of knights in the crowd of white-robed people, their armor was a little different from that of paladins, and there was a crown intersecting with a long sword on the shield and banner.

This is the Order of Knights from the Royal City.

Wang Cheng also participated in the witch hunt, and naturally sent people to participate in it on Judgment Day.

Xiao Zhimiao looked at the knight in the lead, this knight had a beautiful face, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and a very tall figure, this was the female knight Oriel she had seen in Kane City.

The knight seemed to sense her gaze, and turned her head to look at her, and a look of surprise crossed her eyes when she saw her.

Xiao Zhimiao looked at her for a moment, then withdrew his gaze.

She didn't expect to meet the NPCs in the previous dungeons here, she knew that these dungeons were all made from some real events in the past, but they were too detailed, and even this kind of marginal characters who didn't have a lot to do with the dungeon were added.

Thinking of this, she opened the system backpack and found the reward for clearing the Cairn City dungeon in the inventory.

In addition to the god-level prop Faceless and the magic lantern that has been fused together by her with the Soul Summoning Rattle to make a spirit summoning lamp, there are also two props.

Auriel's Broken Sword and Knight's Emblem.

Both of these things belong to Oriel, who has been holding on to Kane City for several years, and even if she becomes a monster, she still maintains her sanity to protect Kane City, and is a real knight.

However, this time period of the Judgment Day quest is much earlier than the Kane City quest, but it should not be a few years before she went to Kane City.

At this time, she was just an ordinary mortal, without the super long lifespan of gods and monsters.

She thought about it for a moment, maybe this Oriel could be of some use to her in the future.

"Burn the witch!"

"Burn the witch!"

Xiao Zhimiao saw that the crowd in white robes around him were shouting, with a look of anger, as if they were all a group of righteous people with noble morals, as long as they followed the shouting, even if they were blindfolded, they were right.

Through the crowd, she saw two familiar faces, Zhao Chengming and Xie Zhi.

There was also a petite figure beside Zhao Chengming, although she couldn't see her face clearly with a hood, but Xiao Zhimiao knew that it was Xia Dou.

Zhao Chengming took Xia Dou as a bargaining chip to make a deal with her, she was very relieved that Xia Dou was by his side, although this kind of person was terrifying, but his biggest weakness was now in her hands, before resurrecting Zhao Ruxian, Xia Dou was safer with him than hiding anywhere.

Her gaze turned to meet Xie Zhi's eyes as he looked at her, and he looked at her with a hint of worry in his eyes.

She looked ahead, as if she hadn't seen it.

At this moment, she had been brought to the front of the square, the huge statue of light was in the middle of the square, with a faint light all around it, the statue was slender and perfect, with long curly hair scattered behind her head, holding a sun-shaped staff in one hand and a crystal ball in the other.

A white cloth printed with a sun pattern covers the upper half of the god's cheeks, revealing only the lower half of the face with smooth and delicate lines, holy and mysterious.

It was covered by the holy envoys of the Holy City, who felt that mortals were not worthy to look directly at the faces of the gods, and that they would defile the idols.

Many devotees knelt around the square and worshipped the idol in reverent worship.

"Let's go!"

The saint pulled the rope that bound Xiao Zhimiao and led her to the bottom of the idol.

Around the square was the Judgment Viewing Seat, and under the idol in the middle, a high platform was built, and the eleven red-haired witches who had been captured were trapped in the magic circle of the high platform.

Below the high platform is a witch who has been judged to be a blue witch hunting card level, both

Trapped in a magic circle beneath the idol.

The golden filaments that extended from the magic circle bound them all, and the rich holy magic energy burned their skin.

When they looked at Xiao Zhimiao, who was walking towards the idol, their originally dull eyes, like a flame lighting up the night, all looked at her with wide eyes.

"Cessia, how could it be?!"

They looked incredulous, and couldn't believe that Cessia would also be arrested and judged.

"...... Cessia"

"...... Cessia"

They couldn't help but whisper to her, Xiao Zhimiao's expression was as usual, as if she didn't hear their call, and was pulled by the holy envoy to the high platform.

Seeing Xiao Zhimiao stepping onto the high platform step by step, their voices gradually became quieter, until no one spoke anymore.

It's just that compared to the depressed and numb looks before, their eyes have a light in them, and their backs are straightened.

Xiao Zhimiao was trapped in the last magic array in the middle of the high platform, and as soon as she walked away, golden filaments stretched out of the magic array, binding her layer by layer.

The filaments were like red-hot irons, burning her as soon as they touched her skin.

The burning pain of the burn came from all over her body, and Xiao Zhimiao didn't even frown.

Her eyes looked around, and there were many preachers and priests guarding around them, all of them holding Dharma battles in their hands, their expressions solemn, and blessings of the holy magic power of the magic array.

She looked at the red-haired witches on the high platform again, and in addition to Devany and Mia, Xiao Zhimiao also saw a familiar face in her current memory.

The girl was trapped in the magic circle diagonally in front of her, looking at her.

The girl has a delicate face and clear eyes, and it is when she first entered the game, the boss Mora in the first crypt dungeon.

But Mora obviously didn't know her at that time, and now the Mora in front of her looked at her with devotion in her eyes.

Seeing Mora, Xiao Zhimiao vaguely knew what today's trial would probably be.

The eleven red-haired witches on the high platform all glanced at Xiao Zhimiao and then lowered their heads.

Compared with the excitement of the other witches below, they were not the slightest surprise at Xiao Zhimiao's appearance.

They are long dead in Secia's past memories, their souls trapped in this quest and become NPCs, repeatedly captured and killed by witch hunters in this quest, tortured and judged, and as long as this quest exists, they will never be freed.

Even though their souls are numb, every time Cecia appears, they can regain hope, and no matter how many times they repeat the cycle in this dungeon, as long as Secia still appears, they can endure the endless torment.

Because their gods never gave up on them.

Xiao Zhimiao looked at the judgment seat in front of her, Xu Zhilan and they were basically standing together, all looking at her.

"Boom!"

A huge bell rang, and the noisy voices below instantly fell silent.

"Judgment begins, pray to the gods to send judgment!"

Among the holy envoys standing in a row below, one of the holy envoys, who looked higher and dressed a little differently, stepped forward and began to pray to the huge idol in front of him.

Xiao Zhimiao lowered her eyes and listened to the prayer of the Holy Envoy, her fingers swiping slightly.

She can't use any skills or magic now, it's just a habit of her subconscious.

Xu Zhilan and the others at the table were a little anxious, according to the main quest, they would have to be completely judged to clear the mission, in this case, Xiao Zhimiao would also be judged like that witch.

"Do we really want to watch Xiao Zhimiao being judged?" Darcy asked in a worried tone.

Although he was very afraid of death, most of this copy relied on Xiao Zhimiao to come over, and he couldn't bear to see her being judged like this.

Zhu Yunyin looked at Xiao Zhimiao who was trapped on the stage and said, "She won't be planted in the copy so easily, what plan should she have, we'll see."

Just do it."

Xiao Zhimiao has already shown them her ability in the past few days, and Zhu Yunyin is very convinced that she will definitely be able to clear this dungeon, her ability is more than that, and she will not be trapped here.

Xu Zhilan and Xuan Ye looked at the scars on her body, their expressions were tense, and their eyes looked at her without leaving for a moment.

Xu Zhilan tried his best to control himself, so that he would not think of using healing skills on her.

"Great God of Light, these witches have brought evil and darkness upon us, please send judgment and punish them!"

As soon as the envoy's voice fell, a heavenly light peeked through the clouds above the statue and fell on the statue, and several slender figures fluttered their wings and fell from the sky to the center of the square.

"It's the children of the god of light and the Lord Inquisitors!"

When the believers saw the gods praying, they knelt down one after another.

In the Holy City, in addition to the statues of the God of Light, there will be various statues and portraits of other gods, and even some temples in the Divine Domain have been painted.

These are basically the deliberate guidance of the gods above, so that the ordinary people of the Karon Continent have more faith in the gods.

Xiao Zhimiao looked ahead, her gaze fixed on the back of the tallest one in the middle.

This back, along with several other inquisitors, slowly turned around, revealing that peerless indifferent face.

Xiao Zhimiao had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were cold, she didn't expect that it would be Salos who would preside over this trial.

Looking at their formation, this is not the first time they have come to trial.

This copy has never been open to the public, it has always been Secia, it was she who entered this copy, and he judged as many times as she entered.

Standing next to Salos was that annoying little beast in Seiania, Xiao Zhimiao narrowed her eyes slightly, she had already killed one of his clones last time, but she didn't expect him to dare to come down.

Since it's here......

The smile on the corner of Xiao Zhimiao's mouth deepened, and her fingers stopped and slowly curled back.

Seania looked at her with a contemptuous smile on his face, and he appeared in front of her in a flash, "I didn't want to come, but you're just the same as before, I'm tired of failing again and again."

Seenia looked at her with disgust in his eyes, and he reached out to stroke the burned spot on her face, "But the thought of your desperate expression of defeat makes me feel incredibly happy."

Xiao Zhimiao stared at him without speaking, letting his hand run over the *** skin on her body, his hand carried holy magic power, and every inch of skin he touched would burn it.

She silently counted in her mind how many lines his fingers had scratched her skin. z.br>

Seeing that she didn't say a word, Seania sneered, "This time I'm dumb."

He stopped his hand and whispered to her like a viper's breath, "You don't think we don't know about the magic array you put in this dungeon, do you?"
