Artimus turned to look.

Under his gaze, several figures appeared in the distance.

There were five of them, and one of them was someone whom Artimus knew well.

"Heru ......."

Artimus called out the man's name.

Then the five men walked to the high platform.

Ahead, the middle-aged man turned around and his gaze fell on Yadimu: "These are human witnesses. ”

"In the presence of this prisoner, you can now speak out loud about what you have seen."

He looked at the five Heru people on the side, and a smile appeared on his face: "Come, children, say out loud everything you see." ”

As his voice fell, as if receiving a hint of something, the first person walked out first.

He looked at Artim in front of him, first a little frightened, and then as if he had mustered up courage, he said loudly: "Mr. Herris, about half a month ago, Jack and I returned from the corner of the academy. ”

"At that time, we saw Artemu and Mr. Herder dueling there."

"In the beginning, we didn't care, we just thought it was an ordinary challenge."

"Challenge, good."

The middle-aged man named Herris smiled, and then spoke: "And then?" ”

"We were hiding in the grass and watching the challenge and witnessed Mr. Herder being defeated by Mr. Yatimu and knocked him to the ground."

Another student said, "At the time, we thought the matter was over, but we were shocked by Mr. Yatimu's subsequent actions. ”

"Ignoring Mr. Herder's pleas, he directly tortured Mr. Heard to death with the sword in his hand, and forcibly dismembered his body."

"You mean, you've seen the torture of Heard in the corner of my academy?"

Yatimu's voice rang out at this moment.

Listening to the words of the two people in front of him, his face became calm: "So, what about the evidence?" ”

"Isn't the evidence obvious?"

Herris spoke loudly: "Mr. Herder's corpse is the best evidence!" ”

"The scars on that corpse are the greatest evidence of your atrocities against Mr. Herder!"

"What if someone took Herder's body and disposed of it?"

Yadimu asked rhetorically, "Is this possible?" ”

"Are you all fools when we are?"

Herris sneered and said, "Mr. Yatemu, I want to ask you, where were you on the day of Mr. Herder's death?" ”

"I'm on the edge of the academy, fighting him."

Yadimu spoke.

"Good."

A smile appeared on Herris's face, "So, you admit that you met with Mr. Herder before he died, and fought against him. ”

"Then I have a question."

He stared at Yadimu and asked, "Since you said that it was a duel, then why didn't you go to the training ground specially set up by the academy, but instead choose to go to the corner of the academy, to a place where no one can see?" ”

"Why did Mr. Herder have no problems with his body in the past, and he died suddenly after the duel with you?"

"The specific reason, I have already made it clear half a month ago."

Artimu's gaze fell on Herris: "You know this best. ”

"Report?"

Herris sneered, "Do you mean, those ridiculous lies you're telling?" ”

"Your claim in your report that there is a killer within our academy is simply ridiculous!"

"The people of the entire Hodd Kingdom know that our Hodd Academy is the safest place, but you say that there are killers hidden here, it's just nonsense!"

"According to you, the report you said is false, in order to conceal your charge of brutally killing Herder!"

"Heru, tell me about it."

He turned again and looked at Heru beside him.

Heru slowly stood up and looked at everyone's eyes, looking a little frightened: "Yes, Mr. Herris, I have seen with my own eyes that Artimus once carried Herder's weapon. ”

"He's used to show off this weapon."

"Are you sure that's the weapon that Herder used when he died?"

Herris's face was calm, and he opened his mouth to confirm.

"Yes, I'm sure."

Heru nodded heavily, and affirmed again: "That's the weapon that Mr. Herder used before, it looks very special, but it has been cut off." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this weapon is now hidden in the former residence of Artimu."

"Good."

Herris turned around and said to the guards beside him, "Let people go to Yadimu's previous residence and search it, and bring back as much as possible what is inside." ”

The man on the side nodded, then left.

They came back soon after, and they took a bunch of stuff with them.

It was all bits and pieces, including some blood-stained gold coins, a cracked sword, and a few other small things.

Undoubtedly, these were Herder's previous belongings.

"Now that the physical evidence is there, Artimu, what else do you want to say?"

Herris looked at Artimus in front of him, a smug smile on his face.

Standing in place, Adim was silent for a moment before speaking, "I haven't been in that place for a long time. ”

This is an objective fact.

Since the battle with Herder, Artimus has left his previous residence and chosen a new place to live.

If there were no accidents, that place would have been covered with dust at the moment, and it would have been obvious at a glance that it was inhuman.

But Artimus also understood that at this time, none of this mattered.

When the other party wants to deliberately frame and frame a false accusation, those objective facts are no longer important.

What the other side wants is a trial for Yatimu, not the so-called justice and truth.

There was no one in the room who was unaware of the problem.

With the testimony of Heru and others, do they not know that what they have done is perjury?

How much of the evidence was forged by the people who were responsible for collecting evidence?

As for Herris, that's even less to say.

What the facts and truths were, this could not be clearer to him, the elder of the academy.

Even the audience who was watching from the sidelines could know that there were many tricks revealed in this incident, and that there was a big problem in it.

But do these matter?

Obviously it doesn't matter.

The so-called justice of the law is only a tool in the eyes of these people, a means to an end.

And Yadimu is their purpose at this moment.

Thinking of this, Yadimu couldn't help but sigh, feeling inexplicably tired.

"It seems that no matter what I say, I must bear the ....... for this crime today."

He said with a sigh.

"Or else?"

Herris asked rhetorically, with that mean, smug smile on his face: "You are a criminal, how can you expect to escape the judgment of the law." ”

"If the law is fair, then I am willing to accept it no matter what the outcome is."

Yadimu's face was calm: "But this is neither just nor just judgment, I can't accept it." ”

"Or rather, I want to ....... it another way"

"The judgment of the law is not something you can do as you want."

With a sneer on his face, Herris waved his hand.

On the side, several guards slowly stepped forward and slowly approached Yadimu.

It looked like he was going to take him down.

In this regard, Yadimu was very calm.

He sat upright in his place, seemingly unresponsive to the guards walking around.

This performance made the guards everywhere secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, no matter what you say, the Yadimu in front of you is also the top apprentice of the academy.

The other party can kill Herder, so naturally they can easily kill them.

If Yadimu can not resist and obediently confess his guilt, it will naturally be the best result.

But will things turn out like this in the end?

Apparently not.

Scratch ......

At that moment, Yadimu finally made a move.

The guards who approached on the side were directly pushed away by him, even if they were also knight apprentices, they didn't have the slightest power to fight back.

Then, the golden sword was directly drawn and swung forward.

Bang!

With just one blow, the huge courtroom platform was directly hit into a dent.

The power of terror vibrates and spreads in all directions.

"Artimu!"

Looking at this scene, Herris finally changed color: "What do you want to do!" ”

"Draw your weapon in the Inquisition, do you want to challenge the authority of the Academy?"

"The authority of the Academy?"

Artimu raised his head and looked at Herris in front of him: "If the authority of the academy is supported by people like you, then the existence of this authority is not a good thing, but it is just an accomplice of the evil one." ”

"In fact, it is, isn't it?"

"Dear Mr. Herris."

He looked directly at Herris and spoke word by word.

The trial at Helder College stands for justice by no means.

This was understood by Artimus from a very early age.

The nobles and the commoners, the powerful and the ordinary, these are different within the academy.

A child of commoner origin must not offend a nobleman, otherwise it is a sin, but a nobleman can be innocent of violating the daughter of a commoner.

Similar stories, Artimu knows too much.

Let's just say that what happened recently is not what happened to Reagan?

Just because his sister was favored by the powerful, Reagan's rebellion became a sin.

And where was the authority of the college and the justice of the law at that time?

Since this law was not just, what obligation did Atim have to obey?

In Herder's case, he was innocent.

Herder's death itself had nothing to do with him, and he never thought of killing Herder.

For the academy, he has never told a lie, and has already told everything truthfully.

If so, the college will judge him for his guilt.

Then don't wait for this academy!

Scratch .......

The sound of the long sword breaking through the air kept ringing.

It was a man hiding in a corner drawing his sword.

"In the courtroom, attempting to assault a judge is the greatest crime and can be directly sentenced to death."

Looking at Artimu's movements, Herris was not afraid, but instead showed a smile on his face: "Kill him for me!" ”
