Chapter 54: Judgment Day
The day of judgment has finally arrived, and the trial of the Archmage Gandra on suspicion of blasphemy against the God of Light is scheduled for June 13, in the Third Chamber of the Lithuania, with Priest Milio as the presiding judge.
Yiqiē is ready, Linya's side is all ready, as long as there are no major accidents, Gandra will definitely be acquitted. Of course, there was also one that came out of nowhere, and found Farmino, who was going to testify as a prosecution witness in the case. However, this news was soon secretly informed by Famino that Linya, hum, now that everyone here has been bought by me, see what other big waves you can make!
The Inquisition of Light is about two kilometers away from the Holy City's main castle, and is separated by Millis Square and Millis Castle. According to the regulations, any trial in the Bright Courtyard is free and open to the public, and anyone can enter at will to observe the trial process as a sign of the "justice" of the Holy See.
But today's trial seems to be too lively, and the courtroom is packed with people early in the morning. It's not because of Gandra's prestige in the wizarding world that the people of these holy cities are not interested in magic anymore. But men always have something in common, even these people who live in the Holy City all day long. Belch...... I don't know who spread the news that Alice and Linya, the two imperial princesses, will definitely attend this trial, and the two most beautiful imperial princesses on the Violet Continent will appear at the same time, which is indeed very shocking.
When Linya took Alice's arm intimately and the two walked into the courtroom together, everyone's eyes immediately gathered, some were amazed, some were envious, some were admired, and of course, there were some nasty things, and even the eyes of the sanctimonious jury members over there secretly drifted to this side, which was really funny.
It's really true that this is beautiful, but it's a pity that it's a beautiful woman with a beautiful woman, which is too wasteful......
The courtroom was large and spacious, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. The interior of the courtroom is hollow, the view is very wide, the conical roof has several large windows, the sunlight can just shine on the courtroom, and the interior decoration of the entire courtroom is mainly white, which looks very solemn.
"Silence! Silence!" Mirio struck the judge's hammer to stop the whispering crowd, and said with a stern face, "Today, the Court of Light will hold a public trial for the desecration of the god of light by the Grand Magister Gandra......"
After a lengthy opening statement, the prosecution's attorney appointed by the Litus read out the charges against Gandra, the main content of which was to blaspheme the God of Light, to subvert the position of the God of Light, and to spread heresies.
According to the steps that Linya and Milio had already discussed, Ke An would first testify in court as a prosecution witness. "Honorable Judge, and members of the jury, I am Koan Mbo, a light magician, a magister, and currently the Honorary Vice President of the Haitian Academy of Magic. I hereby swear to the great god of light that all my testimonies are absolutely true......" The triumphant Ko'an added to his knowledge of what he knew, and in speaking of the fact that the molecule of light was composed of two elements, fire and gold, of course, he made a special emphasis on it: the central point of his theory was that light was not a basic element, but only a molecule of the second order!
After listening to Ke An's words, people quietly began to talk again. In his new theory of the elements, light is not an element but a molecule, a molecule made up of two elements, gold and fire! He even claims that the sun may just be a big ball of fire! It's terrifying! As we all know, the god of light was born from the convergence of the elements of light, and the six basic elements that make up this world gave birth to the six gods, if light is not the basic element, then how did the god of light at the beginning of creation come into being? This is clearly heresy, and Gandra wants to use his prestige, in the name of magic and science, to quietly shake the position of the great god of light in a very hidden way! This is absolutely intolerable!
The crowd was in an uproar, and Mirio quickly picked up the judge's hammer and knocked it on the table a few times, "Quiet, please be quiet!"
"Your Excellency, the jury, and all the citizens who are here today, I think there are many misunderstandings, and I need to clear them up for you. First of all, my theory is purely magical and does not have any religious aspects. In addition, I would like to give a brief explanation of the relationship between light and the three elements of metal and fire in my theory of elements. I found that the element of light can decay into two elements, gold and fire, under certain conditions. I don't know how much you know about magic and the elements, the elemental spirits in the space are active elements, they are actually alive, the world we can see is accumulated by the elements of death, and the light element is the same, when it ages, it will also die, it is different from the four elements of water, fire, earth and wood, oh, to be precise, the light element does not die! it decays into the other two elements before the end of life- Fire and gold, that's why we've never found light matter, because light doesn't die, it breaks down into other elements!" Gandra gushed out according to the plan she had agreed with Linya and the others beforehand.
"In addition, I discovered that the dark element also has the same characteristics as the light element, and the dark element decays and decomposes into the water element and the earth element. Light and darkness have certain peculiar coincidences and opposites. In my theory, light and darkness are the first level of elements, and their level is higher than that of the other five elements, and the two elements of fire and gold are produced by the decay and decomposition of light, and this may also be the reason why the god of fire was born later than the god of light! Does this also shake the status of the great god of light?
"As for the newly discovered element gold mentioned in my new elemental theory, I don't think there's any need to waste everyone's time by going into details. You are all human beings with incomparable intelligence, and I think you can judge the truth with your own thoughts, right?"
"He lied!" Before Gandra could finish speaking, Koan shouted, "That's not what he originally said!
"Silence, Silence, Ke An, your time for speaking has passed, don't make a loud noise!" After stopping Ke An, Mirio said again: "Now, please give the floor to the witness of the defense, Her Royal Highness Princess Linya of the Red Leaf Empire." ”
It's up to yourself. Linya was fully prepared, and walked out with confidence in Alice's encouraging eyes. At the moment of beauty, everyone suddenly felt that our little beauty Linya had come to the witness stand under the escort of Namia and Susanna, and the greedy eyes of the crowd stared at it together, it was really annoying!
"I, Linya Landis Sevia, swear to the great God of Light that everything I say is the truth, and that I will take responsibility for what I have said with my life and the glory of our empire! While I was studying magic at the Haitian Academy of Magic, I was appreciated by the Grand Magna Gandra and became his personal disciple, learning water magic from him. In his long-term practice of magic, Gandra discovered a new element, the gold element, which is decomposed by the decay of the light element under certain conditions, and it cannot exist independently, but must be attached to other elements, which is why there are seven elements in the world but only six gods. In order to discuss this lower element, which is decomposed from the light element, Sensei Gandra decided to convene a meeting of the highest level of the wizarding world. This was supposed to be just an academic discussion in the wizarding world, but some people with ulterior motives have used it to attack the highly respected teacher Gandra in the wizarding world! Could it be that the light elemental theory propagated by Gandra is actually belittling the great god of light? Please make your own judgment!"
"Lying! she's lying, too!" Korn couldn't help but cry out again, but saw that Mirio was about to eat him, so he had to shrink back again.
"I'm Char Kuko, and I'm currently the captain of the First Team of the Second Regiment of the Knights Templar in the Inquisition of Light. I went to the Haitian Magic Academy this time to arrest a person who is suspected of learning and using dark magic without authorization - the personal disciple of Ke'an Magister and the prince of the Bright Moon Empire, ......"
"This matter has nothing to do with this case!" Ke An shouted again: "These are two things at all, there is no need to get involved!"
This old guy is really annoying!Mirio angrily slapped the judge's hammer and warned: "Quiet and quiet!Ke An, if you make any more noise in the court, I will expel you and deal with you for disturbing the law and order!" Ke An swallowed and shrank back, he seemed to have understood the relationship between this Miglio and Linya's gang, and his face was full of indignation.
"When I came to the Haitian Academy of Magic, I learned that Ke An's personal disciple Roffett had been expelled from the Academy of Magic by Dean Gandra because he was good at learning and using dark magic on his own, and that Roffett had fled back to the Bright Moon Empire. Char continued, adding to the words "Ke'an's personal disciple" and "expelled by Dean Gandra", no one else was a fool, and of course he could understand what he meant. Ke An's face was green, and Linya looked at it from the side, hum, old guy, what about you!
"As I was about to return to Miris, Koan came to me and told me that someone was spreading heresy and had told me about Gandra - I did not dare to take this lightly, so I investigated it and came to the conclusion that it had been heard that the Grand Magister Gandra had discovered a new element, which had decayed and decomposed from the element of light, the element of gold, and that the element of light could be broken down into two other elements, fire and gold, under certain special conditions. I did not dare to take matters into my own hands, so I took Gandra back to Millis and handed it over to the Court of Light to decide. That's what I've experienced firsthand. ”
"You're all lying! You've already colluded to deceive people! You, and you......" Ke An couldn't help but exclaim. There was a chorus of boos from the crowd, and with a wave of Mirio's hand in disgust, two bailiffs rushed up and shoved Koan's pesky guy out. Hehe, the world is finally quiet now.
"I'm Camillo, a fire magician, an archmage, one of the participants in this magical academic conference. This is some of the specific information that I and the Magus have compiled about Gandra's New Elemental Theory, and you can judge with your own eyes whether there are any statements that are suspected of blaspheming the great god of light. That's all you see now. There is also a petition signed by the other twelve Magisters present at the meeting, hoping that the Holy See will not listen to the rumors and restore Gandra's innocence. Gandra was the most respected elder in the wizarding world, and his study of magic and his thirst for truth were worthy of the admiration of any of us, but he was now treated extremely unjustly! We could not find any reason to prove what meant to him that Gandra had spread the so-called heresy, but that some people with ulterior motives were acting extremely suspiciously! Would you like to believe the words of one man, or the words of all thirteen others? Honorable Judges, members of the jury, I am sure that you will have a fair verdict, right?"
"The statements of the witnesses have now ended. Jurors, you have seen the evidence, you have heard the arguments between the two sides, do you have a decision now?" asked Mirio.
"Yes, Your Honor, our jury is now unanimous on this case. The lead juror stood up and said.
"Very well, then we will adjourn the court for fifteen minutes, and wait until the court has heard the jury's opinion before making a final verdict!" Miglio struck the judge's hammer again.
A qiē is very smooth, and this matter is finally going to be understood. A farce is finally coming to an end.
"Teacher Gandra, you'll be fine, you've made you suffer!" Linya said guiltily as she came to Gandra's side.
"Your Royal Highness, please don't say that, you haven't done anything wrong, it's just this world, the dirty world. Gandra sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that I would stand in the dock of the Inquisition one day and accept the judgment of light?!"
"You're fine. It's a pity, that truth ......" Linya couldn't help but shake her head.
"This is how the true truth is often buried!"
"yes......" Linya sighed. Wasn't there an astronomer named Bruno who was burned alive by the Inquisition for publishing the heliocentric theory? Alas, Gandra's fate was lucky......
After the witness testimony of the prosecution and defense, the jury has unanimously concluded that Gandra's new elemental magic theory does not blaspheme the great god of light, and now I declare Gandra not guilty and released on behalf of the court of light!"
The crowd cheered, and Linya finally breathed a sigh of relief, with a big smile on her face. As the crowd gathered around Gandra and was about to disperse, a guard hurried in, ran to the judge's seat, and said to Milio: "Your Excellency, someone just sent something that says it is a very important piece of evidence related to this case!"
Mirio said: "This case has been decided, there is no need for any evidence!" The guard said: "But the person who delivered the things said that he must let the judge open it himself, otherwise it will be the greatest blasphemy against the God of Light!"
Mirio couldn't help frowning, he had taken out the name of the god of light to suppress people, and it was impossible not to look at it. Mirio took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a small magic stone, a magic recording stone.
What could it be?, Milio injected magic into the Magic Recording Stone, activating it, and a voice came from the Recording Stone:
"Sister Alice, the world of God is not what you think. In fact, there is no so-called existence of God in this world, no matter what god of light or darkness, there is no existence of zài, this qiē is just the sustenance of the spirit imagined by human beings. There is only one god in this universe, and that is the God of creation, the God of the creation of this world!"
Lynn ...... Sister Linya, you're kidding, aren't you?"
