Inside the courtroom, there was a commotion.

Priest Thorndike, on the other hand, stood up from the witness seat next to Priest Theodore, wearing a black moon temple priest's robe, his hair loose, and a meniscus on his forehead, making him look religious.

Two other priests sat beside him.

The priest of Thorndike stood up, looked up at the circle, coughed lightly, and then said to the presiding judge with great calm:

"Judge, I'm ready."

After saying this, Priest Thorndike also raised his head to look at Grand Priest Reed, and even stared at Roy deeply.

The presiding judge, holding the hanging basket in both hands, stood opposite the priest Thorndike, and asked him:

"Priest Thorndike, someone saw that you had been in contact with Peleus the Dead in the lower city, what do you have to explain?"

For a while, many elves in the Inquisition were discussing, causing chaos in the Inquisition.

The Thorndike priest blinked, and said confidently:

"No, I was just passing through that alley in the lower town and didn't know about Peleus's death......"

As soon as these words came out, Grand Priest Reed couldn't help but look up at Priest Thorndike.

The court room was also suddenly quiet, and everyone was very eager to hear the next question, and in an instant the courtroom was quiet again.

The presiding judge was also a little uncomfortable, but he still tightened his face and asked the priest of Thorndike:

"Priest Thorndike, can you tell me how you got this Holy Grail of Wisdom?"

The Thorndike priest immediately said, "This chalice is hidden in a drainage canal in the lower city......"

When he saw that the Inquisition was quiet, he paused for a moment, propped his hands on the table, and leaned forward:

"When I was passing by that alley, I accidentally stepped on the stone slab of the drainage canal, and I was going to scoop it up and put it on the side of the canal, but I didn't expect to find the Holy Grail of Wisdom from the depths of the canal, and then I took it to the treehouse of Master Claire Latin."

The presiding judge stared at Priest Thorndike and asked:

"Since you are a witness, what evidence do you have that Priest Theodore killed Peleus?"

Priest Thorndike spread his hands outstretched, shook his head and explained to the presiding judge:

"I can't prove that Priest Theodore killed Peleus, I am only here to prove that Priest Theodore agreed to the conditions put forward by me and Master Clare Latin in order to recover the Holy Grail of Wisdom!"

"At that time, I was in the treehouse of Master Claire Latin, and I happened to meet Priest Theodore who was doing Holy Light healing for Master Claire Latin."

"Priest Theodore wants me to give him the Holy Grail of Wisdom, and I hope that he can use the Holy Grail of Wisdom to cure Master Claire Latin's illness, so we have this agreement: as long as Priest Theodore is willing to treat Master Claire Latin, whether in life or death, we will finally give the Holy Grail of Wisdom to Priest Theodore."

"In fact, we have kept our promise and returned the Holy Grail of Wisdom to Priest Theodore."

The presiding judge waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet again.

Then the presiding judge came to Priest Theodore and asked Priest Theodore, "Priest Theodore, do you agree with this statement of Priest Thorndike?" ”

Priest Theodore's hoarse voice responded:

"I agree!"

"So do you have any objections to this trial?"

The presiding judge flew over the heads of all the elves and asked in a loud voice to everyone.

The surroundings became silent......

Now that Master Claire Latin is dead, and Priest Theodore has confessed his guilt, there are no other witnesses to show that Priest Thorndike and Master Claire Latin were involved.

In this way, the Thorndike priest turned out to be a witness.

And the only thing he did wrong was to give the Holy Grail of Wisdom to Priest Theodore.

Even if it was such a thing, the dead Master Claire Latin would still be jointly responsible with him, so the presiding judge did not continue to question other witnesses.

After a slow turn in the courtroom three times, he stopped again:

"Then please give the final verdict of the arbitration committee!"

This is a bit of a long time, and everyone can only sit in their places and wait patiently.

The members of the arbitration committee had a heated discussion in private, probably because there were different voices among them.

After arguing for a long time, the presiding judge suddenly flew over everyone's heads, and then stood in the hanging basket and announced:

"In view of the identity of the deceased Peleus, and the fact that Priest Theodore, as a priest of the Temple of Liberty, had the right to recover the lost chalice, although he accidentally killed Pelus during the dispute, this situation is excusable, so the arbitration committee finally decided to convict Priest Theodore of killing Peleus, and Priest Theodore will serve 50 years in prison on the island of Pallam."

Roy didn't expect a trial to end like this......

It was obviously the conspiracy of the Priest Thorndike, Master Claire Latin and Priest Theodore, and in the end, the Priest of Thorndike killed Peleus and Windsor, but now it has become the priest Theodore who chased down the thief who stole the Holy Grail and accidentally killed him.

Therefore, the arbitrators did not consider the matter to be serious.

Since Priest Theodore undertook it with all his might, this trial went exceptionally smoothly, and even the sentence imposed on Priest Theodore was very light......

Master Claire Latin and Priest Thorndike were not even implicated.

……

After the trial, Grand Priest Reed's face was a little ugly.

He didn't raise any questions in the courtroom, but walked out of the courtroom with Jasper, Abt and Roy in line.

As soon as everyone walked out of the Inquisition, they saw the Thorndike priest standing at the door of the Inquisition, and beside him stood a row of priests of the Moon Temple, and under the shade of the Tree of Life, the Thorndike priest looked proud.

Seeing Grand Priest Reed coming out of the hall, he took the initiative to say hello with a smug smile on his face:

"Anyway, Grand Priest Reed, I want to congratulate you, the Holy Grail of Wisdom has finally been recovered."

With that, Priest Thorndike stretched out a hand to Archpriest Reed, wanting to shake his hand.

But the Grand Priest of Reed had a cold face at this time, and said to him:

"I don't know what price you used to convince Theodore, but let's be honest...... I kind of regret that I should have let you stay at the Statue of Liberty when you came to me that day......"

Priest Thorndike's face changed slightly when he heard Archpriest Reed say this.

No longer getting into the fun of self-pleading, the smile suddenly froze on his face, looking very embarrassed.

Roy, Jasper, and Abt walked past him, and the Thorndike priest didn't look at them again.

When Roy boarded the carriage, he was still thinking about the verdict of the arbitration committee, and he didn't want to kill a half-blood elf with a history of theft, but he only needed to be imprisoned for fifty years.

No matter how you look at it, this trial smacks of conspiracy.

Moreover, Windsor's death was not brought up in this trial, as if no one had heard of the name at all......
