160. Thorndike's trial 2

Thorndike turned his head to look at Roy and Archpriest Reed and said:

"The Grail of Wisdom was stolen from the Temple of Liberty by Peleus, and I, Theodore, and Claire Radin - the three of us jointly entrusted the Darkmoon Elf Jefferson with this, and he left the matter to his men, but unfortunately before the Grail of Wisdom could reach Jefferson's hands, he died."

He paused, looked at the elven rangers who were sitting and listened, and said with a kind of ostentation in his eyes:

"When we found out that the Holy Grail of Wisdom was in Peleus' possession, we looked for him everywhere. As it turned out, my guess was accurate! ”

The presiding judge hesitated, but still asked:

"Tell me why you took the Holy Grail of Wisdom?"

This time Thorndike became even more hesitant, and let him bow his head and ponder for a moment, before he said in a deep voice:

"When the Holy Radiance can't shine on the Elven Continent, the Holy Grail of Wisdom with a trace of divinity attached to it becomes particularly important in the eyes of that group of priests, in order to weaken the strength of the Liberty Temple, I want to take the Holy Grail and cause chaos within the Liberty Temple, and it is best to completely rot and disintegrate from the inside."

His voice grew higher and higher, and when he finally looked up and opened his eyes, his eyes were bright.

Like a speaker, he spread his hands, raised his head with some pride, and said to the elves who were listening around him:

"So...... I've been successful, haven't I? ”

While the surrounding elves were in an uproar, the faces of the priests of the Moon Temple who came to the trial became extremely ugly.

The presiding judge flew in front of him, eager to gag his mouth, and at the same time scolded:

"Thorndike, you need to answer my questions and don't get involved in anything else."

Thorndike was silent for a moment, and agreed:

"Yes, Presiding Judge."

The elves who are hearing are almost frying......

I didn't expect that Thorndike, the former priest of the Moon Temple, would tell so many secrets related to the Moon Temple.

At this time, the presiding judge also felt that if he did not change the topic, maybe this trial would turn into a farce.

So he immediately made a decision, and then asked Thorndike:

"Silvermoon Elf Thorndike, do you admit to killing the half-blood elf Windsor on the night of July 11th?"

Thorndike also seemed to have some kind of fear in his heart, and when he was quiet, he became very honest:

"I'll admit it, I killed Windsor."

Evidently pleased with this answer, the presiding judge nodded, commanded the vine, and shoved him in front of Thorndike, whose wrinkled face was almost on Thorndike's, and said to him:

"Thorndike, please tell me about the murder of Windsor."

Thorndike's eyes were again mired in a kind of memory, and his throat even swallowed:

"Windsor is Peleus's sister, and after Peleus's death, we learned that an elf had secretly hired a thief's guild to investigate Peleus's death, and in fact, we also knew that the guards had been investigating this matter, and Windsor had also found out that I had been at the scene of Peleus's death on the day Peleus died, and she was going to report it to the guards, so I found her place of work - Castleton Library."

His originally rickety body stood straight again.

"It was late, and there weren't any elves in the library reading books. I took her to the third floor of the library, where I was a priest of the Temple of the Moon and had the right to go to the third floor of the library to look up materials. ”

"When she came to the third floor, I used moonlight hypnosis on her, and then controlled her to go to the terrace of the outer cloister and made her jump off the terrace on the third floor."

When he said the last sentence, he raised his hands like a conductor in a concert.

“……”

A copper water glass arced and slammed into Thorndike's forehead with precision, smashing a hole in his forehead.

A strange scene appeared, Thorndike's wound turned out to be pale, and the flesh was turned outward, but no blood could be seen flowing out.

"Stone him, smash this demon, he is the demon who crawled out of hell......"

"Put her in prison and let him dig in the hole for the rest of her life......"

There was an angry roar from the surrounding hearing seats.

The elves, too, did not care about grace and grace, and yelled at Thorndike and cursed him to hell.

Roy knew that Thorndike was completely finished this time.

He also saw the three Moon Temple priests sitting in the hearing seat, and at the same time left the table with black faces......

This time the Temple of the Moon was very embarrassed by Thorndike.

It is estimated that the half-blood elves who are hearing the trial in the Inquisition this time will definitely tell their friends what happened here today, and the prestige of the Moon Temple will definitely be greatly reduced in the eyes of these elves.

The toss was made by a librarian, a colleague and best friend of Windsor, who stood in the hearing table and pointed at Thorndike and cursed.

Eventually, he was forced to leave by the elven guards of the Inquisition......

There was chaos in the courtroom.

The witnesses who followed said little about Thorndike's misdeeds.

In fact, there were no witnesses to what Priest Thorndike did.

If he hadn't said it himself, no one would have known at all.

I just don't know how the guards did it.

Priest Thorndike probably angered the arbitrators, so they set the maximum sentence this time, and Thorndike will be held in Pallam Island Prison for 200 years.

True, the sentence for priest Theodore was fifty years, while Thorndike, who was stripped of his priesthood, was to be in prison for two hundred years.

In fact, there are some reasons for this:

Theodore's murder of Peleus belongs to the temple priest to track down the stolen Grail of Wisdom, and accidentally kills the thief on the way.

But Thorndike's killing of Peleus changed in a moment, and it became a premeditated theft and murder, in which the mastermind killed people after the theft was successful......

And after this trial, the mastermind of the Holy Grail theft of wisdom suddenly became three people: Theodore Priest, Thorndike, and Master Claire Latin, who was already lying in the grave.

Although Master Claire Latin lay in the grave and couldn't get up, this time the artistic aura on his body may be much dimmer, at least it will leave the darkest mark in his glorious life.

Although Theodore's identity as a murderer has been cleared, he is still very disgraceful in this matter.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations......

Archpriest Reed left the Inquisition without saying a word.

He didn't even ask Priest Theodore if he would have his sentence commuted because of this.

Roy followed Grand Priest Reed out of the Inquisition, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds outside, and the statue of the elf warrior in the Heroes' Square pointing at the endless sea in the distance.

……

About 3,800 meters from the statue in Heroes' Square, at 9 Edward Avenue in the lower part of the city, is a humble drink shop that sells simple iced drinks, the most famous of which is the fruit smoothie.

In the summer, there are people lining up to buy ice almost from morning to night.

Leaning into a seat in the corner, Abt and Wizard Benjamin had a great conversation......

"Look, these charts were all in the hands of me and the other captains, many of the islands marked on the charts are unique, because the routes are different, the other captains don't know which islands at all, now these charts are in front of you, you can even put all the charts together to form the most complete chart of the Endless Sea."

Wizard Benjamin placed a stack of parchment charts in front of Abt and spoke to him with great interest.

Abt's eyes widened as if there was a table of delicacies before him, and he salivated through the delicate charts and said to Benjamin:

"Wales, are these all charts of the Endless Sea? How did you get so many charts with shipping routes? It's a pity I only have half a treasure map in my hand......"

"You can start by comparing these charts with half a treasure map, and pick out the ones that are similar."

Wizard Benjamin suggested to Abt.

"Well, that's all there is to it now."

Abt didn't take his eyes off the charts as he spoke.

Benjamin smiled along, but didn't say anything more, just took a leisurely sip of lemon fruit tea.

……

For Benjamin, he just wants to return to the Roland Continent......

So he needed a big ship that could cross the oceans.

But with his ability, it was impossible to buy such a big ship in the elven world.

He ventured to Castletown and probed the harbor for a long time before his eyes fell on the Black Pearl, which ran aground on the beach on the west side of the harbor docks......

After much inquiry, Benjamin finally learned that the owner of the ship was actually the three probationary priests of the Statue of Liberty.

And they have now converted the ship into a beach holiday home......

For a seafarer, Benjamin felt that they were destroying the heavens.

He had gone to see the ship, and it was even better than the original Kumquat, except for the fact that the main mast was very much in danger, the main keel was not damaged in the slightest, and many old parts of the hull had been renovated.

When he first arrived on the Black Pearl, he was even a little ecstatic to smell the resin smell of the wood, smell the pungent smell of paint, and see the newly replaced wooden doors and windows.

Wizard Benjamin wants to return to Roland Continent, and this sea ship is just right......

Of course, he knew that such a large sea ship was not enough.

It will take a lot of experienced crew to make this ship cross the Endless Sea, so he also plans to rescue the crew of the Pallam Island Prison.

Of course, the first step is to get the ship.

Looking at Abt in front of him, who was obsessively staring at the chart, Wizard Benjamin's eyes narrowed like a fox.

After successfully approaching Abt, Benjamin discovers that Abt is obsessed with sailing in search of treasure.

So he fell in love with him, and soon became friends with Abt.

From Abt's mouth, Benjamin learned that the ...... who are currently blocking the launch of this big ship into the sea There are also two mountains.

One is a trainee priest named Jasper, and the other is a trainee priest named Roy.

If they didn't agree to the launch of the Black Pearl, Abt wouldn't have been able to push the ship into the sea.

A meow for the Silver Alliance (12/100)
