Chapter 37: Judgment
"I forgot to tell you. I smeared poison on the dagger. This poison is very punishing. When it seeps into the human bloodstream, it will hide, and then it will attack at the time that the detoxifier wants, for example, do you feel the pain in your neck like a knife cut now" Gaia slowly recounted, how could he easily let this guy leave alive if he wanted to escape, when Gaia was in the Warcraft Mountain Range, he often smeared poison on the weapon to hunt Warcraft, and it was impossible for Gaia not to use such a simple assassination technique.
Lenny's face turned pale, the flash of pain from the tip of his neck just now was not an illusion at all, and then the sharp pain like a knife blade came again, he immediately pressed his neck with his hand, but he felt some black viscous liquid, "Blood actually leaked out of those gauze before I knew it."
Lenny looked horrified at the black blood on his hands, which had rapidly evaporated between his hands and corroded his skin at the same time.
The blood on his neck was flowing more and more, and Lenny wanted to flee but his body didn't listen to his command, and then the pain that pierced the bone marrow came from every position, and it was like countless poisonous snakes burrowing into his body and gnawing at his bones, blood, and flesh.
Yuzu wanted to call for help from the people outside, but those people had already been pushed away by him, and he came this time to torture Gaia, and he specifically told the people guarding outside not to pay attention to any screams they heard. But it was not Gaia who wailed in pain, it was himself. As for the guards outside, it was certainly impossible to tell whether the scream belonged to a prisoner or a bishop's son.
Gaia coldly looked at the corpse that was flowing with black solution, and directly opened the space bracelet, allowing the Phantom Fire Leopard to drag him into the space and incinerate the corpse with black flames.
The Kuba bracelet on Gaia's hand was engraved on his wrist with colorful patterns, and Pandeg didn't know that he still had a space bracelet when he imprisoned Gaia in this cell, not to mention that in the bishop's opinion, no matter what equipment Gaia had, he would not be able to get out of this prison where even a saint-level powerhouse could trap him.
However, Pandeg didn't know that this incomparably strong cell was nothing more than a papier-mâché for Gaia, as long as Gaia opened the space bracelet and took out this dagger, and then gently fired on the shackles, the chains that imprisoned him would be cut off like a layer of mud, and after taking off the shackles, the magic array under his feet also became an ornament, as for the three layers of enchantments that even saint-level powerhouses could not break, for Gaia, it was like a membrane that could be penetrated at will.
Gaia didn't plan to escape now, his original plan of revenge was interrupted by Mesa, and he wanted to give it up. Wait until you are stronger. However, Pandege brought him back, so the revenge plan can only continue, albeit a bit risky"
Of course, in order to carry out this plan, he had to rely on the dagger that Fei Ze gave him, and this "head is made of no known material, and even ignores any amount of enchantment." It's kind of a big alliance for Gaia.
On the third day, under much pressure, Pandege had to publicly hold the burning ceremony of Gaia at the stake in Legas, the largest square in the imperial capital. Although Pandege was a bishop, he also did not have the right to execute any religious prisoner without permission. The execution of any prisoner must be accompanied by the reading of evidence of his or her guilt, followed by various executions in public. Pandeg knew that there would be quite a few people who would escort Gaia. He had to send so many members of the temple to seal it off so that no one could have a chance to kidnap him.
The nine men who entered the forbidden land of the gods represented the nine strongest men of the younger generation in Zacharia. The news that the Temple of Rosa was going to execute one of them soon spread throughout the imperial capital, and many forces did not know that Gaia, the hero of the Forbidden Land, had returned, but the man who had been honored by the Empire after his death suddenly became a heretic. It also affirms the veracity of this rumor",
The fire frame in the center of the square was very high, and Gaia, who was burned at the stake, was at the top of the fire frame, and from this angle Gaia could see the Templars and temple guards who surrounded the entire Plaza de Legas in the square, and there were more than a hundred inquisitors riding silver birds in the air, and these temple guards blocked the crowd from a certain range.
These people had no idea who the executioner was, but to burn a heretic, so many guards were dispatched, and even the fire frame was piled up nearly a hundred meters high, which naturally aroused their curiosity, and the number of people also increased.
Archaeus and some important figures of the Holy Academy appeared on the high platform of the square, and Michael the Great, who rarely appeared in public in the royal empire, actually sat on the highest position, next to the dragon knight Jang and the soothsayer Mera. Marshal Kailang was in the position below, and the emaciated Meisha was pinned down by two fiery warriors.
"Pandeger. Your courage is commendable. Michael the Great glanced at Bishop Pandeger, who was standing in the middle of the platform, and said in a very strange tone.
"It's funny how so many people would come to watch the execution of one person, Your Majesty. Janger and Mera, you all know whose child he is, so what is your attitude?" asked Pandeger, in a calm tone.
"It's your religious vendetta Mera closed her eyes, but her somewhat cloudy eyes still looked at Gaia, who was chained to the top of the elevated highway, and said some strange magic spells to herself.
"Forgive me for my suspicions about your wait-and-see mentality," Pandeg smiled strangely. Then he glanced at Marshal Kailang, who was sitting there like a rock, and said to him, "Kailang, Ling Ai is a headache for my bishop
"I'm not going to interfere. Kai Lang replied without any emotion, the first sword master of the empire did not have a very good attitude towards Bishop Pandeger, and did not seem to like the old guy's coy appearance.
"Your daughter will naturally be light-hearted. Pandeg smiled again.
"Exemption from punishment. Kai Lang said coldly. The punishment of the contract amount is in the hands of the Pope, and the Pope will not easily use the contract to punish such a crime that does not anger the gods, but will hand it over to the bishop to punish in the ordinary way.
"Nothing more than the removal of her chief priesthood.
Pandeg glanced at a Templar who had come to deliver the message, and nodded, gesturing for what he was about to say
"Lord Bishop, there is no Vice-Judge Lenny anywhere," said one of the inquisitors, half-kneeling before Pandeg.
Lenny never came out of his cell that day. The guards outside didn't notice this detail either, as the deputy judge had an odd personality. Who knows if he left through the other exit, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Bishop Pandege also knew that there was something wrong with his son's life style, so he naturally thought that he had gone to a tavern in the imperial capital for the past two days, but he had not appeared for so long, and he couldn't help but have a sense of foreboding.
"Longole, hasn't he been in the Hall of Judgment for the past two days?" said Pandeg, still a little worried≡ the presiding judge next to him.
The presiding judge shook his head and said, "He often doesn't return to the temple for three or four days, there's nothing to make a fuss about, you better keep an eye on here, I already feel a lot of aura wriggling around." It is likely to be the masters of the Dian Dan Sect, although they don't know that this Gaia is the person they are looking for, but they seem to care about him very much. ”
"Lankani is there or not. Pandeg asked in a low voice. Lankani is a former pope. If he didn't care about the Temple of Rosa to save Gaia, no one would be able to stop him except the current Pope Fama.
"No, the Pope did not come, did you get permission from the Pope for this order? The presiding judge asked, although they have the power to execute this person without the consent of the pope, but if the pope also approves of the bishop's approach, the turmoil caused by the time will be easily suppressed.
The arrogant emperor didn't say anything, but I understood what he meant: this Gaia is too involved, and the Diangeng Sect has not yet noticed it, and he must be executed, otherwise there will be endless troubles. "Pandege had planned to kill Gaia in secret, but the news of Gaia's captivity had already been known to Lankani and Gucius.
With Lankani here, the bishop would not dare to execute Gaia secretly, because in that case, Lankani would be able to put pressure on the temple, and his bishop's position would likely be shaken. Bishop Pandeg managed to climb to this position, so naturally he would not do such a risky thing, and could only burn Gaia at the stake in public, so that Lankani would not be able to defend him.
It was already noon, and the trial before the stake had begun. The bishop who carried out the burning at the stake slowly flew to the elevated stake and read aloud to Gaia: "Kill Rodica in the temple." Gaia, you can plead guilty!"
"Hmph, no evidence!" Gaia replied in almost the same voice, even now. At the stake of more than a thousand Templars and Temple Guards, there was still no fear in his eyes.
"Break into the temple of sin and steal the important historical cake of the temple. Gaia, you can plead guilty!" Bishop Pandege continued to read his guilt.
"After the assassination attempt on Deputy Judge Lenny three nights ago, killing fifty Templars, forty Temple guards, and five verdicts, killing nearly a hundred Templars, Gaia, you can plead guilty!" Bishop Pandeg was still reading aloud, as if to make the voice heard.
"It's ridiculous, ten years ago you slaughtered twenty villages in the Lalis Mountains, nearly two thousand lives, compared to this crime, Bishop Pandege of the Temple of Rosa, how should you be punished!!" Gaia's voice also resounded in the square.
For a while, there was a lot of commotion on and off the field, but the majority of people were skeptical, and in the eyes of these people, how could the dignified Bishop of the Temple of Rosa do such a unconscionable thing.
In the face of Gaia's anger, Pandeg was unmoved, as if everything Gaia said was just nonsense
"Pandeger, there is no evidence of what happened to Rojka, and it cannot be relied on alone, unless the other four people testify against Gaia at the same time, and there is no evidence of the theft of historical materials, and although the murder of nearly a hundred members of the temple is a serious crime, the merit of the deeds made in the forbidden place can be completely lenient, and the punishment should be a permanent imprisonment, so why should you burn him at the stake. Gusius finally stood up and spoke for Gaia.
The burning at the stake was to punish heretics and those who betrayed the faith of the Temple of Rosa, as Eutheus said. Gaia's judgment was to be held in the lowest part of the temple of sin, according to the laws of the temple.
Several important figures in the royal empire had their eyes on Pandeg, apparently pressuring the bishop.
"Of course there is a reason to burn his body and soul!" said Pandeger, who was indeed a ruler of faith in the eyes of the people.
"The last sin: practicing magic without making a contract with any god indicates that your soul has been sold to the devil, and you are no longer a child of any god in the continent of Eden, but a servant of this righteous devil, a true heretic! Gaia, you can confess!"
This sentence immediately caused a sensation in the square. No one expected that Gaia would be a magician who had not signed a contract with any gods!
Not only in the newspaper Galiah, the entire Eden continent is unlikely to be in this situation, a magician who has not signed a contract with the gods, this alone violates the rules designated by the gods of the entire Eden continent, which completely violates the rules of this world, and even more angers the gods...
Gaia didn't expect Pandeg to list this crime as well, practicing magic without signing a contract is indeed blasphemous, any religion can be regarded as a heretic, so he probably has no place in the continent of Eden, because the continent of Eden is a territory given by God. The gods are real, and those who are familiar with the religious laws will know that magic without a contract is the most intolerable to the gods, and such people must be burned at the stake!
"Do you want to add to the crime? Misho of Nick Academy has already pointed out that you don't have a contract, so what else do you have to quibble. Pandeg said sharply, waving his hand, and sure enough, two Templars in the square slowly walked up to the high platform with an old man.
Looking at the old man Gaia, he was stunned, that old man was the mage of Nick Academy, Mixiu, and it was this person who led him on the path of a mage. At this time, he would never have imagined that Pandeg would actually bring him here in such a short period of time and serve as a testimony that he did not sign a contract!
