Chapter 191: The Judgment of the Legend
Pendleton calmly faced the whispers around him, knowing from the beginning that this would be the case.
The official trial begins.
Bald and Garrett, the presiding judge, were already in place, and Parson III and Isaac, the powerful people of the Bart Kingdom, were at the forefront, silently watching the trial.
"About the terrible man-made disaster that occurred in the city of Gorin on the 15th two months ago.
Pendleton, you, Hillilede, and the three-headed dragon's battle left 7,320 dead and 3,456 disabled.
Please tell me what happened...... "Garrett said, holding the dossier.
"I was chasing the murderer of the massacre in Poseron City, and I happened to meet ...... in the city," Pendleton recounts slowly.
"At that time, you only intervened to stop Heliride from fighting with the strange black dragon in the city, which caused a misunderstanding and broke out into a full-scale battle.
Since you know that it will cause misunderstanding, why do you want to make a move, the purpose of the two-headed dragon is Hillyride, and from your description, it has been said that the other party does not want to fight you.
The end result is that your conflict continues to escalate, which eventually leads to the disaster of the city of Gaoling. ”
Garrett stared at Pendleton with his eyes and continued to ask, "Why stop the other party, Heliride is about to be killed, because your action will lead to more serious consequences." ”
"I'm going to take him back to Pocellon to be punished, where Hillierride has committed a crime, and naturally he will have to pay it back there. Pendleton's deep voice said, "As I pondered, Hillyled was once again fighting the black dragon, which was unexpected. ”
That being the case, you don't deny that it was your mistakes that led to the current result. ”
Garrett asked sharply, "Because of your stupid ideas, tens of thousands of casualties have been caused. You know how much of a sin you have committed. ”
"I know!" Pendleton did not deny the disaster caused by his own negligence: "I will be responsible for my stupid actions." ”
"Be responsible, so many people have died, what are you responsible for?" someone in the audience said excitedly, it was the victim of Gao Lincheng: "The dead cannot be resurrected, why do you live in this world, you should apologize with death." ”
These words instantly resonated with many people in the audience, who demanded that Garrett sentence Pendleton to death.
......
With the help of remote perceptual sharing, the three Horn brothers watched the Temple of Justice on Pendleton's trial.
"It's really inexplicable to the dragon. Mio said with confusion: "That person is obviously outrageously strong, why should he accept the judgment of those weak people, with his strength, he can escape, but he willingly accepts everything." ”
Hua Ye and Mio, who grew up in the environment of the Starlight Forest, are extremely puzzled by the behavior of humans.
This is the belief of mankind, and the teachings of Tyre, the god of justice, advocate equality and justice, and as his follower, Pendleton is naturally deeply affected.
Just like us, the law of the jungle seems to us to be a matter of course.
Different worlds have different rules, and the people who live in them will naturally follow the rules, and of course there are those who break the rules, but they are exceptionally different among them.
Like necromancers, they don't conform to subjective trends, so they are wanted, and all people take their death for granted and take pride in killing them. ”
"The five-colored dragon has a similar concept to us, following the law of the jungle. That's why there are so many dragons that rob the towns of the human world.
In their eyes, it all takes place as it should be.
The concept of metal dragons is generally biased towards justice and goodness, believing that the five-colored dragons that break the rules and cause killings are heretical, hostile to each other, and do not like each other.
Of course, it is also mixed with the influence of the dragon gods of both sides. ”
With the help of shared perception, Horn looked at the Temple of Justice and the king of the kingdom of Bato, who were talking in a low voice, not knowing what they were talking to due to the barrier between them.
But Horn is sure that Pendleton will be punished but will definitely not be put to death.
Throughout the world of Nadatali, legendary-level powerhouses are rarely really executed when they accept sanctions, and this world is a world that only looks at strength after all.
If Pendleton had subjectively caused the disaster in Gaolin City, he would have been besieged to death by the people of the Temple of Justice, and he would have taken the head of the other party to announce to the world the determination of the Temple of Justice to fight evil.
Pendleton, on the other hand, unconsciously fell into the casualties of the city, albeit in order to stop the destruction of the city by Hillier Ride and Warnight.
But in Nadattali's world, there is an unwritten rule among the strong, and in order to fight evil, a large number of ordinary people are killed and injured, and they can be sentenced to not guilty or lightly sentenced, depending on the cause of the matter.
In order to protect the legendary powerhouse of the righteous side, after all, this multiverse is not peaceful.
There are often strong people from different planes wandering around, and there are some evil beings or demons from the abyss and demons from hell.
In the face of these terrible existences, it is natural to keep the legendary powerhouses in this world to deal with the disasters that may arise at any time.
To put it bluntly, the legendary powerhouse has the privilege of killing, and within an acceptable range, it will not be affected too much.
If you are afraid of being punished, who will exterminate those evil beings who flow from the different planes, and the harm caused by each fear will be even more terrifying.
The reason why Pendleton was punished was mainly because of the dogma of the Temple of Justice, and because the three brothers were behind the scenes, so that the Temple of Justice had to put this matter on the bright side.
If it weren't for them, there would be a high probability that this matter would have been turned into a small one.
Pendleton may repent for self-blame and other reasons, trying to make amends for the sins he has committed, but he will never solve it in person.
The final judgment was much the same as Horn had imagined.
Garrett read out the final verdict: "Whereas Pendleton caused this tragedy in order to stop the battle between Hilliled and the Black Dragon. The culprits are Heliride and the three black dragons.
After deliberation between the Temple of Justice and His Majesty Palson, Pendleton was punished as follows:
Deprive Pendleton of the position of head of the Fifth Paladin of the Temple of Justice, and deprive him of the pale justice of using the Holy Sword.
Pendleton was to be exiled to the Void for thirty years as a guard.
Similarly, the Temple of Justice will make an all-out crusade against Hilliled and make him apologize for the dead victims.
Three unknown black dragons will be wanted by the Temple of Justice to pay for their actions. ”
