Chapter 68 The Trial of Tertullian
The day of judgment has come.

Almost everyone in the kingdom could have predicted that this trial was of great significance.

No matter how things go, this trial will determine the crisis of reason that sweeps the kingdom.

The one who was judged was Tertullian, son of the prophet and brother of the king.

Tens of thousands of Logosians gathered outside the palace, waiting for the soldiers to escort Tertullian to the splendid stone palace, to accept the trial presided over by the king and nobles.

Those commoners and slaves who sympathized with Tertullian loved him and shouted the name of the son of the prophet.

Countless people knelt down, told God what happened to Deltullian, prayed for Deltullian's safety, and prayed that this person would be treated fairly.

Tertullian smiled at them, and was escorted by the soldiers to the palace.

And when Tertullian stepped into the vast palace, everything he saw was hatred, hostility, and contempt.

The palace is full of nobles. They used to be powerful elders and wise men. Since the time of King Sabo, they have discussed and decided matters with the king, and they are no exception now.

In the past, the nobles were often arguing about many matters that affected the kingdom, but now it is the opposite. Almost everyone has the same purpose and is united in the hope that Tertullian will be executed to completely suppress this mighty crisis.

King Alesto stood high on the throne. Under the dim light, no one could see his face. In the past, when deciding on the major affairs of the kingdom, Tertullian always stood on his right side, but now, Dell Tullian stood in the position of being judged.

Once Tertullian stood in the center of the palace, the acclaimed king waved his hand calmly, signaling the beginning of the trial.

The representative of the nobles - Bolan, known as the "sage", stood up, and he first praised the holy name of God in accordance with the custom.

This custom is to show that the accuser is on the side of God and that this trial is a trial allowed by God.

"Son of the Prophet,"

"I have three charges against you, riot, treason, and blasphemy."

Boland looked at Tertullian on trial coldly, hating the man in front of him, because he destroyed the order and denied the morality of the Logos people.

Tertullian kept his countenance, as was customary for the interrogatee to be incapable of pleading until the charges had been laid.

"First of all, the riot, Tertullian, the truth is before the eyes of each of us, and no slave will deny that you led them to riot."

"I want to tell you, that is your father's colossal statue, and it is also the prophet's colossal statue. Those slaves built your father's colossal statue on the ground, but you led them to riot. How can you face the prophet Yar?"

Bolan's voice became louder and louder, and the nobles around were agitated by that voice, and reprimands and insults hit Tertullian like a wave.

"Your father's colossus was destroyed, our splendor was destroyed, and all the achievements of the Logos were destroyed by your terrible riot. What can you say about this?!"

Bolan's accusation represents the anger of the nobles. They can see that the entire kingdom is in disorder, and the Logos people are facing a new crisis of rationality. rebellion.

On the throne, King Jalesto's eyes fell directly on Tertullian, and no one could see the king's face.

Under the indignant eyes of everyone, Tertullian spoke slowly.

"Yes, I started a riot."

Tertullian said slowly.

As soon as the words fell, the nobles were extremely excited. The man in front of them was pleading guilty. As long as he did not defend himself, once the three charges were settled, they could execute the source of the riot and solve all the scourges.

"My father's colossus has fallen, our splendor has fallen, the kingdom is falling apart, and the Logos have yet another crisis of reason."

Tertullian seemed to be stating his guilt.

Bolan's hands were trembling slightly. He thought it was a tricky accusation and he needed to do his best, but now it seemed that this descendant of Yar was slowly offering his hands of victory.

The nobles became more and more excited when they heard this, and their emotions became high. Look, even the source of this riot has admitted his guilt. In the name of God, this scourge should be put to death to safeguard our morality!
Tertullian raised his eyes and looked around at the powerful nobles in the palace.

"But I'm going to ask you guys.

To whom is my father's Colossus dedicated? "

Tertullian asked unhurriedly.

Bolan smiled coldly, as if he had expected it, and replied:
"god,"

"Who but the great God can accept this sublime gift?"

Regarding this question, Bolan has long been prepared. If it is dedicated to humans, then there must be loopholes, and only in the name of God can we stand on the commanding heights, and no one can refute.

Looking directly at him calmly, Tertullian asked again:
"Will any Logos shed blood when building this colossal image? Will Logos suffer?"

Bolan listened to another question, which seemed to have nothing to do with the previous one, so he said directly:

"Blood and suffering are inevitable, but for God, everything is necessary.

son of the prophet,

Have you forgotten the grace of God? "

Deltullian listened to Boland's rhetorical question, then looked around at the nobles, and said again:

"God said:"

"'You worship me with blood, do you want me to pay you back with blood? You worship me with disasters, do you want me to pay you back with disasters?'"

"The colossal image dedicated to the gods made people shed blood and suffer on the ground, and even let disasters befall the Logos people."

"tell me,

Who on earth has forgotten God’s grace, who is trying to replace God’s words with his own words? ! "

The aristocrats in the palace fell from the rage to the bottom of silence in an instant.

The people present judged Tertullian in the name of God, but now they are tortured by Tertullian.

"You say that this colossus is dedicated to the gods, then this is undoubtedly a sacrifice! If you admit that the Logos shed blood, then this is undoubtedly a sacrifice!"

"That was a sinful burnt offering. Man is the son of God, how could God be willing to see man shed blood on the ground?! Why do you dedicate your sins to the gods?!

You see it as splendor, but it is the flesh and blood of the Son of God. "

"We riot, we rise, not because we disobeyed God,

It is because you have betrayed God, and you have enslaved us who are also sons of God!And sacrifice to God the colossal image stained with our flesh and blood! "

Tertullian's spirit suddenly changed, and his voice was resounding, shaking the hearts of everyone present.

Bolan, known as a sage, faced Tertullian's loud cry. Among the people present, except for King Alesto who was sitting in the dark, he was the first to come back to his senses.

Boland had anticipated Tertullian's fierce rebuttal long beforehand.

Bolan looked closely at the son of the prophet in front of him, and he had already ruled Tertullian guilty in his heart.

The first accusation, therefore, is nothing but a temptation.

The second accusation is really heartbreaking.

"Treason, Tertullian, you are treason."

Bolan stared at Tertullian, revealed his crimes one by one, and said slowly:

"Dertullian, our kingdom is not only the kingdom of the Logos, but also a kingdom gifted by God. God let us establish our own kingdom, but you betrayed our kingdom!"

"Look at everything you have done, the kingdom established by your father and King Saber is falling apart, the order is out of control, and the morality is corrupting.

Look at the kingdom today, you have betrayed your brother, our king, you have broken the heart of King Alesto, you have disappointed the Prophet Yar, this is all your crime!
You are full of stigma!Plead guilty, Tertullian!Think of your brothers, your father, if you don't confess your sins, even they will be stained with your name! "

Boland's accusation is comprehensive and powerful. He accuses Tertullian of crimes from the perspective of the kingdom, and accuses Tertullian of despicableness from the perspective of his closest relatives.

His purpose is the same as that of all the nobles - to execute Tertullian!
Facing the aggressive Bolan, Tertullian didn't know whether he was arrogant or confident.

The nobles stared at him angrily. The shock that came from their hearts not long ago has been transformed into even higher anger by them at this moment.

The crowd leaned forward, as if they were about to press Tertullian's head at any moment, forcing him to confess the incomparable crime.

Tertullian raised his head and said loudly:
"There are two kinds of kingdoms in this world, one is defined by a few people, and the other is a kingdom approved by God by all people."

The words of the son of the prophet caused the audience to fall into an uproar, and even the fingers of King Alesto on the throne trembled slightly under the shadow.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's a rebellion, how could the prophet meet you, a rebellious heir?!"

"Execute him and make him shut up!"

...

The nobles present were burning with anger and vowed to burn the man in front of him to death. He dared to deny his ruling authority. Under his rule, the cities were thriving and honors followed. This is an ironclad fact, he Can't see it?

"A kingdom can only exist in the world when it is for all and God's tacit consent. Otherwise, we should rebel, we should revolt, and when the kingdom is ruled by a few, even a tyrant, tell me, Should we suffer in silence the rule of tyrants?

If accepting a few, if enduring even a tyrant,

So tell me, where is the god who gave reason to all men?

You put a few people in the position of God, but you don’t understand that God is among all peoples!
Because God did not endow a certain Logosian with reason, but endowed all Logosians with reason. God is not pleased with a certain high-ranking monarch, but with the world with their feet on the ground! "

Tertullian's voice grew louder, and now it was not only his own voice, but that of all the enslaved Logosians.

It seemed that all the voices were added together, making a cry that shook the world.

How proud is this man's soul.

He seemed to be burning hot and glowing, everyone looked at him in astonishment, the endless anger was covered by his brilliance, and was extinguished by his brilliance.

"In our kingdom, people are domesticating people, the Logos people who were originally equal to each other, and people treat others like livestock.

It is natural for man to trample on his reason, his empathy, and the love that God bestowed upon the Logosians.

We have rationality, and since we have rationality, we must know:

Man is not a herd of animals to be tamed, a weak, vile beast.

Man——is the son of God. Man enjoys the rationality bestowed by God. Man has the power to shoulder the pain of others. Man has the obligation to heal the suffering of others.

Because man is a child of God, and everyone is loved by God. Man has a grand mission in this world. I don’t know what it is, but that mission should lead to truth, not slavery! "

Tertullian's voice was so calm, but the power in that calm could not be ignored by anyone.

Everyone's breathing became heavier, as if if they were not careful, they would be overwhelmed and destroyed by this power.

The words of the people's accusations seem so weak at this moment, neither can break the person's body, let alone hurt the person's soul.

Even Bolan, known as the sage who accused Tertullian, was almost overwhelmed by this man's words.

In the end, Bolan still recovered from the shock, his hands trembled uncontrollably, his eyes were still angry, but there was a trace of timidity in his eyes looking at Tertullian.

Bolan is about to be charged with a third count.

Blasphemy.

God is the spiritual foundation of the Logos people. God endowed the Logos people with rationality and saved the Logos people when the end came.

It can be said that the crime of blasphemy is far better than any of the previous ones.

If a person is considered blasphemy, it means that almost the entire society denies his existence.

Boland made every effort to fulfill Tertullian's charge of blasphemy.

"Since you admit the preciousness of reason, why do you violate the morality constructed by our reason?!"

"Yes, God has left, we all know that God has left, but why did God leave?"

"Dertullian, left because of the loss of order, because of the corruption of morality! God gave us reason, so we established morality on earth.

Our morality has supported us to establish countless brilliance, and supported all the orders in our kingdom. It is precisely because of morality that we are regulated. Do you want to talk nonsense and deny the meaning of morality?

You betrayed our morals, and the words you spread have torn the entire kingdom apart and plunged it into crisis.

You must know that our kingdom is not only the kingdom of the Logos, but also a kingdom bestowed by God!

Tertullian, you have rebelled against the kingdom of God, you have rebelled against God!Just ask, who would not be disappointed to see the original kingdom plunged into terror and corruption?

Because your riots and treason have corrupted your morals, God is gone! "

Such a severe and lofty accusation rushed straight to Tertullian, it seemed to be Boland's sharpest weapon, and it was also the most powerful accusation of the nobles.

Here is the condemned, Tertullian, who has killed Morality!

He made slaves no longer slaves, nobles no longer nobles, and plunged the entire kingdom into an unprecedented crisis, which was about to collapse the entire civilization.

Isn't this too much to write about? Couldn't the collapse of the entire civilization not allow this person to confess his guilt?
He must plead guilty!
Someone has to take all the blame!

He must admit to the most serious accusation - blasphemy!
Tertullian was rarely silent in the face of this heavy accusation.

Everyone looked at the silent Tertullian, thinking that this man had finally succumbed. Facing the overwhelming evidence, he could not escape the cowardice of human nature after all. He was hesitating and fearful.

However, among the people present, no one knew that...

Tertullian was about to make the greatest and most solemn proclamation the whole race had ever seen.
