Chapter 498: public trial

Lu’an City, on the square in front of the church area, is crowded with people.

It’s been two days since the unprecedented battle, but the whole city is still shrouded in a strange hot atmosphere. For the citizens of Lu’an City, this is the first time they have used their own hands to fight for their second day. The power to go down, for the people from all over the South, the brave, this is the first time they are not separated, regardless of status, not gathered by the lord's whip and sword, and for a great goal Acting today is the day when all their actions bear fruit.

People gathered in the square, each with a high-spirited and eager look on their faces. Their eyes fell on the front of the square, because the high platform was already there, and the high platform was tied to the high and the high. God officials.

The judge has become the abomination of all justice and morality, and the matter itself is enough to stimulate the excitement of many people.

This is a trial, but it is different from the countless heresy trials that Luan City has ever conducted. Its process and form may be very novel and incomprehensible to the locals. It is not a high-ranking priest who is responsible for the crime. It is a three-person trial court composed of a white knight, a judge of Cecil, and an arbitration adviser. In addition to the tri-trial tribunal, there are many jurors sitting next to the high platform:

Some of those people wore robes of the priests, and some recognized them as priests in the chapel of Luan City. These priests were punished with the civilians in the square of the heresy, and they also served as ally when they attacked the cathedral. Roles, so although they are priests, they still have a lot of friendly eyes; the other part is ordinary civilians who are dressed in clean and decent clothes. They are the highly respected people selected in Luan City. Many people know theirs. The face; the last part is the clerk from Cecil.

These people are called "juries", they are witnesses and supervisors of this trial, and they are also representatives of the various levels of the incident.

This wonderful and complicated form of trial has never been seen by Lu’an people, but it undoubtedly reveals a fair and reliable atmosphere. Judges cannot be arbitrary. All laws and decrees are interpreted in court, and people from all walks of life As a witness, to supervise the whole process of the trial, for the Luan people who only know the "hereous trial" for a lifetime, this new "rule" from Cecil even made them feel a little shocked.

For the priests who are tied to the high platform and are awaiting trial, I feel that I am not so good.

These sacred officials who survived to this day almost watched the square below with fear. They looked at the people who could only lie in the dirt in the past. They felt that the people’s eyes even had substantial heat. I burned alive on this high platform.

They were not stoned to death by the violent crowd two days ago, and were not killed by the white knights and the volunteers on the spot. Now they finally realize that they are not lucky because they live, but because they "have another purpose." .

The Cecils let them live to this day, just to let them die today.

"The quiet public trial is now starting."

The "judge" next to the high platform opened. This is a middle-aged administrative officer from the Cecil region. He was a small scholar in the Kant region, but now he is going to trial in the name of Gao Wenda and the people of the South. The fact that the Church of the Light in the South speaks to the people, this fact makes him nervous, trying to hide all the tension and mood swings under the solemn face.

After introducing the trial parties, the members of the trial court, and the jurors in accordance with the Cecil Law, the judge looked at the white knight leader sitting beside him. Because this is a trial involving the church, Wright acts as a Protestant The representative personally came to the trial court and noticed the judge's gesture. The tall and savage "big priest" wearing a white knight was slowly standing up.

There was a slight commotion in the square immediately. Many people saw the white knight in the "Dawn Battle" two days ago. The height of nearly two meters, the mighty white Knight armor, was full of enthusiasm. The sacred light, these distinctive features made Wright impressed in the minds of Lu’an citizens.

Wright sang the square and then looked at the priests in the center of Gaotai. He noticed the fear and tension in the eyes of the latter, but his expression did not change.

He pressed his hand to his chest and solemnly swears: "I am the great shepherd of the Holy Light Protestant. I am here to swear in the name of the Holy Light, which will guarantee the justice and truth of this trial and ensure that it conforms to the sacredness of Cecil. The law, the people will supervise all my words and deeds here."

This "public trial", which will surely be recorded in the annals of history, begins.

At the beginning, many people thought that this trial would be a "prison performance" with an eye for an eye, and that those Luan priests would soon be tied to the firearms and then burned clean by a fire, just like them. It has been done for many innocent people, but in fact, this trial strictly complied with Cecil’s law.

Cecier’s judges and other members of the Trial Chamber clearly and clearly pointed out that a guilty sin of Lu’an priests invaded the people’s property, ruined innocent lives, deceived the people, sacred light... and then one after another familiar or unfamiliar The civilians were brought to the stage by the Cecil soldiers. They went to face to face the priests and confirmed the guilts. The trial court presented the accounts, files and clergy from the cathedral on the spot, especially from the letters of the priests. The "other here settlement order" of the Northern Church to confirm the authenticity of all crimes...

People are paying attention to this trial with a strange emotion. They couldn’t wait to see those Luan priests burned to death immediately. This is a simple and straightforward revenge mentality, but with the trial entering the “in court testimony” "Links, they feel a more powerful emotion than pure revenge.

They want to watch those Luan priests convicted, and after being confirmed all the crimes, they will always be nailed to the shame column.

They want to hear the judges declare that those who have been burned to death are innocent. They want to hear those friends and relatives who have been whipped, be smashed, and sinned.

They don't just want to vent, they don't just want revenge, they want justice.

This is the hardest thing for civilians in this world.

A woman with a foot on the **** was taken to the high platform by the soldier. The woman’s leg was interrupted by the Knights of the Holy See. She asked people to look at her deformed leg and accused the ferocious Chapel Knights just because she accidentally stepped on the pastor. The robe of the robes is the poisonous hand.

An old woman came to the stage with her own son. Her son could not speak because the priest ordered the tongue of the young man to be cut off. The crime was "the sacred words in the original light of the light"...

This trial is destined to last a whole day.

On the edge of the square, on the high wall of the church area, Gao Wen and Amber watched the trial.

"What kind of punishment will those priests be sentenced to?" Amber looked curiously. "I feel that the guilt and evidence are extraordinarily complicated..."

Gao Wen replied casually: "All hanged, there will be no forgiveness."

"...all hanged?" Amber looked at Gao Wen in surprise. "So I said it was set at the beginning?"

"According to Cecil's law, the lightest of their crimes must also be hanged twice, and for the promotion of Protestantism, in order to completely remove the influence of the old church, these dead loyalists can not stay."

Amber reveals its thoughtful appearance: "...you let them live to this day, just for this trial?"

"Yes, it is for this trial," Gao Wen nodded slightly. "And not only must there be this trial, but its process must be strict and fair. Even if every sin of the priest is enough for them to die, they must also be at trial. Only after the end can die."

Amber soon wanted to understand the intention of Gao Wen: "Is it to establish 'order'?"

“It’s true,” Gao Wen said with a slight sigh of relief. “It’s probably the easiest and most venting treatment to directly let those priests be killed by the people and the white knights, or give them a fire directly at the trial. If you do that, it will be no different from the 'heretical trial'. This great battle will also become a savage atrocity. In any case, we must put some of Cecil in the order of the reconstruction of Lu’an City. The idea is passed on to everyone, letting them know that we and the Holy Light Church are different heretical trials that must be completely abandoned."

A voice came from behind Gao Wen and Amber: "So those priests and priests are dead, and they must die after a fair trial. This is the rule you made, is it?"

Amber turned his head and glanced at him. He raised his hand and said hello: "Hey, **** officer."

Gao Wen looked at the middle-aged priest wearing a white robe, tall and thin, and nodded slightly: "The sage tribe is very grateful for the help you provided in this operation."

In front of Gao Wen and Amber, it is the leader of the chapel area, Savenly.

He did not appear at the high platform of the public trial, but came here, as if to see Gao Wen.

"The Light guides us," the tall, thin priest painted the symbol of the Seal on his chest. He looked at Gao Wen's eyes and was quite curious. "You are not the same as I imagined." ”

Gao Wen smiled and looked at the priest who was praised by Wright: "Where is it different?"

Sventuri replied very calmly: "After listening to Miss Amber's description, I thought you should be a more gloomy, colder, more arbitrary ruler, and for the best interests, you will not say 'justice' 'Two words, but now it seems... Although you have a tough wrist, you still have your own moral principles."

Gao Wen thought about it and turned to look at the amber: "...what did you say to others?"

Amber was looking for a chance to sneak when he was halfway through Sventri, but considering that it was possible to be thrown away from the wall by Gao Wen’s collar at the moment of opening, she still scalded. Didn't run, at this time she immediately picked up: "I didn't say that you taught me normally! I think this is the problem of the understanding and imagination of this priest..."

"You learn from Rebecca. The intelligence doesn't improve much. The head is iron every day," Gao Wen said unceremoniously. Then he looked at Sievert, "Whether you understand it from Amber. What do I hope you can understand: I am trying to make this land and the people on the land have a better tomorrow. On this basis, I am not malicious to the Light."

"Wright also told me this way, I believe his judgment and believe in my own vision at the moment," Sieverti bowed his head in front of Gao Wen. "Thank you for the trial you arranged so that I saw you." 'Fairness', it has no contradiction with the Holy Light."

Gao Wen calmly accepted the evaluation of the priest, then turned around and looked at the steeple towers in the church area: "We will leave soon, the city ... will remain the city of the Light. I and Wright has already discussed the city as a training and research facility for the Holy Light Protestant because it has the most Holy Light and the best magical environment, and is a ready-made holy city. Because Wright spends most of his time Cecil City, so he hopes that you can manage the church here for him. Of course, the management of the city will change a lot, the church will no longer be the highest authority of the city, I will send people to build a place here. The Office of Government Affairs is responsible for the operation and construction of the city. Your responsibility will be limited to church affairs and corresponding facilities."

Savendi nodded. "I don't have any opinion as long as I can continue to spread the light."

“Very good,” Gao Wen said with a sigh of relief. “I will gradually transfer the training facilities of the White Knight here. I hope that you and your colleagues can cooperate actively. As for the cathedral...”

Gao Wen said that this pause, he looked at the distant spire of the cathedral in the sun, and slowly said after a while: "Start a new name... called the Light Academy, used to popularize the whole people. The new doctrine, the knowledge of the Holy Light. In the future, all institutions that study and impart knowledge of the Light should be called the Light Academy, and should be separated from the teachings and the churches that provide community and neighborhood services."

Savitri’s eyes changed slightly, subconsciously repeating the words used by Gao Wen: “...college...”

Gao Wen smiled and quietly looked at the priest in front of him: "Yes, since it is a place to spread knowledge, of course it should be called a college."

Sievertley greeted Gao Wen’s eyes, and in that look he seemed to see the deep meaning behind it.

Go to sanctification.

The light is a kind of knowledge, the belief in the light is a culture, the church will become a pure service facility, and as for the belief in the **** of light...

Will it become a history lesson in the college?

After a few seconds, Savitri's expression became calm, he seemed to finally put down the burden, and seemed to make a major decision in life, he lowered his head again: "According to your arrangement."

The tall, skinny priest left, and only Gao Wen and Amber were left on the wall, and under the wall, the public trial of Luan's priest was still going on.

Gao Wen didn't go after the amber to "smash" his own problems. However, Miss Half Elf himself obviously had a lot of troubles. After a few more words, Amber finally couldn't help but open his mouth: "Speak... the priest Say you have your own moral principles!"

Listening to Miss Half Elf, this apparently no words to read, Gao Wen could not help but curl up his mouth, he looked at the other side: "This is the nonsense moral principle of this thing who?"

Amber scratches the skull. Unfortunately, she is not Rebecca. She can't scratch the wisdom of the brain, so she can only confess her thoughts: "You told me that the so-called 'aristocratic spirit' is False and outdated things, the Knights' Rules have not kept up with the times. The 'doctivating virtues' promoted by each church are also full of the smell of money... These things have been abandoned by you, then the justice in your mind... ...what is it like?"

Gao Wen looked at Amber and watched the amber eyes glow in the sun with an inexplicable brilliance. He found that this still annoying and troublesome guy actually had a little change after this trip to Lu’an. However, although it is impossible to tell what this change is, it seems that this wild and untamed half-elf has finally begun to seriously treat her work, and seriously began to think about his career.

This is a good thing.

"Look over there, those people in the square, have you seen it?"

Amber nodded: "See."

“Everyone eats and wears warmth, which is the greatest justice.”

......

This is an endless and broad city. It stands in a distant and inaccessible place. Today, the past and the future will always exist.

The magnificent light is the brick and the foundation of the city. It is the sky above it and the rooted land. Every brick, every wall, every tower and threshold is radiant and full of endless sacredness. .

As Saint Dumont said:

I saw a giant city, endless and wide, with light from the bricks and stones of the city, the whole city is like a light cast.

In the center of this city of light casting, on the magnificent square, which is difficult to judge with the naked eye, countless streams of light flow from the distant sky to the top of a huge, constantly changing crystal.

This sacred and sacred crystal is quietly running, and it has been governed by this city of light and casting for thousands of years, and the truths of His own are quiet, bright, peaceful, and sheltered. And the flow of light that comes together from all over is both the source of His gathering power and the channel through which He releases influence.

Today, however, the unchanging order of this city of light casting has changed slightly. Some of the light flows that come from all directions have quietly changed the color and direction. They become more clear and seem to be unaffected. Controlled over the crystal in the center of the square, free flowing in the sky to the distance...

The crystal is still running for thousands of years, and a bell-like melody surrounds it. It sounds empty and holy, but it seems like the most chaotic noise without any tune and regularity. In this chaotic and holy ringtone In the middle, the crystal only changed its form again, as if it did not care about the flow of light that changed the flow in the sky, and did not care about the "loss" of these micro-ends...
