The larger the organization, the easier it is to harbor dirt and evil.

Even a church that believes in the goddess of light and has strict precepts cannot avoid this.

When the sacred cloak is removed and the ugliness is revealed, the impact on the world is huge, just like the child molestation scandal of Christian priests on earth, which was suddenly made into an Oscar-winning film...

Renn handed the thick pile of information to the judge and looked at the dock with a smile.

"It is unimaginable that this is what the clergy of the church would do. It simply brings shame to the glory of the goddess!"

"Damn it, damn these scumbags!"

"Well done, young paladin Michelle, you have sought justice for those wronged souls, and the goddess will forgive your sins!"

The crowd was furious. Not only the believers, but also the soldiers in Dune City began to denounce the corruption of the church.

The Savage Duke, Prince Matthew, and the noble representatives listened to the overwhelming abuse and denunciation of the believers. Even if they wanted to defend themselves, they were powerless.

It stinks. Now the reputations of Cardinal Giulio and Sister Rebecca are completely stinky, as stinky as a cesspit.

Anyone who defends them will smell like shit.

The Savage Duke listened to everyone's curses and greetings, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he said bravely:

"I, I know that Giulio made a big mistake and deserved death. I will not defend him now, but Michelle did not follow the procedures and used lynching to kill people. He should be punished."

Prince Matthew echoed:

"Yes, according to the laws of the empire and the precepts of the church, Michel killed a large number of nobles and clergy and should be burned at the stake!"

The accusers no longer dared to defend the victims, so they changed their approach and asked Michelle to be buried with him.

Michelle remained expressionless, and Ren just sneered and didn't speak again.

"this……"

The presiding judge, Archbishop Timo, was confused.

The trial has reached this point. The ins and outs of this incident, the causes and consequences are all clear. There is nothing to add or discuss. We are just waiting for the final ruling.

But it is not easy to decide.

Giulio and the others were guilty of serious crimes and deserved to die. They were not unjust even if they were cut to pieces by a thousand swords.

But the problem is that the laws of the empire and the precepts of the church are very unfavorable to Michel. His actions of killing evil parties and cleaning up the family can be regarded as justice, but he himself does not have the power to execute those clergy.

It kind of means that honest officials kill corrupt officials and eliminate harm for the people.

But killing an official is treason in itself...

Archbishop Timo was very torn. In his heart, he admired Michel. He believed that he hated evil and was very courageous and dared to face the darkness of the church. However, he also knew that lynching his colleagues was taboo.

If everyone did this, the church would be in chaos.

For example, if you find out that your colleague is a heinous drug dealer, you can't just stab him. You have to call the police and hand it over to the police.

Everyone looked at the judge, but the judge was very confused and didn't know how to rule.

"We should win. The laws of the empire are in our favor." The Savage Duke grinned.

Prince Matthew and the representatives of the nobles did not say anything on the surface, but they were relatively optimistic in their hearts. As the ruling class and exploiting class of this world, they actually don’t care much about fairness and justice. What they care about is how to maintain their authority and status!

Even the laws are made by the ruling class.

Michel's biggest "mistake" was actually that his behavior broke an unspoken rule of upper class society - a noble cannot easily kill another noble, especially within the same power or interest group.

Landowners can use lynching to punish serfs, but have you ever seen a landowner take a knife to chop another landowner?

It's too rough, it's not the way of upper class society.

Archbishop Timo's face was uncertain, his eyes were changing, and his heart was very tangled.

Michelle closed her eyes, had no expectations in her heart, and waited calmly for death.

The Scourge Sword Master, Speaker Daniel, Lady Ellie, Count Ange and others all shook their heads slightly, knowing that this young paladin who hated evil would inevitably die.

If he is not convicted, he will be violating the laws of the empire, which is quite extraordinary.

As we all know, the old bishop is a very traditional person, and tradition often means conservative...

But Ren was smiling and as steady as an old dog.

Archbishop Timo took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and finally his conservative thoughts prevailed, and he decided to judge according to the laws of the empire, saying:

"I declare..."

call out!

At this time, a bright golden rainbow fell from high in the sky, pouring down the brilliant power of heaven. The holy shield on the top of the court that blocked the rain was instantly shattered by the golden light, turning into countless white light blocks and scattering!

The golden rainbow fell and landed in the center of the open-air square. A stream of holy energy as bright as liquid gold burst out and spread around like a tide.

A tall woman with long hair, bathed in golden sacred light, stood in the square.

She is fair-skinned and beautiful, and is wearing a lavender dress. This kind of saintly dress with waistband style perfectly outlines her graceful figure, and her curved figure shows off the softness of a woman.

At this time, her long golden hair was tied up, and she stood quietly in the temple square. The clouds above her head disappeared, and the golden sun shone through the churning sea of ​​clouds, shining on Artoria's delicate face, making her look plain.

Inviolable nobility.

People who saw her for the first time were shocked by her breathtaking beauty and temperament.

She combines the nobility and grace of a princess with the tenacity of a warrior. She is peerless in elegance. Her eyes are confident and firm, as if she is a religious saint who leads people to victory, standing like a glorious flag on this land full of magic.

There was a moment of silence in the court, and everyone was silent, shocked by her beauty and holiness.

Ren was a little absent-minded. At this moment, there was nothing foreign in his eyes, only her bathing in the sunshine, her beautiful white face glowing with a soft golden glow, like a dreamy figure like a goddess.

His heart palpitated, and he wished he could rush over immediately and hold her in his arms.

But this was a public place, so he forced himself to hold it in, even though his thoughts and desires almost overwhelmed his brain and made his arms tremble.

"Kate?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Highness the Saint!"

Finally, some clergy members of the church came to their senses and exclaimed in low voices.

"Is this the new saint of the church?"

In the auditorium, the natural disaster swordsman raised his eyebrows and looked surprised, "The appearance and temperament are impeccable, a peerless beauty, and her strength seems to be..."

Something feels wrong.

At first glance, he looks like an ordinary king, but upon closer inspection, there is a subtle feeling. As the ultimate swordsman, his sharp sword heart seems to feel threatened, and he is a little alert.

But once again, it seems like an illusion...

Speaker Daniel widened his eyes slightly and said: "This is a bit strange, isn't it? She just became a saint, how can she have the strength of a king?"

Most of the saints in the past of the church were at the peak of the fourth level, or took office at the beginning of the fifth level.

It is simply unheard of for a new saint to be a king-level saint. After all, many saints are still stuck in the half-step to the king's level until they leave office.

Others were equally shocked.

"How is this possible, queen?"

"It's unbelievable. Where did the church find the saint? Why didn't she have such a strong reputation before?"

When they felt the majestic power of the holy sea from the saint, Alfred, Execution Witch Rosemary, Master Randy and Count Ange all looked surprised, surprised and confused.

This isn't right.

With such strength, she should have become famous in the mainland, but why is there so little news about this saint?

In this era, there has been no apparent human female king in the entire continent for a long time!

Not counting the Daughter of the Night, that is the return of the ancient boss. Nana, the "White Dragon Girl" who shined in the Beihai Incident, is suspected to be not human.

The thousands of ordinary believers were also shocked. They could not judge the strength of the high-level transcendent. They just felt that the beauty of this saint was almost dreamy, and she was also particularly friendly and upright, just like the incarnation of the goddess of light...

Arturia ignored everyone's looks and comments, her green eyes glowed with golden light, and she stared at the black-haired young man next to the defendant's seat, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes filled with infinite tenderness.

She wanted to rush over, hold him in her arms and tell him about her lovesickness, but she could hold back.

"Kate, you're here."

Archbishop Timo looked at the saint he had selected, with a kind smile on his face and a little doubt, "What's the matter?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Arturia walked straight to the trial stand. Her crystal mid-heeled shoes made a crisp sound, and a pair of beautiful legs with smooth and delicate skin loomed between the bifurcated hem of the saint's skirt.

The posture that is holy yet still beautiful in the female body firmly attracts everyone's attention.

Many people also wondered what she was going to do.

This saint descended from the sky, not as if she was showing off, but more as if she was in a hurry.

Arturia walked up to the old bishop, waved her delicate hand, and the golden holy light shone in the twisted space. It was about three feet long, translucent and white in color, with pure white angel wing guards and holy emblem imprints, inlaid with seven colors.

The jeweled scepter is revealed.

"Holy Rainbow Scepter" is a semi-sacred weapon, the weapon of the Pope, to be precise, it is a ritual weapon and a token.

Just like the Demon Emperor's "Guilty Crown", although it is of high quality, it is not a weapon in itself, but a token, a symbol of identity and power.
