"Mr. John, have you always worked under Archbishop Nelga?" Allen first asked Priest John.
"Yes."
"Before this, did he give you an order to assassinate Prime Minister Sistine?"
"Yes."
"several times?"
"Twice. But due to some unexpected factors, they failed."
"Can you tell me the specific situation?"
"The first time, Archbishop Nerga asked me to ambush in an alley in the capital. When Mr. Sistine passed by, he applied magic to the horses on the opposite side, causing the horses to lose control and the carriages to collide.
Come, Mr. Sistine will die in an 'accidental car accident'.
"The second time, Archbishop Nerga cast the Holy Light spell on me, asked me to wear a 'Chain of Punishment', and ordered me to secretly sneak into the palace dungeon and kill Mr. Sistine who was imprisoned in the dungeon."
After hearing John's answer, Allen nodded, then turned to look at the magic apprentice Philip:
"Philip, my butler Fred sent the urn some time ago. Have you found the results of the investigation in the Mage Tower?"
"Of course," Philip chuckled, "after Mr. Fred and the Capital Police Department delivered the urn to the Wizard's Tower, Magician Grimm personally used the 'retrospection' magic on it and saw the truth about the death of the deceased.
"
"Can you tell me the identity of the deceased first?"
"The identity of the deceased... you must not have imagined it," Philip deliberately glanced at Archbishop Nerga as he spoke, "He is the last chief judge of the Northern Tribunal of the Church of Light, Solon Arande."
"Solon Arande..."
Upon hearing this name, Archbishop Nerga couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, a dizzy feeling swept through his mind, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
God, after Sauron died, I not only destroyed his body but also hid his urn in the deep mountains and forests. How did they find it?
And Allen's next words were more like sharp blades, cutting into his soul one by one, making it difficult for him to remain calm.
"Well, Philip, did you see the scene when the deceased died?"
"Of course I saw it."
"Did he really die from excessive blood loss due to excessive injuries after the battle with the Dark Temple, as claimed by the Church of Light?"
"No," Philip immediately denied, "Judge Soren Arande was not killed in the battle. In fact, he had his throat cut and died by his own people after escaping back to the capital through the teleportation array."
"who?"
"That is of course the Archbishop of the Church of Light, Yak Nelga."
Archbishop Nerga frowned tightly, feeling like stars were popping up in front of his eyes; his hands were convulsively grabbing the table in front of him, just to try to keep himself seated.
His temples were already soaked with sweat, dripping down his cheeks to the table, but he didn't even notice it.
At the same time, the sounds of breathing, discussions, and exclamations in the hall also came and went.
Although in previous trials on several charges, Archbishop Nerga was no longer regarded by the public as the spokesperson of God and a moral model, Archbishop Nerga killed his own men with his own hands, not only brutally slit their throats, but also destroyed their bodies and destroyed all traces
, hiding Sauron's ashes in the deep mountains and old forests still shocked everyone, and even made them feel cold all over.
Where is the bishop of the Church of Light?
This is simply a demon that devours human life!
They only feel that the deep-rooted concepts that they have been instilled by the Church of Light since childhood have been quietly shaken without even realizing it.
Since the Archbishop of the Church of Light can do such vicious things, does the doctrine he preaches, the concepts he teaches, and the principles by which he works come from the teachings of the goddess or the instigation of the devil?
How much of this is believable?
At this time, many members of the jury could no longer suppress their emotions. They clasped their hands together on their chests, confessed with tears, and prayed to the goddess for guidance.
They once believed Archbishop Nelga's lies and mistook the murderous demon for the messenger of God. Some even knelt before him and repented.
Because of this, when the truth was revealed, their minds went blank.
But Allen still stood quietly in his position, looking calm and composed.
I only heard him say calmly: "If I remember correctly, according to the practice of the Church of Light, even if Sauron Arland colludes with the Dark Temple and deliberately destroys the Northern Tribunal, it will still have to be dealt with by the court before he can be sentenced to death.
"Who gave the defendant the courage to ignore the church's rules and the majesty of the law, kill his own men without permission, and bury the urn in the mountains?
"Is he really a devil wearing a priest's robe?"
"I don't know about that," magic apprentice Philip spread his hands, "you have to ask the defendant himself."
"Then, your honor, my questioning is over."
"Okay," Howard's face remained serious and calm, "then let the defendant start cross-examining."
Everyone turned to look at Archbishop Nerga.
At this moment, as if unable to bear the burden of so many pairs of eyes looking at him, the Archbishop's body began to sway involuntarily. He lowered his head, his face was as white as a corpse, and his lips were so pale that there was almost no blood.
"No," he said hoarsely, "that's not necessary."
"Nothing necessary?"
"No need to ask questions," Archbishop Nerga's voice sounded like a different person, "I know that someone is plotting against me behind my back and setting a trap for me. No matter how hard I struggle, it's all in vain. Now,
There is no need to say anything else. Your Honor, punish me!
"I admit that I killed Soren Arande.
"But I had a reason to kill him.
"It's just that the plaintiff happened to seize this opportunity and use this matter against me. I can't defend him.
"Let me just die! I don't want to be humiliated here anymore."
There was an oppressive silence after that.
Everyone looked at the archbishop and then at Allen, and their hair stood on end for a moment.
Archbishop Nelga's hysterical speech seemed like he had a mental breakdown and seemed to be surrendering to Allen, but in fact he was retreating in order to advance.
He knew that as the trial progressed, the dirty things he had done in the past were being exposed one after another.
Instead of having everything clearly exposed in front of the public in such a dramatic manner, it is better to admit the mistake as soon as possible, let the trial end early, and retain a little bit of pitiful dignity.
By the way, it can also expose the sinister and cunning and dangerous image of Alan York to everyone, making everyone be wary of him, fear him, and dare not cooperate with him.
In this way, even if he dies, Allen will not feel better.
Just as the tense atmosphere was spreading in the hall, Judge Howard suddenly hit the "judgment gavel" again and said: "Silence! Defendant, please pay attention to your words. Please do not slander others without evidence."
As a result, the brilliance of the "Judgment Hammer" once again illuminated the judgment hall, and everyone suddenly woke up. They felt that they were almost led by the demon Archbishop, and even their emotions were almost led away by the other party.
Seeing that everyone gradually calmed down, Allen pondered for a moment and said:
“Fourthly, the defendant Yaknel, who was an archbishop, failed to fulfill his duty to restrain his subordinates and allowed his subordinates to levy and levy excessively, harming people’s livelihood.
"This is the sin of 'laziness'."
