Chapter 58 Desire

Earl William York came to the witness stand and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Allen with a helpless look, as if to say to him: You kid is doing things secretly, and in the end you want me to end it.

Allen shrugged, and his expression was no longer completely calm and indifferent as before. Instead, he grinned, like a naughty child who had succeeded in playing a prank.

Archbishop Nerga stayed aside in silence, watching the eye contact between father and son, and felt that the Allen now and the Allen just now were not the same person at all.

Earl William was not in a hurry to start the witness question and answer session. Instead, he turned to Archbishop Nerga and said:

"My Lord Bishop, I am here in the capital this time, and I have a question to ask you. According to the regulations of the Church of Light, as a believer of the goddess, I should have the authority to check the use of donations!"

Archbishop Nerga nodded numbly, his gray eyes lifeless.

He already knew why Earl William came to the capital from the territory quietly.

The father and son had already discussed in private that they would borrow the 50,000 gold pounds to put him to death completely.

For Archbishop Nerga, the whereabouts of the 50,000 gold pounds was obviously an ulterior secret; in order to keep the secret, he even did not hesitate to personally kill Judge Solon Arande of the Northern Tribunal.

He thought that since he was good at falsifying accounts, and that Earl William York had always been pious and wealthy, he would not pursue this matter too much.

But he never imagined that there was a cunning Alan York hidden behind this matter.

With Allen's unfathomable mind, it would be unbelievable if he didn't make a big fuss about this matter.

As he expected, in the next few minutes, Allen and Earl William, father and son, asked and answered questions, explaining the motivation, process and results of Earl William's donation in an orderly and clear manner.

And in the end, as he said, Count William exercised the legal rights of donors and wanted to inquire about the donation usage accounts of Hagia Sophia.

At this moment, Archbishop Nerga was already in a trance, and his gray eyes were empty and unfocused.

He stood up tremblingly and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, since you have made a request, let me tell the truth! The account book of Hagia Sophia is fake...In fact, the money you donated to the church

, I have made a triple crown and gave it to His Majesty the Pope as a gift. Now, this crown should be worn on His Majesty the Pope’s head.”

He knew that in the game between him and Allen, Allen had already surrounded him with his chess pieces, leaving no way out. After today's trial, he would definitely die.

However, if he could drag his great supporter, the Pope, into the water, perhaps his end would be slightly better... Archbishop Nerga thought to himself without any hope.

Of course, when these words fell into the ears of other people present, they had a different taste.

Everyone thought that a person like Archbishop Nerga, who was sanctimonious on the surface but full of misdeeds in private, was a unique cancer in the Church of Light, a rat droppings that fell into the soup.

As long as Archbishop Nerga is dealt with, the Church of Light will still be the original Church of Light, still the embodiment of virtues such as diligence, self-discipline, kindness, and justice, and the spokesperson chosen by the Goddess of Light in the human world.

After all, the citizens of the Kingdom of Braden were baptized in the church of the Church of Light when they were born, and grew up listening to the hymns of the goddess. The clergy of the Church of Light are like mentors to them, and it is difficult to treat them as such.

It is associated with dirty behaviors such as "power-for-money trading", "private embezzlement of public funds", and "deceiving believers".

But now, Archbishop Nerga mentioned the Pope who can use divine magic and is deeply respected by the majority of believers! He is also a participant in these dirty things!

Everyone just felt that their worldview was about to be overturned.

They even began to doubt the correctness of the "Light Canon", the teachings they had received since childhood, and the true face of the Goddess of Light...

Even Earl William was shocked.

Although he was called by Allen to help, he was born and raised in the Kingdom of Braden after all. He is also a devout believer in the Church of Light and has always believed deeply in the various doctrines preached by the Church of Light.

When Allen told him that Yak Nelga had embezzled public funds privately, Earl William was still in disbelief.

After all, Archbishop Nerga looks kind and kind on the outside, and speaks like a "goddess". She doesn't look like a villain who would commit such despicable acts.

However, when Earl William saw Allen's letter claiming that "if the new party wants to overwhelm the old party and seize power, this is the best opportunity," Earl William came to the capital with the mentality of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, he would witness so many ulterior secrets within the Church of Light during this trial.

Until he left the witness position, he still felt a little dazed, as if he had been in a dream.

Only Allen remained calm.

When everyone came back to their senses, he continued to state with a smile: "Finally, I want to accuse Archbishop Yak Nelga of violating the oath of the Church of Light. He cannot do what he said in the oath, 'not marry a wife.

, have no children, restrain material desires, and serve faithfully'.

"This is the sin of 'desire'.

"Your Honor, I apply to summon our last two witnesses, Mage Tower student Andre Field and his mother Angel Field."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two people walking towards this side.

One is a young man under twenty years old, with a thin build, messy blond hair, and a pair of gray eyes.

There is no doubt that this person is Andre Field, who lives in the same dormitory as Allen.

The other is a middle-aged woman in her forties, with rough skin, a bloated figure, and straw-like blond hair. Although she has a name commonly used by street girls, her beauty has obviously been worn away by the years.

Andre has always been low-self-esteem and introverted on weekdays, and he is obviously not used to such public occasions.

As he walked, he kept looking down at his toes.

It wasn't until he reached the witness stand that he slowly raised his head, glanced at Allen on the plaintiff's stand, and at the "judgment gavel" in Howard's hand. Finally, he took a deep breath and looked at Nai

On Archbishop Erga.

Two pairs of similar gray eyes looked at each other awkwardly.

Andre was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "Father."

There was an uproar in the hall.

Normally, "father" is undoubtedly an ordinary but sacred word.

But for the clergy of the Church of Light who once took the oath by pressing the "Light Canon" with their hands, this word seems obscene and ridiculous. It represents desire, represents relationship, represents reproduction, is so dirty, so uncivilized, and

It was incompatible with the virtues of abstinence and abstinence which the clergy were supposed to observe.

How could "Archbishop" and "Father" be the same person?

This is simply the most ridiculous joke in the world!

"Oh, father!" The members of the jury covered their mouths with their hands and whispered.

"Oh, father!" A sarcastic voice came from the auditorium.

"Oh, father!" the people gathered in the square of Cohen Town pointed.

"Oh, father!" The whole Braden burst into laughter that lasted for a long time.

Archbishop Nerga's face was pale, and his upper and lower teeth were chattering, like a patient with a high fever.

Those sharp gazes were like an irresistible rain of arrows, leaving him covered in bruises and suffering.

He did not dare to look at Andre Field. Instead, he turned around, slowly raised his trembling right hand, pointed at Alan York on the plaintiff's bench, and said in a hoarse, almost suffocating voice:

"you……"

Then he felt a pain in his chest and fainted to the ground.
