As Archbishop Nerga fainted and fell to the ground, everyone present could not help but take a breath of cold air.
The archbishop's reaction undoubtedly showed that both the charges against Allen and the call "Father" made by the young man named Andre Field were solid facts.
Archbishop Nerga indeed gave birth to an illegitimate child with the street girl named Angel.
The identity of this illegitimate child has been kept secret until today, and it became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
But Allen obviously didn't intend to let Archbishop Nerga go.
He suddenly took a few steps forward, left his seat, and came to the open space in front of the judge's bench.
I saw the fingertips of his left hand gently tapping the wooden table in front of the clerk's seat, slightly raising his voice, and said to everyone present in a sarcastic tone: "Look, this is the archbishop you respect most! Look, this is what is called
The pure and pure clergy of the Church of Light!"
Seeing Allen's behavior that was not in line with court procedures at this time, Clerk Bennett wanted to persuade him to sit back down quickly, but when Judge Howard waved his hand gently, Bennett could only give up and let it go.
Allen stood in front of everyone and made an impassioned speech.
Everyone in the trial hall, as well as everyone standing in front of the projector screen across the country, held their breath and stared at Allen intently.
In normal times, Allen's behavior would be regarded as blasphemous and punished by the Church of Light.
But now, everyone has witnessed Archbishop Nelga's various crimes, seen Auxiliary Bishop Howard's indifferent reaction, and thought of Allen's extraordinary identity and background, they actually feel that Allen's words are natural.
Only the priest Peter on the witness stand took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to whisper:
"Mr. York, you are in court now, you have overstepped..."
"Trespassing?" Allen sneered and interrupted him, "You said I was overstepping?
"As an archbishop, Aknelga committed the seven heinous crimes in the Canon of Light, blaspheming the goddess, flouting the law, breaking oaths, embezzling public funds, interfering in internal affairs, eating a vegetarian diet while lying dead, killing subordinates indiscriminately, and extorting money... The Pope's Crown
His Majesty ignored him, and the Cardinal left him alone. Priests like you also obeyed his words, and even used his authority to do evil everywhere, making the people miserable.
"In such a huge Church of Light, no one has the guts to stand up, admonish him, or restrain his behavior? You want me, a first-level magician from the Mage Tower, to report his crimes for you?
"Priests, believers, and citizens of the Kingdom of Braden, if I were not here today, would you still have the opportunity to see the true face of Yak Nelga?"
Everyone present was silent.
Even the priest Peter lowered his head after hearing these words and no longer dared to refute.
After all, to a certain extent, he can be regarded as Ak Nelga's accomplice, and he was also involved in many of Nerga's crimes.
As for others, they deeply admired Allen and were deeply afraid of this incident.
Indeed, without Allen, Yaknelga would still be wearing a mask of hypocrisy and continue to sit on the throne of the Archbishop of the Church of Light majestically. All believers in the Kingdom of Braden may be kept in the dark for the rest of their lives.
, bow down to a despicable person.
"Peter," Allen suddenly called Peter's name sharply, "ask yourself, when Nelga committed these seven crimes, did you help Nelga do it?"
Peter was frightened, but under Allen's power, he slowly stood up and said: "I...I was forced by him..."
"What a man who was forced by him," Allen chuckled, "Let me ask you, when you joined the Church of Light, did you swear an oath by pressing the "Light Canon" with your hand? You know that the goddess 'keeps her conscience and is kind to others'
'The doctrine? Do you know that if you commit sins during your lifetime, you will suffer divine punishment in purgatory after death? Is that despicable Nerga more terrifying to you than purgatory? "
"I know..." Peter's voice was as low as a mosquito's cry.
"Then why are you still doing this?" Allen said sternly.
However, he did not wait for Peter to answer, nor did he expect Peter to answer. Instead, he sighed and called another person's name:
"John."
Priest John stood up, but he bent over and lowered his head, not daring to look into Allen's eyes.
"I'm guilty," John spoke very quickly before Allen could ask. "I was instructed by Archbishop Nerga to assassinate former Prime Minister Sistine twice. I shouldn't have done this. I repent.
.”
"John, do you know? If I hadn't stopped you twice, your hands would have been stained with the blood of sin." Allen shook his head gently, "There is actually no difference between you and Yaknelga.
"
Hearing this, John's knees weakened and he fell to his knees on the ground, his face turned frighteningly white.
"Eliza," Allen called another person's name, "as a priest of the Church of Light, you should know that one of the goddess's teachings is 'love your neighbor as yourself'!"
Father Eliza of the Alexandria Church stood up slowly, with a pale face and said, "I know."
"You sent the cavalry to the town of Korn to plunder and plunder the people there, making it difficult for the people to live, forcing the local people to disperse their wives and children, and even risk death," Allen said with emotion, "At that time, did you ever think about this doctrine?
"
"I……"
"Do you think you are worthy of the title of 'Father'? Can you bear the responsibility of conveying the will of the goddess? When thousands of believers look at you with respect, won't you feel guilty?"
"I'm guilty." Father Eliza lowered her head and admitted her mistake, her voice sounding particularly hoarse.
"You are indeed guilty," Allen said coldly. "Apart from you, those church knights who stuffed taxes into their own pockets, those indifferent priests who ignored the suffering of the people, those accomplices who obeyed Nerga and helped the evil, those
Those who are sanctimonious and inconsistent... Your entire church is guilty!
"You use 'light' in the name, but in fact you are extremely corrupt!
"As an archbishop, Nerga has openly committed seven crimes, and each of you is absolutely responsible!"
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
What Allen did today was undoubtedly a treasonous act. Under normal circumstances, he might have been sent to the gallows.
But at this moment, he has become a hero who stands up, a righteous man who exposes the truth, a brave man who is not afraid of power, and a wise man who guides people.
Although he was dressed in black, he looked dazzling under the light of the "Haul of Judgment".
He looked at the crowd, but they didn't dare to look at him.
Allen was silent for a moment, his attitude gradually softened, a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to himself: "To be honest, I never thought that I would have such a day, and I would need to personally hold you accountable on behalf of the Goddess of Light... to judge.
You sinners who blaspheme the goddess."
Upon hearing this, Auxiliary Bishop Howard stood up on the bench and said, "This is my dereliction of duty."
"No," Allen turned around, his expression gradually softened, and smiled at him, "Mr. Bishop, you have done a good job. If you hadn't taken out the 'Haul of Judgment', how could you have let these people
Can cunning and hypocritical people see their true colors?"
Then, Allen turned to the crowd again and said:
"Citizens of the Kingdom of Braden, whether you are here or in front of the light curtain of the 'projector', I think you have clearly seen the hypocrisy and corruption of these clergy of the Church of Light.
"They have lied a lot, claiming in front of you that they are the incarnation of virtue, the communicator of the will of the gods, and the communicator of the goddess's teachings... How credible do you think their words are?
“They kept saying that the pagans killed innocent people indiscriminately, cannibalized human flesh, were greedy, and had many tricks.
"But if you think about it carefully, although the pagans are cruel and violent in the rumors, which is frightening, has anyone around you really been persecuted by the pagans?"
When they heard the word "pagan", everyone wanted to reflexively refute it, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that what Allen said was really reasonable.
Although the Church of Light publicizes the horrors of the Dark Temple everywhere, no one around them has ever been persecuted by the Dark Temple.
In comparison, it seems that more people have died under the heavy taxes of the Light Church.
At this point, Allen knocked on the desk and said sternly: "You should have seen it! Peel off the bright outer skin of these hypocritical priests, and the inside is even darker and more dirty than the so-called 'evil god cultists'!"
"They are the cultists who really deserve to be punished by God!"
Allen's words were like thunder, echoing in the trial hall and in the hearts of every Braden citizen.
On this day, there was an irreparable crack in the innate faith of the believers;
On this day, everyone in the Light Church was in danger of being insecure. Those priests who were different from the outside and helped others to do evil, for the first time in their lives, had a deep fear of the purgatory mentioned in the "Light Canon";
On this day, throughout the Kingdom of Braden, the majesty of the Church of Light was wiped out.
