Samuel's divine guards also frowned. Within the scope of their duties, they had previously investigated Master Dominic's residence and analyzed the surrounding materials. Indeed, they did not find anything related to the stolen materials.
Could this guy be shooting himself in the foot? The key point is, why did the Goddess Temple trust him so much that he captured two high-status people without any evidence?
"False accusation?" Shen Chen smiled coldly, "These scraps alone can't explain anything, but you might as well watch another show."
Upon hearing his words, outside the hall, several dwarf alchemists staggered in carrying the casting furnace and placed it in the center of the hall.
Just when everyone present was confused and confused, Shen Chen asked another divine guard to bring a few packages of things. After opening them, they were all full of materials, dazzling with light.
"Several masters will go and see if there are any problems with these materials." Shen Chen looked at the masters invited to witness.
The masters came forward and after careful screening, one of them nodded: "They are all rare and rare objects, just the ones that were stolen!"
"Could this be found from Master Dominic? How is this possible? When we went there before, we conducted the most rigorous search and found nothing at all." Samuel, the director of the Divine Guard, frowned.
"No, these were brought from the warehouse." Shen Chen smiled lightly.
"What?" Everyone was dizzy. What did this kid mean? Is he kidding them?
Shen Chen ignored it, looked at the dwarf alchemists, and said: "Open the furnace according to the proportions I gave you before."
"Yes, sir." Several dwarf alchemists stepped forward and began to quickly prepare the materials.
Then an incredible scene occurred. After those extremely precious materials were put into the alchemy furnace in corresponding proportions, under the control of a certain degree of divine power and fire temperature, they actually began to burn dullly, and the light continued to dim.
Eventually, the fire in the entire furnace went out, leaving only a pile of black powder, which was exactly the same as the one in the barrel not far away.
When everyone saw this, their eyelids trembled, they had realized something.
Shen Chen looked at the masters with a cold look on his face and said, "Come on, let's compare them and see the difference between the two waste materials!"
A group of masters hurriedly came forward, and the leaders also passed by. After comparison, they all looked at each other, and they were exactly the same.
"Oh my god! How could this happen? How could a bunch of wonderful materials be destroyed!" A master exclaimed in shock.
Even high-ranking craftsmen like them don't know about this situation.
Shen Chen sneered and said: "Because after those materials are fused in specific proportions and techniques, not only will there not be any masterpieces, but there will be a strange effect, which depletes each other's divinity. I call it the material gap." annihilate each other!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar, and Dominic and the other two were ashen-faced.
"You have also seen that this kid has a way to destroy those materials and destroy the evidence. These are irrefutable evidence of his crime!" Dominic looked like a madman, screaming heartbreakingly, wanting to continue to quibble.
Shen Chen smiled disdainfully: "Isn't it interesting? The foundry area is heavily guarded. Hundreds of people have seen you working there these days. You also poured out the waste. But has anyone seen me going there?"
"Let those guards in." At this time, Artemis finally said coldly.
Immediately, a group of guards who were on duty there were all called in. Without exception, they all testified against Shen Chen's statement.
In an instant, Dominic and Liu Quan were completely desperate.
Many of the leaders and generals around, as well as Samuel and others from the Divine Guards, had unnatural expressions on their faces. This was really a case of both people and the spoils being gained.
"What else do you two have to say?" The moon goddess Catalina said coldly, with divine flames dancing in her beautiful eyes.
"Your Highness, spare your life. We were also deceived by others, so we were confused for a moment and made a big mistake!" Dominic and Liu Quan fell to their knees on the ground with a plop, terrified.
Especially Dominic, a majestic eighth-level divine craftsman and a divine king, was trembling with fear at this moment.
In front of the two goddesses, he was so frightened that he had no intention of resisting at all.
As for Manager Liu Quan, he was shaking even more violently. Compared to Master Dominic, he had a lower status. Now that the incident had been exposed, his whole body was completely cold.
"Who ordered you to do this?" Artemis asked coldly.
Dominic panicked, gritted his teeth, and said in panic: "It's General Soetu, he is colluding with us to frame the commander-in-chief."
At this time, he had no choice. Although he was sent by the Supreme Temple, this was a war led by the secondary goddess, and he would not care too much about it.
"That's right, it's General Suo'etu and the others. They asked me to arrange an opportunity. When they come to collect the materials, they will take the opportunity to expose the matter and then report it to the Shenji Guards to frame the commander-in-chief!" Manager Liu Quan! He also spoke with trepidation.
"You two are slanderous and have evil intentions. You actually want to harm me." Suo'etu also went crazy and shouted angrily. He would definitely not admit it.
Although he is a seven-star general, but this matter has caused such a big fuss, I'm afraid he is not doing well.
"General Suo'etu, I used a crystal wall to secretly record the conversation between you and us, just for fear that you wouldn't admit it later." Dominic said with gritted teeth, completely willing to give up.
"You!" General Suo'etu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. His subordinates felt even more chilled. They all knelt on the ground and begged the goddess to spare their lives.
"Director of the Divine Guard, do you have any more questions?" Goddess Catalina looked at Samuel and his men.
Samuel and several of his Divine Guardsmen also had extremely stiff expressions on their faces, and their cheeks were burning. Although they were not complicit in the crime, it was still a big sin to wrongly blame good people.
"Your Majesty, the Goddess Temple, is aware that we were indeed reckless in this matter and wrongly blamed the Commander-in-Chief. We are willing to apologize to him." Old Samuel stepped forward with a hot face and bowed quickly and said.
This incident almost triggered a mutiny. If serious investigation is carried out, the insistence of the Shenji Guards will not be able to escape the relationship.
"What do you think should be done with these three people and their henchmen?" Artemis said coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
At first they thought the little thief was dishonest, but now it turns out that this incident was indeed a frame-up, and even the generals were involved, so naturally they cannot forgive him.
"This..." Samuel's face tightened, and then he said seriously: "Framing and framing important personnel is a taboo in the military. Stealing important war supplies is also a major crime. At a critical period, he plotted against the law and almost caused civil strife in the entire army. This is an extra level of crime and should be punished according to the law!"
Hearing this, Dominic, Liu Quan, Suo'etu and others felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Your Majesty, Goddess Temple, have mercy on me. We are all confused for a moment. Please give us a chance..." A group of people knelt on the ground and shouted.
Shen Chen nodded secretly. Although there was a tense situation before, these people from the Divine Guard were at least quite strict. The director of the Divine Guard didn't even have a hint of cover, and directly punished the crime in the most serious degree.
Biyou, Auriel, Sigma and others' eyelids trembled. At this point, they had nothing to say, and any excuses were useless.
Natural Light Shield Biyou stood up and sighed: "Under the Goddess Temple, although these people's methods are despicable, fortunately they did not cause a big mistake. Now is the time to employ people. Both Master Dominic and General Suo'etu are all in the army. Dongliang, I hope to give them a chance to atone for their sins."
"Your Highness, please have mercy." Oriel, Sigma and other high-star generals also stood up and begged for mercy.
Some of the racial leaders present also interceded seriously, but the focus was on Master Dominic and General Soetu.
These two have outstanding merits and high status, so they still have some possibility of survival. As for the accomplices, even the manager Liu Quan, they are basically out of luck. If such a big thing happens, they will also give the Goddess Temple another chance. Down the steps.
At this time, many people hope that Shen Chen will stand up and plead for mercy. As a victim, if he is willing to forgive, he will be the most convincing.
Some generals even kept winking at him.
However, Shen Chen was indifferent and stood there without even looking at him. He had never been kind to women. Those guys didn't give him a chance before. Now they still wanted him to forgive. It was simply wishful thinking.
Moreover, although the culprit has been found in this matter, I am afraid it is not that simple. Most of the other high-star generals were also involved in the plan, but they just stayed on their own and did not take direct action like the idiot Suo'etu.
This made a group of generals feel cold and angry. This guy really didn't understand current affairs.
Everyone looked at the two goddesses. At this time, even the Divine Guards could not say anything more. The final decision was in the hands of the two goddesses.
In the opinion of most generals and leaders, the two goddesses should consider the overall situation and at least give Master Dominic and General Soetu a way out.
However, they seemed to take it for granted. Artemis ignored the intercessions around him and said coldly: "This move cannot be forgiven. Every one of them is a capital crime. Dominic sees that you have contributed to the war of the Kingdom of God for a long time. This time you will
For the sake of proving the culprit, this goddess will spare your life. You will be tried again after the war. During this period, you will continue to serve the army. If you make any mistakes again, you will be severely punished, and other sinners will be punished by God to death!"
Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell into silence.
"No, Your Highness. General Suo'etu's military exploits are equally outstanding. No matter how serious the crime is, we should treat it as an exception." Biyou and others hurriedly came forward to plead.
"Your Highness, spare your life!" Suo Etu, Liu Quan and others turned pale and trembled in fear.
Dominic, who was lucky enough to escape, was about to collapse. He quickly fell to the ground and shouted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me. Thank you, Your Highness..."
"Little thief, don't be angry. This old bastard is an eighth-level master craftsman after all. His help to the army cannot be given up easily. You can come back to us to discuss compensation. In addition, you can talk to us in private.
Ask Dominic to compensate you for some losses. As an eighth-level master craftsman, this old turtle must have a good collection." Secretly, a chuckle reached Shen Chen's ears.
The moon goddess actually personally explained the reason for not killing Master Dominic.
Shen Chen was helpless about this. In fact, he had thought of it just now and thought that Suo'etu could also escape.
After all, the seven-star war general is an existence at the level of a mid-to-high-level god king. On the Five Elements Continent, he is equivalent to a powerful god domain lord, and he is also a member of the Supreme Temple. God punishes a high-level god king. Really
Somewhat unreal.
However, since the other party mentioned compensation, Shen Chen would not be polite. He would ask for compensation later, and both the temple and Dominic's old turtle would receive it.
On the other side, faced with the intercession of many generals, Artemis seemed indifferent and coldly ordered the goddess Mia and the people of the Divine Guard to carry out divine punishment.
In fact, as early as the moment the verdict was handed down, a terrifying divine will completely deprived Suo'etu, Liu Quan and others of their source of faith, and their divine power was also sealed by the terrible law, making it impossible to even struggle.
