Chapter 125 Athena longs for guidance (1)
"I mean, a public trial."
"Calling all the nobles, clergy, and even civilians in the Imperial City of Orville to judge Karsus' crimes in public." Qin Chu completely ignored the shocked eyes around him and talked: "The scene cannot accommodate so many people, so let's go through
Magical images convey the process of Karsus' trial."
"Publish it on the front page of the newspaper. We must let everyone in the Sky Continent know that Karsus massacred 3,200 paladins of the Holy See. He was an unforgivable crime and was sentenced to death."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
This is a direct way to discredit Karthus, to be cast aside even after death, and to be infamy for eternity... His heart is too vicious.
Rossweisse and Athena's expressions also changed. Their four beautiful eyes were all fixed on Qin Chu and they shook their heads subconsciously.
They would never accept a public trial of Karthus' crimes. It would be a disgrace to the reputation of the entire former brave team.
The former brave team is the only legacy left by Lord Jero in the Sky Continent. They will never allow the things left by Lord Jero to be stained with filth and be reviled by others.
"Brother Qin... did you hear what I just said?" Wadsworth frowned: "This matter will cause turmoil even if it is just worn out, let alone a public trial... We still want peace and stability now.
..."
"Your Majesty Wadsworth, this is exactly the case, so we have to do this even more." Qin Chu replied calmly.
Wadsworth became interested: "Why?"
You must know that when some particularly bad things happened in the past, the Orwell Empire's way of handling it was to hide it if it could, and if it couldn't be concealed, it would turn it into a big deal and a trivial matter. It's unclear why Qin Chu would deliberately make things bigger.
p>
"Concealment will only breed suspicion." Qin Chu put his hand on his chest, bowed like a gentleman, and began to explain his point of view.
"Your Majesty Wadsworth, don't you think that the things you want to hide can really be hidden?"
"No, don't treat the people as fools. They know everything, they just don't tell them what they know."
"The things you want to hide will only become the talk of nobles and common people after dinner... The concealment you think and the stability you think are just false peace."
Wadsworth's face was a little ugly. This was the first time he had heard this point of view, which aroused Wadsworth's interest. This man behaved quite openly and cheerfully: "Brother, keep talking.@*~~"<
/p>
Qin Chu nodded and continued: "Concealing it will only lead to people's lack of understanding of the truth of the incident. This lack of understanding will make people subconsciously speculate and guess what the truth is... You know, once people start to imagine
It is often very exaggerated. If the disaster you want to hide is ten, then the people imagine it as a hundred or a thousand."
"If you try to avoid panic by concealing it, it will only cause greater panic in the end. It's just that this panic was well tolerated by the people and did not break out. But once it breaks out and all the panic accumulates over many years, it will be like a dam bursting.
The flood can no longer be controlled."
"The same thing happened this time. Can the fact that Karsus killed so many paladins really be completely concealed? There must be other people who know, and the news will spread privately."
"People will guess why Karsus killed so many paladins. Is there an irreconcilable conflict between the Holy See and the Brave Squad? Will this conflict affect the great cause of fighting monsters and give rise to more evils?
So much fear."
"Only by holding a trial meeting and calling on as many people as possible to watch it so that everyone knows the truth can we avoid the spread of panic." Qin Chu said a lot in one breath.
This is the punishment he prepared for Karsus. He has endured it himself, and he wants Karsus to taste it again.
These words seem to make some sense.
People like Wadsworth and Augustus are by no means idiots, they are very smart, but because they have been in high positions and separated from the lower class for too long, they do not know what the lower class thinks.
Wadsworth seemed a little moved.
Rossweisse and Athena were full of resistance, especially Athena, who looked at Qin Chu with more and more disgust, if the trial was really open.
If judged, the reputation of the former Brave Team will be completely ruined, which is something Athena will never allow.
After a brief hesitation, Athena stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty the Brave, your words seem to make sense, but since the people have been able to bear it before, I think it shouldn't be a problem this time. It is better not to cause trouble at this critical moment.
, it’s better to cause unnecessary trouble..."
"Miss Athena, do you know where the people's limit of resistance is?"
Qin Chu directly launched a counterattack. His attack was quite fierce. Under Qin Chu's gaze, Athena subconsciously dodged.
"You don't know, and I don't know either... But who can guarantee that this incident will not reach their limit? Most of the members of the Imperial Army come from civilians, and the supplies also come from civilians. In case of an outbreak,
The chaos of the people will inevitably spread to the army, the army of the empire, and the army of the church. Everyone knows that the death knights of the Brave Squad slaughtered a large number of paladins and warriors... As the party being massacred, they will subconsciously resist the masters of the Brave Squad.
."
"Gradually, they will think that the strong have privileges, and they will not be punished even if they massacre soldiers fighting monsters, and then they will hate all masters."
"The union of humans will tear a huge wound. I don't know much about monsters. I have only seen tens of thousands of tauren... I don't know how those tauren who were burned to ashes can survive among monsters."
How much weight do they occupy, but I know that those tauren are fierce and cruel, and they are enemies that must be treated with caution..."
"Miss Athena, do you think that separated humans are still capable of fighting against an army of monsters?"
"If in order to protect the reputation of Karsus, a sinner, the entire human race fails in the confrontation with monsters, can you afford the consequences?"
"Humanity failed and became a slave to monsters, food, or even extinction. Can you afford the consequences?"
"Can you, the brave team, afford it?"
Qin Chu pressed forward step by step, and every word he said was full of aggression.
Athena's attacks became more and more intense, and her face suddenly turned pale. She wanted to fight back but couldn't speak...
She saw through Qin Chu's methods, which were very shameless.
The situations Qin Chu used to attack were all scenarios that might happen in the future, and they were the most extreme and worst results, even directly labeling humankind as extinct.
Asina happened to be unable to refute Qin Chu's words, because no one can guarantee that such extreme situations will not occur in the future, and no one can bear the responsibility of human extinction.
This is sophistry, but sophistry is also the most difficult to deal with.
"Then a public trial will cause the same situation, right?" Athena resisted weakly.
Without pausing, Qin Chu immediately gave the answer: "No, if it is a public trial, the situation will be very different. First of all, the people know the truth and will naturally not have random thoughts."
"For the paladins and the soldiers on the front line fighting against the monsters, they will only hate Karsus and not others, so the division will not spread further."
"The most important thing is that as a super strong man, Karsus was sentenced to death for massacring soldiers, it will also make the frontline soldiers feel that they are valued, and their fighting spirit will not decrease but will even increase.@*~~"
Both Wadsworth and Santa Monica couldn't help but nodded.
"As for you members of the Brave Squad, it would be best if you all showed up at the ceremony and publicly expressed your condemnation of Karthus. It would be best to take the initiative to expel Karsus from the Brave Squad. This would make it clear that you have already established a relationship with Khalsa.
Si draws a clear line, you are different, so that the honor of the remaining members of the Brave Team can be maintained!"
"What's more, Benson died in the battle, which is a perfect contrast to Karthus, making the public believe that not all the brave team is a bastard like Karthus."
Athena still wanted to refute, but she didn't know how to speak for a while.
Moreover, Qin Chu's words also make sense. Benson is dead and Karsus's case has been exposed. In this case, minimizing the loss seems to be the most correct choice.
What's more, Athena doesn't really want to help Karsus, a fool who is contaminated by the power of the evil god.
"Then... what's the reason? There must be a reason why Arthas killed so many paladins, right?" Athena was almost convinced.
"You can have as many reasons as you want. Karsus was contaminated by the power of darkness and was invaded and driven mad by the will of the evil god. This is okay. Although the Pope tried hard to save him, he was still unable to bring back Karsus' consciousness. In the end, he could only
Just put him to death... Isn't that enough? Karsus has done this kind of thing anyway, no one will doubt it."
The four old foxes exchanged glances, and they all felt that they were doing well. Finally, Augustus spoke: "What the Brave Lord said makes sense, and we also agree with what the Brave said. In this case, we will temporarily imprison Karsus, and wait.
There will be a public trial when we are ready."
After a pause, Augustus' eyes fell on Rossweisse, and his expression gradually became sharp. Correct update@
Rossweisse's face turned pale. She knew that what was supposed to come had finally come.
"Rossweisse, you already knew about Karsus' massacre of the Paladins!" Augustus shouted in a cold voice, "Tell me, were you also involved?"
Rossweisse's face was pale. Just as he was about to defend himself, Qin Chu stepped forward to block Rossweisse behind him. He bowed like a gentleman and said, "Your Majesty the Pope, you misunderstood. Your Highness the Saint was not involved."
"Your Highness the Saint just doesn't want to cause a full-scale conflict between the brave team and the Holy See, leading to a civil war in mankind, so please conceal this matter." Qin Chu explained apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I knew about this a long time ago, but I failed to tell everyone the truth."
Qin Chu stood up and gave Rossweisse her innocence. Although she was still at fault, it was much smaller.
It's just that the meaning behind the words is much more sinister. Did you see that the brave team is not afraid of a head-on conflict with you, and even wants to start a civil war? Please be careful.
Athena and Rossweisse may not be able to hear it, but Wadsworth, Santa Monica and Augustus, who control the army across the street, cannot help but take these words at heart.
Rossweisse's eyes were shining as she stared at Qin Chu's back, suddenly feeling that this man seemed pretty good?
At this moment, he was still speaking for himself. If Master Jero hadn't been in front of him, maybe he would really have a good impression of him.
Of course, compared with Master Jero, he is not even worthy of carrying his shoes.
But for the sake of him excusing himself this time, it’s not impossible to give him some benefits in the future.
This kind of man, as long as there is the slightest temptation, will immediately pounce on him, just like a dog...
Athena's eyes were filled with pity... This poor man is still talking for Rossweisse. You don't even know who Ekaterina and Rossweisse are, let alone what they are behind.
Are we planning to kill you?
What a pathetic man.
Because Karsus had a more serious matter to deal with, and Qin Chu was interceding, Rossweisse and Ekaterina secretly took Qin Chu out of the imperial city, concealing Karsus' massacre of the Paladins.
, I was just criticized briefly and that was it.
As for Nadia, she was also warned that if she encounters this kind of thing again, she must stop it.

At noon, Augustus entertained everyone, but because he had seen too many bloody heads before, they basically had no appetite.
Qin Chu left in the middle of the afternoon.
After taking a few steps, there was a rush of footsteps from behind. It was Rossweisse, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, chasing after her from behind.
"Your Excellency the Brave..."
The soft and charming call made Qin Chu stop.
Arriving in front of Qin Chu, Rossweisse's little hands caressed her chest, which was jumping involuntarily as she ran quickly. The whiteness under the pure white saint's dress attracted Qin Chu's eyes like a magnet.
p>
I always feel that the neckline of Rossweisse's saintly dress seems to be more open, and I don't know if it's Qin Chu's imagination.
Qin Chu's eyes made Rossweisse feel proud. Although there were Angelica, Nadia, and even the careless Violet beside the hero, as long as she was willing to show a little temptation, the focus of the hero would be
You will immediately focus on yourself.
She, Saint Rossweisse, is not on the same level as those other vulgar fans.
Thoughts of pride were swirling in her heart, Rossweisse's face was as gentle as ever: "Your Majesty the Brave, thank you just now for interceding for me in front of the Pope..."
Qin Chu took his eyes away from his fair skin with great difficulty, and then shook his head in a gentlemanly manner: "Your Highness, I didn't intercede for you, I just told the truth."
Rossweisse smiled softly, she was very satisfied with Qin Chu's answer:
"By the way, why were you shouting just now?"
The voice was sweet and delicate, with a bit of embarrassment, and seemed to be complaining about Qin Chu's just shouting. If Qin Chu could have shut up at that time, many things would not have happened.
Qin Chu's face seemed a little aggrieved, but he just stared at Rossweisse silently. That look made Rossweisse's heart beat faster for no reason.
After a long time, Qin Chu withdrew his gaze with some loneliness: "When she heard Augustus questioning Karsus, Her Highness the Saint looked at me subconsciously..."
"I have always kept my agreement with you, but Your Highness the Saint has never trusted me."
"I'm sad."
He absolutely abided by Rossweisse's agreement. After all, he did not tell Augustus that Karsus was the murderer. He just wrote a small note. There are countless people in this world every day.
It is not illegal to write small notes.
Tell Athena the truth. Jero did it. What does it have to do with Qin Chu?
What a gentleman who abides by his promise. It’s really touching.
After saying a few words, the sad Qin Chu left resolutely without looking back!
