The identity of the high priest was equal to that of the representatives of the Magic Association. Mongnett did not stand up to greet him like he did when he welcomed Lucien. He just nodded and said hello.

"You can't let this evil guy go easily! The successful transformation of Kelin Baier's property under his name is the best evidence, not to mention that they are both evil mages, and a Holy Light Judgment can distinguish the authenticity." Although Ramd had no evidence to prove the identity of Victor's undead, he wanted to use Kelin's transformation to successfully pull Victor into the water together.

"Elder Ramd, don't you think it's unfair to do this?" In fact, Lucien arrived at Jingyao the second day of the duel, but did not contact Victor because he wanted to avoid suspicion. In addition, he had not met Princess Lantia for a long time and had been with his mother these days. I heard Fernandez mention the result of the duel.

"I have not revenge on my own. He was teleported to the lower world by the Gate of Another World. I don't believe that this kid can return with his own strength." Even though he didn't feel Victor had no breathing or heartbeat like Pero, Ramd still linked the changes of the Gate of Another World and the Lich after returning to Jingyao. He didn't believe that there were really anyone in the world who could master the skills that a great wizard could master in less than 20 years old. No one had seen the prayer technique, whether it was true or false, and no one could expose it even if he lies.

"Gate of another world!" Mongnett's eyes changed, and Lucien sighed.

With such obvious evidence, how could he save this half-brother?

[That, just a lie told to achieve a certain purpose. There is no book that records that people who enter the lower world will come back alive.] Victor feels that he needs to explain it, otherwise it will definitely be turned into ashes by these fanatical Mara believers.

"What lie?" Lucien saw that Victor finally defended himself, hurriedly continued the topic. His question delayed the action of the judges who were ready to subdue the evil mage.

[Kelin exchanged the exchange of telling me some shameful little secrets from Ramd, hoping that I would get him something very important to him.]

"You are lying!" The veins on Ramd's forehead swelled up. The boy wanted to drag himself into the water until his death.

"Would you lie and let him continue, Elder Ramd. This is the sacred church, not your wizard tower, please don't make a loud noise." Lucien's reminder was a bit lost. He seemed to have not figured out where he was. This time he even saved the honorifics, showing extreme dissatisfaction.

"Cough..." The high priest coughed dryly, and did not speak to express his agreement with Lucien's words. Ramd had no reason to refute, so he had to stand aside in disappointment.

"Victor Wood, please continue to explain." Lucien turned his gaze to Victor. He must find a sufficient reason, otherwise even me will not be able to protect you...

[Ke Lin is a famous evil man, and no one dares to help him, so he had to find me who also practiced evil methods. I and him were just using each other purely. As for what he was looking for, it seemed to be a pendant lost in the ruins of Togus many years ago. I saw that the transaction was good, so I agreed. The so-called teleportation was just a scene for others to watch. I had never been to the lower world at all. The teleportation performed by Ke Lin was just moving to the college's cemetery for a short distance, and using the loopholes in the magic wall there to throw the map drawn by Ke Lin to friends who were waiting outside the wall.]

"I know the rules of the college. Apprentices are not allowed to leave Jingyao before graduation, but since you cannot leave this city, how can you help Kelin Baier? Besides, just passing messages or giving something, why not meet your friends directly? This is contrary to common etiquette." After hearing Victor's explanation, Mongnett felt that there was something reasonable, but some things were not reasonable.

[This is to ask this elder Ramd. For some reason, he always disliked me, a freshman. From the first day of his enrollment, he instigated the war department's mentor to make things difficult for me. With such a mentor, how could I apply for the opportunity to go out to meet friends? Besides, Ke Lin himself admitted that his duel to me was entirely due to Ramd's instruction.]

"You're talking nonsense!"

Seeing that the frame-up became a revelation of himself, Ramd hurriedly angrily. Unfortunately, Mongnett's personality is jealous of evil and is very disgusted with behavior like him.

"Elder Ramd, because you are the whistleblower, I invited you to the scene. If you don't speak carefully, I have to force you to leave."

The second time he received the warning, Ramd had to shut up.

[If you go to the college to investigate, you will find out if you don’t know that Ke Lin is your secret lackey. As long as you dislike whoever you want to get rid of any competitor, you will ask Ke Lin for help. If you remove your opponent, he will get shelter and everyone will be happy.]

Ramd dared not speak out, so he could only stare at Victor fiercely with his eyes, but his eye knife's lethality was obviously not enough, so the lich ignored it.

"Well, even if you go to the weakest place in the magic wall to pass on the message and map, how can you explain that Ke Lin will complete the conversion in the property under your name?" This is unclear and you cannot get rid of the suspicion. Lucien cannot see Victor's face, and cannot tell from his expression whether he is confident or panicked.

[That is also part of the deal. After I could not bear the repeated provocations of my mentor Amiye, I sent a duel invitation. Ramde ordered Ke Lin, who was in the same dormitory as me, to give him a little magic sealing potion every day to help his disciples win. Oh, I forgot to say that this former war tutor has another identity. He is a disciple of Ramde, and this is also known to Jingyao. At first, I didn't know that what Ke Lin was going to do was transform the undead, and I thought he was going to do some dark spell experiment. If I knew that his purpose was to transform the undead, I would definitely not let myself fall into such danger.]

"Well... your explanation is reasonable, both emotional and reasonable." Mongnett pondered for a moment and made a request to make Lucien's face slightly change: "But I can't let you go back just because of your discernment. So, you recite the prayer engraved on the hall. I know you are a tongueless person and cannot really read it, but it is OK to write with a tongue stick."

"Great Sacrifice, this seems..." Just writing is enough to cause serious damage to the evil people, let alone the undead. Lucien doesn't know how to restore the situation now. He has become a church knight for several years and has personally tried many undead mages. He did not expect to witness his half-brother being annihilated today.

[Can you change to another trial method? Anyway, as long as you identify whether I practice the art of the undead, it doesn’t matter what method I use.]

Victor's suggestion was not rejected, and Mongnett agreed to its request: "So, what method do you want to prove it?"

[The Light of Mara, which is a holy instrument, is more authoritative than a prayer.]

For ordinary undead, Victor's proposal was entirely suicide.

The lethal power of the sacred object to the undead is greater than that of the Holy Light. After all, the effect of the divine artifact depends entirely on the divine grace of the spell caster. However, the holy object is different. The light of Mara itself has extremely strong light attributes, and the holy power added during casting. Even if the distance is very far, it can feel its power.

Victor wants to use holy objects to prove that he has nothing to do with Kelin's transformation, and it depends entirely on the entity it has just recovered for a while.

The cherry is known to be favored by God and is blessed at birth. In the long history of the Holy See, basically one-third of the popes came from cherry. As the heir to the purest blood of recent centuries, it once had the same glory as Lucien.

Although the third-ranked Sun Heart has changed hands, as both sacred objects, the light of Mara should have sensed the divine grace that this body has enjoyed. It is inevitable that it will be injured, but it will never be annihilated. Victor is very sure of this. With touching the holy objects as evidence, the Holy See will not cause trouble in a short period of time.

I wondered if Lucien, who was planning to do something, asked Mongnett if he could change his mind.

"The high priest, even if it is not the undead, the prayer of light will greatly damage the evil dark mage. If this mage has any accidents, it may cause some unnecessary trouble. Those militants who are ready to move may take this as an opportunity to trigger another Civil War."

Originally, he hoped to use the example from eighty years ago as a warning, but Lucien underestimated the stubbornness of the high priest. Mongnett shook his head and insisted that Victor complete the test of his identity, otherwise he would never let it go.

"How do you prove that you are just an ordinary evil wizard?" Mongnett stood up from the seat, holding the scepter embedded with the sunstone in his hand. With just a brief prayer, he could launch the Holy Light Judgment that could completely annihilate the undead.

[The Light of Mara is a holy object. There is no undead that it cannot kill in the world. Even Paglot, known as the Lich King, was defeated by it.] Victor raised his hands under the gauntlet of Lucienpei's flower-shaped sword at his waist. A burnt smell immediately spread in the air.

"You're crazy..." Seeing Victor's hands keeping smoke rising, Lucien was about to push it away, but Mongnett was drunk.

"His Excellency Paladin!"

This shout made Lucien stop.

What am I doing?

Victor is the dead. Even if he can't keep it, his father will not blame him too much. After all, it was his own accident that caused such a result. But why did I stop Victor from using holy relics to test with the suspicion of the great priest? Could it be that I really regarded him as a relative...

No, this is impossible. Victor and I have only met once. How could we accept that he is a member in such a short time after only two days? It is impossible...

Lucien's mind was in chaos. When he came to his senses, he heard a scream around him. He took him to look closely and saw that the light of Mara had been pulled out of the sheath by Victor. The lightsaber emitted a dazzling light in his hands, making a "buzzing" sound, and trembling slightly.

"What a pity..." Mongnett murmured.

This young man was able to make the sacred objects feel, which means he had good spiritual power. If he devoted himself to the light, he would definitely do a lot. It’s a pity... he chose the wrong camp.

He raised the holy object above his head, and the face under Victor's mask couldn't help but smile proudly. Although his hands were burned by the aura emitted by the holy object itself to the point of burning, it still grabbed the light-like holy sword and raised it above his head.

"Let go!" He snatched the light of Mara, and Lucien inserted the sword back into the sheath: "It's enough, the high priest, he has done this level."

"The undead cannot let the holy objects emit such a bright light. Victor Wood, your suspicion is washed away." Mongnett waved his hand, and the judges knights surrounding Victor immediately retreated aside. He felt very puzzled as he saw two interlaced deep marks on his pale palm.

There has never been such a record in the past that the evil wizard could actually touch the holy objects. Perhaps... he reported what should have happened today to the Grand Secretary of Saint Vassetis.

[Can I leave now?]

He wrote the crooked words with his trembling hands. After obtaining the permission of the high priest, Victor pushed Lucien away who was trying to check his injuries, and did not look at Ramde, who was stunned and walked straight out of the trial.

After making an excuse, Lucien didn't stay for too long. He searched for the unique spiritual power of the Light of Mara and found Victor standing against the wall in an alley not far from the Judicial Office. His dark robe almost merged with the night.

"Victor..."

"Don't come here." Without sensing the living creature nearby, Victor stopped Lucien, who was approaching step by step.

"Your injury..."

"No need to worry about the Paladin."

"What are you talking about?"

"Haha... do you think I don't see the hesitation in your eyes and the disgust that flashed away? I thought you and Mendel were different. He was not a qualified father, but I always thought that you would always be a little different from him when you grew up in the Holy See. Unexpectedly... you are indeed father and son, just as ruthless." Lucien's hesitation and struggle Victor saw it all. Through him, the lich remembered the past that was hidden deep in his memory and its real half-brother. The most common thing that appeared in that person's eyes was this disgust.

"I have been helping you, you are going to the dead end! If you weren't lucky, how could you blame me so arrogantly?" Lucien instinctively defended himself. When he thought of a dark thought deep in his heart, he became irritable for no reason.

No, I have no hope of him dying, I just...I don't want to be dragged down by myself. Concealing the existence of a lich is a serious crime for the priest. Once exposed, not only will the honor of the Paladin be lost, but also exiled to the Beilu. He does not want the situation to eventually develop into an uncontrollable situation.

"I didn't expect you to really help me from the beginning."

Although there is a lack of common sense in life, Victor has experienced many betrayals about human nature, and he cannot see what Lucien is thinking.

"You should continue to avoid suspicion. Going too close to an evil mage will affect your evaluation in the Holy See. My father still expects you to inherit his ideals."

After surviving the first wave of burning caused by the holy relics, Victor took another step and left the dull Lucien far behind.

Since the church's problems have been resolved, it is time to find Kelin Baier, who did not follow the agreement.
