Chapter 91: Wonderful, a trial that will go down in history
At night, the moon is like a hook, and the evening wind is bleak.
In the majestic city on the wasteland, thousands of lights were connected together, slightly dispelling the chill in the darkness.
The winter night was deserted, and the room was empty. Ren, who had become a left-behind child, lit the fireplace, and the firewood burned vigorously, continuously emitting red and blue lights.
Then, he went into the kitchen and made several Chinese dishes according to his own preferences, including braised pork, stir-fried cabbage and a bowl of fish soup.
Demigods don't actually need to eat or sleep, but this is a habit.
Regularly maintaining the same living habits as ordinary people helps to maintain humanity. Saints are inhuman, and true gods are completely beyond the world. But Renn does not want to be that kind of ruthless and desireless god, so when he is not busy, he spends a day
I will eat all three meals.
After putting the dishes on the table, he glanced at the calendar on the wall and muttered:
"December 25th, it turns out today is my birthday, now I am finally 21 years old..."
After a few days of meditation, I didn't pay much attention to the passage of time. I accidentally forgot my birthday, and naturally I didn't prepare any birthday party.
Forget it, that's okay.
This kind of small birthday is not popular in this world. Extraordinary people live a long life. Usually, nobles will only hold birthday banquets on their tenth or hundredth birthdays such as 10 or 20 years old.
21st birthdays like this are generally not celebrated.
If a birthday party is held every year, wouldn’t a saint have to celebrate 500 birthdays?
That's too frequent. Today is the birthday of this saint, and tomorrow is the birthday of that saint. Then the nobles don't have to do anything. They go to have dinner every day...
Valkyrie: [Happy birthday!]
Artoria: [Happy birthday!]
By coincidence, the next moment, two messages were sent from the contact platform almost at the same time.
Renn smiled slightly, feeling warm in his heart, and simply replied to the two women he loved most.
Both women expressed regret for not being able to be by his side. They both said they had prepared gifts and would give them to him when they met.
Especially Sister Cheap, who said she would arrive in two days and would give him a surprise then.
"Is there any surprise?"
Ren scratched his head, a little curious.
He used to take care of his cheap sister. For a while, he helped select and buy her clothes, jewelry and cosmetics.
Of course, Artoria also gave him things, and they were all very precious, such as the sword scabbard Avalon and the World Tree seeds in the elven sacred object "The Staff of Nature".
There were three World Tree seeds in total. She took one and gave him the remaining two.
Then he gave another World Tree seed to Kesha.
It can be said that Cheap Sister has the luck of the European Emperor. Since meeting her, Ren's luck has improved. He really started to turn around after the Fourth Holy Grail War in the Moon World.
She always used to leave the most precious things to him...
Recalling these things, Ren raised the corner of his mouth and sent a message to comfort his wife and sister, telling them not to worry about it. The future was very long and they would live happily together sooner or later.
His dream is to sleep with other women in the luxurious Crystal Palace, have a football team baby, and share a family together.
"Boom!"
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Renn turned off the communication platform in his mind, stopped YY, looked at the door with some doubts, and said:
"Please come in."
Squeak~
The door was pushed open, and a tall and straight man with a tough and masculine face walked in.
He wears a knight's leather armor with exquisite patterns, with temple and angel wing-shaped badges on his shoulders. On his chest are four holy roses and various medals of honor. His pair of bright blue eyes give people a majestic, masculine and upright feeling.
.
"It turns out that Commander Gonzalez is here. Come on, please take a seat."
Ren smiled warmly and invited Captain Gang to the table, "Have you eaten? I cooked a few side dishes. If you don't mind, how about having dinner together?"
Before the change, Gonzalez might have felt flattered and honored.
But now...
"snort!"
Captain Gang came over with a dark face and a constipated expression, "Forget it, I can't afford it. I don't dare to sit on your dinner table."
That night, he was so drunk that he fell unconscious and was dragged into the bedroom by two ladies. When he woke up the next day, all his clothes had been stripped off, he was dizzy, and had some back pain...
He was bewitched and raped by two female gangsters, Gan!
That's it, men don't suffer from this kind of thing, they are still in a daze, and they still enjoy it...cough.
But this caused him to completely miss Michael’s purge of church clergy!
The next day, Teacher Richard rushed over and sprayed him bloody in front of all the clergy outside the church, causing him to lose all face.
Ren grinned, unable to hide his gloating, and said hypocritically: "That was an accident, Captain, how did I know that Michelle would do such a thing."
Captain Oka: (????), your back molars almost popped out when you laughed, and you said you didn’t do it on purpose?
"you do not know?"
Gonzalez looked at him expressionlessly, "Do you dare to touch your conscience and say it again?"
Renn: "..."
Don't touch it, it will hurt.
"Ahem."
He coughed twice, immediately changed the subject, extended his hand to invite, "Don't stand, come on, sit down and talk."
Captain Oka looked wary, sat down across the dining table, glanced at the dishes on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this what you're having for dinner?"
It's too shabby.
Cabbage, fish soup, and braised pork are also ordinary beef. Many free people eat more abundantly than this.
Ren's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he said: "There is no way, I am such a frugal person, but I am not used to eating exotic animals."
Captain Gonzales said with a smile, "That bottle of thousand-year hellfire worth ten thousand gold, wasn't it you who invited me to drink it?"
Pretend, you keep pretending.
"..."
The resentment is so great.
Ren's face twitched, and he cursed secretly, "Didn't I just trick you once? As for being so fussy about it?"
His energy is so small, no wonder he got stuck on the last step and couldn't break through the sky.
A king can hold a boat in his belly, and a real boss would have given up on such trivial matters long ago.
Ren cursed a few times, then immediately changed the subject and said, "We won't talk about this today. You came here because..."
"Let's talk about this first."
Gonzalez snorted, stared at him with an unkind expression, and said unhappily, "I have no enmity with you, why are you trying to trick me like this?"
"Forehead……"
Ren felt a little guilty and said, "It's not me, this is Miss Catherine's intention."
"Catherine?"
"She is Helen's daughter. She has read those love letters and knows that you have been thinking about her mother, so please let me warn you once. She has a very good relationship with my wife, Princess Kesha, and I can't refuse."
"..."
Gonzalez looked embarrassed and hemmed and hawed, losing the confidence to launch an attack to accuse him.
Although he felt that he was infatuated, he also knew that it was wrong to miss his wife.
From Catherine's point of view, it is normal to want to teach him a lesson. After all, he is hooking up with her mother and trying to destroy her family. He is a complete bad guy...
The two fell into silence, and the topic was dropped.
After a while, Renn scooped up the fish soup with a spoon, took a sip, and said leisurely: "Okay, captain, why are you here tonight?"
When business came up, Captain Gonzalez looked serious and said in a serious tone: "Let me convey the words of His Majesty the Pope. Regarding Michelle, he hopes that you will not interfere violently. This is also the imperial royal family's Singer family.
the meaning of."
Ren frowned slightly.
This is a bit difficult to handle.
The Singer family is not as strong as the Feuerbach family. The current emperor is the strongest member of their family, the sixth generation Storm War God Ugo, whose strength is at most about the same as that of the Earth Elder.
Louis, the first-generation Storm War God, exploded and died, his body and soul were destroyed, leaving no trump cards for his family.
His equipment and secret treasures were almost completely destroyed the moment he failed to become a god. Even the semi-artifact-quality holy spear "Redigail" was broken. After being recast, its power was greatly weakened, and it is still only a top-level holy weapon...
Emperor Ugo I of the St. Joan Empire, let alone the Sky Sword Master of the Feuerbach family, even Emperor Charlemagne might not have been able to do it.
Renn is not afraid of the Singer family, but the Holy See headquarters must give them face.
Pope Gregory is a sixth-level false god. He is very powerful and takes good care of his cheap sister. He must give him some face regardless of emotion or reason.
Moreover, the cheap sister will have to be a saint in the church for a while, so it is not appropriate to have too much trouble with the Holy See headquarters.
Ren was thinking about these things, tapping his fingers on the table, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he said:
"His Majesty the Pope just said that violent interference is not allowed, right? Then can I be reasonable?"
Captain Gang: "..."
(ー_ー)!!
It's reasonable, you seem to be teasing me.
If reasoning works, would Michelle still kill people?
Gonzalez's face twitched slightly and said, "Do I look like I'm mentally retarded?"
He really doesn't look very smart...
Ren muttered in his heart, with a smile on his face, and said plausibly: "I am Michelle's friend and one of the participants in the incident. I have the qualifications to explain the incident, provide testimony, and defend my friend, both emotionally and rationally.
Bar?"
What he said was so reasonable that he almost believed it himself.
Gonzalez's face was expressionless, his eyes a little subtle, and he said:
"Indeed, you are an insider of the incident. You should explain the situation when Michelle asked you for help... Well, you can participate in the public trial tomorrow, but you must not threaten everyone with force!"
Ren's heart was moved, his eyes flickered, and he smiled and said: "I will definitely tell you what happened, and besides -"
"What else?"
"In addition, I admit that I am Michelle's accomplice and accomplice, and I am willing to appear in court as a defendant."
"..."
This time, Gonzalez's expression became very exciting.
This...this move is really wonderful.
In this way, the military leader can intervene in this matter openly and above board. The key is that it is reasonable and does not threaten anyone with violence.
But is this okay?
"Well... His Majesty the Pope seems to have never said that." Captain Oka hesitated.
"But he didn't object." Renn spread his hands, "I didn't violently interfere in the internal affairs of the Holy See. As a party involved, I can't follow the normal legal procedures?"
"……All right."
Gonzalez thought for a while and agreed.
He knew very well that if Archduke Connaught did not intervene, Michel would definitely die. Only if the big boss intervened, he would have a chance of survival.
Moreover, this is a normal legal procedure, and no one can find fault with it.
"Then it's such a happy decision."
"Unpleasant, business is business. As an accomplice, you should be tried together."
Gonzalez and Renne looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
………
the next day.
In the early morning, the sky was dark and cloudy, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming.
"Have you heard? Today at the City Hall Court, the Holy See will conduct a public trial of the Holy White Sword Michael."
"I heard it. I can't believe it. Michel actually killed so many clergy. Is he depraved?"
"Who knows? Many people think he is crazy. I am afraid he will be burned at the stake this time."
"Coming, coming, the Vatican's team."
Outside the city hall, passers-by gave way.
The church's team came forward in a mighty manner, with "Silver Spear" Rafael and Captain Gonzales guarding the team one behind the other.
Several teams of elite paladins drew their sharp swords, milky white holy fighting energy surged from their bodies, their eyes were sharp, and they were always alert to their surroundings.
Four red archbishops walked in the middle of the procession, closely guarding Michel, who had changed into a gray and white linen prison uniform and had his hands and feet shackled.
Amid the pointing and talking of passers-by, the group entered the city hall and then moved to the Sand Dune Courthouse on the left.
This court was formerly a temple of an indigenous tribe. The white arched building is made of stone. The walls are smooth and flat, with totem patterns engraved on them. It is built of three feet thick stone, all of which is hard granite.
Like ash crucible, the door material and building are the same.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although this kind of defense cannot resist the saint, it can not be broken by ordinary extraordinary people or even masters.
Michelle had no expression on her face as she walked up the long stone staircase to the high platform of the defendant's seat. The shackles on her hands and feet shook and made a squeaking sound.
With his disheveled hair, indifferent eyes, and dusty old prison uniform, he looked completely different from his usual image.
The seats in the circular square were full of people. They were church believers and residents of the city, preparing to witness this great judgment that shocked the mainland.
"Here we come, it's Michelle, the Holy White Sword!"
"I never thought that the twin stars of the church would one day become prisoners."
"The murderer, the executioner, deserves it for killing so many bishops!"
The crowd in the auditorium talked a lot, and some even cursed and threw vegetables, eggs and stones at Michelle who walked into the dock.
"Quiet! Everyone sit down!"
At this time, on the trial platform directly in front, the presiding judge, Archbishop Timo, patted the stone table, and a king-level aura of sacred force swept across the entire venue, causing the air to groan faintly under pressure.
Only then did everyone calm down.
Michelle walked to the dock and looked around, realizing that there were quite a few big shots here.
The three judges are Archbishop Timo, Richard the Elder, and Cardinal Kant.
Archbishop Timo of the Talisman is the presiding judge and has the final authority to make the decision. He is a saint, does not belong to the orthodox order of the church, and is not affected by factions, so he can make a more fair judgment.
Originally, Captain Oka was more qualified to be a jury judge than Cardinal Kant, but he had just made a mistake and was kicked out because he was Michel's teacher.
Michelle glanced at the plaintiff's table again.
Compared to the lonely defendant's dock, where there was only one person, there was a large group of people standing in the plaintiff's dock.
Led by the Duke of Mars, Storm Prince Matthew, and Miss Mireille, there were also more than twenty representatives of noble families, as well as some family members of the victims.
The jury also has a luxurious lineup.
The Calamity Sword Master, Speaker Daniel, the Nine-Star Elder, Chief Carl, Carlos the Gunman, "Execution Witch" Rosemary, "Justice from Heaven" Alfred, Master Randy, Count Ange... almost everyone in Dune City has a head and face.
All the characters have arrived.
There are also some strong men hiding in the surrounding auditorium.
This is definitely a trial that can be recorded in history. It is a landmark event that witnessed the turmoil and contradiction within the church reaching its peak.
The Calamity Sword Master sat in the jury seat, folded his arms and said:
"Do you think Michelle has a chance of survival?"
Next to him, Speaker Daniel looked around after hearing this, but did not see Archduke Connaught. There was some hesitation on his face, and he sighed:
"There is a high probability that he will be burned to death. Even if he is cleaning out the moths, he will offend too many people at once. Captain Richard will probably shed his skin if he does such a thing."
It's no joke, the king will be revolted, this has already offended the public.
Elder Jiuxing had a calm face, closed his eyes to rest, and seemed to be indifferent to this matter.
In the plaintiff's seat, the Duke of Mars grinned when he saw Michelle. His body as strong as an ox exuded a strong evil spirit and wild aura, and said:
"You kid, you are very brave. If you dare to kill my brother-in-law, then you will go to hell with him."
He smiled unbridled.
Last night, news came from the Holy See headquarters and the royal family that Archduke Connaught had been stopped.
Without that great god, now, people like them can do whatever they want to do with Michelle?
Storm Prince Matthew also showed a confident smile and said:
"Michelle, don't blame me for not cherishing old friendships. You shouldn't use lynching to kill members of the royal family."
Michelle's eyes were cold, indifferent to the enemy's clamor.
Archbishop Timo looked at the Savage Duke who was still threatening the defendant loudly, frowned slightly and said:
"Okay, everyone, be quiet! According to the instructions of the Holy See Headquarters, under the witness of the great Goddess of Light, the Sand Dune Court is now conducting the first public trial of the branch leader of the Knights Templar, Michelle, the Holy White Sword..."
"etc!"
Captain Gonzalez raised his hand to interrupt the judge and said seriously, "Mr. Judge, this incident was committed by a gang, and there are two of Michelle's associates who have not been brought along."
Archbishop Timo was stunned for a moment and asked: "Accomplice?"
Captain Gonzalez nodded and said loudly: "Yes, bring Michelle's accomplices!"
The two young paladins looked constipated, with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads. They led Archduke Conor and a certain man with a handsome face and white hair to the dock.
There was a moment of silence in the square, and you could hear a pin drop.
Ren shook the uncuffed shackles with one hand, smiling broadly, like a superstar at a concert, waving to the crowd and saying:
