Chapter 432: Farce in the Courtroom
After spending some time waking up Paimon, everyone asked the little guide for his opinion.
After careful consideration, Paimon, who was concerned about Kong and Ying, cast the first vote to stay in Guili City.
According to her,...
"If something goes wrong with the teleportation array, like what happened last time in the Northern Territory... there was a problem with the teleportation array in Qingquan Town, which forced us to use the teleportation array from the location of the Wolf Territory to go to Mondstadt."
"So just in case, let's stay in Guili City for a few more days."
So, after everyone reached a consensus, they chose to stay in Guili City.
……
In the holy Lemuria, in the royal capital Atlantis, in the Supreme Court of Justice, the Scales of Justice, Navilette, the highest judge, looked at everything that seemed a little noisy in front of him, with no fluctuations in his expression.
He held the Inquisitor's Hammer, which had long since transformed into a divine weapon, and struck it lightly.
boom!
"quiet!"
As the two words of truth fell, the Supreme Court, which had been somewhat noisy, suddenly fell into silence.
Seeing this scene, Villette slowly told the following content.
"This trial is a public prosecution brought by Shadow Hunter Thrall against Viscount Rogge."
"The content of the public prosecution is: Shadow Hunter sensed the aura of forbidden alchemy in Viscount Rogge's manor, and therefore seriously suspected that Viscount Rogge was involved in the use of forbidden alchemy."
"According to Article 249 of the Holy Lemuria Empire Calendar, anyone who participates in the research or use of forbidden alchemy will be sentenced to more than five years in prison. If serious consequences are caused, the death penalty will be immediately executed."
Navrette looked around with a cold gaze.
"Defendant, Viscount Roger, do you admit your crime?"
Rogge stood in his dock with a murky look on his face, but after hearing what Villette said, he adjusted his expression in an instant and loudly protested his innocence.
"My Lord, I am innocent! I rented out that manor a long time ago. I have never been inside, let alone participated in forbidden alchemy! Someone must have framed me!"
Sal stood up and said seriously.
"As a Shadow Hunter, I am extremely sensitive to evil auras. I am sure that what I felt in the manor at that time was the aura of forbidden alchemy."
"And I seriously doubt that Roger was involved in the research or use of forbidden alchemy, because... he has a very deep evil in him!"
There was an uproar in the courtroom, and everyone began to talk.
Navrette struck the Inquisitor's gavel again.
"Silence! In view of the fact that both parties have their own opinions, this court has decided to send an investigation team to Rogge Manor to conduct an investigation. During this period, Viscount Rogge will be imprisoned in the First Prison and is not allowed to leave. The final judgment will be made after the results of the investigation come out. Court is adjourned!"
Following the past handling methods, Villette made this judgment quickly.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a strange smell attracted his attention.
Feeling the strange breath, Villette turned back and looked at Viscount Rogge, who lowered his head and trembled all over.
"You bold villain, I can tell at a glance that you are not a good person!"
Shadow Hunter Thrall, feeling the aura that he hated so much, immediately jumped down from his seat and turned into a flash of light, rushing towards the defendant's seat where Rogge was.
huh~
A ray of light flashed, and the power emitted by the small scale of justice behind Villette imprisoned Sal in mid-air.
"No disturbances allowed in the courtroom!"
After saying this to Sal as a routine, Villette waved his hand, the restraining force disappeared, and Sal fell to the ground from mid-air.
This time, after falling to the ground, Thrall did not act rashly, but looked towards Rogue's position with hatred on his face.
“Hehehehehehe…” Black aura gradually spread from Viscount Rogge’s body, filled with extremely dangerous power.
"Originally, I wanted to give you some face and let this trial go by casually..."
"Then Villette, I'll give you..."
Before he finished saying the word "face", a blue light suddenly enveloped Rogge's body. In an instant, his body turned into dust and was completely annihilated on the spot.
Navillatte, who was sitting in the judge's seat, slowly withdrew his hand.
"After actual verification, it is determined that Viscount Rogge was indeed involved in the research and use of forbidden alchemy, and intended to openly attack others in the court of inquiry. According to the Holy Lemuria Empire Calendar, Viscount Rogge will be sentenced to death and executed immediately!"
boom!
The Inquisitor's hammer struck again, making a dull sound.
"Closed court!"
……
After leaving the Supreme Court, Villette took out his pocket watch and looked at the time on it. A light curtain appeared, and the calendar of the continent of Teyvat appeared before his eyes.
"In seven days, it will be Demon Hunting Day..."
There was a flash of light, and a special token appeared in his hand again.
"I probably won't be in Holy Lemuria for the next fourteen days..."
Looking back at the Supreme Court, he shook his head slightly.
"Let's take a look at my hunting target this time. I hope it will be a bit challenging."
Putting the token and pocket watch back into his arms, Villette looked around.
In the capital of Holy Lemuria, the casual use of supernatural powers is not allowed, so Villette walked slowly along the road and came to the Star-Picking Tower on the sacred mountain.
"Villet, what do you want to talk to me about?" The original pure water elf Lilia manifested a phantom and appeared in front of Villette.
"The demon hunting day that happens once every ten years is coming soon." Navilette said calmly.
"Well, what do you want to say?" Lilia nodded and asked.
"The Demon Hunting Day will come in seven days, and each hunt will last for seven days."
"That is to say, in the next fourteen days, I'm afraid that the territory of Holy Lemuria will be somewhat unstable."
"I'll trouble you then, Ms. Lilia."
"This is just my job..." Lilia responded calmly: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"A few days ago, there was a rumor from the Northern Territory that the God's throne was about to be replaced... I am looking for the source of the rumor and don't have time to chat with you for the time being."
"Well, go and get busy." That Vilette nodded, turned around and left.
Lilia was not at all surprised by this. She returned to her nest and continued to surf the Internet... no, looking for the source of the rumors.
"I don't know how many patrollers will participate in the Demon Hunting Day this time..."
She shook her head gently.
"Anyway, I'm not good at fighting, and I'm not a patrol officer, so it's better not to get involved."
"But what Villette said is right. In the next period of time, I'm afraid those hidden villains will expose themselves..."
Recalling the information that the pure water elf had monitored through the water veins, she shook her head.
As time passed, she felt again and again how wise and powerful her own Divine King was.
The terrible and evil events that happened to humans were truly astonishing to her, and she exclaimed that humans were so horrible.
"No wonder there have been fewer and fewer mortals in power over the past few thousand years..."
"If I were a leader, I wouldn't want these complicated people to be in power."
Shaking her head and getting rid of unnecessary thoughts, Lilia divided her mind into two parts, one to continue monitoring the "ocean current" system, and the other...
