13 Mink Street

The judge said: "Now please state the case."

Alfred stood up. However, just as he was about to tell the story, the chief bishop Walfren, who was sitting in the VIP gallery, slowly raised his hand.

His status is really special, especially when he appears here in person today, his every move represents the collective will of the entire York City region, so he cannot but be taken seriously.

Presiding Judge Gaspar looked towards the VIP gallery and asked, "Your Excellency, do you have any objections?"

Walforon nodded, stood up, and said:

"It stands to reason that since I'm sitting in the public gallery, I shouldn't talk too much, but I found a strange thing, that is, the trial has already begun, but the Vicola adjudicator, oh, huh, before the conviction and sentence, Lord Judge, please allow me to continue to call his position, I found that there is no defender beside the Vicolai Judge."

Gaspole replied: "In accordance with the trial tradition of the Whip of Order, the suspect does not have the power of counsel when he is tried."

Walforon said with a smile: "Any tradition needs to keep pace with the times; some traditions may still be preserved in the Dingle region, but they have been lost for a long time in the Yorktown region. It is a process of getting familiar with and accepting gradually, so correspondingly, I think there should be some changes.

For example, I don't think it's too much to ask for a defender for the Vicole adjudicator. "

The Religion of God is an organization established by a group of fanatical believers to worship and follow God. In this organization, it is really normal to ignore the rights of people.

The current Whip of Order is far worse than the Whip of Order in its heyday. Just from the "traditions" that have been handed down, we can see where the gap is;

For example, those who investigate, arrest, arrest, prosecute, and even the presiding judge sitting in the trial seat are all members of the Whip of Order system, which is equivalent to covering the police station, procuratorate, and court.

It's no wonder that the local region and other factions are so resistant to the policy of the Whip of Order's resurgence, because as long as it raises its head again, other factions in the church will become food in its mouth.

Therefore, all along, everyone tacitly suppressed it collectively, if it weren't for the fact that the system of the Whip of Order was established and planned by Lord Tiranus himself, and it has an indispensable political Status, perhaps this system has long been dismantled and dissipated in the long river of history.

Of course, now representing the Whip of Order, I seem to have no motivation to question this "tradition", and what I am doing now is actually to restore the "tradition".

Furthermore, Karen would not naively think that the system and traditions created by the sages of the Cult of Kosmos could be modified by him at will. He was self-aware.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that there is no defender around Vicole. Karen has discovered it a long time ago, but he doesn't think it is really wrong. Although in reality, many countries have developed many corresponding systems. It is used to ensure the so-called "fairness" and maintain "individual freedom", but Karen does not think that set can be directly used on the religion.

Because the secular country is governed by people, while the gods are governed by believers... and a large proportion of believers are priests. Can these priests be the same as ordinary people?

A Qihe, after falling down, can do such a thing; when Mrs. Sidra took revenge, she chose the priest of order as her revenge target. If she lost her mind and chose to take revenge on ordinary people, what would happen? s consequence?

In addition, during the time Karen came to Wayne from Luojia City, he saw with his own eyes the harm caused by many fallen priests, so he felt in his heart that such bastards had to rely on this system to carry out the most brutal clean up.

So what about imbalances, even gross ones that are clearly visible to the naked eye?

If this is the heyday of the Whip of Order, a person like Vicole may be sentenced in court after completing the procedure, and then executed that night.

So what if he was the bishop's grandson?

The God of Order had already set an example by personally executing his own daughter.

Thinking of this, Karen couldn't help but set his eyes on the "Order Regulations" in front of him.

[The God of Order sent Ankara to the mouth of the beast, and her death lit up the "Light of Order". 】

In the past, Karen felt that he understood the records in the myth of order, but now, sitting here, facing the situation at this time, Karen found that his understanding of this sentence went deeper.

Karen couldn't help but reached out and put his hand on the "Order Regulations", caressing its frosted cover;

In the ear, continuing to listen to the conversation between the chief bishop of Walforon and the presiding judge Gaspar, Karen's state of mind suddenly changed. He suddenly felt that his previous understanding of the God of Order was still superficial. .

I used an almost pure and naive imagination to shape the "God" in my heart;

That "god" is the same as "the sky, the earth, and the grassy dog" that Alfred often recalls.

So, when the two don't match, I start to criticize the god of order.

But if we compare the God of Order to an existence that moves from the starting point step by step to the commanding heights, compare the God of Order to himself, to Vic by his side, to Alfred, and even to Pu'er and Kevin at home. What about them?

He is a "person", he has his own growth experience, it is not a loud bang in the sky, and the perfect god of order just appeared.

Now it seems that many of the actions of the God of Order are actually deliberately cutting up the problems caused by the fact that he is a "human" who has become a god. For example, whether his punishment of Ankara was also due to the discovery of internal corruption and the clean-up of the order, Is there bound to be a situation represented by the scene in front of you?

When the supreme god has already done this, then Vicole's grandfather, the chief bishop, these people, what face, no, what qualifications do they have to appear here?

Even, the God of Order's handling of the God's Burial Ground is like a deliberate cut with the God of Light, because the God of Light and the God's Burial Ground have reached an agreement, and the relationship between the God of Light and the God of Order Although there have been different opinions about the relationship at the end, it is generally accepted that the two main gods had at least a long honeymoon period.

Therefore, God of Order and you are constantly "discovering problems" and "solving problems".

Thinking of this, Karen suddenly wanted to light a cigarette for himself, but it is a pity that smoking is not appropriate on this occasion. Maybe the presiding judge will directly identify a person who does not respect the court, eat the whip lightly, and expel himself directly go out.

However, one thing is certain is that with the dialogue between Walforon and Gaspol, everyone present began to think and diverge, but Karen must be the one whose thinking diverged the farthest.

Because probably no one would have expected that at this moment, the young man sitting on the side of the trial seat was actually thinking about a new interpretation of the classics of doctrine.

Vic didn't expect it. Alfred's words were also unexpected before he didn't habitually glance at the young master beside him. After he glanced over, he immediately realized that something was wrong. A sense of temperament.

After all, in this world, Alfred is the one who is most likely to resonate with Karen in terms of thinking and thinking.

Alfred silently took out his pamphlet, picked up the pen, pretended to be preparing, and wrote in the pamphlet:

"At this moment, the young master's eyes suddenly became deep, young master, are you thinking about something?

I guess, the young master is thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him, and what kind of method should be used to restore order to order, because if the internal order cannot be dealt with properly, let the light of order shine on the world forever. It will always be a torch of wishful thinking. When it burns to the end, it will burn out.

However, my guess may be wrong, but I believe that I can finish the series of events before my eyes, and after the young master returns home, I will read the young master's diary, there should be the answer that the young master left for me. "

"Does the chief lord have any defenders?" the presiding judge Gaspar asked.

"There is indeed a more suitable candidate, and he is also very familiar with the case, and he is trustworthy in terms of professionalism."

"It requires a paper application," Gaspor said.

"hehe."

Wo Fulun took out an application letter from the sleeve of the divine robe and handed it to the clerk in front of him.

"The written application has been prepared. I'm sorry. I originally wanted to submit it to the presiding judge when we sat down, but...you started the trial too quickly."

Gaspole took the application form from the clerk, opened it, and glanced at it.

Alfred stared slightly, and he noticed the extremely subtle pupil changes of the presiding judge, which meant that the defender recommended by the district made her feel very troublesome.

Alfred immediately closed the booklet, leaned slightly towards his master, and whispered, "Master, something seems to be going wrong."

Karen said disapprovingly: "Isn't it expected a long time ago, it's strange that there are no problems."

The three bishops of the district were sitting in the VIP auditorium, how could it be possible that they just came to simply observe?

At this moment, the door of the trial hall was pushed open. It stands to reason that it is normal for people to come and go from time to time at this time. Some people are late, some people have something to do, and some people want to go to the bathroom. Although the Trial Court is serious, it does not restrict personal freedom.

But when this man came in, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience, because he was wearing a bishop's robe.

The fourth diocesan bishop present!

And when Karen saw the bishop, his previously indifferent expression finally tensed up.

Bishop of Bern.

His son, Derius, is the son of God of Pamires.

During that security mission, Karen had contact with the bishop, and then again during the security mission of the Son of God of the Luna Sect.

The background of this bishop is very mysterious. Although he is at the bottom of the sequence of bishops in the York City District, some of the things he has mastered are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface.

In fact, he is more suitable for the position of head of the Whip of Order in this region than Harry.

In other words, the rise of the Whip of Order in this region will directly take away his authority, because the Whip of Order also has a shadow attribute, which greatly overlaps with the power he possesses.

Bishop Bern walked down step by step, stood still at the small railing, and waited for the presiding judge to allow him to enter.

Karen immediately whispered: "Alfred, reorganize the case statement; Vic, reorganize the chain of evidence. Remember, this man's eyes are as vicious as a falcon, which places cannot be scrutinized, and which places are over-exaggerated. Where can be omitted, quickly make a decision to modify."

"Yes, master."

"Yes, Captain."

Alfred and Vic immediately started flipping through the materials in their hands and began to make quick revisions.

As if hearing the sound of turning the pages, Bishop Berne set his sights here.

Karen nodded to Bishop Bern.

A smile appeared on the corner of Bishop Bern's mouth.

This kind of opponent has already put you under great pressure before you have confronted.

For a moment, when Karen looked at Bishop Dolfo who was sitting in the VIP gallery again, and Bishop Dolfo who sensed Karen's gaze responded with a gloomy smile again...

Karen suddenly found Bishop Dolfo very cute.

Gaspar said:

"This court allows additional defenders for suspects, but the review of the qualifications of defenders and the subsequent revision of the process will take a certain amount of time. It is now decided to adjourn the court for one hour.

Snapped! "

The whip blew again, announcing an adjournment.

Gaspar stood up, and her judges also got up and followed her out.

Vicole, who was standing in the cage, pressed his forehead against the cage, and the corners of his mouth could not be restrained. He was very happy and wanted to laugh, but he still had some brains, so he didn't want to be reckless here.

Bishop Dolfo finally withdrew his gaze that had killed Karen a thousand times, and started talking to Walfren and another bishop beside him.

The chief bishop of Walforon ignored him, and another bishop answered him, but his smile seemed a bit forced.

The court was adjourned right after the hearing, and the reporters were already writing the draft quickly, and then went out one after another to hand the draft to the assistants outside, and these assistants would deliver the news in the fastest way.

The person in charge of the missionary station and the office who were sitting there also set off together. At this time, they also became like the reporters and began to come in and out one after another.

There is an almost tacit understanding that missionaries and offices, as well as higher-level religious diplomatic embassies, basically do part-time intelligence and espionage work, and sometimes the latter may be more like the main business.

However, at this moment, someone walked in.

He didn't wear the bishop's robe, but he still attracted the attention of the audience instantly, because after he came in, he was followed by a group of priests who were wearing black robes with three-dimensional geometric figures on their chests.

With this posture, those who know the division of the internal system of the Cult of Order know that they are a group of priests from a certain formation department. Those who don't know may think that they are here to rob the court.

"Tsk..."

Karen made a sound, leaned back on the chair while turning sideways to look there.

Richard, who was sitting in the public gallery, stood up and shouted in disbelief:

"grandfather!"

That's right, it was Deron Goodman who brought people in at this time.

The old man heard the voice of his own grandson and looked sideways.

Richard waved his hand excitedly:

"grandfather!"

Richard never blamed his grandfather who took him to make amends that day, because he understood what his grandfather did. In fact, Mrs. Tang Li, Kaixi, and Memphis all understood what Delong did;

Even Karen understood it, and he didn't have any excessive emotions about Deron's performance in the chief bishop's office that day.

It's just that for Karen, having a "grandpa" in front of him is too dazzling, but he also knows that few people in this world can have a grandfather like Diss.

Of course, Mr. Delong saw his grandson, but he soon discovered that there was a girl sitting on the farthest side of his grandson.

He turned sideways, and Richard continued to wave to him, like an excited child in a kindergarten who found his parents in line to pick him up.

Father Delong had no choice but to deliberately take another step forward, finally avoiding his eyes from his stupid grandson.

Hmm, pretty girl.

Philomena had been to Goodman's house, but Deron was not at home that day, so this was the first time Deron saw her.

Sensing Deron's gaze, Philomena felt slightly disgusted and closed her eyes.

Mr. Delong smiled, his proud and delicate chin, his disdainful expression, were exactly the same as when his grandma was young.

Um, right?

Mr. Delong once again set his sights on his silly grandson. If she was like Tang Li back then, wouldn't Richard be...

It turns out that I was so stupid back then.

After nodding perfunctorily to Richard, Deron waved his hand. The dozens of formation mages he brought were divided into multiple groups, and the equipment he brought began to be assembled and debugged. This was arranging the formation;

Especially those three huge and rotating mirrors, which means that this is a communication formation, no, it is a real-time broadcast presentation.

Dolfo, who was sitting in the VIP auditorium, stood up, pointed at Deron, and asked:

"Deron, what are you doing!"

Deron looked at Dolfo, saluted him first, and then replied:

"If you go back to the bishop, set up a broadcasting circle here. Later, all regions in the church will have a broadcasting circle. If you want, you can receive and see the screen of the trial meeting."

The last time High Priest Norton declared war on reincarnation, he used this.

"You're crazy! What are you doing!" Dolfo cursed.

Delong did not evade, but directly took out an application form and replied: "Two days ago, the headquarters of the Whip of Order submitted an application to our department for assistance in the installation. This is a tradition of our religion, and the procedures are complete.”

Dole Fu said angrily: "Get out of here immediately with your people, do you hear me?"

Although Dolfo believed in Bishop Bern's ability, Dolfo knew better that the other party had solidified the evidence this time. In addition, he also knew that his grandson had indeed committed a crime, so external pressure was an important factor in this trial. means, otherwise why is he sitting here now?

And once the real-time broadcast is carried out, it is equivalent to putting everything under the spotlight again. At that time, the effect of pressure on myself and the two bishops beside me on behalf of the district will be weakened at once.

What's more, my grandson is now a "suspect". Even if everything goes well in the end and he avoids the harshest punishment, but ends up with a more decent punishment, this kind of public appearance will completely stop him It is possible for the grandson to find a chance to recover in the future!

Deron responded very calmly:

"Bishop Dolfo, you are not in charge of my department. Sorry, I cannot follow your orders directly."

"Chief, take a look." Dolfo looked at Wo Fulun, and he hoped that Wu Fulun would intervene.

Wo Fulun said: "It's useless for me to come forward, the subordinates he brought don't know what's going on here today, they must know, but they still came with him.

They are here to retaliate against you clearly, why did you insist on beating up their grandson that day?

It doesn’t matter what I say, he won’t listen, and his subordinates just listen to him, it’s fine if you lose face, I don’t stand up and lose face, after all, there are so many reporters watching with cameras with. "

"Chief, you..."

Delong looked up, looked at the time, and urged his subordinates to say:

"Hurry up, everyone, don't affect the reopening of the court."

Everyone responded one after another, and then speeded up the work at hand.

Therefore, Mrs. Tang Li persuaded her husband to mobilize her subordinates, students and colleagues to put pressure on the chief bishop to quell the matter. Many loyal subordinates have cultivated many excellent students.

Richard had asked Karen if he wanted his family's universal version of the Rubik's Cube. In fact, it was the version that Mr. Deron had cut down so that people without Goodman's blood could learn to use it.

Even the fact that family inheritance techniques can be passed on in this way shows the old man's personality in dealing with others.

An honest person is often difficult to change, but what happened to his grandson in front of his eyes that day deeply stimulated the old man. At this age, his grandson is treated like this, which is enough to cause a huge impact on this dam.

Coupled with his wife's relief after returning home, the old man finally thought clearly, understood, and let go.

Sometimes you talk about rules, but people don't want to talk to you about rules; sometimes you talk about affection, but people don't care about your affection at all;

Sometimes you want to take a step back, but what you get in return is that others are pressing you harder and harder.

Honest people also have tempers!

...

Dingle Region;

Holy See;

hall.

High Priest Norton sat behind the desk, and people holding documents from all directions came to him from all the light paths, and he was also processing it quickly.

Next to it, in a corner of the hall that no one noticed, High Priest Norton was sitting on the sofa with a book on his lap.

Foden, the Whip of Order, was cutting the cigars for the High Priest with scissors.

When the book turned to the last page, the high priest sighed and said, "This author is writing less and less every month."

Foden picked up a fire stone, lit a cigar and said, "It's probably because Mr. Crede is busy with the truce between reincarnation and the Luna Cult recently, so he doesn't have the energy to take care of it."

Previously, the High Priest had issued a decree to let the cardinal of the Church of Order, who was in charge of war affairs, follow a novel author.

The high priest shook his head and said: "It's not for this reason, it seems that there is still too much money, you can follow up, the monthly money will be halved, and let him be hungry."

"Yes, great priest, I remember."

After handing the lit cigar to the high priest, Foden took out a bead and let it float above the coffee table. The bead projected a picture, which was exactly the scene in the trial hall.

Seeing this scene, the high priest smiled and said, "I said that you are so busy recently, but you still run to me today. It turns out that there is a purpose, haha."

Foden said frankly: "Oh, there is no way. The little wolf cubs below are very hardworking, and they have achieved a lot of results. I, who hold the whip, have to help."

"What happened in York City?" High priest Norton stretched out his hand and gently pressed the center of his brow, "I just reported that a minister of law enforcement died, and the matter is quite strange."

"The dead Minister of Law Enforcement was connected with the York City Regional Management Office. He was from there. Over the years, the lower and middle-level systems of the Whip of Order have been abolished for too long. It is more difficult and harder than imagined to rebuild it. complex."

"Thanks a lot."

"It's not hard, really, you must not say that."

"One day you feel tired and can't pick it anymore, tell me, I can change to another whipper to suffer for you."

"It's too simple, but it's not challenging to do it, is it? This is what you said to me back then, and I always keep it in my heart."

"Okay, let me say a few more words to you, in view of the current situation."

Foden reached out to pick up the water glass on the coffee table, and poured the water into his palm.

"What is this for?"

"In order to better listen to your instructions, I'll wash my ears first."
