Tome of Blood

The arrest of members of the Rosary was a long and complicated process.

Of course, the length and complexity are only for the vigorous and vigorous Trial House. In fact, the Trial House, which has always used thunder to suppress evil, hardly ever lasts for a holy judgment for more than 24 hours.

Especially here is Boulder, the center of power of the church in the southwest of the New Moon Kingdom. From the moment the gates of the city were closed, the Rose Society, an underground gang, was already a shackle.

It was early morning, the thunderstorm had ended, and the wind and rain had gradually subsided.

Above the sky, thick dark clouds are still churning, presenting a dull dark gray in the night.

In the Rose Manor, however, the lights were brightly lit. More and more members of the Rose Society were arrested here, and there were no less than 500 people.

They were unified with their hands bound, bound in series by the sacred chains, and half kneeling on the ground.

Behind them, piles of firewood piles full of grease were built. Although the heavy rain had just stopped, these firewood piles remained dry under the effect of divine magic.

Several trial knights held torches, ready to light the pyre at all times. The flames of the torches were pale golden, and they were the fire of judgment that could burn the soul.

This is the flame of the holy royal court to judge enemies, sinners, heretics and evil people. It is notorious in the continent of Miria. Including the followers of the holy royal court itself, any existence under the flame will be wiped out.

Looking at the pale golden flame, some members of the Rosary Society turned pale, and some looked blank, but... more people glared at the Judgment Knights.

All extraordinary people know the procedure after igniting the fire of judgment, which means that the divine judgment has begun, and there are only two choices left for them——

Or, be wiped out in the flames of judgment.

Or, sign the most harsh judge contract, become a judge, and die for the trial until the last second of your life...

Even death is not the end, their soul power will be recovered by the Judgment's artifact, the Spear of Judgment, and become part of the heritage of the holy royal court.

As for those ordinary people without extraordinary power, there is only one end for them - to burn everything in the fire of judgment.

"My lord Rajiv, except for those who were killed after desperate resistance, and a few who fled to the inner city or outside the city before the city gate was closed, most of the remaining members of the Rosary Order are here."

In front of the second-order trial knight Rajiv, the trainee knight respectfully said.

"Most...? And, why are there so few peripheral members of the Rose Society?"

Rajiv was quick to catch holes in his subordinate's words.

The trainee knight hesitated for a moment, and whispered in Rajiv's ear.

After a while, Rajiv stared and frowned slightly:

"What? The witcher knights are blocking it? Did they attack the trial troops?"

"This group of guys with depraved beliefs...do you know what they are doing?! Is it an order issued by the church!"

"No... no, according to the inquisitor, they seem to be hired."

The trainee knight spoke cautiously.

"Hire?"

Rajiv was stunned, and then, suddenly furious:

"Who hired it? How courageous! They dare to accept this kind of employment?"

"It seems...it seems to be the Castel family."

"Castel?"

The second-order knight Rajiv was slightly taken aback.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the parchment in his hand:

"If I'm not mistaken, the Rose Society seems to have quite a few peripheral members who are closely related to the Castel family, and the president of the Rose Society... even has contacts with Castel's heir."

"Hmph! These degenerate noble families colluded with gangsters and oppressed civilians. I haven't troubled them yet, but I came here myself..."

Beside him, several other second-tier trial knights also nodded:

"Castel... If I remember correctly, this Castel is one of the families that Your Excellency the Grand Knight asked us to focus on?"

"They... also seem to be suspected of being involved in the cult of the evil god. Your Excellency the Great Knight has always suspected that there was something wrong with the blood demon case that night. The Great Priest seems to be hiding something."

"Hmph, for the benefit of your own future, you actually joined forces with such a filthy family, the great priest is really old."

"If it's just for hire, the witcher knights don't dare to participate in the holy judgment. Since Castel is behind the trick, I'm afraid there is also the shadow of the great priest behind it..."

"When this trial is over, it must be reported to Your Excellency the Great Knight. The Great Priest has completely neglected the sanctity of faith and our Trial House!"

The trial knights were very angry.

As the overseers of the church, it is also one of their tasks to supervise whether the priests are qualified.

"Okay, this matter will be discussed after Your Excellency the Grand Knight captures Sebastian Flameheart. Let's start the trial."

Rajiv, who was the leader, stopped his colleagues from continuing to talk.

As he spoke, he looked at the members of the Rosary Society gathered in the manor, and said in a solemn voice:

"According to the report, the Rose Society sheltered the wanted pagan demihumans, smuggled contraband such as hand crossbows, controlled knives, and seeds of power, secretly colluded with the Blood Demon Sect, and participated in several blood demon cases in Boulder. President Sebastian has contacts with the Adam Sect active in Corea, and has an ambiguous relationship with the most wanted criminal of the Holy Royal Court, the White Witch, and the evidence is conclusive..."

"According to Article 66, Chapter 13, Volume 4 of the Royal Court Code...the Rose Society is confirmed as a secret evil group, the danger is assessed as extremely dangerous, and the purification level is to be executed immediately!"

After all, he looked at everyone at the Rosary Society:

"Of course... my lord has always been merciful. Evil people will eventually be punished as they should, but those who repent will also have a chance to live."

"Sinners who have fallen into the abyss of evil, let's make a choice, whether to be purified by the fire of judgment of our Lord, or to make a confession and use the rest of your life to atone for your sins?"

"Bah! The lackey of the Holy Court! The son of a bitch!"

A curse came from the crowd, and immediately met the angry eyes of the trial knights.

"Kneel down!"

A Judgment Knight kicked the scolder to the ground.

Rajiv followed the voice and saw that the scolder was a male demihuman, tall and strong, with an ugly appearance and two black wolf ears on his head.

"He is Luf the Wolf, the second-in-command of the Rose Society. He has a high reputation in the Rose Society, and he is also the patriarch of the remnants of the demi-humans taken in by the president Sebastian."

A trial knight quickly introduced to Rajiv.

"Werewolves? Heh... the remnants of blood disciples who regard the extinct blood kingship as a totem worship... It seems that the rose society is indeed related to blood demons!"

Rajiv sneered.

After finishing speaking, he retracted his gaze and looked at the other members of the Rosary Society present:

"Those who are obsessed with obsession, stay where they are, those who want to repent, step forward!"

After hearing the words of the trial knight, the arrested members of the Rosary Society fell into commotion.

After some cursing, yelling, sighing or crying, about half of the members took a step forward.

And including all demihumans and advanced transcendents, no one chose to move.

Rajiv, the second-tier trial knight, was not surprised by this. In the choice between life and death, most people still hope to live, even if the trial only gives them a slow death path.

This is also the reason why the local judicial forces can continuously receive supplementary strength.

In fact, as an underground gang that has been formed for a few years, half of the people choose to die, which has surprised Rajiv. Among the cult groups he has dealt with for so many years, not many of them can die in this proportion.

This made him admire the Rose Society, and even the president of the Rose Society, Sebastian, who was being hunted down by the Grand Knight.

The Rosary isn't really a cult, and doesn't have the twisted beliefs of the cultists to add cohesion.

Even so, there are still so many extraordinary people who choose to die, which is enough to show that Sebastian, the president of the Rosary Society, does have a certain charisma.

And those who would rather die than surrender are worthy of being looked at at any time.

Of course, admiration belongs to admiration.

As an evil person, you must be punished!

"Put the holy lock on those who repent, and the rest of the sinners will be judged!"

Rajiv ordered.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a crisp voice broke the silence:

"Wait!"

The judge knights turned their heads and saw a mighty procession approaching from outside the manor. The leader was a carriage with a black eagle badge on its side.

On it sat a beautiful girl in a white dress.

Around her, there are hundreds of witcher knights!

Seeing the Black Eagle badge, Rajiv's expression turned ugly instantly.

His eyes fell on those demon hunter knights whose highest strength was only the first level, his expression turned cold, and he waved and ordered:

"What are you still doing?"

"Take down Charlotte de Castel, the heir of Castel who is in collusion with the Rose Society!"

"Take down all the witcher knights who participated in blocking the divine judgment!"

"Something went wrong, I'll bear it!"

Rajiv straightened his back, and the powerful coercion of the second level of Silver Moon swept the scene.

The rhythm may be really slow... But there is no way, let's write slowly, everyone read slowly, there will be plots that you want to watch, such as the real ancestor plug-in that will be officially launched in the near future, pretending behind the scenes, and farming in the territory, Fighting for hegemony in the mainland, enshrining gods to preach... come one by one, and ask for a monthly pass for follow-up and a recommendation ticket!
