Chapter 36: Nobility vs theocracy

Views:

Catherine is Wu Hui's first believer, his first fanatical believer, and his designated Holy Lady of Light. She has extraordinary significance to him.

Watching Catherine grow step by step and transform into a true saint bit by bit, he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart, just like watching the saplings he planted thrive under his care.

At this moment, seeing Catherine shouting from the high place and shocking the whole audience, he felt even more gratified.

Of course, the stronger and wiser his saint is, the smoother the process of gathering believers and accumulating divine power will be, and the less worry he will have to worry about. This is also the main reason why he invested in cultivating Catherine.

Now, it's her time to play a role.

Looking at Catherine, who was obedient and respectful, praying devoutly in the light curtain, Wu Hui's mind was slightly moved, and his voice instantly became solemn. In formal occasions, one still has to pay attention to the divine power.

"allow."

In an instant, his voice spread along the channel of faith and turned into a vast divine sound that sounded in Catherine's mind.

Katherina's spirits perked up, and a fanatical light instantly burst out from her blue eyes.

"I will obey the oracle of my Lord."

She clasped her hands on her chest and bowed deeply and piously to the statue in front of her. Then she slowly stood up from the ground and turned to face the crowd.

In an instant, the aura around her changed drastically. There was no trace of gentleness and humility left, and what remained was only solemnity and majesty.

"Our Lord of Light has granted our request." She lowered her eyes and looked at the people under the altar. Her long golden hair shone in the sun, and she looked as noble and holy as an angel in her pure white nun's uniform. "I declare that the trial will begin now. Come, bring up the criminal from Gondeyal."

With the help of divine power, her voice spread throughout the entire square, like the sound of gold and jade falling to the ground, with a resounding sound.

As soon as the words fell, the entire square fell silent.

Almost everyone stared at her with wide eyes in disbelief.

They had already been surprised when Catherine prayed before, and at this moment, their suspicion reached a peak.

You know, on this continent, nobles have privileges.

They enjoy the right to levy taxes, the right to hunt, the right to fight, the right to immunity, and many other rights that ordinary people do not enjoy.

As nobles, no matter how many evil things they did, they would not be punished under the immunity, as long as they paid a certain amount of immunity money. Even when two countries were at war, the nobles of the defeated side would not be killed after becoming prisoners. As long as they could pay enough immunity money, or someone was willing to pay the immunity money to ransom them, they would be released.

Trial

It doesn't exist at all.

The privileges of the nobility are not only the rules agreed upon by the nobility, but also protected by laws. All the nobility will voluntarily protect these privileges. It can be said that any attempt to challenge the privileges of the nobility is tantamount to a challenge to all the nobility.

No one can afford such a price.

But what did they just hear

This woman actually said she wanted to put Baron Gondejar on trial
