The high priest Lennas was arrested.
The Holy Court's examination team was arrested on the first day they entered Boulder City.
Even though he had prepared for the worst, all the escape routes he had prepared were completely meaningless when he was surrounded by the three Chiyangs.
Before he could even take out the teleportation scroll in his arms and tear it open, it was snatched away by a cold snort from the Blazing Sun Level 3 Judgement Knight, and then he was controlled...
Although both are at the third level of Blazing Sun, the combat power of the Judgment Knight is usually far higher than that of priests like High Priest Lanas.
Not to mention, there were three Chiyangs around him.
The high priest was anxious. He frantically called the name of the God of Darkness in his heart, but got no response at all.
It was not until the Judgement Knight roughly locked his hands with magic-forbidden chains that he finally realized that the God of Darkness... had not given him any protection at all.
The high priest's heart sank almost immediately. It was a hot summer day, but it felt like falling into an icy cave.
"No! Slander! This is slander! Mr. Chief Evaluator! I want to appeal!"
His hair was disheveled and he spoke excitedly.
"Appeal? Your appeal... should be made to the Chief Judge of the Crescent Parish during the Holy Judgment."
High Priest Atlantis said coldly.
Divine Judgment!
The high priest's face turned slightly pale.
He looked dazed and dejected, and he almost lost all his strength in an instant.
Divine Judgment!
The most severe verdict of the Tribunal!
They will only take action after obtaining conclusive evidence, and every time they take action, the trial and judgment will inevitably make the person being tried pay a price!
The disaster that the Rose Club had faced before, today... befell him alone.
At this moment the high priest finally realized... he was finished.
…
When the holy believers of Bolder went to the cathedral with excitement, ready to watch the grand welcome ceremony for the Holy Royal Court Examination Committee led by the High Priest, what they saw was the High Priest with a gray face wearing shackles and being pushed out of the cathedral by the Knights of Judgment.
This unexpected scene stunned all the believers.
"What happened?"
"Your Excellency the High Priest... why were you arrested?"
The believers were talking among themselves, looking shocked.
But soon, High Priest Atlantis and two other Blazing Suns came out of the cathedral one after another.
He glanced at the holy believers gathered around the cathedral and whispered a few words to the priest who followed him.
The priest who followed High Priest Atlantis nodded, and then went to the square in front of the cathedral, and with the help of the church's loudspeaker array, the verdict on High Priest Bolder was spread to every corner of the square.
He murdered thousands of underage girls, acted as a protective umbrella for the Drunken Dream Salon, and colluded with the Blood Demon Cult...
The charges were read out one by one, causing an uproar.
Confusion over the evaluation team's actions quickly turned into anger towards the fallen priest.
Surprise, disappointment, disgust, anger...
The believers were outraged and began to curse and swear angrily:
"Devil! A devil in human skin!"
"Burn him! Burn this dark corrupter!"
It was unknown who took the first move, but someone picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the disheveled high priest, which soon attracted the attention of the crowd.
Stones, rotten food, feces... all kinds of filth were thrown from all directions.
The high priest who was once high and mighty and highly respected has now become the object of everyone's scorn.
High Priest Atlantis watched all this coldly but did not stop it.
What the Holy Royal Court hates most is the corruption of priests.
And every fallen priest will not only be subject to the most severe judgment, but all his sins will be made public and he will be despised by the world.
Perhaps this practice of exposing darkness undermines the authority of the Holy Court, but it is precisely because of the severe punishment of the Holy Court that the church, which has lasted for thousands of years, is still standing.
The enraged believers vented their anger on the imprisoned high priest, and more and more citizens came from all directions to ask questions.
Watching the fun is always the pleasure of mortals, and the pleasure of priests is no less than that of nobles.
As more and more citizens came to spit, the scene became somewhat chaotic.
High Priest Atlantis frowned slightly.
He glanced at the high priest who was slumped on the ground with a dejected look on his face, and prepared to end this farce.
But at this moment, an old woman in ragged clothes suddenly rushed out from the crowd.
She passed the Knight of Judgment who was maintaining order, rushed towards the High Priest with red eyes, and screamed hoarsely:
"Devil! You damn devil! Give me back my daughter! Give me back my daughter!"
The woman was quickly stopped by the knight.
But the chaotic crowd gradually quieted down.
"It's the old widow Luna..."
"I heard that her three daughters who depended on each other for survival were kidnapped by Zuimeng Salon one after another..."
"What a beast..."
Looking at the crying woman, the onlookers had complicated expressions and sighed.
At the same time, new elderly people came forward one after another and burst into tears.
Those are the poor parents who lost their daughters due to the activities of the Blood Demon Cult and the Drunken Dream Salon over the past ten or even more years.
The bloody sacrifice lasted for more than ten years, thousands of girls were killed, and countless families were destroyed.
Although the noble who hosted the Drunken Dream Salon has died, everyone understands that without the protection of the high priest, this bloody and dark event... would never have lasted until now.
The organizers of the event deserve death.
But the protector behind the scenes is even more hateful.
Looking at the crying old people, Priest Atlantis sighed and said:
"Help them up, and then... bring Nas down with you."
The knights and priests quickly helped the old people down, and the high priest Lainas was also taken away by the Knights of Judgment.
As the chief criminal was taken away, the crowd gathered in the square gradually dispersed.
In the corner of the square, Kara, dressed in casual clothes, stood in the shadow of the trees, looking in the direction of the cathedral in silence.
Beside her, the Duke's son Laino had a complicated expression and sighed:
"I never thought... the protector of Zuimeng Salon is actually the High Priest!"
"No wonder the Blood Demon Cultists in Bolder have been unable to be completely eliminated for so many years! It turns out... there is a problem within the church!"
As he said this, he couldn't help but look at the expressionless female knight Kara:
"Kara, I just heard them say... It seems that the high priest was reported. I don't know who reported it, but they were able to investigate it so clearly."
As soon as he finished speaking, several trial knights from the evaluation team rode over on horseback in the distance.
The leader of the team was the deputy chief examiner of the evaluation team, the third-level Blazing Sun Judge Knight, who was also the newly appointed Grand Knight of Bolder.
He came to Kara, showed an appreciative smile, made a cross with his right hand, and said:
"Praise be to the Holy One! You are Lord Kara, the chief demon hunter captain of Boulder, right?"
"Sir Kara, thank you for reporting High Priest Lainas, so that the Royal Court could clean up this corrupt scourge in time!"
Kakaka… Did Kara report it
Lai Nuo was stunned.
The Blazing Sun Knight looked serious and asked sincerely:
"Mr. Kara, the chief judge of the Crescent Parish admires you very much. Are you interested in leaving Boulder City and joining the parish's court?"
