"Of course, we are talking about this divine judgment."
"Lord Rajiv, as the heir of Castel and the true allegiance of the Rose Society, I have reason to suspect that this sacred judgment against the Rose Society is the work of someone behind the scenes."
Charlotte said calmly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Judgment Knights changed.
The look they gave the girl was one of anger and mockery.
Rajiv narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly:
"Miss Charlotte, do you know what you are talking about?"
"The Rose Society sheltered wanted pagan demi-humans, smuggled contraband, secretly colluded with the Blood Demon Cult, and participated in several Blood Demon cases in Boulder. The president, Sebastian, even had dealings with the Adam Cult..."
"These things have been secretly investigated by the court, and the evidence is conclusive!"
As he spoke, Rajiv's expression turned cold:
"Now that things have come to this, do you still want to excuse the Rose Society? Or does Castel want to protect the Rose Society?"
Charlotte sighed and took out a roll of parchment from her arms:
“That is exactly what I am going to say next, Rajiv sir.”
"In fact, I only recently got in touch with the Rose Society and learned that they were the Castel family's secret agent..."
"These days, the Castel family has also done some investigations to understand what the Rose Society has been doing over the years."
"The Castel family also received some intelligence about what you said, but it is somewhat different from what you said."
"First of all, sheltering pagan demi-humans is a slander. To be more precise, the Rose Society's real purpose in taking in demi-humans is to help lost demi-humans return to the right faith!"
"These demihumans were indeed pagans, but they had already changed their faith under the glory of our Lord and became devout holy believers!"
After hearing the girl's words, Kara, with a gleam in her eyes, paused slightly and couldn't help but look at her.
Rajiv, whose eyes also had silver light flowing through them, also frowned slightly.
However, they did not interrupt the girl, and Charlotte did not pause:
"Secondly, the Rose Society is involved in the Blood Demon case... That's not the case. In fact, the Rose Society's purpose is to investigate the actions of the Blood Demon Cult."
"Furthermore, Rose Society Sebastian did have some dealings with the Adam Cult... But it was not a collusion as the informant claimed. The fact is quite the opposite. Mr. Sebastian actually offended the Adam Cult, which forced him to come to the Crescent Kingdom."
"Finally, as for... smuggling of contraband, this is indeed true, but which underground force does not engage in such behavior? The Castel family is willing to pay a fine for the Rose Society's smuggling, but this... is not enough to characterize the Rose Society as an evil organization."
"These things... The Castel family also has solid evidence. Lord Rajiv can check them one by one."
Charlotte spoke slowly and confidently.
After saying this, she handed the parchment in her hand to Nice and ordered him to hand it over to the Knight of Judgment.
Rajiv took it, but did not open it to read it. Instead, he said calmly:
"Miss Charlotte, I don't know if you know that the Judgment Hall has a solidified divine spell called the Eye of Truth, which can identify lies."
"Few people can master this solidification magic, but I happen to be one of them..."
As he spoke, he looked at the girl coldly:
"Miss Charlotte, you lied."
After these words were spoken, the Judgement Knights looked at the girl with even more anger, while the Demon Hunters also showed surprise on their faces and couldn't help but look at Kara beside them.
Kara was silent for a moment and nodded slightly:
"She did lie."
Upon hearing this, the demon hunters immediately became agitated and felt a little guilty for a moment.
Inside and outside the Rose Manor, everyone's eyes were focused on the girl, with surprise, anger, confusion, worry...all kinds of emotions contained in them.
The girl also looked a little surprised.
Her expression changed, as if she was a little conflicted, but in the end she sighed:
"I'm sorry... Rajiv sir, I did something wrong."
"You're right... I did lie."
"I don't know the real reason why Sebastian, the president of the Rose Society, took in the demi-humans, so I can only give some high-sounding reasons..."
"However, I have come into contact with the subhuman companions of the Rose Society. I swear to the Holy Light that the Holy Light will tell us that they are all true believers of the Holy Spirit!"
Rajiv's eyes twitched when he heard the girl's words.
The Eye of Truth told him that this time the girl was telling the truth.
Charlotte stood straight with a frank look on her face.
The demon hunters all looked at Kara again.
"The truth."
The female knight said calmly.
The demon hunters got agitated for a moment, then straightened their backs again.
Some even whistled and started to make a scene:
"Inquisition, give me some advice!"
"Yes, Lady Charlotte said all the facts and brought evidence. What else do you have to say?"
"The divine judgment is illegal! This divine judgment is illegal!"
Soon, the Demon Hunters began to boo the Judgement Knights collectively.
It wasn't until Kara gave them a cold look that they shut up.
Only the Rose Society's demi-humans were stunned, looking at each other in bewilderment.
True Ancestor is above!
They... When did they become believers of the Holy Royal Court
The demi-humans had no good feelings towards the Holy Royal Court. Some of the wolf-ears with well-developed limbs and bad tempers even changed their faces and were about to have an outburst, but they soon calmed down at the signal of their leader, the werewolf Luf.
The werewolf leader frowned as he looked at the girl who was talking to the Judgement Knight.
Although he didn't know what the other party was thinking, but thinking about how Sebastian usually respected the girl and how confident he looked, he had a strange thought...
I'm afraid the other party really has a way.
This thought even made Luf himself feel incredible.
As the second-in-command of the Rose Society, this was the first time he met Charlotte of Castel. Before this, he even had some dissatisfaction with her.
However, at this moment, looking at the girl in the night, he didn't know why he felt an inexplicable conviction in her words...
That feeling is like some kind of instinct.
The werewolf Luf was shocked and confused.
On the other side, the brows of the second-level judgment knight Rajiv gradually frowned.
This was a situation he had not expected.
He originally thought that the girl was just making trouble, but he didn't expect that she actually had evidence in her hands.
only…
"Miss Charlotte, this is just your one-sided statement. Although the information on paper is detailed, its authenticity has not been verified. It is not impossible to delay time and forge evidence. On the contrary... the Inquisition has already investigated the crimes of the Rose Society."
Rajiv said solemnly.
Charlotte smiled slightly after hearing the words of the Knight of Judgment.
After going around in circles for a long time... she finally got to this topic.
In fact, she had prepared the rhetoric of first making it false and then making it true, and her purpose was to constantly divert everyone's attention, so that everyone would eventually ignore the various loopholes in her rhetoric and focus on verifying the truth of the trial evidence...
"You are right."
"We do have the suspicion of delaying in order to fabricate evidence."
"But at the same time...why wouldn't the report materials in your hands be carefully planned and forged?"
The girl said calmly.
After hearing this, Rajiv was stunned.
His eyes swept across the demon hunters, and finally looked at the girl in the lead, his expression turned cold:
"Miss Charlotte, are you questioning the competence of the Inquisition?"
"No... I'm just worried that the Knights of the Inquisition have been deceived. If my guess is correct, this report should be anonymous, right?"
"This divine judgment is full of doubts. I am just worried that... the great divine light has misjudged her devout believers."
The girl shook her head.
"How dare you! Are you questioning the glory of our Lord?"
After hearing what the girl said, the other second-level knights beside Rajiv became furious.
Rajiv's face became more and more ugly.
He signaled the other trial knights to calm down, looked at Charlotte deeply, and after a moment's silence, he suddenly sneered:
"How about this?"
"Since Miss Charlotte is so confident and does not trust our Inquisition, let's leave everything to the Holy Light's judgment."
"The evidence may be wrong, but the Holy Light will not lie. I have never heard of a demihuman changing his faith. What is the truth... Let the Holy Light Judgment bear witness."
After hearing Rajiv's words, the girl raised her right hand, drew a standard cross on her chest, and said devoutly:
"Praise the Holy Spirit! This is the best. I believe... the great Lord will bear witness to the purity of the Rose Society, and the holy light of justice... will bear witness to the piety of the Rose Society!"
Looking at the girl's fanatical look, Rajiv frowned slightly, somewhat confused as to whether she was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
"Holy Light Judgment?!"
The demon hunters were also startled and looked at the girl with strange eyes.
That's right, the Holy Light does not lie.
But at the same time, Holy Light is also stricter.
Especially the Judgment of Holy Light.
Judgment of Holy Light is a divine spell that judges the target's faith. It was first created by Saint Benedict III of the Holy Court.
Under the holy light, those with firm faith will be unharmed, while those with different faiths, those with weak faith, those without faith, and those who have committed crimes will all be severely punished under the holy light.
In the mildest cases, the patient will suffer insanity, while in the worst case, the patient will die from the burning of the holy light.
This is the most severe judgment method of the Holy Royal Court.
The Inquisition may make the wrong judgment, but the Judgment of Holy Light will not.
Not only that, for the most severe Holy Light Judgment, even stains that have nothing to do with this divine judgment will often be infinitely magnified...
Hundreds of years ago, the most important reason why the Holy Royal Court removed the Holy Light Judgment from the Holy Judgment was that this divine art was too rigid, so rigid to the point of being weird. In order to identify the camp, it could "purify" all the sinners that the Inquisition originally planned to absorb into the trial team.
At one point, Rajiv even had hallucinations.
The Court of Inquisition just wants to wipe out the Rose Society and add some fresh blood to the local judicial forces.
But Charlotte of Castel... wants all the members of the Rose Society dead.
If the knights of the church are like this, the faces of the people of the Rose Society are even greener.
"Um... Can I not accept the Holy Light Judgment and directly join the Judgment Team?"
Some people were almost crying, and some even raised their hands.
Rajiv ignored the commotion of the Rose Club and said calmly:
"Since Miss Charlotte wants the Holy Light to judge, then let's prepare for the Holy Light Judgment."
At this point, it doesn't matter whether or not to accept members of the Rose Society into the Judgment Army.
Things have gotten so bad that he has to save face.
It was obvious that Castel's young successor had no idea what a severe divine art the Judgment of Holy Light was.
Naive, simple, and even a little stupid!
The Rose Society is an underground gang with dirty deeds. How could they possibly withstand the judgment of Holy Light
Rajiv's expression grew colder.
This time, he must severely punish the Rose Society and the Castel Family to warn the world of the authority of the Inquisition!
Following Rajiv's order, the Knights of Judgment immediately took action.
They came before the members of the Rose Society, raised their silver swords high, and said in fanatical and pious voices:
"My Lord Harald!"
"You are the creator of the new world!"
"You are sacred in the royal court!"
"May your holy light come upon us,"
"Give the most severe judgment to the evil..."
"… "
Many members of the Rose Society turned pale when they saw the knights and priests coming up to them, chanting spells, and releasing the Holy Light Judgment.
"No! Don't! I plead guilty! Don't cast the Holy Light Judgment!"
some people exclaimed.
However, it was too late.
The Knights of Judgment always act quickly.
As they sang, brilliant holy light suddenly bloomed in the Rose Club Manor, drowning everyone.
Some people suddenly let out shrill screams.
However, as they shouted, their voices disappeared.
Not dead.
Instead, his entire expression revealed confusion.
Looking at their hands which were also emitting a soft halo under the holy light, they were all stunned.
Eh
How come... it doesn't hurt
The demihumans stared in amazement at the light of faith on themselves.
Huh
When did I actually become a holy believer
On the other side, the knights of the church were also stunned when they saw the members of the Rose Society reflecting the dim or bright light of faith under the holy light.
My goodness... some people's faith is even stronger than theirs!
Rajiv frowned slightly.
He looked around, his eyes fell on a judge, and he threw the person into the holy light.
With shrill screams, the members of the Judgment Army who were thrown into the holy light quickly turned into ashes...
Rajiv's frown deepened.
The holy light lasted for about half a minute and then disappeared.
Among the people in the Rose Society, some were indeed directly purified, and many were mentally confused and obviously received certain punishments, but the vast majority survived.
At this moment, the entire manor was quiet.
