Chapter 627 Stupid Justice


    With the destruction of Deszel and the recovery of the antidote, the plague in Wudong City has come to an end.


    Next, everyone lived a happy and peaceful life... It''s a happy congratulation, it''s a happy congratulation...


    Well, it’s a pity that this is not a game END.


    The fact is that the atmosphere in Wudong City is still extremely tense.


    Deszel''s betrayal has long been spread throughout the streets and alleys of Wudong City, and his behavior of spreading the plague has been confirmed, which naturally makes the people angry. Of course, Deszel himself has been killed by Duanmuhuai. His subordinates were either killed or burned to death in Heim Fortress, but there is not a single object that can be used to make the people vent their anger.


    That''s Vanswick.


    As Erbis''s right-hand man and lover, Van Swick provided a lot of help to Deszel during the whole incident, including the warehouse incident that Duanmu Huai and the others investigated. Many similar incidents were found later. According to him, he thought Deszel did nothing wrong, so he kept helping the other party, trying to prove that Deszel was also concerned about Wudongcheng like others - Duanmu Huai was left with only Haha when he heard this.


    In a word, it''s stupid.


    So what we have to do next is the trial of Fanswick.


    Vanswick himself did not argue, but Aribes argued and tried to prove that Vanswick did not betray him.


    "I know that Van Swick is not a traitor! He has not committed treason! I can guarantee that he has no such intention in his heart!"


    But Duanmu Huai obviously would not accept such a statement.


    "I don''t care what Vanswick thought! The fact is that what he did led to the spread of the plague in Wu Winter City and the death of thousands of people! This is the undeniable truth! The Inquisition does not care about the motivation, only the result. No matter what kind of motivation Vanswick was for, it was his actions that led to the spread of the plague infection, and even almost put the entire city on the brink of destruction! Therefore, I think Vanswick must be executed!"


    During the entire trial, Duanmuhuai and Eribes faced each other in a tit-for-tat manner and quarreled endlessly. Ereebes insisted that Vanswick was just insisting on his justice and was deceived by Deszel, who was also a victim of his own, so even if he was wrong, he would not die.


    Duanmu Huai, as the judge, directly refuted. He didn''t care whether Vanswick was to uphold his justice or was stupid enough to be deceived by Deszelmont or had ulterior motives, but his actions were typical of deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates. Just like when Deszel asked Vanswick to go to the warehouse transfer procedures before, as Arrebes'' left-handed, Vanswick did not tell Arrebes about this - this is a malfeasance!


    Anyone who is involved in the heretics of evil gods has only one way out. Is it a good meal when the court is a slaughter?


    By the way, Lord Nashel in court was not good-looking at this moment. The reason was very simple. He also trusted Deszel, and the biggest responsibility lies with him. In addition, just before, Duanmuhuai even forced him to take off his clothes and conducted a careful inspection of him, in order to ensure that Lord Nashel was not corrupted - if he had any traces of corrupting, Duanmuhuai took action to kill him on the spot.


    This is a great humiliation for Lord Nashel, who was once a great adventurer, but Duanmu Huai doesn''t care - the judge never cared about others'' likes and dislikes of themselves. They do whatever they want and do whatever they want. What others think of them is someone else''s business and has nothing to do with the judge.


    "this………"


    In the audience, Emilia, who had been listening to the entire trial, was also in a dilemma.


    As a believer of Tyre, she knew that she should support Eribes. But when Emilia followed Duanmuhuai to Heim Fortress and saw the mutated aberrant body infected by the plague along the way, she had to admit Duanmuhuai''s statement that once Deszel was asked to copy all this in Wudong City, it would only bring about destruction that was more terrible than a nightmare.


    At the moment, Erbis and Duanmuhuai are arguing fiercely, but both sides are not wrong in their positions - Erbis is Tyre''s paladin, and as a Tyre believer, the first thing she must believe in is justice. The so-called "talk about the mind and the traces" are said to Irebes. Even if Vanswick is wrong, his starting point is good, so the punishment should be reduced, at least the crime will not be killed.


    However, the position of the Court of Justice is completely opposite. The Court of Justice does not care about justice and evil, they only care about the existence of mankind. Therefore, in Duanmu Huai, who is the judge, Vanswick''s actions are an accomplice in causing the death of the people of Wudongcheng. No matter what his considerations are, his actions threaten the goals of the court, so the court will definitely not let Vanswick go - if Wudongcheng does not sentence him to death, Duanmu Huai has to do it himself.


    Again, the judge never cared about other people’s opinions.


    They may not understand, but they must obey.


    "You make him sound like a murderer! It''s not Vanswick that caused this plague, nor Vanswick that destroyed the city! He just trusted too much and focused too much on his duties!"


    "But he encouraged the spread of the plague, which is an unquestionable fact!"


    Duanmu Huai waved his hand suddenly and pointed out the window.


    "I''ll say it again, stop your useless arguments! You should go out and see those who died of the plague, and tell them that their families were infected by the plague were just an accident. Vanswick did not intend to do this, and see how many people would be willing to accept your explanation! And will the dead accept your apology! All you give is the trust you have been betrayed, but what they have given is life! Do you want to say that your so-called kindness and justice are more important than human life?!"


    "No! But this is not Vanswick''s responsibility! He worked hard all his life for justice and devoted himself to the fulfillment of his duties, just like me! But why did he get such an end? Isn''t this betrayal? In order to calm the anger of the people, his lord betrayed him, and the **** he believed in also betrayed him because of a foolish mistake! Is this fair?"


    "A stupid mistake?"


    Duanmu Huai''s voice suddenly became deep, and at the same time, a cold murderous intent spread from his body.


    "You mean that the deaths of these thousands of people can be excused by a single stupid mistake?"


    "I………"


    "You just don''t want to face it!"


    Duanmu Huai suddenly interrupted Erbie''s defense, reached out to slap the table hard--with a click, the heavy table was broken into two pieces.


    Seeing this scene, everyone present was shocked, and Duanmu Huai didn''t care at all, but just stared at Erbie fiercely.


    "You just don''t want to accept that your lover has betrayed you! You hide it from you! You don''t believe you!"


    As he spoke, Duanmu Huai picked up a confession.


    "Look, Vanswick himself admitted that he opened up a lot of convenience for Deszell''s actions, but he didn''t tell you, the reason was that Vanswick believed that you did not trust Deszell and would probably not allow some of his actions. So he decided to act by himself, rather than report to you! How does it feel to betrayed by your beloved? Erbis? Now, you are like a little girl who is blinded by love. You would rather question the gods and beliefs you believe in than turn your head to see the reality clearly! Face the reality, the reality is that your lover does not trust you, so he betrayed you!"


    "No, I..."


    At this moment, facing Duanmu Huai''s anger, Eribes had nothing to say for a moment.


    After this, the trial continued, but the situation was already obvious.


    Duanmuhuai had a strong evidence, and there was nothing to say on the other hand except that she was trying hard to explain that Vanswick was not intentional... So in the end, Vanswick was sentenced to hang for treason. Amid the cheers of the people of Wudong City, the priest was sent to the gallows and turned into a cold corpse.


    It was not until this time that the plague in Wudong City had truly come to an end.


    But...it''s still not over.


    After the trial, Duanmu Huai and Aojisi were invited to the lord''s residence. After all, although Deszel was dead, the threat still existed. Even until now, they don’t know what kind of enemies they are facing. Judging from the previous situation, only Duanmu Huai and the others knew the most. "Then, Lord Judge, I asked directly, do you know what the evil existence of Deszel believed in?"


    "certainly."


    Faced with Lord Nashel''s inquiry, Duanmu Huai nodded.


    "That''s a very ancient evil god, well...you just call it the God of Life."


    "Why?"


    I have to say that when I heard Duanmu Huai’s answer, Emilia looked confused.


    "The God of Life??? But..."


    "But what?"


    "Duanmu Huai looked at her. People are life, and cows are life. Then I ask you, are flies, mosquitoes, maggots considered life?"


    "this………"


    "I understand? This is the God of Life."


    Duanmu Huai explained briefly, and everyone immediately understood... I have to say that this kind of life **** really broke their three views a little.


    "So, where do these evil **** believers... exactly do they operate."


    “This is not necessarily true.”


    Duanmuhuai spread her hands.


    "Strictly speaking, all those who have been sick for a long time cannot be cured may receive the attention and favor of that person and then become his believers."


    “……………Hey? You mean…”


    "That guy will indeed hear people''s wailing in pain and treat them."


    "Treatment? But the previous aberration..."


    "It''s very disgusting, right? But the disease is indeed cured. They will no longer feel pain, nor will they be infected with diseases - because they are walking plagues themselves. Look, although they look a little weird, but have the purpose been achieved?"


    "Well………"


    At this time, the boy named Qasim also reacted.


    "Your Excellency Judge, what do you mean is that the evil **** turned people into that way to cure their disease? But this is too…”


    "Don''t let this or that person, just say you''ve cured your illness."


    “…………”


    Now everyone has nothing to say.


    "But why do they spread the plague again?"


    "It''s very simple. Only by letting more people get infected with diseases can they feel the love of the evil god..."


    Duanmu Huai sneered.


    "If people are not sick, where will they go to promote the greatness of the evil gods they believe in?"


    “…………”


    Don''t say it, this makes sense.


    "In short, the actions of these heretic believers are still very clear. Basically, if there is an incurable plague, or some kind of distortion and mutation, which makes people distorted and even plants without knowing the details, it is probably their fault - this is also the reason why I came here."


    "I see."


    Lord Nashel breathed some relief when he heard Duanmuhuai''s words. Now it seems that the actions of these evil **** believers are still easy to predict, at least it is much easier to notice than some of the hidden devil believers.


    "I understand. Thank you for your advice. There has been no peace in the northern part of the world recently, and we have always doubted this... I will send someone to investigate immediately."


    In general, although the trouble was a bit unpleasant at the beginning, Lord Nashel was still willing to cooperate with Duanmuhuai, and even invited the Inquisition to come to Wudongcheng to set up a base. After all, the ruthlessness and efficiency of the Inquisition in dealing with heretics of evil gods is indeed very useful - well, at least much better than some Tyre believers.


    During the whole process, Eribes just stood behind Lord Nashel and said nothing. Her status in the Temple of Tel has been greatly reduced. Conversely, Emilia, as a hero who followed Duanmuhuai to Heim Fortress to destroy the pagan stronghold, has replaced Eribes'' original position.


    There is no way to do this. Arrebes''s argument for defending Vanswick in the previous trial angered many people. In addition, Vanswick is her subordinate, so Arrebes naturally has the responsibility. If it weren''t for the antidote to the plague led by Arrebes, he might have been successful in his treatment of the plague, even Arrebes would have to follow in Vanswick''s footsteps.


    But now she has also risen openly and descended secretly, becoming a marginal person.


    Duanmu Huai did not sympathize with this. It was because the words that Arrebes defended Vanswick before angered him, reminding him of the widely circulated "You just lost one leg, but what she lost was love"... Well, if it weren''t for the trial court, Duanmu Huai would have suddenly wanted to kill someone on the spot.


    But now...


    Duanmu Huai looked at Arribes and then withdrew his gaze.


    I hope she can figure it out and stop making trouble.
