"Announcement! Announcement!
"In the year 3002 of the parliamentary calendar, the first public trial in Tower District 1 of the Garo City State will be held at 8 o'clock this morning!
“Crime—colliding with the altar!
“Ten senators please arrive on time!
"We hope that all spectators will abide by order and prohibit any disruptive behavior!"
The majestic voice sounded from the top of Guangming Tower No. 1 and spread throughout the tower area.
In the past ten days, Yu has always woken up to the sound of announcements like this. At this time, it was too late to have breakfast. He took the time to wash up, put all the formations and materials into his bracelet, and waited quietly.
The two younger sisters, Xiaosan and Xiaowu, stayed by his side silently as usual.
Soon, four puppet guards opened the door and locked heavy iron handcuffs on his hands.
The puppets' movements were very rough, and there was a crisp "click" sound when Yu's arm was pulled out. Xiao San couldn't hold it back, but was held back by Xiao Wu. She reluctantly raised her pink fist at the puppets, and then carefully replaced her. Yu rubbed his shoulders.
There was vague discussion outside the ground window, and it seemed that there were quite a few onlookers!
After all, the Tower District announcement has been broadcast for ten days in a row. In an area like Tower District No. 1, where the doors are open at night and the public security is excellent, most people don’t want to miss this rare event in several years!
"...I don't know who has a bad brain. He dares to attack the powerful man in the altar. It's so audacious!"
"...Yes! This kind of person should be sent to the temple and locked up with those demons!"
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth and turned her head several times to glare in the direction of the window, but she could do nothing about these sounds. She looked at Yu worriedly, her eyes were red...
Yu quickly comforted and said:
"It's okay, I'm fine!"
"...Young master, you must remember your mother-in-law's words. If you have any grievances, you can just endure them and it will be over..."
A loud bell sounded from high in the building, signaling that the trial was about to begin.
Under the push of the puppets, Yu was escorted out of the cell, walked up the stairs, walked out of the hall, and was finally exposed in front of a sea of people.
The noise fell silent for a moment, and countless eyes focused on him, examining every corner of his body!
Yu Zhi felt that he was much shorter in an instant! I couldn't help but lower my head to avoid those aggressive stares...
"Hey, isn't this the 'Haoshuiyu'!"
A young voice shouted loudly, half surprised and half gloating!
The crowd was excited, and someone immediately asked what was going on.
"——Huoshuiyu, our student of Jialuo! Nicknamed 'the public enemy of men', 'social pest'..."
"You are still a student! You dare to be so rebellious and disrespectful to the altar at such a young age. What a sin!"
"That's right! If the altar adults hadn't resisted the demons, we would have died ten thousand times!"
Someone who knew the law shouted loudly:
"Crash the altar! You should be whipped!!!"
"…Flogging! Flogging!…"
Several peaks suddenly burst out in the noise, and soon they took over the whole situation. The sound of mountains and tsunamis was louder than the waves!
There were even stones thrown from a distance, passing over the stiff-moving puppets, and hitting Yu's body! The pain and scolding made the young man feel even more depressed...
In the front direction of the administrative hall, two rows of armed guards were trying to maintain a passage straight through the square. Crowds were crowded on the left and right sides, and it was impossible to see the side at a glance!
An open-air high platform was erected at the end of the passage, and ten senators were present!
There was only a small table in front of the middle seat, with a delicate hammer resting squarely on it.
The elegant middle-aged man in the middle seat is the one who stopped outside the cell for a long time last night!
The seats of his mother-in-law and Patriarch He were on both sides of him. The two deans and a middle-aged man with a full beard sat on one side, and on the other side, there were four people wearing dark red robes with sash draped sideways. The priest with the black ribbon.
The puppets escorted him to the center of the square, opened the shackles holding his hands behind his back, and locked him to the sinner's pillar.
Xiaosan and Xiaowu, as the family members of the criminals, also had their own seats behind the council members. This meant that "the crime was not as good as the family members." The puppets also took them with them when they retreated.
Yu slightly looked around, and almost in every direction he passed by with his peripheral vision, there were people raising their arms and shouting, pumping their fists and shouting!
He tried to raise his head and looked at the congressmen on the high platform.
His mother-in-law and Grandpa He, who had been paying attention to him, forced a smile at this time; the two deans and the bearded uncle nodded at him, with expressions of concern on their faces, and sometimes turned their heads anxiously to look at the middle seat; The elegant man's eyes were slightly lowered, as if he wasn't paying attention to anything outside him, and his face was calm; but the black belt priests had been staring at him for a long time, with cold eyes!
...It seems that Grandpa He, like my mother-in-law, is also a great person!
The two younger sisters were seated right behind their mother-in-law, and Xiaosan had already thrown herself into Xiaowu's arms, crying profusely...
The black-belt priest closest to the elegant man seemed to have the highest status, and he was the first to lose control and said in a hateful voice:
"Haha, you have today too!"
He glanced at his mother-in-law intentionally or unintentionally, raised his voice and said:
"blasphemous! Damn!"
"...Sir Aesop...please keep your voice down...", his companion hurriedly pulled him.
The mother-in-law's anger could no longer be suppressed, and a corner of the armrest was crushed to pieces by her!
Debris scattered in all directions, and smoke and dust flew in the high platform area. Many sharp fragments pointed clearly, and penetrated some body protection spells like paper. Suddenly, the muffled sound of Priest Aesop was heard.
The mother-in-law raised her hand and wiped it, and the smoke and dust dissipated. She patted the armrest heavily, suppressed her anger and asked:
"Fuck the judge, are you asleep?!"
The elegant man had actually been looking at Yu. He smiled apologetically when his mother-in-law asked, reached out and picked up the small hammer that represented law and justice, and knocked on the table.
"quiet!"
His voice was not loud, but the people who were shouting quickly quieted down, looking at the elegant man and the small hammer, excited and eager!
"People of Tower No. 1, I am the chief judge of the parliament, and my name is Qian Mingyi."
The crowd seemed to be ignited by the name!
"...It's really the chief judge! The man who is said to be 'wisdom to the heavens'!"
Qian Mingyi knocked on the table again. After the noise dispersed, he turned around and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty the Queen, you have a distinguished status. I think it would be better for you to preside over it today..."
…Her Majesty the Queen? !
Just like "Master Dharma God" has long been a universal honorific for the ancestor of the Augustus family, so too has the title "Her Majesty the Queen"!
Even if we date back to the imperial dynasty, when the term "Your Majesty" appeared, there is only one person in the entire human world who can be directly called "Her Majesty the Queen"!
That is the common king of all humanoid creatures! The hereditary master of the Whispering Forest! Her Majesty, the Fairy Queen, has been held by women for generations!
...it turned out to be my mother-in-law!
Yu opened her mouth wide in disbelief!
The powerful man from the altar was in front of him, and the crowd was silent!
Just listen to Her Majesty the Queen say:
"It doesn't have to be like this! Judge Qian, since Speaker Qian insists on holding this trial, for the sake of order in the world, I have nothing to say, let's get started!"
Qian Mingyi smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Majesty the Queen, I am a junior, you can just call me Mingyi...it is my duty, I have offended you!"
He stood up and turned his gaze to Yu.
"The person on the pillar is named Yu, a Jialuo student. Because he unintentionally offended the Phantom Altar, which lives in seclusion in Jialuo Academy, he was lightly punished by Master Phantom and was left in a coma for three days. Yu, am I right?"
The crowd heard the words and whispered, like a colony of ants eating the trees...
Yu could not help but lower his head and replied:
"Fuck the judge, right..."
"You rashly broke into the training ground of the strong men of the altar, and collided with the altar. Yu, do you know your sin?"
The whispers are even louder! The thick black iron pillar is right in front of you, as tall as a mountain! Yu lowered her head lower...
"I...feel guilty!"
"Well... considering that you are underage, this incident was an unintentional mistake, and you have been punished by Lord Phantom, so your attitude of pleading guilty is considered good! As the leader of this trial, I pronounce the sentence - the Tower District will announce it for ten days to serve as a warning to others. ! Do you have any objections?"
Yu Huoran raised his head - the Tower District announced the tenth day? …
Compared with such a grand trial, this "punishment" is almost equivalent to an acquittal!
The nine senators turned their heads almost simultaneously and looked at the presiding judge. The expressions of the black belt priests were extremely exciting. Priest Aesop shouted:
"Gan Mingyi, you!"
"presumptuous!"
The small hammer hit the table hard, and the hard boxwood table immediately fell into pieces. The presiding judge looked at Priest Aesop with cold eyes:
"Aesop! No matter who is in front of the judgment seat, you must show enough respect!
"There is no Gan Mingyi here, only the trial court and the presiding judge!"
Priest Aesop took a few deep breaths and stared at Qian Mingyi:
"Okay! Okay! Fuck the presiding judge. He made such a childish decision without even asking for our opinions. Where is the justice of the law?!"
Qian Mingyi replied calmly:
"According to the law, this is the most appropriate punishment! Speaking of questioning, I was about to ask everyone here for their opinions, but a few of the priests were too anxious!"
Aesop stretched out his hand suddenly, pointed at Yu fiercely, gritted his teeth and said:
"Such sinners should have died long ago! If it weren't for him, how could my mentor, the Great Priest Ifonso, explode and die!!!"
The mother-in-law stood up suddenly and asked sternly:
"Have the people of the temple forgotten the contract they signed?!"
This conversation echoed in the square, and countless people in the audience heard it clearly, and the discussion was aroused.
"Hey, did you hear that? This boy actually killed a black belt priest..."
"That's impossible...how old is he?"
"Didn't the presiding judge just say that he is still a minor, that is, he is under 18 years old..."
Those Jialuo students who know Yu naturally have more questions:
"That's ridiculous...this guy is not even a junior professional..."
When Priest Aesop said those words, a gloomy cloud suddenly appeared out of thin air a few meters above his head, and quickly condensed into a solid entity, as dark as ink! Dozens of electric snakes loomed among them, and the sound of thunder rumbled!
"Look! What is that?"
Someone with more knowledge cried out:
"That's a contract thundercloud! A strange phenomenon in the world that can only be caused by a very small number of contracts! According to legend, those who violate such contracts will be severely punished! Look at the color of this thundercloud, purple and black! It seems that this contract is absolutely extraordinary!"
Priest Aesop gritted his teeth and did not dare to speak or make any move. He could only look hatefully at the thunderclouds as heavy as the abyss. The fierce momentum lingered near Priest Aesop for a long time before gradually dissipating...
The presiding judge picked up the hammer again, tapped on the armrest of his seat, and asked:
"Your Majesty the Queen, Patriarch He, President Halley, the two Dean Jia Luo, and several of the priests, do you have any objections?"
All the congressmen shook their heads, and several black belt priests also remained silent. The mother-in-law's face softened and she replied:
"Fuck the presiding judge, that's the fact. I think there's no need to continue this trial, right? Besides, it's ridiculous to punish an underage child for the crime of bumping into the altar, and to fuck the speaker!"
Talking about his brother, Qian Ming couldn't say much and said with a wry smile:
"With that, I declare that this trial ends here!"
