Chapter 290

Even if Lina doesn't want to, she is still the future emperor of the Holy Empire. "

Sylvester laughed loudly: "Look! Each of you is more hypocritical than the other, and you also say so many high-sounding words!"

Augustine no longer wanted to explain too much, and waved his hand in frustration: "Leave it to you, I'll go back first."

"No, wait! Father, I know I was wrong. I was so angry just now! I was wrong! Father!"

"As you command, Your Majesty."

Amid Sylvester's screams, everyone watched Augustine leave.

Rin looked at Sylvester. At this time, his face was ashen and there was only one sentence left in his mouth.

"You forced me to do this."

To be honest, Augustine had some problems. He was probably the one who kept silent for the sake of his father's majesty, told his son nothing, and deliberately gave his son a sense of oppression to encourage him to make progress.

But this cannot be the reason for Sylvester to do so many evil things.

Rin touched his chin and squatted down: "Stop screaming, it's so annoying. Someone forces you to kill your own sister? Someone forces you to kill your own father? Or someone forces you to create a terrorist attack and deliberately want to kill thousands of people?" Tens of thousands of people?”

At the end of his sentence, his tone suddenly became extremely severe: "Or are you being forced by someone to betray the secrets of the Holy Empire to the Death Teller?"

Sylvester was suddenly startled, and stretched out his hand to punch Rin's head, but Yuye stopped him and kicked him to the ground.

He roared in panic: "What nonsense are you talking about! How could I give the drawings to the Death Apostles!?"

"drawing?"

Lin's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He really didn't expect that he didn't mention any blueprints at all, and Siel was like the villain in a crime drama, and he let it slip.

It turns out...the TV series didn't lie.

When people are mentally nervous and frightened, they can really lie.

"What drawing?"

The court mage suddenly became anxious. At this time, he didn't care that the Holy Son and the Archbishop were still nearby, and asked urgently.

"I...no...no, I said the wrong thing."

Bai Tu seemed to realize something, his pupils shrank, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his collar.

"What drawing?!",

"I didn't say anything." Siel grinned and showed his teeth.

But everyone can see that his level of panic now is even far greater than when he was caught.

Bai Tu's face darkened: "It seems that Webster has to be interrogated properly."

Rin looked at Bai Tu and then at the unknown court mage, and he could clearly see the anxious and uneasy looks on their faces.

It seems that it is still a very important secret.

This information was confessed by Elbert.

They had secretly moved Elbert's family to create the illusion that the Duke's Palace had been bombed and the family was dead. They also wanted to intimidate Elbert and let him know that Schier was desperate to kill him.

So Elbert, this loser, told everything he knew. He also mentioned that when it came to killing Anthony last time, Schier had exchanged a secret with the informant.

Elbert didn't know what the specific secret was.

Looking at Bai Tu who was like an angry lion, Rin patted him on the shoulder.

"No need to get excited."

Bai Tu was stunned, took a deep breath, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Your Highness, the Holy Empire has a blueprint that is enough to destroy a city."

Rin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Don't bother Webster, he still has to go to jail to accuse the Death Apostles, and my Highness is also very good at interrogation."

At this time, the court mage suddenly slapped his head: "I'm too anxious, Lord Holy Son. I can use sleep to make him say it."

"No, that's too cheap for him."

After saying that, he squatted down again and grabbed Sylvester's hair.

"You don't really think your bones are that hard, do you? Since you already know that you are going to die on both sides, why don't you want to leave a whole body?"

"It's useless, Phoenix." Sil said with difficulty.

Rin showed a malicious smile: "By the way, do you know why the death-taker confessed so quickly?"

"..."

"Because I used Ling Chi's method. As the prince, you don't know what Ling Chi means, right?"

Sylvester shuddered, fear spreading throughout his body once again.

"My sword master is not good at anything else, but his sword skills are very good. If I pick you with a thousand swords, I won't let you die in nine hundred and ninety-nine blows. By the way, you also know this old man. He is a spirit Mage, do you want me to add pain enhancement?"

Sylvester's pupils were trembling, and he wanted to swallow, but his body was so stiff that he couldn't even swallow.

"Old man, could you please come with me?"

The court mage's face trembled, and he thought to himself: How can I have such an enhanced sense of pain? It is a rare talent, and it may not be possessed by spiritual mages.

But he was old and mature after all, and he could already tell something from Rin's joking expression.

Then his staff lit up and pointed at Sylvester.

Sylvester only felt a cold breath entering his body. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he really seemed to feel that his sense of touch was more sensitive.

"Idiot Sword Master, remember, one thousand swords. If you kill him before this, you will be punished for three days... without food for one day."

Xiye nodded, pulled out her long sword, and pointed it directly at Sylvester.

Xier only felt the cold light pricking his skin like a needle, and then his clothes were scratched by several sword light and scattered to the ground.

Then, the tip of the sword pointed at his back.

"Hey? I didn't expect you, a stupid dog, to be smart and know that it's not easy to die from a cut on the back." Lin was amazed.

Sylvester subconsciously straightened his back, and then felt the sword cut his skin little by little.

"No! I say! I say! You can't do this to me!"

He rolled and crawled forward, shouting.

"You know what's good for you."

Lin curled his lips, and suddenly saw something in his peripheral vision, looking at the large piece of water element under Sylvester.

Good guy... He... was actually scared to pee his pants.

Damn, now I am like this, in the eyes of the audience, am I already a vicious and evil villain? !

Chapter 65 Bao Zheng, do you believe in light?

The next morning, the carriage of His Holiness the Pope had arrived at the Glowing City.

As soon as he arrived, Archbishop Tiga also hurried over from the dock.

Then the archbishop followed the Pope into the palace.

In the tall and spacious council hall, Augustine was sitting on the throne symbolizing supreme power, while Lin and Bishop Webster were sitting on the right side of the half-circular platform below.

Further down were the important officials and nobles of the Holy Empire, and there was an area on the left where a group of bishops and priests stood.

It was not like this on weekdays.

Usually only the bishops of the Glowing Church stood aside to record, and then if there was any work related to the church, they would discuss it.

Whenever a major event happened in the empire, all the priests who ranked high in Glowing City would stand here.

And now, it was obvious that something had happened that shocked the whole country.

However, most people thought it was about the slander of the Son of God and the mob attack in Glowing City this time.

This was enough to make the church and the empire go to war.

"His Holiness, Pope Willard, is here! Archbishop Tiga and Archbishop Bai Tu are here!"

With the knight at the door shouting, all the noble officials and priests separated a very spacious aisle to both sides, and then looked at the door of the hall with reverence.

Augustine and Rin also stood up from their seats and walked down the steps.

Augustine was in front, and Rin and the other two stood behind him.

Not long after, Willard came in wearing a tall papal crown inlaid with countless small gems and a white vestment that was more dazzling than the platinum bishop.

He had no idea how many jewels were on his body, which showed that he was rich.

Following Willard was Archbishop Tiga, whose face was as black as a charcoal basin, tightly pursed his lips, and looked more severe than Webster, and could be called fierce.

Behind Bishop Tiga was Bai Tu, who went to greet him.

Bishop Tiga was similar to Bao Longtu in terms of skin color and personality, of course, referring to the Bao Longtu in folk legends.

He strode with his head held high, full of momentum, first saluted Augustine, then glanced at Webster and Bai Tu, and finally fell on Rin.

After examining Rin for a moment, Tiga withdrew his gaze.

"Your Majesty, I finally see you."

Augustine greeted him personally, but unfortunately he could not force a smile on his face. He just held Willard's hand to show respect.

He and the Pope were of the same rank and sat on an equal footing, but Willard was old enough to be his grandfather, so he naturally respected him more.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to do this."

Willard gently patted Augustine's hand and comforted him: "The church always stands behind you."

On the way here, he had heard Bai Tu roughly talk about what had happened recently. While he was angry, he also sympathized with the emperor.

"Thank you." Augustine sighed.

But he looks much better now than yesterday. After all, he went to see Lina in the evening. It can be regarded as a mixture of sadness and joy.

"Hello, Your Majesty."

Then Tiga also greeted Augustine. Augustine nodded in return and stepped onto the steps with Willard's arm.

The emperor's seat was in the middle of the highest platform, and Willard's seat was on the right.

This represents the church's position of not interfering with the imperial power.

And Tiga also sat next to Webster, Rin's position.

"Your Highness, this is our first meeting. It is not convenient to exchange pleasantries now. We need to wait until the political meeting is over."

Tiga whispered to Rin, who nodded and said no more.

After Willard sat down, Augustine waved his hand and the parliament officially began.

This time, it was not to discuss any political affairs. The purpose was just to publicly judge the crimes of the eldest prince Sylvester, who colluded with the accuser, framed the son, and intended to murder the princess Lina and Emperor Augustine.

This opening speech alone was enough to scare the nobles.

After listening to the reading of Archbishop Webster, who represented the court of justice, there was an uproar among the ministers.

Many nobles who were originally close to the eldest prince had even more complicated expressions, but now it was a trial, they could only listen and had no right to interrupt.

"The evidence of the former Grand Prince Sylvester's crimes is solid, and he has confessed. His crimes are as follows.

In XX month of XX year, he obtained the formula of an illegal potion, and while the sorcerer Anthony was removing the curse from Princess Lina, he teamed up with the deadly apostle to bribe Master Anthony's disciples, replaced Master Anthony's potion, and then killed the disciples.

The evidence is as follows."

A priest handed the box to Willard respectfully.

After reading it, Willard nodded and asked someone to pass it to Tiga for review.

"Sylvester instructed Albert to purchase and search for medicinal materials to prepare the potion. This is his handwritten note that Albert kept privately, as well as the stub of the purchase of medicinal materials."

This is also a way for Albert to leave himself a way out.

Although he is relatively stupid, he knows Sylvester's character very well. Especially after seeing him kill Anthony's disciples to silence them, he is even more afraid that he will also be killed.

Sylvester has always regarded him as a loyal stupid dog. He never thought that the formula he wrote down for the convenience of memory would be found by Albert again after he threw it away.

If he wants to blame someone, he can only blame himself for not being careful enough.

"This potion has roughly the same formula as the potion found in the meditation room this time, but a volatile agent has been added, which is enough to prove that the criminal is also planning to assassinate Her Highness Lina this time."
