"Desad is dead?" Viola stood up, her eyes full of surprise.

Ren nodded.

This is a note sent by the consul Gneus.

His face was very ugly. Dessad was a living mouth that he deliberately left behind, apparently to pry out the main messenger of the attack from his mouth and force the Nether elders to confess. In fact, only he knows that Dessad has some inside information about the depravity of Master Ogurevi.

I had planned to visit Desad secretly before his trial in another two days, and maybe get some key information from his mouth.

But unexpectedly, this guy died.

The Prison of the Church of Justice is the strictest prison in the Empire. There may not be one of them. Desade is such an important person. Lusper wanted to take his life to give the Church a prestige, so he sent the Sword of Order to guard it at all times. problem occurs.

Seeing that Ren was unhappy, Viola comforted him: "If you die, you will die. Anyway, the Grand Arbiter would not dare to involve the Duke of Redstone."

Ren sighed without explaining much.

He sat back on the edge of the bed and suddenly asked, "Who do you think will be in charge?"

"It must be the Duke of Redstone..." Viola replied subconsciously, and then found that this contradicted her last sentence.

Since everyone knows that the mastermind behind the attack on Rennes is the Duke of Redstone, the Church of Justice has also controlled the influence of the matter within a certain range, and has no intention to investigate further. Wouldn't it be superfluous to kill again?

Dessad's death in the Justice Church's prison was tantamount to a slap in the face of the Justice Church.

Doing so may anger the Righteous Church.

Grand Arbiter Luspel is not a member of the Supreme Council, but his strength, status and power are actually better than most Holy Soul Wizards, second only to the three giants of the Empire.

The Justice Church controls the imperial judicial system, maintains justice and order, and is politically neutral, but it does not mean that they are all good people without temper.

Murder and silence will surely offend the Righteous Church.

With the wisdom of the Duke of Redstone, such a foolish act would never have been possible.

"Isn't it the Duke of Redstone who did it?"

Viola was confused and wondered: "But besides him, who else has a motive for murder? The Justice Church's prison is guarded by the Sword of Order, which can kill silently under the eyes of so many legendary holy swordsmen. To die Desade, at least a saint-level extraordinary person, the Holy Soul Wizard is the most suspect..."

"If the Duke of Redstone is really going to start, why did he wait until today?" Ren also asked a question.

"Too……"

Viola was even more confused.

Dessad has been imprisoned for two days. The Justice Church wants to ask him what to say. Two days are more than enough time. Even if he wants to leave some confessions and wait for them to be used in the future, it is too late for the Duke of Redstone to silence them now.

The Duke of Redstone must have known the first time Dessad was arrested.

It makes no sense that he thought about it for two days before deciding to do it.

"Could it be that someone framed it and deliberately made the Duke of Redstone and the Church of Justice have a grudge?" Viola made a guess, and suddenly looked at Renne with some doubts in his eyes.

If anyone is motivated to do so, Ren is definitely the first.

Although Ren has been by his side for the past two days, don't forget that he also has a clone, Raistlin, who is elusive and unfathomable. Maybe he can sneak into the Prison of the Justice Church and kill Thadde, but there will be no one. Suspicion came to Ren's head.

Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I didn't do it, Raistlin has returned to Modu."

Buoyang Si disappeared, and in order to prevent this enemy from running into his own territory to take revenge, he asked Raistlin to go back to guard Glamorgan.

"I'm just guessing." Viola covered her mouth and chuckled, "If it wasn't you, who would it be?"

Ren also fell into deep thought.

There are too many doubts in this matter, and the fog is so thick that even I can't see the truth clearly.

What is certain is that Dessad was by no means silenced because of the possibility of dragging the Duke of Redstone into the water. The cause of his death must be related to the depravity of Master Ogurevi.

In other words, the person who killed Desade must also know the inside story of the depravity of Master Ogulevi.

The Duke of Redstone is still the number one suspect, but it is very likely that he did not do it, because the timing is not right, if he wants to do it, he will not wait until today. Since Desade was able to be killed today, it was also possible two days ago. It is almost unlikely that the prison's defense was too strict, and there was no chance to do it until today.

Considering this line of thought, there are two possibilities.

First, the reason why the murderer started today is because he just learned that Dessad was caught and questioned.

Second, the other party knows that day, but it takes time to make arrangements.

For example, the person who really has the strength to do it is not in Northrael, but in a far away place, and it took two days to arrive; it may also be that the person who starts is not so strong and has not reached the holy level, so it is necessary to be careful. The plan, waiting for the opportunity, finally succeeded in killing Dessad.

The two possible probabilities are five to five.

If it is the first case, the murderer must be the kind of person who doesn't care much about the current affairs of the empire, otherwise, it will not take two days to know about the sensational incident of Dessad's arrest.

If it is the second case, then the murderer is not in Northrael, so it is more likely to delay the action for two days.

Ren quickly clarified his thoughts, got up and said, "I'm going to the Church of Justice."

"Well." Viola helped him adjust the light armor and cloak, as gentle as his wife, "Go quickly, I will wait for you to come back and rest together."

"Okay." Ren lowered his head and kissed her on the lips lightly, opened the portal and walked in.

The landing point of the portal was above the city on the east side of Nothril, and Ren walked out of it, hovering in the air, looking down at a majestic and majestic building on the ground.

This is the headquarters of the Church of Justice - the Court of Justice.

Tyrael, the **** of justice and order, has the clergy of "justice", "order", "law", "guardian", "arbitration", etc. His followers control the judicial system of the empire, and this court of justice is both the law of the empire The symbol of Tyrael is also the embodiment of Tyrael's prestige in the world.

In front of the Court of Justice stands a huge sculpture.

The whole body is made of gold, and the whole is a balance. The support shaft in the middle of the balance is a sword, the tip of the sword is pointing down, inserted in the center of a thick code, and the code is placed on a base several meters high. , the opened page is densely filled with the teachings of the Righteous Church and the most important laws of the empire.

This is the scale of the Holy Emblem of the God of Justice!

A vast and majestic divine power emanated from the holy emblem, and people couldn't help but worship.

Ren scanned it with the all-seeing eye and found that the justice court was the same as the temple of truth of the goddess of magic. Many places were shrouded in divine power, and the all-seeing eye could not see through.

A carriage came along the street from the direction of the Palace of the Netherlands, under the arches of the Reik's Guard.

The flag-holding officer in front of the team held a square battle flag with a double-headed eagle embroidered on the flag representing the imperial consul. Wherever they passed, pedestrians on the street at night avoided one after another.

Gnaeus was sitting in the car.

Ren waited for a while and the team arrived at the Court of Justice before he released his stealth and landed.

The Rick Guards noticed that someone was falling from the sky, and immediately became alert. Seeing that it was Ren, he relaxed his vigilance and let him approach the consul's team.

Gnieus got out of the car and nodded slightly to him, and said with a serious look: "Ren, just in time for you to arrive, let's go in together."

The two bypassed the sacred emblem of the Codex Scales and stepped onto the steps.

An "arbitrator" of the Justice Church was already waiting at the door, "Your Excellency the Consul, Speaker Ren, please come with me."

"Cissier, what's going on?" Gnieus asked aloud.

Ren also recognized this powerful holy swordsman.

The Justice Church has a strict internal hierarchy. It is cultivated by the lowest-level holy sword attendants and becomes an official holy swordsman before entering the rank sequence of the church. Newly promoted holy swordsmen have to go through years of training, memorize the laws of the empire, practice the teachings, and reach an intermediate level in strength, and only after a series of assessments can they be promoted to "executors".

Executioners have the power to enforce the law in the Empire, act as judges and executioners, cleanse evil, maintain justice and order, and generally serve as leaders of a church.

At the beginning of Ren's crossing, he saw the holy swordsman in Longshande, who was an executioner.

One of the two armed forces of the Justice Church, the Swordsmen of the Silver Hand, each member is strictly selected from among the executioners.

The executioner is further promoted to the "Judger".

The judges are almost all legendary holy swordsmen, responsible for the operation of a city's temple of justice, as well as the law and order within its jurisdiction.

The strongest armed force of the Justice Church, the Sword of Order, is selected from among the judges.

One level above the judge is the "arbiter".

Arbiters have stepped into the upper echelons of the Church of Justice. They are usually high-ranking legends, commanders of the Silver Hand or Sword of Order, or the Church of Justice in charge of a human kingdom, spreading the teachings of Tyrael, and maintaining the local legal order.

There are more than 20 arbitrators in the Church of Justice, four of whom have been promoted to the holy rank and have the title of Sword Saint.

These four Sword Saints are honored as Arbitrators.

Luspel, headed by him, alone enjoys the title of Grand Arbiter and serves as Pope, replacing Tyrael in charge of his extraordinary power in the mortal world.

Cecil is one of the three arbitrators of the Church of Justice, and his title is "Silver Sword".

For many years, Cecil has been the representative of the Justice Church in the cabinet, and his official status is at the same level as the cabinet minister, who is actually the minister of justice. The Church of the Earth also has a corresponding representation in the cabinet, with an archbishop serving as minister of agriculture and medical care.

So Gneus was very familiar with Cicero.

Cicero shook his head. He was dressed in silver armor and did not wear a helmet. The expression on his vicissitudes and serious face was ugly. He was silent for a few seconds before replying: "We are still investigating, and there is no result yet."

Gnieus didn't ask any more questions.

Ren said nothing, and it was clear why Cicero was so angry.

Dessad's death is a big blow to the Justice Church. The prisoners who used to stand up were gone, the plans were disrupted, and they still died in the heavily guarded prison, which was a loss of face.

The three entered the magnificent court of justice, passed through the palace guarded by rows of holy swordsmen, and finally arrived at a heavily defended white building that looked like a fortress in appearance, all constructed of some kind of rare rock. It depicts the rune formation, which is impregnable.

This is the prison of the Justice Church.

Entering the interior of the fortress, a team of holy swordsmen of the Sword of Order stood guard in front of the gate of an underground passage.

Cecil ordered: "Open the door."

"Yes, Lord Arbitrator." Several legendary holy swordsmen reached out and pressed on the door, injected the unique spiritual sword light of holy swordsmen, and inspired the control rune to push the door open.

Cicero led the two to the passage steps.

All the way down tens of meters diagonally, came to a prison located in the ground, four separate cells appeared in front of me.

Each cell is separated from each other and cannot see the outside, but people outside can have a clear view of the inside. The walls of the cells are made of magic alloy, which is irresistible. A runic circle that casts spells and interferes with meditation effects.

Three of the four cells were empty, and only one had its door open.

Several holy swordsmen stood guard outside the door.

Ren followed Cicero in, and saw the Grand Arbiter Luspel, with a corpse lying under his feet, wearing a robe without any enchantment, with dry limbs, rotten skin, and his face was completely unrecognizable. Who seems to have been dead for hundreds of years.

He was taken aback.

Desade's real age is nearly a thousand years old, close to the lifespan of a legendary extraordinary person, but his appearance before his death looked very young, less than thirty years old.

How did it become like this after being dead for less than half an hour?

"Your Majesty." Gnieus greeted him with a salute.

Luspel turned his head and said lightly: "The Consul is here, and Speaker Rennes, you all come and have a look."

Gnieus has been observing since he entered the cell.

He frowned at the corpse, "Your Majesty, are you sure this is Desad's corpse?"

"It's him." Luspel nodded, "I've confirmed it." He paused and said in detail: "I asked the holy swordsmen on duty, and they didn't notice anything unusual when the incident happened. , Desade has always been in their sight and never left."

"Then in a trance, they suddenly saw Desad fall to the ground and die without making any sound~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The rune circle in the prison was not triggered."

"In less than ten breaths after Desad died, he became like this."

Gnieus looked solemn.

Such a bizarre death process is definitely not something that an extraordinary person below the holy rank can do, and it is even difficult for even a holy soul wizard to complete it.

Desade is not an ordinary person without resistance. He is an eighteenth-level arcanist. Even if he is deprived of all magical equipment and locked in a prison with limited spellcasting ability, his protection and resistance are still there. , not so easy to kill.

What's even more bizarre is Desade's death, as if his life was naturally exhausted, revealing his true age after death.

What kind of spell can have this effect?

At this time, Lusper keenly noticed the change in Ren's face, and seemed to have found something. He stared at Ren and asked, "What did Speaker Ren find?"
