Albert was waiting for this moment.

He stood up from his seat slowly, straightened his collar pretentiously, and then said calmly:

"Everyone, the church is also one of the victims of this terrorist incident. This man turned his blade against innocent people and killed them in a brutal way."

"In fact, since this happened so long ago, you may not know that the Shadow Cult was already notorious more than a hundred years ago. They committed numerous crimes on this continent under the banner of the so-called 'Night Mother'. Fortunately, the Pope at that time was wise and decisive. He quickly organized all the countries on the continent to conduct a sweep against this evil cult and finally wiped it out."

"It's a pity that although the Shadow Cult was destroyed, its founder and bandit leader, Tibinio Shadow Cult, has not yet been brought to justice. We haven't even found his body yet."

"Today, with the full support of the great Dwarf King, the Shadow Heir who had escaped for a hundred years was finally brought to justice... The Church will be grateful..."

Albert talked incessantly, as if the man on the stage was definitely the Shadow Heir, and even implied that "the Church was the hero in capturing the Shadow Heir."

"That's enough, Master Medici. We are not here to hold a celebration party... Let's get to the point. What evidence do you have to prove that this man is the Kage heir?"

Zamotu interrupted Albert's speech.

"Evidence? It's simple. This record is irrefutable evidence."

Albert took out an ancient book as if prepared.

"As everyone knows, the church has the most comprehensive history of the entire continent, from the first generation of heroes tens of thousands of years ago to the major events of this day last year. The one I have in my hand is the history of Shadow Heir recorded by the church more than a hundred years ago. It mentions that Shadow Heir is good at using shadow magic and is proficient in illusions... and so on. If there are any skilled mages present, they can just step forward and take a test to find out."

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

The history that the church possesses is indeed the most complete. Even the historical common sense that most people present know basically comes from the church.

It’s not that they don’t want to question, but that they have no way to question.

"Bah... You are shameless, bullying others who don't know the real history, right?"

In this situation, only Lulu cursed out loud in the audience.

It seems that the church’s monopoly on history and culture over the years has been very successful.

Immortal species are extremely rare in the city, and the only relatively long-lived dwarf has just returned to the earth, so there are still many unclear things about him.

It can be said that in the eyes of most people, the church's records are the most authoritative evidence, even if they are dissatisfied with the church... not to mention that they are victims...

Soon, Zamotu gave a look, and the head of the "Heart Guard" clan walked up to Shay and raised his hand to sweep over him.

"Yes, the concentration of dark elements is extremely high...unheard of...but this is not enough to prove that he is a Kageji."

"Do you have any more compelling evidence, Master Medici?"

"That's natural..."

Albert fabricated a large number of records about Yingsi. After all, the incident happened suddenly, so how could he have the time to collect real historical materials from the church?

During the few days when Shay was arrested, Albert searched all the capable people in the city and prepared a batch of so-called "evidence" tailored for him.

Anyway, almost no one present really knows Yingsi's background, so all he needs is for Albert and Shay to cooperate seamlessly and do whatever he wants.

"and many more!"

Just as Albert was about to produce more "evidence", a voice was heard from the jury box.

"Who are you?"

Zamotu didn't know this person, so he asked.

"I am Maglock Tyrin, a knight of the Kingdom of Fargar, and I have something to say."

Zamotu looked at Eido, who nodded, indicating that it was casual.

"Please, Lord Maglock, what do you think?"

"I wanted to ask from the beginning, why is it Shay Lothar who is standing in the stand?"

"What's the question? He gave his own name."

"I know him. I've known him for a long time. He can't possibly be the Kage-successor you're talking about."

"Oh? So, Lord Maglock also has evidence?"

"This person was born in the Kingdom of Faga. There is a record of this. We just need to send someone to verify it."

"It doesn't matter, Lord Maglock of the Kingdom of Fargar."

Albert interrupted Maglock.

"The important thing is that this man admitted to the crime he committed. Since he has no objection, why should you defend him?"

"Well, Master Medici, I want to ask you, at the beginning of all this, why did the church send people to kill a pair of demon mother and daughter? And why? To kidnap the child? Why did I see a group of thugs wearing the robes of the church's Templar Assassins?"

Maglock's testimony surprised Albert. How could this guy know so much? Didn't that idiot Shay say that only he and Yingsi knew?

However, although he was surprised, Albert did not show it, as there was still room for negotiation on this matter.

"Oh, Lord Maglock's words are somewhat groundless, right? You can't just make up a rumor with your mouth. Does Lord Maglock have any concrete evidence to support his words?"

"The Church does have some historical issues with the demons... but the goddess is philanthropic, and the Church will not go to war for two... civilians."

"Kidnap a child? Oh, now His Majesty the Dwarf King can immediately send people to the church's embassy to search and see if there are any little girls from the demon tribe..."

"As for the false accusation against the Templar Assassins, it is completely false. The Templar Assassins' purpose of this trip was to protect the Saint... Thanks to their sacrifice, Shadow Heir's plot to assassinate the Saint was not successful. Lord Maglock's words mean that I can regard them as an insult to these loyal dead people?"

For every sentence Maglock said, Albert could come up with four sentences to refute him, leaving Maglock, who was not good at speaking, speechless.

"On the contrary, Lord Maglock, I wonder if you have a big problem with the church for making such a targeted accusation?"

The last sentence already had a threatening tone.

After all, the Kingdom of Fajia is controlled by the church. Maglock's attitude is very important and even determines the church's future policies towards Fajia.

"Calm down, Master Maglock."

Nagash's voice came from the side.

"call......"

Maglock took a deep breath and sat back in his seat.

Humph...you are still a little immature to fight with me...

Albert turned back triumphantly, ready to continue presenting his evidence.

......

"Based on the above, this person is undoubtedly the Kageji."

Albert described Yingsi's series of crimes and evidence in great detail, as if everything had really happened.

After saying this, Albert closed the book in his hand and looked at Zamotu, as if to announce that the trial could end here.

"So, Shay Lothar, do you have anything else you want to say in your defense?"

Zamotu looked at Shay, who had remained silent.

Shay glanced at Albert from the corner of his eye, and Albert tried his best to dodge.

"I feel...Mr. Albert's testimony is very convincing. I admit all my crimes..."

"Very well, then..."

Zamotu is about to be sentenced.

"but......"

Shay hadn't finished speaking yet.

"There are some inaccuracies in Lord Albert's testimony."

"Oh? What's so imprecise about that?"

"You guys labeled me as a Kage-successor from the very beginning, which is a little puzzling. Besides, from the time I was arrested until now, when have I ever said that I am a Kage-successor?"

"I didn't mention these two words at all..."

"you......"

As soon as Albert saw Shay's cunning face, he knew that he was going to change his mind.

But it doesn't matter. Anyway, he admitted his crime, which is enough to sentence him to death... and silencing him is not a problem.
