Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

After Anthony took his seat, he handed over the files sorted out from the city lord's mansion and the paper documents recording the confessions of the "mansion guards" to the "Great Arbitrator" of the [Supreme], Randall.

Randall did not reach out to take it. A glimmer of bright gold luster flashed in his pupils, and he "decreed":

"——[Review these documents]."

Randall's voice seemed to have some overlapping echoes. And at the same time as he made the "decree", another vague phantom appeared behind him.

The "phantom" had the same appearance and outline as Randall, but the details were blurred and unrecognizable. The "phantom" leaned over and reached out to pick up the files and documents on the table, then retreated behind Randall, stroking the pages and began to "review" them page by page.

"Decree" and "spiritual body" are both unique abilities of the [Supreme].

"Well, after my spirit body has reviewed those documents, I will know how to judge the charges against Rodif Walden."

Randall said, and his eyes were fixed on Anthony at the same time: "So, does the Holy Court have anything to add?"

"Lord Rodall." Anthony nodded and said, "You know. This time, Rodif has caused us a lot of trouble."

"This is inevitable." Randall did not comment, "The Pure Order has also caused us a lot of trouble."

"I hope the Law Office can make some explanations and compensation for this." Anthony said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "And, I hope to see Rodif being executed before we officially leave Red Maple City."

This time, Randall was silent.

He frowned slightly, and asked in a dissatisfied tone: "Anthony, are you teaching the 'Great Arbitrator' how to do things?"

"This is my power." Anthony retorted at the right time, "Although we are not tainted by the secular world, in the field of 'supernormal', my authority is above yours."

"So, Randall." Anthony's tone was slightly depressed, "This is undoubtedly a 'supernormal event'. On the premise that we have provided complete evidence, my request is not excessive."

Randall's golden eyes stared directly into Anthony's eyes. Luo Xiu, who was "watching the battle" on the side, felt that the atmosphere on the scene was tense.

The supernormal people of [Supreme] and [Glorious] often have such disagreements. Luo Xiu glanced at Connor and Pamier, who were expressionless beside him. They were already accustomed to such scenes.

...

The "confrontation" on the table continued until Randall's "spiritual body" reviewed the documents.

The spirit body with a blurred outline gently put the documents back on the table, then bowed slightly to Randall and said:

"——No problem, my Lord. This is a very detailed file, which can indeed prove all the charges of 'Rodif Walden'."

After hearing Randall's "spiritual body" make such a judgment, Luo Xiu could feel that Anthony's tension, which was originally tense, relaxed.

After listening to the report of the "spiritual body", Randall immediately crossed his hands and issued a new "command" to his spirit body:

"——[Retreat]."

Randall's spirit body then bowed slightly, and then retreated, turning into a dark stream of light and disappearing.

"Okay." Randall finally said, "Anthony, your request is reasonable. On behalf of the 'Attorney General', I accept your request."

...

The trial of "Rodif Walden" was announced the day after the meeting.

On this day, almost all the citizens of Red Maple City above the middle class were gathered in the largest square.

In front of the crowd of citizens was a grand platform built temporarily and a fixed gallows.

The Supreme Arbitrator Randall was standing on the platform with his hands behind his back, looking down at the crowd below.

The people were whispering, and they didn't know what had happened at this time.

Although "Lord of Rodif" had been missing for nearly a week, Rodif, who was used to being a vagrant, did not have any negative impact on the normal operation of the city.

On the contrary, since the disappearance of "Lord of Rodif", people were surprised that the Lord's Mansion did not send anyone to collect various taxes!

This was the first time for the general public.

People's curious eyes turned to the platform in front of them, focusing on the "big man" standing at the top, wearing a gorgeous noble robe.

"——【All in silence】!"

The invisible pressure spread rapidly outward from Landauer as the origin.

This was a collective decree from the Supreme. The people at the scene suddenly felt a tremor, and their mouths, which were originally chattering, seemed to be zipped up in an instant.

The whole place suddenly fell silent, and the people began to stare at each other.

At this time, they gradually understood who the "big man" on the platform was.

——That was the real "ruling class" of the Nolan Empire!

——The Supreme! The rulers who control the "dominance" of the entire empire!

On weekdays, these ordinary people would never see such a big man. Although they were forced to be silent at this time, their eyes revealed unprecedented enthusiasm.

"Now, I will announce an important thing——"

Landauer then spoke, his voice was not loud, but with his extraordinary power, everyone present could hear it clearly.

"——'Lodifu Walden', the former Lord of Red Maple City, has now been found guilty of 17 serious crimes including 'the highest crime of treason', 'the highest crime of blasphemy', and 'the highest crime of corruption'."

"——Now, in the name of the [Supreme], I formally remove him from the position of 'Lord of Red Maple City', deprive him of all political rights, and sentence him to death by hanging, to be executed immediately."

As Landauer's words came out, he also lifted the "group silence" decree.

The next moment, the crowd suddenly boiled!

"——What? Rodif is collaborating with the enemy? Execute immediately...hang?"

"——This is too sudden! Old Peter, did you hear that!"

"——That's great! That fat pig should have died long ago!"

"——Ah? What? What happened..."

"——Fried fish strips with melon seeds and peanuts, if needed..."

"——No wonder I was wondering why the guards of the mansion didn't come to collect taxes from me..."

"——Rodif is going to be hanged? Then...what about Red Maple City? What should we do?"

"——..."

The civilians were shocked by this explosive news.

And under the gaze of everyone, behind the platform.

A fat body stripped of all clothes and naked was dragged onto the platform by the guards.

That was Lord Rodif!

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Rodif's naked body.

"——He, he is actually... a corrupt person!"

"——Mom, mom, you..."

"——Children can't watch, can't watch!"

"——Hang him! Hang him!"

"——..."

The atmosphere of the crowd reached a climax for a while.

The guards carried Rodif to the bottom of the gallows and put a noose around his fat neck.

At this time, Rodif had lost his mind, his body was trembling slightly, and he had no sense of what was happening.

But this did not prevent the people from showing unprecedented enthusiasm and excitement about Rodif's upcoming hanging.

People waved their arms angrily and denounced and cursed. This was the cheapest justice that ordinary people could do.

When they confirmed that the rope around Rodif's neck was fastened, the guards raised their axes and cut the rope behind them.

——Sizzle! Rodif's fat body was suddenly hung high up. He kicked his feet a few times in the air and then stopped moving.

Lodifu Walden, the biggest cancer in Red Maple City, has been officially killed.

There will be more later. I just came back from visiting the grave and wrote this QwQ
