These days in prison, no one came to ask me where the box was, whether it would have a major impact on society, and no one asked me the reason for defecting.
I am just a pawn in the high-level struggle for power and profit. In order to tell a good story about promotion, I can even ignore the most basic duty of Destiny - fighting against Honkai.
If he hadn't really solved the problem of the box, with the current sensitivity of Destiny to the Honkai, the Herrscher would have been born at this time, and the Honkai would have started.
"Fulfill your marriage contract with me, you know I...will not let you die." Outside the prison, through a layer of iron gates, Otto's voice sounded.
Karen could guess that what he actually wanted to say was "Fulfill your marriage contract with me, you know how much I like you".
Why not say it boldly?
Could it be that even you know that the conditions of Mandate of Heaven are too much, so much that you can't bear to look at it and feel guilty, but you just can't stop the desire in your heart from coming to me?
It's just... when love is mixed with interests and is no longer pure love, you can't tell me your sincerity... is it?
Otto, you must be struggling inside.
Karen reached out to touch the iron door, her forehead resting on it weakly.
Sorry, I am not an ideal perfect lover, I have to break the luck in your heart with my own mouth.
Her voice became firmer.
"Go back and tell Bishop Nicholas: Karen refuses his request. This is her own decision."
"Also... let's make all my trial and conviction process public, so that the whole process is under the watchful eyes of the public."
This is to let the justice of the saint come into the eyes of the world.
Living as a pawn is no nobler than dying, but Karen Kaslana's death must be meaningful.
Her death must be to fight against injustice, and to save more people from oppression. Only in this way can the people's resentment and monstrous anger be ignited, and the dirty carrion of destiny will be burned, leaving behind a person who is not afraid of fire. Essence.
For this reason, the justice of the saint must not be slandered, and the truth must be preserved.
Shakespeare, hurry up, I'm running out of time.
Chapter 48 Public Judgment Session
bang-
The iron door was artificially opened, and Karen withdrew from the state of resting with her eyes closed, slightly opened her eyelids, and half-opened her eyes.
After that conversation with Otto, another week passed, during which Otto would come once a day to persuade himself.
She was unmoved, and then when things like this continued until the fifth day.
Otto doesn't come anymore.
......
Did you give up?Karen doesn't think so. She knows Otto. Once he settles on something, it's not so easy for him to give up, let alone it's about himself.
So... have you made your will clear and plan to do something privately?
Karen's head, which had not been active for a long time, was thinking silently, but before she could figure out something, the voices of outsiders came in.
"Let's go, it's time for your trial, Lord Karen."
The archbishop agreed to Kallen's request, allowing the entire process of his conviction to be exposed to the sun for the public to watch.
In fact, the nobles were firmly opposed to this matter, but the archbishop, who was aware of the stakes, still chose not to give the nobles any chance to discredit Kaslana.
At the same time, the archbishop is also looking forward to the turbulent public opinion that will continue to exert pressure on the castle council after Kallen's public trial, so as to make his power transfer more stable.
But he may not have imagined that in a corner he couldn't see...or ignored, someone was quietly plotting everything about him.
The archbishop may not see a day for a smooth transition of power.
----
Tap... Tap...
Karen walked up to the soldier, took a deep breath, and watched the soldier put on the shackles respectfully.
"bring it on."
Caroline stretched out her white hands.
"Yes, Lord Karen."
The soldier gently locked the shackles, which had almost no binding effect, on Karen's wrist. At this moment, Karen finally looked like a subdued prisoner.
But it's just a little resemblance in appearance. In terms of temperament, the emotions contained in Karen's eyes still make the soldiers dare not look at each other.
They know what they're doing, but they can't change anything.
In this way, the soldier walked ahead, and Karen followed behind, not like a prisoner, but more like a soldier invited her out of prison.
----
Snapped!
The hammer hit the table and made a loud noise. The elderly nobleman looked down at Karen, while the ordinary people not far away who were isolated by the soldiers with the blockade were talking about it.
"It's Lord Karen."
"Lord Kallen..."
The crowd looked at the woman on the stage with worried eyes. Her white hair was scattered behind her back. Without a little care, she no longer had the braided appearance.
But just standing there, she felt an inexplicable pressure.
The judge's eyes twitched.
Karen's personal power is too terrifying. If she hadn't volunteered, no matter how much force the entire Destiny sent out, it would be impossible to catch her back.
Unless she sacrificed her life in exchange for her physical strength... but in that case, the destiny would not be able to bear it either.
In other words, the resources consumed are too unbalanced compared with the things obtained.
But fortunately, Kallen has a weakness, and they also took advantage of Kallen's weakness.
"Karen! You are guilty!"
----
"My lord judge, I don't know what crime I have committed." Karen raised her head and looked directly at the stage.
"You blatantly robbed the important research product of Destiny! Publicly publicized and even opposed Destiny! Smeared the fair image of Destiny with seriously inconsistent rumors!"
"Many charges have been added one by one, and the evidence is solid! You still say that you don't know what crimes?! Even if you are a saint of destiny, you can't turn black and white!"
On the stage, the judge spoke excitedly, saliva flying everywhere.
And hearing the crimes listed by the judge, the people not far away began to discuss... The nobles couldn't hear it, but the soldiers in charge of guarding order were sweating coldly on their foreheads.
Because they heard it clearly, what these people were talking about was not how bad the saint was, but they were targeting the nobles one after another.
At least more than 1000 people gathered on the field at this time, but there were only more than 100 soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order, and all of them were carrying ordinary weapons, without the enhancement of Houkai.
If there is a riot, they can't protect the nobles.
"It's ridiculous! The so-called destiny's research product is a box that seals the devil!" Karen said with a sneer, "You secretly conducted human experiments in order to study the power of the devil, causing countless minors to be murdered. It violates the fundamental purpose of the Mandate of Heaven to protect the people."
"Neither the experiment itself nor the person who presided over the experiment has any legitimacy, should not be protected by law, and should be punished!"
"What I did was what every Kaslana should do!"
"As for the rumours..." Karen glanced at the nobles sitting, then looked at the chaotic crowd outside, her voice was louder so that almost everyone could hear, "I just put the facts in concise The language has been spoken once!"
Karen resolutely refuted the judge's words one by one, resolutely not pleading guilty, and at the same time used her own strength to amplify her voice so loudly that ordinary people could hear it.
Since she didn't come here because she gave up on herself, but was tried with the idea of tearing apart the authority of the Mandate of Heaven with her own hands, she didn't say anything about falling in love with a Herrscher.
Although these unorthodox remarks are more likely to anger the nobles and make them kill themselves regardless of means, but if they really want to speak out and let all the people hear, the legitimacy of Karen as a saint will also be questioned.
After all, no matter in that era, there was a blood feud between Honkai and human beings, and the people at this time were far less enlightened than later generations. Even in the information age, there are still people who are unwilling to forgive even the sober-minded Herrscher , let alone now.
At this point in the trial, the basic process can no longer be carried out. After all, Karen has sufficient reasons. As the charges were refuted one by one, Karen's momentum gradually overwhelmed the nobles.
So they were furious, completely ignoring the strange and angry eyes of the people, and dragged all the bribed people to the trial seat as witnesses.
Talking bluntly to himself, he put the blame on Karen again.
Karen looked at the dodging eyes of the so-called "witnesses", and there were even many people who had been rescued by her. She seemed to be looking for someone seriously.
After a few minutes, she couldn't find it.
Kallen smiled.
She knew that Sasha would not be among these people, and the others just met by chance, at most they happened to support a few bad money when they were phantom thieves.
It doesn't matter.
Chapter 49 The Eve of the Execution
Kallen's execution was set for three days later.
The public trial not only aroused great repercussions among the people, but even affected the Valkyries and individual priests.
In any case, in an organization spread all over Europe, it is impossible for everyone to have their hands stained with evil. There must be people who really think about the people, and there must be people who sincerely fight against Honkai.
Now this group of people, after the nobles forcibly put false charges on the saint, although they didn't say anything on the surface, they still felt shaken by the destiny in their hearts.
They did not shout for the saint, nor did they complain like ordinary people, but completed their own work as usual.
The nobles never knew that it was these groups, led by a man named Otto Apocalypse, who would directly turn the nobles' class upside down.
The most fundamental reason why the Castle Council dared to forcibly label Karen in public without being afraid of riots was that they believed in the combined ruling power of the Mandate of Heaven and the Council.
Religion + politics go hand in hand, no one can really shake the foundation of destiny, unless it is destiny itself.
However, in fact, when the civil war started, the first ones to stab the nobles were those who were in the Mandate of Heaven and planned to do their best, but never spoke out.
----
And within three days of turbulence amidst the calm, no one noticed that some unknown changes had taken place in the original European town.
If you have to say it, it's probably an atmosphere, a feeling, which is the same for ordinary people, but it is slightly different for the Valkyries who use the power of Houkai.
The concentration of the Houkai energy in the past three days has been unstable, fluctuating from high to low. It seems that something is assimilating here. This feeling makes many Valkyrie vigilant.
Karen's perception is the clearest, but she also doesn't know what happened. As the saying goes, if she has the ability to jump out of this world and look at it from another dimension, she will find that her original world Has sunk unconsciously.
Like two objects inside and outside the mirror, something real is falling, and something false, or another dimension, is rising.
[The last three days, Brownie, Delta, stand on the last shift. 】
In the World Bubble, Delta and Brownie saw Li Kai's big ball of light after a long absence, and they stood side by side, one left and one right.
"It's been a long time since I saw you like this." Delta sighed, then shook his head, "It's obvious that I haven't been in that world for a long time, why do I have the feeling that...it's been a long time since I came back... "
"It should be that we used to travel from one world to another, doing missions, and now we plan to run a world for a long time, and there are no specific missions, so we are not used to it." Brownie had a lollipop in his mouth, and his words were vague said.
"Li Kai, are we going to settle down in this world?"
[It doesn't count now, but it will count in the future. 】
The three of them then looked at the two worlds that had been gradually separated and could switch at any time.
----
The day before Karen's execution, in a dark room.
The dim light illuminated the shadows of two people, one with her head bowed, the other twisted like a devil... No, maybe the devil is not suitable, she is just a woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions.
Otto thought of all the available and feasible methods, but none of them could save Kallen's life. She will...
No, no no.
There must be other ways, he did not allow Kallen to die like this, to die in this way... Being forced to die by the shameless conspiracy of the nobles, this is the most useless way to die.
No, this is not the time to discuss the method of death.
What he wants is for Kallen to live, no matter what method he uses, no matter who he trades with.
----
His father died, and the most powerful man in Europe was poisoned at the most critical moment, and no one investigated the truth for him.
Lisa, her own sister, did it.
Now that she can do this, can she...rescue Kallen?
