Twenty Sided Dice

The Lord's Hall of Castle Black and Blood served as a restaurant, conference room, and casino at the same time, but it was the first time that it was used as a judgment hall. (This chapter is updated by 77nt.Com) There is still dried vomit on the stone floor, the dog feces that have not been cleaned up in the corners smell faintly, as for the dark red mark under the window, I don't know which drunken fight was left behind of. In short, this place is more than enough as a gladiatorial arena, but too child's play as an adjudication court.

But His Royal Highness Prince Aaron sat on the only high-backed chair at the scene, watching the crowd without saying a word, so no one suggested a place to change.

When the Paladins stood apart by the walls on both sides, the pale golden cloaks were as bright and vivid as the rising sun, and the shields standing in front of them became a filthy shelter in the corners of the walls, and the hall finally took shape. The nobles who have been trapped here for a long time have long been in a panic, and finally waited for this interesting thing. They entered the room whispering, the breath of alcohol almost directly visible from their mouths.

"Silence!" Earl Todd's voice echoed in the hall, and everyone else knew that they should shut up obediently. It turned out that there were other voices besides the earl. Evan is helping his brother prepare drinks with a jug. Those big hands with superb swordsmanship actually trembled at this moment, deliberately making the wine glass make a rattling sound.

"Leading people," said the count loudly.

Janet was sandwiched between two paladins, with translucent glowing chains on her wrists and ankles, held in the hands of a third paladin behind her. Countless mysterious runes are printed on the chain, which can keep evil creatures and demons at bay. But Janet only thought it was an ordinary chain, even lighter than an ordinary iron chain.

She was arrested this afternoon as everyone's dinner was being prepared in the kitchen and she was tasked with clearing the plates. After being ambushed in the snow, she used her ability to change shape to disguise. Mercenaries, soldiers, valet, and then the cook. Even when Dawn Church's rescue arrived, she didn't come out to meet her, and continued to hide in the kitchen. This is her habit after training. The previous identity can only be reused when it is absolutely safe to do so.

There was no one around to make her feel safe since Siegel was blinded by his own flash. Then after being knocked off a cliff by a horse, life becomes permanent darkness. She was always in a trance state, couldn't sleep well every day, and had nightmares all night. In the dream, she turned into a giant burning with fire all the time. Her hair, skin, and most of her flesh were scorched and stripped in the flames, and her lovely face was transformed into a terrifying skull, only a tattered layer of dead skin remained. The tail behind him is no longer smooth and round, but like a scorpion. There is also a drop of poison on the tip. The pungent smell of sulphur added to the dream a terrible rancid smell. This terrifying monster keeps creating walls of ice, stacked high on top of each other. When a figure approached, the monster would push down these ice walls, slap the figure below, smash it into meat patties, and squeeze it into blood porridge.

The figure was sometimes Janet, sometimes Siegel.

She woke up sweating profusely, and sometimes found herself not on the bed, but anywhere in the castle, and the prototype of the demon descendant appeared. Sometimes she has some wounds on her body. But it wasn't serious, like being scratched by sharp objects such as scissors, but she couldn't recall what happened. This sleepwalking is getting worse. However, the paladins patrolling the castle never noticed it, so many times Janet felt that sleepwalking itself was a dream, and everything seemed illusory and unreal since Siegel disappeared.

Siegel was missing and would never die, she believed deeply in her heart.

Now she didn't know what her crime was, so she was brought in front of everyone. The atmosphere here seems to be a starry kingdom, with the pointing aristocrats, the knights in a pose, and the royal family aloft. The courage she remembered slowly poured in, and the part that belonged to the spy "kitten" began to take over.

The first is the prayer of Pastor Bishop Cooper. He prayed that the evil in the darkness would be dispelled in the same way, and that light and justice would be brought to all on earth. when he finished. Prince Aaron continued: "This time the ruling will be presided over by Earl Todd." Then. He took a sip and placed the glass lightly on the table beside him. Evan poured the wine again, expressing his dissatisfaction in this way.

"Janet, did you cast a curse on His Royal Highness?" the earl asked straight to the point.

Janet shook her head. "No," she replied.

The bishop priest frowned. Although it was beyond his expectations, he still said without concealment: "The magic revealed that this statement is true."

"It's over, Mr. Earl should be at ease, why don't you go back to rest?" Evan pouted and said with a smile.

Ignoring the behavior of the illegitimate child at all, "Then you deny that you are a devil?" the Count continued.

"I deny it," Janet said. "I'm just a demon, not a devil."

Pastor Cooper suddenly shouted loudly: "Lie!" The holy emblem in his hand radiated a dazzling golden light, like a spear of light that pierced the darkness, and shot Janet fiercely. The girl screamed in pain, and the crowd covered their ears. She fell to the ground, twitching like a mouse under a cat's paw.

Then, a phantom appeared on Janet's body, first standing still like a stone figure, and then countless cracks appeared on the surface. Below the crack is red magma, and the huge heat drives the statue to stand. The statue then had claws, teeth and wings. In the eyes of all, this is the devil.

Janet saw the scene too, and it wasn't her at all, not even her dream. She tried to beg for mercy, but couldn't say anything under the pressure of magic. There was a commotion in the hall, some people retreated in disgust, while others put their hands on the sword. Sir Bill frowned, staring at the scene without saying a word. His fists clenched and loosened, hesitating for a few breaths, but finally stood up, bowed to Earl Todd, and asked to speak.

"Stop your spell, Bishop Priest, I think everyone can see it clearly." The count waved his hand and rescued Janet from her pain. When the phantom slowly disappeared and disappeared completely, the earl said to Lord Bill, "Mr. Baron Tiger Bill, do you have anything to say?"

"I would like to hear the confession of this prisoner," said Sir Bill. "She should have a chance to defend herself."

"In order to show the justice of His Royal Highness, it is natural to give this Miss Janet a chance to speak." The count turned to ask the priest: "How, is it safe?"

"Please rest assured that the safety of the royal family has always been our primary goal." Pastor Cooper replied: "Even if we ask her to speak, it will not affect everyone around me, and I will personally guard His Royal Highness, which is absolutely foolproof. ."

"Well, you can speak for yourself." The earl looked at Janet: "Tell me, you are disguised as a servant, what are your intentions in the Black Blood Castle?"

The kitten coughed hard, and the magic made her throat feel like it was on fire, and puffs of black smoke spewed out with the cough - this scene made everyone more worried. She barely propped herself up with her hands and looked around at everyone present. No one will speak for her, there are only those who watch the fun, those with ulterior motives, those who are stubborn and full of prejudice. Even Siegel's master used the word "criminal" to describe himself. In your hearts, I have been condemned, Janet thought.

"I followed a good person to the City Wall Mountains." Janet said slowly, her voice was not high, as if she was talking to herself. "He fell off a cliff during the battle and disappeared. I was taken to the castle and I have been waiting for him here. I know he will come to me as long as he is not dead."

After hearing this, several people who were acquainted with Siegel thought of the young man who rescued His Royal Highness the Prince and was then named a baron. It seems that the canonization ceremony in the snow is still vivid, but only four people can still remember the appearance of the conferees. Sir Bill's heart was full of pain, and every time he mentioned it, it felt like a knife had been gouged out of his heart. Afterwards, he asked several people about the situation on the battlefield, and he came to the same conclusion: Janet's flashing spell rod caused Siegel to lose his vision of the battlefield, which led to the incident of falling off the cliff. Bill Bill has been looking for Janet, wanting to ask her the truth, so as to determine the responsibility for the whole thing. However, this demon descendant had been hidden for a long time and was not discovered until today.

So Sir is very contradictory. On the one hand, he wants to make the person most responsible for causing Siegel to fall off the cliff to pay the price. On the other hand, he feels that it is very unfair to interrogate a little girl like this. Almost everyone present was attracted by the priest's spells, and already regarded Janet as a devil. But does the spell have to be real? If it's all true, then it's also true what the girl said about not putting a curse on the prince. In fact, the purpose of the trial was not to find out the reason why His Royal Highness could not recover. As for the rest, it didn't matter.

So Sir Bill said: "It's not about Siegel now. Please explain, the prince's slow recovery, does this have anything to do with you?"

"No. It has nothing to do with me at all," Janet replied.

"Another lie," said Pastor Cooper. Besides him, three other pastors agreed.

Actually Sir Bill asked the wrong question. When facing the blood magician together, the blood of Janet, Evan, and Aaron were mixed together, and the blood of the demons did affect the prince, which was a small reason for his weakness. So when asked whether it is related, Janet and this matter are naturally related. If Siegel was here, he would have chosen another wording: "Have you caused the prince's infirmity?"

The count waved his hand and maintained the order of the scene. He said: "It is now very obvious that this woman is an enemy of the royal family and is related to the incident of the prince's poor health. For the long-term stability of the Starry Kingdom, I propose to put her to death."

Everyone looked at Pastor Cooper, waiting for his answer. (To be continued)
