It was as if they thought that if the Lich drank that cup of tea, everything would be irreversible. Just as Fen was about to drink, several voices came from the crowd. "Wait!" "Stop!" "Stop her."
Fen, however, obeyed and stopped what she was doing. Her long eyelashes fluttered along with her beautiful eyes as she looked at the people who spoke.
The people who stopped her seemed to be the same people. Some of them raised their hands, while others raised their heads. There were two types of people: the nobles who were obviously opposed to Grand Duke Carvey, and the priests of justice from the Three Holy Light Church.
Fen smiled coldly and drank boldly. "Gulp." She drank all the tea and pursed her lips slightly as if she was demonstrating her power. Of course, this action angered the people who came to cause trouble. A few impatient nobles mocked him in a way that did not use any obscenities.
Dogs were barking, but Fen didn't mind. She put the cup of tea on the tray of a servant who came to clean it up and waved her hand lightly, gesturing for Marchioness Barland to stand aside. Although she wasn't sitting in the main seat, she had her own demeanor as she looked down and said, "If you want to stop something that has nothing to do with you, you have to have a good reason. Otherwise, you should know who you are offending. "
The most obvious characteristic of the Priests of Justice from the Three Holy Light Churches was that their Holy Robes were embroidered with armor plates, which made their Holy Robes almost as armor. Although the robes were somewhat heavy, it also meant that they could uphold justice at any time and place. It was also because the armor was part of the Saint Robe that no one would stop them from wearing it no matter where they went.
Now, such a person stood out on behalf of the opposing side. He didn't make a long speech. Instead, he threw a Detect Evil spell at the Lich as soon as he appeared. As expected, the evil light on Fen's body that was so red that it was almost purple looked extra conspicuous.
Actually, in the circle of nobles, casually throwing a Detect Evil spell was a big taboo. Because no noble's ass was completely clean. However, this spell was thrown at a Mage today, who was rumored to be a Lich and a Demon King who reigned over that era a thousand years ago. Therefore, in the face of such an outcome, everyone held the mood of watching a show, waiting to see what would happen.
After the results were out, the priest of justice said in a loud voice, "Look, evil man, what method did thou use to bewitch the nobles?" No matter what your intentions are, I will remove the tumor of evil today and return clarity to the world. "
If this was an opera, the people below would be cheering. Even though this priest was not an opera singer, the people beside him were so excited that they wanted to cheer loudly.
Most of the nobles had excited expressions as they waited for the next development. There weren't many people who were truly worried about Lich. Even Grand Duke Carvey didn't think that the other party would be a threat. However, the problem of losing face was still there, so the old man put on a serious expression and thought about how to get out of the situation, or even how to counterattack.
However, before everyone could react, the dark red glow on Lich's body deepened and turned from red to black! Then, the seven colors circulated and changed. Sometimes it refreshed from bottom to top, sometimes it refreshed from left to right, and even slanted up and down. There were many changes.
Later, as if not satisfied with the monotonous flow of colors, there were words that either changed or floated past. Sometimes it was stupid, sometimes it was funny. When some strange words ran past two rounds, someone was so bored that he started to write lyrics: Spin, spin, colorful neon lights!
Sure enough, before the others figured out the situation, a certain Lich couldn't take it anymore!
With a flash, he appeared behind someone in the crowd. He reached out and knocked him on the head, scolding, "What are you playing with?"
"Don't hit my head, I'll become stupid," Lin complained. Then he muttered, "I'm watching someone play with red light magic. If you want to play with this, who can compare to me? Of course, I'll let everyone see my methods. This kind of color change, don't you think it's exciting? "
"You're using me as a curtain!" Finn was about to continue to attack and teach this man a lesson. The priest of justice, however, said in exasperation, "What nonsense are you talking about, this is a divine spell to detect evil. The red light on that Lich just now is proof. Even if you use other colors to cover it up, or use expulsion magic, you won't be able to hide the nature of her evil! "
Lin was puzzled by someone's relentless pursuit. He pointed to Finn's original position and asked, "Then how is that chair evil? Is the floor next to it also evil? You didn't use your magic properly, and the evil curtain at the back was also stained with a bit of red light. Who gave you the confidence to play such petty tricks in front of a Magician as a worshipper of a God? Do you think everyone is blind and can't see it? If you want to frame someone, you should at least use a genuine evil detection spell. Or do you have some scruples, or do you have some kind of tacit understanding with someone? "
It was only then that everyone realized that it was just as the magician said. Not only the chair, but the floor, the curtain, and even the surrounding utensils were all stained with red light. If that really was the result of an evil detection spell, could it be that the cup had killed someone, and the floor had killed someone? No matter what, no one would believe it.
At this time, some of the nobles who saw this for the first time thought of a very serious problem. Could it be that the judgement of the priests of justice from the three Churches of Holy Light could be faked? In the past, how many of the people who died under their righteous punishments were wronged?
As for those who had heard of this situation, they were exposed by a magician this time, and only then did they truly understand the tricks of these hypocrites.
The priest of justice, who was secretly accused of being a liar and whose deceit was exposed, shouted in exasperation, "Magician, this is your trick! Evil detection spells are never wrong. But despicable people will use illusions to slander righteousness. "
"Slander? I don't need slander. I even suspect that you don't even know how to use evil detection spells, so you use such lowly magic to arbitrarily judge the good and evil of others. So far, you've used this method to kill many people you don't like. "
"Nonsense!" Choosing to side with evil, the Monarch's position is self-evident. Watch me use evil detection to prove that you are not innocent. Next, I will kill you on the spot. "With that, the priest of justice raised his hand and was about to cast another spell.
Seeing this, Lin hurriedly said, "Wait, wait!"
Of course, the priest of justice didn't care and cast the spell. Someone was so scared that he closed his eyes and didn't know how to dodge.
It seemed like a coward's action, but the black tortoise robe on his body reacted spontaneously. It was a divine spell that could detect evil. After the lightning-like white light hit the shadow of a snake turtle that was covering a certain mage, it bounced back and spread in all directions.
Instantly, everyone present, no matter if they were nobles or servants, was hit by the genuine evil detection spell. Only Lin, who was hit by the spell, and Lich, who was behind Lin, were unharmed.
Lin, who still had his eyes closed, said in a trembling voice, "Tragedy has happened."
"… This is really tragic." Fen didn't know what to say and could only reply casually.
