Ten days later, the City of Athens and the Sacred Mountain were still shrouded in a layer of gloomy rain. However, the incident at the Sacred Mountain and the Sacred Mountain finally received a fair trial!
There were two Clergymen from the previous generation and two Clergymen from the current generation. A total of four Clergymen were in charge of supervising the Magistrates. They were trying to determine if the Magistrates were involved in any personal conflicts or conflicts of power when they were carrying out their sentences!
Soon, the five Magistrates who were in cahoots with Dulanc were investigated. The other Magistrates who had cast the Black Stone were not found guilty, but they were still punished. They were required to be objective when it came to identifying the culprit!
Dulanc's corpse was found the day before yesterday. Even though it had turned into a smelly corpse, Dulanc was still tied to the bench. The other five Magistrates were standing behind him with pale faces!
Iza was sitting on the other bench. She was also being interrogated by the four Clergymen. While she was being interrogated, she would be stripped of her freedom and her position temporarily. In the Clergymen's Court, Iza only had one identity. She was the culprit behind the conspiracy. Once she was found guilty, her soul would be destroyed!
Most people would die after being sentenced to death. However, since she was the closest person to the Spell of Resurrection, and had come back to life from the leaf coffin, a simple sentence of death would not have any effect on her. Her soul would have to be destroyed, leaving not a single trace of it behind. Even the most powerful Evil Spells would not be able to revive her. She would not even be able to become a living dead or an undead. Not a single trace of her soul would be left in this world!
"The five Magistrates have admitted their guilt, but they claimed that Iza was the mastermind. I hope the Clergymen can understand this. They assumed that Iza was the mastermind because Dulanc told them. It's obvious that Dulanc was the culprit. He was using Iza's reputation to confuse his colleagues. He would do anything to achieve his goal. Iza was still asleep in the leaf coffin at the time. I believe she would have stopped Dulanc if she was still alive, "the lawyer who defended Iza said.
"That's right, Iza is innocent. Dulanc is the real devil. Even though he's dead, he still has to be punished!" someone in the jury voiced his opinion.
Song Qiming sat on the old priest's seat. He was a little agitated because he believed that Iza was behind all of this. Even though Dulanc was greedy and ambitious, he did not have the ability to set up such a huge trap.
The scariest thing about Iza was that even though she was dead, she had already paved a path for many years to come. Instead of saying that she had died of an illness, it was more like she had purposely put herself into a deep sleep, just so she could find the Soul of the Parthenon Temple!
The investigation also showed that Iza didn't really die back then. She kept her last trace of life and only woke up today.
"Iza, what do you have to say?" Mochizuki Hachihebi questioned.
The Mochizuki Hachikochi was from the Mochizuki Clan in Japan. The Shuangshou Pavilion was the best place for the Cleric to deal with criminals. No prison was better at eliminating the souls of evil Mages than the Shuangshou Pavilion.
"I didn't know anything about it. If the four Clerics decide that I'm guilty today, I won't have any objections, as I'm indeed the cause of it all. However, I hope that the four Clerics will give me a chance to make up for it. If the four Clerics decide that I'm not guilty, I'll step down from my position and become a Saintess who travels around the world, to do more for the Parthenon Temple and the people who are still suffering … as a Goddess, I've failed to guide my believers well. I'm willing to bear the consequences, "Iza lowered her gaze. Her sincere eyes had an irresistible flicker.
"Old Cleric Song Qiming believes that if you aren't convicted, you will continue to harm Saintess Xinxia, who has the Soul of the Parthenon Temple," Mochizuki Hachihebi said.
"I can swear with the Dark Oath that I won't do anything to harm her, directly or indirectly. I'm willing to give the Dark Oath to Cleric Song Qiming. If there's any reaction from the Dark Oath, I'll accept the Dark Oath and the four Clerics' additional sentence," Iza said.
"Iza would never do such a thing, there's no need for the Dark Oath!" someone blurted out in dissatisfaction.
Iza smiled and said, "The verdict must be fair. Everyone has darkness in their heart, and I believe I'm no exception. I'm willing to sign the Dark Oath, and it will never be canceled."
The four Clerics lowered their heads and discussed among themselves.
Song Qiming insisted that Iza was guilty, but the other Clerics wanted more evidence.
However, did Iza leave any evidence behind?
Iza had been lying in the leaf coffin the whole time. It was impossible for her to leave any evidence behind. Who could possibly find evidence from a dead person?
Therefore, even though Song Qiming tried to argue, he knew it was difficult to convict a person who had just woken up from the brink of death. He would push all the blame onto Dulanc, Méjorat, and the other five Magistrates. On top of that, Panijia, Shawshank, and the Lanjin Temple Master would also bear the brunt of the blame …
It was most likely Iza's brilliance. Even though she was going to die after seizing power, she still had a perfect backup plan.
…
In the end, Song Qiming did not vote guilty. In Iza's case, only two votes were needed to convict Iza. However, Song Qiming knew that the other three Clerics would not cast any votes. His vote was meaningless.
The trial of Iza's case came to an end. It was soon time for Mofan's trial.
Mofan had disregarded the authorities and ordered the Black Totem Snake to create chaos on the Parthenon Temple, killing many Adjudicators, Mages of Faith, and Holy Court Mages …
Mofan's trial was not open to the public. The four Clerics were not only judging Mofan's actions, but also judging Mofan's Demon Element.
Once Mofan was found guilty, Mofan would still be punished.
Once Mofan's Demon Element was deemed as evil, the heretics would treat Mofan as a heretic. They would either strip him of his Demon Element, or execute him on the spot.
Under normal circumstances, Song Qiming would definitely vote Iza guilty, even if she was not guilty. However, he strongly believed that his vote had its purpose …
However, for the sake of Mofan and the Black Totem Snake, he had no choice but to accept Iza's suggestion.
Since Song Qiming had spared her life, she would ask the other Cleric to spare Mofan and the Black Totem Snake.
Mofan and the Black Totem Snake had indeed killed a lot of people. Regardless of the reason, the sacred mountain was still covered in blood. Even though Mofan could ignore the verdict, it also implied that Mofan would be rejected by every city in the world.
Mofan had come first in the World College Tournament, and his Demon Element was stronger than the demon creatures. He would be a trump card against the Black Vatican and the kingdom of demon creatures in the future. Song Qiming hoped that Iza would go to Hell, but he would not allow Iza to drag Mofan down with her!
Iza's henchmen would be executed after the verdict. However, the conflict with Iza had yet to come to an end. Song Qiming believed that Mofan would surely send Iza to Hell when he grew stronger!
As such, Mofan was found not guilty.
As for the Demon Element, not many people knew the demon was Mofan. Even Iza was not sure if it was Mofan himself.
The Magic Associations of the Five Continents would have to discuss the heresy. It was going to be a long debate, so the heresy would not affect Mo Fan for another year or two.
However, the Heresy Judgment Court and the Magic Associations of the Five Continents still banned Mofan from using the Demon Element before the verdict was out. If Mofan obeyed the ban, he would still be free to use the Demon Element until the verdict was out.
Iza was found not guilty. Mofan was safe too. His identity was still recognized internationally. His Demon Element would not be exposed to the public. He would still be the winner of the World College Tournament. Even the Heresy Judgment Court, the Magic Associations of the Five Continents, the Citadel of Athens, and the Parthenon Temple would no longer welcome him.
As a matter of fact, even if Mofan was found guilty, the Holy Judgment Court and the Heresy Judgment Court would still have a headache.
Were they going to punish Mofan with the Dark Judgment?
This guy seemed to have killed Hayla not long ago. Not many organizations would be able to do anything to him if they were to fall out with him.
The Holy Judgment Court would not ask for trouble. After all, the slap that Mofan had given them was still burning. They had no idea how to get rid of the swelling.
…
Mofan only learned today that there was a teleportation formation on the Parthenon Temple's Sacred Mountain.
In order to get rid of the plague as soon as possible, the government of Athens did not dare to let Mofan leave by plane. They had to escort him to the teleportation formation under the supervision of Hall Master Hai Long. They were willing to spend a huge amount of resources just to send Mofan back to their country!
Mofan was furious, but he had no choice but to agree to it, considering it was a lot faster than taking a plane.
"Xinxia, where's your luggage?" Mofan asked when he saw Xinxia walking toward him.
Xinxia did not bring her luggage. Today was the day they were going to leave together. From today onward, no one was going to stop him from being with Xinxia!
"Brother Mofan, I thought about it for a long time last night … I want to stay," Xinxia said with her head lowered. She was worried that Mofan would be angry. She did not know what to say.
Mofan looked at her. He was not angry, but he was quite surprised.
"Why? This place is full of schemes and killings. Why do you still want to stay here?" Mofan asked.
Hai Long immediately glared at Mofan, as if to say, Kid, are you ignoring my presence?
"Is it because of that b * * ch Iza? Are you afraid that if the only Saintess leaves, she'll still be a Goddess in a year or two? (sigh) Who cares if the Parthenon Temple is dead or alive? "Mofan sighed.
Xinxia shook her head. She was struggling to speak.
