The great Archangel, who had ensured a thousand years of peace for the human world, had eliminated an Undead Emperor as soon as he returned to the Sacred City. He had even forced Zhan Kong to show himself in disgusting ways, forcing Zhan Kong and Qin Yu 'er to die in this world.
Archangel Michael …
Mofan strongly suspected that Charlie had been ordered by Michael to come up with such a sinister plan to force him to become an evil god, forcing him to show himself under the spotlight of the Sacred City.
If Sharjah had not taught him the oath in the language of the gods and suggested he walk right into the trap to buy himself some time, the army of the Sacred City would have taken control of the people around him on the second day after he became an evil god. He would not even have the right to live in this world, just like Zhan Kong.
Michael was capable of doing anything. Qin Yu 'er was the best example.
Mofan could not allow himself to be in a passive position, especially when the army of the Sacred City was using the excuse of an investigation as an excuse to harm others.
…
Mofan changed into a clean shirt.
His handsomeness could always make a very ordinary shirt look luxurious and extraordinary.
Today was the day of the trial. Mofan had no idea how far the trial had progressed. The Sacred City was behind everything. The Sacred City had already taken control of the public opinion. Sharjah had also lost her authority. Mofan was basically a piece of meat on a chopping board.
Mofan went up to the Sacred Hall and stood in the center, like a colorful sparrow being evaluated in a huge, luxurious birdcage. Everyone could see him, and he would be facing the Clergymen who were trying the case.
The Clergymen were all from the Holy Judgment Court.
Normally, the Clergymen could decide the crimes of the accused. Most criminals would be punished by the Clergymen, but Mofan was well aware that the Clergymen from the Holy Judgment Court were only decorations. The ones who could decide whether he was going to be acquitted or sent to the Dark Abyss were the ones with the Black and White Stone.
"Leng Ling Ling, the cases that you have listed on behalf of the Hunter Union aren't enough to prove Mofan's character. Everyone knows that Hunters are only after profits. Even if they accept dangerous missions, they are still after the rewards. Therefore, the Drowning Curse might have helped many countries with their problems, but we can only assume that Mofan did it for the rewards, not for charity," Remil, who was the High Clergyman, said.
"What about the plague in Croatia? We didn't accept any rewards," Ling said.
"It was caused by the Red Demon's clone. We can assume that Mofan was the one who put on the show," Remil said.
"We need evidence to prove that he's guilty. If we can't prove that Mofan was the one who put on the show, then it's not him," Ling Ling said.
"We don't have any evidence, so we won't talk about it. Alright, Leng Ling Ling, we're trying the case of the Patrolling Angel Charlie's murder today. According to our investigation, you were present at the scene of the murder, so we won't accept any evidence from your investigation, "Remil said.
"The entire Shuangshou Pavilion was destroyed by Charlie. Not a single person survived. I was the only one who witnessed it. If I can't be the witness, who is going to testify?" Ling Ling asked in return.
"We've investigated it. The Shuangshou Pavilion was indeed destroyed by Charlie's magic, but according to the information from the white parrots a few days before Charlie's death, the Red Demon had taken over the Shuangshou Pavilion, and everyone there had turned into the Red Demon's parasites. If the plague in Croatia was the result of the Red Demon's act, then the Shuangshou Pavilion could also be the result of Mofan's act. Charlie must have realized that the Shuangshou Pavilion was about to fall into his hands, so he destroyed it to prevent the demons from escaping into society," Remil explained.
Ling Ling took a deep breath. She was trying her best to keep her anger from exploding in front of the Sacred Hall.
The Sacred Hall was utterly shameless.
They were only stating the version of events that they wanted. They did not care about any clues or evidence.
Ling Ling had already found the Ancient Capital, Beijiang, the Magic City, Egypt, the Alps, the Saint Aorus Institute … there were over a thousand witnesses in total. They claimed that Mofan had saved the lives of the people and the cities many times. Most of the witnesses were representatives of those communities. They were trying to prove to the Sacred City that not only did Mofan's Demon Element not pose any threat to them, he had actually helped a lot of people with it.
The Sacred City did not seem to care about the testimonies of the witnesses, even after a month of recording and collecting evidence.
In the end, they used Mofan's atrocities in Dubai as the reason to overturn everything that Mofan had done.
They even claimed that Mofan had entered the Dark Plane to prove that Mofan's soul had been corrupted by the dark creatures since then …
It was true that Mofan had killed a lot of people at the Magus Tower in Dubai. Those people were basically Su Lu's lackeys, and they were also members of the Magic Association. His violent actions had rendered Mofan's witnesses useless.
"Even if Mofan has all kinds of reasons, the Sacred City should be responsible for those who violated the Magic Convention, instead of you, Mofan. We won't even have the chance to investigate the truth."
"Let's take you, Mofan, as an example. If the Sacred City executed you as soon as we saw you, you wouldn't even have the chance to stand here. We have to know the truth, we have to be fair. You should also give those people a chance to stand here and receive your judgment. You shouldn't execute them right away! "
"Don't you agree, Priest Zu?"
Archangel Remil purposely looked at Priest Zu Huanyao.
Zu Huanyao was the Priest representing China. He had not said a word since the start of the trial.
Ling Ling was extremely annoyed. Zu Huanyao was like a piece of trash. He was just a lackey of the Sacred City. He had not done anything to benefit Mofan so far.
"I don't agree with you," Zu Huanyao suddenly spoke up.
Archangel Remil was confused, but he still made an inviting gesture for Zu Huanyao to continue.
"Isn't Archangel Sharjah in charge of the incident in Dubai? Mofan and Sharjah attended the meeting in Dubai as the students of Feng Zhoulong, the president of China's Magic Research Union. Feng Zhoulong and the other Magic Associations were brutally murdered. Sharjah, who was still a Patrolling Angel, was also in danger. Shouldn't we ask Archangel Sharjah to clarify the matter?" Zu Huanyao said.
"Archangel Sharjah has other matters to attend to. She won't be able to attend the court for the time being," Remil said.
"It doesn't matter if Sharjah can attend the court or not. However, we can understand what happened in Dubai as Mofan was defending the Sacred City by killing everyone," Zu Huanyao said.
"How is that defending the Sacred City!?"
"He killed the person that harmed Sharjah. He was protecting the Patrolling Angel. Isn't protecting the Patrolling Angel the same as defending the Sacred City? If the Patrolling Angel can't represent the Sacred City, the conflict between Mofan and the Patrolling Angel Sariel will have nothing to do with the Sacred City. Mofan didn't declare war on the Sacred City, either. We can hand the case over to the Asia Magic Association, "Zu Huanyao said calmly.
Remiel and the other High Priests were stunned when they heard this.
Zu Huanyao had been silent for a long time. How did he turn the situation around as soon as he spoke?
Hand the case over to the Asia Magic Association?
Are you kidding me? The Asia Magic Association was the only Magic Association that did not support Mofan's trial. If they handed Mofan over to them, he would be acquitted of all charges!
It turned out that Zu Huanyao had been waiting all along!
"The Patrolling Angel represents the Sacred City. There's no way Mofan will be handed over to the Magic Association, "Remil said firmly.
"In that case, Mofan's atrocities in Dubai are not valid either. Mofan's Demon Element is still under control. Besides, a thousand people have already sworn to the Sacred City that Mofan is a righteous and kind man."
"If a righteous and kind man uses a Forbidden Spell that he can control, he won't be considered the ultimate victim. It can only be considered an abuse of the Forbidden Spell," Zu Huanyao explained the logic skillfully.
The Clerics, Stewards, and the people of the Sacred Hall fell silent after hearing his words.
Who would have thought the Cleric representing Asia and China would side with Mofan all of a sudden? His words were so reasonable that no one could refute them!
Ling Ling looked at Zu Huanyao in astonishment.
So the guy was on their side!
