Chapter 19 Doctrine trial(2)

Translator: BaeBae Editor: BaeBae

Sina Solbein entered the courtroom.

The court room walls were tilted slightly inwards. This symbolized the emperor looking down from above.

The soaring walls reached an enormous height before connecting at the top. The height of the ceiling signified the church’s authority and power.

When the defendant sat on their seat, it was said if they snapped their head upwards, a ray of light through a small gap at the tip of the roof could be seen. This signified the emperor’s compassion.

‘However, to this day, not a single defendant had yet seen this.’

Anyone who walked into the courtroom as a defendant was prohibited from lifting their head.

Likewise, Sina had her head down towards the ground as she walked in.

Unlike a hearing, a trial was conducted whenever the case involved any heresy. A trial was stricter and harsher therefore, it was feared amongst all defendants.

Anticipating how her actions would be reflected, Sina gave a good thought then carefully opened her mouth.

“Bishop nim.”

“Shut your mouth!”

Before she had a chance to speak, she was rained down upon by the bishop’s words.

“Disgusting!. You reek of heresy!”

“Sacrilegious! You dare try to justify yourself, in my presence? In my court trial? Are you questioning my judgement?”

“As an agent of the emperor, this blasphemy cannot be ignored.”

Dumbfounded at the situation, Sina felt as if she was back in her days at the holy city of Torra. When she repeatedly protested against a fanatical priest’s sophistry.

But this situation wasn’t the same as back then. If she opened her mouth again, the situation would not be salvageable.

The Gray tower.

It attracted many beasts to the surrounding area and sometimes changed them into creatures.

The Gray tower was where mana randomly gathered. The probability of encountering a dangerous beast increased as you headed towards it.

Juan didn’t have thoughts of going there right away. For now, his destination was the capital.
