Chapter 610

On the second day, the content of the inquiry meeting was overwhelmingly spread throughout the empire.

All newspapers across the empire published a photo on the front page in unison: Renn in the form of a half-giant with huge wings on his back, holding a warhammer, surrounded by thunder and lightning frenzy, one person against the entire Nether elders and hundreds of Nethers The wizard was not at a loss.

The Nether wizard in the photo has rich expressions, indifference, fear, and bewilderment, all of which are captured, like a world-famous painting, which is unforgettable.

The headlines of the newspapers are more eye-catching:

Nether wizard collective corruption!

Shock! Speaker Renn smashed the Nether elders with one blow in the Temple of Truth!

Who is the real leader of Nether Floating City?

...

Under the sensational headline, the content of the news was similar. It described in detail what happened at yesterday's inquiry meeting, emphasizing that Renn swore the blood oath of the three gods on the spot to prove his innocence. The vast majority of people praised this move, commenting on the selflessness of Speaker Rennes and his dedication to the overall interests of the empire.

The headlines on the front page were not enough. Various newspapers conducted a series of analysis, directly criticizing the corruption of Nether wizards.

There are also a few bold newspapers who have suggested that someone with a higher status is behind all this.

No one dared to insult the prestige of the holy soul wizard, and no newspaper mentioned the Duke of Redstone, not even making insinuations. But there are rumors everywhere in the empire. When people talk about it privately, they all think that these golden shields and supplies were taken by the Duke of Redstone to repair his Pallas floating city.

The inquiry will continue.

Chancellor of the Exchequer Ashley found out more fake accounts every day, the amount involved was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more Nether wizards were involved.

With the acquiescence of Consul Gnaeus, various newspapers in the empire have been reporting the progress of the inquiry in real time.

For several days, the eyes of the entire empire were focused on the Temple of Truth.

In the streets and alleys, in the company's home, everyone is talking about Nether, whether it is in public or in private.

On the fourth day of the inquiry meeting, Ashley and the financial accountant finally reviewed all the books, and initially concluded that the amount involved in the fake accounts reached more than 14 million, and nearly half of the legendary wizards of Nether had Participation shocked the whole empire.

Most of the more than 14 million gold shields and supplies were lost within half a month, and some of them were caused by earlier problems.

But in this period, no one has carefully distinguished.

Public opinion overwhelmingly blamed Nether wizards.

Many imperial councilors have expressed their opinions on various occasions, attacking Nether wizards and the elders. Some radical people of the empire even gathered outside the Temple of Truth to watch, and even inside Nether Floating City, some people gradually voiced their dissatisfaction.

However, at the questioning meeting, Nether's legendary wizards still did not cooperate, either they kept silent, or they didn't know what to ask.

On the fifth day, there were more and more people outside the Temple of Truth, and the opposition was extremely loud, with one wave after another, without stopping for a second.

Slogans attacking Nether wizards can be heard even in the temple.

Another day of questioning, with no results.

Gnaeus questioned intensively for five days, his mouth was dry, and he lost his patience long ago. Seeing that today's questioning time is coming to an end, he couldn't help but slapped the table angrily.

boom!

The stone table made of obsidian was snapped into two pieces, and the loud noise startled the members of the Empire and the reporters, who heard the consul standing up and angrily shouting: "I will ask again for the last time, where did the money and supplies go?" ?”

The Nether wizards in the audience were still silent.

"I can't let you speak, of course someone can." Gnaeus sneered, looked down at the stage and said in a deep voice: "If I don't get an answer today, I will report it to the Supreme Council and grant the supervisory team the right to cast spells and torture, so that The arbitrator intervened in the interrogation."

The faces of everyone in the hall changed.

The god of justice and order controls the judicial power of the empire. His teachings are the laws of the empire, which are just and strict, and have no tolerance for criminal suspects.

Prisoners fall into the hands of the Justice Church, and those judges and arbitrators always have a way to make them speak. Holy swordsmen have the ability to distinguish truth from lies, so there will be almost no wrong judgments. Once confirmed, they will be executed according to the law.

The civilians of the empire respect and fear the holy swordsman, and they never dare to have too much contact with the Justice Church.

However, Orienth is an empire ruled by wizards after all.

Wizards who believed in the goddess of magic had preferential treatment in the law. Unless the wizard committed an unforgivable felony and the evidence was solid, the holy swordsman of the Justice Church would not easily torture the wizard.

Wizards born in Floating Void City are even more superior, usually only Floating Void City can convict them.

Not to mention, Nether's legendary wizards.

They almost have legal immunity, and the general charges can be ignored. Only Master Ogulev can punish Nether's legendary wizards. Now that Master Ogulevi has disappeared, this power has been transferred to the Supreme Council with a higher status.

Let the Church of Justice torture and interrogate Nether legendary wizards, which has never happened in the history of the empire.

There is no punishment for wizards.

The Church of Justice, which has hated this for years, must have readily agreed to Gnaeus' request. As long as this unspoken rule is broken, the reputation of the God of Justice in the empire will surely increase, and his teachings will be thoroughly spread.

The twenty legendary holy swordsmen from the "Sword of Order" standing around the hall shook their airtight silver armors together, exuding a majestic aura.

Just at this time, there were fierce protests outside the temple.

"Arrest all Nether wizards!"

"Judge them!"

"The glory of Nether cannot be tarnished by shameless villains..."

"Down with corrupt wizards and restore the majesty of the law!"

The head-on threat of the Archon, the holy swordsmen of the Justice Church eager to fight, the protests of opponents, and the pressure of public opinion from countless people of the empire finally defeated the psychological defense of those guilty Nether wizards.

Their faces turned pale, and they couldn't help but look at Buoyangsi sitting in front frequently.

Among them were several Nether elders.

This movement made everyone present understand. Many people had such an expression on their faces that they had known this before. Director Buoyang was always the mastermind behind the falsification of Nether’s ledger this time, and the whereabouts of the more than 14 million gold shields and supplies. He must know best, maybe he did it himself.

Immediately, Gnaeus, members of the supervision team, imperial councilors and reporters focused their eyes on Elder Buoyangsi, expecting his response.

Buoyangsi, however, sat motionless.

There was no change in expression on his face, his eyes drooped like a sculpture.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense, and after half a minute of silence, Gnaeus asked in a deep voice, "Elder Buoyangsi, do you have anything to say?"

"No." Buoyangsi replied quietly.

"very good."

Gnaeus nodded, looked at Renn next to him, and said: "I will truthfully report the fake accounts to the Supreme Council, and ask the arbitrator to intervene in the interrogation. I will also make a proposal to the Supreme Council in the name of the supervision team. In view of A number of Nether elders have violated the laws of the empire, and are no longer suitable for managing the floating city, depriving the Nether elders of their management rights in Nether."

Before the words fell, there was an uproar in the hall.

Except for Ren and the other three supervisory representatives of the Modu faction, everyone else was shocked.

All the Nether wizards suddenly changed color.

Buaoyang raised his head abruptly, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he didn't understand why things had developed to this point.

Those Elders Nether who were not involved in false accounts couldn't sit still anymore, Elder Kronomanser stood up quickly and said loudly: "Your Excellency, please think twice!"

Halawa also stood up to speak out, trying to block Gnaeus's idea.

Gnaeus ignored them and said in a loud voice, "This concludes today's questioning meeting. The meeting is adjourned."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Ren also stood up on the high platform, glanced at the Nether wizard who was in a daze below the stage, and paused for a while on the two elders, Kronomanser and Harava, before opening the portal and leaving.

Within a quarter of an hour, the news that the Archon would deprive the Netherian elders of their power spread throughout Northril.

Within half an hour, the upper echelons of the empire received the news.

The news spread wildly.

And Ren, who is the real leader of all this, has returned to Viola's exquisite manor. Two days ago, he moved out of the Fissingpuffen Hotel, took the Ultramarines to stay, and enjoyed the pleasure of fish and water every night, so happy.

On the first day of the inquiry meeting, Viola communicated with the long-haired lady to remove the Transcendent from the church, and quickly got her consent.

Then the Ultramarines moved into the manor.

The three legendary extraordinary men and guards originally wanted to see Viola's jokes, but when they saw the Ultramarines and Ren appeared, they withdrew without saying a word. Ren used the eyes of the soul to screen dozens of servants in the manor, and cleared out a few malicious eyeliners.

Over the years, Viola has enjoyed a very high reputation in Northriel.

The world-renowned beauty, prominent background and huge wealth, as well as the promotion of gramophones and cameras, made Viola famous in the imperial capital and had countless admirers.

If it was normal, these things that happened around her would definitely attract the attention of many people.

But right now the attention is on the inquiry.

Except for some caring people and stakeholders, few people have noticed the power struggle of the Good Good Church and the gossip about Ryan and Viola.

On the terrace of the manor, Ren was having a starlight dinner with Viola.

After being nourished for several days, Viola's beautiful face was radiant, and when she looked at Ren, her eyes were full of tenderness, like a little woman immersed in happiness.

Suddenly, she took out a messenger gem with the symbol of the Good Good Church, which was shining slightly.

"A message from Lady Eliza."

Viola explained softly, injecting soul power into the gem to receive the content inside, and then frowned slightly.

Ren noticed her abnormality, "What's wrong?"

"Mrs. Elisa invited us to her manor to participate in the music salon." Viola replied.
