“He's a victim of the Church, created by the Pope. ”

“ ……. ”

“You said it. I understand what you meant by that. I heard from the Honorary Cardinal that a guy named Jen actually lived a good life. Growing up in an orphanage run by a temple, they were templed without even knowing it, and most of their childhood and adolescence were in harsh training... Life wasn't easy. There was no will, actually. It was a group called the Templers that created the monster called Jen. You can see that the Pope participated in doing nothing. ”

“How he grew up can't justify his crimes, Cannon. ”

“You think I don't know that? It just makes sense. It's because you haven't seen the Cardinal appeal with tears. Alex. I'm sure I'm not the only one shaken... Actually, it was Cardinal Templar Simon and John who manipulated Templar Jen. ”

“Templar Simon? Cardinal John?”

“Yes. Those bastards were swinging Templar Jen. Templar Jens isn't wrong about being a victim either. ”

“Do you have any proof that Templar Simon and John the son of a bitch wielded Templar Jen? Besides, didn't the Cardinal of Honor's note say he might be wrong at the time of the kidnapping? The note the Shadow Hero submitted as proof. The evidence is too clear. Cannon, this isn't worth thinking about. I don't care what the conspiracy was in the temples... and what the backstory was, of course, but I don't think the jury can tell me what to do, but at least I can make a reasonable decision. ”

At the end of this incident, the Honorary Cardinal who struggled to uncover Templars' conspiracy was kidnapped.

As I turned my gaze, the Preserved Hall of Fame began to shine into view, and the dense room came into view.

On the table was a mess, and there were shredded papers and rubbish lying around on the floor.

Most of the jury is swallowing saliva at the scene of the atrocity. It's like everything that's happened in this field is being reproduced alive.

Maybe it's because the silence has gotten longer. A successor to the Management Committee opened his mouth.

“This was the last place before the Honorable Cardinal was abducted. The jury would like you to be aware of and make a judgment on field conservation. ”

“How are the investigators judging? ”

“Field investigators believe that Cardinal Honor did not resist much. After the argument, there was a short struggle, and through the window you're looking at.... ”

“Where were the paladins and guards at the temple? ”

“It was investigated that the paladins bought from Cardinal John were on duty. ”

“Should I consider this a premeditated abduction? ”

“Judgment is yours. Our validators are here to help you make the right decision. ”

You're right. In that sense, you can assume that your actions now don't qualify as field inspectors. Cannon speaks again.

“Your successor is having a different conversation with you. ”

“ ……. ”

“It's a long life in the world, by the way. Alex, who knew you'd be working for the Continental Protection Council? ”

“He fixed my mind. Cannon. Even in this trashy life, I thought I wanted something to help the Honorary Cardinal... But how can I just stand by and let this happen? Trial's a luxury to him. We need to rip off his limbs right now. ”

“Keep your voice down. Alex, you're freaking out. You know you can't say that in front of a jury. ”

“You're the ones who say it. I keep my mouth shut somewhere else. Don't worry.”

“ ……. ”

“You'd better eat your heart out in the next scene. ”

“ ……. ”

“Mr. Jung-soo? ”

“Yes, Alex. ”

“I think we should move on to the next site. ”

“Yes, sir. C-can we go directly to it? ”

“Yes. Please escort the jury to Warp Gate and advise them to proceed directly to the Horse Forest. We will depart shortly after 10 minutes. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

“You look a little bit like a board member. Alex.”

“Shut up, Cannon. ”

“What do you have to do with a man named Essence? ”

“It's not a relationship. ”

“Aigoo, I didn't recognize the look in each other's eyes to say it wasn't a relationship. Is it okay for the board to have an affair? ”

“Shut up, Cannon. I'm not taking your shit. ”

Whether he had an idea or not, it was probably his way to get over this, but it wasn't very nice.

It didn't take long for Cannon to annoy me, of course, when he kept his mouth shut, seeing Cannon chattering on my side.

Because there was a shocking sight waiting for him.

“Site number two is where the Honorable Cardinal stayed for about 18 days. We're narrow inside, so we'll let you in, two at a time. ”

It would be fitting to say that you have lost your words.

A hut halfway underground, covered in dirt and dirt.

I wonder if the air is flowing properly. Not only does it not breathe well, but it also frowns on itself because of the smell.

A place I can't believe people can live in. I can't believe I survived 18 days in a place like this. Ordinary people do this, too. The Honorable Cardinal must be mistaken.

I've already been there once, but it was still a place that made me lose my words.

‘The Son of Light... lived in a place like this? ’

It shouldn't be too hard for him to keep his mouth shut.

It started with religious juries.

“Huff... huff... Benigore.”

“Your Eminence... ”

There are voices of tears and voices of God. Tears are easily transmitted. It's worth the emotional upheaval considering the collapse of his lungs in a place like this.

“The rangers believe that the Cardinal of Honor has been out twice since he entered this place. ”

“Did you continue to live in this cramped space except for two outings? ”

“Yes, your nutrition and health have worsened a lot in the two weeks you have been here. I believe that the sequelae of the body is also the result of my life here. It's been a long time, and most of all, the rain keeps coming in and there aren't many traces left in the lungs, but the Honorable Cardinal is here... Yes. Multiple assaults.... ”

“This is where the evidence from the Republican military was found. ”

“Yes.”

“I can't say for sure, but I suspect there's been a lot of abuse here. Assault, of course... It must have been a very difficult time mentally. What's unusual is that you've been to a village of firefighters not far from here. After refining the leather yourself, it was revealed that you exchanged the leather and living goods. ”

Then you hear loud noises.

“Why didn't they tell the weaponry? ”

“Because you were worried. in case you get mad at them. Templar gen would have left them all dead. ”

“In fact, we noticed that you left immediately afterwards. And it was immediately after that that that we found traces of divinity. ”

“I think you've been assaulted in retaliation for going to the Coin People's Village. ”

“I think so, too. ”

“How many times have you used divine magic...? ”

“I can't tell you exactly how many times, but many.... ”

“If a person with that much divine power could use that much divine magic... it would be a serious situation. ”

“Yes.”

“Since you actually gave up on death... ”

“Where were the living goods exchanged? ”

“The Honorable Cardinal made a meal for Templar Jen... ”

“Why…. ”

“How do we know what he wants? But... I daresay you may have pitied him. Since you've been hiding in this narrow space for more than a million hours... a lot of stories may have come and gone. It may have taken some time for the Cardinal to understand, sympathize and empathize with him. He was a criminal who hurt himself, hurt himself, insulted and humiliated himself, but the Son of Light would have loved him nonetheless. Because that's who he is. ”

“ ……. ”

“Son of light.... ”

“Phew... ”

“Perhaps that's why the Son of Light is holding on to him now. The Son of Light forgave him. No, he wants to forgive me. You're so stupid... You're so naive and kind. In spite of the exhaustive violence... ”

“ ……. ”

“What do you think? That's what the jury thinks. ”

“I'm not wrong. Cannon.”

“ ……. ”

“In fact, the next scene... after going into the Republics, your commitment to that son of a bitch remains. Living a life stained with violence every night... The Honorable Cardinal pitied him. Rise like the dawn, prepare a meal for that criminal…. ”

“Son of a bitch.”

“But coming back was just violence. ”

“ ……. ”

“The price for that commitment was brute force. Every day, every day, he treated the son of light like a slave in the black market. He's already trampled on a man who can't even move properly. It doesn't matter if he was used by Templar Simon or if he was lied to by Cardinal Johann. He's evil, Cannon. You're the devil who cheats people, makes them feel sorry for themselves, and then violently responds to grace. Even if the Honorable Cardinal forgives him, we can't forgive him. ”

“The first trial is over now... ”

“I don't know if any more trials mean anything. So... what about you? George?"

“Actually... ”

“Yes.”

“There's an organization that's been asked to raise their hand on innocence. ”

“What?"

“Take it easy, Alex. I tried to find out who they were, but it didn't work. I kept my mouth shut because I didn't want to cause trouble, but my eyes grew big. There's a good chance it's the Templar or Cardinal Johann. I didn't know what they wanted.... ”

“You. That's why you received the money... ”

“I didn't answer. I might have received it before... but how could I betray him? He deserves to be treated and respected. I don't think the Son of Light is going to save the continent because he's trapped in a collapsing lung like this. Didn't he help you every time? ”

“ ……. ”

“We were always together in the crisis of the continent, and we watched his lines and his epics. ”

“ ……. ”

“Do you remember the voice of the blue shield being dragged away and screaming? He's right. We have to do what we can. That demon will pay for what he's done. ”

I always thought of him as a mindless one, but sometimes George says that. Words that nod by themselves.

Most of the jury nods in front of the brutal scene.

“I'll kill you... ”

“Bastard. ”

“Son of a bitch. ”

It was the same word.
