Part 1
--------
The Tower of Justice was the most famous building in the Court of Judgment.
It was 927 meters tall, the shape of the tower resembling an inverted water droplet.
Although it was over a hundred stories high, only the topmost spire of the tower was used as a "courtroom". The interiors of the remaining tower columns were all hollow.
This design symbolized the supremacy of the court, above everything else. After felony criminals were judged here, if more than half of the judges voted in favor, the barrier under the prisoner's feet would be directly opened.
At that time, the prisoner would fall from the cloud-piercing tower top, along the internal passage of the tower, directly losing weight and falling all the way down to the bottom of the tower, into that legendary Stillwater Prison.
Yes, the Tower of Justice was built directly above the most famous Stillwater Prison of the Court of Judgment.
The entire process was like being cast from heaven into hell.
So the Tower of Justice was also often called the Tower of Exile by the locals.
Although ordinary citizens of the Court of Judgment couldn't approach the Tower of Justice, let alone have the qualifications to attend the trial as jurors, they could still watch the entire process through the official magic projection.
For the people of the Court of Judgment, they basically wouldn't miss any judgment that could be held in the Tower of Justice.
After all, those who could be judged here were definitely not small fry. Each and every one of them was an unforgivable villain who had committed various heinous crimes.
Watching such thoroughly wicked human scum being thrown into Stillwater Prison.
It was both a thrill and a ceremony that made them feel proud.
And today.
All the people of the Court of Judgment were very excited.
The youth had nothing on him.
If they had to say, the citizens could see a kind of spider web-like thin thread surrounding the youth's body, trapping and binding him in place if they looked carefully.
Regarding this, one of the jurors in the court, also the biggest contributor to capturing the Demon King, the female knight captain Lana, gave an explanation to the citizens.
Only to see Lana hold up a flag.
That was precisely the Hero's relic that belonged to the Crown Prince, the Banner of Command.
Ordinary citizens of course didn't recognize it.
But after the explanation, they understood that those thin threads were emitted from this flag. It was a spiritual thread more powerful than physical restraint.
Now this Demon King had already submitted mentally. Every thought of the youth would be exposed through the thin threads. Any wicked ideas would have nowhere to hide. Once there was a thought of resistance, Lana, as the Judgment Knight Captain, would subdue him at the first moment.
The citizens of the Court of Judgment sighed in admiration at the power of that flag and the female knight captain, but at the same time, they were puzzled. How did the Crown Prince's holy item appear with Lord Danye?
And the subsequent trial cleared up the doubts of the citizens one by one.
"Demon King."
"Do you plead guilty?" A solemn and heavy voice resounded in the courtroom at the top of the tower.
Only to see a grand justice wearing a black robe and a tall hat, dressed neatly, sitting on a high-backed chair.
He and the other eleven judges, as if in a round table meeting, formed a circle, looking down from above at the youth in the position of the "defendant" below.
The grand justice opened a book of testimonies, which listed the various evidence of crimes belonging to this young Demon King.
"You and your subordinates, taking advantage of the imperial envoy's diplomatic visit to Ilinor, turned what should have been a national celebration banquet into a bloody massacre."
"According to statistics, a total of 793 innocent people attending the banquet, from the royal family and nobles of Ilinor to the king, were deprived of their lives by you and died tragically on the spot."
