The citizens of the Court of Judgment, who had just had a bit of a change in attitude towards Reji due to the reversal in Ilinor, were now shocked again after hearing the grand justice's words.
They were filled with righteous indignation for the kind Seventh Prince.
Even though Syndicate was full of villains, the Seventh Prince still valued them. In order to save the hostages, he jumped into the trap. What great righteousness.
On the contrary, that young criminal who called himself the "Demon King" was simply too despicable and shameless, and extremely evil. Just what kind of evil magic could turn people into monsters?
Was all this true?
The eyes of the citizens of the Court of Judgment were on the youth in the center.
"I admit it."
Reji continued to nod.
Of course, his words had a second half.
"However, the ruins were not fabricated. Indeed, many adventurers obtained treasures from them. Only those who were greedy but lacked the strength would be buried in the ruins due to their own greed, such as the kind Seventh Prince you mentioned."
The image of the magic projection changed again.
Like before, this time it was the interior of the underground city ruins in Syndicate.
From the image, one could see that there were indeed many dangerous monsters roaming in the ruins. But beside these monsters, there were also glowing treasure chests, among which there was no lack of precious magic scrolls, potions, items, and even priceless enchanted weapons.
Under such light and shadow, even the Second Prince was stunned for a moment. Anything taken out of this underground city would probably be worth a fortune.
And although the ordinary citizens didn't understand magic, the golden treasure chests were the best visual impact. They all swallowed their saliva one by one.
Immediately after, the kind and upright Seventh Prince appeared. Only to see that he didn't go to rescue the so-called hostages in the ruins. On the contrary, because there were many traps in the underground city, the Seventh Prince even captured civilians and used these flesh and blood to help him scout the way and remove the traps.
This ugly appearance and disregard for human life was completely opposite to the propaganda, once again causing an uproar among the citizens of the Court of Judgment.
"LANA!!"
The Second Prince also came back to his senses and hurriedly returned from his yearning for the treasures in the ruins to reality. This time he was really angry, losing his temper at his female attendant for the first time.
Not only because Reji exposed the truth about Syndicate. Read the latest on m_v-l'e|-novelhall.net
What Danye was more afraid of was that later, if Reji also exposed the truth about the "mutation" of those imperial soldiers, it would be troublesome.
After all, he was the one behind that matter.
"Give me that flag!"
Danye hurriedly wanted to use the Banner of Command to cut off Reji's mental influence, but found that this flag didn't listen to him at all.
The Second Prince, who was both embarrassed and angry at the moment, had no choice but to hand the flag back to Lana.
"Hurry up! Cut it off!"
Under the Second Prince's impatient order, Lana fiddled with the flag a few times, and finally the image disappeared.
Although Danye really wanted to question Lana about this, didn't she say she had control over the Demon King? How could she still let the other party take advantage of loopholes frequently? But he still endured it and didn't choose to lose his temper here.
One reason was that the current trial was still being projected to the entire Court of Judgment. It was a very important part of his personal image. He couldn't lose his composure.
Secondly, now it seemed that the relic could indeed only be used by Lana. The Second Prince also understood this point. After all, Lana herself was a relic, or rather, she was "created" by him using a relic.
With no time to reprimand Lana any further, the Second Prince hurriedly gave a signal with his eyes to the judges above, telling them not to read out the crimes anymore. Quickly speed up and directly exile that Demon King. Let that damn youth directly fall into Stillwater Prison!
After receiving the Second Prince's instructions, the grand justice hurriedly obeyed. It seemed that this "Tower of Justice" was not so just after all.
"Demon King, in addition to this, there are also many other crimes such as robbing the Governor, bribing the nobles of Stoneheim City, killing the Prefect, rebelling against the Upper Senate, murdering the Crown Prince, etc."
This was not their doing at all.
It was like the action of that malicious condensed blood moon phantom from before.
As if saying...
Don't come over!
Absolutely don't let that guy in!!
We don't want to get involved!!
In an instant, the huge circular courtroom was silent as a grave.
Everyone fell silent.
In confusion.
This deathly stillness was only broken by a young man's voice.
"Since everyone has stopped talking, let me say a few words."
"Don't worry, just two sentences."
Reji stretched his body. Those thin threads that seemed to be entangling and binding him all vanished into nothingness. Then he waved his hand, and the three Hero's relics immediately revolved around his body.
Yes, three.
The Banner of Command, the Sword of Oath, and... Lana.
This knight captain who was utilized and synthesized through the "human refinement" system.
Immediately after, a red glow flashed in Reji's eyes.
That kind of red glow, people had seen it before.
It was precisely that blood moon just now.
But before it was a phantom, but this time, it was condensed into substance.
Reji spoke his two sentences.
"You missed one evil deed in what you said."
"The fall of the Court of Judgment."
He did what he said.
Just two sentences.
With the end of the last sentence, the barrier that was originally connected to Stillwater Prison and closed reopened under the flourishing blood light in Reji's eyes, and its scope began to continuously expand until it enveloped...
The entire Tower of Justice.
It enveloped the grand justices, the noble jury, the Second Prince, it enveloped... every high-ranking member of the Court of Judgment present.
The pitch-black abyss-like Stillwater Prison was right below the barrier. In other words, as long as anyone present dared to move slightly, what awaited them might be a fall.
Falling into that terrifying hell with absolutely no possibility of survival, never to turn over, feared by everyone in the Court of Judgment and also making everyone tremble at the mention of it, Stillwater Prison.
Thus, a new trial began.
And this time, there was only one "grand justice".
The Demon King.
