Linus turned to the surrounding guards and the few adventurers who had been dragged in, and shouted at the top of his lungs, inciting them:

"Look! Look at this pair of traitors! They attracted monsters and killed innocent adventurers. They've been using illusions to confuse us these past few days to cover up their crimes!"

"The Dragon Slaying City Diocese and the Holy City will never let them go! Captain Edgar, I order you to immediately arrest these two traitors and blasphemers of the Church of Holy Light!"

As a priest who preaches full-time, Linus has plenty of rhetoric to distort the facts.

It is a fact that Osborne Town was invaded by monsters.

Linus didn't believe that Kyle and Ruby had the ability to solve the crisis of monster invasion. They were just two fourth-level professionals!

No matter what happened outside, just put the blame on Kyle and Ruby!

If he takes down these two people, all the remaining fools will be fooled by him!

The most powerful person in Osborne Town should be the Dragon Slayer City guard in front of him. If any fools dare to spread rumors that are unfavorable to him, they will be suppressed!

Edgar Brandon's body was stiff, and the veins on his hand gripping the hilt of his sword were bulging.

The scene before him completely overturned his cognition.

Illusion? There are no monsters outside?

So what have they been afraid of for the past week?

Does Linus really have the strength to challenge the special person from the Holy City...

He suddenly looked at Linus, and there was only madness and an eagerness to pass the blame in the other's eyes.

Edgar Brandon hesitated for a moment and did not order his subordinates to respond to Linus' call.

When the disaster happened, he agreed to Linus's request because he felt that he was unable to suppress the chaos in Osborne Town.

Withdrawing troops and not caring about the lives of the residents of Osborne Town is for the sake of self-preservation.

Judging from the situation outside, the crisis in Osborne Town seems to have been resolved.

No matter who between Linus and Kyle can pin the crime on the other, it has nothing to do with him being the captain of the guard in the same place.

What qualifications does a warrior who is only considered a lay believer have to interfere in the affairs of the Holy Light Church?

If he doesn't take sides, the worst that can happen is that he will be fired. With his strength, he can live a comfortable life if he joins a powerful adventure group.

But if you stand in line, you might die!

Kyle took a step forward. His voice was steady and clear, carrying the majesty of a priest. He deliberately followed Linus's lead:

"Father Linus, accusations require evidence. You say we colluded with heretics, created chaos, and destroyed evidence? So, may I ask, what evidence did we destroy?"

"Is it the order you personally acknowledged, allowing the large-scale distribution of the 'Holy Light Purification Potion' of unknown origin in the quarantine camp?"

"Or is it the record of the transaction between Sheng'en Magic Pharmacy and the Lisbon family, which resulted in huge profits from providing potions?"

Linus's face instantly turned the color of liver. "You...you are slandering me! That potion is a gift from the Holy Light! It's a life-saving remedy!"

"It's you, yes! It was you who secretly performed the ritual in conjunction with the heretics, causing those adventurers to lose control! Evidence? The fact that you disappeared when Osborne Town was in crisis is the biggest evidence! These Dragon Slayer City guards and adventurers behind me are witnesses!"

Ruby snorted coldly, the flail pendant condensed in her hand, and the bright white holy light flickered, but she resisted the urge to purify the fat pig in front of her, and only responded coldly:

"Linus Bode, your lies and dereliction of duty will be judged by the Holy Light. As for our treason, that will be determined by the judge."

"Now, to answer Lord Kyle's question, where is the order you signed agreeing to use the potion? Or did you simply order the camp to use the potion without even signing a written order?"

"Captain Edgar, answer my question. Did Linus sign a written order agreeing to use potions that haven't been tested by researchers from the Magic Association?"

Ruby's sharp eyes were like a hawk, accurately capturing the instantaneous struggle and evasion on Edgar Brandon's face.

The captain of the guard loosened and tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, his eyes moving quickly between Linus's fat face twisted with anger and Kyle's calm and serious face. His Adam's apple rolled, but he did not speak for a long time.

"It seems, no?"

Father Linus saw Edgar's hesitation, and the panic in his heart grew like poison ivy.

He must seize the initiative! He must immediately brand the other party a traitor!

"Your questions are meaningless! Traitor!"

Linus screamed, trying to hide his guilt with his voice, his fat body trembling violently with excitement. "How can the majesty of the Holy Light be questioned by a blasphemer like you! Edgar! As the acting priest of the Holy Light Church in Dragon Slaying City, I command you! Capture them! Otherwise..."

Before she finished speaking, the last trace of restraint in Ruby's eyes disappeared.

In those vertical pupils that always burned with fiery fighting spirit, there was now only the cold fire of judgment.

She saw Edgar's hesitation and understood that this wavering captain of the guard would no longer be a help to Linus.

She collected evidence in order to deal with the complicated rules of the Holy City Tribunal and to nail down the possible mastermind behind Linus.

It is not to give this fat pig priest who is full of lies, puts the parish believers in danger, and has blood on his hands a chance to refute!

"I answer you! Linus Bode!"

Ruby's voice suddenly rose in pitch, and bright white holy light burst out from the flail pendant, making her look like a human-shaped holy flame torch!

"Now! Immediately! Accept the judgment of the Holy Light!"

"What...!" Linus' scream was blocked in his throat.

Ruby moved!

The holy light that erupted was not an attack, but instantly ignited her own body, turning into a bright white lightning that tore through the morning mist!

The speed was so fast that it far exceeded the limit of what the fat Linus could react to!

She had no intention of listening to any answers, nor did she need to wait for the so-called order documents.

The goal is clear, capture the blasphemer and execute him on the spot!

"Heretic! How dare you--!" Linus's face instantly lost all color due to extreme fear. He screamed instinctively and tried frantically to activate the protective magic.

A faint ray of holy light, far less pure than Ruby's, barely condensed on his fat palm.

But it's too late!

Ruby's figure is approaching!

The flail didn't swing. Ruby opened the five fingers of her left hand, and the bright white holy light condensed into a substantial claw shape, carrying a burning breath that purified everything.

Like the vise of judgment that grabs the neck of a sinner, it accurately and coldly grabs Linus's fat neck covered with cold sweat!

To deal with Yu Ze, a priest who stayed in the church all year round and relied solely on the prayers of believers to improve his professional experience, she didn't need to use the holy artifact of judgment at all.

"ah--!"

Linus howled like a pig being slaughtered, a flash of madness in his eyes, and his fat body burst out with strength far beyond his size!
