Melina felt him leaving and opened her mouth to pray silently: "See through the essence, see the truth, and see again if we are destined to."

When she turned around and looked up, the little girl guarded by two knights had already approached.

"Aunt Melina, who are you talking to?"

Facing Galausa, Melina was no longer indifferent. She smiled and said:

"No one. I am preparing a defense statement in advance in case someone reports me to the Knights' Trust and the Fair Arbitration Tribunal."

After saying this, she glanced at the two knights behind Galausa.

The two little knights were instantly sweating profusely.

“No, everything you did today was in compliance with my orders. I will ask Lord Kernlauer to forgive your sin of ignorance.

Let's go, Grandpa Serius has been killed, there is no need for me to come here anymore."

The guard behind the little girl hesitated for a moment, but still whispered a reminder:

"Lady Galusa, Mr. Serius is still sorting out the information. If you want to consult him, you can still..."

"Forget it, I don't want to talk to a fake, you know what I mean by a fake, let's go Aunt Melina."

As she spoke, the little girl took Melina's hand and walked out quietly.

...

Montrani Court of Justice.

At the highest point of the notarial court there is a suite that can be described as luxurious. This was originally the place of pilgrimage for the Court of Justice, but since the death penalty was promulgated, this has become the place where the Supreme Judge stays when he comes to Montrani.

It was already evening, and 7 or 8 hours had passed since the explosion in the morning. The setting sun was still lingering on the horizon, and the afterglow of the sunset cast a warm yellow filter over the entire Montrane.

Supreme Inquisitor Kernlauer stood on the balcony of the suite, looking in the direction of the collapse of the Montrani Colosseum with a solemn expression.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and then a little girl pushed the door open and walked in.

He didn't even look back but he already knew who the person was. Even so, his expression didn't change at all and he said with a serious face:

"Little Galausa is back. What did you learn today?"

The little girl walked obediently behind Kernlauer and said softly:

"I have learned that useless people should be abandoned and those who need to be killed should be killed without mercy."

"Not bad, who did you learn this from?"

"You, the honorable Supreme Judge, my dear grandfather, Lord Kernlauer."

"Order is above, and law is below. Killing people also needs to follow the rules and not just do it as you please. I don't seem to have taught you these things."

"But everything you say and do teaches me these things."

"Very good, little Galausa has grown up." Kernlauer's words seemed to be relieved, but his expression remained unchanged, still so serious and cold, "Cerius is not a good teacher. He shouldn't have instilled those noises of [Truth] into you too early."

"I asked for it myself."

"You want to pursue the truth?"

“No, I just think that the three adults don’t like [Order], so I want to ask another “Him” for the answer.

【Truth】See through the essence, maybe you can tell me the reason. "

"It's just a joke. As the favored one of the Gods of Order, I believe in Him and worship Him. How can I not be happy?"

“It’s exhausting how adults live in lies.

But Master Kernlauer, I still want to ask you a question."

"Um."

“If one day, [order] is no longer in order, then what will happen to us?”

Kernlauer watched the sunset gradually disappear into the sky, the afterglow quietly fading away, and said without joy or sadness:

“The knowledge you have learned today has already written the answer for you.

Go back, I have some things to deal with."

"Yes." Galausa lowered her head and left obediently.

After she left, another figure appeared on the windowsill of the suite. The knight in the shadow half-knelt on the ground respectfully and reported in a low voice:

"The trap master Grindel has left Montrani, and the learned poet Melina has not made any move. She is still staying with Lady Garusa.

Sir, are we really going to let them go?"

"why not?

No matter who is responsible for this chaos, someone has to bear the blame, right?

The Tower of Reason and Quality is already a mess, and I guess the old guys in the Erudite Chairman's Society wouldn't mind making it even more messy.

Go ahead and find a chance to tell Galausa about Melina's identity."

"My Lord, Lady Garusa still believes that she has let Serius go. In this case...

She’s only this old…”

“It doesn’t matter, she can bear it, and she must bear it.

Otherwise, after I leave, how can the light of Order spread to places outside the Grand Inquisition?"

"Civilization rises, and [order] lasts forever." The knight in the shadow hit his left shoulder hard and retreated quietly.

“Yes, Order lasts forever, and I hope it will last forever, but I have seen its decline and decay.

So, how to survive?"
