Chapter 501 Storage and Retrieval
When the blazing light destroyed the defense system and penetrated the entire Pyrotechnics from top to bottom with unstoppable force, for a moment, this 10,000-ton ship trembled, and the passengers on it fell down along with the entire ship. Many people fell down from their pillars during the vibration.
The blazing light lasted only for a moment before disappearing without a trace. In the hall of the Burning Chamber, everyone looked at the place where the blazing light disappeared in astonishment. Harjeta, who was running there, was now nowhere to be seen. Instead, there were two large holes with a diameter of two or three meters on the floor and ceiling. The originally quiet environment had now become extremely noisy and alarming.
"Report! Lord Crofton, the emergency shield has been broken, the bottom of the ship has been pierced, and our ship is taking in a lot of water!" A priest broke through the door, stumbled into the hall, and shouted urgently to Crofton. When Crofton heard the priest's words, his gloomy face fell again, and then he immediately spoke.
"Stop the leak immediately with all your strength!"
"Yes!" After responding, the reporting priest ran quickly to the back for a few more steps, and Crofton then quickly turned his gloomy eyes to the illusory nun Evie who was floating slightly beside him, and said without suppressing his anger.
"Ms. Evi... do you know what you are doing?!"
"Of course I know, I'm protecting the key witness from harm..." Facing Crofton's words, Evie spoke calmly, and Crofton continued to speak with undiminished anger.
"You are killing people! You are killing people on the Scorch! You are killing people on the territory of the Judicial Bureau with my permission! You are also damaging the Scorch! Do you know what the consequences of this are?!"
"Consequences? What consequences can there be? Do you want to judge me? Are you a mere Crofton, qualified to judge me? Not to mention you, even if Grand Inquisitor Kramar wants to judge me, he must have the approval of the Holy See or the Council of Cardinals. If you appeal to the Council of Cardinals, I also suggest that you report the fact that you just held down your own people and allowed the murderer to destroy the video records of important witnesses. Let's see what the final result will be?"
Facing the furious Crofton, Ivy spoke slowly with a calm expression. Crofton's face twisted as he listened to Ivy's words. He clenched the armrests of the chair tightly with his hands, and then spoke with gritted teeth.
"Ms. Evi... please don't go too far!"
"Then I also advise Judge Clifton to be more restrained and have a more correct attitude. If you continue to act in an unlawful and reckless manner, then the force of my action will not be limited to what you did just now. In order to ensure that the Pyrotechnics will not be sunk by the firepower of the Holy Friends, such a big scandal, I think both sides should exercise restraint and put the matter in a new light on the case."
Evie continued to speak to Crofton in silence and calmly. Although her words were indifferent, they revealed a huge pressure that was hard to resist. For a moment, Crofton was completely shrunken by the pressure. He could only suppress his anger. After glancing at Robert and Maad in front of him with sullen faces, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay... okay... don't worry about it for now, let's get the answers first..." As he said that, Crofton turned his head with a gloomy face and looked at the center of the magic circle in the middle of the hall. At this time, there was the ghost of Mazar, who had been summoned by magic and was also frightened by the blazing light just now. When he wanted to ask some questions, Robert, who had a sullen face, suddenly stood up and shouted at Crofton.
"Your Mightiness!"
Listening to Robert's words, Krafton turned his head and looked at Robert who was standing in front of the seat with a look of horror and expectation. Facing such a Robert, Krafton looked at Evie who had an indifferent expression on the other side, then sighed secretly, and finally focused his gaze on the ghost of Mazar.
"Prince of Mazar, do you remember how you died?"
"I..." Facing Crofton's words, Mazar's soul was a little confused at first, and then the expression on his face became firm, revealing pain and anger. He turned around and looked at Robert and Maad beside him.
"I was strangled to death! I was strangled to death! I was unconscious after being shot at the station, and then I was taken to a room and locked up. They lied to me that they were going to treat me here, but they killed me two days later!
"I recognize them... They are from the city guards! They are the captain here, Robert's men! The one who strangled my man... was the captain of the guards named Hajeta! He is definitely Robert's man! I was completely killed by Robert!
"And... and my uncle Ma'ad. He is very close to Robert. When I attended the welcoming ceremony at the station that day, it was Ma'ad who insisted that I leave! He must have colluded with Robert to send me to my death!"
With obvious anger, the ghost of Mazar pointed at Robert Maad and spoke loudly. The spiritualist at the side said that the words of the ghost were almost simultaneously released in the hall.
After hearing these words, everyone in the hall fell silent. Crofton rubbed his forehead in distress. Robert, with a stern face, fell into a chair with his legs limp. Maad, who was standing next to him, was so scared that he fainted. Evie's face remained motionless and she ignored the whole audience. Vanya clasped her hands in front of her chest and began to pray.
At this time, on the deck of the Pyrotechnics, countless crew members were busy repairing the damage caused by the blazing light not long ago. One of the crew members sat aside to rest after being tired. During this process, he could not help but look at the dense clouds in the sky and the blazing light shining through the clouds.
In the thick clouds, the power of the "light" in the crew's eyes worked slightly, and then in their eyes, a huge outline seemed to emerge above the thick clouds.
…
While the confrontation on the Torch was going on, on the other side of the Kankerdar foreign residential area, Dorothy, wearing a short-sleeved dress, was sitting in a cafe, drinking a cup of coffee and gazing at the scenery at the distant dock. Not long ago, she saw the fleeting dazzling light that fell from the sky.
'What a destructive force! Sister Evi... I didn't expect that there would be such a person in the church faction that supports Vanya. It seems that they really look down on Vanya...
"But fortunately, we have Miss Evi here to take charge. We are able to confront the officials and the jury of Kankedal. Otherwise, we would have to run away with Vanya in the middle of the night..."
While drinking coffee, Dorothy thought in her heart. By watching the entire confrontation process remotely from Vanya's perspective, Dorothy already knew that things on the Pyre were basically over. The general situation was within Dorothy's expectations. The only thing that surprised her was probably Evie's action. After observing the way Evie attacked, Dorothy had more guesses about Evie.
"Huh... Anyway, if everything goes well with the Torch, the matter with Kankedal will be almost settled. Then, the next thing is to deal with some minor details..."
