The crossbow arrow flew out of the bowstring and shot accurately into Kernlaer's chest.
The Supreme Inquisitor did not move at all, and just let Lydia's hatred and anger nail him to the back of the chair.
He was really dead. Cheng Shi and Sun Miao were very sure that the Kernlauer in front of them had lost all hope of survival, but...
Since he is still living in history outside of his dream, it means that everything before his eyes is far from over.
Sure enough, just as the two players were looking around, another Kinraul appeared silently behind Lydia, gently reached out and took the crossbow from her hand, and then studied it carefully.
Lydia seemed to have expected this. She was not panicked at all and even sneered sarcastically.
“This is how you killed Lord Esares, right?
Why, does our High Judge want to fill the High Judge's seat in the Court of Cartero with identical judges? "
Although Lydia's words were extremely harsh, Kernlauer did not get angry. He just smiled and observed the short crossbow in his hand, pacing back and forth beside the other party and said:
"Look, this crossbow is the fruit of civilization.
From throwing, to pulling the string, to the mechanism, people continued to improve their skills and finally created such a lethal weapon in this era.
But this creation, which embodies countless years and wisdom, was actually used to kill its creators.
What does this mean?
"Don't try to change the subject to blur your guilt!" Lydia's sharp eyes followed Kinlauer's movements, and another short crossbow was revealed in her sleeve.
"No, I am not guilty."
Kernlauer smiled, stuffed the crossbow in his hand back to Lydia, and said seriously to her stunned expression:
"It wasn't me who killed Esares. It was a frame-up."
Lydia's pupils shrank. She knew it was a frame-up, but she thought it was Kernlauer who framed Artel so that both she and the Executioner would suffer losses and he could achieve his ulterior motives.
But looking at Kernlauer's reaction at this time, he actually denied it?
The Grand Inquisitor, who was confident of victory, seemed to have no need to deny that Lydia did not come here to bring the truth out alive and make it public.
She had already prepared for sacrifice. She had no chance of winning against Kernlal, who controlled the entire Knights of the Iron Law. All she wanted was to survive under the final gaze of "Order" and not die in obscurity.
“You’re lying!
Kernlauer, we have worked together for many years, and I have always regarded you as my predecessor, role model and example, but you are not even willing to give me an answer, a truth before I die! ? "
Lydia's voice was somewhat sad and angry, and she seemed to think that she was not wrong, but the master of deception told Cheng Shi that Kwinlaer did not lie.
He didn't kill the person.
This is interesting, because it means that the only executioner stationed in Carter's Court, Artel, is no pushover either. At least he saw through Kernlaer's thoughts and used Lydia to eliminate the "only remaining opponent."
His perspective is one level higher than that of the Chief Investigator.
Kernlauer smiled and walked back to the long table. He pushed his other self off the chair, then sat down again, resting his elbows on the table and shaking his head.
“I gave you an answer, but you didn’t believe it.
Unfortunately, I didn't bring the Sword of Judgment with me, otherwise, you could pick it up and ask me if I lied.
But you are not wrong, there may be no real answer in this world. At this moment, I also want an answer.
But who can give me the answer? "
Lydia was stunned. Although Kernlaer's true feelings did not seem fake, she still could not believe that the diligent and conscientious Lord Altel would be a power-seeker who manipulates people's hearts.
Did he anticipate the current confrontation?
Lydia was silent for a long time. After putting away her crossbow, she said in a deep voice with a complicated expression:
"Why betray [Order]!"
Kernlauer shook his head again: "Lydjala, don't let yourself be so ignorant. It is the Order that has betrayed us, not us who have betrayed the Order."
“But you knew clearly that something was wrong with Him, yet you turned away and avoided Him. Isn’t this blasphemy?
Why not help Him?
Why don't you remind us?
Why must we wait until the matter is irreversible and watch the Kingdom of Order that the successive Inquisitions have painstakingly built up collapse before our eyes!?
Answer me, Mr. Supreme Judge, and give me your excuse for the defense."
Kernlauer looked at Lydeara with red eyes, sighed, and said slowly:
“I’m sorry, Grand Inquisitor, but I don’t feel I need to defend myself, as I have never betrayed the Order.
No matter how glorious the current Inquisition has been, no matter how devout you and I, including believers everywhere, are, we must recognize one thing, that is, all of this is the practice of the will of [Order] by mortal life.
But now, it is not us who no longer practice the will of [Order], but Him.
So, how can an order that is no longer in order still be called an order? "
"Kinlaur, you!!??"
This is no longer a simple blasphemy, it is simply an insult to "order".
This scene was staged on the Island of Hope, a country that has always been fanatical about gods. The intensity of its blasphemy was no less than Cheng Shi's face-slapping at [Annihilation].
