According to the tradition of Cangshi Kingdom, a fair and formal trial must comply with the following provisions.

    First, the trial must be open. Anyone, regardless of his or her identity or race, is entitled to watch the trial, and the viewer is entitled to challenge the judge''s statement in the trial. Although this does not force the judge to change his judgment, let alone interrupt the trial, this provision means that once the judge makes a trial that is obviously contrary to common sense After the sentence, his reputation and ability will be greatly questioned.

    Secondly, the presiding officer of the trial must be the highest nobleman or leader of the current territory. The royal family can not shirk the responsibility of presiding over the trial with any excuse and reason. However, if the royal family present cannot ensure the fairness of a trial due to personality or other problems, it can also be handed over to the second ranking aristocrat to preside over the trial if it is confirmed.

    "Thirdly, if there is a sentence of death penalty in the trial, the judge must execute the death penalty as the executor, so as to show that he is responsible for the outcome of the trial. And he must swear to the gods in his real name and family name before execution, that if the result of the trial is wrong, then the soul of the dead can be allowed to come back for revenge. " On the way to the place of trial, cheese explained to Elsa the rules of the trial they were about to face.

    "It sounds fair, so it''s Gregory who presides over our trial?" The landlady nodded and said.

    "No, the highest rank here is the count of Heishan, so the host is Lothar." Said Lyon, who was at the front.

    The trial came a little later than the mage had expected, and the reason, in the knight''s words, was that Gregory needed more time to "collect" their evidence. When he said this, the blood lion''s mouth began to sneer at each other''s incompetence. But anyway, it''s a good thing for cheese. It means Lyon has more time to rest. After enough sleep, although hunger makes the three weak, they can at least stay awake.

    "In that case, Gregory may not be able to persuade the count of black mountain to sentence us to death?" Elsa said that although the chief secretary had promised that he would be able to escape with the other two men on the execution ground, it would mean that they would formally break up with the power of the kingdom. At that time, let alone the resources for the allocation of antidotes, it would be impossible to leave the Earl of saloon.

    "I advise you not to expect too much. Gregory may not be the best fighter, but in terms of negotiation, he is indeed the most trustworthy member of the royal order." Although betrayed by his subordinates very angry, but for the other side''s ability, Lyon or disdain to belittle.

    "By the way, you haven''t said why this Gregory wanted to kill you? What did you have against him before If you can know the old grudge between them, maybe there is still room for recovery. On the other hand, everyone is more or less curious about this kind of mystery, and the mage is no exception. In fact, cheese wanted to ask this question for a long time, but after entering Zhuoluo Town, he encountered too many things, so he never had the opportunity to ask. Now both sides are looking forward to the conflict. Cheese thinks that it is better to ask as soon as possible. Hearing the mage mention this topic, the landlady also immediately raised her ears.

    "To your disappointment, he and I didn''t have the grudges you expected. The reason he wanted to get rid of me was simple. Do you remember when I told you about the difference between us and the Knights of the hammer in Creek Valley Lyon shrugged and said.

    "I remember you said it was because most of you came from civilians." The cheese with a good memory quickly replied.

    "Yes, but I didn''t tell you the whole story. As the first legion of the Kingdom, the Royal Knights'' order is not composed entirely of civilians. In fact, the proportion of aristocratic children in the order is not low. But compared with the Knights'' order, which is almost all nobles like the hammer, this is a very precious thing. As for why Gregory was dissatisfied with me becoming the Knight Commander of the second legion, it was very simple, because I was a civilian After saying this, Lyon''s facial expression is very complicated. In the knight''s opinion, it is a very disgraceful thing for the Cavaliers to create factions within the Legion and even frame each other just because of their origin. What''s more, he told cheese they were outsiders.

    "So Gregory was of noble birth, and he wanted to be the head of the second army after he killed you? It''s not hard for me to understand. I''m just curious about how you became the Knight Commander. After all, even if you said that no matter how fair you said, the promotion within the Legion is still dominated by nobles? " The mage asked curiously.

    "Ha, that''s about our Grand Knight. He is the core and soul of the Knights of the whole kingdom. Although he is of noble origin, he treats all Knights equally. I came to this position all the way under his introduction. In fact, the reason why Gregory dare to mutiny now is that the grand Cavalier is not in the Kingdom at present Lyon''s face showed respect and admiration when he mentioned the great knight. This is to let cheese feel curious, in the end is what kind of people can let Lyon with the name of blood lion praise to such a point.

    But before he could ask any further questions, after turning the last corner, the place for their trial had arrived. As a border town, naturally, there is no such building as a magistrate''s office in Zhuolu Town, so the venue of the trial was set on the square in the town. At the same time, it can also meet the public part of the trial tradition. It''s just that there are still many people who are not soldiers in turbidity current town, which is questionable. The soldiers used their bodies to draw a circular area in the square. In the area that would be used as a trial, there were no chairs or tables in the square except for Rosa, who was in charge of the trial, Gregory, who was accompanied by him, and a few personal guards. If you insist on it, the isolated wooden pile standing on the square is so obvious that people have to doubt its use.In this way, they were escorted to the center of the circle and knelt before Lothar under the pressure of the knight standing behind them to show their obedience to the trial. Seeing that the blood lion was forced to kneel on the ground, the sneer on Gregory''s face became more obvious. This also let the knight long in disdain after the cold hum, simply lowered his head to look at the front of the floor to avoid the other side''s ugly face.

    Seeing the preparation and completion, Lothar, dressed in his shining armor and armed with Knights'' swords, cleared his throat.

    "I, Rosa Heishan, swear in the name of the Heishan family, will preside over this trial fairly. Now, Leon, Knight Commander of the second division of the royal order, and the unknown sorcerers and northerners around you. You are charged with fleeing the quarantine area, attacking Kingdom soldiers and setting fire to the apothecary Association compound. Do you have anything to say? "

    Just as Lyon was about to speak up for his side, from the distance of the square came a flustered soldier with a tan stain that looked like the color of mud and blood. Cried the soldier as he ran.

    "Monster! There are monsters! The monster is attacking us
