Game of the World Tree (800-979)

Chapter 871 Refutation and Debate

    "The Church of Life is hypocritical, evil and cruel, and since its emergence has invaded the land of the Orcs, plundered the wealth of the nations of mankind, and bewitched the ignorant people with heresy, divided the territory of the Empire, and undermined the authority of our Lord..."

    "Since 1072 of the Eternal Age, John the Absolute, despite the provisions of the Agreement of the True God, has privately preached the faith of the Church of Life throughout the Holy Mania, inciting the people and provoking confrontation..."

    "Since the preaching of John the Blasphemy, there have been 47 life-threatening riots, 34 of them related to John the Blasphemy. The riots have resulted in the deaths of at least 132 nobles and 27 clergy, including three earls, a marquis and two bishops." It affects 31 cities... ...and it's a heinous crime, and it's unforgivable!"

    "According to Chapter 7, Article 53 of the Gospel Precepts of the Eternal Canon, John the Blasphemy has seriously violated the rights and interests of the Eternal Church, violated the doctrines and imperial laws, and constituted 18 crimes of blasphemy, sedition, paganism... and so on!"

    "The glory of my Lord is inviolable, and the majesty of my Lord is inviolable!"

    "John the blasphemy is sinister and evil, distorted and selfish, and has done unforgivable deeds to compel ignorant people for personal ambition and self-interest. John the blasphemy is now punished by fire in accordance with the judgment of the Eternal Church Judgment!"

    " john... do you know sin?!"

    The majestic voice of the Bishop of the Judgment House spread throughout the square.

    At the end of the reading, he almost shouted at old John in a roaring voice, his eyes wide, his features ugly and angry.

    The words seemed to carry some magic, with the power to shake people's hearts.

    After hearing his words, the onlookers could not help the mood shock, from the heart produced a kind of remorse and guilt mood, the mind could not help but think of all kinds of wrong things they had done, fearful ... ...

    This is the magic of the clergy [spiritual awe].

    For a moment, many church-fearing eternal believers or people with weak spiritual tolerance could not help but bow their heads, or repent and pray, or sob in a low voice.

    Then there were the unsteady people staring at John the Blessed One with hateful eyes, as if eager to eat his flesh ... ...

    The somewhat depressing silence of the Bishop of the Judgment was soon broken, and the swearing sounded again, as if no curse in the world could express the people's hatred of the blasphemy ... ...

    If it wasn't too far away, I'm afraid many more stones would fall on old John.

    However, unlike the angry people who heard the words of the trial, John Sr. remained calm, and the [psychological awe] of the bishop of the trial did not seem to have worked on him.

    He raised his head gently, his waist straight, his voice firm :

    "No, I'm... ...not guilty."

    "Bold ! John the blasphemy, what you have done has long been recorded in our judgment, as evidenced by the agreement of the true God and the Eternal Canon. Do you want to argue?

    The Bishop of the Judgment exclaimed.

    John Sr. smirked, glanced disdainfully at the indignant bishop of the Judgment, and then slowly turned his eyes to the calm-faced Pope Benedict II.
