After listening to Clara's story, Fan Wei said nothing. He just touched the girl's head and watched her finish her dinner quietly.

The gentleman's silence made Clara feel a little uneasy.

She had already made up her mind to fight to the bitter end, so she mustered up the courage to ask, "Sir, what should I do? Will you forgive me?"

Fan Wei smiled and shook his head, "Why do you need me to forgive? Clara, you have gone through everything. I just listened to the process."

"I haven't experienced the pain, struggle, and grief, so I'm not qualified to judge for you."

"But I believe Clara is a good kid! So I support you, and I will share with you the responsibilities and pressures that society has to bear."

"Sir..." The voice trembled slightly.

At this moment, all of Clara's worries and concerns disappeared, mist filled her cool black eyes, and for the first time, she took the initiative to lean on Fan Wei's shoulder and hugged him.

There is no more entanglement of undeservedness, and love and trust are finally straightened out.

"Thank you, sir. I, I..." She lowered her voice, whispering slowly and gently, "I love you."

"I love you too, Clara~" Fan Wei smiled happily.

"What about me?" Gonia asked unkindly as she got out. This was her servant! How could he be taken away by someone else?

"Of course I do."

Freeing up one hand to touch the little head of the blonde girl, Fan Wei felt that it was more important than anything else for everyone to live a good life!

"And me...!" Yunxin followed happily, but the two gazes that suddenly came at her were so intense that they were even colder than the chilly wind in the coldest months of winter!

"I, I forget it... I won't get involved~" Yun Xin stepped back in a sweat.

It's terrible. Sister Clara and sister Gonia are too xenophobic. It's a pity that such good people like the Dong family can't become siblings with different surnames~!

What's the big deal if you add me?

The bold oriental heroine muttered so.

"Stay overnight in the church tonight." Fan Wei smiled and decided to accompany the girl and give her the greatest peace of mind.

This incident also made him gradually understand the importance of force. Not to mention having the strength of Owen and Su Fuli, even if he could reach Irene's level.

It is also enough to protect the shop safely.

No longer just any weird guy can come and scam you!

Fan Wei made up his mind that after this crisis, he must speed up his training and discuss with everyone in the team that it is time to go to the second floor of the maze!

A request was made to the bishop, who generously allocated a rest room and beds and bedding.

As night fell, Yunxin and Gonia fell asleep on the upper bunk. Clara looked at Fan Wei, who was lying flat on his back just a few steps away, and spoke softly in a stammering voice.

"Sir, are you asleep?"

Fan Wei, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and smiled softly, "There is still one minute and thirty-two seconds before my biological clock ticks~"

"I see..." Clara suddenly covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "I still remember the first time I did deep-diving fish, the gentleman suddenly fell asleep in front of me."

"At that time, I thought you were suffering from a toxin attack and was shocked."

"Haha, I'm sorry to have made you worry. That was the day that really changed my destiny..."

Recalling and sighing, the air was quiet for a while, and Clara spoke again, "If we can get through everything smoothly this time, sir... we will never separate again, okay?"

After waiting for a while, there was no response, and I could hear a low, quiet snoring.

Fan Wei's biological clock had arrived again, and he fell asleep in an instant.

"Really..." Clara was not depressed. She just lowered her eyes, turned sideways and put her face on the pillow. She looked at the silly sleeping face opposite her and raised the corners of her mouth.

Gradually, the girl closed her eyes and uttered the words in her dream.

"It makes me feel so relieved."

......

The drizzle hit the glass windows of the church. The believers who came to pray in the rain took the breakfast distributed by the pastor and were surprised to find that the food today was much more delicious!

"Mr. Misr, thank you for your help!"

After finishing the morning service, the female bishop and a group of bishops and priests sat around the dining table to watch the master chef demonstrate his superb cooking skills.

Not only the Holy Communion for the believers, but also the breakfast for all the clergy, Fan Wei also covered the breakfast for everyone.

"Just consider it as a reward for staying overnight yesterday."

Smiling, he served the golden "Sun Cake" onto the plate. This religious communion made of eggs, sunflower oil and honey was as brilliant and delicious as its name.

"Someone from the court will come to pick up Miss Clara in a moment, and we will do our best to defend her."

The accompanying group of priests bowed their heads and drew the holy emblem, and Fan Wei responded devoutly.

He doesn't believe in God, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to hug God when he reaches out his thigh! Although there are still some purists who don't agree with Clara as a "pagan".

But under the guidance of the archbishop, the church finally decided to support the girl.

All she was asked to do was change her faith and come to church once a week to study doctrine.

There's nothing wrong with this. It just so happens that I can be with Yunxin. This young lady from the East is also very respectful of God.

Although she was a foreign believer, in the church, Yunxin took out the Ming Tianmu jade token that her mother asked her to carry, and played an important role in the vote.

This is an amnesty decree forged by believers of the Lord of Eastern Light with great divine power.

It was originally used to help the Kagogawa clan mobilize their forces to resist evil demons and foreign enemies, and was given to Yunxin by her mother to use as a talisman.

Even though they belonged to different organizations, they believed in the same god and used the same power, so they were still a family. The church warmly welcomed the eldest daughter of the Rogawa family.

"I don't understand why the Three Pure Ones Holy Mother Seals in the West Land should be separated."

Seemingly confused about the way the three goddesses were worshipped in Maze Street, Yunxin sat in the carriage sent by the court, muttering in confusion.

"Because the three goddesses are independent gods, it's normal for each of them to have their own sect, right?"

Fan Wei chatted casually, the Supreme Glory and Mother Nature both have their own sects, while Lady Star and Moon is worshipped by spellcasters. They are all great gods at the top, so it is normal for them to have their own religions.

The East is a bit strange, it seems not very clear.

"But isn't it a trinity, one body with three sides?" Yun Xin asked in confusion.

"what?"

Just as Fan Wei was confused and surprised by these words, the carriage stopped and they arrived at the Maze Street Court.

Walking up the stairs into the spacious courtroom, the atmosphere in the courtroom was solemn and oppressive. Clara was escorted to the most central position. In front of her was a high judge's seat, and a row of five judges were already seated.

At the same time, four participating seats were near them, with people from the nobles, guild, church, and sage tower taking their seats.

Fan Wei saw Irene and Vilolinka. Although they were just sitting nearby, the Sage Tower’s attitude was very clear by directly sending the deacon and the department head.

"The court is now in session."

Seeing that the jury and the prosecution had arrived, the judge recited the oath to the laws of the kingdom and to the light and justice of the gods, and then announced the beginning of the trial.

"Kill her, hang her! Death penalty is necessary!"

On the prosecution side, the excited villagers shouted loudly, calling for Clara to be killed. They screamed and vented their fear and anger.

"This demon must be killed!"

"A murderer! My family was killed by her!"

"Disaster! She must be a devil sent by the evil god to destroy the world!"

Those indignant voices, perhaps even today, they still believe that Clara is the root of all evil.

"Quiet." The judge banged the gavel. "Next, I will read the verdict. The accused, 'Clara Wilmera', is suspected of worshiping evil gods and creating mass murder, resulting in the deaths of more than 300 people!"

"Although there was self-defense, the crime was too serious. The preliminary judgment is that the death penalty should be executed immediately."

After reading the court ruling, the judge sat down and looked at the audience seat next to him.

"We now invite representatives of all parties involved in the judgment to present their opinions."

After he finished speaking, the courtroom fell silent for a while, and the villagers who had made the accusation showed excitement, thinking that they would surely be able to kill this demon!

"We object." But the voice that came was not what I expected.

The noble representatives were the first to propose it, followed by the guild, the church, and the Sage's Tower.

"We object."

"We object."

"be opposed to."

All four organizations objected, and the judge on the bench frowned, and finally banged the gavel to make a warning.

"Because the parties hold different opinions, the retrial will begin immediately."

——————————————I am the dividing line———————————————————

This trial is a bit troublesome, the judges all frowned and thought to themselves.

Because the identities of the people involved were not special, the court had only consulted with the church before.

The expected result should have been a slightly lighter sentence, imprisonment or exile, but now all four sides are against it?! The final ruling is very hard to predict!

“Now please all parties state the reasons for your opinions.”

The judges were quite nervous as they had to give the right to speak to representatives of all parties.

What led to the four parties, who had never been in agreement, to reach a consensus? There was no precedent for this before! You know, the Sage Tower has always cooperated with the Guild, and the Church has always cooperated with the Nobles.

There have always been unclear checks and balances between the parties. Which broker can bring them together?

The first person to speak was a representative of the nobility. The spokesman, whose hair was meticulously combed, coughed lightly and spoke clearly, "We uphold the legal principles of the kingdom and support the court in making fair, reasonable, and objective judgments."

“However, due to the very special circumstances and seasons in which the accused were located, the biggest factor causing the problem was an irresistible natural disaster.”

"Therefore, in view of the special care regulations issued by Her Royal Highness the Princess for the refugees who come to the Maze Street, we recommend lenient treatment."

The judges twitched their lips when they heard the noble representatives' speeches. Wouldn't that mean that only petty thefts and other acts of survival that were done out of necessity would be exempted? Could such a heavy sentence also be considered?

But since the princess had been brought up, it was very clear who was behind it, so they were not stupid enough to ask further questions.

After the nobles, it was the representatives of the church. Their speech was relatively simple. In two sentences, it was: "Because Miss Clara has the intention to repent and turn over a new leaf, she has also shown her devotion to the goddess."

“So, we also recommend lenient treatment.”

Can this be forgiven? Isn't this the most taboo thing in the church?

The judges suppressed their surprise and nodded dully. It was a long time before they remembered to ask the guild representative to speak.

"Our reasons are clear."

The capable and shrewd female guild employee was full of energy, "This Miss Clara is one of the adventurers that the guild organized to solve the thunder bug problem! She made a significant contribution to saving the maze street!"

"The merits and demerits offset each other, so a lighter punishment is very appropriate!"

This is a very good reason, but it seems that this person is not on the published list...? Okay, if you say there is, then there is.

The judges all looked numbly at the last representative of the Sage Tower.
