Travel to another world and continue to be a boxer

Chapter 51 Hearing before the Emperor

Archbishop Fagerson viewed the royal hearings as a virtual forum for questioning.

Although it was to assert the legitimacy of the doctrine, as an ordinary adventurer, even a hero would find it difficult to refute it. If they could stand above the magic boxer, then the Atlasian Church and Archbishop Fagerson would have more say.

This is a great opportunity. With this thought in mind, he walked into the corridor of the imperial meeting room. Ye Kai brought Reed and Cham to the imperial hearing. Cham had to ask Ye Kai to let her go.

"It seems that Mr. Magic Boxer really doesn't understand the situation." Fagerson issued a disapproving statement early on.

"Please restrain yourself. Now, let's begin the royal hearing on Ye Kai." The host Klein stopped Fagerson from speaking.

"First, Minister Dal, please report on the troubles of the Adventurer's Guild."

As the Minister of Commerce, Marquis Dal provided a lot of support to the Adventurer's Guild from the perspective of logistics protection. Therefore, he had a certain influence in the guild. In the palace, the window of the Adventurer's Guild was Minister of Commerce Dal.

"It seems that Ye Kai does have a problem." The slightly plump Dal wiped the sweat off his face while making a report.

“But the complainant’s opinion is not so clear and the facts of what happened at the scene cannot be confirmed.”

"Then Ye Kai, can you please explain what happened at that time?"

Ye Kai described what happened that day without hiding anything. After hearing the situation, Klein easily imagined Ye Kai's intention.

"Well, it seems that Ye Kai attacked other adventurers in order to protect the mother and child of the wind weasel."

“Yes, that’s the case, but that doesn’t mean I’m defending myself.”

"I see. This question involves the rules of the Adventurer's Guild, and the guild will be responsible for the decision. Do you have any objections?"

Fagerson also remained silent, as if he thought there was no point in pursuing the matter further.

"Then the next step is to deal with the monster... Archbishop Fagerson?"

Fagerson immediately raised his hand. It was obvious that he was ready to speak.

"Your Highness Ye Kai, I would like to ask you about your intention to bring the magic beast into this palace. Do you intend to betray the expectations of the followers of the Atlasian Church and then betray the Kingdom of Holzlein itself?"

"That's too much, Archbishop. I think this problem is fundamentally caused by different subjective understandings of Warcraft."

"Are you denying the teachings of Atlasia? This is a blasphemy against our faith!" Lord Fagerson protested as he stood up and slammed the table.

"Please wait a moment. I have doubts about the popular theory that animals are corrupted by demons and become demon beasts. I would like to start with this argument."

Lord Fagerson was somewhat surprised by this dramatic turn of events, and said nothing.

“Animals also have a concept of a minimum number of individuals that can survive…”

The minimum viable population is the minimum number of individuals that a species can survive without human protection and reproduction. Although this depends on the species, it is generally between 50 and 100 individuals.

“However, once you take Warcraft into account, the situation becomes very different.”

If a certain percentage of animals need to be excluded from reproduction after they become monsters, then this number will increase significantly.

For example, if monsters such as the Flame Wolf and the Earth Wolf emerged from a wolf pack, it is generally believed that these individuals would be unable to reproduce and would separate from the parent group.

This means that there are not enough individuals in the parent population and the survival of the species will become difficult.

"Based on the number of wolf beasts living around Holmut, the mother group must reach several thousand to maintain. This is just the minimum number. Considering common sense, it should be considered that the number is more than ten thousand. I have never seen so many wolf mother groups."

If we consider what Ye Kai said, the area around Holmut will be full of wolf-like monsters.

“It may be that I don’t know, but if other adventurers have confirmed this and reported the dangerous situation, then the situation is not optimistic. Marquis Dahl, is there such a report?”

“I haven’t heard of that.”

In this case, it can be said that the situation is very dangerous.

"If that's the case, instead of thinking that monsters are transformed from animals, it would be more reasonable to think that each monster is a species that is reproducing, isn't it?"

“That’s true. It’s easier to understand if you think of it that way.”

Klein's words were recognized by many people.

"It is likely that the minimum number of surviving monsters is very small. This is because the survival rate of young monsters is quite high. Therefore, even if the monsters are hunted, they will increase again quickly."

At this point, Ye Kai paused for a moment, then continued: “That is to say, what I want to say is that we cannot completely eliminate the Warcraft just because it is dangerous. If nature is destroyed, disaster will follow.”

"This is a false proposition! This fallacy cannot be accepted! Warcraft should be destroyed! The proof is that the warrior who defeats the Warcraft will receive God's gift - the magic stone!"

Fagerson started to shout excitedly, but Ye Kai began to refute easily: "That is also incorrect. The magic stone is an organ that evolved from a magical beast that cannot form enough magic circuits and needs magic accumulation. It is an internal organ."

"That's a lie! It's totally wrong! That's impossible! Warcraft is the enemy of mankind! The enemy of God!" Fagerson began a heated debate to defend his creed.

"Are the enemies of mankind those who cause harm to mankind? I believe that the biggest killer in history has always been humans. So aren't humans the enemies of God?"

"Ugh! You! Are you mocking my beliefs? You are the enemy of humanity!"

The logic is lost.

"Please be quiet, Your Excellency. You are no longer able to make a calm judgment. Please respect yourself."

“But! But!”

"Please be patient, I will make a judgment. Ye Kai Ye Kai, for the crime of disturbing the order of the palace, your baron title is revoked."

“Father…! Your Majesty, please forgive me, this is too much…” Although Klein seemed to want to refute, he was stopped.

"Your title of honorary knight will remain unchanged. I expect you to continue to serve the kingdom with all your heart."

"I will obey your will."

Ye Kai answered without objection.

"Your Excellency Archbishop Fagerson, I think you place too much emphasis on doctrine and lack fair judgment. From now on, please do not attend court meetings."

In effect, it exiled him from state politics. Church and state politics were separated.

"You are unforgivable. From now on, all Atlasian believers will become your enemies." Fagerson left the meeting room after leaving these last words.

Later, the Atlasian Church declared the Magic Boxer a heretic, but the people responded by significantly reducing their donations. The Archbishop misread the popularity of the Magic Boxer. This became an event that led to the decline of the Atlasian Church in Holzlein.

After listening to Ye Kai's arguments, Chamu understood the real reason why Ye Kai was reluctant to over-hunt monsters. Of course, his level would most likely never rise, but she didn't think it was enough to blame him.

“Stop talking about earning points.”

"Hmm? I'll go hunt monsters if necessary. They're pretty tough and won't go extinct that easily."

“You…”

"Really? You scared me. Stop it."

“I feel like I’m still me and I won’t change.”

Although he was reprimanded by Klein, he did not show any impatience.

"Don't say that, Klein. I find it quite interesting. Having finally gotten rid of the influence of the church, it's time for Holzlein to attract people's hearts in a different way."

"As long as Your Majesty can stay close to the people, there will be no problem."

————————————————————

Reed stood on Ye Kai's head in the designated position, making a "beep beep" sound and playing with Ye Kai's forehead.

"What a relaxed guy, even though he is still the focus of discussion."

"It doesn't matter, if the child is happy. I feel relieved that I can keep my promise."

"Yes, that's the most important thing. Even though the title has been taken away."

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that at all.”

A few days later, the Adventurer's Guild Master bowed his head respectfully and returned the badge to Ye Kai. It is said that when the adventurer was questioned, he admitted that he was the first to draw the sword. So he asked to be able to keep the badge.

This did not disadvantage Ye Kai, so he readily agreed.
