What did you do with the dice?

However, the results of the three predictions were completely different. There was even no connection between the cards turned over each time. Even the "Hermit" card representing the wizard did not appear. The other party was 100% sure that he was a wizard. How could this prediction be correct?

She couldn't figure out why there were skills beyond her system in this world, no matter how hard she tried. [Ace Agent. Distorted Intelligence]

This completely overturned the field of prophecy she had cultivated for decades. It was an unprecedented result. It reminded her of the mother stone that had been taken away from her control for unknown reasons the day before yesterday. She became even more anxious. She would come to Mo Wujue every day to check on the situation in person, and complain to this person who was her great supporter:

"What a foolish bunch of people! They actually trusted an outsider so easily! And they were so disrespectful to me! Mr. Chief Judge, you must thoroughly judge those people who slandered me, Snidi! As for those people, don't worry. After the Divine Judgment is over, I have plenty of ways to silence their sharp voices. It will never affect the status of the parliament."

"Haha, you don't need to do anything. The voices will naturally disappear. Or rather, they can only speak out." Mo Wujue smiled. "Ever since the passage of the stability maintenance bill and the establishment of the mutual inspection system, you should have known that the people of Estelon can no longer cause any major waves. The Twin Towers, like Parliament, will only become stronger day by day. In the end, all of Estelon will become a vassal of the Twin Towers. This is an irreversible process, and it has been like this for thousands of years."

Qi Weiya didn't quite understand what Mo Wujue meant and didn't know how to respond. After thinking for a moment, she chose to flatter him: "That's also because of your family's correct leadership over the past thousand years. It has made Estelon increasingly powerful, which is why the people are so attracted to this place. Everyone spontaneously supports the rule of your parliament."

"My council?"

"Of course, Mr. Judge, even if there are one or two stubborn individuals in the council, you can rest assured that we, the School of Knowledge, will be your most loyal supporters. As long as it is what you want, we guarantee that we will make it happen. After all, this is what a united council is."

Mo Wujue nodded and put his hands behind his back: "Yes, that's exactly what's happening now. By the way, I gave you three days to prepare. Have you done everything you need to do?"

"No problem. Although I can't find the true identity of that mage, I have predicted his route of action."

"Alright, remember to clean up your research materials and records. Anything you want to keep, I'll take care of it. Before the trial begins, sever all connections between you and objective factors that could potentially cause the gods to disapprove. As for those scavengers, take care of them if you can."

Mo Wujue finally reminded:

"Also, don't forget to appear in court that day."

"Don't worry, Mr. Referee, I have taken care of all these small matters. Everything will be handled cleanly."

Qi Weiya gave a gloomy smile.

Amidst the blazing flames, the captain of the Beacon Tower, Werik, covered in blood, desperately held the bodies of a woman and a little girl, shouting at the people in black iron masks before him, "Why! Why are you doing this to me? I'm clearly loyal to you council members, and Qi Weiya clearly promised me that she wouldn't harm my family! I've done so many dirty things for her, why is she still refusing to let them go!"

The moment he stepped into the house, he saw the corpse. In his mental breakdown, he fell into an ambush and trap and was seriously injured. The other party even brought alchemical interference props that only inquisitors were allowed to carry, making it impossible for him to even think of detonating the alchemical bomb and dying together.

The masked men wiped their bloodstained swords clean and slowly approached the now-unable-to-fight Verik. "Really? My apologies, sir. After death, you can return to the Kingdom of God and sue her with your family before the God of Contracts and Law."

"Why doesn't the gods punish them? Is the so-called fairness just a lie?"

Weirik was furious, tears of blood actually flowed from his eyes. He pounced on the other party and opened his mouth to try to bite the other party's leg.

The sword flashed, and the head flew up with blood.

The leader took off his mask and sneered, "We are a group of 'wanderers' exiled by the gods, having long since lost our citizenship in Estron. It was Lady Qi Weiya who gave us the chance to be reborn and the power we have today. We are not under the gods' watchful eyes, so how can we talk about being punished?"

A masked man nearby shook his head and said in a mocking tone, "Alas, you ridiculous fellow, still fantasizing about fairness. Things like this are only worthy of the strong. The gods don't care about weaklings."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and leave quickly before those law enforcers come to clean up the scene. Let's go to the next one."

The flames shot up into the sky, burning away all the evil.

----

"Domestic news: According to the Public Security Administration, a group of 'vagrants' have infiltrated Esterlen and are indiscriminately committing arson, robbery, and murder. Based on the on-site investigation, it's preliminarily determined that their motive is a form of 'revenge' on society, stemming from dissatisfaction with their previous crimes, resulting in their being stripped of their citizenship and losing the protection of the gods after trial."

"Estren officials claim they will never compromise with criminals. These indiscriminate attacks will be treated as priority targets. They are considered 'wanderers' and are not under the protection of the gods. Therefore, all residents of Estren can proactively kill them without facing divine punishment."

"However, the number of criminals involved is unknown, as is the equipment they possess. They are suspected of receiving financial support from a spy organization within the State of Sinidi. Therefore, please be careful and avoid going out. If you encounter any suspicious individuals, do not act rashly and seek help from nearby law enforcement officers immediately. Those who provide correct clues will also receive a certain amount of Order Coins as a reward."

Rusalka listened to the radio, sipped her milk tea, and made a few sarcastic remarks. "Look, this calls itself a country ruled by law, but it's not as safe as our Pearl Tear Territory. The last time something like this happened in our Pearl Tear Territory, it was Phoenix herself who committed the crime, killing an entire 16-man raid team. They had their culprits. This is much better than the current Esterlen Public Security Bureau, which can't even identify the criminals."

Phoenix glanced at Rusalka.

"But let's be frank. Everything must be viewed dialectically from different perspectives. Phoenix's actions have eliminated instability and major hidden dangers in our territory, and have also made a significant contribution to the accumulation of funds and development in the early stages. It's a reward for a good life!"

Phoenix doesn't care whether your words are sarcastic or not. If you say it's a reward, then it's a real reward. She is never polite. She reached out and pinched Rusalka's ears, rubbed his earlobes back and forth, and then stretched out her fingers to touch his chin.

----

Recently, major events have occurred frequently in Estelon, and with some people secretly fanning the flames and everyone having their own ulterior motives, the speed at which the information spread was so fast that even the Esdi Intelligence Department next door heard about it, and reported the matter to the cardinals and Saint Theresa the next day.

Theresa said to the bishops, "The situation in Esterlun is changing very quickly, but that's normal. After all, that Rusalka is the Messenger of the End."

"Lady Saint, since the enemy is the Messenger of the End who is trying to destroy the world, should we send Angel Left Wing to destroy him?"

Theresa shook her head and opened her arms. Holy sunlight shone from behind her. "God loves the world and is willing to show mercy to them and forgive their sins. We who turn our hearts to the light should carry out God's will. Moreover, he is only a human walking on earth, a paladin who once fought alongside us in times of adversity, and he did not take the initiative to remove the seal on the demon."

"Even God Light is willing to lend him the Holy Light. So we can't treat an innocent person the same way we treat a sinner just because of his special status. Doesn't that mean we are questioning God's judgment?"

A cardinal looked embarrassed. "You are kindhearted, and what you say is certainly true. But since he is the messenger of the end, he will one day carry out his evil plan of annihilation. Gods are great and busy, and it is difficult for them to take care of the details of every life. Rather, the meaning of our existence is to sweep away the tiny dust in the world for him and dispel the darkness in those blind spots. How can we let it grow on its own?"

Theresa smiled and said, "Then we'll wait until that day to stop him. Teaching the world and encouraging people to be good is our duty in this world. If we choose to kill someone because of their temporary evil or the possibility of future evil, then violence is abused, and what difference does it make us from evil? I firmly believe that as the messenger of the end, as long as he reveals his greed and selfishness, it will ultimately be no match for my selfless dedication to the world."

The cardinals nodded and let it go. After all, Rusalka still had the holy light on her. Since God Light chose to trust her, and Theresa, the most devout saint under God Light, also chose to trust her, even if they had grudges, they would not take the initiative to go against her wishes and do something extraordinary across borders.

The God of Contract and Law, and the God of the Sea, these two powers of faith, are not easy to obtain in person because I am injured and have no chance.

Little Knight, please bring them back for me.

Anyway, the faith of happiness is in my hands, and the unattainable faith in the mastery of time must be in your hands.

If you also want to gather the faith of the twelve gods, when we have each collected the faith of others, the day of the head-on confrontation will come.

Chapter 363: Konorushakada!

The night before the trial, Sanita made final preparations.

He found the person involved, Ai Li. Although she didn't need to speak, she just needed to stand there and authorize Sanita to act as the agent, but he still told the latter the whole story.

After hearing this, Ai Li even put the food in her hand aside, clenched her hands, and hesitantly lowered her head as she spoke, "I...even though I hate her, it's been so long, and I've let it go. How can I kill her for revenge now? If I harm others for my own selfish desires, wouldn't that make me the same as her?"

Sanita: "Having said that, I also know you can't be cruel."

She nodded, raised her head and looked at Sanitta with a hopeful look: "How about we reconcile with her? I am willing to forgive her crimes. After all, those things are in the past. If she can really bring a better life to the people of Esterlen, it means that she has reformed. Why should we judge someone who has become a good person? After all, everyone makes mistakes..."

Sanitieta said disdainfully, "Then, according to what you said, who can those villagers, your parents, and you, complain about the injustice they suffered back then? Only the living have the right to accuse, not the dead. Does that mean that if I just kill all those who oppose me and then benefit those who support me, I'll be a good person who can be forgiven?"

Ai Li couldn't argue with Sanita, but he still felt a little reluctant: "But I still can't personally send her to her death now that she has retired from the world."

Sanitta had anticipated what she would say, and everything was under control. "Then you have to think carefully. If you don't send her off, then Rusalka, who guaranteed her for you, will be killed by the gods. Only one of them can survive."

Ai Li was stunned: "Huh?"

"Yes, think about it. Lord Rusalka of the Pearl Tear, to seek justice for you, he traveled across the world, even across mountains and rivers, to come to Esterlun to speak to the Council and pray to the gods for a fair trial." Sanita put his hands behind his back and slowly walked around Ai Li. "Do you know why?"

Before Ai Li could reply, Sanitta interrupted her, saying, "No, you don't. You only know how to protect yourself. Oh, how will future generations judge this? A brave knight bravely stepped forward to protect a young nun being bullied by a dragon, drawing his sword and fighting. Yet, when he needed the nun's healing most, she retreated because she couldn't bring herself to kill the dragon.

"As a result, the knight died."

"But it doesn't matter. That knight was so kind. Even before his death, he didn't blame the nun. He only hoped that because of his sacrifice, she could completely let go of the past and happily embrace her beautiful new life."

"Actually, Rusalka knew everything and had already prepared for sacrifice. He even specifically told me not to follow you. After you secretly followed me, he told me not to come looking for you and to pretend I didn't know about it, simply because he didn't want to put too much pressure on you."

"But I still came because I didn't want his sacrifice to be in vain, Rei. He did so much for you, and what did you do?"

"You dare not point your sword at your enemy, so who is the knight's fault?"

Ai Li felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing what Sanitieta said. His heart felt as if it was filled with lead and became extremely heavy. He was suddenly at a loss: "I..."

Sanitita reached out and patted Ai Li's shoulder, whispering, "Little Ai Li, of course I understand you. Your kindness has made you who you are today. Okay, let me tell you a little secret. Before this trip, Rusalka actually told me that he had a shield ring in a locked drawer in the Silver City Lord's Mansion."

"He said that if he survived this time, he would personally hand it to you and protect you for the rest of your life. But if he didn't survive, he asked me to give it to you, saying that if you were in danger, it could replace him and protect you one last time."

After saying that, Sanita waved goodbye, leaving Ai Li no time to ask questions or think.

Very good, everything is ready, take it.

Elsewhere, Rusalka, who had no idea what Sanita had done and had never had the habit of checking the message logs in the private chat channel, was interacting with Vishas by the pond.

Rusalka yelled, "Fish!"

Weishas jumped out of the water, raised her arms and fins above her head in the air, and responded with great energy: "Here!"

"Okay, very spirited!"

So she received a loaf of bread as a reward from the satisfied Rusalka.

Sanita teleported over, frowning as he looked at him and the elves who were also eager to try and interact with Weishas. "No, what the hell are you doing?"

"As you can see, I'm cultivating the bond between me and the elves in my deck."

"That's good. Seeing you and the elves playing together, I feel like the world might really be right."

"Why, you're so aggressive right away?"

"When we set off tomorrow morning, the Esterlen councilors will definitely not let Rewi Alley reach the Twin Towers so easily. They'll definitely make things difficult for him." Sunita paused. "Even in the worst case scenario, the thugs in the news are actually Qi Weiya's thugs, and they'll attack Rewi Alley directly outside the venue."

Rusalka didn't take it seriously at all. In his opinion, a forceful breakthrough was simply a joke: "A few divisions, and you dare to challenge my Rusalka's defense line?"

Sanita patted the latter's head with his mage hand. "Brother, if they can't beat you, can they beat Rewi Alley? And no one said that Rewi Alley must die to be considered a success. If I were the opponent, I would definitely use those random teleportation scrolls or sealing spells on Rewi Alley. You can't intercept such point-to-point magic, right? Then just prevent Rewi Alley from reaching the Divine Judgment area near the Twin Towers within the specified time. Can't you copy all your resistances to Rewi Alley?"

Rusalka felt that what Sanitieta said made some sense, and said angrily: "Ah! Despicable wizard! Ah! Weak priest!"

Sanitta waved his hand. "That's right. That's why they say that in the world of magic, there are endless methods. No one can predict the outcome until the moment of decision. But luckily, I have a good plan."

Rusalka felt troubled. "Another plan. I'm already exhausted from the previous meeting. Please, I think it's very mentally taxing to attack the opponent with bad jokes. Can you please execute this plan of the void game for me? I see that you don't seem to have anything to do lately anyway."

"Do you want me to fight in the battle?"

"Tell me the plan in detail. I'm all ears!"

----

The court date arrived as scheduled.

Early in the morning, Rusalka, Eli, Hydra, and Phoenix rode in a carriage and, surrounded by a large group of guards, arrived at the gate of the Free City and prepared to enter the city.

The law enforcers at the gate stopped the convoy and said, "Excuse me, everyone. Today is a special day. Also, there have been a number of homeless people committing crimes in Liberty City lately. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, only those who have been invited can enter the city."

Hydra frowned. "But we are here to hold court. Are you trying to prevent someone invited by the gods from entering?"

"No, no, no, of course not."

"Let me explain. Good morning, nice to meet you again, Your Majesty the Grand Duke of Pearl Tears."

Looking through the open carriage window, the leading executive officer was still her old acquaintance, Deya. She smiled and said to Rusalka, "You, and your two Filin wives."

Hydra interrupted, "I'm not."

"Oh, sorry. Anyway, both of you from the Filin tribe can enter. And this is Miss Ai Li, right? Of course, you can enter too."

"I'm sorry about the others, but it doesn't matter. I will personally lead the law enforcement team to escort you all the way to the Twin Towers. This is our responsibility. You don't have to worry about your safety. If you feel uneasy, we can sign a protection contract for your review."

"After all, we also expect you to bring a true statement to the entire Esterlen."

She handed in a contract. Judging from the content, it was indeed a contract that used the lives and duties of these people as collateral, swearing to protect Rusalka and her group's safety on the road. There was no problem at all.

Rusalka wanted to say something, but Ai Li interrupted him with his hand and nodded silently.

Four people got off the car, but the space inside Estrom's armed alchemy car was very small, and only two people could stay in the small compartment isolated by the magic-forbidden stone. After allocation, Phoenix accompanied Arie in one car, and Rusalka sat in another car with Hydra.

The two cars, led by Rushaka in front and Ai Li in the back, were escorted by a group of more than thirty law enforcers and Daiya herself as the executive officer, and they slowly headed towards the Twin Towers.

After about 10 minutes, the sea was calm.

Rusalka: (It feels so quiet! There are no Esterlen people on the streets. It's so different from Sneedi.)

Sanita replied helplessly: (Haha, probably all the combat forces in Liberty City have been transferred away.)

Rusalka: (I'm also a Paladin.)

Just as he was thinking this, two carriages passed through an intersection, and suddenly a rune array appeared under their feet, teleporting the following carriages and the surrounding guards to an area symmetrical with the twin towers in the center of the city as the base point!

Sanita listened to Rusalka's report and glanced at the bird's-eye view of Liberty City. It was clear that the streets were interconnected, forming a magical pattern representing space. His brow furrowed. (It seems this isn't a coincidence. The so-called portal teleportation is just a cover. The entire city is actually under the control of Chief Judge Mo Wujue.)

Hydra's voice came from the car: "What happened?"

"The rear team seems to have been ambushed and teleported to the opposite side!"

Hydra was silent for a moment, then looked at Rusalka beside him. "It's okay, Phoenix can protect her. Let's move on and meet up near the Twin Towers."

As she finished speaking, black fog spread and Phoenix walked out of it, sitting quietly beside Hydra.

Rusalka on the opposite side clasped her fingers together and placed them on her chest in a prayer gesture.

----

In a flash, the moment the rear car was teleported to the ground, a black square alchemical car with 8 wheels, which had been prepared, immediately rushed over with a roar, heavily crushed the law enforcers around who had not yet reacted, and directly knocked over the security car carrying Ai Li and Phoenix.

The black iron box opened, and at least 20 thugs wearing iron masks and holding weapons jumped out. A large number of explosives were also thrown from the surrounding corners and buildings. In just one round, the surrounding law enforcement team, who were caught off guard and had never expected to encounter such a large-scale attack in the Free City, were almost wiped out.

The iron-masked man in the lead was holding a magic-powered chainsaw in his hand, rapidly cutting through the thick protective carriage. Sparks flew everywhere, and it was obvious that the carriage, which had been reinforced countless times, was being cut open bit by bit.

"Haha, Miss Ai Li inside, it's our first meeting. Don't be afraid, I'll set you free soon."

Before he could finish his words, the entire carriage door made a loud bang, like a pressure cooker exploding, and was blasted into the sky, carrying the chainsaw in his loose hand with it, flying more than ten meters high.
