Chapter 38 The Great Judgment

The Krytan Imperial Cabinet is located not far from the Imperial Palace.

But there is not much communication between the two.

The factions in the cabinet and the imperial power have their own interests, and they have been in turmoil for thousands of years.

As the highest authority in the empire, strict guarding is the minimum requirement.

After showing the cabinet badge, Lu Ming still went through layers of confirmation that it was Lu Ming himself who was allowed to enter.

This also made Lu Ming feel a little bit lucky. If he used the appearance of Andrews or others before, he might not even be able to enter the cabinet now.

There is actually an aura among the guards that is not weaker than Waynes. This is just the power on the surface. I don't know how many masters are hidden secretly.

Just like the dignitaries watching Lu Ming, all of them seem to be pampered, but many of them are possessors of extraordinary abilities.

Perhaps due to talent or other reasons, it is still relatively difficult for these nobles with extraordinary abilities to be promoted to mid-level professionals.

But there are definitely not many low-level peaks, third-level professionals, among this group of people.

Lu Ming, who had been completely sold by Anis or Carl, just used his first-level strength to force himself to be surrounded by various second- and third-level professionals.

"Dang...dang...dang..." In the specific seat, Lu Ming didn't know how long he had waited, and the huge copper bell that had been hanging in the cabinet since its establishment rang thirteen times in a row.

Its meaning represents the twelve nobles and royal families.

I don't know the origin of the bell. Anyway, after the bell was heard, everyone present became serious. Lu Ming didn't know whether he was affected by the bell or the atmosphere, and he became a little nervous.

In this tense and solemn environment, a chuckle suddenly came out, the sound was not loud, but it was unusually noticeable.

"They all have a straight face. Is this a class in an academy? Children."

Then, ignoring the angry eyes cast by the nobles who were the audience, he took a step back and let the passage out: "The following is our dear Dean Scaudik to preside over this class."

"Anis, please maintain your aristocratic demeanor when you are in the cabinet!" Scaudik, who was ridiculed, was also a middle-aged man from a noble family.

He even owns a county fief and is one of the top nobles in the empire.

And this time the big trial was presided over by Skodick.

"Yeah, when you're in the cabinet, it's up to you!" Anis replied indifferently.

Coming out after Scoudick was another protagonist of this trial conference, Ramon Eusta.

Although Ramon was accused of a series of crimes such as spreading poisonous flowers, stealing the chalice, slaughtering skritts, and colluding with bandit centaurs to murder nobles, he was then placed under house arrest for two days.

But he didn't seem to be worried at all. It seemed that the evidence collected by Lu Ming and Anis had nothing to do with him.

Ramon didn't even take a second look at Lu Ming, but cast a reassuring look at Waynes who was watching.

The protagonists of the big trial had already arrived, and Scoudick didn't say anything nonsense, and got straight to the point.

"Lu Ming, confirm again whether you want to accuse Ramon Eusta of committing the following crimes: spreading poisonous flowers, theft..."

"If the evidence is insufficient, you will be sentenced to falsely accuse the nobles and be hanged!"

"You can also give up your testimony against Ramon Eustace now, but as punishment, you need to cut out your tongue and chop off your hands."

"I confirm!" Not to mention that Lu Ming had made up his mind a long time ago, the harsh punishment alone made Lu Ming decide to go all the way to the dark.

"Does the above testimony only represent you personally?" Scoudick continued to ask and glanced at the nobles who were watching, and Lu Ming's eyes did not linger too much on Anis: "Only represent my personal testimony of Ramon's crimes." !"

After Lu Ming answered, Scodick's voice became louder and louder: "The grand trial is established, please Lu Ming to show the evidence!"

"Slow!" A sudden voice came.

"I demand the implementation of the oldest noble law of the Kryta Empire!"

"Conduct this trial by means of a duel!"

"Duel!" A nobleman onlookers exclaimed.

This is the oldest piece of law in the Kryta Empire. Between the plaintiff and the defendant, the nobles with higher status have the right to use the two-person duel to resolve the trial.

The strength of the two parties in the duel cannot differ by two ranks.

Once this kind of duel is issued, it will be an endless situation.

Generally speaking, this kind of duel is only applied for when nobles with higher status have the ability to crush.

If the other party is also an aristocrat, you can apply to cancel this trial under such circumstances.

If the other party is a commoner like Lu Ming, then he can only bite the bullet and take over the duel.

After Ramon said to apply for a duel, the entire cabinet was full of voices discussing this law.

Lu Ming also understood why Anis made such a surprise move to increase her personal strength.

She also understood the reason why she didn't play, because Anis's strength far surpassed Ramon's. In this case, Ramon would not choose this law.

On the contrary, they might take advantage of other loopholes, and Lu Ming only has a first-level strength, so this kind of duel is almost a sure win for Ramon.

Choosing a duel is easier than ever.

This situation is also a strategy for Anis.

After going through this trial, if Anis submits a request for trial again, according to the laws of the empire, Ramon will no longer be able to read the ancient law clauses.

Each noble can only apply for the implementation of the ancient law once a year.

Everything fell into Anis's plan. As far as this trial is concerned, everyone is happy, except for Lu Ming!

After ordering the servants to dig out the ancient law for reconfirmation, Scaudik's loud voice came again: "According to ancient laws and customs, the cabinet accepts your request!"

"Now, please confirm the strength of both parties!"

Under Scoudick's order, two guards in cloth armor suddenly walked out from the shadows, and handed a psychic testing instrument to Lu Ming and Ramon.

Under the watchful eye of the guards, Lu Ming input the psionic energy into this instrument. The psionic energy testing instrument is a screen made of blue crystal, on which a few nata words emerged after twisting: "First-order illusionist. "

And the result of Ramon's test is: "A third-order elementalist."

"The strength difference between the two sides is two levels, and Ramon will be sealed with one level of strength."

As soon as the voice fell, Anis came over first without waiting for the guard's reaction: "Let me help Lord Ramon seal it."

Before Ramon could refuse, the psionic energy that belonged exclusively to Anis rushed towards Ramon.

Ramon, whose first-level strength was sealed, turned pale, and tested again: "Second-level elementalist."
