Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire

"Holy Dragon!"

The priest in a plain white robe stood at the edge of the square, staring at the golden dragon that was about to fly, his eyes full of scrutiny.

The girl he had just seen was undoubtedly problematic. The girl who was born with a defective heart repaired this defect overnight and had a stronger heart.

There is no doubt that there must be a certain existence that favored this girl and bestowed a favor on her.

But he couldn't figure out what kind of existence would bestow a favor on such an ordinary and ordinary girl. Although her experience was indeed sympathetic, what could she offer? It was not worth it at all.

Except for the holy dragon, only he would bestow such a favor on mortals. But he could be sure that this golden dragon did not descend on Delvale, so how did he do this?

"False God!"

Byrne's eyes became sharp in an instant. There are some things that even legendary wizards cannot do. Only ignorant transcendents who try to trample on the realm of gods and obtain immortality can do it, such as ignoring the distance of time and space and bestowing blessings.

After thinking that he had seen some truth, the holy dragon statue made by the top carving master became different in his eyes.

He felt that the holy statue seemed to come alive. It was no longer a work of art representing some kind of worship, but a blasphemous statue of a false god.

"This matter must be reported to the bishop!"

Although as a full-time true god pastor, he should destroy such blasphemous things when he sees them, but considering his current position and environment, as a small pastor, it is better for him to report it and let the big shots above have a headache.

"My territory relief policy is still not perfect!"

Noah did not feel complacent because of his first projection of consciousness, using the word spirit, and then creating a devout follower.

Instead, he began to be alert to his own governance. Although he thought he did a good job, in fact, he was still standing too high, so that the difficulties and hardships of the bottom could not appear in front of him.

Even the fairies who served him only wanted to show him the best side, rather than presenting the messy things at the bottom to him.

A girl like Connie, who has received some care and upbringing, but still lives in extreme hardship, is afraid that even the fairies around him don't know her existence.

She is too sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. She is not pretending on the surface. She really doesn't want to cause trouble to anyone and doesn't want to be a burden.

She doesn't have much negative emotions in her heart. Even if such a person falls on the street one day due to congenital defects, she won't have much resentment in her heart.

Even Noah's golden tree will not receive much feedback, and Noah can't sense her existence. How many children like this are there in his territory?

Noah doesn't know, but he wants to try to solve it.

As for the price of saving such a child, for Noah, it is almost nothing, because when Noah reshaped Connie's heart, he used the power of faith that she contributed when she prayed devoutly on weekdays.

That is a very high-quality power of faith, and the impurities in it are almost zero. It is precisely because of this that she has obtained an extremely strong heart. To some extent, she also saved herself.

"Let me see what sufferings the people still have."

Noah put his consciousness into a torch of faith farther away. This time, the taste made Noah even more uncomfortable, because this time it was not an independent statue, but a portrait painted on the dome. At this moment, he became a dragon in the painting.

But even so, Noah still maintained his awareness of his surroundings. At this moment, his consciousness descended on a court with rather old facilities. A case was being tried below, and all the details were in sight.

This was a case of torture and dismemberment that was not convenient to make public. The nature of the case was quite bad. Noah's consciousness learned the details of the case by reading the files.

The criminal had bullied the victim for a long time. Not long ago, he tortured him cruelly for seven hours. After killing him, he dismembered him roughly and buried him in a hurry.

Because the criminal did not intend to murder, and was not familiar with methods such as hiding the body after killing. Therefore, after the victim's family reported the case, the case was quickly solved.

The dismembered remains of the deceased were soon found, and the criminals were quickly caught. The local court quickly began to try the case, but it was slow to come to a final verdict.

Because the victim and the criminal were in different social classes and had a large gap in status, the criminals were not one person, but a group. Each of their parents had a very respectable status, and one of them was related to the local nobles.

Unlike the criminals, the parents of the teenager who was bullied for a long time and was eventually tortured and dismembered were just local farmers. It can be said that they had no power and no background.

Therefore, the trial result of this case was full of unknowns and uncertainties.

According to the basic consensus that the murderer should pay with his life, all those who participated in bullying and dismembered the victim should be punished and sentenced to death by hanging.

But the problem is that all the participants are children. According to the provisions of the Golden Dragon Code, young people who commit crimes can be given a lighter sentence and a chance to reform.

This is to put part of the sentencing power in the hands of the judge and give the judge a certain degree of discretion. The purpose is to enable the judge to make a more fair judgment based on the actual situation.

However, judges are also human beings, and they also have their own emotions and desires, and they will also be affected by external things. What's more, this is a comparison between one human life and seven human lives, so the death penalty is basically impossible.

Boom!

The judge sitting at the top made the final judgment after many adjournments for deliberation.

"According to the Sacred Golden Dragon Code. This court made the following verdict. The first offender, Jaros Byrne, because his parents did not provide him with good discipline, which resulted in his lack of judgment and cognition, accidentally suffocated his friend to death while playing with him. .

After the incident, he was sentenced to seven years in prison and suspended for three years because of his good attitude in pleading guilty and sincere repentance. In view of his young age and timely payment of 30 gold coins for repentance.

Collaborator Claude... was sentenced to three years in prison with three years of probation due to his young age and his parents' payment of fifty penitential gold coins.

The collaborator... paid sixty penitential gold coins and was sentenced to one year, with imprisonment suspended for one year.

…

In the end, Raven Cloud, after investigation, watched the whole process and did not participate in it, so he was found not guilty. "

The loud voice of the judge pronouncing the final verdict echoed in the court. A middle-aged couple sitting in the plaintiff's seat had different expressions. The man with a face as rough as loess sat silently, without saying a word. The women cried and cried,

"My child, he is only fifteen years old, what is wrong with him?"

"Why did he suffer such a fate?"

"Why won't these demons get any punishment?"

Anyone with normal intelligence can hear that the judge's sentence is closely related to the amount of penance money. The more the penitence money paid, the lighter the crime. The last child with an aristocratic background did not even have to pay the penitence money. He was acquitted on the spot.

Facing the woman's cries, the judge just frowned and tapped the hammer gently.

"Quiet! No unreasonable noise is allowed in the courtroom."

In the dock, those children with rather immature faces began to chat and laugh with their well-dressed parents, laughing and joking, not caring at all about the women's cries.

The men with calm faces were expressionless at the judge's verdict just now, without even a decent smile. This was an expected result for them, because they had paid enough penance money.

"Don't do this."

The farmer at the plaintiff's table stretched out his rough palm to grab the crying woman, and then whispered in her ear,

"They promised to pay us thirty gold coins as compensation."

With such a simple sentence, the peasant woman's cry became much quieter. For the farmer, it was a huge amount of compensation for a year, which was far more effective than the judge's warning.

"The plaintiff and the defendant, this court has announced that it is over. Who has any objection to the verdict?"

The defendant, who was basically acquitted and did not have to go to jail, naturally didn't care, but the farmer, who was the plaintiff, was silent, and the woman was still sobbing, but she also didn't say a word.

Although the loss of one child made her very heartbroken, the compensation of thirty gold coins can make the other children live a better life, and can also buy more fields, whether renting or farming, which can improve their families. condition.

In this silence, the group of teenagers who tortured and dismembered one of their peers laughed with their parents and began to discuss where to have dinner and have fun afterward. They had a strong visual impact with the crying peasant woman, but there was no one there. care.

"Both parties have no objections."

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the farmer's family, the chubby judge picked up the verdict and stood up. He went through the final step of the process under the hovering golden dragon icon behind him.

"Then, under the witness of the Holy Dragon, this court declares that the verdict is..."

boom--

A bolt of dark thunder suddenly condensed from mid-air, and then descended. In an instant, the verdict in the judge's hand and the legal platform in front of him were shattered into pieces.

ah! ! !

The judge let out a scream and kept wailing, because his palms were also rubbed by the lightning, and his hands turned into charcoal. The unspeakable pain made his body begin to tremble violently, and he couldn't help but collapse on the chair. on the ground, wailing like a slaughtering pig.

"Someone attacked the judge!"

"Who dares to storm the court?"

"Martial law! Martial law in the whole court!"

The sudden change made the bailiffs, who were just pretending at first, suddenly become nervous, and the sharp whistles soon attracted the local defense forces.

This is a town far away from Elisium and located around the Valley of Fire. Because it is located in the wilderness, it requires considerable defensive strength.

However, after the garrison team rushed over after learning of the abnormality in the courtroom, none of the members, including the captain, dared to move.

Because they saw black flames burning on the dome, and the golden holy dragon hovering above the dome began to move.

"Holy Dragon!"

With an uncontrollable exclamation, the stone powder fell, and in the dome, the Holy Dragon, which was originally just a mural, came to life completely.

The judge who was originally wailing and screaming did not dare to make a sound at this moment. A huge amount of sweat rolled down from his body and soaked the dragon pattern robe on his body, but he did not dare to say anything at this moment. There was a sound, because an invisible field had enveloped the court, shocking the entire audience.

"I have objections to the verdict in this case."

The stone dragon, lingering in the dark flames but only about 20 meters tall, landed in the courtroom and looked at the judge who dared not speak. Then he turned his head and looked at the defendants with fear and uneasiness in their eyes.

"I declare that the verdict in this case is invalid!"

Noah really couldn't bear the ending of this case. A group of teenagers with certain assets and backgrounds collectively tortured and killed a farmer's son. The farmer was forced by family embarrassment and could not bear the temptation of money, so he chose to accept compensation and no longer pursue the case.

Such a verdict may already reflect the superiority of the Golden Dragon Territory System. After all, the death of a farmer's son can actually cause a group of decent people to bleed.

Even if you have an aristocratic background, you still have to go through the court, even if it is just to show off. This is absolutely impossible to happen in lands outside the Golden Dragon territory.

When can it be considered a crime for nobles to torture and kill peasants? It should be an honor for a farmer to be chosen by a noble and be able to provide temporary pleasure to the noble. This group of untouchables and mud-legged people should feel honored for this.

This kind of thinking and understanding is the mainstream.

Therefore, to be honest, such a verdict is relatively fair. People with considerable social status and assets in the local area paid the price, and the farmer who lost his son also received what they considered a huge amount of compensation. .

Although it is sad to lose a son, they still have more children to raise, and the living should not bear the price for the dead.

Therefore, this is a verdict that satisfies many parties and can fully reflect the advancement and superiority of the Golden Dragon Law.

The only thing that was not taken care of was an innocent young man who died tragically, and a farmer's son who could no longer speak and complained about his grievances and what happened to him.

Such flaws are difficult to notice. Under the accumulation of many cases, this case will soon be submerged and forgotten.

It's a pity that the will of the Holy Dragon happened to be here today and witnessed the trial with his own eyes. Such flaws are intolerable for the dragon who pursues perfection.
