Kainlaur and... That Man
(Today is the last day of the annual Peak Rankings voting. Friends who haven't voted yet, hurry up and cast your vote! Thank you so much for your support. The top ten at the end of the month will get an extra chapter!)
I didn't slack off at all this month, updating 175,000 words in 30 days. This is probably my most diligent month since I started writing novels. I've fulfilled my promise, and November has come to a perfect end! (bows)
The three opened their eyes at the same time and found themselves in a bedroom that resembled the Grand Inquisition. Traces of Order were everywhere, and the imprints of the Grand Inquisition were all over the place.
Their state is due to the effect of the Dream-Peeking Candle. Similar to the Dream-Peeking Ranger when spying on others' dreams, they are in a wandering state, which means they cannot be discovered by the people in the dream, but they also cannot actively leave the sight of the Memory's original body too far.
Because this is Chenosli's dream, they are floating around Chenosli.
The first-ranking Adjudicator stood in the center of the room, his face grave, gripping another man's shoulder, and said in a low, excited voice:
"I can only trust you now. The teacher could not possibly be a blasphemer. He must have discovered something!"
But Lord Essares wouldn't listen to any arguments or allow any appeals, insisting that the teacher had desecrated the Order. I... I still can't accept it!
The man opposite him frowned. "So what do you want to do?"
"I want to..." Chenosli hesitated for a moment, but then his eyes hardened. "I want to bypass the Supreme Court and ask Him directly for confirmation!"
"Are you crazy!" The man opposite him grabbed Chenosli with his hand, about to scold him, but then lowered his voice and scolded, "Have you forgotten how Lord Laquis was locked up?"
How could you use the same method to provoke the Supreme Court!
Wake up, Chenosli! You are the son of [Order], the successor chosen by Lord Essares. If what you've done is discovered—no, it will definitely be discovered!
He will strip you of your successor status, and your teacher will personally lock you in the Wailing Iron Prison!
You're betraying the Order, do you know that?!
Chenosli's expression Change wildly, and he was unable to calm down for a long time. But after taking a few deep breaths, the resolute look in his eyes became even more determined.
"But what if... as the teacher said, something happens to Him...?"
"Chenosli! Watch your words!" The man grabbed him, glanced at the door in alarm, and then pulled him into a deeper inner room, shouting in a lower voice, "How could He be in trouble! How could He be in trouble?"
He is the foundation of all worldly Order, the source of fairness and Justice in the Cosmos; He is God! It is [He]! He is our Lord of Grace!
How could you question your own Lord of Grace!
Chenosli said solemnly, "The teacher said He..."
"Enough! You'd rather question your Lord of Grace than your teacher. Isn't it possible that Lord Laquis is wrong?!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"You..." The man paused, then quickly said with a hint of anger, "Yes, yes, Lord Laquis is never wrong, but have you ever thought that Lord Kainlaur might be wrong?"
Could Lord Essares be wrong?
My teacher, Lord Altare, could you be wrong?
Could all three of them make the same mistake at the same time?!
"..." This sentence silenced Chenosli.
Indeed, he considered all three equally dignified and Justice.
"Can..."
"And Lidyaala, as my lord's sharpest eye, did not refute Lord Essares's judgment on the spot, which means... means..."
The man fell silent as he spoke. Clearly, it was extremely difficult for him to say that Lord Laquis, the most Justice Grand Inquisition, had committed blasphemy. He also couldn't believe that it had happened, but the facts were the facts, and he couldn't refute the judgment of the High Inquisition.
"Heh, you don't believe it either, right?"
Chenosli gave a bitter laugh, then immediately regained his previous resolve.
"I have to try, this is my only chance!"
"You..." The man's expression was complicated. He understood the other man and knew that once this senior in front of him made a decision, no one could dissuade him.
Chenosli's gaze grew even more determined.
"If Order can be questioned, then it should give everyone the right to defend themselves."
If [Order] cannot be questioned, then it... is already in trouble.
I cannot believe that my teacher, the most Justice and Grand Justicar in the world, would so blaspheme against His Lord of Grace.
I also do not believe that my Lord of Grace, the most noble and exalted Order in the Cosmos, could have problems.
Therefore, I must personally uncover the truth of this matter, and not let His brilliance fail to shine into the filthy corners of the Supreme Court!
"... How filthy and disgusting! Even you've started to imagine unfairness. Ha, how ironic."
"..." Chenosli paused, then grabbed the other's arm again. "I need your help, Morkius. Will you... help me?"
Indeed, the man opposite Chenosli was his junior, Morkius.
When Cheng Shi realized that the other person was Morkius, his eyes widened in disbelief.
It's him!
The son of Order who inherited the Grand Inquisition's "Moment of Execution"!
It turns out that the title of "Son of Order" originally belonged to Chenosli, but it was given to him after Chenosli's accident.
Cheng Shi's surprised reaction caught Hong Lin's attention. She raised an eyebrow, leaned closer, and asked, "Do you know him?"
"Morkius, who succeeded Chenosli as the Son of Order after his disappearance, is hailed as the future star of the Grand Inquisition Adjudicator the second candidate for Chief Judge Essares."
Sadly, he died young while investigating a case concerning the Natural Alliance within the territory of the Grand Inquisition.
They also lost the legendary scepter of the Grand Inquisition, the [Moment of Execution].
These words were not spoken by Cheng Shi, but by Li Jingming, who was standing to the side. Although he was facing Chenosli and watching the developments on the field, his Ear were perked up, receiving information from the surroundings like antennas. Once a question was asked, he would give the answer without hesitation, just like a narrator in a movie.
Cheng Shi was somewhat moved. He had to admit that this Dragon King was indeed very knowledgeable; he seemed to know almost all of Isle of Hope's history.
Fortunately, judging from his appearance, he didn't know that he was the one who killed Morkius and the one who stole the [Moment of Execution].
However, to be fair, at this point, the "Moment of Execution"... was probably still in the Grand Inquisition?
If we find it, wouldn't that mean we've collected the entire [Thunderclap] Divinity?
Cheng Shi's eyes suddenly turned somewhat fiery. Could they really exploit such a bug?!
Oh right, this is a dream... Never mind, I shouldn't dream anymore.
His lips twitched slightly, and he nodded, acknowledging the Dragon King's expertise in history. Then he leaned closer to Hong Lin and whispered, "Could he be the leader of the History School?"
"Huh? You didn't know?" Hong Lin was slightly surprised.
Oh no, what do I need to know?
"He wasn't even considered a member of the History School, because the founder of the History School refused to let him join."
"Huh? Why? No, who else understands history better than the Chosen of God of Memory? Has the History School gone mad? They won't even accept someone like this?"
Hong Lin's expression turned somewhat strange. She glanced at Li Jingming and chuckled softly:
"The History School isn't crazy, but this has nothing to do with understanding history, but it does have something to do with Faith."
Because their leader is...
Zhen Xin.
"???" Cheng Shi was stunned, exclaiming in surprise, "Who!?"
