39 Episode 7 What is the Son of God? (1/2)

”Malbus!　Heal the wounded.

Malvus, the Great Spirit of Healing and Craft.

He is the spirit with whom Lucanos has made a contract.

His ability is healing, or curing.

Malvus' abilities healed the burns, the injuries from the brawl, and the wounds of Patriarch Alektia who had been kicked in the face by Hercule.

You don't have to heal the last one.

”That's not how it works, sir.

Lucanos smiled bitterly.

Hercule kicked Patriarch Alektia out of the way and ordered his soldiers to ”throw this trash in jail.

Erkül kicked the healed Patriarch Aletheia and ordered the soldiers to throw him in jail.

”Are you sure?　You're the Patriarch. ......

You're dismissed. When I say ”dismissed,” you say ”dismissed. This is my country, remember?

Unfortunately, the Lemurian Empire is such a country.

It's also known as the rule of man.

Laws?

The word of the emperor is law.

I don't care about this garbage. More importantly, the library. Are the books safe?

I checked, but the damage is minimal. About 20% burned down. ......

Twenty percent burned?

Twenty percent burned.

This means that 20% of the books that Hercule was supposed to read were burned.

”d*mn ......, you've got to be kidding me. ......

Hercule glared at the former Patriarch of Alexandria as he was dragged away.

If this man had not burned, none of this would have happened.

”Oh, uh, .......

Oh?

Hiiii!

The girl who spoke to Hercule cowered.

What? I'm not in a good mood right now. ......

I can do ......, okay?

What?

It's a book. ...... I remember ...... what it says. ...... There's a ...... branch library. There's also a ...... manuscript hidden away. ...... Oh, ...... I can recover it. Maybe ......

Really!

Hiiii!　I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Hercule grabs the girl by the shoulders and shakes her violently.

The girl shakes her head several times, shaking uncontrollably.

The girl shakes her head several times.

Her body is small.

Her face, on closer inspection, was quite pretty, and not unlike that of an elf.

And the most impressive thing is the fox ears and silver hair on her head.

She also has large breasts.

Not as big as Scheherazade's, but D, maybe E. Excellent.

”The Warbeast ...... is also a celestial fox.

Yes, I'm ......, a celestial fox.

What's your name?

I'm a warbeast ...... and a celestial fox ....... - What's your name? - Hupatia ....... I'm the director of the Arrector's Library ...... and the principal of the school ....... I'm ...... twenty years old. ......

No, I didn't ask your age.

I'm not asking your age, but Hupatia sounds like the kind of name that would get you killed by a shell shaving your flesh off.

I'm not asking for your age,” Hercule thought, but didn't say it.

”Just out of curiosity, are you Messianic?

Huh?　No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Well, it doesn't matter. Gather your fellow scholars and restore it. I'll give you all the money you need.

Then Hupatia's ears perked up.

Are you sure?

Really, really. The emperor never lies.

Yes, yes, yes!　I understand!

Hupatia ran away at once.

Hercule saw her off and went to ......

”Let's make a bunch of codices and take them to Nova Lemuria. We only have one book to begin with, so we'll be in trouble if it burns.

Hmm, I think I just heard a word that the Patriarch of Nova Lemuria cannot overlook: ......

Pretend you didn't hear that.

Yes, I understand. Your Majesty.

Loukanos smiled bitterly.

”So, Your Majesty. How do you judge that thing?

”What? ...... Oh, the former Patriarch of Aletheia. Well, the charges are already laid. The problem is the next Patriarch of Alexandria.

How would you feel about me taking over?

For a while, but I'm not going to give you that much power, am I?

I'm kidding. Your Majesty.

Lucanos laughed in amusement.

He's very happy that his political rival is dead. This man.

...... There are many problems with Messianism, aren't there?

Well, there are all kinds of Messianics. ......

Scheherazade and Carolina nodded their heads as they looked at the two bad guys.

I'm not sure what to say.　Why, why must I be judged?

Loukanos, tell them again.

”Yes, I understand. Your Majesty.

In the Patriarchate of Aletheia, the former Patriarch of Aletheia was being tried for causing this disturbance.

The Emperor himself was judging the former Patriarch of Aletheia.

To see such a rare sight, many people ...... from all walks of life, non-Messianic, Orthodox Messianic, and Alexian Messianic, crowded into the audience.

Trials in the Lemurian Empire were basically open trials.

The people could see and hear.

”One!　Arson.

Even if it's a demon building, a pagan building, or a heretical building, the fact is that you set it on fire.

This is a crime of arson.

This time, the fire was quickly put out, but it could have spread to the city and caused a huge fire. And there were many casualties.

No matter what the reason, the fact is that the fire was set. There's no excuse.

Arson is a capital offense.

That's it. Do you understand?

No, I don't agree!　I'm the devil. ......

Let me put it to you this way. You set fire to the city where the emperor resides. If you're not careful, the fire could have spread to the governor's office and I could have been burned to death. What about that?　You're not saying that the fire you started is a clean fire that only burns pagans, are you?　Well, if that's the case, I'll burn you. It won't burn, will it?

In the Lemurian Empire, arson is a crime worse than murder.

In the Lemurian Empire, arson is a crime more serious than murder. If it goes wrong, it could lead to a fire that could destroy the country.

Therefore, it cannot be tolerated.

Patriarch Alexia could not say anything and kept silent.

Patriarch Alektia is unable to say anything and remains silent.

”Number two, illegal accumulation.

A large amount of gold coins have been seized from the home of the former Patriarch of Alexandria. This is an unbelievable amount considering his income as Patriarch of Alexandria. It has been discovered that he had been accumulating the money through illegal trials. ...... Isn't that right?

Yes, I do. Patriarch ...... No, the former Patriarch was indeed illegally accumulating money. It's all documented here by me.

”Deacon ......, you .......

The former Patriarch of Alexandria glared at the deacon on the witness stand, but the deacon was having none of it.

I stopped him. It's your fault,” he says.

Number three, illegal private punishment.

Many heretics and infidels are put to death by illegal trials. It is true that the Inquisition is an authority granted to the Patriarch. But the Patriarch is only allowed to decide whether or not someone is a heretic. Judicial power belongs to the Emperor. This is a violation of imperial authority.

...... In fact, the scope of the Patriarch's jurisdiction is not clearly defined.

Since it is still under dispute, it is not illegal for a former Patriarch of Alexandria to condemn a heretic to death, but it is not ......

But it is not legal either.

Lukács stated the charges without hesitation.

Everything was decided beforehand with Hercule.

And ......

Therefore, you shall be blinded, your ears and nose shall be cut off, and you shall be beheaded.

Wait, please!　Your Majesty, I am, I am ！！！！

Die, you bastard!

Suck it!

Avenge your father!

The non-Messianic people in the audience and the Messianic people of the 'Alexian School' throw stones at the screaming former Patriarch of Alexandria.

It seems that he was quite resentful.
