Chapter 16 Elizabeth
"As long as it is a place of chaotic pollution, I have absolute power." Elizabeth looked at the collapsed long table, just raised her eyebrows slightly, and continued, "Here I am above any law of the empire. All your rights will be put aside, and those rights will not return to you until your purity is determined after the trial. And the achievements you mentioned before, what you have done, your contribution to the empire, and your status, all of which don't mean much to us. By the way, the Dark Raven Guard Corps has long been gone, and your identity is meaningless.
"How can it be," Li was shocked. "He won't let this happen."
"In fact, it was the raven that caused all this. After the rebellion, the raven guard was almost completely destroyed. Although the raven was very powerful, it could not restore your regiment to its heyday. Moreover, it is rumored that the operation of the raven guard has great defects, and the success rate is less than 1%." Elizabeth looked at Lee and said, "You should know what this means. What kind of number is one percent? Can that be said to be an operation? It's like a massacre. There were not many suitable recruits. Most of them had to die in the operation, and then the crow guards were separated. After that, the raven also disappeared. Now I can hardly hear the news about the activities of the Dark Raven Old Group. What do you think will happen?
Li fell into silence. In his memory, the Raven Guard was so powerful that he had participated in countless epic battles and withstood countless cruel tests. In memory, there is no creature in the Milky Way that can stop the claws, victory or death of the crow. This is the motto of the crow, and the crow has not died in the cruel battle, because they have been winning. The raven, the founder of the battle group, is a god-like figure. He is noble, upright and intelligent. All the praise words that Robert can think of can be used on the raven, and his respect for the raven even surpasses the sacred emperor.
Li never believes that such a powerful crow will die like this, but what if what she said is true? There is not much reason, just a 1% success rate is enough to make it perish. One percent, what a terrible number this is, which means that it is extremely difficult for the Raven Guard to be replenished by new recruits, and war is always accompanied by consumption. When the supplement can't catch up with its consumption, it represents the demise of this combat group.
What's more, the raven is also missing.
Li lowered his head and sat weakly on the chair.
Elizabeth was very satisfied with the damage her words caused to Lee, so she decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue: "To tell you the truth, if it weren't for your previous achievements, our trial would never have stopped at rough words. The court is proficient in all kinds of cruel torture, which is that you won't want to taste. Something to try. You just need to understand that it's cruelty that you can't imagine. So I hope you can cooperate with our trial wisely. You know, once we determine that you have been polluted by chaos, what awaits you will be purification.
"Purification?"
"Of course, it was burned to ashes. And you should know that the so-called conclusion of 'confirming that you have been polluted by chaos' does not require too much evidence. As long as I am sure that you are polluted by chaos, then you are polluted. I just need to find a good reason, such as, well, for example, your handsome Face, obviously you have been cursed and changed. Your face is not like this.
"My face turned out to be darker, and my skin was not so smooth," Li touched his face and said with a little confidence, "I don't like my current appearance, but who hasn't seen the sun for nine thousand years?"
Judge Elizabeth looked at Li with a sneer. She observed the expression on Li's face by herself. Unfortunately, she did not find fear, panic, and other more interesting expressions on this handsome face.
He didn't care much about his life and death, but he showed obvious frustration because of the news of the regiment. For a while, Elizabeth also had some doubts about her judgment.
So after a long time, she changed into a slightly gentle tone and continued, "So, your initial whistle to me was extremely unwise, and any person on trial would know how to respect his judge. And you should know that the essence of sex is to be greedy for pleasure and indulge in sex. Your frivolous behavior will be one of the evidence of your depravity. I will record your initial performance in detail, and the final result is likely to be decided because of this.
Li Da opened his mouth and asked in disbelief, "You mean that I may be burned to death because of a whistle and my white face?"
"It's very likely," Elizabeth said seriously, "Because I come from the demon court, I have this power."
This is too ridiculous. What else can Li say? He had to put down some self-esteem and honor for the time being and cooperate with the work of these judges. In fact, it is not too difficult for Li. Although he also attaches great importance to honor, he has not yet reached the former Robert. The height of Li.
Lee has been with his mentor for 9,000 years. He knows very well about the Robert before he woke up. Li, but a real fanatic who takes "honor is my life" as one of his life creeds, is also a respected real knight. For that person, even in the face of death, he will not do anything that damages the honor of the war regiment.
And Li has to be more casual. It's naturally good to have more things like honor, but it's absolutely impossible to give up your life for a slogan or two, or for an "iron card". In fact, Li's idea is actually very dangerous. If others look at it kindly, then it can be said that he is open-minded and tactful. But if strictly according to the rules of this era, it is that one that does not value honor so much, and the loyalty to the emperor is questionable - the former is enough to keep Li away from most of the administrative machines and power structures of the empire, while the latter will indeed put Li in a very dangerous situation.
But anyway, the focus of this investigation team this time is not "whether Li is suspected of betraying the emperor", and even the two judges from the heretical court in the investigation team do not doubt it - this is simply beyond doubt. How about the battle heroes who woke up from the dreamy legendary era? What about betraying the emperor? Of course, according to the documentary record, these people may not be as devout to the emperor as their own. Until now, many interstellar land groups are also in this tone. They are loyal to the emperor, but they are not devout to the emperor. The knowledgeable judges knew that this was a fault caused by history and culture, so they had no doubt about Li's performance.
Those rude words and sharp questions from the two judges, all of which came from the instructions of Judge Elizabeth.
"The more cunning the demon is, the weaker it is. The cunning makes them smarter, and cleverness is synonymous with cowardice in a way. This is especially true for demons from 'irty'. Their essence is to indulge in sex and enjoy pleasure. So when those bastards from chaos find themselves in the heart of human beings, above the earth, find that his nemesis he soon met, from me in the demon court, and find that his whereabouts have been exposed and his identity has begun to be suspected, he will be afraid, afraid, and then he will be exposed. Flaw. So I need you to hit him with words at the beginning, pierce his weak defense, make him afraid, make him angry, and make him lose his normal, and then I will carefully observe and make a judgment.
A judge said unhappily at that time, "It sounds like you have made sure that the hero we woke up has been polluted by chaos?"
"It's not a certainty, it's a hypothesis. I will first assume that he has been polluted by chaos. He is now a cunning enemy. I will try my best to expose his mask. I am fair. I will give him a chance. In this process, he can reverse my judgment through excellent performance. Elizabeth added, "This is not only my way of doing things, but also the practice of the demon court."
"The verdict of guilt!" The judges from the heresy court feel a little uncomfortable with this. Although they are both courts, the behavior of the two tribunals is completely different.
"Yes, no matter who he is? It's better to kill tens of millions by mistake than to let go of one.
Before meeting Li, the judge and the two judges made a lot of judgments about the possible situation and carefully screened the questions. Elizabeth observed Li outside the room from the beginning - it was an ancient way, a single-sided reflective glass, so that Elizabeth could clearly see what was happening in the room, while Li could only see himself in the glass.
But when the trial really began, things didn't go so smoothly. This melee master named Li is much smarter than expected. At least he is not the kind of interstellar warrior with muscles in Elizabeth's imagination. Li is more like a calm commander. He is insightful, sharp and calm. Even in the face of questioning that made Elizabeth feel excessive, he did not lose his calmness.
Yes, he was really angry and annoyed because of those problems, but he was not dizzy because of anger. He just suppressed his anger and then changed to a tough and soft attitude to talk to you slowly. At some point, Elizabeth will even doubt whether her opponent is a Star Marine or not? It's not a mistake there. This guy should be a diplomat.
This annoyed Elizabeth, so she didn't follow the original plan and flushed down the room. At first, she was a threat, and then she was angry and found that the threat did not have much effect. The fool who came back from 9,000 years ago did not know the prestige of the demon court. When he heard the demon court, There was no expression on his face when he got the name, just like hearing the name of an unreliable clerical department in the empire. From this reaction alone, Elizabeth can roughly confirm Lee's safety. At least she has never seen a demon who can remain calm after hearing the name of the demon court, no matter how good at disguise.
More importantly, from various tests and checked data, there was no trace of Li being infected by chaos. There was no sign of evil on him at all. He didn't even have psionic power. On the contrary, all these data show that he is as pure as a newborn baby.
Except for Li's handsome face and excellent skin, there is almost no other evidence that he was polluted by chaos. If it is an ordinary person, it doesn't matter even if there is no evidence. The life and death of the person being judged is just a matter of one sentence. Who can question it? But Li's identity was different. Not long after he woke up, several star war regiments sent messages. Some of the dark raven regiments were divided into multiple small regiments, and even the Holy Blood Angel regiments. The messages sent by these regiments were very simple. Most of them asked about Li's physical condition, which was not difficult to understand. They were Li once It is normal for comrades-in-arms, or descendants, to show concern. What's more strange is the note from the High Lords' Association, which shows that the lords are also watching the situation here.
Moreover, Li's own identity is not ordinary. The Divine Emperor once personally checked Li's physical condition, which alone made Li have a detached position.
Under so much pressure, Elizabeth can't tolerate too many ideas. But what she can't let go after all is the clear disgust from the bottom of her heart. There is not much reason. It's just a woman's sixth sense, but Elizabeth regards this as an omen, a guide, and no matter what it is, in short, in most cases, this omen is always right. Elizabeth believed in her intuition, which made her firmly believe that this guy Li must be hiding something. But in the end, under the reality that the evidence is mostly beneficial to Li, she can only regard her dislike for Li as a simple antipathy to the little white face.
"I just hate the little white face too much, and this guy Li is the little white face in the little white face, so I hate him, and this feeling invisibly affects my judgment. Alas!" Under this idea, the subsequent review began to gradually calm down.
Subsequent investigations are some routine and boring routine questions, and as a question is asked, it is often subject to more rhetorical questions from the questionee. It's not that Li deliberately disrupted the trial in a rebellious tone, but because he just woke up after sleeping for 9,000 years. He knew nothing about many things in the world, no matter which Robert. Li Du is the same and knows nothing. After all, even for human society, nine thousand years is not a short time. If Li wants to understand the judge's questions, he must ask more questions, so the trial turned into a torment for the judge in the end.
In less than three days, Judge Elizabeth hurriedly ended the review. She felt that she was facing a curious baby who kept asking "what does this mean", and Li was finally marked with a "purity" logo.
But this is not over yet. After a physical examination, Li will be placed in a church above the earth for isolation and observation for half a year.
In fact, the empire does not really want the heroes lying in the Holy Spirit Church to wake up. For the high-level of the empire and bureaucrats at all levels, it is much better for these heroes to lie in expensive coffins and receive worship than for them coming out, at least for both sides. It will be much easier.
After all, the ruling class never needs heroes.
