Tokyo Survival from Tamamomae

Chapter 378 Of course, blow his dog's head off (two in one)

Outside the Anglican cathedral of St. Paul's in London, there is a square paved with marble.

The huge sculpture of the Holy Father stands in the center of the square, bathed in the new rising sun, and sixteen pillars made of rare jade surround the square with a mysterious radiance.

On the square, the ancient and solemn bells from the roof of the church occasionally echoed.

Heresy Judge Square, here is the place where the Holy See of Britain used to publicly try heresy.

Since the Reformation, Britain, which began to pursue religious equality and human rights, has gradually abolished the practice of trying heresy.

The function of judging heresy has also been replaced, and now it has become a sightseeing spot.

Occasionally, however, some prisoners who have committed major faults will receive a public trial in this square.

At this moment, the palace attackers, members of the Anglican sect, the clock tower, and some knights who guarded order had already gathered in the square.

The square gathered all the representatives of the three major power organs of Britain - the royal family, the church, the parliament, and a group of aliens with horns on their heads. Thousands of people were watching on the periphery.

These people are all here to watch the excitement, because they heard that there will be a public trial of the Dragon Clan here today.

"Hey, look quickly, those people in the square with horns on their heads and wings on their backs, are they dragons?"

"That's right, these are our friends in Britain, our allies who once fought side by side with us to repel the monster race, the dragon race from the kingdom of dragons."

"Tsk tsk, this is the first time I've seen the Dragon Clan. They don't seem to be much different from us, they just have a pair of horns and a pair of wings..."

"You're wrong, this is not the body of the Dragon Clan, but the appearance they transformed into for the convenience of communicating with us humans."

"So that's the case, but having said that, I heard that they borrowed the Heresy Judge Square this time to publicly judge a clansman. Who is she, and what's going on?"

"You should all have heard of this person, she is Layla, the Dragon Maiden, and the wife of the former head of the Royal Knights, Parsha.

You must have heard that Parsha is a traitor. Now he has been arrested and brought to justice, and Leila, his wife, may have colluded with the Yaozu, or even an accomplice.

So the Dragon Clan came here this time to conduct a public trial on the dragon girl Layla, and at the same time to give us an explanation for Britain. "

"Oh, so that's the case. Then how was the public trial conducted, and how did it decide whether Leila was guilty?"

"Hey, the process is not important. In fact, you don't know. Once brought to this square, most of them have already been convicted. The public trial is just a process."

"That is to say, Leila really colluded with demons, is she guilty?"

"I don't know."

"Then if she is innocent, wouldn't she have wronged a good person?"

"It doesn't matter if you are innocent or not. This is what the Dragon Clan means. But it's up to you. After the trial results come out, Leila will have a chance to be pardoned!"

"Absolved?"

"Well, the priests of our Holy See are merciful and will give her a chance to be pardoned after the verdict has come down, and hold a tribute of divine grace, as long as she can be forgiven by the devout believers and get enough holy water... "

"Praise of God, my God, if I remember correctly, after the tribute is over, the Holy See will select a hundred devout believers among us, and each will give a small bottle of holy water."

"Yes, holy water is a rare item, and the Holy See may not produce much in a year, but it is of great benefit to spiritual practice.

Not to mention this, it is said that the dragons also like holy water, and the holders can use the holy water to exchange a lot of treasures from the dragons! "

"Why do dragons like holy water?"

"I don't know..."

"Hey, you don't know this, holy water is also of great benefit to the dragon clan, it is said that it can stimulate male dragons to go into heat and increase the fertility rate of the dragon clan.

You also know that the Dragon Clan has always had few people. In order to reproduce, they have tried everything possible. The holy water is also one of the reasons why they formed an alliance with us humans in the first place. "

"Then Layla is pitiful. If you get the holy water, you either keep it for yourself or exchange it for gold from the dragon clan. It is absolutely impossible for you to give it to a traitor..."

"Yes, judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible for her to get a pardon. This is probably just a formality."

"Indeed, since Parsha was arrested, his scandals have also been exposed, making everyone very angry, and the anger towards him will more or less be transferred to Leila..."

"Then later, at the pardoning ceremony, there will be a good show. This Leila is really pitiful. Who told her to marry the wrong person. Tsk tsk!"

Some people sighed, some were indignant, but most of them still had the mentality of watching a movie.

The so-called public trial of the Dragon Clan is a special and solemn ceremony used by the Dragon Clan to judge guilty clansmen, and it is also an ancient tradition of the Dragon Clan.

It is not like a human court trial, with a complete set of procedures such as proof, defense, and sentencing.

Its process is very simple, the minority obeys the majority, the prisoner has no right to defense, and everything is subject to the voting results of the Dragon Tribunal Elders.

And those who can conduct public trials within the clan are generally clansmen who have committed major mistakes and have basically been convicted of crimes. The public trial is just a process.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the dragon clan will not conduct a public trial.

But Leila is the wife of Parsa, and Parsha is a traitor who colluded with demons. After this incident was revealed, the relationship between humans and dragons has been seriously damaged.

The people naturally wondered whether Leila also colluded with the demons, whether she was also a traitor.

And Leila is not a human being, but a member of the Dragon Clan used to marry humans, but this member of the clan married a human traitor by coincidence.

Naturally, people will wonder whether there is something inside it, and whether the Dragon Clan intends to do so.

But now the weak dragon clan, in order to maintain the ally relationship with humans, had to make a choice after careful consideration—abandoning Layla in exchange for calming everyone's suspicions.

Even though she may be innocent, marrying a traitor who colluded with the Yaozu is itself a huge stain.

Now, including the three major authorities affiliated to Britain, they have all sent people to observe.

There were even two British princes at the VIP table, the eldest prince Bob, the second prince Lawrence, and the candidate bishop of the Anglican Church, nun Vivienne, and the deputy director of the Clock Tower.

Although they will not intervene in the trial process, they will make a decision on whether to pardon at the end.

The absolution of sins is done according to the ancient tradition of the Holy See and is called the washing of sins.

The priests performed holy spells, prayed for the blessing of the Lord, and finally gave holy water to the believers present.

Holy water is said to wash away all sins.

If the believers present, after obtaining the holy water, don't use it on themselves, but donate it to the prisoner, if there are more than a certain level, the crime of the prisoner can be washed away.

Leila is the protagonist of today, and today she is not as weak as before.

Perhaps it was the reason for the next trial, there was a trace of coldness on that fair and pretty face, and the long red hair stood up behind her back, fluttering with the breeze.

At this moment, she was standing in the very center of the square, but her plump and tall figure seemed a little alone.

And on the high platform, a middle-aged dragon man wearing a gray robe, with two horns on his head and two wings on his back was reading the result of her trial.

"Leyla, according to the discussion of the elders, the final result is that you are convicted. Do you have anything else to say?"

The verdict has come down, no surprises, she was found guilty.

"..."

Layla was silent.

Because she knew that this was the doomed result, no matter what she said, it was useless.

Since the king summoned her that day, she knew the result.

Everyone present today will not stand by her side and speak for her.

She was just a poor victim.

"Since you have no objection, then I hereby declare that the sinner, Leila, colluded with demons, murdered the human race, and destroyed the alliance between our family and the human race, which is a heinous crime.

According to the rules of our clan, you will be exiled to the Burial Dragon Abyss.

However, the Holy See is merciful and has given you a chance to be exonerated..."

As the gray-robed man's voice fell, soon, the crowd in the square automatically separated.

The priests, wearing pure white robes and holding scepters, walked towards the crowd indifferently.

And at the VIP seat, Vivian, who was watching all this, nodded secretly, and whispered to the second prince William:
"His Royal Highness William, according to your request, we have done everything that the Holy See should do.

His Highness Bob was also kept in the dark by us. Next, we will continue to hold divine blessings and reach a deal with the Dragon Clan as agreed. "

The second prince, William, first glanced at Vivienne calmly, then glanced at the good brother who was beside him with a happy face, and then whispered:
"Very well, it seems that my silly brother is still kept in the dark, and I recognize the contribution of your Holy See.

Your choice is wise, and when things come to fruition, I will definitely give you the maximum freedom of missionary work and support your merger with Puritanism..."

As he spoke, an elegant smile appeared on William's lips.

"Thank you, Your Highness William!"

……

"Cecilia, what do you mean, Leila became a victim after the Dragon Clan reached a certain deal with your Holy See?"

"Hao Ren, slow down, slow down..."

In the sky, a strong wind was blowing, and Cecilia and Winnie could barely open their eyes. Hao Ren patted his body lightly, and then slowed down immediately with a whine.

The two took a breath. After Cecilia recovered, she whispered:
"Yes, after the Parsha incident was exposed, the public hated the traitor Parsha to the extreme, and even Parsha's relatives, including Layla, became the targets of condemnation.

Not to mention others, Leila is a foreigner.

In order to quell the anger of the people, the Vatican and the Dragon Clan reached a deal to exchange holy water for the Dragon Clan to abandon Layla. The Dragon Clan needs holy water to support their reproduction, and the Holy See needs Layla to calm the anger of the people.

At the same time, this is also to repair the rift in the relationship between humans and dragons, and it is necessary to find a victim to divert the conflict. "

Haoren nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and continued to ask:
"Why is it the Holy See, the anger of the people, the relationship between the dragons and humans, what does it have to do with the Holy See?"

"The Holy See supports my eldest brother, and all of this should be in exchange for the support of the Dragon Clan for my eldest brother.

Of course, maybe this is also what my father meant, he intends to support eldest brother.After all, compared to the second brother, the eldest brother is really worse. "

"So, Leila was judged and convicted, is it certain?"

Haoren didn't show the slightest expression, and no one knew what he was thinking, so he asked such a sentence with an indifferent face.

"Yes, after the trial results, although there will be a pardon ceremony, this is exactly the way the Dragon Clan trades with the Holy See, through the hands of the people, the holy water is exchanged with the Dragon Clan.

Layla was just a casualty of the deal.

For the Dragon Clan, marrying Parsha has already lost the value of her marriage. For the Holy See, it is also urgent to divert the conflict and support my elder brother at the same time. "

Hao Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, and at this moment he could already see the lone figure in the crowded square in the distance.

"Fox...Hao Ren, the main reason is that Her Highness the Princess got to know the news a little too late, otherwise we can still think of other ways.

For now, we'll wait on the sidelines for the time being, and wait until the trial is over before pleading with His Majesty the King..."

"You mean, it's fine for you to stand by and watch, but you still want me to stand by?"

Hao Ren glared at Wei Ni who suddenly interrupted, and his words seemed a little displeased.

"There is no other way, Her Royal Highness and I really want to rescue Miss Leila, but this time the royal family, the Holy See, and the parliament are all involved in this matter.

It is equivalent to the fact that all the forces in Britain are on the opposite side of Miss Leila, even Her Royal Highness, cannot stand against the whole of Britain..."

Winnie defended her princess in this way, but Cecilia was worried that Haoren would be impulsive, so she persuaded again:

"Hao Ren, I also know that you are powerful, but you have to think clearly, if you are impulsive, your identity as a monster may be exposed if you are not careful, so let's wait until the trial is over before making a long-term plan..."

"If you wrong a good man so much, your so-called democracy and human rights in Britain are nothing more than that!

But don't worry, I'll never do anything I'm not sure about..."

Haoren sighed softly when he heard the words, and then his voice gradually became lower and lower:
"Leyla can be considered my woman, and you are also my woman. If someone is bullying you today, what do you think I should do?"

Cecilia: "..."

Hao Ren held his right hand lightly, and the power of fate quietly circulated in his palm, and said indifferently:
"That's naturally... to save you, and at the same time blow the heads of those who bully you!"
