Arcane Linguist

Chapter 77
"Is this the plane court?"

Roland and the others suddenly realized.

This thing is said to be the kingdom of Nomos, the ancient god of law.

Nomos has long since fallen, but this dilapidated kingdom of God can still respond to the call of intelligent life, and descend to the heavens and worlds in the form of a demiplane, continuing to perform its priesthood.

With the majestic atmosphere permeating, everything in the Skold residence seemed to disappear.

Instead, there is a huge square like an ancient temple.

In the huge ring-shaped building that looks like a classical city-state Colosseum, the ancient stands are filled with gray translucent figures.

That is the petitioner who has fallen with the gods and turned into an afterimage of history.

In the central open space of the ring-shaped building, a high platform in the shape of a balance stand stands.

On the side of the high platform, there are thirteen large high-backed chairs, and ghostly figures sit upright.

These are also petitioners, a jury composed of legal elites and lawful neutrals from different planes and worlds.

They are both spirits of the past, sitting quietly in the form of afterimages of history.

Further outside, hidden in the depths of the clouds and mist, is a vast figure as majestic as a mountain.

He alone (God) occupies a quarter of the circular building, sitting behind a huge stone table, overlooking the people placed on the scales.

"According to the call of the ancient contract, the court of the plane came here to try the case of the plaintiff, Exip North, who accused the defendant, Skold Nomsevich, of breaching his promise and tearing up the contract. Both parties can borrow the power of this court to Invite your respective lawyers..."

"You actually borrowed the power of the court of the plane to escape!"

Roland found that lights illuminated by divine power also appeared above the heads of his group, appearing on the other side of the balance.

"Since they have all gone to the court of the plane, then simply respond to the lawsuit and settle this matter.

The petitioner's remnant soul mechanism is rigid, and the summoning of the devil needs to be carefully selected. This time, I will be Skold's defense lawyer. "

Orvisto's voice sounded.

The screencasting technique had been interrupted due to the coming of the Kingdom of God, but with Orvisto's call, the plane court also pulled him in.

Behind the crowd, stone chairs emerged, each seated.

Axiip collected himself, continued to chant the incantation, and summoned a fellow in formal attire.

This is a dikigo demon, obviously higher in rank, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and has a gentle temperament.

He was obviously a frequent visitor to the "Dimensional Court", looked around, and discussed with Exip in a leisurely manner.

"Boom!"

Not long after, a simple and deep sound of a gavel sounded, spreading throughout the audience.

"Open court!"

Certain laws of the kingdom of God were touched, and the divine judgment began.

"Your Majesty Nomos, we accuse the maker of the contract, Skold Nomsevich, of breaking his promise and tearing up the contract.

We request that the contract be strengthened, and no damage in any name or form is allowed..."

The Digigomo summoned by Exip immediately launched an attack.

Ovisto said: "Our party has no such intentions, but has a little doubt about the terms of the contract, so I called Exip to come over for friendly negotiations..."

Exip waved his fist angrily and said: "The negotiation is invalid, and we don't accept mediation. We insist on strengthening the contract, and make sure that we don't take the opportunity to break the promise and cause disputes again."

"We also agree to strengthen the contract." Orvisto said unhurriedly, "But we maintain that these contracts were signed entirely out of a major misunderstanding between the parties, and the meanings of different languages ​​are different. Serious deviations and ambiguities should be clarified before being reinforced."

"The reasons are valid, please explain in detail."

The voice of the ancient gods said.

Suddenly, the balance of judgment tilted.

"Okay, we advocate that the content of the contract written in oracle bone inscriptions should be used as the original, and it is confirmed that Liz Moxipu borrowed 10000 gold coins from our party (the inflated total amount of routine loans)..."

The two devils were dumbfounded when they heard this.

Is that okay?

"Haven't you read this contract with "Language Proficiency"? "

Digigomo quickly snatched the contract from Exip, read it according to the terms of the oracle bone inscription, and asked anxiously.

"Well, "Language Proficiency" doesn't seem to have entered this language yet, I learned it from him using "Detect Thoughts", it should be enough. "

In fact, it was to deceive Skold and pretend to obey.

"Level 2 spell "Detect Thoughts"?This kind of spell can listen to the inner voice of the target to a certain extent, but it can only understand the superficial thoughts at that time..."

"Won't you really be tricked?"

Axiip turned pale.

"Don't panic, whether there is any ambiguity, it's not their decision!"

The case agent, Digigomo, has rich experience. He looked up at the figure of the god and said: "We believe that a multilingual contract should not choose any language as the parent. understanding deviation.

The contract involved in this case has five languages: Celestial Language, Abyssal Language, Elvish Language, Purgatory Language, and Serisi Language. A comprehensive comparison of multiple languages ​​should be used as the basis for judgment...

In addition, the trial of this case should involve the participation of linguistic experts or legal experts in related fields in order to improve the authority of comparative judgments. "

"Experts in related fields?"

Orvisto looked a little weird.

"I agree, but I am an expert in the four languages ​​of Celestial Language, Abyssal Language, Elvish Language, and Purgatory Language. I also have a lawyer's license from Arterine, and the scope of practice is magic contracts. I am applying to testify."

The two devils suddenly seemed to have been hit by the "petrification spell", and they froze there, messed up in the wind.

Digigomo came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "The defendant's representative cannot be an expert witness to attend the trial, the two identities are in conflict!"

"It is true that the defendant's attorney is not allowed to testify as an expert witness."

The voice of the ancient gods said.

The scales of judgment tipped back.

Digigomo continued: "Moreover, the content involved in the case is closely related to the Seres language. Apart from the Seres language, this contract is a common language, and a consensus has already been reached!"

"The grounds are established and the accused's attorney is not allowed to testify as an expert."

The voice of the ancient gods recognized it.

The balance of judgment tilted again.

This time, the two devils looked down on everyone almost from a commanding perspective.

Unavoidably some complacent.

They talk about some things first, the real purpose is to add another layer of insurance in addition to the hell contract.

In this way, these contracts can be strengthened with the help of the authority of the plane court.

If the other party wanted to tear up the contract, it would be even more difficult to rescue Skold.

Ovisto said: "Since the plaintiff wants to find an expert in the Seres language, then we have asked His Majesty to invite an expert in the Seres language to express his opinion as an expert witness."

The two devils seemed to have been hit by the "Petrification Spell" again, and they froze there, messy in the wind.

Because following Orvisto's words, the eyes of the fallen gods fell on Roland in the auditorium behind the defendant.

A beam of light like a stage spotlight casts down, illuminating his location.
