Chapter 250 That’s the lives of 2 people
There are amazing people in every field.

This is Lord Dante's view of the people of the empire.

For example, Professor Darwin in the field of life science research has pushed demonology to an unprecedented height with his own power, and it seems that he is about to open another new chapter of the empire.

Just like the greatest scholar before the holy calendar, jokingly attributed all his achievements to an apple.

Just like the girl who spread hope in the world, like the iron-blooded general who has stuck to the coast of Redek Strait for nearly 30 years, like the killer who makes his bones ache every rainy day.

There are too many great people in this world, but I was actually just lucky. When the holy light and the evil god of hell were in a stalemate, I happened to be the last straw.

Edward Weston
It was the name of the paper boy, and as a man still working as a paper boy in his 20s, he certainly didn't think he could make any progress in the field of news papers, even if he was working for the largest newspaper in the empire. , Even if he is delivering a letter for the most respected old man in the empire, it is still the same.

It's just sending letters and newspapers, no matter how hard you try, so what, can you still change the world like those great men?

He didn't think he could, so he followed the only things he could do and sent the letter to the headquarters of the Holy Journal
The editor-in-chief of the Holy Journal frowned. He took the letter, stared at it for a long time, and his eyes fell on the wax seal with a strong style of the Holy See. Confused, he finally took a deep breath and opened the letter.

Inside the envelope were a few sheets of paper full of words, as well as some photos. The editor-in-chief looked at the words and became more and more silent, but his expression became more and more dignified, and his hand holding the letter paper became tighter and tighter. All trembling.

"Bang!" He snapped those letter papers over and slapped them heavily on the desk, as if he didn't dare to read any more, and he didn't dare to let others see the contents of those words.

The secretary standing in front of him was also a little surprised when he saw his boss, because as the editor-in-chief of the Holy Journal, he must have seen many big scenes and experienced many big news. What kind of letter is it? Make him nervous like this?
So, the secretary confirmed that the door of the office was closed tightly, and then leaned forward, and asked tentatively in a low voice: "What, what's wrong?"

The editor-in-chief exhaled forcefully.

I have achieved his position. Of course, there are many things that I can't do by myself, so sooner or later I can't hide this matter from my secretary. The editor-in-chief was silent for a few seconds, and then used the smallest but clearest voice said:

"Half a year ago, the manipulator behind the crash of the airship in London was found."

"What!" The secretary was startled, and thought, no wonder the boss looked nervous: "Who is it?"

"Augustine the Great."

The secretary fell silent.

He stood blankly in front of his desk, wanting to smile and tell his boss that it was not good to joke around at this time, but when he saw the other person's serious flash of panic, he knew that this was not a joke, so he He stumbled and quickly supported the table to keep himself from falling.

"In this letter, there is solid evidence." The editor-in-chief said again.

The secretary was completely dumbfounded, and he didn’t know what to do. If someone else was behind the disaster, he would definitely be jumping for joy now, because this is absolute first-hand news that no other newspaper has. news!

but
What if it was Augustine the Great?
Newspapers are meant to report the truth, but what if a truth might cause social unrest?
Obviously, the editor-in-chief of the Holy Magazine didn't know either, and he was also confused.

But suddenly, his body trembled suddenly, and he finally remembered that this letter was sent by Edward Weston.

So, it was Mr. Dante who asked him to send this letter? !
The editor-in-chief's hand was clenched at once. Mr. Dante has lived in seclusion for many years, and he seems to have a feeling of not caring about worldly affairs. Although he did not interfere in politics this time, on the eve of the succession ceremony, he asked the newsboy to deliver such a A letter, what it wants to express, seems obvious and surprising enough.

"Notify the Eighth Editorial Team to stop all work and report to my office," he said.

"Yes!" The secretary nodded. At this time, he didn't dare to ask a word.

At this time, Edward had already boarded the train back to the town.

He didn't know what the letter he sent meant, and he didn't feel at all what changes he could bring to the world as a newsboy.

He hadn't left that town for many years, so along the way, he just felt that the empire's territory was so majestic and beautiful.

Looking at the melting snow, the rolling mountains, and occasionally passing the new grass sprouts emerging from the land, I smiled happily.

And when he was intoxicated by the scenery outside the city in the early spring of the empire, in the bright hall of a church of the Tribunal under the Holy See, Stanley Hopkins silently looked at his teacher, who is the current Chief Justice of the Tribunal .

Hopkins is undoubtedly a person who respects his teacher. In fact, in this world, the person he respects most should be the old man in front of him, even more respect than the Pope who let the Holy See do nothing.

But at this time, this silent confrontation has lasted for about half an hour, during which neither of them spoke, and there was no one else in the bright hall, so everything was eerily quiet.

don't know how long
"Don't you understand that as long as human beings are still emotional animals, the law will never be completely fair, but only a tool to maintain social stability. If the society is no longer stable, more crimes will be born. , more unfairness, you can't shake the structure of the entire society just because of a trivial matter." The elderly justice finally spoke first.

Hopkins is his most proud disciple. A few years ago, he had already wanted to pass his position to this outstanding young man. However, maybe because he is too outstanding, at this moment, this Inquisition member is almost A rare genius in ten years had a disagreement with his teacher for the first time.

"That's not a trivial matter, but the lives of 2 people. It's just what we saw. Where we didn't see, there must be more and more crimes. The emperor is guilty. We should perform the obligation of the court! "Hopkins' tone was a bit unwilling. He knew that not all the people in the trial court could be trusted, so he directly handed over the evidence that could prove that Emperor Augustine participated in the London catastrophe. Teacher, the entire Holy See, and even the embodiment of fairness and justice in the entire empire, but they did not expect such an ending.

"You can't judge evil with your own heart alone." The judge's tone was still calm, and he didn't appear harsh because of his student's anger: "I'm at your age, and I actually have the same mentality as you, but if I live again After a few decades, you will probably understand what I mean. Sometimes, fairness is just to appease the people within a certain range. In fact, in the final analysis, this word never exists in nature.”

Hopkins' heart was beating wildly. Facing the person he respected most, he forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart, but in the end, he whispered like a closing statement: "I'm sorry, I don't agree with your theory .”

"Of course you don't agree. In fact, this is what I admire about you."

"But I want to ask, if one day, the arrest of Emperor Augustine will not have an impact on this society, then...are you willing to hold a court in person to try him?"

This question stunned the elderly justice. He didn't know why his student asked such a question, but suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and then looked at Hopkins with a scrutinizing look.

"You young people, are you so confident?"

Hopkins nodded: "During this time, a guy has given me too much shock, so... I believe him."

The judge hesitated for a moment, and then the scrutiny in his eyes gradually softened, and there seemed to be some taste of appreciation and relief.

But in the end, no answer was given.
