Zeus does not want to be the king of gods in Greece

Unite all forces that can be united, this is the teaching of Zeus.

"It's not that I haven't considered the possibility of being a trap, so I plan to go there alone this time. Even if something happens, you can survive. We still have hope."

Syracuse did not naively think that everything needs to be obtained in a fair and just way, let alone how kind those slave masters would be.

Sparta's worries are not unfounded, but real hidden dangers.

"What a joke, we made this decision together, and most of those people were injured by me, how could it be possible for you to face it alone."

Sparta doesn't know how to judge even if he has the strength. For him, the meaning of life is "Olige, just do it and it's over".

But he will not back down just because he is not good at it.

"I'm here to be a mortal this time, and you're here to defend me."

"defend?"

Syracuse was taken aback for a moment, he did not expect that Sparta would propose such a proposal.

"Of course, I get a headache when I look at the densely packed words, and I don't understand the law at all. I'm not the only one like this. In the future, there must be someone who specializes in studying the law and defending people who have wronged me like me, right? "

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Syracuse looked at Sparta's eyes and knew that the person in front of him had a stubborn temper again, and he couldn't persuade him to return to the things that had been decided.

"But it's okay, even if neither of us can come back, but as long as the prophet is still there and our spirit is still there, then the fire will be passed on one by one until..."

Syracuse looked up at the sky, and his eyes tried to penetrate the clouds to see the palace where the gods lived in the highest place.

"Set the whole of Olympus on fire."

......

"What? Judgment?"

The slave owners got together, and although Zeus's order had not been announced yet, the congressman had already got news, and they also established a relationship through money to let them know some rumors in advance.

"Let us stand trial with those lowly slaves? We each produce evidence to prove our point? Why? They deserve it too?"

It's not that slave owners do not accept the form of judgment, but this should also happen to people of equal status.

Their status is not equal, just standing together makes them suffer humiliation.

Standing on trial with slaves? What kind of new age shame play is this?

"Can't this farce be stopped? There is no need for a trial for such a trivial matter. You just need to kill them all in a cruel way, and you can make an example to others."

After all, the slaves following Syracuse are a minority, as long as they can be killed, the remaining slaves will not dare to rebel within several generations.

As for how many generations later? Who cares, they will all be dead by then, leaving those troubles for future generations to deal with.

Why bother with the flood after death.

"There is no way, standing with those guys, in a sense we have already lost."

Some of the more discerning have seen the natural disadvantage of this trial.

Right and wrong are not important to them, and bribing judges to deceive the gods is simply fundamental to them.

But they didn't need to do that.

"When we stand with them, their status has been promoted, which will make those slaves who are still on the sidelines eager to try, which is a very bad signal."

If possible, no slave owner would be willing to fight such a lawsuit. There is no benefit in winning. Anyway, there are not many slaves, and even a test can grind them to death.

And once they lose, let all the slaves know that doing things is effective, and the authority of the slave owners is no longer omnipotent.

This is completely no good for winning, except for the muddled account of falling into trouble, but the decisions of the gods cannot be changed by them. They win.

"As long as the two leaders can be sentenced to death, the rest of the people are just a mob."

All the slave owners have gathered the prepared treasures together, and the court and the parliament need to manage them. This is no longer a problem for a few people.

It is a matter of great concern to the entire slave-owning class.

......

This trial not only affected the slaves and slave owners, the magicians of the council were judging the situation, and they found that the slaves became difficult to deal with after learning to strengthen their magic.

But they couldn't find anyone who taught them to strengthen magic.

And the gods are also very concerned about this seemingly "farce" trial, which is the first major event after Zeus established Olympus.

If Themis gained a lot in this trial, can this be judged as a reward for joining the Zeus group?

All will be revealed after the trial is over.

Chapter 96 Magic is forbidden in court

The court, the original intention of Zeus to establish this place, was just to realize the mutual supervision of power, and to let the people at the bottom have a place to protect their rights and interests.

In order to reflect the sanctity of this place, it is natural to spend a lot of gold and jewelry embellishments, but has it really played its original characteristics and maintained fairness and justice?

Of course not.

In this generally barbaric world, sitting down and having a good talk is just a sign of weakness. The power that can really influence the court's decision is not evidence and justice, but who can give more benefits.

Zeus is clear but not in a hurry to change, everything cannot be accomplished overnight, especially things related to civilization, it takes time to accumulate.

Therefore, this resplendent and magnificent court has become a place of filth for formality, but today it is finally going to play its due role.

......

The heavy wooden door was slowly pushed open, and the jury seats were full of slave owners with unkind faces. The judges looked stern. After all, it was a test for them to commit crimes under the eyes of the gods.

Immediately, two footsteps came out, and they walked towards the dock with their backs to the light.

Obviously it was from the side being judged, but they were still unafraid, and this demeanor alone made everyone present look unswerving.

The seats in the court are limited, and those who can come here are the more powerful among the slave owners. More slave owners can only watch the whole live broadcast projection prepared by Prometheus outside the court. Watch everything that happens inside.

"Don't be lazy, hurry up and go to work for me."

Those who want to see the result of this trial are not only slave owners, but also thousands of slaves.

Whenever they have free time, they have to peek at the live broadcast projections everywhere, and the slave owners don't have much time to pay attention to the movements of the slaves.

The outcome of the trial is equally important to them.

At this moment in Olympus, whether it is a slave or a slave owner, whether it is a magician or a god, they all set their sights on this trial.

"Now, the trial of the 'Mt. Olympus slave treason case' has officially begun. Everyone swears an oath to Themis, the goddess of justice. The judgment in this case is completely fair and the standard of justice."

Following the judge's words, everyone swore oaths. At first, everyone thought it was just a formality, but when the golden light spots gradually gathered in the court, they formed the phantom of Themis.

Wow, for real.

Although many people knew that Themis would pay attention to this trial, it would be too solemn to directly project it.

"Ahem Sparta, the slave of the defense, and Syracuse, the defender."

The judge's eyelids also started to twitch, but it was just everyone yelling casually, I didn't expect you to come out, it's frightening to death.

"The plaintiff, Ernoset, has passed away, and his family has not been relieved from the grief and anger. We hereby represent Semtro in court."

Semtro, the most respected slave owner among the slave owners, facing this trial that must be won, they can't let a woman take the stage instead of them, and the initiative must never be given up.

"Then the case is in court, and the plaintiff accuses the defendant of homicide, and the evidence is solid, so there may be objections."

Being stared at by the projection of the gods is really stressful, the judge came up and threw out the evidence of Sparta's murder.

After all, the slave owners used golems to hurt people back then, if they could bear it, then the name Sparta would be written upside down.

"Disagreement, this evidence is too one-sided."

Naturally, Syracuse didn't intend to plead guilty so soon. In order to get this performance today, he combed his hairstyle into a hedgehog head by instinct, and there was an inexplicable wind pressure when he raised his finger.

Terrain added, belongs to yes.

"Magic is forbidden in court."

The judges wanted to yell like this, but in fact Syracuse did not cause any pressure at all, but because of the upright aura of the other side, they felt inexplicably guilty.

So they found the excuse of "wind pressure".

"This is not the whole picture of what happened. The slave owners wantonly massacred the slaves. This is not the first move by Sparta. If possible, there should be an earlier video."

Yes, of course there is, but is it necessary to give it to you?

Faced with Syracuse's question, the judges would naturally know if there was such a thing, and if it was normal, they would ignore Syracuse's appeal.

But at this moment, they couldn't say anything negative, and they saw Themis as soon as they looked up.

Even though she was blindfolded at this moment, the judges felt the line of sight under the blindfold.

Once they lie, the price will be unbearable for them.

The judges looked at each other in blank dismay. They all received a lot of benefits, but they still slipped to their knees decisively in the face of the crisis of life and death.

"This...of course there is."

The judges brought up another image, and in that image, the violent face of Ernoset, who had been torn apart by Sparta, came alive.

When he commanded the puppet to crush a slave to death like an ant, he was not satisfied at all, but turned his attention to Sparta.

The "harmless" puppet to the gods is a harvester with extremely high killing efficiency when facing these humans.

Harvesting one life after another.

Many slaves couldn't help being terrified looking at this bloody scene, but as Sparta became furious, killing the slave owner first and then dismantling the golem, this also gave the desperate slaves a glimmer of hope.

"According to this image, it was indeed Ernoset who did it first, but don't the bastards who are slaves have anything to do with it?"

When Semtro saw the video released by the judges, he knew that this group of guys were going to take money and do nothing.

But this is not important to Semtro or the slave owner class. Standing here is already embarrassing, so why not be ashamed.

"Even if Ernoset is [-]% wrong, it is an indisputable fact that Sparta, who is a slave, killed people. Faced with such a situation, we can ask for extra compensation, and even give some compensation to the dead slaves, but this person......"

Semtro pointed at Sparta, which was a posture of preparing to bite to the death, no matter how much the price was paid, he would extinguish the fire of resistance.

"Being a slave but killing his master, such a person should be hanged and made public."

It is imperative to kill chickens and monkeys, and the resistance of the slaves has made the slave owners uneasy, and the smarter among them have already had a premonition.

It may be imperative for slaves to stand up, but such things should never happen in the era they live in.

Sparta must die.

Chapter 97 The Imperfect Law

Murder pays for life, this is the most basic one of the laws that Zeus has now designated, and the current situation in Sparta can indeed use this one.

If Sparta did kill someone, then he deserved to die. Although Ernoset also killed someone, he himself was already dead. Wouldn’t it be enough to just leak a little from his property as a benefit?

Exchange a dead person for a living person, this kind of business can be said to be a sure profit without loss.

"Indeed, it is an unchanging axiom that murder pays for life, but don't worry, we will still ask Ernoset's family to compensate your family."

The judges also took advantage of the slope to go down the donkey. As for how much family property the Enossets are dead, it is not their concern at all.

"Then this court hereby judges..."

"Wait a minute."

Syracuse has never seen the other party's plan to forcibly exchange one for one, he naturally cannot let the other party succeed, and he has predicted this development, as long as...

"It's useless to talk too much, the evidence is overwhelming..."

Just when the judge was about to make a final decision, he didn't have any strength to knock it down, and the inexplicable pressure was exerted on him, so that he couldn't even hold the gavel in his hand.

"If you have any objections, feel free to speak up."

What are the plans of the slave owners and those fellows of the council? Themis is like a mirror.

This ruling involves the development of her future theocracy, and she doesn't care about the outcome of this trial, Zeus and she have repeatedly reminded her.

Fairness and justice are what Themis wants to do.

If one party still has something to say and makes a judgment on its own, will this result in a wrong judgment?

Everything is difficult at the beginning, what Themis has to do is to make the first trial she participated in be blameless, so that the authority of the law can be firmly bound to herself.

"Yes, we still have something to say, such a judgment is unreasonable, and the law is not perfect."
