Judgment of the Light
The plan will never keep up with changes. As soon as Victor sets a development direction for the future situation, Ke Lin disrupts its plan.
On the third day of transformation, a bizarre death occurred in the slums, with more than a dozen people dying one night. When Duke Mendel, the ruler of Taran, heard that mummies were found, the church located in the north of the city also received a similar report.
The high priest Mongnet immediately sent Taran's only Holy Light Judge Knights to investigate. The bizarre events that ordinary people cannot understand are nothing more than the necromancers for the Holy See of Light.
As the initial place where death occurred, the haunted old house located on the banks of the inner city river naturally did not escape the search. The knights rushed into the basement, and although nothing was found except the charred magic circle, it was enough for the Tribunal to directly find the dwarf who currently owned the property.
When the apprentice stumbled into the enchantment room, he stuttered to Ulman that the church knights of the Tribunal came to the door, and the smile that had been hanging on his face for the past two days immediately subsided.
"Ulman, the three-story house with a courtyard on the riverside of the inner city south of the city is recorded in your name." Captain Judgment Knight looked up and down with a scrutinized look, and found that he actually had a clear dark force on him.
"I have sold the house to someone else..." Ulman murmured in his heart. Signing an evil mage will indeed cause trouble. In just a few days, the judge's knight came to him.
"Who?" Captain Ron asked. In addition to this dwarf who was unknown to the rumors from Beilu, there were people who dared to buy the old house.
Because demolishing the house or reliving the soul is equivalent to indirectly killing the noble Alpha, the church allows a soul that is similar to the undead to exist in this way for more than a hundred years. Now all the clues point to the old house, and Ron speculates that the new owner must be inseparable from the transformation of the undead.
"My newly hired enchantist." Ulman told the truth.
"Where is he?" When Ron heard that the buyer was a mage, he became more convinced of his inference. Then, he saw the dwarf's gaze swept towards the closed sidewalk, and Captain Knight pushed open the unlocked wooden door.
[The church people are so rude, I can hear your rude voices here.]
The swinging tongue stick made Ron pause slightly. Unexpectedly, the so-called mage turned out to be a tongueless man. The black robe representing evil quickly made up for his disappointment.
"Come on the name."
[Victor Wood.]
"You have been arrested, Mr. Wood, on charges of murder."

For the first time, Fernandez felt that he was old.
When he heard the city defense captain report that he caught the name of the suspect in the slums, he suddenly felt a severe heart pain, as if he had a heart disease that only older people would suffer.
First, he disappeared, and then duel with a great wizard who is three levels higher than him. Now he is simply involved in a murder incident. What else is the earth-shaking thing his eldest son, who cannot admit, has to do?
"Where is the person? I want to interrogate him personally." Fortunately, it was a matter of Jing Yao's crime. When Fernandez was about to use his identity as a grand duke to open the door of convenience, he received an unexpected answer.
"The suspect has been taken away by the Knights of the Inquisition."
"What?" Fernandez slapped the table and waved impatiently, signaling everyone to go out.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the busy street outside the official residence, Taran was about to scold the person who was coming when he heard the sound of the door opening, but smelled a familiar fragrance of flowers and immediately knew who the person was.
"Don't interfere in this matter."
"It doesn't seem to be okay if you don't interfere, father."
Fernandez turned around in surprise and saw Lucien standing at the entrance of the study in formal attire, wearing ribbons and holy objects, and dressed in a standard church knight.
"Why are you wearing this outfit?" He suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"The Great Priest Mongnet invites me to participate in the judgment of the evil mage who dares to implement the transformation of the undead in Jingyao City."
Rao was a person who was extremely tolerant like Fernandez, and he almost couldn't help but scold him.
It's great. If you ask your younger brother to judge your elder brother, someone must be making trouble behind the scenes. Otherwise, Lucien, who secretly returned to Jingyao, would not have been dragged to be a jury so soon.
After filtering the list one by one, the Duke locked in the biggest suspect at this stage - Ramd.
"You go, you must protect Victor." Fernandez reminded him while plotting in his heart how to respond to this old immortal.
"I try my best." Lucien was actually very unsure. He had been with Victor and knew that his brother's dying aura could not hide from the church. Even if his father told Victor's background regardless of his face, the Holy See would probably not give face.
As a mortal enemy, the church has always been tough on the undead.
However, when Lucien, who was a little nervous, arrived at the cathedral, he found that things were not as serious as he thought.
A black robe and a thin back, although the same as in my memory, the feeling is completely opposite.
Without the dead energy that symbolizes the dead spirit, and without the fear spiritual energy that is invisible to the naked eye, the man standing in front of him is clearly a living human being, but he is just a body of evil that cannot be concealed.
Mongnett, who was nearly 70 years old, greeted Lucien, who was younger than him but higher than him.
"The High Priest, this person is an evil wizard, but it seems that he has not reached the level of transforming the undead. If that kind of spell is not noticed by the church during the transformation period, it may only be the work of the Pastor of Death." Lucien naturally wanted to protect Victor. Seeing that he had concealed himself better than when he first met, he felt relieved and guilty.
What is happy is the perfect concealment of the half-brother, and the church is much more tolerant of evil mages than necromancers. What is worried is that he once again violated his oath when he became a knight. He vowed to eradicate all evil and eliminate all the undead.
"After the investigation of the Trial Knights, it can be basically confirmed that the evil mage Kelin Baier was transformed into the undead. This young man named Victor Wood has been very close to him recently. He took over a mercenary group place from Baier half a month ago. The two of them lived in the same dormitory in Jingyao Academy. It is impossible to say that it is completely okay." Mongnett was in seclusion. Although he had never heard of the rumors that Victor Wood and Duke Mendel were father and son, he could feel Lucien's concern for the suspect.
"Should we listen to his defense?" Lucien, who was unwilling to give up, once again created an opportunity for his brother. He thought that with Victor's intelligence, he should be able to seize the opportunity to find strong evidence to defend himself.
Seeing the high priest's face hesitant, a voice with an indignant voice ruthlessly cut off Lucien's hope.
"Can't!"
