Holy Fire Continent, Xiguang City.

Elemental Calendar, 307, June 24th, the last Monday of June.

That is, the day of judgment once a month.

At 1:25 noon, after Aimmon, who had prepared everything, made sure there was no stain on his priest robe, he picked up his own conspiracy, left his room, and walked down the stairs.

"Are you leaving, Lord Priest?"

When he arrived at the first floor of the hotel, he heard a familiar female voice. The person who spoke was the boss's wife, an old woman wiping a wine bottle at the counter.

She was a guest of this hotel when she was young, but was attracted by the master's fishing skills of the current boss fifty years ago. After a series of stories, she became the hostess of this hotel. The white-haired old woman smiled and said to Aimun: "Now are you going to go to the square? The old man originally planned to wait for you to go with you, but the children at home were too enthusiastic and couldn't wait, so she left first."

"Yes, ma'am. It is the natural duty of our Lord of Judgment believers, and the enthusiasm of children is a good thing."

Aimeng smiled and bowed to the boss's wife with his hands together. After paying today's rent, he walked out the door.

The sky in Xiguang City outside the hotel is gloomy and dark, with wisps of light rain falling. However, the warm air by the sea in summer does not make the rain cold, but instead adds a hint of coolness to the humid and hot atmosphere.

"My Lord..."

Xiguang City was shrouded in the dim rain, but Ai Meng, who had just left the house, couldn't help but lower his head.

Because in front of him there was an existence that could not be looked directly at, a "god" who could not be looked directly at his face.

When Aimun saw that the presence of the Lord of Judgment appeared in front of him without any warning, and whether it was the hotel owner or the passerby seemed to be unable to see anything.

[The saint of the judge said: The Lord is like justice, everywhere. Anyone who does anything will be known.]

People should fear God and despise sin, because God knows everything. All sins will be liquidated in the end.

"It is precisely because the Lord is everywhere, staring at everyone, and is a witness to all sins in the world, that punishment is effective and justice can be guaranteed."

In this way, Aimun heard the voice of the Lord at this moment.

"Let's go."

A short word seems to shake the soul. Although Aimun still cannot see the Lord's appearance clearly, this humble priest could feel that the Lord's tone was more solemn and more heart-wrenching than before.

And this indescribable sense of majesty actually quelled a trace of doubt in his heart... Yes, this is the Lord. If it is too kind, how can the authority of the Lord of Punishment be guaranteed?

"Please let me take you to the place of trial."

He replied.

So, Emmon walked with God and walked towards the square-

Xiguang City, Square-

The crowd gathered around the square execution platform. A semi-transparent semicircular rain cover used to block rainwater has been opened to block the slight rain today.

It is noon Monday, and a small number of people continue to work for the normal operation of the city, but most people, especially the believers of the Lord of Judgment, came to the square, and tens of thousands of people left their work behind and came to watch around the verdict, gathering into a sea of ​​people.

But what is different from the celebrations in the past is that this sea of ​​people is not noisy. In the heavy atmosphere, everyone keeps silent and never whispers.

Except for the subtle sound of rain, everything remains quiet.

In the center of this crowd, on the execution platform in the center of the square, a middle-aged man wearing a white background and a gold-edged priest robe was just on the stage. He had a long beard until his chest, and his body was filled with warm light, and he was holding a long draft of the verdict that he would recite before each trial.

The Grand Priest of the Temple of Xiguang City, Glo.

A chosen one.

"In addition to his own strength, there are other powers of existence. The soul is very strong."

When Aimun heard the Lord beside him comment on the Priest Gloss on the stage, he couldn't help but feel happy that he was praised by the Lord. What a great glory and recognition it was? If Gloss knew this, he would definitely be happy.

As for other existences...naturally, practitioners in the Holy Fire Continent also hold the power of God in addition to the power they forge with their faith.

Purify the soul, sublimate the belief, and condense the power of elements with it as the center. It can control the rotation of fire, wind, thunder, and even the elements of all things in the world and everything in the world. This is a common step for all practitioners on the Holy Fire Continent to purify and sublimate their own soul. In the first level of the Heavenly Selected One, the soul can even be strong enough to transcend the body, briefly unite with the elements, and control natural battles.

In addition, the gods will also reduce some divine power and give many priests stronger power.

It is said that if you reach the realm of a god-blessed person, the soul of a practitioner will even have some characteristics similar to the initial soul. At that time, you can even get the God-blessed person, perform the power of the gods, directly control the celestial phenomena, drive out natural disasters, and protect one side.

"It's a pity that I just can't be the chosen one."

However, when he thought of his strength, he was still just a mere revelation level, Aimon couldn't help but sigh. This was probably the confusion and inner demon in his heart. Aimon always couldn't help but question the Lord. Even when the Lord was beside him, he couldn't fully believe it, but he could never help but doubt it.

His beliefs were not pious enough, and this was certain, even if he recited the entire code.

"That is why I want to go to the land of God to approach the Lord in this way... And now, the Lord is by my side, and this is the best opportunity to follow His way and drive away my confusion."

At this time, on the judgement stand, the long preaching is about to end.

"...Therefore, the Lord gave us fire, illuminating darkness, and naming all things in the world, setting rules, precepts and vows. We live in the world not by the grace of the Lord, but by the Word of the Lord."

"Grace does not exist forever, but morality lasts forever. The Lord's love is given to the world through His Word. Those who absurd have abandoned the Lord's love and rejected the way of morality. They walk on the wrong path and embark on evil paths."

"The only punishment of the Lord of Judgment is waiting for these things to go along the way."

Taking this passage as the conclusion before the ruling, Priest Glod took back the long draft and declared solemnly: "The ruling begins!"

Then he stepped down and began the process of ruling.

The order of ruling criminals is random and not calculated according to the severity.

The first male offender who was pushed to the trial was a "violent family".

A revelation-level priest stood in front of the stage, and two knights escorted the sinner from the stage to the stage. The priest swore to the three Lords that his speech was not false. It was the "holy testimony" that the temple had only received after several investigations and questioned all witnesses, and then began to state the crime of the criminal.

"This man was drunk, beat his wife several times, and attempted to abuse his children several times. When the neighbor tried to stop him, he punched his neighbor. After the arrival of the Knights of the Cultivate, he still resisted and was eventually arrested by everyone."

"The D&C has a book: You should love your family. Those who do not love their family will not be able to love others, and this will deviate from the Word of God."

The priest who proclaimed the testimony was a local believer of the Judgment Lord in Xiguang City. He was very young, only in his early twenties, with a loud voice and full of vitality: "The apostate Boluo violated the precepts for the first time, apologized and admitted his mistakes, and promised not to commit them again."

"For the second time, I violated the precepts and repentance, and I was forgiven by my family."

"This time, he violated the precepts for the third time and his sins were unforgivable. Therefore, the church was sentenced to deprive him of his rights as a father and husband. His wife did not have to love him, and his children did not have to support him in the future. From today on, he must pay his wife and children every month to compensate for the raising of his wife. If he does not work and has no money, the church will force the supervision and allow him to work and be responsible for the expense of raising him."

"good!"

After hearing this judgment, immediately, a uniform shout of cheers sounded in the originally quiet square. At this moment, tens of thousands of people raised their hands together, all of them gave thumbs up and shouted loudly: "The way of justice has appeared!"

This is an agreement.

All those who came to watch the judgment were witnesses and notaries. If they felt that the judgment was wrong, they would raise objections. If they felt that the judgment was fair, they would agree. In other words, they would be responsible for the judgment.

"Okay, there are only three things. Such people are indeed punished."

And Aimon, who also raised his hand and raised his thumbs up, noticed that the Lord also raised his hand and shouted seriously.

The priest couldn't help but be happy for the Lord's recognition, and then wrote down the words.

Even if there are no three things, it is indeed one of the precepts left by the Lord. Man is not God, nor is he a perfect creature. It is common reason to make mistakes.

Just apologize for a small mistake, and compensate for losses if you cause losses. If you violate the law, it is not without room for room. As long as it is not a serious crime, the first punishment will be lighter.

Only if one truly unforgivable sins will have no room for anything, even if it is done for the first time, one will still be punished.

For example...

At this time, under the notarization of everyone, the criminal named Boro who abused his family had signed a contract for the church, was escorted by the knight, and left the judgment table dejectedly.

And the second one is a thief.

This is true unforgivable sin.

"theft?"

At this moment, Aimun heard the Lord's words again, and He seemed to be confused: "Will there still be theft in this world?"

What the Lord was thinking, Aimun felt that he could guess one or two.

Indeed, according to the code set up by the Lord for the people of fire, as long as people are willing to take action, they will never fall to the point where they need to steal. As long as they show that they have difficulties, have no food to eat, or need a job in urgent need, everyone will help each other. There is no reason to commit sin in this world.

However, it should be noted that when it comes to asking for help, you do not have to agree, and the person who is asked for help can completely reasonably refuse.

After all, seeking help is different from begging. When seeking help, the person seeking help, he must declare his future reward. For example, before borrowing money and grain from someone, he must return more than before, and at most three times the return is required. If he is not satisfied with this share, there is no need to respond to the person seeking help.

Begging is a sin for sound people. People should exchange work for money, but anyone with sound hands must work. And ordinary people do not need to give alms, and only the church has the obligation to respond to beggars.

"The Lord probably didn't expect the bad nature of people. Before the punishment comes, no one can know how terrible the punishment is. Many people cannot empathize with the pain of being punished, and they have no awe of the code of education."

Thinking of this, Aimon couldn't help but shake his head slightly, so the Divine Covenant said that if necessary, everyone should watch the process of sentencing once a year. In this way, through the execution, everyone can know how terrible it is to deviate from God's Word.

This thief is a typical example of having no fear of the Code. He was originally a fisherman living outside Xiguang City, but he was tired of the daily labor of going out to the sea. A few days ago, he did not go out to sea or catch. His home was cut off, so he took his neighbor's home to the port to ask about the news about the god's descendants and stole a sheep raised by his neighbor's home.

He originally wanted to disguise theft as a beast attack, but was noticed by a passerby and informed the church. When he was captured on the spot, he wanted to escape, but how could an ordinary person run past the knight? He was naturally brought back.

"The thief killed his hands."

"good!"

The verdict was directly aroused the approval of "good"! Everyone present gave a thumbs up and agreed indignantly: "The way of justice has appeared!"

The person who starts stealing has his heart full of filth. Such people do not want to work with both hands, refuse to repay others' help, and just want to get it for nothing.

In this case, since the criminal does not want to work, he will take back his hands so that he will never be able to work and steal in the future.

As for what will happen in the future after the thief loses his hands, no one cares about it. The perpetrator has no human rights, especially those who commit unforgivable sins, which are not within the scope of the protection of the code.

The knight raised his sword and fell, and the criminal's hands fell to the ground with his wrist. Then, the priest immediately cast a spell to stop the bleeding and heal the wound.
