Chapter 958 Defense

The huge court is made up of white huge stone blocks. The blocks are flat and fine, with tight joints and fixed with gold decoration. The overall look is rich and solemn.

The internal structure of the court presents a concave prototype, which rises up very suddenly in the middle. On it are three "noble" witnesses, and below are ten equally "noble" accompanying witnesses.

As the judiciary team, the 501 citizens are located slightly lower than them, surrounded by the accused and the accused.

And these two, the protagonists of the court this time, are located at the bottom, which is directly below the central raised part.

As for the onlookers, most of them stood outside the court and watched from a distance through special instruments.

Only a few people with slightly more identities can enter as juries and sit in the corner.

With a hat decorated with gorgeous feathers and wearing luxurious clothes, Leto first took off his hat and bowed to the thirteen "noble people" in front of him. After seeing the exaggerated movements, Tongtian couldn't help but wonder if the court had a clear rule, this guy could kneel on one knee to express his "humility".

The blockage in action did not stop Leto from expressing his mood. He muttered exaggerated praise.

"The great sage is above. I hope that today I will witness the thirteen nobles. It is really not a great honor for me to witness the thirteen nobles. It is your nobility that shines on the direction we are moving forward."

Then Leto put on his hat, turned around and bowed slightly to the judges, and said in a relatively calm tone.

"The great sage is above, may the truth shine on justice, and may the wisdom of yourselves expose the false face."

After saying that, Leto returned to his accusation position and did not give Sots, who was wearing a simplicity robe in front of him, nor did he leave time to bow to others. He directly accused: "Sots, if you have a little conscience, you should understand your inferiority when facing the Thirteen nobles and the 501 fair trial team, and retreat with shame, and admit your crime."

When talking about the word nobility, Leto turned his head to look at the thirteen witnesses above the center, lowered his head slightly to express his humility.

The standard of his movements made many people around him secretly praised him, and Tongtian sneered.

Of course, no one around heard the sound of Tongtian, nor did he know that there was one more time and place than originally expected.

"My sin? Since I was born, I have learned knowledge, explored the truth, and accumulated wisdom. This is my mission and my lifelong pursuit. What I do is for this, how can I say it is a sin?"

Holding a huge book, the edges of the plain linen robe had been washed and white, and Sots's words were very dull.

Sots' attitude obviously angered Leto, and he accused loudly: "You think dragonflies are far better than most birds, but we all know that birds are natural enemies of insects. If dragonflies fly faster than birds, how can birds be natural enemies of dragonflies? How do they prey on dragonflies?"

Sots let go of the books in his hand, and with his strong mental power, he supported the books to float in the air, turning pages, displaying his past remarks and the information he collected, and his tone remained unchanged.

"First of all, I need to point out your verbal mistakes. What I am talking about is that the flying ability of dragonflies is far better than most birds, not that dragonflies fly faster than birds, nor that dragonflies are far better than most birds. Secondly, dragonflies have the natural enemies of dragonflies. According to my observation, frogs and some fish are also natural enemies of dragonflies, spiders, geckos, and they also have the habit of hunting dragonflies."

"Secondly, I have a basis for saying that dragonflies have strong flying ability. According to my observations, dragonflies can quickly enter a stationary state during high-speed movement, hover steadily in the air, and can also switch from hovering state to high-speed flight in a very short time. Moreover, they can turn their directions in the air at will, whether downward or upward, left or right, or even fly backwards. In terms of flight ability alone, I have not seen any bird reach this level."

"So, what I said does not have the authenticity of blasphemy of knowledge, and naturally cannot be called corrupt knowledge. As for the second accusation you mentioned..."

Sortus looked through the books and pointed to one of them, "Letto, you and your friends think that I have denied the appointment of the Great Sage, the right to the 'noble person' who manages the people, and the sacredness of the Great Sage. Right?"

"Didn't you do that?"

When Leto heard this, he seemed to have grabbed Soters' handle, took a parchment roll from his waist and gently unfolded it. A large number of words appeared on it, and there were also many images of Soters's, which were already the words he said.

“There is nobility and sacredness.”

“We are all equal.”

“I am the wisest.”

As soon as these images were released, many people in the audience were shocked, and their eyes looked at Sots with scrutiny and repulsion.

But Sots shouldn't have looked, and he continued to read his huge, bulky, almost quarter-sized books of an adult man, retorting: "You are taking things out of context, distorting the facts by intercepting the words."

As he said that, paragraphs of words appeared in the air, which was against the remarks shown by Leto.

"I think there is no so-called nobility and divine under wisdom and truth."

"We are equal before knowledge, wisdom and truth."

"I am the most wise? If it is said that deeming that one is ignorance is a kind of wisdom, then I think I can say 'I am the most wise'."

The emergence of this information reversed the original situation very well. Leto pointed to the heavy book in front of Sortes and said: "You old instrument cannot record time and scenes at all, cannot determine the specific time at all, and cannot prove that the statements you show are the same statement as my temporary statements."

Hearing this, Tongtian looked at the bulky book, the parchment scroll in Leto's hand, and the crystal panel in the hand of the "noble man" above.

This thing is similar to the proof of the scholar's identity in this world, and it is also a scholar's research notes, learning records, and photographers.

The core material comes from the sacrifices of the Great Sage and many scholars, and can be regarded as the reuse of their wreckage. The information on the record can only disappear with death, which is evidence that has been recognized by the public.

But different times, these types of instruments are also different.

Although the one in Soters' hands is not the first generation, it is also an extremely early version, and does not have the function of taking photos and recording time.

"Can you explain the time of these images? I took a look and found that the light and shadow are about afternoon, noon and early morning. According to the surrounding environment, it is about spring, spring and autumn. And I have similar comments, probably in..."

Sortes pointed out the content information he saw in the images one by one, and stated that he had obtained the book since he was eighteen years old, and recorded what happened every day.

This shocked Leto, and many people also looked at Soters.

You should know that using these things requires consuming mental strength, and the time a normal person can use it in one day should be about two hours.

But Sots means that he records every day of his life.

Many people in the jury began to talk, and the "noble people" above also frowned.

One of the "noble people" slid on his crystal panel. Tongtian glanced at him and saw that he was using the contact function to communicate with several other "noble people".

[According to Sortes' current ability, it won't take long to enter the core area and contribute to everyone. Isn't it good for us to target him like this?]

Man sitting in the middle, sliding his fingers, leaving his own thoughts.

[We target him? Didn’t he target us?]

[This guy has not yet entered the core, so he wants to deny our orthodox and sacredness. If he goes in and proposes with the great sage, what should he do? Can you give up your status, or your wealth, or give up those women who throw themselves into your arms?]

Several soft-hearted witnesses sighed secretly when they saw this scene. The one who asked at the beginning couldn't help but ask another question.

【Is there really no way to do it?】

The person who spoke seemed to be the highest among the people. Tongtian could sense that the man sitting in the middle was already very angry, but he did not say anything to death.

[Atu, I know you like his words, but he offended me alone. Unless he is willing to give up his current research, he must die, or you can persuade him to leave the main city forever, exile himself, and never enter the core.]

[Everything he did was to enter the core, find the truth, and devote himself. He could not choose to exile himself. And his beliefs could not choose to give up existing research. This is really...]

【Sorry, this is a common decision by all of us.】

Attu looked at the last message on his crystal panel and the reminder of disconnection, sighed in his heart and slowly closed his eyes.

At this time, the remarks of Leto and Sots below also turned into another direction.

Because Leto said bluntly that he could not remember the time, Soters' evidence could not accuse him of taking things out of context.

But it is precisely because Leto cannot provide specific time, the images and discourses he reveals cannot prove the result of taking things out of context, and loses the possibility of being evidence.

Soters changed the other direction and launched an attack.

"Letto, you said I deny the sacredness of the Great Sage, so let me ask you, the great Sage has the highest sacredness, right?"

"This is well known, Sots, do you still want to debate with me on the sacredness of the Great Sage?"

As he said that, Leto seemed to have thought of something and tried to convict Sortes based on this.

But this time, Sots did not give Leto a chance and said first: "Since the Great Sage has the highest sacredness, then we should follow his words, right?"

“Is this natural?”

"Then, I would like to ask you, there are only 762 sentences in total. That sentence mentions the 'noble man' and pushes it to 'Your Highness'?"

Soters' words made Leto's fear change. He felt that he had fallen into the other party's trap. He wanted to refute, but was interrupted again.

"I have studied all the words left by the Great Sage. None of them mentions the "Nether" and the few "noble" are also used to describe certain knowledge, certain groups, not individuals, or a family. The Great Sage often expresses his own modesty, believing that in the face of wisdom, knowledge and truth, he is just like us, an ordinary seeker of knowledge. Therefore, what is the "Nether" who sits on it and is above, shining on your "Nether"? They really blasphemed the sacredness of the Great Sage!"

Sortus said, pointing his finger at the three "witnesses" sitting directly above the court, and below them, ten more than the accuser, ten of the accused jury.

As soon as these words were said, Leto was frightened silly. The thirteen "Your Highness" who were originally sitting above couldn't help but change his expression.

However, twelve of them were angry, shocked and fearful. Only the young man named Attu was more ashamed and painful. He couldn't help but get up, bowed slightly to Sortes, and then left the court and got to the jury.

By chance, this young man named Atu happened to be sitting next to Tongtian.

As he left his seat, the crystal panels he carried with him kept vibrating and jumped out of the signal of contact.

But Artu ignored it. He just looked at Sots ahead and put forward his own ideas.

"Knowledge, wisdom and truth are the most sacred things in the world, and their pursuits are also the most sacred actions. This is also the most noble thing for us scholars, but now you look at yourself, focus on gaining fame, wealth and status, and forget the pursuit of knowledge, wisdom and truth."

"Letto, you are known as the greatest poet in the past century. People say that your poetry can make the clear spring sweet, the flowers and plants flourish, and eliminate the competition between people. But after you became famous, you wrote such a poem? Although your current poetry is full of flowers, it has lost the emotion that makes people smile and move them compared to the past. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"And you, you think I am making trouble, and I also desire status and money, reputation and identity, but I can tell you that I don't need these. Even, I just want to persuade you to let go of your obsession with money and power, and return to your pursuit of knowledge and truth. Who was the original 'noble person'? I admired them and listened to them, not because of the status and money they possess, but because of their virtues and character."

"But now, do these so-called 'noble people' really have 'noble' characteristics? We really need to obey them, worship them, or even desire to be them?"

Soters' words shocked everyone, and Leto was so scared that he dared not speak.

The twelve "Youth Highness" above became even more gloomy. A faint spiritual power appeared on their bodies, and their fingers slid. Many people in the jury team vibrated slightly in their arms, waists, and hands.

A new line of text appeared on the roll in front of Leto's eyes, but the content disappeared again before it was revealed. At the same time, Tongtian, who was sitting next to Artu, retracted his raised finger.
