While chatting, Cardinal Dominic led Aiwass and his party through the interior, and soon reached the deepest point.
This place is completely different from the loose and natural-style correctional facilities outside.
I don’t know when the surrounding buildings were suddenly covered with a layer of silver-white light metal. Dense black runes are painted on the walls, which looks like a wonderful artistic style.
Aiwass just stayed in this space and felt the illusion of tightness coming from his exposed skin - it felt like wrapping himself in plastic wrap The same skin. His wrist kept feeling a faint discomfort, "as if he was wearing a heavy watch", but as soon as he lowered his head, he could immediately confirm that this was just an illusion.
That is the impact of overflowing authoritative power on the material world.
——This entire building has been turned into the "temple" of the Silver Crowned Dragon.
Even if the entire eighteenth circle is equivalent to the prison of the Theocracy, this silver temple is the "prison within the prison".
In this area, even a first-level lawyer can easily exert the binding power of a third-level person.
This is a field that is quite the style of the Theocracy - if you want to achieve this kind of intensity of continuous gain simply through ritual means, then the price you pay is almost unbearable.
The elves’ idea is to build a large enough temple. This is much simpler than the former... You only need to allocate enough bishops according to the area, and then the entire building can be continuously sanctified.
Aiwass visually determined that this prison for serious criminals, which is actually a "temple", is at least 30,000 square meters - an area equivalent to the size of four standard football fields.
Not because there are enough criminals locked up inside.
It is because everything inside is not in circulation with the outside world - it forms a self-circulating system within it, and the criminal's "atonement" must also be completed within it. Unless specially approved, even the bishop who enters cannot leave at will... because even the warden here is himself a member of the felons.
——That is, Cardinal Dominic himself in his straitjacket.
"...Have you ever committed any crime, Dominic?"
Aiwass asked curiously after hearing this.
Cardinal Dominic said gently: "That's a lot, Acting Pope Aiwass."
"The Theocracy does not have [laws]. Therefore, no one can judge another person as a matter of course - and as I said before, criminals in the Theocracy must demonstrate their worth.
"Those who can heal others can heal others, and those who can synthesize medicine can work as alchemists. If you have the talent for research, writing, and calculation, they can all use their abilities. place. Even if they don’t know anything, the Theocracy generously provides them with training... I think.You can learn anything, as long as you contribute enough value in the end.
"But even so, there are still stubborn fanatics. Some are real deadwood, with nothing but evil deeds and no ability to learn valuable work; they contribute The value is far less than the damage they caused. There are also some who are unwilling to cooperate..." As he said, Cardinal Dominic raised his hand slightly.
A heavy door without a door handle opened up and down, like a beast with its mouth open.
There is a woman in the room. There is no trace of his body, his hands are separated to the left and right, and they are fixed in the void by the silver-white triangle of light. Her feet naturally drooped, and a larger triangle of light brought her feet together and tied them together, making her suspended in the void.
At the same time, there were at least twenty strong light sources shining at her from all directions, making her body shine with a dazzling light. No part of the body is connected to the "shadow".
The woman raised her head in shock, but could not see clearly who was coming at the door. Then she closed her eyes again under the stimulation of the bright light.
Isabel immediately blushed and turned her head subconsciously. When she saw Aiwass still looking at him intently, she immediately puffed her lips. But considering that this was business, Her Majesty's puffed cheeks deflated quickly like blown bubbles.
Cardinal Dominic continued: "Because they are unwilling to cooperate, they cannot provide any value.
"And for these people, the 'Decomposition House' will be dispatched.
“To completely disintegrate sinners who are irredeemable and have no value... Such behavior is tantamount to murder. And it is a more serious crime than murder... There must be someone to bear such a sin. .
“—That’s me.
"I am the one who signs these documents. I am solely responsible for the 'necessary evils' of the Theocracy..."
...A necessary evil?
Aiwass suddenly heard a familiar term, so he turned back to look at Cardinal Dominic.
Cardinal Dominic took a step forward and stared at the master assassin who was locked in a bright light.
“A master assassin from Hawkeye, a fifth-level [Shadow Dancer]. He was hired by Cardinal Loki for one million star antimony gold coins to assassinate the Eternal Saint Grey. .
"Kate Ludwig, who is sixty-five years old this year, possesses the fourth-level path of beauty and the fifth-level path of adaptation, codenamed [Honey Badger]. The disciple of [Butterfly], the mentor of [Little Deer], [Dancer] and others. To date, he has served the Hawkeye organization for fifty-eight years.
"The motivation for joining the Hawkeye organization was originally because your parents, who were members of the Congress and a famous dancer, were attacked and killed by the Moon Children. Your mother was awakened to become the new Moon Child and followed the instructions she had during her lifetime. Memory, went back and continued to hunt you, who was placed in her brother's house. Although she didn't find you, she still killed you.He killed your uncle's entire family, and at the same time transformed some of them into new children of the moon.
"You currently hold three identities on the surface at the same time: dance teacher, congressman's widow, and female fortune teller. As a congressman's widow, you have had four lovers and married two of them. One of them had a bad relationship with you and divorced, and the other was the son of the moon who was designed to be assassinated by you.
"You have three children, one boy and two girls, all of whom have joined the Hawkeye organization. None of them know your true identity, and one of them is your disciple 'Little Deer'...
"...Do you want me to continue?"
Cardinal Dominic His face became serious and ruthless.
She read out the other party's identity word by word and unraveled the other party's secrets.
Kote Ludwig, codenamed [Honey Badger], just smiled bitterly: "Do I need to say anything else? Haven't you already seen my memory clearly? ”
In the past, this would definitely have been left to Cardinal Loki for stargazing and divination.
But Cardinal Dominic did not use divination—she used the advanced divine arts of the authoritarian path to directly read the other party's memory.
"What do you want?"
Cardinal Dominic said calmly: "If you are going to be sentenced to death, what is your last wish?"
"... Anything?"
The honey badger asked.
She is not afraid of her own death, or in other words, as a failed assassin, she has already expected this.
"That's not necessarily true, but it doesn't stop you from saying it first... maybe anything really is fine."
Cardinal Dominic shook his head slightly, noncommittal.
"Then I hope... you can let Alice de Harcourt go."
The honey badger pondered for a moment and replied: "Because she really has nothing. To do so, the only responsibility is to know the truth and not report it. Based on her position, she cannot betray her identity. At most, she can only keep silent. You can verify the authenticity of this aspect to your heart's content... She She's just being used by me."
"Why should we let her go?"
Cardinal Dominic asked, "Do you have a good relationship with her? Or do you think you don't? Should we drag an irrelevant person into the water?"
"...Because the Hawkeye organization cannot easily bear the anger of Duke Harcourt"
The honey badger smiled helplessly: "Especially. It’s Hawkeye after losing me.
“Alice is the most beloved daughter of Archduke Harcourt, and both Hawkeye and Iris Gazette are using her identity. If it succeeds, then everything will be fine; but now if it fails, there will definitely be a price to pay.
“——If Duke Harcourt has a bad feeling for Hawkeye because of this incident, those old nobles who are like grassroots will also follow suit and draw a clear line with Hawkeye. But Hawkeye is for of human soulAn organization of freedom and resistance——
“It would be ridiculous if the Children of the Moon seize power because of something like this.”
