Seeing that the situation was not good, Aixia immediately jumped out to smooth things over and change the subject.
"Senior Kema, what are you going to do with Luka-san now?"
After glancing at Loli Luka who was still hanging on the dragon claw, Kema thought for a moment and then answered.
"Dark duelists who are involved in dark duels and have solid evidence will be handed over to the country's highest 'Council of Order' for trial. The final result is nothing more than being stripped of their noble status and duelist qualifications, and then imprisoned for a few decades."
"Locked up for decades? Wait, I'm still a young girl! Isn't that too cruel?"
Regret was revealed in her light blue eyes, and Luca Slynt felt like crying but had no tears.
Kema replied coldly: "You can tell these words to those old guys in the Order Conference."
I have seen people die because of playing cards, and I have also seen people being thrown into jail for breaking the law because of playing cards.
These things were unthinkable in the world before You Ling traveled through time, but they are indisputable facts in this elf continent.
This made You Ling once again deeply understand the differences in the rules of the social system.
If it were the previous world, You Ling would run to Uncle JC and say, I just had a dark duel, you should quickly catch the dark duelist.
Uncle JC will just think you are crazy.
However, it is good that Luca can receive the judgment and punishment that deserves her.
But what You Ling must do now is to retrieve the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom on Luka's chest.
After all, the "Council of Order" that Kema mentioned will definitely not judge the ghosts behind the scenes.
In order to prevent the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom from continuing to cause trouble, and also to fulfill the agreement with the Pharaoh.
You Ling reached out and took off the golden ring hanging on Luka's body.
However, in the next second, the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom that fell into You Ling's hands shattered and turned into black ash that drifted away with the wind.
This scene is exactly the same as the ending of the fake Millennium Wheel of Wisdom after the dark duelist was defeated in the duel in the back mountain.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this unfold, the most surprised person among all the people present was Luca herself.
"Impossible, this can't be possible! The other me would never lie to me!"
If there is an emotion called utter despair, then Luca Slint, whose eyes were lifeless at this moment, probably even had the meaning of her life denied.
Chapter 125: Verdict, Guilty 2-in-1 Chapter
is one of the three major countries in the Elf Continent.
During the hundred years of peace in the Elf Continent, the economy and national strength achieved rapid development.
It quickly became a superpower on par with the Varian Empire, which was famous for its military strength, and the Accelerate Empire, which was famous for its science and technology.
In the country of Livolden, there is Fusheng College, one of the three major dueling academies, which continuously supplies duelist talents to the country and keeps the national strength prosperous.
At this time, in the capital of Livolden, the "Order Council" of the Supreme Order Court was hearing a rarely heard case.
"Luka Sterling. Because of the involvement in the Dark Game, the duel and wounding, and the seizure of cards, it violated Article 26 of Chapter 5, Article 12 of Chapter 7, and Article 22 of Chapter 9 of the Continental Union Law. Do you plead guilty?"
Under the spotlight, the blonde girl Luca, who was forced to stand in the judgement seat, no longer had her usual lovable, pure and lovely look.
Instead, there was a gray-white prison uniform that revealed his skinny body, and cold iron chains that bound his slender wrists. His eyes were as dead as ashes, and even his elf pupils were confiscated.
"Not guilty, I am innocent."
Luca's dry lips moved slightly, and her voice was very low, but with the help of the sound amplification magic, it could be clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in the courtroom.
"Luka-san, you look so embarrassed."
The duel with the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom happened a few days ago. It was the first time for Aisha Carlos, who was temporarily summoned to the Supreme Order Court as a witness, to come to such a place.
You Ling: "Aisha, you are not starting to sympathize with her. Given Luca Slint's personality, I seriously doubt this is an acting skill!"
"Mr. You Ling, what you said makes sense, but..."
At that moment when the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom turned into black ash and disappeared, the despair in Luca's eyes could not be expressed simply by acting.
As the owner of the artifact, Luca might have really been deceived and betrayed by the artifact. As for whether she had used the Dark Game to kill innocent duelists, Aisha and Yuling were unsure.
In fact, Luca has never opened the dark game, and the host of the artifact himself does not have the ability to open the dark game at all.
"Innocent? Is that your defense, Luca Slynt?"
The chief judge of the "Council of Order" is an old man over fifty years old. The vicissitudes of life have not erased his majesty and justice as the Archbishop of Levoden.
"I don't know what the dark game is."
Still insisting on her own opinion, Luca's weak voice and pitiful appearance made other clergymen on the judgment seat begin to sympathize with her and wonder, could such a little girl really be a dark duelist?
"I have never participated in any dark games. I am innocent. I was just wrongly accused..."
At this point, tears as big as beans welled up in Luca's hollow eyes and rolled down her cheeks which had become dirty due to being detained for several days, making her look even more pitiful.
Except for the Archbishop who is the presiding judge.
With his status, he must ensure that the judgment results of the National "Order Council" will not be affected by emotions such as sympathy.
"We have already collected the testimonies of the witnesses. But I believe everyone knows that it is impossible to convict based on testimony alone. Then, please ask the Set family to present the key evidence."
"The key piece of evidence?"
Aisha and Irena, who were summoned as witnesses, also heard about the existence of such a thing as "key evidence" for the first time.
Especially after the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom shattered into black ash, all the evidence of the Dark Duel should have disappeared.
And it was the Set family who presented the key evidence.
As expected, under the spotlight of the trial meeting, the tall and sexy Kaymasett slowly walked into the conference hall.
At this moment, Kema was holding an object that You Ling had never seen before.
Judging from the appearance alone, it is somewhat similar to the "insect guide" that Aisha usually uses.
"It's the 'recording bug'!"
Aisha recognized it at first sight.
"What is a record worm?"
"A magic tool that can record scenes of a certain period of time, and then use magic power to reproduce the recorded scenes."
"Then let's just shoot a video!"
"Taking a video? What does that mean, Mr. Yu Ling?"
"Um, I'm the nickname for the record-keeper back home."
Wow, it's fine that there are "guide insects" in the other world for leaving messages and chatting, but I didn't expect that even the tools for shooting videos and recording scenes are made of "bugs".
This world has a talent tree related to modern technology. Isn’t the route a bit strange?
Aisha asked curiously, "So what did Senior Kema's recording bug record?"
Kema handed the recording bug in his hand to the judge, and after the judge confirmed that it was correct, he handed the recording bug to the presiding judge.
The Chief Judge used magic power in his old hand to activate the recording worm, projecting the recorded images onto the white floor of the courtroom.
--------------
"Since everyone is too lazy to hide it, let's end this feud with a duel. Of course, it's a dark game!"
“Hehehe, hahahahaha! I will use my invincible phantom demon to crush you completely!”
"How is it possible? How could this happen? My phantom demon, my heavenly demon, actually..."
"You, you, you, don't come over here! Yamei!"
--------------
The images played in the recording bug can be called a collection of beautiful girls' facial expressions.
I don’t know if it was a deliberate choice of the scene by Kema, but in just two minutes of video, the girl’s arrogance, domineering and bloodthirsty brutality in that dark game was vividly displayed.
It is no exaggeration to say that for Luca, this was a public execution.
Especially the most crucial scene. After the end of the Dark Game, the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom lost the soul it took from Irena, and degenerated from a white-haired loli to the appearance of Luca Slint.
In the eyes of everyone, it was irrefutable evidence.
You Ling was surprised and said, "Kaimaset, you were clearly outside the Dark Game at the time, but you actually thought of using the recording bug to record the duel process."
Yes, this is very scientific and very president-like.
"No, this is not me! You've been tricked!"
Luca, who was being publicly executed, obviously could no longer pretend to be weak and pitiful, and she started screaming hysterically.
Of course, it could also be that the anger at being deceived in her heart gave way to a sudden realization.
"Mr. You Ling, this evidence is not good, right?"
"Well, a little bit."
To be honest, this is indeed not Luca herself. She just borrowed her image and is the spirit behind the Millennium Wheel of Wisdom.
But if Aisha, Irena and Kema don't reveal the secret of the ghost at this time, who will believe Luca?
False evidence, perjury.
Kemaset's trump card can almost be regarded as a frame-up of Luca.
"Student Aixia, I advise you not to say anything next."
Irena, who was also sitting in the witness stand, suggested in a low voice.
"Why, Irena-senpai?"
"The Sett family is the family of the Grand Duke of Liwarden. The Slynt family is one of the three great families of the Varian Empire. That's all I have to say."
It was just a simple reminder that behind all this, there was something darker and dirtier, with intrigues among the nobles. Irene didn't want these things to contaminate her favorite schoolmate.
The presiding judge said: "The evidence is irrefutable, Luca Sterling, what else do you have to say in your defense?"
"What kind of irrefutable evidence is this? Where is the irrefutable evidence?"
There were signs that her mind was gradually becoming confused. Luca's once clear and pure eyes now looked cloudy. Her hands, handcuffed by cold shackles, kept pointing at the playing screen.
"Can't you see that I wasn't the one? I was framed, I was deceived, I was... I was also a victim!"
"Shut up, Luca Slynt."
Kema's cold words were so penetrating that they echoed throughout the courtroom, instantly stopping Luca's chaotic shouting.
"You are so ugly now. You are just a clown in the palace. The Slynt family will be ashamed of you."
It was still the same condescending look that made Luka feel pressured. At this moment, Kema looked at Luka as if he was looking at a piece of waste that he wanted to throw away immediately after using it.
"Kemaset! You! Tricked me!"
Luca, who realized the truth behind the trial, gritted her teeth and almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth that were about to break.
"quiet--!"
The gavel hit the table, and after the presiding judge gave an order, the entire hall returned to silence.
"There is no room for excuses now. Lucaslint was involved in the Dark Game and violated many continental laws. And because of his bad attitude, he refused to plead guilty, which is an even greater crime. On behalf of the Supreme Order Court, the Order Council, I announce the final judgment."
"The verdict is guilty!"
"Sentenced to fifteen years in prison!"
"Ten, fifteen years..."
At this moment, she had completely lost the strength to defend herself or struggle. Like a puppet with its strings cut, Luca, unable to stand, sat down on the floor of the judgement bench with her legs limp.
"Why, let me encounter such a thing? This is not right, there must be some misunderstanding. Hey, are you kidding me, making me stay in such a dark and dirty cell for fifteen years? I am the daughter of a noble. This is not funny at all!"
The chief judge said solemnly: "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Your status as a noble cannot be a shield for you to be involved in the dark game. Take him away."
In response, two female priests held Luca's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right. The petite blonde girl was dragged forward because her legs were weak.
"Let me go, let me go! I am innocent, I am innocent, please let me go!"
In the last-minute struggle for survival, Luca glanced at Aisha Carlos in the witness stand, as if she had found a life-saving straw in despair.
"Aixia, save me, Aixia! Aren't we roommates? You should know that I am innocent, I have been wronged. Please, help me say a few words."
