Chapter 688 The Judgment Center of the Theocracy

Time in The Theocracy always flies by - just like the last day of vacation.

Before long, the clear afternoon sky was approaching dusk.

After the feast, Aiwass and the others headed to the eighteenth circle.

Because while they were still having their meal, they had already received news that the "rat" had been caught by the Pope's guards.

He is obviously a fifth-level transcendent, and it is difficult for even a national-level organization to have a few top-notch experts. Being captured by the elves of the Theocracy was easier than catching a chicken. It is said that the other party did not even try to resist, and surrendered directly after the Pope's guards revealed their identity and purpose.

The total time from the incident to the arrest of the assassin did not exceed two hours. This is even before the Magic Mirror is put into use.

And because he was found in the 18th Circle, he was immediately imprisoned. Now he is waiting for the pure white saint and the "acting pope" to go to the interrogation in person.

——Although the Holy Crown has not yet been officially handed over, Aiwass has been the eternal pope of this term since the election ceremony. He must come to see such a big event in person.

"Will His Majesty the Pope also come to see us?"

In the 18th circle, Cardinal Dominic, who was greeting several people, asked with a smile.

"Just acting as pope."

Aiwass soberly corrected: "Your real Pope is actually His Highness Gray."

The cardinal responsible for managing the eighteenth circle is Cardinal Dominic.

Among all the exaggeratedly dressed cardinals in the Theocracy, this one can almost be called the wildest.

The cardinal's robe she was wearing was more like a mental patient's straitjacket than a bishop's robe - there were three shackles between her boots. His hands were tied behind his back by chains, and there were more than a dozen metal locks of different sizes and styles hanging from his body. The heavy straps completely tied her up, giving the pure white robe a sense of sacred taboo.

But unlike this outfit... Cardinal Dominic is the cardinal of the most radical "Judgment Center" faction.

"It doesn't matter whether you represent the Pope or not. The main thing is that I am indeed very interested in you."

Cardinal Dominic, who has long gray hair and a veil on his head, said softly: "You are not only the first human pope. In the past two thousand years, you are also the first male pope... and the first professional pope in history. or the Pope.”

"Professional..."

Aiwass murmured.

He was a little surprised: "Do you support professionals?"

"I had a good relationship with Cardinal Loki and his Controlled Fire."

Cardinal Dominic said frankly: "I think the professional system is the future of the world."

As early as on the road, Aiwass listened to Chunbai's brief introduction to Cardinal Dominic's ideas.

Generally speaking, her idea is that "the best contribution we can make is an absolutely fair reward and punishment system."

Cultivate habits through systems and transform behaviors through habits, thereby creating a relatively better environment that will continue to get better. And such a thing cannot be organized and completed by the parties themselves... Because if power is solidified for a long time, it will lead to corruption, but if power changes too quickly, it will lead to changes in orders overnight.

Therefore, it is up to the "elves" to complete the systematic transformation for them. Elves look down on the interests of short-lived species and will not be bribed; elves did not grow up locally, so they do not have complex interpersonal networks; elves have long lifespans and strong strength, and can implement a policy completely and firmly. policy for hundreds of years. Moreover, the "Judgement Center" at the rear also has a complete reporting and supervision system to prevent the "Elf Governor" at the front from doing anything too excessive.

"The inheritor is the 'power of the nobility' - although elves do not have the concept of 'nobles', in fact it is not something that commoners can have access to. Only by having enough connections can one gain knowledge at a very young age. Provide targeted training to align yourself with a certain heritage.

"But it's impossible for civilians to do this. It's even less possible for those people who are suffering - it's very difficult for them just to get the inheritance, and it's even harder to inherit the power. And according to my experience, if you just put the inheritance If we go out, a new class will be formed among human beings - those who can inherit the inheritance will be nobler than those who cannot. So in this way, we will create a new aristocracy. "

Cardinal Dominic sighed as he led Aiwass and the others inside.

Aiwass had some questions: "But don't professionals also need talents?"

"Strictly speaking, it's not necessary."

Dominic shook his head: "Any race that can dream has its own path adaptability. Human beings are a mixed race of nine paths, and because of this... the separation of adaptability will be more serious.

"In most cases, people without talent actually do not have the talent to become extraordinary people at all. It is that their talent direction deviates from the power they can obtain. For example, people who yearn for art, or people with strong desires, they There may be a way out in Iris, but not in Avalon because Avalon lacks the transcendent vocational training in the path of beauty and the path of love.

"The reason why the former Herasl Empire had so many talented people was precisely because it was an era where there was no discrimination or prejudice against any path."

"—but they were also destroyed by it."

Lily said suddenly.

After a brief silence, Dominic nodded slowly: "Yes. Because of this, we must manage the extraordinary ones."

As the most tough and radical faction in the Theocracy, almost all the cardinals of the "Judgement Center" have contracts with the Silver Crown Dragon.

From another perspective - the Judgment Center itself is also the Theocracy's army. Except for a few in the Mediator faction, almost all Paladins belong to the Judgment Center.

——According to the rules of the Theocracy throughout the ages, the Theocracy cannot directly interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. But if you just rely on words, no one may listen...or in other words, the local rulers will definitely interfere.

Therefore, the "Judgment Center" thought of a way to circumvent the rules... that is to send the Paladins of the Judgment Center to the local area to judge some sinners and villains that the people are eager to destroy, and to teach them the ability to protect themselves.

In this way, they gain the support of the people at the bottom and allow themselves to stay in the local area reasonably. The opponent cannot physically drive away these old-fashioned paladins, and they dare not directly send troops to encircle and suppress them.

Because of this, the Trial Center is also the faction with the worst external reputation in the Theocracy... because their actions have actually caused "interference." And this kind of interference is still controversial even within the Theocracy, let alone foreigners.

However, from another perspective, the Judgment Center is also the faction with the best reputation in the Theocracy - because except for them, the elves of any other faction will almost only treat the symptoms when encountering major problems, or even just help people reduce harm and harm. Influence. No matter what hardships this generation will face in the end, this is an inevitable part of what this country faces.

Even those mediators who are chivalrous and righteous will only care about the injustices they encounter around them. Because there are too many and too complex things outside of "at your fingertips." Relying only on your own strength, you can't manage it all in a lifetime.

——Only the Judgment Center will come all the way.

Not for any gain, they help them eradicate those evil party thieves and will continue to stay here to protect them.

If the weak call for help, they will come. No matter who the enemy is, there will be a fair trial - not for the sake of romance, but for the sake of justice.

This is the center of judgment of the Theocracy, and it is also the reason why there are almost no paladins in the Theocracy.

Because the Paladin is almost always out and about and will not sit in a chair to meet people.
