Chapter 513 Political Persecution Comes One Step Late
[Inquisitor]
"The Inquisition is handling the case. All outsiders must evacuate immediately!"
The Interpreter Inquisitor held the Skull and Rose Seal in his hand and led the way forward. The fully armed elite stormtroopers beside him made him even more threatening.
A group of imperial clerks were afraid of becoming a stumbling block to the other side, so they all hid aside to avoid disaster.
Seeing that the other party was walking towards the rest area of the national religion, everyone poked their heads out to see what was going on.
"Is the work very leisurely, or do you dislike working?"
But just as they looked out, the words behind them were like a cold wind from hell, making their bodies stiff.
Inquisitor Mike Woodrow gave the group of clerks a kind smile, but no one dared to smile back.
The two assassins, Qiu Lisas and Vindicare, stood beside him, and the lack of any disguise was a threatening statement in itself.
At this point the clerk ran away as fast as he could, at least not to be on the same floor as the other party.
The elevator went directly to the top of the building. In the corridor, the team of arbitrators was stopped by storm troopers with raised guns.
Of course, even if Woodrow came alone, the arbitrators would have to make way for the superior of the superior of the superior of the superior.
But, this was an arrest after all, and the presence of the stormtroopers made him feel more at ease.
What's more, the other party has a huge influence rooted in the star region. Even with the secret help of the state religion, it will be difficult to bring down this towering tree.
"Sister Dorothy, he is my interpreter after all. Isn't it a bit against the rules for you to take him down without mercy?"
Woodrow stood at the end of the corridor, looking at the trainees who had been captured by the combat sisters in front of the gate, and he knew that the situation would become confusing.
The brave and combative officials looked at the intruders fiercely. They were all warriors who had walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and they did not necessarily face fewer difficulties than the judges.
Now they were suppressing the enemy's subordinates like this, let alone fear, not even a trace of worry arose in their hearts.
“Stop talking nonsense and spend your time serving the Divine Emperor.
You can't take Bishop Dardani away, and he doesn't need to listen to your so-called crime trial."
Sister Dorothy was able to maintain her restraint. She neither drew her bolt pistol to fight back nor caused too much pain to the person who signaled.
"There is no need to resist stubbornly, and the crimes you disagree with come from within your church.
Dardani's colleagues reported to us his crimes of bribery and other unforgivable and even outrageous plans.
I believe you are a good warrior and a loyal daughter of the Emperor. Please do not be too paranoid. What we want is not bloodshed, but a more worthy unity. "
"Unite your mother*, and the God Emperor will atone for his sins.
Profits, all damn interests. A few years ago, when Bishop Dardani controlled the cardinal world, even you would visit him with respect.
Once you lose your position, you, the wild dog that smells blood, will prepare your retreat."
Despite being insulted by so many people, Woodrow was not angry. He still showed his kind smile and shouted at the gate:
"Are you going to hide behind women all the time, my respected Cardinal of the World—St. Peter Jean d'Artagnan?"
"Click."
The door opened, but the person who came was not Dadani.
"Let's get some fresh air. The smell of ink on books is not as good as the smoke from the gun barrel...Judge Woodrow."
Luke Jerry, the Dean of the Legal Department, casually adjusted his belt as he walked.
Woodrow narrowed his eyes and thought to himself that the secret mentor of the Assassin's Court really didn't lie. He thought the other party had received some benefits.
But unexpectedly, Dadani promised to give it to someone else.
"Did you come to convince him in advance?"
"No, I'm just here as a guest."
"So, you can go and do your job."
“I’ll go when I want to.”
"Well, you are welcome to do whatever you want. I have to go and do my job."
Woodrow took a step forward, and Jerry and Dorothy did the same.
The surrounding Crusaders, Arbitrators, Death Cult Assassins, and Stormtroopers were ready to go; their loaded guns and activated swords represented their nervousness.
...
“Don’t worry, what we should think about now is to determine the destination planet and try to complete the collection of the first wave of taxes within three years.
This way I can mobilize more supplies and troops from other star regions through my friends."
Gerald did not try to imagine that beautiful vision.
He hadn't used Tarot cards for a long time and felt itchy. He couldn't help but make predictions under this unskilled "political persecution".
He tried hard to stretch his stagnant spiritual energy, covering and filling the gleaming Tarot cards over and over again.
Empty your mind, let a touch of brightness shine through the darkness, and establish a connection with the unreachable subspace.
He opened his mouth slightly, and an obscure spell floated in the room, and an invisible pressure gradually gathered.
Five bright points of starlight appeared in the darkness of his mind, and Gerald picked them out one by one.
Governor Ulysses was also looking at the five selected cards with great interest.
In his own private team, there are 12 imperially certified fortune tellers, one of whom is at the fourth energy level Delta.
The divinations he made were just small-scale predictions. As for the direction of the war, more than 300 million people were very unstable.
Now, with Gerald's level of ability, without the help of other tools, predicting a Cardinal is indeed a bit of a fantasy.
Gerald turned over the first card. The light and shadow on the card faded, revealing a religious man holding a scripture.
【church】
"Faith, teachings, spiritual guidance, support and advice...Dardani?"
Gerald muttered to himself, then quickly turned over the second symbolic card to make the interpretation clearer.
【Judgment】
The weights on the scales were replaced with ammunition, and on the tray at the other end were notices of crimes.
"Judgment, replacement, the end of the old and the beginning of the new... so clear?"
The Grand Inquisitor and the Governor looked at each other for a moment. At this moment, both of them wanted to know the situation of the next card.
【tower】
The turning, fading, burning towers appeared, and desperate people jumped from them.
The two men stared at the increasingly clear cards and knew that danger, disaster, and destruction were about to come.
"Hurry..." Ulysses urged.
Gerald exhaled a breath and then turned to the fourth sheet.
[Psychic]
The psyker with his back to the warp releases his magical energy that can change the world, decomposing real matter while creating new life in the void.
“Integrate and utilize resources to build a new situation and achieve true unification!”
Gerald quickly turned over the last card, and the golden round roulette wheel with twenty-four characters appeared.
【The wheel of fate】
"The change of fate, the cyclical laws of the universe, the arrival of opportunity... Wrong!"
"Wrong? What's wrong?"
"Wrong direction... Stop!"
"Grand Inquisitor?" Ulysses asked doubtfully.
"Now is the most critical thing. As long as Dadani can be brought to justice, the Sharnask Region will be more united."
"Tell them all to stop!"
Gerald stood up and left, and Ms. May outside the door immediately followed him. Ulysses cursed inwardly, glanced at the cards on the table, and then followed him.
The transport plane was moving rapidly, and when the landing door was still closed, Gerald jumped out first.
At this time, Sister Elsa and others were confronting the Storm Troopers, and a fight was about to break out.
Gerald, who noticed the situation, stopped it immediately and saw the strange box.
His tactical eyepiece activated immediately, but the scanner could not see through the box.
"Stop, stop!"
"Your Excellency, Grand Inquisitor."
The stormtrooper captain, wearing a beret, saluted, but Gerald waved away the formalities.
"What's going on?"
"We are a group of nuns who are responsible for recovering holy relics on the cardinal's world. We have completed our mission of collecting the relics, and we have come to inform the cardinal."
Ulysses, who followed, was shocked beyond words. The spies he had planted inside the church could not complete the task within half a year.
Gerald glanced at the governor of the star zone, then looked at the strange box and confirmed that what the divination card showed was this thing.
"So, the holy relic is inside?"
The nuns nodded collectively.
"Wait here and keep an eye on the box!"
The Inquisitor gave the order and everyone had to obey. The three of them immediately took the elevator to the top of the building.
The gatekeeper saw that the Inquisitor and the nun were still in confrontation, and the three of them had different expressions on their faces.
One is calm like a lake, one is anxious like mountains, and one is relaxed like a red tide.
The people in confrontation looked at the newcomer, and during this silence, Gerald, who had been relaxed, suddenly became anxious again.
Because Judge Woodrow squirmed his body and turned into the assassin Callidus in a breath.
She turned and giggled at the people guarding the gate, the sound coming out muffled through the densely woven mask.
"This is the territory of the Tribunal. There are many secret passages leading to all directions."
Sister Dorothy's long head felt like it was exploding. She turned around and pushed hard at the door, only to find that it had been blocked from the inside.
"grass!"
She cursed loudly and raised her bolter, but this was a blast-proof door, so it was not afraid of the bombardment of the bolter, and it would even hurt everyone at this distance.
At this moment, a terrifying pressure erupted in the corridor.
In an instant, a purple-black figure rushed through the crowd and arrived in front of the gate.
The ferocious large claws swung out a bright scarlet crescent, and everyone felt that they might even die from this sight.
"Bah!"
The explosion-proof door, which was more than ten centimeters wide, was as soft as tofu, leaving five gaps two fingers wide.
The figure did not stop, and with a loud bang, he pushed open the broken door, sending pieces of iron flying all over the floor.
Everyone present was shocked by this inhuman power, and the Sachiri Assassin, who possessed negative psychic powers, couldn't help but put his hand on the eyepiece.
The demon's claws, which were more than a meter tall, slowly shrank. Gerald, who caused this scene, was not eroded by the chaotic power.
The commotion made the guests in the room extremely alert. Even when they saw Gerald, with a fierce look in his eyes, regaining his human form, they did not put down their weapons.
So as to avoid being silenced forever like Dardani who was killed by his own hands.
Gerald arrived a step late, and the real Inquisitor Woodrow, Gene, the secret mentor of the Assassin's Court, exceeded his expectations.
Sister Dorothy's eyes widened in astonishment, but her raised arm was held down by the Dean of the Legal Department who reacted faster.
Governor Ulysses looked on in disbelief. The tragic scene in the room was completely different from the plan they had discussed before.
Looking at Dardani who was cut in half by a knife, Gerald said angrily:
"Shouldn't we control it and interrogate it?"
The faces of both of them were not very good, especially Woodrow's face, which was as livid as that of a Necron.
"Forgive me for using the death penalty. Such a heretic must be eliminated."
Woodrow's cold words made people feel something was wrong. Gene's secret mentor wiped the blade of the knife, which was still warm with blood, with his sleeve.
He walked up to Gerald and whispered something to him, so much so that the Chief Inquisitor actually looked surprised.
"Put Bishop Dardani's body into a stasis field to temporarily disarm the Sisters of Battle.
Gather the remaining representatives of the state religion, but before the meeting, everyone must erase all memories from the past minute."
The news that had not been blocked spread like wildfire, and people were in panic, with everyone worrying about whether an internal struggle would occur.
The leaders of various imperial organizations were called together again, and this time the number of people gathered even reached hundreds.
Among them, representatives of the state religion were the most numerous, and cardinals from other cardinal worlds also joined the meeting.
Gerald looked at the disarmed Head Sister, his eyes were red as if blood vessels were bursting. This was the next piece of news, and how much of a devastating shock it would bring to the other party.
As for the rest of the people, when they hear the crime to be sentenced, they will show various states.
“I’m sure you all know what happened in my area half an hour ago.
This is not a situation that our court wants to see, and the correctness of Judge Woodrow's use of lynching remains to be discussed.
The reason why he acted in this way was, of course, the truth revealed by Bishop Dardani in order to protect himself.
The truth about the end of the pilgrimage and the world of cardinals that he controls.
The truth about why he refused to allow anyone to help him contain the relics.
A truth about wanting to resurrect the Emperor."
There was an uproar...
In fact, within the Inquisition, both pure and radical sects, there are sects that want to "resurrect" the Emperor.
Such as the more radical Flash Silver, Restoration Resurrection and so on.
Unlike Dadani, these are all registered official organizations.
Although they also conduct unknown experiments, most of them will be found by the Inquisitors who supervise each other.
Holy relics like Dardani, which were created with the faith of hundreds of millions of people, are like lights at night.
As a demon inquisitor, Gerald naturally knew that a small demonic object could cause chaos on a planet, a galaxy, or even a star region.
A portrait and a dagger could be so dangerous that dozens of Grey Knights paid with their lives.
If anything goes wrong with Dardani's dozen or so holy relics, the danger caused would be immeasurable.
This situation of darkness under the light made him feel scared, and now what to do with the items in the box was giving him a headache.
Cards one and two have been verified, so who do the third, fourth, and fifth cards refer to? Gerald thought.
