The Dark King â Chapter 437
âNo wonder that old fart didnât react to the issueâŠâ The youth remember the Temple Lordâs reaction from yesterday. Most probably the other side was aware that the matter will be complex so he just let me handle everything. However he should be aware that it would lead to a dissatisfaction of the Temple and Knightâs Hall if I forcefully took away the master.
The youth didnât know what to say as he couldnât come up with a reasonable argument.
He was just an executioner. The people from the higher ups have decided that the master Dean has colluded with the devil. He didnât have anything to with decision. Actually it was in a scope that he shouldnât be aware of.
Skagen and others looked at the silent youth. They looked at each other and continued to earnestly try to persuade the youth.
The youth slowly said after a long time of silence: âGentlemen, as architects of the God you are aware the dogma in the book of the light. The sun and the sky are the domains of the God of Light. This person is talking about flying to the sky which is against the divine right! This sin canât be redeemed. Isnât his heart rebelling against the God?â
Dudian narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath: âWould saint elaborate on why the flying in the sky is in violation of the Godâs way? Isnât it actually a right given to the mankind by the god of light? Itâs a blasphemy that you are arguing so!â
The youth replied in anger: âThe sky is the domain of the God. Since ancient times no one has set foot in the sky except devil! You are disrespecting the god of light!â
Dudian snorted: âI donât think the god of light is as selfish as the saint. The god of light has given us the right to invent items and products to make it easier for mankind. He has given me chance to understand the âsteamâ! Everything was given to me by the god of light! Why are you still arguing that I have colluded with the devil? You are slandering me!â
âYou!â The youth stared in anger.
Skagen and others saw the dispute between the two. They stood in middle to discourage them from continuing the argument. Skagen looked at the blonde youth: âSaint, its as master Dean has said. If we can create an invention which can help us to fly in the sky then we can kill the monster lurking outside the giant wall easily. We can completely eradicate the barbarians. Its all good for us. How it can be related to the devil?â
The blonde replied in a straightforward manner: âYou are old and your sight is covered by the devil. Itâs not about killing the barbarians! Once we set foot in the sky the god will be furious with us! You wonât be able to afford the disaster and punishment that will come!
Skagen and others startled. Some of them hesitated to reply.
âNobody is allowed to trample the domain of the God! If you continue to persuade then it will be understood as harboring the evil! â The youth continued.
Dudian knew how the crowd feared the God as he saw the expression on their faces. He considered his words before talking: âSaint, I have no objection if you want to arrest me. But you have to give us evidence. You are arguing that I have colluded with the devil. Its very difficult for me to accept it.â Dudian said as he looked at the youth.
The youth replied: âThe greatest evidence is that your attempt to touch the domain of the god!â
Dudian smiled: âDo you mean that the ability to master the flight is the violation of the divine right? If so then are archers violating the dogma? They make the arrows fly! I would like to ask you one more question. Is jumping regarded as the infringement too? How many meters is the limit? If you canât provide answer to my question then I have nothing to say to you!â
The youth wanted to reply but Dudian interrupted him: âMoreover I am a golden knight accepted by the Knightâs Hall! I believe Saint is aware how harsh the assessment of the Knightâs Hall is. If you want to arrest me then set off charges with the Knightâs Hall!â
âOf course, your statement have to be investigated by the particular organization. I would be glad to follow you if the evidence was found. Otherwise isnât it an injustice for you to slander me so? In the future how architects can do research? If you come over and claim that we have colluded with the devil then who would dare to invent one more thing?â
Skagen and others nodded. They knew that Dudian was deliberately inciting them but he was using the right words. If a saint came over with evidence then they wouldnât retort. However he was trying to take a master without an evidence. It was just bullying!
There was a small riot within the crowd because of Dudianâs words.
The youth was angry as he felt the change in the atmosphere. He bitterly looked at Dudian. He knew that the situation had become complicated. Knightâs Hall, magistrate and Holy Church wouldnât stand by.
The youth looked at Dudian: âWhy do you fear to go back with me if you havenât colluded with the devil?â
Dudian answered: âWhen did I say that Iâm afraid of the investigation? I am innocent. It was you who tried to slander me by saying that I have colluded with the devil. Why shouldnât I respond to this charge? Secondly, there is no evidence in your hands so Iâm just a âsuspectâ in your eyes. IF its so, then Iâm more than happy to cooperate with the investigation. But right now Iâm teaching and you came to interrupt my lecture. Moreover you hurt my attendant. In addition you tried to arrest me by force. Isnât this a bit suspicious to you?â
the youth suppress his anger: âSince everything is alright with you then letâs just leave.â
Dudian saw that the youth ignored his words so he laughed: âSaint, you have wounded my attendant and tried to forcibly arrest me! Should you give an explanation? Do you mean that hardworking architects like me are nothing in your eyes?â
The youth almost spat out blood. He showed mercy by not killing Dudianâs attendant on spot! Now his own arm was wounded and the other side wanted an explanation?
âWhy would your attendant be hurt if you had cooperated?â The youth continued: âYour attendant dared to offend me. Iâm not going to charge you for that. Do you dare to get an explanation now?â
Dudian replied: âMy attendant is loyal to me. Who asked you to directly rush out before reporting your name? I though you were an assassin sent by dark church to kill me!â
The youth continued: âNow things are clear! Come with me back to the inner wall. If you are innocent then you will be sent back!â
âFirst of all, I have yet to see the evidence of your suspicion. According to the laws of the magistrate there has to be either evidence or witnesses to charge him. Do you have evidence? If there is no evidence then why are you wasting my valuable time?â
âYou!â The youth almost went crazy. He knew that Dudian didnât intend to go back with him. The more he talked the greater advantage the other side got.
There was no evidence in his hand.
But since when the inner wall needed evidence to take people?
However, this time he wouldnât be able to take Dudian by brute force.
The blonde youth didnât want to waste time by pointless discussion. He coldly stared at Dudian: âI advise you to obediently go back with me to the inner wall. If I bring evidence in the future you wonât be pleased!â
âIs this a threat?â Dudian smiled: âI also want to advise you. Donât act like a bandit or an assassin when trying to arrest people. Use evidence!â
âAlright.â The blonde youth looked at him: âYou will regret it!â He turned and left. In the blink of an eye he disappeared from the sight of everyone.
Skagen and others looked at the direction of his departure.
Dudian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the back of the blonde youth. He turned to look at Skagen and others: âMasters! Thanks for trying to help me out! Iâm grateful!â
Skagen tried to comfort him: âI believe you. I think this matter is nothing but a misunderstanding and it will be solved out.â
Dudian nodded. Although he knew that his reputation was bound to take a damage after this.
