Chapter 123 Dark Day
The invisible and intangible spiritual power spread. None of these ministers were professionals above level ten, and most of them were ordinary people. Their spirits did not even last for 0.1 seconds before they completely surrendered to the will of the Scroll Dragon.

And no one present noticed.

Nemesis’ proposal puzzled them. These ministers were obviously on the side of the royal family. Even if they knew the truth, how could they tell the truth?
Lawrence looked at Nemesis deeply and decided to trust him. As the favorite of the Lord of Known Knowledge, this scroll dragon would certainly not be so naive as to think that he could trust these ministers. On the contrary, he must be sure of something.

So he gritted his teeth and supported it aloud: “Yes, let’s ask them! I believe in the character of these ministers. Among them, there must be noble people who know the truth and have the courage to speak it out.”

Conrad looked at Lawrence with an expression that said “you’re ridiculous”, but when he realized that he was serious, he could only sigh and express his support. After all, at this moment, the interests of their two churches were on the same level.

Those who collude with the devil must be punished!

Even now, Conrad’s heart was shaken a little, and he was a little doubtful whether the truth of the matter was really the work of the Red Robe Wizards.

Saint Delis frowned and gave Leorel a look, who immediately put his hands behind his back and secretly made spellcasting gestures.

As the spell was successfully cast, he immediately used enchantment to detect the thoughts in the ministers’ minds. After making sure that they had no intention of betraying him, he secretly gave Saint Delis a look in return.

His little trick was hidden from most people, but it was seen by Nemesis and Bishop Lawrence, who was good at enchantment. However, the former did not make it public, and Lawrence did not do anything unnecessary.

“I agree, gentlemen, answer freely according to your conscience,” Saint Therese replied.

Lawrence immediately stepped forward and asked the military minister, “Did the royal family conceal anything about this incident? Do you know anything about it?”

Leorel and the others were calm and composed as they watched the Minister of Military Affairs straighten his sleeves and then opened his mouth.

“The royal family is the culprit behind this demonic phenomenon!”

The words of the Minister of Military Affairs caused an uproar in the hall. Prince Ryan looked at Nemesis in shock. The Minister of Military Affairs was not one of their people. How could he suddenly help them? Unless… it was the mysterious dragon in front of them who was causing trouble!
His thoughts were also those of Leorel and Saint Delis. Saint Delis’s face changed drastically, and Leorel also shouted: “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

Lawrence was calm and said nothing, but Conrad on the side had already noticed that something was wrong. He did not doubt whether the other party was being controlled. Any enchantment spell that could control people’s minds could not be cast silently without being discovered. There were even many spells that could detect whether the will of the recipient was affected.

Realizing that his chance had come, Conrad immediately stood up and fought back. He frowned and accused Leorel, “What are you doing? This is the evidence collection stage. No matter what he said, you have the opportunity to refute it. Why don’t you let him speak?”

Leorel knew he had lost his composure, so he took a deep breath and did not continue. The Minister of Military Affairs also seemed to be not afraid of subsequent retaliation at all, and he opened his mouth wide and spoke out everything like pouring beans.

“Leorel ordered me to transfer General Cologne and send him to Gobenland to miss the attack of the Celtic army. The purpose was to allow the Celtic army to break through the border and set off a sacrifice ceremony in Degen City.”

“The Red Robe Wizard and Leorel worked together to take both cities as their own. Not only me, but other ministers can also testify to this!”

After he finished speaking, as if to prove his words, the Minister of Finance, the Minister of People’s Livelihood, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Defense all stood up and supported the Military Minister’s accusation.

“Yes, all of this was done by the royal family. In fact, even Mizri’s joining the Red Wizards was a pawn planted by Leorel!” The words of the Minister of Finance made Leorel’s eyes bloodshot. He was the confidant of the Queen’s faction, and he knew part of the truth behind it. How dare he!

“Okay, okay! Your Majesty, what else do you need to explain?” Conrad laughed a few times, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally. He even felt that the constipation that had been bothering him for a week was about to be cured.

Saint Delis didn’t say anything, but frowned and stared at the silver-haired boy. It was him who suggested it, so he must be the one behind it. Nemesis raised the corners of his lips and smiled back. He just discovered some secrets. The finance minister didn’t know much, but he still knew part of it.

For example, the man in black who has been silent beside His Majesty the King.

Soon, he had to break the silence.

Saint Delis adjusted his expression and smiled calmly, “The testimony of these people alone is not enough, Bishop Conrad. They could be traitors bought by you.”

Conrad sneered, “The Dawn Church has a clear conscience and would never do such a dirty thing. This is not up to you, Saint Delis. The testimony of these people alone is enough for the church to sanction the Inbutu royal family!”

“You’d better prepare enough gold and silver treasures to live through the rest of your life, because soon your title of king will be removed!”

Conrad felt somewhat helpless. The king of any country had immunity. At this level alone, the church had no right to sentence the other party to any criminal law. Being able to deprive the royal aristocratic status was already the limit.

Fortunately, the dignity of the Lord of Dawn was preserved, and the hatred of those murdered Dawn believers would soon be satisfied.

Saint Delis was not afraid of Conrad’s verdict. Instead, he just sighed softly and said to the black-robed man beside him: “Sorry, I still need you to come forward.”

Conrad was a little confused and didn’t know who Saint Delis relied on, but he soon found out.

The man in black robe lifted his hood, revealing a thin, nervous and pale face. On his collar hung a badge, which was the same badge representing the holy emblem as Conrad, Lawrence and others.

A white skull faintly emerged on the rising sun, which was dark purple and almost black.

That is the Prince of Lies, the Prince of Madness, the God of Madness, the Lord of the Three Crowns.

Holy symbol of Cyric the Dark Sun.

An absolutely powerful divine being.

“The Bishop of the Church of Lies?” A trace of fear appeared on Conrad’s face.

“Hello,” the pale man smiled nervously, “Follower of Lathander, are you also here to see the glory of the One Lord?”

“How dare you!” Conrad shouted, his face full of disgust, “How dare you call your Lord the only Lord?! You are such an arrogant fool.”

He turned to look at Saint Delis and said seriously, “Is this what you rely on? Xirik? Do you know what the consequences will be if you introduce His faith?”

Saint Delis laughed, and then he seemed to be choking on his saliva and started coughing.

“Ahem. Ahem. Consequences? What consequences? I only know that my ancestors kindly introduced the faith of the Lord of Dawn, but now his followers want to cut off my crown with their own hands!”
