"I have an opinion."
Upon hearing this voice, Doan's chubby face couldn't help but twitch. Then, he lifted his head and looked down.
Along with this action, the crowd below automatically opened up a path. Shortly after, a young man in a black attire emerged from the gaps in the crowd leisurely. Then, he arrived at the altar, lifted his head, and gazed at Doan.
Looking at the young man, Doan couldn't help but be taken aback.
It wasn't that he didn't think that someone would oppose him, but he thought that most of them were young and hot-blooded.
Even though this young man was young, judging from his luxurious attire, he must be from a big family. Why would such a person come looking for trouble?
At this thought, Doan couldn't help but glance at Mason, who stood not far behind him, with a displeased expression.
If this matter was led by the Violet family, it would be fine. Now, he could still ask for Mason's opinion.
But the problem was that Doan was the one who took the initiative to help in order to curry favor with Mason.
Therefore, he could only bite the bullet, bite the bullet, and endure it.
Thinking of this, Officiant Doan secretly snorted in his heart before he opened his mouth to ask.
"What opinion do you have?
Mister?
I think you may not know, but even though this old man looks pitiful, he is, in fact, a villain who violated the doctrine. Even though I don't know who you are, I think it's best that you don't get involved in this trouble. "
High Priest Doan thought that his words were on point, and he had even pointed out the importance of this matter, both overtly and covertly.
If the other party were an ordinary noble child, he would have retreated in the face of difficulties.
But what he didn't expect was that Jenn wasn't moved in the slightest. Instead, he didn't even look at Doan. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Old Peter with a smile.
"Mr. Peter, it seems like there was a little accident with your defender … How about it? Are you still willing to let me be your defender?"
"I'm willing!
Mister!
I'm willing! "
This time, in the face of Jenn's inquiry, Old Peter no longer refused and immediately nodded his head.
He had hoped that the Harvest Shrine would let him go, but he didn't expect the Harvest Shrine to be so ruthless. It was as if they were planning to wipe out his entire family!
Although Old Peter was a devout believer of the God of Harvest, he couldn't care less now that his family was about to be destroyed.
After all, he was just a normal person, not a fanatic who was willing to die for the church.
Therefore, after hearing Jenn's question, he finally couldn't care less about his previous worries and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Looking at this scene, Officiant Duo An frowned. No matter how much he calculated, he did not expect someone like this to appear out of nowhere at this critical juncture.
Moreover, Jenn was not someone from Violet City, but someone from outside. No one knew what kind of background he had.
Therefore, Officiant Doan was somewhat worried, so he did not immediately respond. Instead, he gave Old Peter a deep look.
"Old Peter, are you sure you want to do this?
He is an outsider and no one knows who he is.
If he has ulterior motives, then you won't just be sentenced to 20 years in prison. "
"Haha …"
Old Peter had naturally heard the warning in Officiant Doan's words. If it were just now, Old Peter might have been a little worried in the face of Officiant Doan's warning.
But now, after experiencing such a 'trial', Old Peter was already disheartened. Even if Jenn had ulterior motives, so what?
At most, he would be sentenced to death immediately. This way, he could save 20 years of suffering. But I don't know about his daughter … Thinking of this, Old Peter's gaze became firm again. Then, he looked up at Officiant Doan and shook his head forcefully.
"You don't have to worry, Officiant Doan. I have decided."
"Good … Very good!"
Hearing Old Peter's words, Officiant Doan's expression turned a little ugly. He glared fiercely at Old Peter, then turned his head to look at Jenn.
"So, sir, since you want to be Old Peter's defender, you should at least report your name."
"Oh, my name is Jenn."
Hearing Officiant Doan's question, Jenn shrugged and said.
Upon hearing his answer, Officiant Doan frowned. Clearly, he wasn't satisfied with this answer.
But this also made him more and more puzzled, because in Officiant Doan's memory, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere …
"Well, Mr. Jenn, you can now be Old Peter's defender."
But thinking about it in public, Officiant Doan didn't dare to say much and could only nod in agreement.
Then, he smiled and stared curiously at Jenn.
"But I want to know, as Old Peter's defender, what evidence are you going to show to prove his innocence?"
While speaking, Officiant Doan also secretly made up his mind. No matter what evidence this young man in front of him took out later, he would say that the other party's evidence was forged and couldn't stand up to scrutiny.
In this way, no matter how much he said, it would be meaningless.
Upon hearing High Priestess Doan's question, Zayen smiled, looked at High Priestess Doan, and said.
"First of all, I want to confirm that the Harvest Temple believes that Mr. Peter violated the doctrine because he used other means to make flowers bloom during the winter when everything was in hibernation and distorted the laws of nature, so he should be punished, right?"
"… That's right."
Although he didn't know what Jenn was going to say, in the face of his question, Officiant Doan nodded after hesitating for a moment.
In any case, he still had some pride. Although he had done a lot of things in private before, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he naturally couldn't change his words now.
And hearing Officiant Doan's answer, Jenn nodded in satisfaction. Then, he suddenly turned his head, looked at a statue in the center of the square, and asked.
Upon hearing High Priest Doan's answer, Zayen nodded in satisfaction. Then, he suddenly turned his head, looked at a statue in the middle of the square, and asked.
"By the way, I'm not too familiar with that statue … Can I trouble Officiant Doan to tell me about the statue's origin?"
"This …"
Hearing Jenn's question, High Priestess Duo 'an could not help but be taken aback. He stared at the young man in front of him and really could not figure out what he was up to.
However, this question was very easy for Archbishop Doan to answer, so he didn't hesitate much, and immediately answered.
"That's the statue of Saint Vicar. He was the greatest hero of the Harvest Temple and even the entire Eagle Highland because he cultivated wheat seeds that could grow three seasons a year.
If he hadn't cultivated such a wheat seed, I'm afraid neither our Violet City nor the Eagle Plateau would have been able to obtain enough food to feed our people. "
"Well said."
In the face of High Priestess Duo An's' introduction ', Jenn also nodded in agreement.
Then, he chuckled and looked at High Priestess Duo 'an.
"Then, why didn't you dig up his grave?
And then completely purify him? "
"What do you mean by that?"
Hearing Jenn's words, High Priestess Duo An's face immediately darkened. Although he still didn't know what was wrong with his answer, Jenn's words were obviously mocking and despising him.
"It's simple. It's not scientific at all to cultivate wheat seeds that can grow three seasons a year. There has never been such a thing in the world.
However, this Saint of yours dared to go against the will of nature and the thoughts of the Gods. He cultivated the wheat seeds that were supposed to ripen once a year into three seasons a year … How could the Harvest Godly Temple not have any reaction to such a rebellious and insane thing?
If Mr. Peter should be punished for what he had done, then shouldn't the saint be punished as well?
Is there any difference between their methods? "
"This …"
Hearing Jenn's words, High Priestess Duo An was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Jenn to compare these two things. And in this way, the most important part of his argument was easily torn apart by Jenn!
If Jenn said something else, High Priestess Duo An could still find a way to twist his topic.
But the problem now was that Zayen was using the spear of a son to attack a son's shield, using the reason he had just said to attack him, leaving High Priest Doan with no way to refute.
Because if he refuted, it would be equivalent to swallowing everything he said just now.
But if he didn't refute … Wouldn't it mean that what Jenn said was right?
For a moment, facing such a situation, High Priestess Duo An didn't know what to do.
And at that moment, the crowd below seemed to have reacted to Jenn's words and couldn't help but start expressing their support.
They also realized that this young man was right. If the Harvest Temple were to use this reason to deal with Old Peter, wouldn't it be equivalent to denying the saint's merits?
And if the saint didn't do anything wrong back then, how could Old Peter's actions be considered wrong?
"This … This …"
Looking at the crowd below that gradually began to clamor again, High Priestess Duo An's expression stiffened. Beads of sweat appeared on his smooth forehead, and he was completely at a loss as to what to do.
One had to know that at that moment, he was still confident of winning. But he didn't expect the tables to turn in the blink of an eye. Now, not only could he not pass the judgment leisurely, but he also had to face the blame of the crowd.
And facing such a scene, Doan was also extremely anxious.
He clenched his fists and didn't know what to do for a moment.
And at that moment, perhaps because he had an idea, High Priestess Duo An's eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly.
"That's right, because when Peter did all this, he used magic!
It's magic!
Magic is the product of evil!
And he used magic to distort and even force those flowers to continue blooming in winter. That is the root of all evil! "
Hearing High Priestess Duo An's answer, the crowd instantly quietened down.
And in response to such a statement, Jenn only chuckled. Then, he looked at High Priestess Duo An and asked.
"High Priestess Duo An, may I ask if this is your personal opinion?
Or the official opinion of the Order of Holy Church? "
