As with most primitive religions, there was something extralegal about the main religion that has been around for thousands of years.

Once someone becomes suspicious, an innocent person can be referred to the Inquisition without any evidence. There is no limit to the level of punishment, so there are countless cases of people ending their lives after making a bad joke.

The five great emperors, however, reorganized the sacred laws and specified crimes based on the scriptures and appropriate punishments for them.

However, aren't such legal provisions ultimately a matter of extracting and pasting them?

-The author held a private worship service with the residents of his territory. Wouldn't it be the act of heresy to arbitrarily establish a sanctuary for the Lord without permission from the Orthodox Church?

An estate happens to be destroyed due to the false accusations of a neighboring lord. This is because it is much cheaper to pay bribes to high-ranking priests than to start a territorial war by consuming food and soldiers.

And the following year, the lord who had accused his neighbor was brought to the Inquisition by one of his vassals. For reasons exactly opposite to those he accused.

-The sages of old said that we must build a church in our hearts even in desolate wastelands. However, that ruthless person used the permission of the Orthodox Church as an excuse to betray the faith of the people of the territory who wanted to properly worship the Lord in the sanctuary!

But now that the situation has reached this point, it has become impossible for those who are in the know to recklessly impose the provisions of the law. It could also be seen as a side effect of the exercise of extralegal power.

-Hey. It all depends on what you say. I know it, you know it, we all know it. But do we really have to go to this length just to win this once?

-Residing within the 'grace' of the ecliptic means proof that we are not devils who have used the kalpa. Let's leave this to each other. If you cross the line, do you think others will leave you alone?

In this way, a tacit agreement had already developed among the imperial officials. As long as they don't openly commit a serious crime like summoning a demon in front of everyone, at least they don't make false accusations among themselves.

This was one of the reasons why they could not easily detain and torture the prince, even though Prince Mores revealed his naked 'magic spirit' and arbitrarily called himself an apostle of the main god.

"This is ridiculous!"

Archbishop Wesker, who had been suffering for several days, stormed into Cardinal Myer's house late at night and complained.

She was the one who stood at the forefront of extermination of demons along with Seonghwang in the past. Therefore, she was bound to react more sensitively to the demonic energy displayed by the 3rd prince than others.

"Are you saying you're just going to leave the 3rd prince like that? dismissal! "It clearly belonged to the devil's power!"

Cardinal Meyer looked at his beloved junior with tired eyes. In fact, she wasn't the only one who had trouble sleeping for several days.

"What do you want to do, Wesker?"

"I need to make everything clear right now! As an apostle of the main god with demonic energy, there's really no way something like that is possible, right? "We need to properly investigate whether what the prince said is true or not!"
