Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

Isn't the Holy Tribunal currently hunting down Eisendall all over the world?

“Ender, give up. You had no hope from the start,” Essendel sighed.

"The support you received from Yizhisha in Parthenon was all fake."

It was only during this time that he learned that ever since the Wen Tai incident, Yi Zhi Sha had been trying to erase the stain of being bribed.

Of those involved in that incident over the years, more than half have died or been injured, and this was not only Ye Chang's doing, but also Yi Zhisha's behind-the-scenes instigation.

"..."

"fake?"

As Eisendall and Ye Chang revealed some secrets about the election, Ander's expression shifted from surprise, doubt, and confusion to finally returning to calm.

Yes, she should know.

Who is her teacher, Izusa? How could she possibly give up on her...?

“You’re calmer than I expected,” Ye Chang said.

"I must say, as expected of someone trained by Izusa."

Everything from childhood to adulthood was a deception, including Mei Ruolan standing beside her. Ander was merely a victim of the Yizhisha Plan.

Another saint, Paneja, was also one of Izsa's people.

This seemingly intense goddess election was actually just a stage play manipulated by Izusa.

"So, what's your choice now?" Lü Cheng asked.

"Is this the end, or should we proceed as I request?"

"Your demands? To be your pawn, to be eliminated after this election?" The light in Ander's eyes had vanished.

Every election for goddess is bloody; the losers are destined for eternal damnation. Rather than becoming prisoners, burdened with a host of stigmas, and unable to find peace even in death, it's better to...

Lost in thought, Ander had already reached the edge of the flying pavilion, just one step away from falling off the sacred mountain.

"Aren't we going to stop her?" Ye Chang asked.

“I always respect other people’s choices, unless they have a grudge against me,” Lü Cheng shrugged.

"And she and I didn't have any interaction."

"I just didn't expect someone who could stand in the position of a candidate to be so cowardly."

cowardly?

Ander snapped out of his daze and turned around. "What makes you say that?"

"The first reaction after learning the truth is not to resist, but to choose suicide to escape. What is this if not cowardice?" Lu Cheng said.

"You don't actually think it takes a lot of resolve to face death, do you?"

"Death is not scary. On the contrary, it is the simplest thing in the world that anyone can do."

"Living is the hardest thing."

"I wonder what Athena, the first goddess who created the Parthenon, would think if she knew that her descendants had all turned out like this."

"I doubt you'd be proud of them, would you?"

Clean? Glorious and sacred?

There are no perfect things; the brighter the light, the deeper the darkness.

“But what good will it do me to keep living?” Ander said with a bitter smile.

Those who outwardly support her are all Yi Zhi Sha's henchmen, including Pennyja. Parthenon is still under Yi Zhi Sha's control.

alive?

If she continues to live, she will only become a scapegoat for those filthy people like Izusa.

Do you think these people, including those in front of us, would be so kind?

“I wasn’t that kind of person,” Lü Cheng said.

"But a certain little girl was still so naive that she thought that since fighting and death could be avoided, then naturally we should try our best to avoid them."

Ander was taken aback. "Ye Xinxia?"

The little girl who suddenly appeared was indeed naive. She might know some of the rules of struggle, but she had no experience in it.

“Parthenon is truly disgusting now, and the light of the Holy City is no longer pure. The world needs to change, not continue to rot like this,” Lü Cheng said.

Humanity's greatest enemy has never been any demon, but itself.

Some so-called "wisdom" is unnecessary, while so-called social skills consume a lot of human and material resources.

To put it bluntly, there's still not enough of a sense of urgency.

“But Eisendell’s affairs have already been exposed,” Ander said.

"According to you, Merora and the others are just pawns used by Izhisha to control me. If I continue to live, they will still force me to die."

She thought that as long as Essendel wasn't caught, the charges wouldn't be proven, but that wasn't the case; from the very beginning, she had no way out.

Merola and her group possessed more detailed evidence of the crime.

"Evidence?" Lu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.

"What evidence? Oh, no, what constitutes a crime?"

"Do you think it's a crime? Or does Yizhisha think it's a crime?"

"Or perhaps the Holy Tribunal deems them guilty? Or perhaps those people below them?"

“Of course, it’s the Court of Judgment,” Ander said.

"Why?" Lu Cheng asked.

Ander was taken aback, "Because..."

"Can't say it? Then I'll say it. Because the Holy Tribunal controls the most powerful group of mages among humankind, they decide right and wrong," Lu Cheng said.

"If the Holy Tribunal isn't strong enough, would you still be afraid?"

Will people take the Court of Judgment's verdict seriously?

Ander looked puzzled. "What are you trying to say?"

Resisting the judgment of the Holy Tribunal?

What a joke, even the Holy Son Wen Tai from back then is dead.

Behind the Holy Tribunal lies the Holy City, humanity's most powerful violent institution. Only by becoming a goddess and controlling the true armed forces of Parthenon can one have the right to negotiate with the Holy City.

So after Eisendall was found guilty, she merely lowered her profile. As long as she could hold out for this period, and as long as she became a goddess and gained control of Parthenon's armed forces, the Holy Tribunal would not escalate the situation further.

Wen Tai lost back then because Yi Zhi Sha didn't help him, and even betrayed her own family for the greater good.

Otherwise, Wen Tai would not have died.

“What I’m trying to say is very simple; you don’t need to worry about these issues,” Lü Cheng said.

"Don't say that the Holy Tribunal only found evidence of Eisendall's crimes, it would be the same even if they had evidence of your crimes."

"If I say you are guilty, you are guilty; if I say you are innocent, you are innocent!"

"..."

226. Chapter 224 Maintaining the Status Quo

226.

……

"These are the current rankings of the contestants. Let's take a look together."

Jiang Yu obtained the materials and distributed them to everyone.

"This ranking is based on performance in the previous elimination rounds and treasure hunt. Currently, the number one spot is undisputed, and that is our captain."

"I heard from our teacher that many ancient magical clans have fled to Venice. Can you guess what they're here for?" Jiang Yu said mysteriously.

"Watching the final?"

Jiang Yu shook his head. "The competition isn't that attractive to those magic clans."

"They can't be here to drop off their daughter, can they?" Mo Fan said casually.

"..."

The air fell silent.

Jiang Yu looked at Mo Fan with a strange expression.

No, why does this guy's thought process always work like this?

Can you guess this?

"Really?" Mo Fan was completely dumbfounded.
