Cold and restrained idealism attack × cold and poisonous tongue sharp beauty suffers
Slow and serious drama, Western fantasy and strong.
"I once thought that the pure laws of the Holy City were like the bells on the white tower, clear, just, and never deflected."
Later, Auris Isidore understood that the reason why the bells never made mistakes was because everyone who heard the mistakes had died on the judgment seat.
Asterion, the City of White Stone, is the holy city above all cities. The world believes that the laws here are pure and flawless, because the marks of sin will appear on the guilty, the Hall of Mirrors will illuminate the filth deep in the human heart, and the proclamation of the Hall of White Crows is the holy scripture given by the first light.
Oris Isidore was once the most loyal defender of this order. As the youngest Grand Inquisitor of the Clean Law Academy, he is calm, restrained, and strict. He does not believe that the Holy City is naturally innocent, but he still believes that as long as the Clean Law can still be implemented correctly, Asterion still has the possibility of being corrected.
Until the urgent case that should have been settled quickly was brought to him. Those old names that had been buried deep in the case files finally showed some cracks after years of silence. Old cases have been rewritten, witnesses have been replaced, miscarriages of justice have not always occurred in the Hall of Mirrors, and the marks of guilt are not ironclad evidence left by the gods. Those who kneel on the judgment seat are just the most suitable names to be sacrificed in the power struggle in the Holy City.
The person who came to Auris was Celestine Novalan of White Crow Hall. He has an almost saintly beauty and a voice that is enough to soothe a crowd, as well as chilling interrogation techniques.
When the crow of the white crow tore apart the old books, Oris realized that the person he wanted to judge was never a certain sinner, but the city itself that covered up sins in the name of holiness.
Purpose: True justice should not be based on fear, lies and silence. But can justice be found by breaking through the false calm?
