Chapter 1013: 609. Unreliable Judges_3
But it's no matter, she's got the study material, she can learn and ponder over it herself, it won't be a problem.
At present, as the champion of staying up late, Dorothy didn't feel much like sleeping. After tucking the fox cub in, she didn't disturb the sleeping ones. Instead, she took the task book and study materials to the corridor outside.
At this moment, the courtyard was bathed in bright moonlight, its silvery glow spread across the earth, rendering everything serene.
A gentle night breeze swept over the courtyard walls, brushing past the giant sakura tree, letting a few pink blossoms fall from its tops.
What is the speed at which cherry blossoms fall?
The homebody witch suddenly recalled this and shook her head.
Such fine scenery is perfect for studying.
Right then, she flickered into a form with three heads and six arms, then sat down on the corridor to begin reading.
Her main consciousness studied the task book, while her left and right secondary consciousnesses opened the study materials, beginning to study greedily.
....
After a long time, having almost finished the task book and gained a rough understanding of the next task, the homebody witch took a deep breath and looked up at the bright moon again.
"I wonder how Miss Oiran is doing. I hope she can seek justice and avenge herself well, rather than triggering the Judgment Order's trial and judgment."
Dorothy prayed as such.
Her impression of Miss Oiran was quite positive, after all, she had given her the Red Shadow as a gift.
Moreover, from their brief encounter before, the homebody witch had indeed understood the heart of the Fiendish Courtesan and felt she wasn't a bad person, rather a pitiful one, hence she thought of helping her.
However, she herself was here on vacation this time, and had promised Good Sister before not to stir up any trouble, so it was not proper to intervene personally.
Fortunately, she knew the Judgment Court had plans to act on Japan, so she handed her own Judgment Order to her, making her a temporary proxy.
The judges have the authority to temporarily authorize someone as their proxy, this function is set up for special situations where there's a shortage of personnel and no time to spare.
It's a good idea in theory, but in practice it's complicated. It's rare for judges to actually find someone to act as proxy, not because they're unwilling to delegate, but because suitable candidates are indeed hard to find.
Because all judges' Judgment Orders are connected to the Divine Artifact Conscience Devil's Mirror, the use and activation of the Judgment Order undergoes detection by the devil's mirror, which is linked to the Three Kings' Might.
If the activation doesn't pass detection, it will trigger the Judgment Order's trial process, leading to judgment by the omnipresent Three Kings' Might in the Witch World.
The judgment might be thunder from heaven, fire from the earth, or curses; one might even be chased thousands of miles by someone for simply casting a glance at them.
Though the judgment process is merely a passive manifestation of miniscule strength from the Three Kings, even powerful Peak Witches find it difficult to resist, and if judged, one would not die but be left severely handicapped.
There have been cases where foreign agents tried to seize the judges' Judgment Orders, yet they ultimately led themselves to ruin.
Furthermore, since proxies are temporary workers, everyone knows temporary workers don't have human rights, thus the detection is extraordinarily strict and frequent.
It reaches the extent that even the slightest thought harmful to the Judgment Court or of abusing power would be judged according to the seriousness of the context with corresponding punishment.
Therefore, who would be willing to take on such a thankless position?
Now Dorothy can only hope Miss Oiran doesn't get any odd ideas. If she only focuses on seeking justice and airing grievances, that's fine, her Judgment Order could help her; but if her thoughts take a downturn, then it's out of her hands.
Alas, at that time in the Arena, with so many eyes watching, she couldn't give Miss Oiran too detailed an explanation. But now Miss Oiran should have contacted the Judgment Court, right? Her colleagues there ought to explain it to her.
Well, in short, hopefully she's alright, Dimon.
