There was a brief silence. The black haired wizard who spent a whole minute waking up bit his teeth and spoke hard:
"So... You're going to avenge the innocent people who died that year, aren't you?"
"Revenge?"
Victor's expression was very sad and his eyes were chilling: "can revenge bring them back to life and make everything that happened no longer exist... Of course not!"
"However, I can make the sinners pay their due price; no matter who, no matter his status and power... They escaped by using their privileges and wealth, and all I have to do is correct this mistake."
"This is not revenge, this is a fair judgment!"
"Lusack kovo is only the first, and definitely not the last... I know it's against my usual principles." he shook his head and said in a deep voice, "but as long as you can't produce strong enough evidence to convince me and the whole Royal cabinet... I'll let him pay for his actions."
"Within the scope of imperial law, let the late justice be revealed - this is the only thing I can do and the only thing I can do."
Loren breathed a long sigh of relief and his eyes were incomparably complex.
To be fair, Loren understands Victor's behavior very well... He would definitely do better and more cruel than him; If the little girl is an elf Leia or a little wizard, master lusack is lute infinite
A fair trial?
Loren will make the bastard cry and beg himself to kill him, then make a deal with Asriel at all costs, draw out the bastard's soul and spend the rest of his life thinking about how to torture, torture and ravage
The vicious and tyrannical thought flashed through the dark haired wizard's mind, making him a little trance.
"There are fifteen days left."
The cold voice came, and Lauren, sober from meditation, stared at Victor Hughes, who was expressionless, and his slightly distorted face:
"Because of the seriousness of the incident, this trial is beyond my control - a pre imperial trial is required by the Holy Cross Church and the chann family."
"At that time, 300 noble councillors and the whole Royal assembly will control his fate; his majesty Eckhart II will personally make a ruling and give an answer to the people of the whole empire!"
Victor said coldly and quietly, "do you understand, viscount Loren Turin; it is not me you want to convince; it is the nobles and church members who have found luzac kovo guilty!"
"What you want to convince is those bastards who are in a hurry to get rid of the relationship with that thing in those years!"
"It's the innocent soul who died that day!"
The silent Loren sat in his chair, motionless.
He can really feel that the man in front of him is doing his best to curb his anger, use reason to control his thinking and not do things that violate his principles.
As a wizard, Loren admired this very much.
The dead silence returned to the room. Victor Hughes, with red eyes, suddenly closed his hands and tried his best to calm himself down, breathing quickly and calming his mood.
"No matter what you are going to do... I have made a commitment to his highness Brandon not to interfere too much in this matter... But I also want to remind you that the evidence in your hand is far from enough to help Luzak kovo get rid of his crime."
"At least a big step forward." the black haired wizard shrugged. "Next... I just need to find another witness who is willing to stand up and support master Lusaka's innocence."
"For example?"
"Seram kovo, the son of master lusack... Er, the tutor and apprentice representative of the Royal wizard academy, and the member of the pharmacist guild... If all goes well, I may be able to persuade master Albert Tarot, the former royal wizard consultant, to testify!"
"If... If everything goes well..."
If Victor's words were meaningful, he looked at the dark haired Wizard: "are you so confident that you can do all this?"
"It's not whether we can, but we must!"
Lauren's eyes were calm, pushed away his chair, got up slowly, and put his hands behind his back: "if there was anything wrong before, please allow me to apologize to you, Lord Victor Hughes."
"Apologize?"
"Yes, I apologize for comparing my heart to my heart and treating you as a shameless person who only has interests and intrigues in my eyes - to be fair, your actions and personal cultivation are just like saints. Even some devout believers of the church who are still alive can't be compared with you in terms of private morality!"
"But I'm very sorry, because I have promised seram kovo that I will save his father anyway - you really should go and see the child, because he looks like... There are many similarities with the little girl you just described."
"Maybe it's selfish to say so, but the fact is... I don't know those poor people who died miserably, and I didn't see those tragic scenes with my own eyes; all I saw was a family that was about to fall apart and collapse because my father was in prison; and the wizard college behind this case!"
"So... I will fight for them..."
"In order not to let master lusack who is wronged, not to let a family fall into collapse, and hundreds of wizards who are worried, even implicated and accused... Fall into the terrible scene you described..."
"I will defeat you... By all means and at all costs!"
Victor's expression grew colder.
"That's your right, I won't interfere..." his voice was a little hoarse: "but just as you fought for an apprentice's father at any cost, I will recover their justice for the wronged dead at any cost."
The dim yellow candle flickered slightly, reflecting their shadows on the mottled wall.
The room fell into silence again.
"Lord Victor Seuss, farewell."
The black haired wizard nodded, straightened his back and turned away.
Victor closed his eyes.
"Your Excellency Loren Turin, I admire you very much."
The black haired wizard was stunned, and his right hand holding the door hung in the air.
"Only three or two words have taken so many important information from me, and you can still look calm... No wonder his highness Brandon trusts you so much. It's really unexpected."
He knocked on the table and returned to his original Indifference: "let me teach you one thing... The next time you want to use this awe inspiring excuse to cover up your selfishness, you'd better not use so many sensational rhetoric."
“……”
"You can go out. Remember to close the door."
……………………………………
Lauren didn't say a word from leaving the room to getting out of the black prison.
Victor Hughes is worthy of being the former chief justice of the court. It is he who clearly holds the evidence and has the absolute advantage and right to speak, but he almost gave it to him!
Of course, this trip has been fruitful... At least I have found out that the deaths of master lusack and siscott are related to the motion put forward by the pharmacist guild in that year; And according to victor, I'm afraid the old-fashioned aristocrats were also involved in this matter.
Next, I want to find out two things - first, what role did the pharmacist guild and the Royal wizard college play in those years;
The second is how much the Chans, or siscott Chans, are involved in this matter.
Even Ruth infinite sent people to intervene and assassinate himself in private. I'm afraid that crown prince Connor also played a very disgraceful image in that incident and was also eager to cover up the truth with master lusack's life.
"Viscount Loren."
Behind him came the voice of the jailer. Interrupted by the meditation, the black haired wizard frowned slightly: "what's the matter?"
"Nothing, just the order Lord Victor gave us..." the jailer with a scar on his face, a look that others owed him money:
"He asked us to tell you 'this' before you left and said you would go."
Lauren was a little stunned, and a bad feeling came naturally.
"The headquarters of the pharmacist guild... Was blown up by a mob this morning."
"Victims..."
"No life!"
