Chapter III: Defense Lawyers

"You say, who knows?"

A female voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by a faint smell of cigars. But Lynn didn't know it at this time—the phone booth could move very quickly, and it only took less than a few seconds to get from the top to the hall of the Ministry of Magic below.

So he didn't hear the answer, he didn't smell the faint familiar smell of smoke, and he didn't see that Aunt Intergula, whom he had feared for more than ten years, was standing in front of the phone booth, silently smoking a cigar.

"Ale, this is a step short, or should it be just right."

As usual, policewoman Silas stands behind Intercula. She is now the strongest combat force of the Royal Religious Knights, and of course she must protect the supreme leader of the Royal Religious Knights at all times.

That is, Lynn's aunt, the current head of the Helsing family, and the woman who once stood in opposition to the Clock Tower from the perspective of the British royal family. Intgula Van Bronk Weings Helsing was a legend from the point of view of his time. And now, she was still troubled by her nephew's prospect of being brought to trial, standing in the streets of London and smoking a cigar a little irritably.

"It's okay to be just right, it's okay to be a step late and not meet directly, anyway, this kid has caused himself a lot of trouble this time."

"But the matter should be easy to solve, after all, it is the person who saved a city anyway, and in the end, it also hides information related to the magic world."

The policewoman said.

If it weren't for the final unfolding of the [Garden of Love], the entire city would be torn apart by the monsters, or even burned to the ground in the fire.

"That's the problem, his method of hiding is too shocking."

Intergula took a hard puff on his cigar.

"For magicians, it doesn't matter how many ordinary people die, but exposing magicians should never do it, it seems that Lynn is right to protect a city, but because of this, the whole of Japan has been affected, not to solve the trouble, but to spread the trouble evenly across the entire island, one carelessly, maybe the things that have been hidden by the Magic Association and the Templar Church for so many years will be exposed at one time."

This is the most important reason why Lynn was called to trial. Especially since he is the Origin Awakener of Variables, he is equivalent to a mobile troublemaker, fortunately no major problems have been found this time, otherwise what awaits Lynn will not be a public trial but a public execution.

"All in all, our Knights of the Kingdom Church have no room to meddle in this matter, even if we use the power of the family's side, we will be crushed by those angry families united. To put it bluntly, it's still a matter of lack of strength, and on our side, the only ones who can be called the highest combat power are Silas and Lynn. ”

Fifteen years ago, after the famous bloody battle of London, the power around the British royal family declined. "A certain monster" that used to be a trump card is now "missing", and the policewomen who stayed behind are completely unable to cope with the situation. If it weren't for the fact that the clock tower was also suppressed, it would have been swallowed directly by the belt bone.

"Doesn't that mean that little Lynn is dangerous? And we can't help yet?! ”

"yes, but don't worry."

Ingecula closed her eyes and waited for the ashes of the burning cigar on her fingers to fall to the ground before speaking slowly.

"Regardless of my relationship with Lynn, the two of us are dependent on each other after all, and I had expected this long before he returned to London. Since it was a formal magician's tribunal, how could there be no lawyer? ”

"You got a lawyer over?"

The policewoman said with a strange expression: "...... I didn't say it, but is there really a lawyer here in the Magic Association to help him? Little Lynn's popularity...... It doesn't seem to be very good. You probably just got someone to come over and be Lynn's defense lawyer. ”

The policewoman showed such a suspicious gaze not without explanation, although Intergula is a woman like a lion, but in private, there is still a bit of a funny little daughter mentality.

"Overall, 'that person' and Lynn have a deep relationship. As for the defense lawyers...... Ahem, I guess a detective should be the same job as a defense lawyer. ”

From the policewoman's point of view, you can see that Intgula's shoulders stiffened for a moment, and then the latter turned his head and coughed lightly in an unnatural manner, revealing a full sense of suspicion.

"How can a detective work with a lawyer! Both are different in nature! ”

"Huh? I think a lawyer should be like a detective, go around collecting incriminating evidence, and then use words and logic to refute people like the prosecutor on the other side in the courtroom. ”

"If you casually take out the incriminating evidence, you will have your lawyer's license revoked! Ah, the elevator arrived. ”

While the two women were arguing about the phone booth, the somewhat dilapidated phone booth next to it happened to "ding", which meant that the new elevator was ready to be taken.

The two glanced at each other and stepped onto the elevator in unison.

While the two of them were waiting for the elevator and arguing on the ground, Lynn had been taken deeper underground by Ryori Kano. It is said that before Lynn was born, the famous black magician attacked this place, and although the former quickly evacuated, the nobles who felt insulted and angry strengthened the defense of this place, and just by walking from the elevator to the hall, Lynn felt the surrounding walls squirming. That's the evidence of otherworldliness, and it's used like a magic workshop by the people of the Law and Political Science Division, and the strength of foreign magicians here will be extremely low.

Moving the fingers of his left hand slightly, he found that he had only triggered the magic power of Dayuan, and there was a low roar from the surrounding walls.

"Please don't do that."

The gentle beauty next to her noticed Lynn's actions and spoke to stop her.

"Here, let's apply knowledge from another world."

Ignoring Ryoshi's warning eyes, Lynn continued to pull the Great Source Magic as he walked towards the Inquisition. With the magic power imprisoned in chains on his body and the magic circuit also blocked, he could only do this, but it was precisely the application of Lynn's familiar knowledge here that he could make such a small action.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"DPM, three, no, at least five copies of the knowledge obtained from B-level and above otherworldly things, have been applied here, but I don't remember how the Law and Political Science Department got the intellectual property rights, and how to get the forbidden knowledge here when I don't study magic."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

The second time she replied, this time the beauty used a tougher tone, and seeing this, Lynn didn't say much, pouted, and continued to follow towards the courtroom.

The Inquisition of the Ministry of Magic was more of a dungeon than a formal courtroom.

The walls are made of black stone, revealing an air of indifference, and the dim light of the ever-bright torch still shines to this day. The benches on the left and right sides were empty, that was the place to accompany the defender, and on the invisible high position, row after row of seats were hidden in the shadows, and the entire courtroom was unusually silent, only the sound of Lynn and Ryori Kano walking in would echo here.

Then, an indifferent voice whispered in the courtroom.

"You're late, Lynn Helsin Yogdomirenia, you should have been here thirty minutes before."

The deep voice was specially arranged, and when it reached Lynn's ears, it was like a whisper of darkness.

"Actually, I think I should have arrived early, and the time when the Aurors found and handed me over here was twenty minutes before the normal procedure." Lynn raised an eyebrow: "And you guys also went through the special procedure to get me caught earlier." Unless you're stuck in the old antique of refining phosphorus from urine and lighting it, and counting the time by the length of the candle flame, you'll think I'm late. ”

There was a whisper on the stage, and the magicians who had hidden themselves in their hoods banged angrily on the armrests.

"Silence, silence! Anyway, you sit down first. ”

The indifferent voice also seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but since he was here, he still had to follow the procedure This is the biggest difference between the Law and Politics Department and other departments, if Lynn mocked these people in other places, he would be ready to face all kinds of magic tricks in the next second.

Lynn had just sat down in a chair in the middle of the courtroom, and the chains that had wrapped around the chair were wrapped around him like moving snakes, making him completely immobile.

"As for it, such a fanfare......"

Pouting, Lynn looked up. Because of the peculiar arrangement of the building, from the bottom up, only one floor of seats could be seen filled with people in robes and cloaks, and those retro costumes just interrupted Lynn's vision, allowing him to see people's noses at best—it looked like the judge was hooked nose—and all that was left was darkness. This also puts an end to possible retaliation after going out, and the average magician wouldn't be too stupid to go against the Law and Political Science Department.

"Good." Judge Hooknose said, "Now that the defendant has arrived, let's get started." Are you all ready? He asked the magicians in the room.

The magicians nodded their heads.

"On May 7, 2015, Lynn Helsing Yogdomirenia will be tried for using aether bombs to threaten the Magic Society, and extort a property in Diagon Alley of the Barsermero family, a huge sum of more than 100,000 pounds, as well as 300 copies of the lost magic book that have not yet been copied, and a greatsword of the Noble Phantasm; long-term misappropriation of the two spiritual veins of the Curse Family and the Plant Family, and caused the loss of some of the property and materials of the Chronometer Tower; During his trip to the Far East, he also attacked the non-Shiyuan forces in Japan, which seriously damaged the cooperative relationship between our two sides, and caused a great riot during the period when Fuyuki City assisted in the recovery of the employment card, which shocked all the spiritual veins of Japan and caused dissatisfaction among all the forces in Japan; There is a great possibility of exposing the magic world related; A few days ago, in Hanoji Town, Changyue City, where he stayed before, there were signs of Dead Apostles, and it was also suspected that Helsin's work was done, which may have caused the Templar Church to interfere with the Magic Association. ”

"Judge: Jan Langpuskin; Jurors: Hermione Jane Weasley, Director of Magical Law Enforcement; Kingsley Shackle, Minister of Magic; Trial Recorder: Berhigus Dalenha! ”

After listing the charges one by one, Judge Hooknose cleared his throat and named the important jurors.

"Half true, half patchwork...... Tsk, that sword was also traded, and the reason for the blackmail is not that Barsermelo guy is yin, otherwise the matter of the aether bomb can be hidden for a long time......"

Lynn frowned dissatisfiedly, and in a place where others could not see, the fingers of her left hand continued to tremble, and the invisible magic quietly turned into a snake of words, sneaking into a place where the jury could not see.

Whether it is those above who are determined to judge Lynn, or Lynn who secretly makes small moves below, they all think that when the trial is about to begin, an accident happened.

"Defense lawyer, Monarch Almeloy II - of course, if I could, at least I would like to use the name Weber Velvet when I was a lawyer."

A calm voice rang out.
