After a short silence, the black-haired wizard, who took a full minute to come to his senses, gritted his teeth and said with difficulty:

"So... You're going to avenge the innocent people who died tragically, aren't you?"

"Revenge?"

Victor's expression was very bleak, and his gaze was chilling: "Can revenge bring them back from the dead, so that everything that happened will cease to exist... Of course not!"

"But I can make the sinner of the day pay the price he deserves, whoever it is, no matter his position or power... They used their privilege and wealth to get away with it, and all I have to do is correct that mistake. ”

"This is not revenge, this is a just verdict!"

"Lussac Kovo is only the first, and definitely not the last... I knew it was against my principles. He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "But as long as you can't come up with strong enough evidence to convince me and the entire Imperial Cabinet... I'm going to make him pay for what he's done. ”

"To allow belated justice to be brought to justice, within the limits of the laws of the Empire - this is what I can do, and the only thing I can do. ”

Loren breathed a long sigh of relief, his gaze extremely complicated.

In all fairness, Loren understands Victor's approach very well... If the little girl were a female elf Lea or a little wizard, and Master Lussac would be Ruth Infinit......

A fair trial?

Loren would make that bastard cry and cry out for him to kill him, and then make a deal with Asriel at all costs to drain the bastard's soul, and spend the rest of his life thinking about how to torture, torture, and ravage......

Vicious and tyrannical thoughts flashed through the black-haired wizard's mind, leaving him in a trance.

"Fifteen days to go. ”

A cold voice came, and Loren, awake from his contemplation, stared at the expressionless Victor Theseus, and his slightly distorted face:

"Because of the gravity of the matter, this trial is beyond my control - a royal trial is being demanded from the Holy Cross Church and the Charn family. ”

"At that time, the three hundred noble councillors and the entire Imperial Council will influence his fate, and His Majesty Eckhart II will personally make a decision and give an answer to the people of the whole empire!"

Victor said in a cold voice, "See, Viscount Loren Turin, the people you want to convince are not me, but the nobles and members of the Church who have already found Lussac Kovo guilty!"

"You're going to convince those bastards who are looking for bastards who are in a hurry to get rid of everything that had to do with that incident!"

"It's the innocent soul who experienced that day, and died tragically!"

The silent Loren sat in his chair, unmoving.

He could really feel that the man in front of him was trying his best to suppress his anger, using reason to control his thinking and not to do things that violated his principles.

As a wizard, Loren admires this.

The room was dead silent, and Victor Hughes, whose eyes were red, clasped his hands together suddenly, trying his best to calm himself down, breathing heavily.

"Whatever you're going to do... I've already made a promise to His Highness Brandon that I won't interfere too much in this matter... But I would also like to remind you that the evidence in your hands is not enough to help Lussac Kovo get away with it. ”

"At least a big step forward. The black-haired wizard shrugged: "Next... All I need to do is find more witnesses who are willing to stand up for Master Lussac's innocence. ”

"For example?"

"Seran Kovo, son of Master Lussac... Uh, the mentor and apprentice representative of the Royal Wizarding Academy, a member of the Apothecary's Guild... If all goes well, maybe I'll be able to convince Master Albert Tarot, the advisor to the former wizards, to testify!"

"What if... If all goes well......"

Victor's words were meaningful, and he looked at the black-haired wizard meaningfully: "You are so confident that you can do all this?"

"It's not whether you can't, it's that you have to!"

Loren's eyes were calm, he pushed away his chair and slowly got up, putting his hands behind his back: "If there is anything I can't do before, please allow me to apologize to you, Lord Victor Hughes." ”

"Apologize?"

"That's right, I apologize for treating you as a shameless person like me who sees only profit and intrigue in his eyes - in all fairness, your actions and personal cultivation are comparable to those of saints, and even some living devout members of the church cannot compare with you in terms of personal morality!"

"But it's a pity, because I've promised Thran Corvo that I'll save his father anyway - you really should go and see this child, because he's like now... There are a lot of similarities with the little girl you just described. ”

"Maybe it's selfish to say that, but the truth is... I don't know the poor people who died tragically, nor did I see the horrific sights with my own eyes, but only a family that was about to be shattered and disintegrated because of my father's imprisonment, and the wizarding academy where everyone was in danger behind this case!"

"So... I'll fight for them......"

"In order not to let the wronged Master Lussac, not let a family fall into disintegration, let hundreds of wizards who are uneasy, and even implicated and blamed for it... Caught up in the kind of horrible sight you described......"

"I'll beat you... Defeat you at any cost!"

Victor's expression grew colder.

"That's your right, I won't interfere with ......," his voice was a little hoarse, "but just as you fought for the father of an apprentice at all costs, I will also do whatever it takes to find justice for the unjust dead of the past." ”

The dim candlelight flickered slightly, reflecting the shadows of the two on the mottled wall.

The room fell silent again.

"Master Victor Hus, farewell. ”

The black-haired wizard bowed, straightened his back, and turned away.

Victor closed his eyes.

"Your Excellency Loren Turin, I admire you as a person. ”

The black-haired wizard froze, his right hand holding the door dangling in the air.

"In just three or two sentences, so much important information has been taken away from me, and I can still keep my face unchanged and calm my posture... No wonder His Highness Brandon trusts you so much, it's really unexpected. ”

He banged on the table, his expression returning to his original indifference: "Let me teach you something... The next time you want to use such a righteous and awe-inspiring excuse to cover up your selfishness, it's best not to use so much sensational rhetoric. ”

“......”

"You can go out, remember to close the door. ”

..........................................

From the time he left the room until he walked out of the black cell, Loren didn't say a word.

Victor Hughes is worthy of being the former justice, and it is clear that the person who holds the absolute advantage and the right to speak with the evidence is himself, but he was almost put on a table by him!

Of course, the trip was quite fruitful... At the very least, he had figured out that the deaths of Master Lusac and Siscott were related to the motion put forward by the Apothecary's Guild back then, and according to Victor, I am afraid that the old-fashioned nobles were also involved in this matter.

There are two things I need to figure out next - first, what role did the Apothecary Guild and the Royal Wizarding College play back then;

Secondly, there is how much the Charn family, or Siscott Charn, has to do with this matter.

Even Ruth Infinit sent someone to intervene in his assassination in private, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Connad also played a very dishonorable image in that incident, and was equally anxious to cover up the truth with the life of Master Lussac.

"Viscount Loren. ”

The jailer's voice came from behind him, and the black-haired wizard who was interrupted from his contemplation frowned slightly: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just an order from Master Victor......" The jailer with a scar on his face had an expression that someone owed him money:

"He asked us to tell you 'this' before you left, saying you would definitely go. ”

Loren was slightly stunned, and a bad premonition arose.

"The headquarters of the Apothecary's Guild...... It was blown up by a mob early this morning. ”

"Victims ......"

"There is no life left!"
