It soon dawned on Loren that Master Lussac's case was far from over......

On the third day of the Apothecary's Guild case, a tutor at the Royal Wizarding Academy was knocked on by a neighbor and hacked to death by a mob of men who poured into the house before he could understand what had happened, and by the time the garrison soldiers arrived, the ground was already covered with broken flesh.

When the soldiers arrived, these "thugs" not only did not flee in all directions, but even gathered to resist the arrest, shouting "Long live the Holy Cross" and "all wizards should go to hell".

After the garrison escorted the group, the priests of the Holy Cross rushed to the black prison first...... No one knew what had happened, but by the time the clergy had left, all the "thugs" were released unharmed.

The Empire replied that there was insufficient evidence to determine who the murderers were, and that in private, gossip and speculation spread like a plague throughout Golovin.

The subjects of the empire are more willing to rejoice in unspeakable scandals than to reveal the truth on the surface.

Compared with the traditional plebeian class, the rich and the petty aristocracy, the powerful and the royal family at the top, the wizarding class, who have no power and power, but have special power and great wealth, and the church's relentless suppression, are naturally the most vulnerable to jealousy and suspicion.

In less than a day, the scandal about the Apothecary's Guild had already spread in the imperial capital, and the more it was said, the more outrageous it became—from the original entire street to the entire civilian area of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire imperial capital!

There are even people who "speculate" that the so-called "sacrifice" has never stopped, and the wizards of the imperial capital have been unscrupulously arresting commoners and even nobles, and holding sacrifices to the "evil gods" they believe in.

The voices of suspicion soon disappeared, and all kinds of terrifying legends and rumors were rampant in the imperial capital!

What? You doubt, would it be too fake to ask me?

Who are they, the lackeys of the evil gods and the servants of the devil!

What can't they do?!

You, you, and you!

How dare you speak for the lackeys of the evil god, do you also plan to die for the evil god?!

What started as a small group of thugs quickly turned into a large-scale riot.

The Holy Cross Church, which has always maintained a wait-and-see attitude, finally stood up completely and completely "revealed the truth" about the "ugly deeds" of the Apothecary Guild back then, so that the "simple and kind" Holy Cross believers in the empire could see the faces of the wizards and see how they were careless of human life.

And no matter how much the clergy of the church preached, the high-ranking members of the Apothecary Guild, who had ascended to heaven in the ruins, would never be able to justify themselves.

And the Royal Wizarding Academy, which originally thought that it could stay out of the matter, was also in danger after the tragic death of that mentor... The apprentices either hid at home or stayed in the academy to avoid leaving, and the garrison sent enough troops to protect the Royal Academy.

The tragic death of Scott Charn completely evolved into a counteroffensive by the Church of the Holy Cross... On this day, the Church, which had tried so hard to stop the motion, became the "embodiment of justice" and preached and instigated the execution of Lusac Kovo.

All this... It's just the beginning, and there are still ten full days left before the Imperial Trial.

No one could have guessed the final verdict of His Majesty Eckhart II... What exactly will it be.

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

"Your Excellency Loren Turin, I'm really sorry to have to come to you at such a time. ”

Sitting behind the desk, Gray Sal, the academy tutor who "came to visit", was apologetic, but his tone was very insistent: "But now you must know very well about the situation outside, if it weren't for the last resort, I would never do this!"

"This time I secretly met with you privately... In fact, there is no other reason, there is only one purpose......"

"You want to know what my chances of winning are, and you want to know if I'm sure I'll get Master Lussack off the hook. ”

Loren, who was leaning back in the chair, had an expressionless face and said slowly: "And... You didn't come alone, did you?"

"That's right. ”

The middle-aged wizard with no smile on his face bowed slightly: "The entire Royal Wizarding Academy is in jeopardy, we are willing to continue to stand behind you, and even testify for Master Lussac This can be ......"

"But... You must now give us an answer! How sure are you?"

The black-haired wizard fell silent, looking at the wall behind the middle-aged wizard with some tired eyes.

Although I guessed that this would happen, but... It's only been five days, and I didn't expect the Royal Wizarding Academy to be unable to support it.

They... I'm already planning to seek reconciliation with the Church of the Holy Cross!

Of course, the relationship between the Royal Wizarding Academy and the royal family is inseparable, and even if this matter becomes like a matter in the end, it is impossible for the Holy Cross Church to completely ban them.

But if all goes as expected...... The power and status accumulated by the wizards of the imperial capital over the past hundred years will be gone.

It is precisely because of this that they did not surrender directly, but chose to come and discuss with themselves...... What's more, even if the church can't do anything with the academy, it can do something to wizards like them.

The tragic death of the Apothecary's Guild and the Mentor... It has become a wake-up call in everyone's hearts.

At this point, the church's intentions have become more apparent... They want to use the Imperial Trial to defeat the wizarding class of the entire imperial capital at once!

If it weren't for Victor waking himself up in the end, Loren might not have figured out who was the real culprit behind the scenes, and he was complacent with the human and physical evidence in his hands, thinking that he had the chance to win.

The people of the Church of the Holy Cross have already begun to draw salaries!

Victor Tius, Church of the Holy Cross... When all the people in the entire imperial capital decided that Lu Ssac was a heinous and heinous demon.

Even if you move out of the ironclad evidence... It doesn't help!

Seeing the black-haired wizard's expression, Gray Sal's face was also ugly: "Your Excellency Loren, it's really... Don't you have a chance?"

Loren raised an eyebrow and came back to his senses, "Can I ask a question first?"

"What's the problem?"

"Although it may be strange to say this, but ......" Barely squeezing out a smile on his face, Loren said in a deep voice: "Your academy has just had a tutor die tragically, and the garrison has blocked the academy, you... How did you come up with the idea to reconcile?"

"It must have been suggested by some mentor, or someone in a position of authority in the Academy. ”

Gray Sal frowned slightly: "Your Excellency Loren Turin, this matter is ...... for all of us"

"Wizard advisor to the Emperor, Master Albert Tarot... Right?" interrupted Loren with a burning gaze.

Gray Sal frowned and remained silent.

After a few moments, he bowed his head slightly and let out a long sigh.

"So, you didn't come here to question me, not to know if I was sure. Loren looked up: "It's Master Albert who asked you to 'inform' me......"

"Royal Wizarding Academy, ready to reconcile with the Holy Cross Church!"

"To exonerate Master Lussac... At first, it was something you asked me to do. Loren, who was expressionless, seemed to be saying to himself: "Until now, on the contrary, you are ready to give up, and you have sold me and Master Lussac backhandedly." ”

"You... Well done——!"

The black-haired wizard who gritted his teeth roared in a low voice, word by word.

"I'm so sorry!" Gray Sal bowed his head.

The black-haired wizard's eyes were silent, as if he was thinking about something.

The middle-aged wizard with his head bowed his eyebrows and looked down humbly, humbly saying nothing.

The Royal Wizarding Academy must not quit... At the moment, there are not many people who are willing to stand on the side of Master Lussac, and if it comes time for the imperial judgment to fight alone, it will really be defeated!

Since the person who wants to reconcile is Master Albert Tarot, he must figure out what forced him to make concessions, even as the Imperial Minister... To the point of groveling to the Church of the Holy Cross!

"Please... Convey to Master Albert Tarot, and say that I am willing to accept this result. ”

"But, he had to tell me why!"
