"I'm sorry, Mr. priest, please, please, save my father! Please, let me be a servant of the Holy Cross, let me serve you, let me do anything! I beg you, just save my father, let me do anything!"

In the cramped and deserted bedroom, the young wizard apprentice shouted hysterically, tearing his clothes and hair, his emaciated and withered face no longer had its original handsomeness, and only the last vestiges of reason and faith remained in his bloodshot eyes:

"They're going to kill him, no, not only, House Charn... And those who hate my father will make him worse than dead!I've heard of the Black Prison that place where people who go in never get out, right?!"

"Calm down, Sir Seran Corvo, your father is alive and well, and no one will kill him. Weber, the little priest on the side, was sweating profusely and could only comfort him as much as he could.

"Are they going to find someone to atone for their crimes, let me go, let me go?!"

"No one needs to be guilty, the trial has not officially begun, His Excellency Loren Turin will find enough evidence to exonerate your father......"

"It's too late, it's too late! Loren, they can't be the opponent of those nobles!"

"Then you're going to give up on yourself like this?!"

The little priest who had tried his best to comfort him couldn't bear to shout out, but he still couldn't bear it: "...... Therland"

"Needless to say, I understand, I understand......"

Thran Corvo muttered in a low voice, curled up on the cold floor like a wounded animal, his throat rolling, his eyes dead to ashes, and he hugged his head in pain:

"I'm sorry... Priest Weber, I'm sorry for your trouble. ”

The outstretched hand hung in the air, but finally slowly retracted, and the little priest who sighed shook his head in the same silence, and turned to leave the bedroom.

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

"Sorry, Loren, for keeping you waiting. ”

The little priest sat on the chair tiredly, looking at the black-haired wizard with a very helpless and sad gaze, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was very weak: "You are here for the affairs of Thran Corvo?"

"Just on my way to the Royal Wizarding Academy, passing by. Loren nodded: "How is he?"

As the words fell, the little priest's expression became even more painful.

"I'm tempted to say I've done my best, but... The incident of Master Lussac left him with too deep a wound, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recover in a day or two. ”

"So... At least come to your senses and be able to communicate normally?"

"I'm sorry. Webb shook his head heavily: "Unfortunately, no. ”

"That's right. ”

Loren has some regrets... He had planned to take advantage of the visit to find a way to dig something out of Thran's mouth - not much hope, but now even a little bit of information was crucial.

But considering Thurlan's current state of mind... For wizards, maintaining their sanity and consciousness is far more important than ordinary people, because they have been in contact with the void for many years, even if they have the protection of the "spiritual hall", once they are lost, the void will invade their consciousness.

A slight descent into madness, a serious one is immeasurable... The more powerful they are, the more so they are for older wizards.

While this is almost impossible to encounter during the wizarding apprenticeship stage, Thran specializes in alchemy, which is not closely related to the Void, but the risks remain.

"I already know the general situation. The little priest suddenly spoke: "Although I am not familiar with Master Lussack, in the name of the Holy Cross, I believe that with his character, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing!"

"There must be something else to be told, or some unknown truth, and for the glory of the Holy Cross, and for the sake of Thran Corvo's speedy recovery, I will do everything in my power to assist you, Loren!"

"Thank you so much, Webb. The black-haired wizard nodded yes, although he didn't think that the little priest could help him much, but it was good for people to have this heart.

After all, there are very few people who can help themselves.

"Although it is very unfair to the Corvo family, this incident may be a good opportunity - I had this premonition when I heard that you are willing to help Master Lussac, it must be the merciful Holy Cross, with the help of your power to bring this gospel down for us!"

The little priest was excited, but whispered a little meaningfully, and then carefully lifted his clothes and placed a roll of parchment on the table.

"It's ......"

Loren, who raised his eyebrows, took it casually, and the pupils of the first eye that opened instantly shrank.

This is Lussac's prescription for the dead Scott Charn!

When a master apothecary like Lussac was his personal physician, he would have made a list of all the potions he had prepared - in other words, it would be a good idea to have a list of the potions that the master had prepared for Siscott or not.

Such an important thing should have been destroyed a long time ago, why did it fall into the hands of the little priest?!

"Actually, before you came, I went to the Charn family for Therland, and begged them not to implicate Master Lussac's family. ”

Seeing the slightly surprised expression of the black-haired wizard, Webb lowered his voice and said cautiously: "I thought I would be kicked out by them, but that Earl Charn actually received me in the living room openly. ”

"At that time, this list was sandwiched between the books he had brought with me, and I secretly took them out while he was leaving... I don't know why, but at the time I thought it might be very important evidence that Master Lussac was innocent!"

"Thankfully, the Earl Charn didn't seem to notice that the list was missing. The little priest, who was still scared at this point, swallowed his saliva and folded his hands: "The Holy Cross forgives me for my sins, and when this matter is over, I will definitely come to the door to apologize." ”

The surprised black-haired wizard was stunned for only a minute, and then he was somewhat surprised.

It wasn't the little priest's luck at all, but the Earl Charn deliberately let him "take" it...... Even if they didn't know their relationship with Weber, since the little priest was for Master Lussac, it was only natural that he should be regarded as their ally.

As for why the other party went to great lengths and went around in a big circle to hand over this list to himself... Maybe it's really because of the strife within the family, as Brandon said?

In any case, this list is an extremely crucial piece of evidence - whatever the purpose of the Earl of Charne, he has already succeeded for most of his own time, and it is worth exchanging this list for anything!

"Thank you so much, Weber—this will be conclusive evidence! Even if Master Lussac cannot be acquitted, it will be 'manslaughter' at the very least, not intentionally. ”

"But that's not enough, is it?" The little priest was surprisingly calm at this moment, and looked at the black-haired wizard with burning eyes: "Your goal is to acquit Master Lussac, and a list alone is not enough to do that." ”

"Yes, it should be said that it is not enough. ”

Loren's expression was very sincere at the moment, he cleared his throat and nodded and replied, "At least... I also need a witness who can testify that it was not Master Lussac, but Master Siscott who forcibly drank the potion. ”

"Only in this way, coupled with the original non-toxic potion and Master Luscott's words, Master Siscott's already suffering from three factors, can Master Luskot be acquitted, and Master Siscott's death will become an accident!"

This answer is the answer that Loren came up with after carefully thinking about it after meeting with Lussac - his ultimate goal is to rescue Master Lussac, and at the same time, he must not give anyone an excuse to attack the wizards, and he must not anger the Charn family too much because of this incident.

After several trade-offs, a "overwork, natural death" may be the most appropriate ending... Of course, this will also make his claim about the "real murderer" of the Charn family come to naught, but he didn't promise anything, so it doesn't matter.

"Since it is a witness, then the other party must be noble enough to convince others......" The little priest muttered in a low voice, obviously understanding Loren's concerns.

If it is just an ordinary witness, it is enough to find a way to bribe the servants of the Charn family, but not only will it anger the Charn, but the other party can also use similar means to make the witness untrustworthy.

But why would the kind of person who is truly noble, but not afraid of the threat of the Charn family, come forward for an alchemist?

"Wait, I know there's someone... Maybe. ”

The little priest who was meditating suddenly raised his head, but his expression was very strange:

"But... Maybe it's going to be hard to wrap around. ”
