Chapter 61: The Scoundrel of Civilization
Taylor Clark, the man who joined the side branch of the Clark family, can be said to have almost nothing to do with his family except that his daughter is engaged to Lucien. You can even ignore this person's surname, and you don't need to know where he came from, just remember his nickname.
He was called "Tyler the Terrible" by Jialan's students.
Because whether it is a nobleman or a knight cadet, once he commits a crime and falls into his hands, it will never end well.
There was once a son of an earl who did not believe in evil, and violated the rule that "no Warcraft research institute is allowed to domesticate Warcraft" and secretly raised a wind dog as a pet. Later, the terrified Taylor found out that he not only executed the dog on the spot, but also stewed it into soup and forced him to drink it...... And all this, still an appetizer before punishment.
Even his daughter, Emma, the famous witch of Jialan, had to behave during her time at the academy, and never dared to take her demon pets out of the Warcraft Research Institute, for fear that they would turn into food and enter her stomach in the next second.
The leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission seems to have his own buff of "everything is strict", and will deal with any simple problems strictly.
So, there's a good reason why Barry's face is pale and he's shaking slightly......
"In accordance with Article 4, Subsection 12, of the Academy's Safety Regulations, physical contact with others in any place other than the school grounds and the mage gladiatorial arena will be severely punished."
Taylor glanced at Dridge, who was in a coma, and added, "I have the right to further hold you accountable for the aggravated circumstances." Barry Perez, I'll give you a minute to think, and then it's up to you to confess or quibble. β
Barry's face was gloomy, and he was about to say something, but when he saw Mu Yan raising the image crystal in his hand, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"I don't have much to say, Mr. Taylor, I admit my mistakes and am willing to bear all the consequences."
He also knows that at this time, it is futile to say that he has personal grudges, what he says that he is blind and in the wrong place, and what he says that someone has set up a trap for him to drill, not to mention how Taylor collects evidence, just whether he is willing to believe it or not, whether he is willing to collect evidence is unknown. So he simply confessed, hoping that there would be a tolerant treatment.
"Good."
Taylor nodded, took out a parchment scroll, wrote down Barry's disposition, and handed it to him.
Seeing the above "four-month grounding", Barry felt a wave of anger in his heart for no reason, but he still took a deep breath and pressed it down.
Forget it, at this time, it may take eight months.
Barry honestly signed, and the disposition form was made in duplicate, giving him one copy and keeping the other as a backup.
"I've informed the school infirmary, the nearest teacher from here will be here in three minutes, and her water spell is enough to heal Dririch." Taylor added, and then he had to take Barry away.
"Please wait a minute." Mu Yan suddenly stopped.
"What else?"
"Dririch cannot be treated at this time, unless you are willing to act as a notary."
"A notary? What notary? Taylor frowned.
"According to the law passed in the year 572 of the Jialan Empire's faith calendar, in order to reduce unnecessary deaths, private duels between nobles should avoid physical trauma of level 2 or higher, and if this limit is exceeded, a certain amount of money will be compensated according to the injury, right?"
"But that's to the noblesβ"
Taylor was speechless in the middle of his speech and shut his mouth.
Mu Yan looked at him with a smile, as if asking "when will the knight be recognized".
That's right, Dridge only has the status of a bought knight, which is not recognized by the public, or almost the entire Jialan subconsciously denies the nobility of this group of people.
However, it is recognized by jurisprudence after all.
As long as the knighthood is obtained through legal means, it must be protected by the aristocratic law of Jialan, which is supported by the majority of nobles.
After all, the majority of barons next to the knights were also worried that if the imperial law excluded the knights, would the next step be to marginalize them at the bottom of the aristocratic class? As the second-to-last unit of the class, as the second (in fact, the smallest unit) that makes up the vast circle of imperial nobility, they do not want and do not allow this to happen.
Therefore, although knights are "conventional" ostracized, when it comes to such a matter of principle, no one will be careless.
But...... A knight reached out to a duke, or the ducal family inherited from the Council of Six, to demand compensation, probably for the first time in the history of Jialan.
But this matter is far more simple than two students, or Jialan's students, as for how to ...... Taylor couldn't help but find it interesting to think about it.
He glanced at Barry, "Hey, Perez imp, you're in for a big deal." β
"Isn't it money, the Perez people never lose money to anyone." Barry said dismissively.
Hearing him answer like this, Mu Yan and Taylor laughed at the same time.
That's the disadvantage of not knowing the law.
Barry felt a little furious in his heart, "What are you laughing at?" β
"Barry, as the leader of the Discipline Inspection Committee and as the tutor of Jialan, I remind you that you must pay attention to and be familiar with Jialan's school rules in normal times." Taylor said coldly: "Jialan's students have always been role models for Jialan's younger generation in all aspects, so there is a clear requirement in the school rules that students who violate the laws of the empire will be punished after returning to school to set an example. It won't be as simple as a four-month lockdown, and you don't think I'm the kind of person who can settle it with gold, do you? β
Barry froze completely, his mind went blank, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
It's not to blame that he is not familiar with the law, but from his birth to the present, there has not been a case as special as it is now.
It's so special.
First of all, both parties involved must be nobles, and one of them will beat the other for no reason to the point of falling unconscious, and this action must be recorded and held in his hand.
Is there anything like that?
Yes, not only, and endlessly.
However, most of them were not the actions of the students, and the nobles who committed the crime could easily settle the matter with money in the arbitration institution.
Even if it happens to be a student who coincidentally commits the crime, as long as it is not bumped into by the person in charge of the school, there is no big problem, and as long as it is handled properly, no one will thanklessly turn over old accounts, not to mention the political circle where the relationship between the upper and lower levels is as common as eating and drinking. Such a dangerous department as the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Academy is acting in line with the principle that more things are better than less.
However, today, it just so happens that all the elements and all the coincidences are in full swing.
Barry is a student, and he is still a student of Jialan.
He committed a crime, not only by violating the school rules, but also by the laws of the Empire.
The person who witnessed the two happened to be one person, and he was also the leader of the school's Discipline Inspection Committee.
The one who holds his handle is still his enemy......
Even if he gave Barry a brain like Samuel's, he didn't know what to do for a while, let alone him.
At this time, Mu Yan suddenly spoke, "That's right, but ......"
"But what?" Barry asked subconsciously as if a drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw.
Taylor sighed, he could see that Barry had completely lost his mind and was at the mercy of the young teacher in front of him. The old nobleman also knew that such a coincidental thing in front of him was probably a game set up by the other party, otherwise he would not have been suddenly brought here by this swordsman who was too handsome to look like a man a few minutes ago, and happened to see this scene.
Now it's time to reap the benefits, although he is strict, but he also knows how to measure, so he simply plays this peacemaker, and doesn't let the situation continue to deteriorate.
The rabbit bites when he's in a hurry, let alone a guy like Barry, who often acts impulsively.
"As long as you reconcile with the victim and he doesn't prosecute, even if I am a witness, I can't force you to go to court. So when Teacher Devin comes and heals him, you can talk about the conditions, and I hope that at this time, the Perez people can also not disappoint others. β
