Chapter 46: Naxi's Defense Lawyer
The turmoil caused by the Scarlet Night still haunted Yefaran, and the arrival of the Ninth Abyss Lord, Mooris, plunged the City of Mages into an inexplicable panic. Although the alliance of Master Hu Teng** and Brigade Mage Roy Shilin defeated the invincible Abyss Lord, the escaped demon was like a sword hanging above his head, and he didn't know when he would fall back.
Angelo, who caused this disaster, caused endless trouble for Valhalla, and the unwitting mages were caught in the whirlpool of public opinion. A group of sorcerers gathered to demand that the Council of Mages exile the aliens from these mages in order to repay Angelo for luring the Abyss Lord to the world of Karatok.
In order to appease the outrage, the Magic Inspectorate not only imprisoned the culprit Angelo, but also arrested a number of war mages who had a good relationship with Angelo and other people related to the case.
Like the great craftsman Makrov and Angelo's only remaining student Naxi, the two of them have been treated as Accomplices of Angelo.
The Judicial Supervisory Committee also raided the bookstore of the Alec brothers, but the magicians did not get their way. After completing the two-ring ritual magic array, the Alec brothers, who had an amazing sense of smell, had already packed up their salutes and left Ye Falan.
In order to appease the city's emotional magicians, the Mage Council decided to hold a public trial of Angelo, the Grand Craftsman, and Naxi.
Of the three, Angelo was the main culprit. Unauthorized contact with the abyss was already prohibited by Ye Farlan, not to mention that Angelo used the blood mage he had arrested privately as a sacrifice in order to summon demons. Even if he was tricked into summoning the terrifying Ninth Abyss Lord Lord over for a while, it would not clear Angelo's guilt. After all, Angelo is responsible for all disasters.
At the same time, the Judicial Supervision Commission believes that the master craftsman has unshirkable responsibility. As a master craftsman of Valhalla Academy, he knew that the golden compass was the key to opening the Otherworld, and he also helped Angelo complete it. For this reason, the JISC judged the dwarf to be Angelo's accomplice.
As for Naxi, the poor fellow, the Judicial Supervision Commission was reluctant to prosecute him. Although he has been a disciple of Angelo for almost a year, Angelo has never given his disciple a mage certification of Ye Falan. In a sense, Naxi was not part of Yefaran's family at the moment, he was just an illegal settler who had been stranded for too long.
However, the negative impact of this sacrificial summoning was too great, and many magic schools took advantage of this great opportunity to suppress the Valhalla Academy, which represented the war mage. If Angelo and Makrov were to be prosecuted alone, the other magicians would not give up, and the Judicial Supervisory Committee also listed Naxi as one of the accomplices after some consideration.
If convicted, the three of them will be punished with the severest punishment by Yefaran.
Imprisoned in a prison for the second time in his life, Naxi felt that he was a tragedy. Looking at the Law Supervision Commission detention center, which was even more stuffy than the Forbidden Demon Prison, Naxi had no temper at all now.
Compared to the last time, the senior Malfoy, who took good care of him, is no more, and Mr. Angelo is even more regarded as the main culprit in summoning the abyss time, and is imprisoned in a more heavily guarded place. And those battle mages who had just become familiar with them avoided themselves, for fear of being treated as accomplices.
In other words, there is no one in this city of mages who can fish out the Naxi who is imprisoned here.
Naxi was also a little confused about Angelo's summoning of the Abyss Lord, because he fainted at the beginning of the sacrificial summoning. In the past few days, people have come to interrogate Naxi one after another, and after seeing some of the evidence presented by those people in the Legal Supervision Commission, he realized how close he was to death that night.
Even if it wasn't the Abyss Lord who was summoned that night, Naxi was still cannon fodder. Because Angelo used him as a consumable to fend off the demon's first round of attacks in the beginning.
When he understood the intentions of the person he respected the most, Naxi felt that the world was terrible for the first time.
However, the people of the Legal Supervision Commission did not think of going with Naxi, and they regarded the only survivor in front of them as an accomplice.
According to the Legal Supervision Commission, the Ninth Abyss Lord from the Abyss of a Thousand Pupils turned the entire Yefaran upside down, causing a large number of casualties. Like the Mage Guards guarding the Forbidden Prison, all but a few survivors who reported from the Secret Passages were killed by the Abyss Lord and his puppet Katrina.
Of all the people involved, only Naxi and Angelo survived, giving the enforcers the possibility that Naxi was the key figure in the entire Sacrificial Call, in addition to Angelo.
Because apart from this, they can't think of a second possibility. Because every interrogator did not believe that Naxi, who had no skills, could survive in such extreme circumstances.
At first, Naxi was very agitated and argued with the interrogators, trying to explain his innocence. However, he was not good at words, and he couldn't find any reason to convince the magicians of the Law Supervision Council to give up.
The rounds of interrogation made Naxi look a little exhausted, and he had no choice but to give up his defense. While magicians don't resort to brutal torture methods like violence, they don't reject magic that makes interrogation easier.
However, the people of the Legal Supervision Commission seem to ignore Naxi's special physique, and quite a lot of torture magic is useless on Naxi. In the end, they still couldn't get their wish and get more information from Naxi's mouth.
Exhausted by the rounds of interrogation, Naxi fell asleep, feeling that he would be exhausted if he was subjected to those inhumane interrogations.
Before he could fall asleep, the guards of the detention center clanged again on the red-rusted door.
"Prisoner F178, someone has come to see you!" the guard was a little tired of it, even though the duty system of the detention center was a shift system, he couldn't stand so many people visiting this inconspicuous prisoner. These days, there have been no less than 50 people on his duty.
Naxi, who was so tired that he was about to fall, stood up again: "I'm honest enough, why don't you let me go." They all said I didn't know anything about Mr. Angelo's plans!"
The visitor was a young man who was a head taller than Naxi, and looked to be about the same age as Naxi. When he saw who was coming, Naxi was also a little surprised. It wasn't the size of the person who came that surprised him, but the fact that the person in front of him didn't look like a magician at all.
The slightly extravagant dress did not make the young man show the arrogance of the rich, the fancy magic wand was beyond the practical name of the magic wand, and the quaint style dagger at the waist was more dazzling than anything else. It was definitely not an ordinary sword, combined with a slightly smiling flirtatious demeanor, Naxi felt that the person in front of him was not like a person from the Law Supervision Commission, nor was he a mage from Ye Falan, but a noble son who had come here to travel.
"I almost forgot to introduce myself, my name is Green, and I have accepted someone's commission to defend you at the trial in four days' time. In other words, scolding me for being your defense lawyer. The young man who called himself Grien said with a smile as he stretched out his hand to greet Naxi, "I've read your profile, your name is Naxi, right?"
"Defend me?" Naxi felt a little confused, he had only learned the word magic trial a few days ago, and today he was once again exposed to a novel word, defense lawyer.
"It seems that you don't know much about magical judgments. Grien saw Naxi's confusion.
"Nope. Naxi argued, "I know what a magical trial is, but I don't understand what a defense lawyer means. ”
During that round of interrogations, Naxi roughly guessed that he would be escorted to Yefaran's chamber and then judged by a trial. Because this judgment was directed at the magician, everyone called him the magic trial.
"Let me make a brief explanation, according to the rules of the magic trial, throughout the trial, the legal supervision committee acts as the prosecutor to prosecute your crimes. Along the way, the ad hoc court will arrange for you to have someone to refute the legal guardianship charges on your behalf. And I am the one who defends you, that is, the defense lawyer. Glynn briefly explained his responsibilities.
After hearing this, Naxi suddenly became a little puzzled: "Did you arrange it by the Legal Supervision Commission? Anyway, you will condemn me at that time, is this interesting?"
After hearing this, Greon hurriedly waved his hand: "Ah, you misunderstood, I am not from the Legal Supervision Commission. In general, defence counsel is provided by the defendant. We sensed that the court was going to skip this and convict you directly, and we felt that this was unfair, so we bravely stood up and planned to defend you. ”
"You?" Naxi, who suddenly sensed that something was wrong, became even more wary, "since you are not members of the Legal Supervision Commission, then who are you? ”
There is no profit to be early, and now Naxi no longer wants to trust others as easily as in the past, and Greon must have an ulterior motive in finding him.
"It doesn't matter who we really are. I just want to tell you that if you are convicted in a magical trial, there is a good chance that you will be exiled to another dimension. You're a magician and should understand what I'm talking about. Greene said with a smile, refusing to say his position easily.
"What kind of exile in another dimension, then it is better to let me die!"
As soon as he heard that he was going to be exiled to another dimension, Naxi suddenly became nervous.
For a magician, the most cruel punishment is not death. Some punishments make mages feel worse than death than death, and exile is one of them. No mage could have predicted which world he would be exiled to. And that waiting for hell in endless darkness, in trepidation, is worse than death.
"Although the probability of your conviction is high, I am sure that I will acquit you!" said Greene confidently, "If you tell me in detail everything that has happened since you came to Yefaran, I should be able to find a way to clear your name." ”
"Really?" Although the half-believing Naxi felt that the person in front of him was a little unreliable, but now he could only let go, "Okay, if you want to ask something, as long as I can know, tell you." ”
