"You traitors!" General Klyle's eyes widened and he roared, "Didn't you say that the person who killed my son was a tall, thin, silver-gray haired, black-eyed, good-looking young man...... What is not in line with the boy in front of you? Are you benefiting from whom, or are you threatened by someone to retract your confession at such a moment?"

"Sorry...... General Carlyle, the young man who claimed to be the son of the Duke of Foster at that time did have these characteristics, but by no means the one who is sitting in front of me now, I can't tell what is different, but no, no, no, I can't lie in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Your Majesty, you have invited three spiritual magic masters from the Tirela Academy of Magic. Raven smiled, put down a reminder, and sat back in his chair, without saying another word.

"Please be quiet in the auditorium and the crowd of onlookers!" King Kyle slapped the table, and his voice resounded throughout the square through the amplification of magic: "Master Wade, Master Laura, Master Valk, the three of you go down to the witnesses to determine if they are lying." ”

The square fell silent, and two men and a woman, three top figures in the field of spiritual magic, nodded to the emperor, stood up from the special invitation seat, and walked down the edge steps to the judgment seat. Anyone who has seen a little more of them, even if they have never seen any of them, has at least heard their names - among them, Laura and Valk are high-level archmages, and Wade is the only person in the mainland who has obtained the title of holy mage master purely by studying spiritual magic, and he has also been invited to participate in this World Mage Exchange Conference, and he only returned from Narig yesterday, and he was invited to participate in this public trial before he rested.

Spellcasters of this level can be hired, but they will never be completely obedient to anyone.

"Please relax, I and the other two mages will check your memories. Archmage Wade, who was the leader, said solemnly, ready for the Spiritual Connection Spell.

......

Rhodes looked at his mother, he didn't know how his mother managed to make twenty-six witnesses open their eyes and tell nonsense, but now that the three archmages were going to take polygraphs on the witnesses, how should they get through this hurdle?

"What are you standing for, sit down. Raven gave the boy a soft smile and beckoned, calming his nerves.

The three mages examined the minds and memories of all the witnesses separately and confirmed that they were not lying, and the two archmages had stopped, but the last one left, Wade, who had the highest spiritual magic attainment among the three, found some anomalies - the mental world and memories of these witnesses seemed to be somewhat unnatural. He could not tell where the anomaly came from, but he was sure that it was not an illusion, and if he had to describe it, it was as if someone had done something to the memory of these witnesses, but in the end it was repaired by unknown means, painted in the original color, and at first glance there was nothing wrong with it, but upon closer inspection, it became apparent.

Wade glanced up at Raven, who was sitting beside the boy not far away, he had already heard about Mrs. Foster's amazing methods of spiritual magic from some fellow mages in the Imperial Research Institute, and today he paid attention to the anomaly and found something abnormal. He immediately had a startling guess: the woman who was defending her son not far away had altered the memory of these witnesses so that they could not recognize Little Foster!

It's hard to do with memories, but there are still a lot of mages who can do it. But everyone, including Wade himself, is only able to hide, shield, or destroy a memory...... How is it possible to modify the memories of the twenty-six soldiers who witnessed the battle from different perspectives at different locations on the scene at that time, and to change them almost seamlessly without conflicting with each other?

"How is it, have the three masters come to a conclusion?" said Emperor Kyle's voice from the stage.

"Nobody is lying. Laura, the female archmage, was the first to speak, and answered crisply and neatly.

Ibid. ”

"Master Wade?"

"Huh?" the Holy Magister came back to his senses and let go of the witness in front of him, realizing that he had taken too long.

He found something unusual, but suspicion turned into suspicion, and if he couldn't get his altered memories back to their original state, then even if he said it, it would be pointless...... Moreover, if Mrs. Foster was really a mage who could alter the memories of twenty-six people, and offended her by testifying against her son by giving her an unfavorable testimony, then I am afraid that she would not even want to sleep in peace in peace.

Wade decided to forget about it: "Back to Your Majesty, after examination, twenty-six witnesses did not lie. ”

General Carlyle, who initiated the charges, was discouraged, and sat down in the plaintiff's seat with a dead face, unable to say a word. He understood that it was impossible for these three archmages to lie in favor of a duke's son, that their words were absolutely authoritative, and that his own witnesses were not lying. Many of the nobles in the auditorium also looked bad, and some of them were heads of families or relatives and friends who had been arrested for participating in the mutiny against the Foster family, and had already been convicted of treason by Emperor Kyle's wrath...... If this public trial can prove that the son of Duke Foster is indeed guilty, at least he can gain some support in public opinion, so that the people in prison can get a little possibility of mitigating punishment in the next trial of the mutiny, but if Rod Foster is found not guilty, then the people who participated in the mutiny will probably be guilty.

"Please return to the three masters. Emperor Kyle breathed a sigh of relief, and was once again impressed by Lady Raven's methods. "Then the truth of the matter is clear, someone pretended to be Sir Rod Forster and deliberately committed this crime, trying to frame the son of the Duke of Forster, in order to stir up chaos within the Imperial army and profit from it. And General Carlyle, as a veteran of the army, not only did not conduct a calm investigation after this incident, but impulsively gave the order to slaughter the village, and after being recalled to Wenwei, he even recklessly decided to solve the problem by mutiny, and was willing to be used by the enemy, which was really stupid and in vain as a veteran of the army!"

"Your Majesty, there are still witnesses who have not appeared in court!" Just as the Emperor was sharply criticizing General Carlyle's behavior, a voice came from the auditorium: " At the time of the ambush in Hill Village, the murderer who claimed to be Rhode Foster was accompanied by a monster hunter, and a few days ago, the patrol of the Imperial Advance Legion into Anteli had intercepted and arrested the hunter who was about to cross the border to escape from Antaili to the Kingdom of Harwich, and escorted him to the imperial capital last night, and now this person is outside in the prison car, ready to enter the scene to testify!"
