Chapter 67: Discussion in the Audience [4k words]
There are a total of 195 wizards in the redemption faction, of which 47 core members have been Ling Chi, Murphy was captured by Boye and imprisoned in a secret prison in the barren land, plus the 13 people who have been executed at today's trial, there are still 134 wizards left.
As for why Murphy was not directly executed? There's a more delicate picture involved.
- Murphy didn't actually commit any explicit fault with his own hands.
Yes, it sounds incredible, but that's the way it is, all Murphy has been doing is to step in at the right time to resolve some problems for the redeeming wizards.
For example, in the incident between Woolendy and Furren seven years ago, Murphy only came forward to protect Woolendy, and did not do any evil deeds.
He had not refined or taken any potions made from human materials, had not conducted any research on human corpses, and had just quietly stayed in the wizard's tower in the barren land, planting his own few acres of land.
Even when Furon and Yamu and the other wizards turned the Redeeming Wizards' Towers and Bright Towers over, they discovered that things such as the refining of potions and the cultivation of human villages were all planned by the other members of the Redemption Sect, not by Morphy's instructions.
This led to the problem that they could not find any suitable reason to condemn Murphy to death.
After all, the other party's behavior is simply to be a peacemaker to resolve the conflict between wizards, and this reason obviously cannot be used to convict Murphy.
Therefore, even though everyone knew that Murphy was supporting the Redeeming Wizard, they couldn't think of any good countermeasures, especially when Murphy had broken through to the Mythical Wizard.
- If Murphy is forced to destroy and destroy at all costs, even if Boye, who is also a mythical wizard, can stop the other party, it is very likely to cause incomparably huge losses.
The mythical battle three years ago left a deep impression on all the wizards involved.
At that time, the battle between Boye, who had just broken through to the mythical level, and the mythical knights of the Holy See had already been able to destroy an area of hundreds of kilometers.
And if it were to be replaced by two wizards who had been precipitating in the mythological realm for a while, the impact would ......
It can be said that Murphy's willingness to cooperate with Boye to be imprisoned in a secret prison is already a good result, and considering the huge influence of the redeeming wizard among ordinary people, it can even be said to be the best choice at the moment.
After all, if there was really news that the Redeeming Wizard who had single-handedly saved 100,000 people back then was actually a member of the Redemption Faction, the impact would be huge, and I am afraid that it would be more than the current Redemption Wizard combined!
In today's wizarding world, in terms of merit and prestige, the highest is undoubtedly Boye Leers, who has led wizards all the way to the present.
The second is the plant wizard Hessel, who researched new varieties of wheat in time during the great famine of that year, and then developed various new herbs to cure diseases.
The third is the person who did not hesitate to overdraw his life to hold up the entire City of Truth with his own strength in the Demon Tide a hundred years ago, changed their fate in the earth rift launched by the mythical beast Covering the Mountain, and fought alone against the twelve Epic Knights of the Holy See in the Mythical War four years ago.
It can be said that if it weren't for the obvious attitude of Murphy when he protected Woolendy seven years ago, and the conclusive evidence that Fren investigated, no one would want to believe that Murphy was actually the leader of the redemption faction.
To put it simply, for a variety of reasons, both Boye and Furren chose to keep Murphy in the prison rather than show their faces there.
Therefore, there are only 134 redeeming wizards present today, and the only transcendent wizard Edward has been executed.
But that's still not a small amount.
134 wizards means a full 134 academic competitions.
No matter how you look at it, this is an incomparably large event, and there is no doubt that it will not take place near the Tower of Truth.
"Move the venue for the trial and rearrange it."
It was a decision made by Boye, but it was obviously not something that could be done in a moment.
……
So, three days later.
On the outskirts of the City of Truth.
Thanks to the efforts of the architectural wizard Emerson and other wizards of the architectural school and their disciples, the wizards managed to build a massive arena in three days.
The huge amphitheater with a radius of nearly three hundred meters could easily accommodate the entire population of the City of Truth.
After dividing the arena in the center of the arena into 134 areas, and preparing the tools according to their needs, the first time in the history of wizards that a non-wizard took the initiative to challenge a wizard.
"Moya, are you okay?"
Fren looked at Moya beside him with heavy dark circles with some concern, and asked with some concern.
He was also Mo Ya's teacher, and he could obviously sense that his disciple's state in the past two days was not very right.
"It's nothing, it's just that I've been thinking about something lately, and I'm just a little sleep-deprived because I'm too engrossed."
A smile appeared on Moya's somewhat pale face and explained.
Hearing this, Fren frowned, if it was really as simple as Moya said, how could he be weak like this.
Suddenly, Fren seemed to sense something, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"Moya! You've been in a death-sensing state for the past two days? ”
Hearing this, Mo Ya was slightly stunned, a touch of helplessness appeared on his face, and he nodded.
"You can see it, teacher, there is no way, after all, time is pressing, and only death induction can give me more time to think."
"What the hell is going on? Makes you toss yourself like this? ”
Furlen looked at Moya and asked puzzled.
As far as he knew, there shouldn't be anything that could bother his disciple so much right now, right?
The wizard who planned the redemption faction had only discussed it for one day and came to the result, but now he has not only been thinking about it for three whole days, but he has also used the death sense.
The most important thing is that looking at Moya's appearance, it is obvious that he has not yet reached a conclusion.
"Could it be that you're thinking about how to make yourself learn those skills of Ovilia again?"
Furren asked, a little suspicious.
"Ahem, how is it possible, teacher, you think too much."
Moya heard Fren's words, as if he was choking on drinking water, and after coughing twice, he denied Fren's conjecture.
"I'm not the kind of character who likes to drill dead ends, I have given up on such things as combat skills, anyway, as a wizard, mastering witchcraft is the true meaning, and there is no need to put too much thought into this kind of sideshow."
Mo Ya is colorful, looking reasonable.
"So you can beat Ovilia now?"
"No, her physical fitness is a notch higher than mine, and my witchcraft can be dissolved by her."
Moya replied honestly, and sighed slightly after speaking.
"Teacher, let's talk about something else, shall we? Don't keep staring at a combat skill and chatting about it. ”
As he spoke, Mo Ya casually looked down at the audience, only to see that the 134 competitions had officially begun.
Seeing this, Fu Lun also coughed slightly, not asking about related topics, after all, Moya's situation in terms of combat skills really has nothing to say.
As for what Mo Ya was thinking about in the past three days, since Mo Ya didn't plan to say it, Fu Lun naturally wouldn't ask too many questions.
The two set their sights on the field.
Spiritual, elemental, magical, life...... There were 134 competitions, covering 39 completely different schools.
From the demonstration of a certain hypothesis to the study of a certain phenomenon, the content of the test is basically different.
Unlike Rex's case, Boye mandated that the challenger, that is, the non-wizards, must gather 10 members before they are allowed to compete, and even the most deviant schools must ensure that there are more than 5 members.
However, the members of the Redeeming Wizards are almost all studying the mainstream schools, so there is no situation where the required number of people cannot be made.
In other words, those non-mainstream schools are almost all schools that are not directly related to the pursuit of power, such as the school of architecture, or the botanical school.
The wizards in these schools are basically bold or approachable types, and it can be said that the wizards in these schools have almost no possibility of becoming redeeming wizards.
After all, being a redemptive wizard means that you have ideas about power or power or other selfish desires, but if you really have these thoughts, you won't study buildings or plant such things at all.
"Teacher, which group do you think should be the first to divide the results?"
Mo Ya looked at the busy figures in the audience, his eyelids drooped slightly, and asked.
Hearing this, Fren thought for a while, and then said:
"It should be Kean."
"I guess so."
The content of all the competitions is clear to Fren, and the two have also looked at some information, although many of them are areas they have not covered, but they can still roughly feel the difficulty of the content of these competitions.
The Ken they call him is a wizard of the Elemental School and has no deeds, so the content of the contest is assigned by the old men who challenged him, from one of the public but unstudied topics within the Elemental School.
It was clearly unfair to the wizard named Ken, but no one in the room said anything about it.
After all, according to the request of the scholars who challenged him, the other party originally asked Ken to use the topic he was working on as a test content.
- And so it turned out to be a very embarrassing scene, a full-fledged wizard who had lived for more than two hundred years, and didn't even have anything to study.
When this fact was known, even Boye was rarely silent, and even the old scholars generously chose a relatively simple topic.
But even so, the wizards present had silently sentenced Kenn to death.
Even if there is a gap between ordinary people and wizards, it would be too foolish to think that a wizard who has completely abandoned the search for knowledge can win over a few scholars who have dedicated their lives to knowledge.
And, when the competition was in full swing, those present suddenly realized that a situation like Ken's was not unique.
Most of these 134 redeeming wizards have completely given up the study of the truth of knowledge, and have been trying to improve their strength in various ways.
"Teacher, do you think that these people in front of you are very similar to the two people you asked me to kill when you first met me?"
Mo Ya looked at the wizards in the audience with obvious panic on their faces, and whispered.
"Come to think of it, that's true."
Furren sighed, but a chill flashed in his eyes.
"People like them, even if they stay in the world, they just spoil others."
Fren's expression was visibly cold, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.
Seeing this, Moya didn't say much, and in his early years, Fren neglected personal practice because of his obsession with breaking the definition of meditation and spiritual power among wizards.
The stubborn character and the lack of realm did bring a lot of trouble to Fren in his early years.
Especially when that period happened to be the first time that the Redeeming Wizard came to the fore, it can be said that Fren's life before becoming a wizard was far from being as calm as the other party's expression.
Of course, after becoming a wizard, Fren had a lot less trouble, and after marrying the furious wizard as his wife, few dared to come to trouble in an instant.
After all, the furious wizard is a ruthless person who can't get out of bed for three days without saying a word, and no wizard is willing to provoke her man to touch the other party's moldy head if it is not necessary.
"Teacher, what do you think will be the outcome of this trial?"
After a while, Moya asked again.
"This... I'm not really sure, to be honest, after calming down and thinking about it, I feel that the Great Wizard is still a little too impulsive this time, and I think many wizards should feel the same way as me. ”
This time, Fren was asked, and after hesitating for a moment, he said slowly.
"Too impulsive......
Moya repeated this sentence twice, then shook his head with a wry smile.
"yes, that's what I thought at first, but after thinking about it for two days, I realized that I didn't think it was right."
Moya said, her gaze drifting to the other side.
There, the man, who was as calm and vicissitudes as a mountain, sat quietly in his seat, calmly gazing at the field below.
"Teacher, can I ask, in your mind, what kind of person is the Great Wizard?"
Who is the Grand Wizard?
"Why do you ask this?"
"It's nothing, it's just a little curious, after all, with your identity as Teacher Fren, you can directly call the Great Wizard by his name, but you have always called him the Great Wizard with great respect."
Moya said with a smile, looking at Fren, who was a little hesitant.
"So I'm curious what you think of the Great Wizard, Teacher."
"This... Anyway, for me, the Great Wizard is my most grateful senior, after all, if it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't be where I am today. ”
Fren hesitated for a moment, then said.
"Specifically, for me, the Great Wizard is probably the most reliable of wizards, and although he occasionally behaves aggressively, those radical decisions often bring us unexpected surprises."
Flon said, a gentle smile on his face.
"This time, too, although many wizards felt that he was too radical in agreeing to these people, none of us chose to stop him."
"Because we believe that his existence will definitely lead the entire wizard to open up a new future."
