Chapter 69: The Judgment Will End [4k words]
In the days that followed, the atmosphere of the trial became noticeably more serious and depressing.
People are also gradually realizing that the last 25 matches may not be as smooth as the previous ones.
The next day, three more matches ended.
Two of the victories were Redeeming Wizards, and only one was on the side of non-wizard scholars.
In the next three days, five more matches were ended, but this time the victory was all on the side of the non-wizard humans, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
But before they could be happy, the wizards of the Redemption Sect won four more competitions in the next three days, and instantly raised everyone's hearts to their throats.
Many people gritted their teeth when they looked at the redeeming wizards who had achieved victory, but due to the rules and their own strength, they could only watch each other sit on the field unharmed.
From beginning to end, Boye just stood quietly in the stands, staring blankly at what happened.
As long as the Redeeming Wizard does not actively break the rules, he will not do it, this is the guarantee he made as a great wizard and must be obeyed.
Every subsequent competition left everyone's hearts hanging in the air, and some even looked more nervous than the scholars on stage who faced the results.
In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed since Vito's victory, and twenty-four of the last twenty-five matches have ended.
A total of ten redemptive wizards won the tournament, while non-wizard scholars won fourteen, and when the results were seen, everyone's reactions were different, but all were surprisingly similar.
"Won 14 games......"
Moya's eyes flickered as he looked at the Redeemer Wizard who had just been executed.
He also had the same look as Vito sitting in the field, but his face was obviously much uglier than Moya's.
"Rubbish, all rubbish!"
The four people he had previously identified as being his 'cellmates' only survived in the end, which directly made Vito feel a hot pain in his face inexplicably.
Even his favorite Lev was defeated, and although this success allowed Vito to get his wish and see the other party begging for mercy like a pug for his life, he couldn't be happy.
"Lev, you idiot! Even such a low-level mistake can be made! Did he all his brains out of bed! ”
The sound of angry gnashing of teeth faintly came from under Vito's face, he really didn't expect the result to be so different from what he expected!
He originally thought that at least twenty people, including himself, would survive the last twenty-five games, but now it was only half of that number.
"Forget it, it's the same if someone else joins forces, anyway, this group of guys won't be willing to stay in the Tower of Truth for the rest of their lives."
Vito glanced at the other nine who had won the contest and considered which ones to choose to team up with.
"Well, is Claris over too? Forget it, it is estimated that it is also a waste one. ”
At that moment, the final match was abruptly over, and Vito lost interest after glancing at the wizard.
It was a female wizard, and in Vito's memory, the other party was a marginalized existence both on the surface and in the redemption faction, and did not publish any noteworthy articles.
But in the next second, the result of Boye's shouting made a look of surprise appear in Vito's eyes.
"Victor, Wizard Claris."
Hearing this result, the wizards of the other redemption factions on the field invariably turned their eyes over, and many people in the stands flashed with grief on their expressions.
"Christine ......"
In the row of auditoriums closest to the venue, the old man closed his eyes in agony as he looked at the young man who looked to be in his early twenties among the ten people standing in front of Claris.
The young man named Christine was his proudest disciple and the only non-wizard scholar in the entire field who was under the age of forty.
Originally, the old man planned to play in person, but Christine chose to replace him on the grounds that his state had declined too badly.
But the old man knew very well that the other party was worried that if something happened, he could exchange his life for his life!
But after a few seconds, the old man suddenly felt that something was wrong with the movement around him, and he opened his eyes and was stunned.
The blood-spattered scene he imagined didn't appear, and he saw the wizard named Claris standing in place, quietly looking at the ten people in front of him, doing nothing.
Then, under the gaze of the crowd, they saw Clarence close her eyes and sighed.
"Boye, I take the initiative to admit defeat, let's do it."
There was an uproar in the audience.
Even Mo Ya, whose expression had always been relatively calm, was stunned, even he didn't expect such a scene.
Obviously won the competition but took the initiative to admit defeat and seek death?
"Claris, can I hear your reasons for doing this?"
Boye landed on the ground, looked at Claris, and asked with a calm expression.
Claris looked at Boye, and after meeting the other's vicissitudes of life and deep gaze for a moment, she lowered her head and sighed softly.
"Since the Great Wizard personally asked, I definitely have to save face."
As she spoke, she looked at the ten people standing in front of her, her eyes showed a touch of tenderness, and she said softly:
"Maybe it may seem to you that this is just my argument for myself, but in fact, I haven't participated in the activities of the redemption faction for a long time, and I just kept the potions they sent there and didn't use them."
"At the beginning, in order to pursue the realm of transcendent wizards, I couldn't hold back the desire in my heart and accepted their proposals, but when I found out that my talent was probably not able to break through to transcendent wizards even if I continued to take the potions they provided, I was suddenly confused."
Claris said, a complicated and bitter look on her face.
"What the hell did I do? What am I doing this for? During that time, I found that I suddenly couldn't sleep, because as soon as I fell asleep, the voices of the children I had killed on the operating table would haunt me like a nightmare. ”
"It makes me very painful, but I don't dare to say these things, because I know very well that once I am exposed, I will only die."
"Therefore, I chose to escape, I began to devote my mind to research, trying to numb myself with it, I did not refuse the potions they sent, but I did not dare to drink them, but I did not dare to destroy them."
"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I was laughing at myself at the time."
Claris looked at her palm and said with a wry smile, whether it was her demeanor or words, she could clearly feel the confused state of the other party at that time.
"After that, it was you who suddenly broke into my wizard tower and arrested me, and to be honest, I was even inexplicably relieved when I learned that I was going to be executed."
"Actually, I was going to throw in the towel, after all, death may be the best relief for me, but you made me change my mind."
With that, Clarence shifted her gaze to Christine, the youngest of the ten.
"Especially you, child, when you said to me that you wish I could give it my all, and told me that this is the greatest respect for knowledge and truth and for you, I suddenly came to my senses."
A smile appeared on Claris's face, as if the burden that had been weighing on her for so long had suddenly been lifted.
"Indeed, I was so ignorant that I couldn't even understand such a simple truth, and even did that unforgivable evil for the sake of so-called power."
"I've lost my credentials to chase knowledge, but until then, I'll at least be able to maintain what little dignity I have left as a wizard."
"Now that I think about it, my immersion in research to numb myself during that time helped me a lot, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to win this competition."
As she spoke, Claris stepped forward, and when she saw this scene, the ten people moved slightly, but looking at each other's expressions, they still stopped retreating and let Claris walk in front of her.
"Boys, you are all very good, and it is an honor for me to have the opportunity to have such a competition with you at the end."
Claris said softly, smiling at the people in front of her, and finally, her gaze rested on Christine.
"Especially you, kid, you're really good, I'm at your age and even bothered by not being able to fully grasp advanced elemental theory, and you're already at the forefront of knowledge."
"If I had been compared to you at the time, I would have been ashamed of myself, son, can you tell me your name?"
"Christine, honorable Wizard Claris, my name is Christine Snod."
The young man saluted slightly, and said in a respectful tone, and then, with a dignified expression, the young man said in a solemn tone:
"We are not reluctant to lose at your hands, so please retract your previous remarks, perhaps in your opinion, it was to take care of us, but for us, from the very beginning, we have decided to bet everything on this competition."
"This is our dignity as scholars, Your Excellency Wizard Claris."
The nine people beside the young man also nodded their heads one after another, expressing their attitude.
"This ......"
Claris saw the reactions of several people, and a look of hesitation appeared in her expression, and suddenly, Boye's voice sounded from behind her:
"According to the rules, it is an indisputable fact that Claris has won the competition, but it is also your own freedom as the winner to do with the loser, and the rules do not stipulate this aspect."
Boye stepped forward, looked at Claris, and said in a calm tone:
"So, according to the rules, I won't do anything to you as the winner, but on the other hand, Claris, you can't leave the Tower of Truth for the rest of your life, do you have any opinion on this outcome?"
Hearing Boye's words, Claris was stunned, her eyes gradually brightened, and then, he quickly shook his head, and said in a somewhat excited tone:
"No, no, I don't have a problem with that!"
With that, Claris felt as if she had suddenly lost her strength, her shoulders slumped down, and her eyes were full of gratitude to Boye.
The ten people on Christine's side looked at Boye with gratitude and respect.
Even many people on the stage were relieved.
But before they could react, the accident suddenly set off.
Rumble!
Because it happened so quickly, most people didn't even have time to react, only heard a deafening loud noise, and after trembling with fright, they heard Boye's angry reprimand:
"Fren, what are you doing! Stop it! ”
Click! Click!
The wizard who was closer to the venue barely had time to hear two sounds of flesh and bones being broken with his keen hearing, and a terrifying sense of oppression suddenly rose from the field.
The wind swept away, and the smoke and dust on the field dissipated in an instant, and I saw Boye standing in mid-air, behind him were Claris and the others who were protected by him with witchcraft.
"Fren, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
The questioning full of anger, even if it was separated by a certain distance, the chill in the words still made many people shudder.
They looked at the venue tremblingly, only to see that the originally flat competition site with test benches had disappeared, replaced by a large pit with a radius of about 100 meters in the center of the field, and the cracks scattered around the center of the pit.
At the edge of the pit, a grim-looking Fren grabbed the necks of two corpses with both hands, two of the ten wizards who had won the contest earlier.
As for the other eight?
Six of them had been reduced to pulp from the blow that had been smashed, and two had fallen to the ground as two headless corpses.
In the short two seconds just now, the sudden outburst of Fu Lun had already killed all ten official wizards.
"It's nothing, it's just that I have a personal grudge against the redeeming wizard."
Fren responded in a tough tone, and at the same time, not to be outdone, he released his spiritual power, trying his best to resist the oppression of Boye's spiritual power.
Dead.
No one dared to speak out.
The people present from seven years ago had basically heard of it, after all, it was very rare for a conflict between wizards to break out between wizards at the level of life and death.
In addition, it also involved the serious issue of doing something to the wizard's family, so it can be said that even a slightly more sensible child heard about it at that time.
But because of this, none of the people present dared to speak.
After all, not only did they know about what happened seven years ago, but they also knew that Fren was the current leader of the School of Life, and the most trusted wizard of the Great Wizard Boye.
Therefore, the two men suddenly clashed, and the reason for the conflict was that Fren had killed ten wizards of the redemption faction......
In this case, everyone can see the cattiness.
Obviously, this is a double reed sung by Boye and Fren, deliberately finding a reason to kill all the remnants of the ten redemption factions who had a chance to survive.
Not happy about this?
What are you kidding, when the people on the stage saw those corpses, not to mention angry, there were even many people who looked at Furren with obvious gratitude.
Of course, they all knew that it was a very serious matter for a wizard to openly attack his compatriots, so they simply kept silent and let the great wizard decide.
The punishment will definitely be punished, but everyone knows the specifics.
"Revenge? Just because of a personal vendetta, you can openly kill ten of your compatriots? Fren, you've let me down so much. ”
"But for the sake of your usual merits, there is a reason for this incident, and after the punishment of you, before that, you will not be punished to leave the City of Truth without permission!"
As he spoke, Boye waved his robe with a cold expression.
"During this period, if you dare to commit another crime, you will be punished with death!"
The crowd on the side watched this scene, all blinking, and even many wizards felt as if they had discovered a new theory.
They really don't know that the great wizard who has been leading them is so capable of acting?
The tone, the demeanor, and the biting chill made people tremble just by listening to it, thinking that it was a desperate punishment that made people die, but the specific content ......
- Shall not leave the City of Truth? Oh hell, is this a reason to have a good time?
Some even began to force a laugh.
Boye glanced around, and after seeing that his beating behavior had achieved its effect, he coughed lightly and said:
"Alright, I declare that the trial will end here, and it will all be dispersed."
So, under a small turmoil, the trial came to an end, and in the end, people talked more about Claris's repentance than about Fren's actions.
Obviously, everyone knew the reason behind Fren's last move in their hearts and decided to let the matter pass quietly.
