Chapter Fifty-Three: The Dilemma
Neroth sat on the bed, his eyes staring at the small iron window, like a prisoner about to be judged. Footsteps came from outside the magic door, followed by a knock on the door. When Neroth heard this, he quickly got up, and was locked up for a few days, this was the first time someone had knocked on his door, and the doubts in his heart finally had a chance to be answered.
He ran to the door and slapped the door inside and shouted in response to the people outside the door.
"Neroth, Master Yorick has something to ask you, just answer it inside through the door." The voice of the man who spoke didn't sound like someone from the Magic Society, but then he heard Yorick's familiar voice, "It's okay to open the door, it's not easy to communicate through the door." ”
"You can communicate through the door, as long as you can hear the voice. He's your student, and it's best for Master Yorick to avoid it and not make it difficult for everyone. We're only here to help with the investigation, so it's not good if something goes wrong. ”
"Aren't you watching from the sidelines? What else could go wrong! Neros could not be condemned as a sinner until the matter was completely revealed! I know my students well! Yorick's tone was angry.
The yellow-robed Church of the Holy Spirit mage sneered, "Haha, if you really knew that kid well, you should have discovered the things in his room, and that dark creature wouldn't have appeared!" ”
"Oh, maybe you know your student well, and you know what he does, and maybe you helped him with his ideas? Otherwise, no matter how talented he was, he would not be able to penetrate the dark magic that he had never touched with with the strength of a fifth-level mage, and draw out that powerful summoning technique. The yellow-robed mage said in a sarcastic tone.
Yorick was not lightly framed by his words, and pointed angrily at the yellow-robed mage, his angry cuffs trembling, "You are slandering!" ”
The yellow-robed mage sneered and was about to continue to stimulate Yorick with words, but his companion on the side grabbed him and persuaded him to stop talking. They represent the two major churches, and they are ordered to oversee the fairness of the Magic Association in this case against Nerich, and there is no need to tie up too deeply with the Magic Association.
The yellow-robed mage pursed his lips in disdain, completely ignoring his status as the president of the Yorick Magic Association.
"Let's ask Master Yorick to communicate with Neroth like this."
Yorick snorted.
Neroth listened to the clouds inside, and he didn't know what was going on outside, but from Yorick's conversation, he knew that his situation didn't seem to be optimistic.
"Teacher, what is the situation, why was I locked up like a prisoner as soon as I came back?"
"Did you study dark magic?" Instead of answering Nerich's question, Yorick asked him rhetorically.
"I... I didn't. Neros denied it.
"Honestly! A few days ago, the law enforcement mage captured a dark bat in Carrot City, which was initially identified as a dark summon. Someone reported that this was related to you, and that you summoned it. We've found sketches and dark materials for summoning arrays in your magic lab, you know what that means, right? Yorick spoke in a serious tone.
Neros seemed to have been drained of his soul, and the study of dark magic was finally exposed, and it was impossible for him to deny the implementation of black magic when he was caught with ironclad evidence.
"Well, well, I'll admit that I did secretly study the dark arts before, sorry, teacher, I didn't listen to you properly. ... But that dark bat creature wasn't summoned by me! I promise, I wasn't in Carrot City the other day, so there's no chance I'll summon something like that! There is something strange about this, someone wants to wrong me! Neros said to Yorick.
"The person who reported you was Taros, and he said that you were found working on the Dark Summoning Array in your magic lab that day, and that was the day the Dark Bat appeared."
"Talos? He reported me? .... I left the lab in his care the day I went out, how could he report me as a murderer? This doesn't make sense! Nerich's tone was filled with disbelief, his good friend had reported him as a murderer, a sinner!
"The truth is clear at a glance, this kid is the ultimate source, the dark summoning array is made by him, whether he summoned the creature with his own hands or not, he can't get out of this matter. President Yorick, today's chat time is over, and you can leave. I'll keep a record of what this kid said. ”
"Listen, Neroth, stay inside, there's something strange about this, and I'll help you find the truth."
"The truth is that this kid is the culprit! He can't run away, stop delaying any longer! The yellow-robed mage shouted unceremoniously at Yorick.
"I know! I don't need you to keep reminding you! Annoying guy, do you know you're as annoying as a fly! Yorick scolded the yellow-robed mage very unceremoniously.
The other mage hurried out to play the round, and the atmosphere eased a little, and Yorick glanced at the yellow-robed mage with disgust.
When everyone was done, Neroth lay down in bed and began to deduce the whole thing.
Talos has been very proud these days, especially after learning that Neroth is locked up and is to blame for this incident. Because of this incident, Neriches was reduced from a proud son of heaven who was loved and envied by everyone to a prisoner who was despised and hated. Everyone's eyes finally shifted from Neriches to him, and he enjoyed the feeling of admiration and envy.
It was thanks to Neros' trust, as well as the blueprint of the Dark Summoning Spell. He spread the picture on the table, his expression ranging from happy to angry and jealous. Although he was weak and successfully framed Nelus with this picture, he was also shocked by Nerich's powerful talent in magic, and the fifth-level magician was able to find a summoning circle on his own, which was enough to show Nerich's strength.
He was jealous of his friend's talent and feared that he would one day clear his grievances and seek revenge on him. Talos would never allow that to happen, never! He wanted Neriches to never come out, never to know the truth, and there was only one way to achieve this goal - kill him!
As soon as this idea appeared, he made up his mind that it had to be carried out as soon as possible!
Talos cast a fire spell, and a flame ignited in his palm, and the flame burned the magic map to ashes, and he raised his hand to wipe it, and the ashes were gone. Now it has nothing to do with this matter at all, maybe no one knows what he did, his identity is just an upright man who endured the pain of exposing his friend's crimes for the sake of justice.
In front of ironclad evidence, who would put suspicion on him.
Yorick wanted to help Nelus find out the truth, but now he was being dragged back by a tricky matter. The yellow-robed mage who didn't know what was wrong was going against him, making a big fuss about Nelus admitting that he studied dark arts today, and exaggerating the facts when writing his report. He called Neriches a fallen mage who had fallen into darkness, and the Church of the Holy Spirit should step up its involvement in this matter, even if Yorick repeatedly obstructed it.
He called Yorick an old, dazed mage. Yorick angrily demanded that he regain his integrity and be honest in writing a copy. The yellow-robed mage refused his request.
After the report was sent, the two major churches came to their attention, and they reworked on their plans, deciding to contact the headquarters of the Magic Society directly to prevent Yorick from making any further small moves. After obtaining the consent of the Epic Continent, the Holy Spirit Church sent more yellow-robed mages to the Magic Association to oversee the matter.
Yorick was very busy with this, and he was running out of energy when he encountered so many troubles at such an age, and he also had an illness for this, and the association was handed over to his henchman Master Luan, who asked Ruan to follow the church's train of thought about how to convict, and the first task was to help Nelus clear his name.
He also told Ruan that the breakthrough in the matter was Talos, and that he should pay more attention to him and start with him.
Kane was sent by Abides to the old woman's pharmacy on the black market for treatment, during which he woke up several times in a daze, but he fell asleep with the drugs, and he could only vaguely feel the outside world, unable to wake up, and could not hear what the people outside were doing, his world was in a blurry state.
Abydes called in Akirech to see Kane's condition, and the eccentric alchemist couldn't help but curse at Hammer when he saw Kane's bad state, and he wanted Bailly to go to hell. He almost killed Kane, the spark of hope was almost extinguished by him, and if all these years of waiting were cut off by Bailly, Kakirech would definitely fight him.
The power of the "butcher" saved Kane, and the powerful healing soon adjusted his body, and the severed carrion began to grow tender flesh. Kakireć brought more potions to strengthen his body, and he stayed in the pharmacy all day to dispense them, and the old woman became his assistant to do chores for him. He had almost emptied the pharmacy of its stockpiles.
Abydes and Elika didn't understand the science of alchemy, so they could only watch Carquirech and them go about their work. In just a few days, Kane's body has fully recovered, but it still hasn't woken him up. Abydes felt that Kane's current encounter with the purple salamander was too similar to that of an experiment.
After another month, Kakirech finally gave him all the potions he had to use on Kane, and Kane's body reached an extremely high level.
"Now it's just a matter of waiting for him to wake up and familiarize himself with this strengthened body, and the powerful sacrifice is ready, and the rest will be left to you." Kakirech said to Abides.
"Has this changed anything? It doesn't look any different from before, but I guess he still can't catch a frost spell from me. The creatures in that place are not ordinary, any low-level skeleton soldier wants his life, do you think our holy relics can be retrieved by him? Elika asked Kakirech with her hands on her chest.
"He's not what he seems, and the transcendent beings I've spent most of my life cultivating are enough to rival the Blessed One, and even the Blessed One can't match it. Don't question your abilities, and don't underestimate great alchemy! Kakireć replied confidently.
"Then we'll see, he'd better bring it back."
"Let's go see what's going on at the Dark Altar, and I'll leave it to you, Master Kakireć." Abdeez pulls El Ekica to say goodbye to them, and then makes her way out of the black market.
