Chapter 1 Seven-Day Hearings

Liu Xiuyun was a teacher, and his total time for Qionglin was more than sixty years. He looked fairly young on the outside, with thick black hair, almost no wrinkles on his face, and certainly no fortune, which the mages rarely did. He had just turned 125 last month, which means that he had spent almost half of his life working for Joanlin. Unlike many people who are forced to serve Jonlin, he has enjoyed his work in Jonlin from the beginning, and he can do the menial work that magicians don't like, and he can do it in an orderly manner. He can sort through boring materials, he is also willing to remember complex human relationships, he has the ability to work efficiently, and he also has the magic strength of a first-class master, and he has steadily risen through the ranks in Qionglin for sixty years, until he has been in the position of chief magician of the lineage supervision committee.

He had been in the center of the magicians for sixty years and had a wide range of people, but he was not very social. He was too serious in the eyes of many people, perhaps because of this, it was not until fourteen years ago that he finally met a woman with whom he was in love, married thirteen years ago, and then finally got a daughter after ten long years. He personally registered his daughter's information on the wizard roster of the genealogy supervision committee he managed, and that moment was truly the best time of his life. It should be said that since he met his wife, his life has entered a good time.

No matter how many mages looked down on his seriousness, he didn't care more and more, and gossip could not shake his determination. He was convinced that the Supreme Council was very important to a fragmented mage society, that each person had a meaning for his existence, that he believed in his work, in his efforts, and that his wife fully supported his beliefs. He carefully organized every mage level exam, and personally conducted the final review of every mage who had to be transferred to human society to survive, and he considered himself worthy of it. However, the mage, named Roach, was like a piece of mud thrown over his door, which became a stain on his entire department.

However, so far, no one has specifically attacked his department, probably because a strong telepathic has not been detected, and the Mind Society is also half responsible.

He knew that he was thinking nonsense, and subconsciously stretched out his fingers and knocked on the unpainted desktop with the second joint, and the voice interrupted Zhou Quan, who was reading the report. More than one mage turned his gaze and looked at him with sleepy eyes. It seems that he is not the only one who is distracted, the wind gusts in the temperate woods of the highland mage, and the warm wind urges the people to be unrefreshed on the spring afternoon created by magic. An unknown bird was singing in the canopy, and a yellow caterpillar had dropped on the table, magically made larger than an eggplant by the second mage of the Experimental Magic Committee, and might reach the size of a winter melon in five minutes.

Liu Xiuyun glared at the experimental mage sternly, the little bald head of the Experimental Magic Committee was named Sanchun, his surname was indeed San, his name was strange, and he was not very normal. There are very few male mages who are less than one meter tall, and the Sanchun mage is not only less than one meter, but also has a rather long upper body, and the rare poor proportions among mages make him look particularly short and fat. He winked at Liu Xiuyun, who had no sense of humor and glared at him coldly, until he finally gave up and waved his hand to move the caterpillar to the back of the tree.

The female mage opposite him, named Xiang Gan, rolled her eyes and snorted with her mouth not very politely, "I thank you!" ”

At this moment, the swollen caterpillar slammed into the trunk of the tree and shattered with a "snap". Liu Xiuyun could imagine the disgusting scene behind the tree trunk, and he glared at Sanchun sternly. It wasn't until Miharu turned his gaze away and began to touch his bald head that he withdrew his gaze, and his attention was drawn to Master Fanning, who was sitting diagonally across from him. He is the younger brother of the Ninth Venerable Fan Ya, and the Fan family, like the Liu family, is a thriving family in the mage world, although it is not as good as the big human family, but the birth rate is still higher than the average of the mage himself. However, Fanning is half of Fan Ya's younger brother, and they are not the same mother. He was well aware of the genealogy of mage relationships, especially the major mage families. He noticed that Fanning was nervous, looking embarrassed and unbearable, and he was still rubbing a piece of skin on his brow bone, as if he was having a headache.

It was no wonder that he would be like this, Zhou Quan, the secretary who served as the moderator of the meeting, was reading out a long investigation manuscript, and in addition to the overkill attack on the young mage in the ancient town that they all already knew, the part of how Chi Yu, the battle mage subordinate to Fan Ya, was in the territory of the highland mage, and tried to kill the mage Luo Qi in a frenzy.

Zhou Quan's mouth was dry, and now that they had all listened to the process of Luo Qi fighting back and escaping, the report should be coming to an end. Liu Xiuyun looked at Venerable Liu Li, who had been sitting next to Zhou Quan and had been silent, this report might have come from her. She spoke very cautiously throughout the investigation, after all, she did have some relationship with the client, and it was her attitude to be cautious.

Zhou Quan finished speaking at this moment, picked up the transparent glass next to him and took a sip of water, and then raised his eyes to look at the entire investigation committee sitting at the round table. "The above is the entire process of the battle mage Chi Yu's attack on Luo Qi, and it is used here as a supplementary material for Luo Qi's risk assessment. As you are aware, then, for well-known reasons, Master Highland has asked us to conclude the risk assessment of Master Roach within a deadline, and please note that the Supreme Council has agreed and requested that a final report be produced within seven days. ”

He paused for a moment, no one objected, no one even spoke, the meeting was announced as a formality, and everyone already knew about the thunderous wrath of the Highland mages and the political friction caused by their misconduct. Zhou Quan continued, "Within seven days, the Supreme Committee opened the highest authority for this assessment operation. The Wizards may request access to any materials related to Roach at the hearing, and may subpoena anyone associated with Roach, including but not limited to all Wizards. ”

"I want to summon Roach's father."

Liu Xiuyun looked over when he heard this, and it was a mage named Bailida who was a member of the Mage's Commercial Trade Control Committee, and Liu Xiuyun was not very familiar with him. I vaguely remember that his main time was spent working on the Pendragon Orbital System, and that the access points to the Pendragon Orbital System were subject to an audit by the Mage Council, which he was also responsible for. Liu Xiuyun once proposed that there be a recusal system in the mage society, for example, he should put an end to his self-censorship. However, most of the mages opposed his proposal, on the one hand, the actual situation was that the mages were understaffed, and the service in Qionglin was often part-time, which was difficult to pick and choose, and it was an efficient choice for professional mages to be in charge of professional work. On the other hand, the mages believe that they have been tested enough to conduct a trust investigation on them, and they are all fair and honest mages, the elite of the elite, and naturally they are able to handle the work of the committee fairly, justly and reasonably. In other words, a virtuous mage can certainly do a good job.

Zhou Quan didn't seem to hear what Bailida was asking clearly, and looked puzzled, until Master Bailida repeated his question again, and Zhou Quan understood. "Uh, Master Baili should know that Dr. Luo is missing"

"Since important witnesses can't be present and can't be investigated, how can we know about Roach's safety?" Barida asked earnestly.

Zhou Quan laughed dryly, "Then we might as well list Doctor Luo as another criminal who needs to be investigated for safety, and restart an investigation against him at a later date." Personally, I suspect he's a pervert, and Roach is clearly his first victim. ”

Venerable Liu Li didn't speak, but glanced approvingly at Zhou Quan, who couldn't slip his hands.
