"Boy, I brought the words, but you have the right to refuse. The Hagrid family is also a well-known family in the Imperial City, and if you provoke them, you may be dangerous to yourself. Although the court will protect witnesses, this protection is also time-limited, so you had better think about it. The bearded captain said very seriously. It can be seen that he admires Ryuichi very much, and he doesn't want Ryuichi to be in danger. In his opinion, Long Yi is a dragon knight with a bright future, and there is no need to provoke right and wrong for this kind of thing. Especially now that Long Yi's dragon is still underage and has not officially served, it is not beneficial for Long Yi to provoke a big family at this time.

However, the bearded man's kindness immediately played a special effect that added fuel to the fire, and Long Yi immediately said that he would immediately set off and set off for the imperial city to play Joseph to death!

And on the night that Long Yi decided to agree to be a witness, a sneaky figure touched into Long Yi's dormitory, but was swept down by Bajie's tail, and he was heavily pressed under him, unable to move.

"I'm not an enemy! I'm not an enemy! I'm coming with good intentions!" the man shouted urgently, but his voice was visibly lowered.

"Come, tell me of your kindness. As soon as Long Yi turned on the table lamp in the room, after being infused with fighting energy, the table lamp immediately reflected the person's face.

There was not a trace of blood on his thin face, as if he was malnourished, and he was dressed in black clothes suitable for nocturnal movement, but he himself had no fighting spirit.

Just an ordinary person.

Bajie pinched the man's arm, and the man immediately bared his teeth and shouted in pain, but he also lowered his voice.

"Eight precepts. Let him go. Long Yi said to Bajie, he also wanted to see what this person's kindness was, it wouldn't be fun to let Bajie pinch him to death.

Bajie grinned. Showing its teeth that are cleaned every day, Bai Sensen's teeth reflect the light of the lamp, and the person seems to be able to see his own reflection from Bajie's teeth.

"Hello Lord Long, I'm just a nobody, I'm from Hagrid's family...... Well, you know Hagrid's house?" the man said cautiously.

"House Hagrid, Joseph. Hagrid, I'm sure I know that. The dragon smiled, and as expected, the Hagrid family finally sent someone. "But you're coming fast. The messenger sent by the indictator had just left in the afternoon, and you came. ”

The man saw the smile on Long Yi's face, he also smiled and said, "Actually, we have been waiting for news in the academy all along. Saw the prosecutor's messenger appear. We came right away. ”

"It's really watertight, and the Hagrid family is happy. It's okay, you said that you brought kindness, then you can show me what your kindness is!" Whether it's a treasure or a machete, you draw the line.

"Ahem, on behalf of the Hagrid family, I sincerely apologize to you, Lord Dragon. The Hagrid family decided to compensate Long Yi and you 300,000 gold coins in exchange for your forgiveness. At the same time, we will also provide you with a mansion in the Imperial City. and a number of servants. If the Dragon Master is still not satisfied with this compensation, I can also contact the family immediately and strive to obtain greater benefits for the Dragon Family. ”

After the man finished speaking, he carefully looked at Long Yi's face, smiled flatteringly, and said, "My lord, what do you think?"

What a big deal!

This was Long Yi's first reaction, 300,000 gold coins was a huge amount of money for the residents of this empire with an average annual income of only 1,000 gold coins! And a set of mansions in the middle of the imperial city was worth a lot of money! How could such a so-called compensation be a real compensation?

"What does the Hagrid family mean?" Ryuichi simply pretended to be stupid and continued to ask.

Hearing Long Yi open his mouth to ask for details, the man immediately felt that there was a door, and hurriedly said.

"The family hopes that Lord Long will not agree to be a witness in this lawsuit, or even if he does, he will only be able to deal with it simply. You should know that in the Imperial City, the Hagrid family is still very famous, and this case, the joint lawsuit people have no chance of winning, because they can't find evidence at all! Hehe, it's not a secret, the Hagrid family's power is not a little bit stronger than those small families, and it's not trivial to get the Royal Academy of Spells? This so-called lawsuit is not enough to shake the Hagrid family at all. ”

The man said softly and stiffly, reminding Long Yi not to do stupid things.

"So, you brought the money?" asked Ryuichi.

"This, how is this possible, 300,000 gold coins, the villain can't carry it. The meaning of the family is that when Young Master Joseph is innocent, the family will naturally come to the door to give a reward!" What he is most afraid of is the kind of person who doesn't eat hard and soft, as long as you have a little looseness, it means that there is a chance!

"Boy, you see that I look like that kind of person who is easy to deceive? You have a lot of words with this mouth, and I can't make a penny after my feelings are at the worst, so I do things for you? Are you insulting my wisdom?"

Long Yi was furious!

"You go back and tell you what the so-called family is, just by your insincere performance, don't even think of getting my help! Besides, you'd better tell your family fools that the Royal Magic Research Institute is amazing? If you want to play spiritual spells, see who in the research institute can play banshees? If you don't accept it, let them try it!"

"Eh, Lord Long, please stop being angry, I don't mean to look down on you! Eh, Lord Long, don't drag me!?Eh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts! What are you going to do, why do you want to go to the window? This is the third floor! Ah, Lord Long, don't throw it! I'm afraid of heights!

Poof!

A figure was thrown onto a tree, rolling and smashing countless branches before finally landing on the ground. Moaning for a while, he realized that he seemed to have alarmed the night guards in the dormitory, and he hurriedly staggered to his feet and limped away.

"Che, you want to buy me, I, Long Yi, am a messenger of justice! A model for mankind!" Long Yi said shamelessly.

Early the next morning, at the table in the cafeteria, Ryuichi described to Erin what had happened last night. Erin was indignant. Resolutely support Ryuichi's approach. For a pervert like Joseph, Erin can't wait to break his leg!

After breakfast, Ryuichi went to the dean, who looked like Gandalf, to ask for leave. After hearing that Long Yi wanted to do justice, the dean readily agreed to Long Yi's request for leave. Moreover, Erin of Ryuichi is a model of continuous grade skipping, and her academic performance has always been at the top, so there is no need to force them to stay in the academy.

So, on the same day, Long Yi and Erin set off for the imperial city. Wesley, after hearing about it. Heartbroken with Chef Mosquito Brothers. Look at other people, if you have good grades, you can casually ask for leave to go out to play! Our brothers can't say that they are not excellent, but why do they feel so much worse than others?

So the three of them worked even harder. The heart is even more secretly competitive. Even if you can't compare to Ryuichi and Erin, how can you get the first place in the class!

For a while, the strength of the three of them increased by leaps and bounds.

Arriving in the imperial city, the two stayed in the General's Mansion as usual. However, General Chiron was not in the palace at this time. It is said that there is official business. The two stayed in Fuchu for the same day. The representative of the joint prosecutor went directly to the door, explained the current situation to Long Yi, and hinted that if he succeeded in sentencing Joseph, the joint prosecutors would have their own expression. Long Yi sternly rejected this obvious bribery, saying that the reason why he came here to be a witness was entirely because of his unquenchable conscience and strong sense of justice. It's not about money. And he also told the other party that the Hagrid family had sent someone to bring 300,000 gold coins and a mansion. He didn't accept it.

As a result, the representative of the joint prosecutor left the general's mansion with an indescribable expression on his face.

Next, it's time to wait for the court to begin.

There is a magnificent building in the Imperial City, located directly in front of the Imperial Palace, the top of the building is higher than the Royal Council, and it is also the only official building in the Imperial City that is taller than the Royal Council, which is the Royal Court, the most authoritative law-enforcing and law-making body in the White Dragon Empire.

It wasn't enough to alarm the Royal Court, but the co-op prosecutors insisted on going to the fairest and most impartial place in the White Dragon Empire, and they paid a huge bond for it—a money that would eventually be paid by the losing party, of course. The purpose of the co-prosecutors is obvious, they want to make this matter bigger, big enough that everyone knows about it, and then completely mess up the Hagrid family.

This is not an ordinary lawsuit, but it is driven by a chain of interests.

Long Yi had only entered a military court in his previous life, and he only went to observe. The building was small and eerie. And this court is extremely tall, facing the sun, and directly above the courthouse is a sitting white dragon, blindfolded, and one front paw grasping the scales. At one end of the scales is the human heart, while at the other end is an open book, symbolizing the law.

As a witness, Long Yi naturally couldn't keep watching, so he followed the co-prosecutor's defense lawyer into the courtroom quickly. Walk through the corridors to two huge golden doors.

"I'm sorry Mr. Ryuichi, please wait here for a while, after we go in, there are still some processes to go. The short lawyer said, wiping the sweat from his head. It's only April now, and it's spring when the flowers are blooming, and he is already sweating so much, which shows that he is still very nervous.

The dragon nodded, signaling that he was fine. On the side, Erin was already starting to tremble.

"Don't be afraid. Ryuichi grabbed Ellie's hand and whispered.

"I—I'm not afraid, but here, it always feels scary. Erin shrank down to Ryuichi's side and whispered.

This is the majesty of the law, and only when people are afraid of the law can they really restrain their own behavior, and neither morality nor self-control is capable of that. Long Yi said.

"That'...... Wouldn't it be true that humanity would never sin if he made the slightest mistake and cut off his head immediately?" asked Erin.

"Well, some small crimes will turn into homicides. You see, stealing an apple is the same price as killing someone's entire family, so how many thugs will there be in this world? That's the cost of crime. Ryuichi explained to Erin with his own understanding.

Erin is originally smart, and this kind of thing is naturally clear at all. She nodded, thinking about it for a long time.

"The master knows so much!" Xiao Zi sincerely admired.

"Xie Lu Xie!" Long Yi didn't explain, just touched Xiao Zi's head. Then wait quietly.

After that, the courtroom opened, and Ryuichi and Erin attended as observers.

Ryuichi saw Joseph. He sat in the dock with an indifferent expression, and when he saw Long Yi appear, his expression flickered obviously. Immediately, he smiled defiantly at the dragon.

Long Yi grinned and smiled as well, holding out a finger at the same time. Gently scratched his neck. Joseph's smile was even more pronounced, and he made a 'come on' gesture. Then he turned his head away, and Long Yi didn't see it. Joseph was so nervous that his hands were shaking!

Because he saw Xiao Zi!

In this world, if you talk about spiritual spells, it is estimated that there is nothing that can compare to banshees, and their control of spiritual spells comes from instinct!

Joseph glanced at the counsellor beside him. It was a big, oily fat man. Within the limits of the Imperial City. He can also be regarded as a very famous defender, and at this time, this big fat man is also looking at Xiao Zi. As soon as he saw Xiao Zi, he immediately knew what kind of cards the other party was playing!

The other side is trying to target them with some kind of evidence!

Among all the evidence adduced by both sides, there was one crucial piece of evidence, and that was the judgment issued by the Royal Academy of Magic on the influence of Joseph's mental spells on girls. In that proof, the Royal Academy of Spells proved that Joseph's spells were not enough to force the other person to fall in love with Joseph, so the girls fell in love with Joseph voluntarily, and the spells only made the girls who had fallen in love with Joseph love him even more.

The Tribunal therefore decided. In this world of free love, a girl who loved Joseph volunteered to die for him. It does not constitute rape, at most it can only be regarded as half-pushed.

This judgment, while not enough to exonerate Joseph from responsibility, can turn what might have been a headless responsibility into something that can be solved by losing money.

And for the Hagrid family, as long as the incident can be solved with money, it is not a matter at all.

Now, the joint appellant is starting from the direction of Long Yi and the Banshee, which is to target the Royal Academy of Spells!

Sure enough, a short time later, the doors of the courtroom opened again, and several researchers from the Royal Academy of Spells walked in. And one of them, Long Yi, actually knew it, and it was the second-year spell instructor!

Since the appearance of the Black Dragon Empire's spy that day, the second-year spell mentor has changed, and the original spell mentor has returned to the Royal Spell Research Institute to continue his research work. Appearing today, Long Yi is almost unrecognizable. A person who was originally such a sissy was sloppy and sloppy at this time, with stubble on his face.

Having said that, Long Yi still doesn't know what the name of this mentor is. In the Dragon Knight Academy, it seems that the instructors and instructors deliberately downplay their own names, and only let the students call them mentors or instructors, or deans. Hearing that this was a rule from the Gandalf-like dean, he thought that if he didn't know the name of the other person, he would be less close to the other person, and if he was separated, he would not be so sad.

No matter how you listen to it, this rule full of petty bourgeois literature and art doesn't seem like the old dean can come up with it.

As soon as the spell master saw Long Yi and Erin beside him, his eyes lit up, but when he saw Xiao Zi beside Long Yi, his eyes almost fell out!

Not only was the spell instructor, but several of the researchers around him were also half-dead, describing the withered appearance as if they were about to be squeezed dry. But as soon as he saw Xiao Zi, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked straight to Xiao Zi, if it wasn't for the court guards to stop him, I'm afraid this group of sloppy uncles would have pounced directly.

"Cut, isn't it just a banshee, as for this? It must be looking at my cuteness, this group of obscene uncles can't help the beastliness in their hearts!" Xiao Zi pursed her lips, looking disdainful.

Long Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, you yourself are a banshee, you don't feel anything special. But there are not many of us humans who have seen banshees, and there are few people present who know that you are a banshee, and anyone who recognizes you as a banshee is not surprised!

Finally, the court guard slammed the law enforcement sword in his hand three times.

"Silence, Your Excellency Judge has arrived!"

Suddenly, the entire courtroom fell silent. Anyone who dares to make a noise at this time will be sentenced to contempt of court, beaten, fined, and then expelled from the courtroom, depending on the judge's mood.

In the excited anticipation of Long Yi, the judge finally appeared. What Long Yi didn't expect was that person turned out to be the judge who was working against Long Yi at the opening ceremony!

This person will definitely enforce the law impartially, right?

"Now the court is open!" the falcon-like gavel of the chief justice fell, and the courtroom officially opened.

What followed was a variety of rip-off times, where the defenders of both sides refused to give in to each other and fought-for-tat, but they were basically repeated in the past few court sessions. And then comes the main event.

"Your Excellency, in order to prove our point, we have finally found the person who witnessed the events of that day, Mr. Ryuichi!"

"I object to Your Excellency, and it is not lawful for the other party to decide to use new witnesses without notifying us!"

"The objection is invalid, and according to imperial law, in the case of a major case, in order to protect the safety of witnesses, the other party may use new witnesses without notifying the defense!" said the judge.

Yay! Enforce the law impartially! Good man!

Long smiled and sat on the witness stand.

"Then, Mr. Ryuichi, please swear. The court guard on the side took out a scroll, which was full of dense dragon language, and Long Yi pressed his hand on the blank space below and read the dragon language on it.

"I swear I'm going to know everything, I'm going to tell everything, I'm going to tell everything. ”

The scroll hummed and disappeared into a golden light.

This is not a useless ritual, and after taking an oath, if you lie, you will be immediately condemned by the divine powers. At least the strength is completely lost, and the worst is killed on the spot!

"So, Mr. Ryuichi, could you please describe what happened that day? (To be continued......)
