Chapter 200: I'm Going to the Imperial Capital
However, the Wardsmann Empire did not have a completely independent parish, but was attached to a small area around the temples of various cities, so the size of the Knights of the Templars was so small that it could not even be called a knighthood.
As a result, the staff is downsized, and under normal circumstances, the Knights of the Templar will not dismiss or take over the prosecution and investigation of cases.
As a result, other case-handling personnel under the trial court, such as prosecutors and clerks, are all nationals who have served for a long time, which is nothing more than a layer of temple personnel.
Historically, the identity of these people has not been recognized within the temple.
In other words, not when you are your own person.
Jane persuaded Yun'er bitterly, but the little girl seemed to be hard-hearted, and she was not moved at all, holding her hand and looking at her directly.
No matter what you say, it's just a sentence: "I'm going to the imperial capital." ”
Driven by her, Catherine, as a mother, also made up her mind and said that she would go with Yun'er.
Jane looked at these two stubborn women, and didn't know whether to be happy for her little grandson or worry about him.
Alas, let them go, even those who keep them, their hearts have flown to the imperial capital.
Well, then let's all go, and I hope that Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, will bless her and bring good luck to her grandson.
Little did Philip know that the two most important women in his life had boarded the train and were about to come to him, and he was sitting in the dock in the courtroom.
Listening to the generous statements and harsh accusations of the prosecutor opposite, his head was thinking about something else.
Today is only the first court hearing, and in fact it is just an opportunity for both sides to introduce the facts of the case.
The specific trial will be held in 10 days, and then it will be the final wrestling between the two sides.
Because the impact of the case was so bad, there were a lot of people in the audience today, but fortunately not too many reporters were allowed to come in, otherwise the small courtroom might not be able to accommodate so many people.
Taryn and the boys arrived, but they didn't return to Gokan City as originally planned.
Some raised their fists at Philip and danced their teeth and claws in encouragement, others were silent and refused to meet his gaze, and some stretched out their middle fingers at him, baring their teeth and making jokes.
Whatever the mood, Philip doesn't blame them, and he doesn't have a position to blame them.
In the end, Philip knew from White that the invitations in their hands had shrunk by more or less half.
Philip searched for the familiar figure, but couldn't find it until the end of the day, and his heart began to sink.
He saw old Roland, he saw Decker, and unexpectedly Steven.
Sure enough, as rumored, the whole person lost a lot of weight, and the originally strong and sunny teenager is now described as withered, low and decadent.
The eye sockets are deep, and the beard on the chin is probably not shaved for many days, and it is a mess.
His blank eyes looked at Philip, but he saw that Philip was smiling at him, and that smile seemed sincere, as if his words were always full of sincerity when he was on the field.
Before he could react, he was blocked by his grandfather Roland next to him.
Old Roland looked at Philip with a hideous expression, and the hateful gaze seemed to want to tear Philip apart and eat him.
Philip was still smiling at Roland, as if this was not a courtroom, but a picnic party in the suburbs.
"Are you sure? They don't have any hole cards, do they?" asked Roland, a little uneasy.
thought about it for a moment before he replied affirmatively: "No way, we haven't received any news, our chain of evidence is very complete, from human evidence to physical evidence, this is an iron case." ”
"It has to be!" old Roland gritted his teeth, and a sinister voice emanated from between his lips and teeth.
had done a good job in the previous matter, and as soon as Philip was convicted in ten days, he had already arranged a series of plans for the follow-up.
At that time, not only him, but he also had to let his grandson Steven see the miserable end of this kid with his own eyes.
Today's court session is very short, with less than an hour to complete.
Pulled up by the Templar who acted as a bailiff, Philip turned and walked backwards, when suddenly a familiar object flashed in his sight.
It was a small silver ring, a symbol of the all-metal Fever band, which Philip had deliberately custom-made when the band was formed, and each member of the band had one.
Philip smiled, smiling brightly, leaving the Templars beside him a little baffled.
Although the wearer of the ring was completely different from the familiar figure, Philip recognized his identity from the look in his eyes.
Peter, his partner.
What a genius, sitting in a pile of reporters, but as if he was familiar with them for a long time, interesting.
After the trial, Philip was sent back to the detention center in the Miyan district, where he saw the Wesleyan again with them.
After a few days, the teenagers were a lot haggard, especially Phelps and Randall, who had lost a lot of weight with the naked eye.
As soon as they met, Wesley gave him a big hug, patted him on the back a few times, and said, "No need to explain, I understand." ”
Then there was Chuck and the others, each of whom hugged him in turn, and said words of enlightenment and comfort.
Although he felt a little embarrassed, Philip's eyes were still sour, and he was ridiculed by Wesley and the others.
After taking his seat, Philip had a thousand words, but he didn't know where to start.
It was Wesley who spoke first: "I have already spoken to my family, and this time the other party has calculated our entire academy, and this is no longer your own business."
The meaning of the family is that no matter what the outcome of your trial is, it will be on your side, and this is a promise from the Giant Bear.
Only this once, advance and retreat together. ”
Chuck also nodded, indicating that this was also the position of Shadow Hunter.
Wesley suddenly laughed and said, "You don't know how happy those old guys are when the news of our championship reaches Gokan City.
They drank all night, no worse than we did, and almost drank all the good wine from Chuck and the others.
So, don't think too much about it, this time someone dares to discredit our honor, and that is the enemy of the entire Gaokan City.
It is inconvenient for Lord Marquis Nuo to express his position together, otherwise it will seem that the entire Gaokan City is too united, but he has privately contacted the media forces controlled by their family in the imperial capital to fully cooperate with our actions. ”
This news is indeed a relief in the snow, Philip originally thought that he would have to wait for the results of his trial to come out before the family behind them would stand in line, but he didn't expect it to be so early.
No matter who is behind the other party's advice, I'm afraid it's hard to imagine that this time he touched the scales of those old guys, and Gaokan City is more united than the outside world imagined.
Uncle White didn't come today, I'm afraid he was also busy connecting and integrating forces.
"Are you sure about the trial in ten days?" asked Phelps suddenly.
Philip's eyes changed, then he shook his head and explained, "Still preparing, Lawyer Ross is very experienced, and my uncle said that it can be completely handed over to him." ”
Boris sighed lightly and said, "If there's anything you need our help with, just say it." ”
Philip nodded, pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "How's the invitation in your hand?"
Everyone was silent, and the scene was quiet.
Wesley glared at Philip reproachfully, but Philip shook his head, and he could see that Wesley had always been very protective of him.
But he could not pretend to be deaf and dumb and enjoy their kindness with peace of mind.
Among these people, Wesley naturally didn't have to worry, he was the only heir of this generation of the Giant Bear Division, even if choosing a good institution of higher learning was just gilded, it would actually have little impact on his life.
Boris will stay in the bear, but I don't know if anything will happen now, and it is understandable that people go to higher places.
Feelings belong to feelings, interests belong to interests, and even if Wesley talks to him, it is nothing more than a naked condition.
Chris is not a big problem, he is one of Bruce's royal team, and he should stay in the Crazy Lion, and their family is already four generations of old Crazy Lion.
The people who were most affected were Chuck, Randall, and Holps, especially Holps.
In the final championship battle, his performance was amazing and won the affirmation of many experts.
And he has the least three marks on his body, he is not bound by any constraints, and he has every reason and ability to freely choose the future he yearns for.
The first to speak was Chuck, who was in the most similar situation to Philip, both of whom were descendants of the line, but they were not the heirs of the first line, so the chances of staying in Shadow Hunter were not great.
In the same way, if Philip is a mediocre talent, he will stay in the Wild Lion, be blessed by the family, and grow up smoothly.
But he, like Chuck, is amazingly talented, and staying in the Wild Lion will affect Bruce's authority.
So Grandpa Brad had already talked to him about introducing him to his friend after he graduated, Carter Depp, the commander of the first division in the Wind Legion and the White Deer Division.
In contrast, Chuck's situation is even better, he is not awake, and his half-brother is a full six years older than him, and there is no strong comparison and competition between the brothers.
Chuck said, "I have accepted the invitation of the Higher Branch of the Royal Academy, and according to the law, there should be one person in this generation who has developed in the center of the empire. ”
Everyone nodded, this is the inevitable law of family development, everyone agrees with this line of thinking, and they all do it.
Then there's Randall, who is in an awkward situation, and Chris is determined to follow the future heir to the earl, Bruce.
Chuck, who is also a shadow hunter, chose to go out and work hard and start over.
He's torn between staying and going out, so this opportunity is important for him.
His eyes were a little red, and he lowered his head and said, "Maybe I still want to go back to Falcon, it's my father's advice." ”
Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone knew that the best of all his invitations, from the Flame Legion, had been notified to be invalid.
