Chapter 452
There is dead silence in the cell.
"Is there any...what's the problem?" The bruised Lussac hung his head, and a wind-like voice came from his chest.
The black hair wizard forced his composure, the hands clenched into fists trembled slightly, and said with great difficulty:
"Why?"
He was really looking for There was no reason why Lussac would poison Siscott, and he didn't want to believe that this was the truth of the matter.
Even the "truth" that the "murderer" told him himself...
"Are you... forced?"
Lysac, dying He just shook his head tiredly: "Do you know that there are few descendants of the Charn family who can live to 60 years old?" .
If you remember correctly, the Lord Siscott Charn is 76 years old this year!
"I got the invitation two months ago, when they told me it was just for the maintenance of Lord Siscott's body." Lussac's eyes were dim and his voice was hoarse: "At that time, the Elbert Master I also came to persuade me, saying that accepting this job can bring the wizard closer to the nobles."
"For the favor of the Albert Master, and to make the family more affluent, I promised "
"But when I actually saw Lord Siscott, it wasn't like that." Lussac was weak and desperate as if trembling all over: "Even the opposite, he I'm already dying!"
"Relying on the huge financial resources of the Charn family, various rare herbs and alchemy potions, the old man was barely able to control his condition, and it seemed to be no different from an ordinary old man."
"But in fact, he was able to stay awake for no more than six hours a day... In this case, they hoped that I could cure Lord Siscott’s disease, or at least maintain the same condition. "
Loren, who was hearing this, slightly startled, but in the end he remained silent, and his squinted pupils looked thoughtful.
"If it is a healthy adult, I may still be sure; but an elderly person who is dyingly ill cannot withstand any risks, and it is very reluctant to maintain the original state."
Lussac suddenly looked up, like a desperate wild beast: "Until that night!"
"In order to participate in the banquet of the Imperial Family wizard Academy, Siscott forced me to prepare The potion to keep him awake, saying that he must not show weakness in front of outsiders, and must be able to persist until the end of the banquet."
"I did so, and then watched him drink the bottle of alchemy with my own eyes. Potion, I pray that the Holy Cross can bless me for such a short night at least, but the result is..."
"I personally poisoned him!"
Lysac double His eyes trembled, and he closed his heavy eyes with pain and unwillingness.
There was another moment of silence, which lasted for nearly two minutes.
The black hair wizard frowned slightly and opened the mouth and said quietly in a low voice, "This matter...how many people know about it?"
"No, I am Sith Kurt’s work as a physician has always been done in private." Lusac, who bowed his head, shook his head sadly: "Some people in the Charn family may know the secret, but they will never say it."
Loren eyebrows raised, still thinking.
"His Royal Highness Brandon’s wizard advisor, I know what you want to do...it’s useless." Lussac’s desperate voice came from a faint:
"Yes, if it’s true Those who are interested may be able to find one or two clues, but no noble in the Imperial Capital dare to provoke the Charn family for me as an alchemist. You can only return without success in the end."
"The real reason why the Chaen family has rarely lived to be 60 years old...It is a big secret. Once you try to uncover the truth, even if you just have the idea to be discovered..."
"You have to face a thousand-year-old Ancient Family, irreconcilable chase!"
"So, I advise you to give up."
With With an extremely sad tone, Lussac, who was leaning on the stake, slowly closed his eyes.
Loren Ze looked at his desperate expression and pursed his chapped lips:
"Master Lussac Kovo...but before leaving, I have one more I want to ask you something."
"Please consider it carefully before telling me, what are you..."
"Do you want to live?"
The atmosphere is a bit stagnant, and only the yelling of mice can be heard in the foul-smelling cell.
Lussac, who closed his eyes tightly, was silent for a long time, but in the end he was slightly nodded.
"This is enough. Nothing else is necessary."
Clearing his teeth, Loren, with his cold complexion, collapsed almost word by word: "The Charn family, old-fashioned nobles Either way, secret mastermind... they are not important."
"Whether you can live, whether Imperial Capital’s wizards can live with dignity, this is the most important thing!"
p>
"I can guarantee that no matter what means you use, you will never die here, let alone the murderer who killed Siscott."
" I will at all costs so that you can walk out proudly from this cell and from the gate of the black jail!" Final answer.
He is the only one who really knows Siscott’s illness and physical condition, and may know the secret truth of the Chaen family; besides him, there will be no second person.
Not only to save him, but also for the Imperial Family wizard Academy, Loren had to get the real reason for "Siscott's death" from Lussac before the whole case could turn around.
The premise is...Does he really want to live?
In an instant, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The corner of his gaze glanced at the entrance of the prison, and the sound of slight but very rapid footsteps came from the corridor, shortening the distance every minute.
There is no time!
A drop of cold sweat slipped from the black hair wizard's forehead, and held his breath tightly with the corner of his mouth.
The trembling Lussac is on the verge of collapse. The complexion pale man slowly lifts the head, his eyes are like a dead person, and the corners of his mouth are twitching constantly.
The footsteps are getting closer and faster; Loren's left hand is pressed against the crossbow on his forearm, in case of an accident.
"Almost few of the Charn family have lived through 60 years of age in the past, and the'curse' that killed Siscott." Lussac, whose teeth were trembling, was so slight that he could hardly hear it. Clearly: "Its true face is actually..."
"Clang——!"
The entrance door was forcibly opened, and a complexion pale silhouette walked in. After leaving the cell, he shrank his neck in a terrified look.
Loren's eyes narrowed slightly...He was the jailer who let him in, so to speak...
"Sorry, I disturbed both of you." Follow closely from behind the person who came in With a gentle voice, but the polite tone is extremely cool in Loren's ears:
"His Royal Highness Brandon's wizard advisor, why did he go to such a place specially?"
Under the complicated gaze of the black hair wizard, the middle-aged man who walked into the door, Victor Sius, was known for his upright, fair and unrelenting face, with his hands behind his back and the corners of his mouth. No partial smile:
"Can you please explain?"
Loren took a deep breath, with a formulaic smile on the corner of his mouth: "Master Victor Hughes, I... …"
Victor reached out and stopped and looked at him quietly: "Your Excellency Loren Torino, if you dare to show this expression again, please don't blame me."
" Bribing the jailer and meeting the felons privately... These two crimes alone are enough to exile you to East Sackland and work as a coolie in a bottomless pit."
"I'm just As a friend, I came to see Selan’s father. It didn’t mean anything else.” The black hair wizard narrowed his smile and looked at Victor plainly:
“And...I think this time The case should not be as simple as it seems. Master Lussac is absolutely impossible to kill Lord Siscott!"
"That is not something you can decide, Loren Torino-Your Majesty This matter has been fully handed over to the Royal Cabinet, and I will judge who is responsible."
"And I will make the most fair judgment based on the evidence and facts."
The indifferent Royal Justice frowned slightly: "Only this time, Your Excellency Loren Torino, I will pretend that you haven't been here and will not report this matter to the Royal Cabinet and Your Majesty, but... there will never be any. Next time."
"Don't forget, you are not just yourself!"
