Chapter 484
Golovin hills, black prison.
The strong stench is just like the essence. The solitary candlelight barely illuminates the mottled but extremely solid wall around, and even the face is not visible in the dim light.
At the end of the light, there is only pitch black.
The black hair wizard sits quietly in front of the candlelight, waiting for the answer from the opposite person.
The minister of the Imperial Cabinet sitting under the lamp, the Imperial Justice Victor Hughes, looked at the confession in hand and the formula of the medicine as physical evidence.
The calm and keen gaze scanned the evidence line by line, and from time to time he raised the quill in his hand to record something, and the sharp nib played briskly on the parchment.
He put down the pen lightly and looked towards the wizard advisor of Brandon with a serious gaze.
"I’m very sorry, Your Excellency Loren Torino... The evidence you provide doesn’t prove anything." Victor opened the mouth and said lightly: "It’s just a recipe sheet and from Lena Desalion. The testimony of the young lady is not enough for Lussac Kovo to completely separate the relationship."
"But it is also sufficient to prove that even if it is really related to him, the Lussac Master is definitely not intentional."
Loren slightly smiled, fingers crossed: "Intentionally and unintentionally... These two concepts are completely different in imperial law!"
"I think the royal justice is very clear about these two Hearing the unabashed sarcasm of the black hair wizard and the smile at the corner of his mouth, Victor was only coldly snorted, showing a cold smile.
"Really?"
Victor's gaze swept across Loren's face, and he was also sarcasm: "You really want to tell me... such an imperial Peak potion Master He is also the most proficient physician and alchemy expert in pathology; facing a patient who obviously died because of the side effects of the medicine...he!"
"...Is that innocent?"
"Can't it?" black hair wizard face doesn't change, shrugging slightly: "Is it possible that experts will never make mistakes, there can be no mistakes or...when they are forced by the patient?"
The judge was icy: "What do you want to express?"
"What I want to say is... What you have been worrying about is not who the murderer is, but the Master Lussac being sentenced What consequences will happen after being innocent?"
Loren looked at Victor intently, with a light smile on the corner of his mouth: "I can understand your approach very well, but please also understand... in my view Come, it is not only an intentional or unintentional question, even the evidence that the Lussac Master is implicated in this case is very reluctant!"
"The Lussac Master is the private of Lord Siscott Doctor, this is not wrong; Lord Siscott died of poisoning by the medicine, it is also true; but what if Master Lussac is determined to be the culprit who killed Lord Siscott based on these two things? Lord Victor Hughes..."
"Don’t you think that this sentence is as ridiculous as'A dagger, not an assassin' kills people?"
Loren Weiwei Lifting his eyes, he said word by word in a nearly mocking voice: "Since such a ridiculous sentence, then I use sufficient and strong evidence to prove that the Lussac Master is at most manslaughter...what's wrong?"
"And I have every reason to believe that people like Lord Justice Victor Hughes can definitely see how absurd this case is!"
"Then why is he still reluctant to make a judgment? Why does Victor Seuss, who has always been hailed as a'popular faction', puts all his energy into embarrassing a commoner background alchemist and Potion Master?"
Victor raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression unchanged.
"Is it to maintain the political stability of the empire... Yes, if the death of Siscott Charn is defined as'natural death', the Charn family will never compromise, or even unite with the old The nobles fought in the House; Lord Victor who made the verdict at that time will definitely bear full responsibility, and most likely will be removed by His Majesty to quell public anger."
"In order to prevent the rare stability of the empire from becoming a mess, in order to Keep your position in the Imperial Cabinet... Anyone with a little brain will think it doesn’t matter to sacrifice a'little' alchemist, right?"
"In the face of the overall situation, what is a wizard?" Loren With a calm complexion: "In front of my own interests, a trifling pariah... is nothing!"
"Fortunately...I read your resume. A few years ago, the Wegener wizard incident, you also Standing behind that poor wizard and doing his best to exonerate him... Until Innocent Archbishop personally came forward and used religious punishment power to sentence Wegener to fire."
"Dare to confront Archbishop head-on Victor Seuss... will never be afraid of a group of young people who attempt nothing and accomplish nothing, muddleheaded!"
"After all, we have only trifling for several years. Victor Seuss, who was not afraid of power... How can you become a villain who sacrifices others for the sake of the overall situation?"
The black hair wizard raised the corners of his mouth, with a heavy voice: "Then... let you hold on to the present, even at the expense of making one possible The innocent pitiful person went to hell, and there should be only one reason why his family's life is worse than death, right?"
Victor looked at him intently.
"If the Lussac Master is acquitted, it will harm the interests of the civilian class." Loren's expression is very subtle: "I don't know why, but... this should be the only one. The possible reason is."
"So I'm really puzzled, how can a little alchemist hurt the interests of the entire civilian class?" Loren looked thoughtful at him, index finger joints He kept beating on the table: "Master Victor, please tell me...why is this?" Victor was silent for a long time.
Until he was sure that the black hair wizard would not look away, he slowly said: "You...really don't know why?"
"I hope I don't know, because I I don’t want to believe the answer I know...it’s true.” Loren’s eyes were staring: “I don’t want to believe that even the former justice, who is known as'just', is like a fanatic who resists the wizards.”
Victor supported his arms on the table and moved forward slightly: "Two years ago, the Imperial Family wizard Academy and Potion Master’s guild of Imperial Capital initiated a motion in the House of Nobles. In the name, to provide medical assistance to the Golovin slum area."
"Of course...only the most basic cough medicine and some common medicines that can purify the water source-I still remember clearly, What they said at the time was "use the Imperial Capital slum area as a test field to prepare for the large-scale promotion of basic treatment in the future", and even plan to extend this practice to the entire Sacrament and even the entire empire."
"I don't understand, isn't it good?" Loren frowned slightly: "Indeed...they might do it to buy people's hearts or gain prestige, to change people's understanding of wizards-but forgive me to speak bluntly, if They really did this, and these are what they should be."
"Yes...because I was also on their side at the time, and I did not hesitate to offend the church to fully support this motion."

Victor stared at him with a chilling gaze, his tone getting heavier: "But you know... what did the poor, the deeply grateful wizards, do to the wizards who helped them?"
Loren's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
"I don't understand magic, and I don't know much about your wizard's many disciplines." Victor's voice is very flat, but the black hair wizard can still hear the anger in his voice:
"Your Excellency Loren Torino, tell me... What does'large-scale in vivo experiment' mean?"
Looking at him with his cold, killing eyes, Loren slightly trembled.
"It’s really the first time I know that people can also be poisoned to death like a rat in pieces. It can even be like the death of thousands of people and tens of thousands of people. It's not worth mentioning..."
"The first time I saw... a child who had difficulty breathing...so young...three or five years old...with her little black hands...forcibly tearing herself apart Throat..."
"Do you know what I was doing?"
"At that time...I was holding her...I took her in my arms and ran to the nearest clinic ...Until the blood sprayed on my face...I didn't realize it..."
Victor cried, his eyes were red with tears, but he didn't even notice it.
Loren didn't speak.
From the moment Victor tells the truth, he has no room to continue arguing.
"There were too many people involved in the events back then...wizard class, nobles, military forces...Although the purpose is not clear, I think that research that year has involved the interests of many people. It will be covered up so soon."
The royal justice shook his head: "You can't even imagine the scene of one day, one night, the whole street and the surrounding residents disappeared, becoming the Imperial Capital Guards. Legion’s new barracks... I was forced to close the case without even having a chance to be interrogated!"
"But I still remember that the main Chief-In-Charge of this project back then, Imperial Capital’s premier pharmaceutical Master , An alchemist..."
"Lysac Kovo!"
