Chapter 504
"Clang——! Clang——! Clang——! Clang——! Clang——!"
The sound of long halberd hitting the floor, in The council chamber reverberated for a long time.
Like a heavy blow hanging on the chest, everyone's breathing was stagnated, leaving only a deadly silence.
Standing on the witness stand, Serran Kovo was in a trance, with bloodshot eyes; beside his pale face were messy and hanging hair, exuding a breath of despair from head to toe.
The little priest with a heavy expression got up, bowed politely to the cabinet ministers on the steps, and walked slowly to Seran Kovo's side with a soft voice.
"Everyone present here, I believe you have heard... This is Selan Kovo, the only son and heir of Lussac Kovo, and a famous genius apprentice in the Imperial Family wizard Academy. , A son who cares very much about father’s safety."
"Selan, my problem." Little Prince Webber turned around and looked calmly towards the desolate wizard apprentice: "I heard Your father has asked you as his experimental assistant more than once to participate in his own experiment of developing new medicines, right?"
"Yes..."
The apprenticeship is difficult He opened his mouth, and his slightly trembling lips couldn't see a trace of blood; the black hair wizard between two tables could clearly see his diffusing pupils.
That is the performance of mental load reaching the limit, but still enduring hard.
"I...every father’s experiment, I have participated in it." Selan’s throat twitched, as if swallowing a poison that would corrode the internal organs. Every word was I was tearing away a scar on my body.
"Does it... include the period of being a private physician as Lord Siscott Charn?" The little priest continued to ask.
"Yes, yes..."
"I don’t know about alchemy, but I heard that every pharmacy Master will Re-adjust the formula of the medicine according to his condition, and even develop new medicines."
The little priest still keeps asking, although the tone is very gentle and polite; but everything that is said But the words are all in the key to the problem:
"Then this time...you have also assisted Lussac Kovo, your father developed a new potion for the late Lord Siscott Charn Is it?"
"I, I..." The apprentice gasped hard, his hands on the table showed blue veins, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead like rain, leaving it on the witness stand. The next water stain.
Loren slowly closed his eyes, and the ten fingers clasping the back of his hand trembled slightly, but not because of fear.
The church trial Magistrate on the stage also didn't speak, he just picked up his shoulders, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The Secretary of the Seal, Metternich Leopold, who vaguely guessed something, sighed, and still closed his eyes and rested; only the Secretary of Military Affairs seemed to have not given up on his curiosity about the black hair wizard, and he held his shoulder to look at it. Looking at him, as if expecting something.
The eyes of Victor Seuss on the throne flashed with an imperceptible tremor, and the wizard apprentice in front of him seemed to overlap with the silhouette of a certain memory.
The girl... who died tragically in her arms... used to have the same expression.
The little priest’s voice sounded again, but it no longer sounded as soft as before, and his resolute expression was unprecedented:
"This is the last question... Seran Kovo, Did your father Lussac Kovo know that the new potion is harmful..."
"Use it on Siscott Charn?!"
………………………………………………
Time goes back to a few days ago...
"Potion Master Guild Motion?"
In the dark and narrow room, the tranced wizard apprentice slowly lifts the head.
"Yes, that was a case more than ten years ago...on the surface, the Potion Master guild, which promoted medical treatment in the Imperial Capital slum area, was secretly using this to conduct large-scale medicine in private. Experiment to advance the progress of the research and development of the bottleneck."
In the shadows, the voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard: "The last incident was revealed, and the Potion Master’s guild was full of face, hundreds of The planned innocent people died tragically, and in some places there were no survivors on the entire street."
"But...but..." The curled up Seran collapsed to the ground like a stretched body: "This incident... What does it have to do with father?"
"It's a pity, Selan, I really regret it; because I didn't want to tell you about this."
The voice is soft With a light sigh, continue to open the mouth and said: "Your father, Lussac Covo..."
"It was the mastermind that started the discussion back then!"
The voice is like a sharp knife pierced into the chest, making the wizard apprentice froze in place as if frozen!
"No, this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Father, he would never do such a thing, how could he do such a terrifying thing?!"
"There must be someone trying to frame him! It must be! They don't want to take responsibility, so they put all the charges on the father, let him die, no longer need to be afraid of someone looking for them..."
"Selan——!!!"
While falling into the crazy wizard apprentice howling hysterically, a white hand suddenly grabbed his collar while the other hand grabbed it. He cut his hair and made those crazy and frightened eyes look at each other.
"You and I know that this is true...isn’t it?"
The terrified Seran Kovo had a dull face, panting hard; hot tears were not The controlled overflow from the eye sockets wet the right hand of the man.
"Lusac Kovo, he is your father...but at the same time, he is also a murderer who killed nearly a thousand people with his own hands; only by paying a price can he completely quell the tens of thousands in the Imperial Capital The anger of the civilians who are planning to the wizard class..."
The heavy but indifferent voice came into Selan’s ears quietly: "The only way is to make Master Lussac confess his guilt... by killing A person’s crime will pay him hundreds of times the price he should have paid."
"Of course, the prerequisite for this is that you must help me; in the name of the Holy Cross, I absolutely Will not let Lussac Kovo suffer injustice or be sentenced to death;"
"In the name of the Holy Cross, I will make this matter personal and acceptable to everyone. End!"
The trembling wizard apprentice raised his head, his lips still trembling slightly: "Really, can it be done?!"
"I don’t know, maybe it’s possible or not ……Perhaps hatred can really be forgotten and faded by time; maybe one day we can completely abandon each other’s prejudices, truly understand and tolerate each other."
"If this is really the Holy Cross Will, then I will complete it!"
………………………………………………………………
An indifferent voice echoed in Selan Kovo's ears, the apprentice wizard's throat twitched, and the hands holding the table no longer tremble.
"Yes..."
Simply a word, there was an uproar in the council hall!
"Clang——! Clang——! Clang——!"
The uniform percussion sounded again, which restored the silence of the hall.
The voice fell, but little priest Webber's face could not see the slightest excitement or excitement. There was only a certain sense of calmness, and there was no trace of sadness and joy on his numb face.
Anxious, hurried, quiet, polite...All the original emotions, at this moment, the little priest is only as a Holy Cross believer, the sacredness that cannot be expressed in words, only incomparable is left in his eyes Pious.
The black hair wizard finally closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth ironically.
It wasn't until this moment that he really saw everything he had experienced for a whole month.
The assistance of Serran Kovo...
The evidence that appeared in time...
The "black-frame glasses" met by chance...
The tragic death of the Potion Master Guild...
The little wizard separated from him...
Albert Tarot who betrayed himself inexplicably...
p>It turns out that this is the case... It turns out that the puzzle from start to finish is so simple!
I finally understood, and finally no longer confused
Victor Hughes' expression is still indifferent and cold, his eyes glanced aside:
"Loren ·Your Excellency Torino, don’t you have anything to ask the witnesses?"
The black hair wizard stood up gently, looking towards the little priest Weber who never dared to face him:
"No."
"I...have nothing to say."
