Chapter 451

To the south of Golovin hill, at the foot of the mountain opposite the sky palace, lies an old fortress with mottled vicissitudes; Because of the age, the original white high wall has been dirty, like a black stain under the glory of the imperial capital.

Although old, the fortress is surrounded by towers, full of expressionless and heavily armed guards; The tightness of defense is not even under the sky palace.

The name of the fortress has long been forgotten. Now the nobles in the imperial capital call it a "black prison" - a prison specially used to hold serious criminals.

The black haired wizard, who had waited for an hour to get permission, was able to step into the rusty cast iron gate after filling the jailer with a bag of silver coins.

Nominally, Loren, an ordinary wizard, is certainly not qualified to come in; However, as the wizard adviser of his royal highness, the jailer who dared not offend the royal family and was greedy for money agreed to his request.

Behind the gate is a dark corridor; There are no doors and windows, only the torches on the end wall illuminate the corridor; On both sides of the corridor are extremely narrow square holes, with rusty iron fences.

The dark and yellowish fire, the cold and damp walls, the smell of corpses, the mice shuttling between the seepage of the floor... And the haggard arms stretched out from behind the fence.

But these are tolerable

Loren frowned. From the moment he stepped into the corridor, he felt an extremely obvious pressure, as if two awls were constantly stabbing into his brain from his ears.

This prison can suppress the connection between void and consciousness... Not to mention the use of magic spells, the black haired wizard found that he couldn't even meditate!

We can't delay any longer. We must leave this ghost place before the former chief justice arrives... The black haired wizard quickened his pace and walked towards the goal.

"... lusak kovo, a famous alchemist in the imperial capital, is proficient in pharmacy, medicine and ancient Rune literature, and is the next president of the pharmacist guild;

About two months ago, he was hired by the chann family as siscott chann's private doctor... Nominally to recuperate the late former chancellor of the exchequer, and was also responsible for all regular examinations;

At midnight last night, siscott chann, who went to the Royal wizard College for a banquet, suddenly felt unwell when he entered the hall, vomited blood and fell to the ground. He died a minute later;

Later, after investigation, it was found that Lord siscott did not die suddenly, but died of poisoning... And Lord siscott did not eat anything from the evening to midnight. The only thing he ate was the medicine prepared by master lusack to maintain his body;

After investigation, this medicine was also found to be an alchemy medicine containing strong void power, which was enough to kill an old man who had never been exposed to wizard knowledge;

Therefore, lusack kovo, a private doctor, was found to be a major suspect and was imprisoned in a black prison awaiting trial... "

After reading the last word on the scroll in his hand, the black haired wizard slowly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man sitting in front of him.

He was tied to the pillar, black and blue from head to foot. There was no difference between the solidified blood scab and the broken prison uniform full of blood.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, your excellency Lusaka kovo. In lower Loren Turin, your son seran kovo is my friend."

"I'm here to help you get rid of your crime."

The absent-minded middle-aged man tried his best to open his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth with difficulty:

"Exoneration?"

"Why, why exonerate me?"

Loren was stunned and frowned slightly: "didn't you hear me? I just said that I am also a wizard and a friend of your son..."

"I didn't ask you this." the scarred Lusaka hung his head and interrupted the black haired wizard with a low moan: "I'm asking you, why do you want to get rid of me... What do you want from me?"

"Well... Because you were obviously framed and used as a scapegoat..."

"Young man --!"

There was a breaking wind in Lusaka's throat, and his bloodshot eyes stared at the black haired wizard's face:

"Don't think... I'm as easy to cheat as my son; this is a black prison. How can ordinary wizards come here?!"

"And I know your name. You are the wizard adviser of his highness Brandon de sallion!"

"How could you, a royal confidant, come here to find me after all the trouble, just for a little prayer of a wizard apprentice?"

"Tell me, what are you for?"

The middle-aged man bound by the iron chain was like a wounded beast, staring wide at the black haired wizard.

The expressionless Lauren was silent for a long time, and a cool smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Worthy of being the leading alchemist of Golovin, he is not a small role that can be dismissed casually

"It's impolite, master lusack; you guessed right. I'm not here just to help you get rid of your sin." Loren sincerely bowed to the other party: "or, it should be said, this is just my purpose."

The dying middle-aged man leaned against the punishment column, but his eyes were very clear.

"You should have noticed that on the surface, the whole thing seems to be to trace the murderer of Lord siscott and give an account to the imperial nobles and his majesty; but in fact, the real purpose of the behind the scenes is to target the whole wizard class in gloven!"

The dark haired wizard who finally became serious said in a deep voice: "just last night, the garrison corps of the imperial capital rushed to the Royal wizard college in less than an hour - if master elbird wasn't there, I'm afraid half of the apprentices would have been imprisoned!"

"So whether you or the apprentices of the Royal wizard Academy... Are just the excuses of those people to deal with the whole wizard class."

"So... You must not have anything to do with this case, not even any wizard!"

With a sigh, Loren stood up: "what's more, I also believe that master lusack's reputation and dignity will never be the kind of patient who assists the murderer to poison himself for interests or anything."

"That's definitely not what a doctor who once refused the title of imperial doctor and was proud of witches would do!"

Loren deliberately spoke with awe inspiring righteousness and looked very sincerely at the dying middle-aged man: "even if you don't consider these and don't care about your personal dignity and honor, what about seram?"

"Do you really have the heart to see your son, lose the father he is proud of and relies on, and live in the eyes of others and be regarded as the blood relative of the murderer?"

Lusaka suddenly raised his head and coughed. The corners of his mouth were covered with blood foam.

"I tell you, master lusack..." Loren knelt directly in front of him and looked at each other:

"You can think I have ulterior motives. You can think I have ulterior motives. It doesn't matter."

"But! I will find out the truth of this matter, catch the real murderer behind the scenes, and return your innocence - so as to keep the safety of all wizards in the whole imperial capital!"

"In order to do this, I need you to tell me everything you know."

Lusack's eyes narrowed into a seam, pulled the iron chain on his body, looked at the black haired wizard powerlessly, and his expression was extremely complex.

"Do you really want to know the truth?"

Loren solemnly nodded: "for you, for seram, and for the Wizards in the imperial capital."

"Well, in that case, I'll tell you." the middle-aged man finally said:

"It was no one else who killed the former chancellor of the exchequer, siscott chann..."

"It's me!"

For a moment, the black haired wizard's expression froze.

Loren stared, his throat twitched and didn't know what to say: "master lusack, didn't I make it clear just now, what I want to know..."

"What you want to know is that there is another murderer - I'll tell you again, there is no so-called 'behind the scenes murderer', just me and siscott from beginning to end."

Lusaka kovo said coldly:

"It was me who watched him drink the bottle of alchemy that poisoned him!"
