Chapter 452

There was a dead silence in the cell.

"What's the problem?" the bruised Lusaka hung his head, and a broken wind like voice came from his chest.

The dark haired wizard forced himself to be calm, his fisted hands trembled slightly, and spoke with great difficulty:

"Why?"

He really couldn't find any reason why lusack would poison siscott, and he was unwilling to believe that this was the truth of the matter.

Even if the "murderer" personally told him the "truth"

"Are you... Forced?"

The dying lusack just shook his head wearily: "do you know that few descendants of the charn family can live to 60?"

Lauren looked up slightly, with a little more strange luster in her eyes.

If you remember correctly, Lord siscott chann is 76 years old this year!

"I got the invitation two months ago. At that time, they told me that I was just taking care of Lord siscott." lusack's eyes were dark and his voice was hoarse. "Master elbird also advised me that accepting this job would bring closer the relationship between wizards and nobles."

"For the kindness of master elbird and to make the family richer, I promised."

"But when I really saw Lord siscott, the situation was not like that." lusack was weak and desperate, as if he was shaking all over: "even on the contrary, he was terminally ill!"

"Relying on the huge financial resources of the chann family and various rare herbs and alchemy drugs, the old man managed to control his condition. It seems that he is no different from ordinary old people."

"But in fact, he can stay awake no more than six hours a day... In this case, they hope I can cure Lord siscott, or at least maintain the status quo."

Loren, who heard the speech, was slightly stunned, but finally remained silent, and his slit pupils were thoughtful.

"If you are a strong adult, perhaps I am still sure; but a terminally ill old man can't stand any risks and is reluctant to maintain the status quo."

Lusaka, with his dim eyes, suddenly looked up like a desperate beast: "until that night!"

"In order to attend the banquet of the Royal College of witches and wizards, siscott forced me to prepare a medicine that can 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, and then watched him drink the bottle of alchemy, praying that the Holy Cross could protect me for at least such a short night, but the result was..."

"I poisoned him myself!"

Lusack's eyes trembled and closed his heavy eyes with pain and reluctance.

Another moment of silence lasted nearly two minutes.

The dark haired wizard frowned slightly and whispered, "how many people know this?"

"No, I've always been a doctor for siscott in private." the drooping lusack shook his head sadly: "some people in the charn family may know the secret, but they will never say it."

Lauren raised her eyebrows, still thinking.

"Your Highness Brandon's wizard adviser, I know what you want to do... It's useless." Lusaka's desperate voice came:

"Yes, if you really have a heart, you may find one or two clues, but no noble in the imperial capital dares to provoke the chann family for me, an alchemist. You can only return in vain."

"The real reason why the chann family rarely lived past 60 years... That's a big secret. Once you try to uncover the truth, even if the idea is discovered..."

"You have to face an ancient family that has gone through thousands of years and pursue and kill endlessly!"

"So I advise you to give up."

With an extremely sad tone, Lusaka, leaning against the pillar, slowly closed his eyes.

Lorenze looked at his desperate expression and pursed his chapped lips:

"Master lusack kovo... But before I leave, I have one more thing to ask you."

"Please think it over before you tell me, what are you..."

"Do you want to live?"

The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and only the cries of mice could be heard in the smelly cell.

Lusack, who closed his eyes tightly, was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.

"That's enough, no more."

Clenching his teeth and looking cold, Loren burst out word by word: "the Chans, the old-fashioned aristocrats, the behind the scenes... They are not important."

"Whether you can live and whether the Wizards in the imperial capital can live with dignity is the most important!"

"I can assure you that by any means, you will never die here, let alone on the charge of killing siscott's murderer."

"I will do anything to let you go out of this cell and out of the door of the black prison!"

Lusack trembled and closed his eyes. The black haired wizard didn't continue to press questions and quietly waited for the other party's final reply.

He is the only one who really knows siscott's condition and physical condition, and may know the secret truth of the chann family; There will be no second except him.

Not only to save him, but also for the Royal wizard academy, Loren must get the real reason for "siscott's death" from lusack, so that the whole case can turn for the better.

The premise is... Whether he really wants to live or not.

For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The rest of his eyes glanced at the entrance of the prison, and a slight but very rapid footsteps came from the corridor, shortening the distance every minute.

There's no time!

A drop of cold sweat slipped from the black haired wizard's forehead and closed his mouth to hold his breath.

The trembling lusack had reached the edge of collapse. His pale face slowly raised his head, his eyes were like a dead man, and the corners of his mouth twitched constantly.

Footsteps are getting closer and faster; Loren's left hand pressed against the crossbow on his forearm in case of an accident.

"The 'curse' that caused the chann family to live over the age of 60 and killed siscott has rarely been seen in the past dynasties." lusack, who was trembling with his teeth, said in a low voice that could hardly be heard: "its real face is..."

"Dang --!"

The entrance door was forcibly opened, and a pale figure entered the cell, shrinking his neck and looking very frightened.

Lauren's eyes shrunk slightly... He was the jailer who let himself in, so

"I'm sorry to bother you two." the people who followed in with a gentle voice, but the polite tone was very cool in Loren's ears:

"Why did his highness Brandon's wizard adviser go to such a place?"

Under the complicated eyes of the dark haired wizard, the middle-aged man who walked into the door, Victor Seuss, the former chief justice known for his integrity, impartiality and ruthlessness, carried his hands on his back and didn't smile at the corners of his mouth:

"Could you please explain?"

Loren took a deep breath, and a formulaic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Lord Victor Hughes, I..."

Victor reached over and looked at him quietly: "Lord Loren Turin, if you dare to show this expression again, please don't blame me."

"Bribing prison guards and meeting repeat offenders in private... These two charges alone are enough to exile you to East Saxony and work as a labourer in a bottomless pit."

"I just came to meet seram's father as a friend. There's no other meaning." the black haired wizard restrained his smile and looked at Victor blandly:

"And... I don't think this case is as simple as it seems. Master lusack can never be the murderer of Lord siscott!"

"That's not something you can decide, your excellency Loren Turin - Your Majesty has entrusted the matter to the former cabinet. I will judge who is responsible."

"And I will make the most fair judgment based on evidence and facts."

The indifferent former chief justice frowned slightly: "only this time, Lord Loren Turin, I will pretend that you have not been here and will not inform the former cabinet and your majesty of this matter, but... There will never be another time."

"Don't forget, you represent more than yourself!"
