The moon is like a hook.

In the summer twilight courtyard, there were only two people in the empty room: Loren and Isaac; The moonlight of early spring through the window, covering every corner with soft silver yarn; Floating dust loomed in the light.

"Is it tomorrow?" Isaac, sitting by the window watching the moon, suddenly opened his mouth and looked thoughtful.

"HMM." the black haired wizard nodded absently.

The little wizard and Weber have left. It is said that they went to master lusack's laboratory at the Royal wizard college, hoping to find some clues.

Although seram kovo's spirit is still very confused, as long as it involves his father, he will become very sober, even beyond their expectations. He can even remember the last time master lusack entered the laboratory.

Loren did not hold much hope for the enthusiasm of the little wizard; Maybe lusack's laboratory really has some important information, but in the face of a group of angry ordinary people who know nothing about magic, it is difficult to provide any evidence.

As for whether we can find evidence of master lusack's regret for his actions... It can only be said that nothing is better than nothing.

It's a surprise that little priest Weber is so enthusiastic... Loren might understand at first, but now the Wizards in the imperial capital are almost completely hostile to the church, and he still spared no effort to help himself

It seems that we can't use the word "friendship" to describe our relationship with him.

Although when he was at vimpal college, the little priest was always very enthusiastic and even risked his life to help him find evidence. He also worked as a trainee priest under the "alchemist Draco" who pretended to be a priest for a long time.

I really don't know whether he is really pious to the extreme or simply warm-hearted.

"Are you sure... I mean, this time is different from before. When you are in the Dragon King City, you are the most unlucky. This time may involve a lot of people."

"I'm not saying I really care about those potatoes with water in their heads... But it has nothing to do with them."

As he glanced at his impatient expression, the stunned Loren chuckled.

It's not the first time, but... Isaac's way of caring about people is really awkward to the extreme

"Don't worry, this is a royal trial, and there are limits on the number of defenders and witnesses on both sides, which is very beneficial to us." ten fingers crossed in his chest, and the black haired wizard slightly raised his mouth:

"We have the recipe as evidence. As long as Miss Lina de sarion is willing to testify... At least, we can prove that master lusack did not commit the murder intentionally."

"Then?"

"Then, as long as we can get this step, there will be enough room for slow rotation... As long as we prove that lusack did not kill deliberately, all kinds of slanders against him will be easily solved."

"Although Lord Victor Seuss can't favor us... At least he won't deliberately make trouble."

With a somewhat provocative tone, Loren's expression was extremely dignified: "physical evidence or second, the testimony of Miss Lina de saleon is the most critical link - she is a subsidiary of the de saleon family. Neither Victor nor the church dare to easily deny his testimony."

"So... Now we can only hope that she will keep her promise."

It's really the first time for a dark haired wizard to place all his hopes on a person he doesn't fully understand.

If he didn't have no choice, Loren would rather not take care of this matter... The whole case has become no longer simple since Victor told him the "secret", which has long been beyond his ability.

Why did you persist until now?

Obviously, even the Royal wizard academy and master elbird have given up, and even Lusaka has no hope of "living"; But I still try my best to let them stand behind me and bet all the chips in this last fight

Just for a promise, hoping to attract the Turin family of red blood castle and the Royal wizard academy to Brandon's banner at the same time?

If it's just for these two points, I have some methods, so I don't have to worry about it at all. When the trial is over, there are a desperate Countess and an equally desperate Royal wizard college. Wouldn't it be more convenient to find a way to attract them then?

Lauren sighed softly, with a self deprecating expression.

I... just won't admit defeat.

"Lena de sallion?"

Isaac suddenly raised his eyebrows: "do you really believe this Banshee... That she won't betray you?"

"Probably." the black haired wizard nodded slightly, and his eyes hesitated: "everything he can do has been done, and there is no possibility that she will betray..."

Absentmindedly answered, and his hands crossed in front of his chest kept beating his knuckles.

"So... You're not sure?" Isaac tilted his head.

Loren sighed and didn't answer him.

Isaac seemed to think for a second, got up and turned around and walked out the door.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing else, I thought of a way to make her never betray you... Of course, more accurately, to make this witch never betray me."

"Alas? What do you mean?"

"The method is very simple." Isaac naturally patted his chest: "with my unparalleled wisdom and masculinity, completely conquer the Witch and give up on me!"

"... you want to... Seduce her?"

"Don't think too much... Although I've always had no good feelings for creatures like women, if it's for my best friend, Ben doesn't mind spending time in the flowers, and then... Betray his chastity a little!"

"Of course, selling is my bottom line, and my noble soul will certainly remain pure... As for the female goblin who is completely convinced by my charm, it is not necessarily; one night may be short, I will try my best to make her want to be immortal and die, and then keep awake before the formal trial tomorrow, so as not to be full of nonsense as soon as I come on stage."

“……”

"Why, do you have a better way?"

"No... I was just thinking that she might disagree..."

"Well... Indeed..." Isaac thought for a second, and then suddenly he smiled: "it's impossible! She can get the favor of Ben's genius, but she has been convinced for ten years, and it's too late for her to be happy!"

"But..."

"Nothing but!"

Impatient Isaac directly waved and interrupted the black haired Wizard: "just wait for me to clean up the clothes of the female goblin and give me any request - don't mention testifying. It won't be a problem to let her die in the pre imperial trial. That's it!"

Isaac, with his chest up, opened the door and strutted out of the room.

“……”

Sighed, the dark haired wizard looked at the sky palace in the distance.

A faint dark shadow floated through the room, and there was a petite figure on Isaac's empty chair, cocking his legs and looking complacent.

Loren tilted his head and looked at his youth sitting there. The smiling corners of his mouth and scarlet pupils always make people have a bad idea:

"I thought someone should knock first."

"Well... If they weren't in this room before," Asriel smiled politely, without concealing his eavesdropping behavior. A trace of cunning flashed across the young but handsome face:

"But now dear Loren is really dangerous... Do you think that Mr. Isaac Grantham can succeed?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Yes, but if dear Loren loses miserably tomorrow, it has something to do with Asriel." Asriel's expression becomes more and more charming, and the pale corners of his mouth show the little tiger teeth under his lips:

"At that time, you will lose your foothold in the imperial capital and even in the whole saklan empire; what awaits you is a long period of exile... 20 years, maybe 30 years. Asriel is really worried about you..."

"So what?"

"Dear Loren, we have an agreement."

The scarlet blood pupil flickered under the night sky, and Asriel's voice was soft and low, with a faint temptation: "but this time... Asriel doesn't need you to pay any price..."

"I will help you and gain unprecedented power... No one can put their will above you and me..."
