"Dang --! Dang --! Dang --! Dang --! Dang --!"

The sound of halberds beating on the floor echoed in the parliament hall for a long time.

It is like a heavy blow on the chest, which makes everyone's breath stagnate, leaving only silence.

Seram kovo, standing on the witness stage, was in a trance with bloodshot eyes; Beside the pale complexion were the disorderly drooping hair, emitting a breath of loss from head to foot.

The little priest with a heavy expression got up, bowed politely to the cabinet ministers on the steps, and slowly walked to seram kovo with a very soft voice.

"I'm sure you've heard all of you here... This is seram kovo, the only son and heir of Lusaka kovo, a famous gifted apprentice of the Royal wizard college, and a son who is extremely concerned about his father's safety."

"Seram, I have a problem." little priest Weber turned and calmly looked at the desolate wizard apprentice: "I heard that your father asked you to participate in his own experiment of developing new drugs as his experimental assistant more than once, right?"

"Yes..."

The apprentice opened his mouth hard, and his trembling lips could not see a trace of blood; Across the two tables, the dark haired wizard could see his dilating and contracting pupils.

That is the performance of mental load reaching its limit, but still struggling with patience.

"I... I've participated in every experiment of my father." seram's throat twitched, like swallowing poison enough to corrode the internal organs. Every word was tearing a scar on his body.

"Including... As a private physician for Lord siscott chann?" the little priest continued.

"Yes, yes..."

"I don't know anything about alchemy, but I've heard that every master of pharmacy will readjust the formula of medicine according to his condition, or even develop new medicine when facing new patients."

The little priest kept asking, although his tone was very gentle and polite; But every word is at the heart of the problem:

"So this time... Did you also assist Lusaka kovo, your father, in developing new potions for the late Lord siscott chann?"

"I, I..." the apprentice gasped hard. His hands on the table showed green tendons. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead like rain, leaving a water stain on the witness stage.

Loren slowly closed his eyes and clasped his fingers on the back of his hand, trembling slightly, but not because of fear.

The church judge on the stage also didn't speak. He just picked up his shoulder and showed an inexplicable smile at the corners of his mouth.

Metterne Leopold, the seal minister who vaguely guessed something, sighed and still closed his eyes; Only the Minister of military affairs seemed to have not given up his curiosity about the black haired wizard and looked at him with his shoulders as if he was expecting something.

Victor Seuss's eyes on the throne flashed an imperceptible tremor, and the wizard apprentice in front of him seemed to overlap with a figure in memory.

The girl... Who died miserably in her arms... Once had the same expression.

The little priest's voice sounded again, but it didn't sound as soft as before, and his decisive expression was unprecedented:

"This is the last question... Seram kovo, did your father lusack kovo ever know the harm of new drugs..."

"Use it on siscott chann?!"

…………………………………………………

Time goes back a few days ago

"The motion of the pharmacist guild?"

In the dark and narrow room, the trance wizard apprentice slowly raised his head.

"Yes, it was a case more than ten years ago... The pharmacist guild, which openly promoted medical treatment in the Dilu slum, secretly used it to conduct large-scale drug trials in private, so as to promote the research and development progress that was in a bottleneck."

In the shadow, the voice was so calm that it could not hear a trace of emotion: "the final event was exposed, the face of the pharmacist guild was lost, hundreds of innocent people died miserably, and even there was no survivor in the whole street in some places."

"But... But..." the curled up seram collapsed to the ground like force: "what does this... Have to do with his father?"

"Very sorry, seram, really very sorry; because I didn't want to tell you about it."

The voice sighed softly and continued, "your father, Lusaka kovo..."

"The mastermind of that motion!"

The cold voice was like a sharp knife stabbing into the chest, which made the wizard apprentice freeze in place like being frozen!

"No, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible! Father, he would never do such a thing. How could he do such a terrible thing?!"

"Someone must have framed him! It must be! They don't want to take responsibility, so they put all the charges on their father. If they let him die, they don't have to be afraid of someone looking for them..."

"Seram!!!!!"

While the crazy wizard apprentice howled hysterically, one white hand suddenly grabbed his collar, while the other hand grabbed his hair, making his crazy and frightened eyes look at him.

"You and I both know that this is true... Isn't it?"

The frightened seram kovo's face was dull and gasped hard; The hot tears overflowed uncontrollably from the eyes and wet the man's right hand.

"Lusack kovo, he is your father... But at the same time, he is also a murderer who killed nearly a thousand people himself; only by paying the price can he completely calm the anger of tens of thousands of civilians in the imperial capital against the wizard class..."

A heavy but indifferent voice came into seram's ear: "the only way is to let master lusack plead guilty... Use the crime of killing a person to repay the price he should have paid thousands of times."

"Of course, if you want to do this, you must help me; in the name of the Holy Cross, I will never let Lusaka kovo suffer injustice or be sentenced to death;"

"In the name of the Holy Cross, I will give this matter a decent and acceptable ending!"

The trembling wizard apprentice looked up and his lips were still trembling: "can you really do it?"

"I don't know. Maybe I can or can't... maybe hatred can really be forgotten and diluted by time; maybe one day we can completely abandon each other's prejudices and truly understand and tolerate each other."

"If this is the will of the Holy Cross, I will finish it!"

……………………………………………………………

The calm and indifferent voice echoed in seram kovo's ear. The wizard apprentice's throat twitched, and his hands holding the table no longer trembled.

"Yes..."

A simple word, there was an uproar in the parliament hall!

"Dang --! Dang --! Dang --!"

The neat and uniform percussion sounded again, restoring the silence of the hall.

The voice fell, but little priest Weber could not see any excitement and excitement on his face. There was only some kind of lost calm, and there was no sadness or joy on his numb face.

Anxious, hasty, quiet, courteous... All the original emotions, the little priest at the moment is only a believer of the Holy Cross, which can not be expressed in words. There is only unparalleled piety in his eyes.

The dark haired wizard finally closed his eyes and ironically reminded the corners of his mouth.

Until this moment, he really saw what he had experienced in the whole month.

Seram kovo's assistance

Timely evidence

"Black frame glasses" met by chance

Dead pharmacist guild

The little wizard separated from himself

Elbert Tarot, who betrayed himself inexplicably

That's what happened... The mystery that I couldn't solve from beginning to end is so simple!

I finally understood it and was no longer confused

Victor Seuss's expression was still indifferent and cold, and his eyes glanced aside:

"Lord Loren Turin, don't you have anything you want to ask the witness?"

The dark haired wizard gently got up and looked at the little priest Weber who never dared to face him:

"No."

"I... have nothing to say."
