Vol 4 Chapter 54: Turning point (below)

Golovin hills, black prison.
The strong stench is like substance. The solitary candlelight barely illuminates the surrounding mottled but extremely solid walls, and even the face cannot be seen in the dim light.
At the end of the light, there was only darkness.
The black wizard sat quietly in front of the candlelight, waiting for an answer from the person opposite.
The imperial cabinet minister sitting under the lamp, the imperial judge, Victor Hughes, looked intently at the confession in his hand and the prescription of the medicine as material evidence.
Calm and keen eyes scanned the evidence line by line, occasionally lifting a quill in his hand to record something, and the sharp nib played lightly on the parchment.
He gently lowered his pen and looked seriously at the Brandon wizard.
"Sorry, Lord Loren Turin ... the evidence you provided does not prove anything." Victor said lightly: "Just a recipe list and testimony from Miss Lena de Salleone, it is not enough to make Lusak Kovo completely dismissed the relationship. "
"But it is enough to prove that even if it is really related to him, Master Lusak is definitely not intentional."
Loren smiled slightly and crossed his fingers: "Intentional and unintentional ... These two concepts are very different in the laws of the Empire!"
"I thought Justice Yuqian knew the difference between the two."
Hearing the black wizard's unabashed sarcasm and the smile on the corner of his mouth, Victor snorted only, revealing a cold smile.
"really?"
Victor's gaze swept over Loren's face, and he was also not ashamed: "You really have to tell me ... such an imperial pharmacy master, the most pathological physician and alchemist; in the face of an obvious The patient who died due to the side effects of the drug ... he! "
"... Actually innocent?"
"Isn't it possible?" The black wizard didn't change his face and shrugged slightly: "Does the expert never make mistakes, can there be mistakes or ... when forced by the patient?"
Justice Ruo Bingbing: "What on earth do you want to express?"
"What I want to say is ... what you have been worrying about is not who the murderer is, but what the consequences will be if Master Lusack is acquitted."
Loren looked at Victor intently, with a bland smile on his lips: "I can understand your approach very well, but please understand ... In my opinion, it is not just a matter of intentional or unintentional, even judged Lusak The evidence that the master and the case are involved is also very reluctant! "
"Master Lussack is the private physician of Lord Siscott. That ’s not wrong; Lord Siscott died because of the poisoning of the medicine. This is true; Is the master the culprit that killed Lord Siscott? Lord Victor Hughes ... "
"Don't you think this sentence is as ridiculous as‘ the killer is the dagger, not the assassin ’?

Loren raised his eyes slightly, saying in a near-sneering voice: "Since such a ridiculous verdict, then I use sufficient and strong evidence to prove that Master Lussack is at most a negligent murder ... what is it? wrong?"
"And I have every reason to believe that people like Lord Victor Hughes, the former ex-Judge, can definitely see how absurd this case is!"
"So why did he refuse to make a judgment? Why did Lord Victor Hughes, who has always been hailed as a" civilian school ", bother trying to embarrass a civilian-born alchemist and pharmacist?"
Victor slightly raised his eyebrows, his expression didn't change at all.
"Is it to maintain the stability of the empire's political situation ... Yes, if Siscott Zahn's death is defined as 'natural death', the Zahn family will never compromise, and even the conservative aristocracy will fight in the House; At that time, Master Victor will definitely take full responsibility and will be removed by His Majesty to quell public anger. "
"In order not to make the rare stability of the empire into a mess, in order to preserve the position of the Yuqian cabinet ... A guy with a little brain will feel that it does not matter if he sacrifices a" small "alchemist, right?"
"In front of the big picture, what is a wizard?" Loren looked calmly: "In front of his own interests, a pariah ... nothing!"
"Fortunately ... I have seen your resume. The Werner Wizard incident a few years ago. You also stood behind the poor wizard and tried your best to escape him ... until Archbishop Innocent personally came forward and used it forcibly. The religious penalty power sentenced Wegener to fire. "
"Victor Hughes, who dared to confront the Archbishop ... will never be afraid of a group of innocent and muddy Xiaoxiaos!"
"After all, it's only a few years, and Victor Hughes, who was not afraid of power ... how could it become a villain who will not sacrifice others for the sake of the overall situation?"
The dark wizard raised his mouth and said with a heavy voice: "So ... you can stick to the present, and even let a poor man who may be innocent go to hell, and there should be only one reason for his family life to die, right? ? "
Victor looked at him intently.
"If Master Lussac is released innocent, it will hurt the interests of the civilian class." Loren's expression is very subtle: "I don't know why, but ... this should be the only possible reason."
"So I'm really puzzled. A little alchemist would hurt the interests of the entire civilian class?" Loren stared at him thoughtfully, his forefinger's joints constantly pounding on the table: "Master Victor , Please tell me ... why is this? "
Victor remained silent for a long time.
Until he was sure that the dark wizard would not look away, he slowly spoke: "You ... really don't know why?"
"I hope I don't know, because I don't want to believe the answer I know ... is true." Loren's eyes were stern: "I don't want to believe that even the former justice who is known as 'justice' is like a fanatic. Wizards. "
Victor supported his arms on the table and gently moved forward: "Two years ago, the Royal Wizards College and the Pharmacist Guild of the Royal Capital had a motion in the House of Nobility, hoping to use the name of the Pharmacist Guild and the Empire to Medical aid is provided in the slums of Golovin. "
"Of course ... there are only the most basic cough drops and a few ordinary remedies that can purify the water-I still remember clearly now that they said at the time that the imperial slum area was used as a test field to promote basic treatment in the future. "Be prepared", and even prepare to spread this practice to the entire Sarkland, and even the entire empire. "
"I don't understand, isn't this good?" Loren frowned slightly. "It's true ... their approach may be to invite people's hearts or gain prestige, and change people's understanding of the wizards-but IMHO, if they I really did, and these should be. "
"That's right ... because I was on their side at the time, and I offended the church to support this motion."
Victor stared at him with chilling eyes, his tone getting heavier and heavier: "But you know ... those poor, grateful to the wizards who treated them, what did the wizards of Dade do?"
Loren's pupils shrank suddenly, and suddenly felt not very good.
"I don't know magic, and I don't know much about the many disciplines of your wizard." Victor's voice was quiet, but the black wizard could still hear the anger in his voice:
"Sir Loren Turin, you tell me ... what does" large-scale living experiment "mean?"
Looking at his cold, biting, almost murderous look, Loren shuddered slightly.
"I really knew for the first time that people could be poisoned to death like a mouse, and it would be worthless to mention the death of thousands of people ..."
"For the first time I saw ... a child who has difficulty breathing ... so small ... three or five years old ... with her little black hands ... she tears her throat ... ''
"Do you know what I was doing?"
"At that time ... I held her ... I took her in my arms and ran to the nearest clinic ... until blood spurted on my face ... I didn't show up ..."
Victor cried, his eyes red with tears, but he didn't even realize it.
Loren didn't speak.
From the moment when Victor told the truth, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com had no room to argue.
"There were too many people involved in the events at that time ... the wizarding class, the nobles, the military forces ... Although the purpose is unknown, I think that the research that already involved the interests of many people was only covered up so quickly. . "
Justice Yuqian shook his head: "You can't imagine that the whole street and the surrounding residents disappeared into a new barracks of the Imperial Capital Garrison in a day and night ... I had no chance to interrogate and I was forcibly closed! "
"But I still remember that the main person in charge of this project at that time was the master pharmacy master and alchemist expert in the Imperial Capital ..."
"Lusak Covo!" ...
