Chapter 166 Public Trial
Low in the sky, the fully loaded aerostat was returning at full speed towards Ashbone Academy in a low-speed mode.
Carly stood alone on the third deck of the airship, overlooking the towns, rivers and endless fields below.
The wind caused by the advancement of the aerospace boat blew some strands of her silver hair and the wizard robe behind her. This "aloof" image was in line with many new blood's fantasies about the mystery and power of wizards. At this time, many young people When the new blood passing by on the deck below saw Kali, they would always quietly cast their eyes at Kali with admiration and admiration.
"Time flies so fast!" Carly noticed the gazes of the new blood wizards. She couldn't help but think of herself who was ignorant at the time, but the current batch of little guys are definitely better than her original batch of new blood. Much luckier...
"Lady Carly, we estimate that we will be able to return to Ashbone Academy this afternoon, two days later than originally planned..." Following the sound of footsteps, the bearded captain walked to Carly's side.
"I understand. I will help you explain the delay to the college committee. Well... maybe I don't need to explain it." Carly looked at the captain who was a little worried at this time and chuckled.
"Yes!" Although the bearded captain was confused, he did not dare to ask Carly. He could only bury his doubts in his heart, and then left quietly, not daring to disturb Carly's thoughts.
"Attention all new bloods, we are about to arrive at Ashbone Academy. Please pack your belongings and then gather on the first deck..."
Not long after the captain reported to Carly, the captain's on-site announcement came from the many "sound transmission witch arrays" on the aerostat. This caused the new wizards to stop what they were doing and raise their heads, with a hint of expectation and yearning in their eyes.
"It's finally here." Many new wizards had expectations in their eyes, and even many wizard apprentices looked at Carly secretly, as if they had set a goal for themselves to move forward.
Carly looked at the slightly immature new wizards who were arranged in a square array at this time. She hesitated for a moment, and finally opened her mouth. The sound spread by her spiritual power was enough to make every wizard present feel new. Blood heard clearly.
"Future wizards who are about to embark on the path of wizards, welcome to the Academy of Ashbones."
"It's that adult..."
"The powerful wizard who stopped the explosion..."
Many new bloods noticed Carly and started whispering in a small area.
"Quiet!" Many of the second-level wizard apprentices responsible for the reception exuded their own mental pressure, making the new blood quiet down again. At the same time, they couldn't help but raise their heads and looked at Carly, some I was curious about what this legendary apprentice, who was recognized as the strongest third-level wizard apprentice within the academy and was even appointed as a committee member of the academy, would tell this group of new blood.
"Before you truly step into the path of wizards, I have a message for you."
"What is a wizard? This may be the first question you need to think about when you embark on the path of becoming a wizard. This is also the first question my mentor asked me about wizards after I entered the Academy of Ashes and became a disciple... "
Carly's voice was neither fast nor slow, but as she spoke, many new wizards gradually became quiet, listening intently to Carly's understanding of wizards. Even many wizard apprentices who maintained order, after listening Carly's words felt like they were touched.
"Wizards, in essence, are a group of scholars who use knowledge as a crowbar to manipulate the rules to gain power..." The airship had already begun to land, but on the deck, many new wizards were still thinking about it. Something Carly just told them.
"Okay, everyone can leave the aerostat in an orderly manner, but don't disperse later. We need to go to the Academy Square. There is something we need to witness later." Carly stopped talking and began to maintain the aerostat. order.
"Witness?" Many new blood wizards were confused, and those who knew some rules among wizards were even more confused at this time.
After all, they are just a group of low-level apprentices who have just entered the wizarding world. What things are there that they must witness?
…
The main color of the interior buildings of Ashes Academy is gray, which visually gives people a cold and gloomy feeling. In the academy square, a large number of new wizards were standing. On both sides of the square, there were some old apprentices who were attracted by the movements here, either taking the initiative to come up, or through some Use more covert means to spy.
"What on earth is going on?"
"I don't know..."
The silent and somewhat solemn atmosphere made this group of new blood feel a little uneasy. They could maintain the most basic calmness at first, but as time went by, they gradually developed local commotion.
"Quiet, stand still..." The wizard apprentices who escorted them back to the academy began to straighten the order, and in this noisy atmosphere, two figures suddenly appeared in front of the many new bloods. . Of course, it may be slightly inappropriate to say that there are two figures. After all, one of them looks a little embarrassed at this time, and even has a weak spirit. Only his eyes can move slightly, and he is so limp that he does not look like a living person.
"It's Dean Lucian! He... what he's holding is Lord Morgan!" Some old wizard apprentices couldn't help but exclaimed.
You know, although Wizard Morgan has a bad reputation in the circle of wizard apprentices, he is a real official wizard and a member of the academy. However, at this time, this extremely miserable scene appeared openly within the academy, which still made many wizards The apprentice was shocked.
"Kill him, Lord Lucian, kill him..." The eyes of some wizard apprentices burst out with hatred, but they did not dare to speak, or even look at Wizard Morgan who was still alive at this time. , for fear that Wizard Morgan would retaliate against them after getting out of this embarrassing environment.
"Welcome to the Academy of Ashes. I am the vice-president of the Academy of Ashes, Lucian Kevin." Lucian threw Wizard Morgan forward, letting the latter fall to the ground like a rag bag.
"I'm sorry that our first meeting was such an occasion, and I'm also sorry that due to some internal reasons, you were deliberately attacked by metal bombs on the way to the academy..."
As Lucian spoke, he picked up Wizard Morgan, who was struggling to stand up. "And I am here to give you an explanation."
"This is Frank Morgan, the former committee member of the college and the real culprit behind the aerostat explosion. His purpose is to retaliate against the new teaching system that the college has just begun to promote and to use extreme death methods to create and collect ghosts..."
Lucian's calm voice resounded in the ears of every new wizard. At the same time, he began to list Frank Morgan's actions one by one, making these new wizards gradually become somewhat confused and uneasy. Angry and scared.
"What exactly does he want to do?" Some official wizards who used witchcraft or other means to spy on Lucian's actions couldn't help but frown when they listened to Lucian's story.
In their view, Lucian's killing of Frank Morgan was just a matter of time. There was no need to say anything about it, and there was no need to say anything to these low-level wizard apprentices.
Is it possible that Lucian went through so much trouble at this time because he wanted to humiliate Frank Morgan before he died?
While these formal wizards were a little confused, Lucian looked at the many new wizards with a smile and spoke the last words of this trial.
"And his fate is now in the hands of you, you victims." Lucian looked at the new blood of wizards in front of him, "You 217 new blood of wizards involved in this incident will serve as the first-level wizard Frank... Morgan, the final judge of this former academy committee member, your next vote will determine his life or death..."
Quiet, the square that was originally noisy suddenly became quiet.
Many old apprentices who were watching almost had their eyes bulging out, feeling as if they were hallucinating.
After a short period of silence, there was a loud bang, and the whole square was like a pot exploding. It was difficult for every apprentice to restrain their desire to express what they wanted to say, and even many of them originally The wizard apprentices who were just peeping at the situation here quickly left their laboratories or residences and came to the square. Each apprentice's expression was uncontrollably shocked.
You know, official wizards are still official wizards no matter how miserable they are. They may fall because of their fights with each other, but no official wizard has ever died under the trial of an apprentice!
Moreover, they are still a group of ignorant newbies who have just embarked on the path of wizards and have not even systematically learned the meditation method!
It was as if a group of serfs actually sat in the chair of the noble tribunal and pushed the current king there to the guillotine.
This cannot be regarded as a treason, it can only be regarded as a reversal of Tiangang!
"Dean, I feel that this matter cannot be like this. Perhaps Morgan should be given the most basic dignity..." In Lucian's mind, there were several mental transmissions from other official wizards, but he did not Moved by this, he continued to preside over the trial of Wizard Morgan.
"I...I choose...forgiveness." The first new blood was pushed onto the trial platform in a panic. He looked at the Morgan wizard beside him in panic, and the fear of the mysterious and powerful wizard in his heart outweighed the anger. , in the end, he still didn’t dare to take the first step of trial.
"I... forgive."
"forgive……"
A new wizard came on stage, but the result was that Lucian frowned slightly.
Fortunately, when the 19th new blood came on stage, he first looked at Lucian, and then said firmly, "Master Dean, I choose trial!"
