Chapter 503 (1/2)
”Mr. Eden Ellen, you are a loyal clerk of the pharmacist guild. Because you despise the use of new drugs to patients by lusack kovo without authorization and think that this move betrays the reputation of the pharmacist guild, you will take the initiative to testify. Am I right?”
”Not only is it disrespectful, he is simply insane!” the excited young man directly scolded: ”it is because he was sentenced to the pharmacist guild... No, it is a crazy act of betraying the whole pharmacist and even the wizard class that I stand up and uphold justice!”
”I see. You are really a noble wizard!” the black haired wizard suddenly realized, ”but maybe master Lusaka did it only for the sake of experiment?”
”It has nothing to do with experiments and even all research. It's a question of loyalty!” the young man waved his impassioned hand: ”loyalty is priceless. Any violation of this point is a shame cloth!”
”Really? Some people may think you're making a mountain out of a molehill,” continued Lauren, who didn't change his face.
”Then they should ask themselves whether they can stand the torture of morality!” the young man snorted coldly: ”I'm sorry... I admit that lusack kovo is a master of pharmacy, but this time it's a matter of principle and absolutely can't be compromised!”
”Even for wizards, we are first and foremost the subjects of the Empire; and for the subjects of the Empire, loyalty... Always comes first!”
After saying this, applause thundered in the parliament hall!
The young man on the witness stage flushed with excitement; Weber, the little priest on one side, stared at Lauren with a smile and felt something bad.
Victor Hughes looked on coldly without changing his face; Mettner, the seal minister who seemed to have noticed, showed a flash of smile on the corners of his mouth.
The other three cabinet ministers also looked different.
The applause subsided, and all eyes focused on Loren Turin.
”Mr. Eden Ellen, look what this is?”
A playful smile rippled on Lauren's face. His left hand took out a broken wand from his pocket: ”do you think... It looks familiar?”
In an instant, the little priest and the young man took a breath of air conditioning at the same time!
”I specially confirmed to wizard gray Sal that this is your own wand; dare you ask...”
The dark pupil stared at the panicked face of the young man, and the smile on Lauren's face became colder and colder: ”why did it break in two, and I found it in the corner of the local wall on the day when the pharmacist guild was slaughtered?”
”This, this, this is because, for...”
”Because you saw the mob that day, you didn't inform the guild leaders in the headquarters in time; after the incident, you were worried that you would be held accountable, so you broke your wand and threw it there, pretending to have an accident... I heard that you pretended to be seriously injured and lay down for a few days.”
Lauren snorted and threw the wand at the young man: ”the victim didn't survive that day. As the only survivor, you are lucky to stand here intact. Mr. Eden Ellen, who is loyal!”
”Objection!”
The little priest was obviously anxious, gasped and looked at the former Chief Justice: ”what Lord Loren said has nothing to do with the case itself!”
”Objection.”
The black haired wizard calmly interrupted him, turned to Victor Seuss with his hands behind his back: ”this matter is related to whether the witness himself is qualified as a witness, and his personal speech and testimony are seriously lack of credibility!”
”Not only that...”
With cold eyes, Loren looked fearlessly at the church judge sitting at the end of the steps. The other party's expression was the same as killing.
”Including the witnesses provided by the previous nine Holy Cross churches, I request the court to closely investigate the background and details of these people; the testimony they provide... Is likely to be forged, or obviously biased and suggestive.”
”This kind of groundless, partial and collusive testimony... Should not be enough as the basis for the trial of this case!”
As he spoke, Lauren did not forget to glance at the stunned little priest beside him.
There was silence in the parliament hall, and a pair of shocked or angry eyes shot at the black haired wizard's back.
Victor Hughes frowned, the church judge with angry eyes and alberd with indifferent expression were silent;
