The magician in the city

Chapter 423 Trial (1)

Chapter 420 Trial

Roach stood in an open room, and the long tables arranged in a fan shape were the main facilities in this hall.This fan is centered on Roach, and there is also a small table in front of Roach, like a podium table in a conference room, reaching waist height.Roach looked around and felt that this layout was like being in a slingshot of his own. He was a small stone in the slingshot and was about to be catapulted away.

His hands were stuffed into his trouser pockets, facing forward.All the table tops were made of marble, reflecting cool light from hundreds of floating lights, but they could only clearly illuminate the faces of the few people sitting behind the fan-shaped table tops.There were at least dozens of people sitting behind the fan-shaped tabletop, but the lights did not reach them. They were dressed in black robes and sat quietly in the darkness.Roach looked around at them, thinking sarcastically that it was as if they had come to his funeral.According to the ancient tradition, he is called living out of mourning, and it can be regarded as the best form of transshipment, which is super happy.

"School student Luo Qi." Liu Li yelled at him majestically, calling his attention back.She was already sitting at the farthest end of the fan-shaped tabletop, which was in the middle, and her voice and posture indicated that the interrogation had officially begun. "We will be questioning you on behalf of the committee."

Roach couldn't figure out if this was an interrogation or a trial, this formation was more like a trial.In any case, he became serious and calmly watched the faces below.Including those who sat in the dark and whose faces he couldn't see clearly, they were probably the darlings of the mage world, and they were people he both envied and somewhat feared in the past.But now...he couldn't tell how he felt, he was no longer envious, nor did he have the strong jealousy and vengeance that he felt after a comeback.He was just very calm, everyone was passers-by, and he never looked at them again.

He nodded, bowed his head and saluted, then raised his head and looked down calmly, "The committee."

"Please state everything that happened between leaving school and our arrival." Liu Li ordered.

"Is everything in detail?" Roach glanced at the main members of the investigation team behind the fan-shaped table again. According to Qionglin's habit, there were still nine people sitting behind the table.Three female mages, six male mages, including Liu Li, Peng Xiaopeng, and the female battle mage.

"Please briefly describe yourself first, and then we will ask you." Liu Li explained.

"Okay," Roach said, "may I have a glass of water?"

His words and deeds triggered a slight whisper in the hall, and Roach smiled slightly, "I want to remind all the archmages that I can feel your emotions at this moment. For the sake of Qionglin's fair principles, I ask you to work hard to restrain yourself, don't interfere with me."

There was quite an embarrassing emotion in the crowd. Almost all of them were archmages, and a certain percentage of them were over a hundred years old. Roach's words were equivalent to accusing them of not wearing any clothes.This also reminded them in disguise that they are not qualified to examine mages like Roach at all.

Liu Li's stern expression remained unchanged, she nodded in a matter-of-fact manner, and then used Qionglin's standard administrative language to remind the sitting mages to restrain themselves and show a professional attitude.By the way, Roach was given a glass of water.

Luo Qi thanked him and took a sip from his water glass.Everyone could only watch him take a sip of water slowly, and then put down the glass slowly.

"At the end of last semester, Du Zhengyi and I were summoned to Teacher Liu Li's office, where we got a social research task. The topic of the research was "Analysis of the Authenticity of the Human Race Based on the Supernatural Occurrence Eyewitness Reports" ", according to the research needs, we went to the human society and contacted a human being who provided a supernatural sighting report on the Internet, her name is Guan Xinyue."

No one asked questions, so Roach continued. "I found a human corpse in the village where Guan Xinyue witnessed a supernatural phenomenon. Mage Li Xu, who was also investigating here, and his direct subordinate Zhao Zhiyan, acted on the principle of being the most suspicious when they first discovered a person. Based on the principle of low energy, I was forcibly taken back to Qionglin underground for interrogation. The real identities of Li Xu and Zhao Zhiyan have been confirmed later... Master Liu Li, can I mention this part?"

Liu Li nodded solemnly.

"Well, Li Xu and Zhao Zhiyan are now known members of the Lotus Burner." Roach heard the crowd sitting in the shadow behind gasp in amazement, he raised his voice and continued, "Maybe Li Xu and Zhao Zhiyan are planning to follow the My own beliefs, kill me, who is disabled as a mage, and sacrifice to heaven."

Some gasping voices in the crowd were very angry, and Roach regretted that he had attacked them.He continued, "The two of them, like everyone sitting here today, mistakenly think that I have some mysterious ability, or think that I am important. This is probably because I am in the company of giants, so I gave it to all of you. This kind of illusion. If there is a huge shadow behind me, the body of the shadow is also Du Zhengyi or Pei Shu, not me. I am just a student, and I haven't even finished reading. No matter what I look like I did , I just want a little credit so that I can be promoted to the fourth grade."

He looked at Liu Li, and many mages followed his gaze and turned to Liu Li.The impartial and strict Archmage Liu Li thought for a while, and finally nodded, admitting his statement.At least up to this point, Roach hasn't lied a word.

He stood alone in the middle, the floating lamps cast light on his body, his eyes sparkled, and his soft short black hair reflected light slightly, as if there was an angel's halo on top of his head.He was so small, shorter than most mages, with a soft and cute face, innocent and innocent, and even looked a little lonely.He looked very convincing, and there were at least a third of the female mages in the audience, generally very old, and most of them almost forgave him for his fucking behavior earlier in the day.Isn't it normal if a boy messes up?Who could really get angry with him over such a trivial matter?

"I heard that many children have released their abilities in the face of great pressure." Roach said sincerely, "I am the same, but the average mage completes this when they are about 15 years old. I don't know why I appear It's so late, maybe it's because of my special luck. Li Xu tortured me and wanted to kill me, I fought back against him unconsciously. If they didn't waterboard me, didn't shock me, didn't let me If I lost my mind, I would never hurt them like that. But I did, I defeated them and escaped from Qionglin, and I will not deny it."

I was an honest kid - Roach put on his most honest face.He was a particularly honest boy, and he himself believed it for the time being.
