Chapter 165 Trial
"Father, are our actions this time too rash..." Inside an ancient wizard castle, Wizard Morgan was lying comfortably on his chair, playing with two ancient stone beads from the Nanlin Kingdom in his hands.

These are said to be a pair of antiques dug out from the ground, and their history can even be traced back to the period of the Wizarding Empire.

Although they are not wizard tools or ancient wizard heritage, Wizard Morgan likes these historical artifacts very much and has collected a large number of them in his wizard castle.

"What are you afraid of?" Wizard Morgan sneered when he heard his son's question.

"So what if he is the vice-president of the Gray Bone Academy? Isn't he also a first-level wizard like me in the Gray Bone Academy? Hehehe... You should know that in the Gray Bone Academy, as long as a wizard is promoted to a first-level wizard, he needs to sign a supplementary agreement. This is not only to avoid unnecessary consumption between formal wizards, but also to allow formal wizards to work together to safeguard their own interests..."

When Wizard Morgan said this, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.

In his opinion, they were able to stand out from the many apprentices of the same period through layers of exploitation and suffering, and finally achieve success and be promoted to formal wizards. They should have been sitting high above the clouds, enjoying the "offerings" from the apprentices with peace of mind.

It was already a kind act for me not to attack those weak apprentices directly, use them as experimental materials or kill them directly.

However, in front of his own flesh and blood, Wizard Morgan did not directly express his true thoughts. He just smiled and vaguely compared the conflict between him and Lucian to "a small friction between formal wizards."

"Don't worry. There are quite a few conflicts among the official wizards, but everyone is relatively restrained. After all, no one wants to make things worse and add an enemy that they can't kill. Just like I don't like Lucian very much, but I haven't taken action against his students or direct subordinates."

Wizard Morgan said it casually, but behind the casualness, his confidence was revealed.

He was certain that Lucian had no way to deal with him, and he was even planning when to go find the airship and take down the soul-gathering bead that could absorb the wronged souls at the critical moment by hiding himself on the airship.

But soon, when Wizard Morgan was leisurely playing with the two stone beads in his hand, he suddenly felt a palpitation.

That is a keen intuition detected by the wizard's keen mental power, and the emergence of this intuition often means that something bad is about to happen.

Snapped--

Wizard Morgan shuddered all over and stood up in a panic. He even dropped the two stone balls he was playing with to the ground, and one of them was even thrown into cracks.

"Father?"

"It's okay...it's okay..." Wizard Morgan stood up in panic. He wanted to find the source of his fear, but perhaps it was because he had not fought against an opponent at the formal wizard level for too long, so his senses were a little dulled and his perception was even more vague.

Suddenly, two muffled thuds were heard, and two figures rushed into the castle. One of them, a burly wizard, even knocked a big hole in the wall on one side of the castle.

Wizard Morgan's heart skipped a beat, because he was horrified to find that when the two intruders came in, the magic arrays he had set up in his castle were not activated at all.

However, when he saw clearly the two figures that broke in, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Both of them are veteran and formal wizards. He had dealt with one of them before and they had a little friendship.

Although he didn't know why these two official wizards broke into his residence, in Wizard Morgan's opinion, at least these two official wizards should have little to do with Lucian.

"You..." Although Wizard Morgan was somewhat dissatisfied with the two wizards' rude behavior of breaking into his room, he still forced a smile at this time, wanting to use the methods he had used in dealing with other formal wizards to calm down this incident.

"Maybe... they will be able to reach a consensus with me on how to deal with Lucian's affairs. After all, that damn guy has occupied the assets of several wizards to train apprentices..." Wizard Morgan thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

But before he could finish his words, the two official wizards interrupted him. "Morgan, surrender. We are here on behalf of the committee to arrest you."

"Committee? Arrest?" Wizard Morgan was stunned, but then a hint of angry red appeared on his face. He waved his fists, his eyes showing great anger. "I am also a member of the academy. First of all, I will not acknowledge a meeting that I did not attend. Secondly, I, Frank Morgan, am a member of the academy. I have contributed to the academy, and I..."

However, the two official wizards were too lazy to waste time talking to Wizard Morgan. Instead, they used witchcraft to forcibly arrest Wizard Morgan.

"Hmph, idiot." In the dean's office, Lucian witnessed all of this with the help of his control over the Greybone Academy's defense magic circle center.

Seeing that Wizard Morgan, who usually acted arrogantly in front of the apprentices, was now easily trampled upon by two official wizards, Lucian could not help but snort with some contempt.

He felt that Wizard Morgan might have some wonderful misunderstanding about the special privileges enjoyed by official wizards.

Official wizards enjoy privileges, not because of their status as committee members, but because they have the power to say no. But official wizards like Morgan, who have long been emptied of power and enjoyment, can only bully apprentice wizards, and may not even be able to beat Carly.

However, this kind of useless official wizard can just be used as a tool for him to establish his authority in front of this group of new blood... Thinking of this, Lucian narrowed his eyes slightly.

……

"I declare that voting for the trial of former Commissioner Frank Morgan is now open."

In the committee meeting room, Lucian sat in the chairman's seat at the meeting, looking coldly at Wizard Morgan, whose mental power had been sealed but who still seemed fearless.

At this moment, Wizard Morgan was looking at Lucian with his hateful eyes, and his heart was filled with anger.

He felt that this was a deliberate humiliation by Lucian. Although this kind of vote would definitely not succeed, it would be a very embarrassing thing to stand on the trial stand.

"Wait for me when I get back..." Wizard Morgan closed his eyes gently, while he was thinking about which wizards he should win over to help him deal with Lucian.

"agreed, agreed."

"agree……"

But soon, Wizard Morgan lost his composure, because after Lucian announced the start of the voting, one by one the official wizards, or their magical pets, all voted in favor very quickly and decisively. Among them was even Wizard Ryan, who had once complained about Lucian with him in private!

Wizard Morgan opened his eyes in shock and anger. He didn't understand why Wizard Lien would change his stance, and why the official wizards who were originally wavering...

Wizard Morgan suddenly thought of something. He looked at Lucian, who was sitting on the podium, with some horror in his eyes, but what met his gaze were a pair of cold eyes that were as calm as a well.

His heart trembled, and he suddenly realized that he had become the first victim of Lucian's reform. At this time, those official wizards in the parliament who either abstained or agreed had their positions changed by Lucian through exchange of interests or other means.

Even the benefits may include the wealth that originally belonged to him...

Wizard Morgan felt a chill in his heart, and his legs even trembled slightly.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he would never have been the first to stand up against Lucian. After all, all he wanted was to keep his status as a formal wizard and his rights intact...

Wizard Morgan looked for help at the official wizards who had not yet voted. If he could speak now, he would even be willing to exchange all his accumulation with these official wizards to get them to vote against him.

After all, as long as more than one-third of the people opposed it, the resolution would be considered a failure! And he could save his life.

"agree!"

But the current situation made Wizard Morgan despair. The consent from the official wizards was like an invitation from hell, making him tremble slightly all over.

He finally looked at Lucian sitting on the podium with a pleading look. After all, as the host and vice president, Lucian's will could sometimes even overturn the outcome of an issue.

"Agree." Lucian tapped the small hammer in his hand lightly, and this light sound was like the final push towards Morgan Wizard, pushing Morgan Wizard, who was already on the edge of the cliff and shaky, directly into the bottomless abyss.

Lucian glanced at the Morgan wizard, whose face was as pale as lime, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If they just wanted to kill Morgan, they wouldn't have to go through such a big detour. For example, if Carly carried the wizard's notebook, they could kill Morgan as long as they were careful. If all else failed, they could just send Helen. As an independent individual, she could kill Morgan and completely bypass the restrictions on Lucian in the Graybone Academy contract.

However, Lucian still tried Wizard Morgan according to the procedure, and even took out the meditation method "Starry Sky" he got from the third-level wizard De La Torre as a bargaining chip to win over these formal wizards.

This is an advanced meditation method that is even better than the Gray Bone Meditation Method. It is absolutely attractive to formal wizards and even more attractive to these formal wizards than some other external resources.

After all, this might be their only hope of making progress, or even reaching the level of a second-level wizard!
Under the shining light of "Starry Sky", these official wizards soon revealed their already smooth bottom line to Lucian.

Of course, this was also related to Lucian's own strength. After finding that they could not gain benefits from Lucian through tough means, the attitudes of these official wizards changed very quickly.

As for betraying Wizard Morgan?

What does it matter? The life and death of Wizard Morgan has nothing to do with them!

"Very good, this matter is decided. Keep him in custody temporarily, and I will personally carry out the execution in two days." Lucian glanced coldly at the somewhat distraught wizard Morgan, and made the final conclusion on the matter.

"You...you can't do this!" Wizard Morgan finally came to his senses at this moment. He looked around in panic at the formal wizards whose expressions were either indifferent or sneering. Suddenly, he felt as if he had returned to his apprentice days. When facing these formal wizards, he became extremely pitiful and helpless.

"We...you..." Wizard Morgan's body was shaking at this time. He looked at several official wizards who had hated Lucian before. He wanted to say something, at least to expose those guys who stabbed him in the back.

But he no longer had the chance.

"How dare you disrespect the dean!" Wizard Lien grinned, but directly covered Wizard Morgan's mouth. Facing the dying Wizard Morgan, he was no longer polite to him as usual, but looked extremely ferocious.

"Hmm..." There was a hint of fear in Wizard Morgan's eyes.

He was trembling all over, and even between his legs became a little wet.

After becoming a formal wizard for nearly a hundred years, he has forgotten the fear of death. But now when this fear comes, he no longer has the courage to fight against it.

"Okay, I will be in charge of Morgan Wizard for the time being." Lucian dispersed some wizards surrounding Morgan Wizard, and then he silently looked down at the poor guy who was already thinking.

"Please... please... spare me this time..." Wizard Morgan was unable to speak at this time, but there was pleading in his eyes.

If he could charge once, he would definitely not go against Lucian again. Even if he could survive, he...

"The one you should be begging for forgiveness from is not me." Lucian noticed the pleading look in Wizard Morgan's eyes, but he showed no mercy.

After all, before the butcher's knife was raised to his neck, Wizard Morgan was bloodier and more brutal than anyone else. But now he was weak and begged, not because he wanted to repent, but because he was afraid. Under the powerful mask of his cold and bloody treatment of his apprentices, he was such a cowardly and useless poor soul.

"Kill...kill me!" Wizard Morgan seemed to understand something, and he tried hard to make a humming sound.
