Volume 1, The Wizard's World Chapter 69, The Tribunal
No matter how many cruel anecdotes Nancy knew about wizards, Ian could tell her with certainty that the truth was far worse; and no matter how reluctant she was to have her students join the field, Whittier Achilles was
It won't change her decision.
Ian took out a pass stamped with the seal of the Avon Town Autonomous Conference, proving that he indeed had permission from Whittier's father. In this way, Nancy could not stop Ian from taking him away.
"Principal, I took her away, but I did have permission from her father Aqil. You can write to ask. You don't have to look at me like this...Then we won't bother you." Ian saw that the old woman dared to
He was angry and dared not speak, but he didn't take it to heart. He said to Whittier, "Go pack your luggage and say goodbye to your friends."
Whittier hummed hard, then turned around and hugged the old woman, tilted her little face up and said, "Nancy, I will miss you."
The old woman stroked Whittier's fluffy hair lovingly and sighed.
"Lady Catherine, I will report today's incident to the police station." After Whittier went down, the old woman still said stubbornly.
It's the Judicial Tribunal... Ian thought speechlessly, but he would not remind the other party again: "As you like!"
After going downstairs, a group of people gathered around Whittier, and it seemed that they were all her friends. Seeing this, Ian did not come forward to disturb the other party to say goodbye, but waited in the atrium with Warren.
"Master, we found the place, do you want to go and have a look?" Warren, who had disappeared for a while, appeared out of nowhere and replied.
Ian had a headache when he heard Warren's answer. He originally thought of asking Warren to investigate because he thought the figure behind him was familiar, but he didn't expect that the other party was really here.
Suddenly, he remembered the identity of the other party, so he asked: "Hasn't he been discovered?"
"No." Valen nodded affirmatively. He deliberately controlled the distance, confident that he would not be discovered with his skills.
"That's good!" Ian felt relieved, but still felt uneasy, so he said, "Go and bring Whittier over and let's go."
"Aren't you going to take a look?" Warren asked in confusion. If he wasn't someone he knew, why would his young master ask him to follow him? Could it be that he was an enemy? He was suddenly startled, and hurriedly approached Hui without waiting for Ian's answer.
Till walked away, thinking of taking his young master away from here immediately.
What are you going to see and take the initiative to get into trouble? Although he doesn't understand that the other party will be here, it does not prevent him from leaving this place of right and wrong quickly, and Appleton also stays away as soon as possible.
Originally, he was thinking of finding a few more apprentices here, but now... let's forget about it.
After leaving Carshalton Garden Street, the three of them turned from Carshalton Garden Street to Parade Flower Street. Across the street, they could see from a distance that the huge construction work there was still going on. The main frame of the building was only half completed, and there was still a long way to go before it was officially completed.
Not for two or three years.
His next destination was a grocery store. The owner's only son was just seven years old, and he wanted to try his luck.
"What? Wizard?" The shop owner, also named Henry, exclaimed with a guarded face, and then pulled his son back who was stupidly moving forward. "You guys should give up, my son won't go with you."
Yes, stop harassing us and leave immediately, otherwise I will call the police."
Henry didn't know where he got the courage to openly yell at Ian. Warren was so angry that he wanted to chop down this disrespectful thing with his sword.
When did a pariah dare to speak like this to the noble Hyde family?
"Untouchable, shut up." Valen raised his hand and was about to slap him, but Ian stopped him. He looked at more and more people stopping around him, frowned and said to Valen: "
Let’s go!”
Warren glanced at Henry coldly, pushed aside the crowd and left with Ian.
"Go to the next one!" Roger gave himself a long list, so don't be afraid!
Half an hour later, Ian, who looked as usual, said to Warren: "Go to the next house."
An hour later, a stern-faced Ian said to Warren: "Go to the next one!"
Two hours later, Warren said to Ian who was silent: "Master, shall we go to the next house?"
Whittier stood aside holding the corner of his clothes, silently looking at the two masters and servants who were shriveled one after another, and couldn't help but worry about his choice. Was it too hasty?
Looking up, there was an orange sky, and night was about to fall. He shook his head and said, "Take her back first, and I'll go shopping alone." He didn't care about Warren's reaction and walked away.
After leaving Warren and the two, Ian walked around the street casually. At this point, the people on the street were in a hurry. They were all workers returning home from work. There were almost no children. They must have been locked up at home.
Curfew will be in half an hour, and very few people will be wandering on the streets at that time.
Ian couldn't understand what happened today. To be honest, why would someone not desire to master extraordinary power? Why would someone not desire eternal life? The attitude of these people is too bad. They have no respect for the wizard at all. I'm really not afraid of him.
Kill them casually?
"Do you really have to kidnap them one by one?" Thinking of the conversation with Roger yesterday, he was troubled.
Just when he was hesitating whether to engage in "kidnapping", a person suddenly appeared next to him, forcing him to give up the idea.
"Hi, Mr. Klimans, what a coincidence!" The person who suddenly appeared was none other than the sixth-level Rhythmist Rex Klimans, a senior awakener who we had met once before. Needless to say, it was definitely
It was the complaint filed by that old lady Nancy.
Rex, who was wearing a wide satin coat with red and blue arrow strips, said angrily with a headache: "What a coincidence, it turns out to be Master Hyde." He thought it was the wandering wizard who came to Appleton to cause trouble again, but he didn't expect it was Master Hyde.
Ian Hyde, the wizard of the Ann Monastery, is a noble son. Some time ago, someone from the Monastery specially registered him and Jasmine Phoenix in the Wizards Union, making them "one of their own". They didn't know what the Monastery was.
I mean, aren't these monastic orders least willing for their members to join the Wizards' Union?
(This is not important!) Kress suppressed the doubts in her heart. Today, the Judicial Inquisition received a report from the principal of the girls' school, saying that a young wizard named Hyde Catherine took away one of her students. She asked the Inquisition to investigate
This matter. When the tribunal heard that a strange wizard who was not on the record appeared in its jurisdiction, it was afraid that something big would happen, so it sent out manpower to look for it.
He also spent a lot of effort to find Ian. After the two met, he quickly understood Ian's intentions, so he said: "Master Hyde, how many tasks do you have this time? Ten?"
As a cooperative organization between the Wizards Alliance and the Pendragon family, the Judicial Inquisition has the power and strength to supervise the supernatural forces in the kingdom. It ensures that supernatural beings do not interfere with the secular order, supervises the movements of every wizard within its jurisdiction, and ensures that mortals
It is their responsibility to keep their lives uninterrupted.
The monastery will go to Appleton every few years to look for wizard apprentices. This is a routine, and the Inquisition is powerless to stop it. They can only cooperate with the police department to try to minimize the impact of such incidents. Anyway, the tramps who disappear every year,
There are many children who have been abducted, and most of them are treated accordingly.
"No, a few more." Ian smiled awkwardly. Thirty-five is only twenty more than ten. He was afraid of being beaten if he spoke out, so he decided to tell a white lie.
Rex didn't expect that Ian would trick him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a tone that sounded like an admonishment but also a reminder: "There are many rich people here in Carlos Parish. You can try, but it's best not to go to an only-child family.
An only child is a treasure, just like the Trevor family. We also spent some effort to prevent the couple from struggling. Although you can take them away by force, it will be very detrimental to your future search for apprentices. "
As if to enhance his persuasion, Rex continued: "You may not know that many wealthy families do not want their heirs to enter the monastery and are afraid that they will not be able to resist, so they simply board them from childhood to schools in big cities.
To the outside world, he lied about his death or simply concealed the news from the day his wife was pregnant. Places like Lepidwein are far away from the wilderness, and the monastery will not easily set foot in it, so it is very safe for them."
(Is that so?) The unusually obedient words and deeds of Archil and Henry without any reluctance flashed through Ian's mind, and doubts arose in his mind.
Then, he heard Rex ask: "Speaking of Trevor, how is that boy Alfo doing in the monastery? Is there a high chance of him awakening?" He also thought to himself, what if Alfo three or five years later?
If he still can't awaken, the Trevor family can pay some price to bring him back. After all, he is an only son.
"I have been outside these days and haven't seen him for a long time. I don't know the situation." Ian looked away and shook his head nonchalantly.
"Is that so? I'm just asking casually. By the way, the place to stay is the Church of the Scythe Bearer, right?" Seeing Ian nod, he had no intention of saying more, "Okay, that's it, I wish you all the best." Good luck to us.
There won't be so much trouble.
…
But for now, things are not going well for Ian. He has only found five talented apprentices, and there is still a long way to go before his goal of thirty-five.
Ian was eager to know what these parents were thinking, so he took advantage of the curfew and everyone stayed at home to go back to the grocery store and find the owner Henry. After an exchange in an unfriendly atmosphere, Ian got what he wanted.
Wanted answer.
This is a tough question.
Leby Devon, the county seat of Devon, has the only Wizarding Academy of the Wizarding Alliance in the county. Compared with only finding apprentices in several nearby towns, and only setting foot on the same land for the second time every few years.
The monastic order; the wizarding academy's style is much higher. Every two years, the other party will send seven teams of awakeners to thirty-four large towns and small cities in Devon County to search for apprentices.
This efficiency is much higher than that of the monastery, so every two years a large number of talented wizard apprentices will enter the wizard academy. This matter is considered semi-official, so the news spreads widely.
At first, those parents were still complacent, thinking that their family was finally going to have a noble wizard, and the surrounding neighbors also looked at him with envy.
But as time goes by, 90% of families have neither received news that their children have become wizards, nor have they seen them come back. The feeling of surprise gradually turns to worry, and the envious eyes of the neighbors also have a strange look.
Finally, at some unknown time, place, or from someone, news came out that the wizard trainee who had not made a breakthrough might have died, which made everyone panic. They went to the local lords or autonomous meetings to inquire about the information and asked them to come forward to clarify.
What he got in return was silence.
Some people also went to the Wizarding Academy to ask to take their children back, but were sternly rejected.
Many of these parents were rich and powerful, so the aftermath of the incident was mixed with some uncomfortable overtones. Henry was not sure what the final outcome would be, but since then, everyone who knew Appleton had unanimously agreed that -
-Wizard is a profession that has a high death rate among miners. You should never try it lightly. It has been marked as extremely dangerous.
Although it is not easy to survive in this world, the path of wizard is the next best choice.
