It was an ordinary-looking scroll, which seemed unremarkable in front of countless onlookers and representatives from various countries. However, under Ming Yue Qingfeng's words and the deliberately created atmosphere, everyone's eyes instantly turned to the person who was gradually speaking. On the body of the old magician: "...it is the magic scroll of the Council of Mages."
"As expected of the leader of the Mage Council, his eyesight is different." Nodding with satisfaction, Mingyue Qingfeng grinned like a living devil: "There is a magic mark unique to the Mage Council on it. As long as it is affiliated with the Mage Council, A magician can definitely be recognized immediately, but the problem is——"
"What exactly is recorded here?"
As if standing in the middle of the stage and starting a grand performance, Mingyue Qingfeng, who was enjoying the baptism of eyes, raised his hands and gestured left and right for a long time, and then tore open the cover of the scroll in full view of everyone: "Let us live there Take a look...Tsk, tsk, tsk, the identification results: Levo's Dust, Spring Wind Grass, Dumonmass Root, Enhanced Magical Essence - even if I know little about alchemy, I can still see some clues. Woolen cloth."
"Is this...a report of a magic appraisal?" As if he heard something different from the other party's words, Ferriston's eyes behind his thick lenses raised a little again: "Since it bears the seal of the Council of Mages, , then of course it is the magic appraisal report issued by the Council of Mages, why is it in your hands?"
"Of course it is through some kind of secret channel - everyone knows more or less about our relationship with the Mages Council. Both sides have been racking their brains to intercept each other's information in order to defeat each other. We intercepted such things. It's not an accident." Mingyue Qingfeng continued with a proud look on her face: "The key lies in the meaning of this thing - do you know what the report is based on?"
"Speaking."
As if he had already guessed the answer, the livid-faced Pamir echoed in a low voice. Everyone's suspicious eyes then stayed on Fernando Wiggins for a long time, and then gradually moved to Mingyue Qingfeng who spoke again. On the body: "The answer is obvious: this is the appraisal report on that case. After the tragedy occurred on the night of March 7, the Council of Mages collected a large number of samples of magic remnants from the scene, and finally came up with an appraisal report."
"The Magic Empire has never participated in your joint case investigation before, and I don't know how many magical appraisal conclusions you have obtained from the Mages Council." Speaking of this, the bright moon and breeze raised the parchment page in his hand, letting it follow The cold wind made a unique rustling sound when the page vibrated: "But you seem to have no idea about this conclusion. I guess-"
"It was our great Speaker Wiggins who concealed this report, right?"
Ming Yue Qingfeng, who gently rolled up the scroll with his hands and put away his smile, asked in a low voice. The old magician who became the target of public criticism then sat there without moving, as if he was planning to use silence. In response to the thousands of lights of attention coming from all around: "..."
"Dear Madam Whispering."
Instead of waiting for Wiggins's response, Ferriston, who was in charge of presiding over the trial, turned his gaze to his left front: "Since our chief magician is unwilling to speak, I can only ask you, the semi-professional who has previously proposed the method of alchemy. Professional: What do the ingredients mentioned in the magic appraisal report mean?"
"Well, I don't know about that either." Xu Yu Liushang shook his head expressionlessly: "But looking at the proud and smug look on the man over there, he must have been eager to tell us the conclusion."
"Conclusion? Do you need me to repeat the conclusion?" Mingyue Qingfeng couldn't help laughing again: "The conclusion is exactly what I said before! It's a drug used to boost fun! This kind of medicine is not good at all. We need explanations and clarifications! If you go to the black market and buy them, you can find a lot of them!"
"The reason you haven't found this clue is because the Council of Mages has been deliberately concealing this report!" The almost maniacal laughter suddenly stopped, and Ming Yueqingfeng, who took a deep breath, shook the black cloak behind him and looked down with high spirits. Wiggins stretched out his hand and said, "In order to give
Prince Chris reduced his culpability and even exonerated him! "
"His Royal Highness Prince Chris."
Amid the uproar and discussions that rang out again, Feriston, who had not turned his head, took the lead in casting his gaze on Chris in the center of the square: "Do you admit this report?"
"I, I don't admit it!" His Royal Highness, who was guarded by Ningyu Ninglan, hurriedly raised his head, but his pale face and hoarse voice didn't look convincing at all: "That, that's not mine! That's not mine!" Everything is slander! It’s a frame-up!"
"Oh, dear Prince Chris, I understand how you feel at this moment." The bright moon and breeze floating above his head cast a pity look at him: "As a former imperial prince, this kind of The plot is really shameful. If your father knew about it... no, if everyone in the world knew about it, you might not be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life, but -"
"Whether you have such a potion on your body, you should know best in your heart." Speaking of this, Ming Yue Qingfeng's eyes showed a see-through vision: "If you want to hate, then hate these people present. If they hadn't been If you want to turn the finger on our Magic Empire, we will not produce this evidence out of self-protection and make the facts you concealed known to the world again, hahahahaha!"
"Don't laugh too quickly, Mr. Messenger sent by the Magic Empire."
The buzzing discussion and Mingyue Qingfeng's laughter were interrupted by an elegant voice coming from the edge of the square below. The black veil belonging to Princess Reina also wandered in the air with her floating gaze: "After all, you You suddenly appeared and wanted to surrender when we were testifying against you. Naturally, the evidence you presented also needs to be questioned by us, right?"
"Your Highness, the Princess, still has doubts about the authenticity of the report in my hand?" Mingyue Qingfeng, who stopped laughing, raised her hand holding the parchment scroll again: "This is the Council of Mages who has been personally confirmed by Wiggins. Engraving, our Magic Empire cannot make such a thing."
"But I see that you opened the seal very easily just now, and read out the contents very confidently as if you already knew the contents." Princess Reina held half of her cheeks. Curiously, he continued to ask: "Based on my limited knowledge of magic, the scroll with the seal of the Council of Mages is not that simple to open, but you did it easily in front of us just now... What's going on? thing?"
"...That's just for ordinary people like you who have no strength." The voice was obviously choked, and a faint breath of blood began to rise on the left hand that Mingyue Qingfeng raised again: "For me, this level The seal is as simple as a child's toy, and I can guarantee that I did not know the contents of this report in advance." "But you couldn't wait to destroy the seal, right in front of us, right?" The other party's words were interrupted by a loud voice, and Princess Rena's tactful voice seemed to have a hint of smile: "That is to say, there is no proof, tsk tsk tsk... In this case, is that seal the mark of the Council of Mages? , it’s impossible to find out now.”
"I didn't expect that Your Highness, the sage princess, would actually use such a clumsy way to question the authenticity of this report. It's really unimaginable." Ming Yue Qingfeng looked in the direction of Wiggins with a look of displeasure. Pointed: "Isn't it enough to have the endorsement of Speaker Wiggins? Everyone present should have seen the scene just now."
"Okay, let's change the angle." Princess Reina shook her head and continued to ask: "Since you claim that the report in your hand is true, you are also saying that the ingredients of the alchemical potion that appeared at the scene on the night of the crime have been Sure, but——"
"The metal fragment that Ms. Mengzhu just presented, some of the ingredients of the medicine have just been identified on it." Princess Reina turned her eyes to the girl wearing a cloak who did not say a word from beginning to end: "And according to the There seems to be a huge difference between the results revealed by Lord Wiggins just now, the conclusion of the on-site identification this time and the conclusion of the report you just provided."
"This is not simple." Faced with Princess Reina's doubts, Mingyue Qingfeng
He snorted coldly and replied: "The leader of the Mages Council is lying."
"Oh? In other words, you think that after he just cast the 'Eye of Truth' on the spot, he told a few lies to confuse our hearing." Princess Reina's eyes moved from diagonally upward to Felicton's. On the body: "Mr. Freestone, who do you think is lying?"
"...Based on the existing information and evidence, this matter is really difficult to judge." Feriston shook his head cautiously: "I believe that all of you here will not be confused by the existing rhetoric. It’s better to draw conclusions easily.”
"Hehe, hehehe." Then the smile in Princess Reina's voice became even brighter: "Then let's say hello from another angle - Mr. Mingyue Qingfeng."
"..."
As if he noticed something unusual, Ming Yue Qingfeng, who was floating in the air, no longer showed the proud and confident expression as before. He first subconsciously looked around at the situation around him, and then met Reina's eyes again: "Your Highness, Princess, do you have any questions?"
"Can you explain a little bit, where did you get this report?"
"...How could we say such a thing?"
Pulling the corner of his mouth, Mingyue Qingfeng reached out to the magicians behind him and said: "In order to protect my comrades, we must conceal his identity. Naturally, we will not know how to send this report. I can tell you easily...and this matter is not important to you, right? No matter who sends this report, it will not affect its authenticity, right?"
"It seems that our lovely envoys of the Magic Empire are still kept in the dark." Princess Reina smiled softly: "Okay, seeing as how hard you have worked so hard, I will give you a little heads up. Okay, everyone: Regardless of whether this report is true or false, since you showed up with it and made accusations, the underlying meaning is: there was indeed an alchemical potion of unknown ingredients present at the scene on the night of the crime, right?"
"..."
Because she couldn't find where the abnormality in her heart was for a while, Ming Yue Qingfeng, whose pupils kept shaking, also became hesitant in her words: "What do you mean?"
"I'm done with my questions."
Suddenly stopping her questioning, Princess Reina turned her laughter and everyone's attention to the other side of the venue: "Ms. Whispering, it's your turn."
"I remember that at the beginning, Mr. Mingyue Qingfeng once mentioned one thing: Your colleagues were right across from Room 512 at the scene, so they saw the realities that you just tried so hard to prove, right? ” He seamlessly took over Princess Reina’s words, and her face was also filled with an unknown smile as she murmured: “Can you explain this in detail to our chief examiner?”
"We won't ask about the identity and clues of that colleague. We will only ask about things related to the case." Feriston raised his head: "Why did your colleague show up on the night of the crime?" In room 513, what is he doing there?"
"I can't tell you this." Mingyue Qingfeng's face turned slightly green: "This has nothing to do with the case."
"It's okay if you don't say anything, but the strength of your testimony just now will be affected by this." The whispers on the side said with a smile: "I am reminding you out of good intentions: unknown witnesses, I don't know where to get it. The unknown report that came out——If you can't give a reasonable explanation for the points you put forward, all the accusations that you have made since you appeared on the scene, called "surrender" and are actually counterclaims, will be in vain."
"...It doesn't matter if I tell you a little bit, it's not a big deal anyway." Pouting her lips, Mingyue Qingfeng secretly frowned: "My comrades were on a mission at the time and passed by that place by some chance. , he bumped into Prince Chris and entered the room, so out of curiosity, he wanted to take a peek at what the prince wanted to do."
"A good start." The crisp snapping sound is lonely
The ground echoed around the venue. He clapped his hands and blinked his eyes. He continued to stretch out his hand in the direction of the bright moon and the breeze: "Please continue."
"Just give us a brief description of what the 'scene and' process your colleagues saw was like."
