Tou no Madoushi

Flora's trial took place.

Her trial became topical throughout Alfld, when residents, from the poor to the wealthy, tried to pack into court to see what sentences would be handed down to her.

What judgment will come to this murderer who has terrorized Alfld more and more?

Too many audiences visited, so much so that court clerks had to restrict admission.

The uninterrupted audience lined up around the courthouse, and one set up a building around the courthouse to keep an eye on it from a high place to siege the courthouse. (Inside the tower, the roof of the court was a blowout due to the consideration that it would not rain and that anyone could see the course of the trial as much as possible, and it was also obvious from the outside of the building what was going on inside.

Only shortly after the riots at Lord Edianel's mansion did the authorities alert the residents to this reaction.

Soldiers wearing swords and armor were deployed on an ad hoc basis, releasing herds of harpies into the sky and providing security in an all-out manner to prevent riots from occurring.

Around the court, skirmishes ensued between the audience and the guards, causing frequent anger.

The vicinity of the court is enveloped in a visibly vivid atmosphere.

Behind these noises, incitement and arrangements by civilians, including Kalo, also played a part.

Lynn had managed to get inside the courtroom because she was rushing to court as soon as possible.

There was also a falsaras in the high seat of the courtroom.

That had shown that this trial was of councillor liver.

I'm also glad to say that it's thanks to Falsaras that judges and prosecutors can remain flat even when surrounded by so many mob reserves.

We thought that as long as he was here, we wouldn't be harmed.

Nevertheless, some of the audience were painting 'castle wall paint' or, if they did, equipping themselves with demon props for combat, and they were giving signs that if there was to be a verdict that they didn't care about, it wouldn't be free.

Thus, in a different atmosphere, the trial of Flora began.

Flora didn't have a lawyer on her.

It was the law in Alfld that slave-class suspects did not have to have a lawyer.

That's why she had to file her own objection against the guilty prosecution.

But she didn't know the rules of the trial in the first place.

In fact, the trial is a sport of gentlemen who dispute over the credibility of the facts and the validity of the punishment, but innocent and innocent of any kind, such as the dirty exchanges carried out by poor and good citizens and great men, she believed that the great men bore all the circumstances because of their mystical power and their insight, and that a fair verdict came down from nowhere.

That's why she just listened to most of them while the DA said the charges were hard.

In the end, the prosecution's statement was concluded without any objection, as was the admission of all the facts stated by the prosecution.

Even if there was some falsehood mixed up there, no one can blame it, nor can they overshadow any of them for what they admitted in person in court.

She also defended herself every time she was given the opportunity to make a statement, but unfortunately she came here without any preparation, so the statement was always elusive and I couldn't grasp the point.

Besides, her words were not magic, but languages that could not be known as any remote country, which made the judge and the audience very frustrating, hard to hear by the inhabitants of the tower accustomed to magic.

That's why the judge's mind about her just got worse than she liked it.

Lynn, who I saw, even thought I'd go down to court and defend her.

But I can be stopped by Dieneh, who was listening with me next door.

"No. Lynn."

"Dieneh, but... she's like this..."

"Now, leaving won't do you any good. It just makes you worse off."

Lynn had to watch the trial go down with her teeth biting.

As the trial progressed, Flora also realized late that her words and actions were making her position worse, but by then the trial had plugged into good shape.

Eventually all statements and evidence were submitted, the interrogation was completed and the judgment was stated by the judge.

She was given the same punishment as Yuin.

In the arena, after being fought with the Warcraft until the magic runs out, he is sentenced to exile.

It was the heaviest punishment of all that was ordained in this tower.

The audience, who had rather, drank down to the verdict, dissolved without rioting anything in particular, and left the court.

The punishment was executed at an unusual rate.

Three days after the verdict, she will soon be ready to serve her sentence.

As at trial, the arena was packed with a large crowd.

People shouted at the 'murderers' to boost the execution.

Flora, who was taken from the detention center to the arena, is forced to face the cage where the commandments were broken and already carried.

There was a lion in the cage.

A wand was thrown at her with no escape.

Nevertheless, there was no farce more ridiculous.

She can't use magic if she's given a wand.

Executions began when a law enforcement officer formally described her guilty pleas as hard.

First, the lion is released.

She could only tremble at the impending beast as she embraced the given wand.

There's nothing to help you if you look around.

A hungry lion slowly approaches me.

I saw only one face that I knew she would turn to the audience.

It was Lynn.

Lynn also realized that she recognized herself.

Her eyes were asking for help.

The lion jumped on Flora.

"Lynn. Help......"

Flora was torn apart by the lion's nails and fangs, not long before she finished saying everything, and she was out of breath.

A cheer occurs.

Lynn continued to look at the arena stunnedly.

The attendant who saw her die begins to clean up the set set set up in the arena as if nothing had happened.

That was like after the festival.

Two, one of the attendants gestured toward the audience to quiet down.

Lynn wondered what would happen, and when she looked at the arena, Falsaras was just showing up in the middle of the arena.

Climbing onto the stage, Falsaras began his speech to the audience.

"O people of Alfrid. Evil was cursed. This will restore peace and tranquillity to Alfredo."

When Falsaras declared so, the audience was applauded.

Lynn was only uncomfortable.

After Flora's execution, Farsalas was about to return to the 500 tiers after all administrative processing and formalities.

"Wait"

"Hmm? Lynn."

"The case has not yet been solved"

"What?"

"There's something obviously wrong with this case,"

"The executor was brought to justice. Lord Edianel, who is seen as the main culprit, fled. After that, it's about the kingdom of Wingard."

"That's not true!

Lynn said her voice uncommonly absurdly.

……

"The guild that used Flora to make the bombing. Perhaps' Marche Ansier ', they are still inside the tower. In order not to make a case again, pursue them without ending here..."

"Lynn. Are you even going to be a historian?

"What?"

"It doesn't matter if the truth about the case. The important thing is to clean up the problem quickly."

"No, but..."

"Atrea told me. I hear you're aiming for the top of the tower. You don't care about your career?

"Career......"

"Yes, a career. Lynn, if your career is important, don't do anything extra. That's what matters when it comes out. Remember."

Falsaras gets in the elevator going upstairs when that's all he says.

"Please wait. Mr. Falsaras!

"Come on."

Shenyes grabbed Lynn's shoulder and held her down as Lynn tried to cling to the white robe of Falsalas.

"If you tell the 500 hierarchical wizards any more, you may now be considered a traitor."

"Dr. Shenyes...... Why..."

"Dieneh told me. Today, he has business, so he asked me to keep an eye on you instead. The last few days, you haven't figured out what you're going to serve. [M] You were right to do what Dieneh said. Come on. That's it for the police. Come here."

"But..."

"Fine. Come here. Come on."

Shenyes was forced to take Lynn to the modest room.

The elevator with the falsaras leaves up to 500 floors.

Lynn could only watch Falsalas go upstairs in silence as she was pulled by Shenyes.

Shenyes locked the door to the room after taking Lynn, who was completely upset, to the pit room in the arena to sit in the chair.

Lynn was depressed for a while and stared at a point in the room all the time, stood up like she was bounced, and seemed restless to roam through the room.

Shenyes waited patiently until Lynn settled down.

About an hour after entering the modem, Lynn finally turned to Shenyes.

It was as if I'd just noticed you were there.

"Shen 'es... Doctor..."

"Are you finally settled?

"What do you mean? Guys. They say nothing's solved the underlying problem. Nothing has been resolved. Yet why is everyone as if the case is already closed..."

"Hmm. Are you not convinced?"

Now it was Shenyes' turn to take a restless attitude.

I come and go to the room.

Walking around the room for a little while, he repeated actions such as leaning down or looking up to heaven for a while.

Lynn looked at him strangely.

That's how Schenjes finally opened his mouth.

Perhaps you could tell me what I think.

He started talking with his heavy mouth open so that he could finally decide what was lost.

"Have you ever done anything wrong and been punished?"

"Yeah, that's okay. As much as my teacher pissed me off."

"Didn't you think then?" Why me, "he said. Or 'why only myself'. And he said," You know, other people do the same thing. "

"Well, sometimes I don't think so... But that's..."

"That intuition is correct. Because punishment can't be fair."

"What?

"No one abides by the law without punishment. Therefore the state shows justice by punishing the people to strictly abide by the law. But there is a troublesome problem here. That there is always a way out of state law. In addition to various practical inconsistencies, punishment can ultimately be spared if they are not found out. No matter how harshly we control crime and how harshly we punish it, the way out arises. Because laws must be promulgated before they are implemented. It is clearly shown what to do and what not to be caught. On the contrary, that's like revealing how working evil can be missed. So in fact, all criminals who are oblivious to the law are caught, and criminals who are familiar with the law are not caught no matter how bad they do. Naturally, whoever controls the state knows this without being bothered to say it. But it is difficult for those who descend to know it. It is difficult for those who sit in the heart of the state to be realised that, in fact, they are all criminals and their descendants. Make it look as if the law is working by regularly exposing the dumb criminals caught there."

"No... no..."

"That's what it is. Justice is not about judging evil, but about sacrificing."

……

"Politicians, rulers, what they say the problem has been solved, i.e. discontent, no more complaining people. Clear all the sacrifices."

……

"What kind of person in a position like me would say something like this? Stop asking for help from politics and the law. Those called politicians and rulers, when things go wrong, all they can do is choose who will sacrifice, not solve them."

Lynn walked home from the arena like she wasn't here.

People were enjoying peace where the winds blow, such as bomb noise until a few days ago.

We hear laughter and jokes flying from stores everywhere, celebrating the end of the day.

Lynn wanted to avoid their cheerful voice as much as possible, choosing a path that was less crowded and walking.

While I'm doing that, I go into an alley where I don't have one kid.

The solar stone light had already weakened, and the book of the night had fallen around.

Lynn was walking around the road alone, nobody, but accidentally a voice can be heard from above.

"What's going on? You're so squishy. You shouldn't be walking too far down the night lane. They said they hadn't even caught the mastermind of the bombing."

When Lynn looked up to her voice, there was Luciola, Forta and Widget who climbed on the roof.

"How was it? What about our spectacle? Did you have a little fun?

"You guys..."

Lynn hangs up her pockets and stares at them.

"I struggled. Make Flora think I'm Lord Edianel."

Luciola strokes around her face to show it.

Then her face became Lord Edianel.

Touch it again and it will go back to normal.

"An amendment to the bill would be frustrating beyond all this noise caused by the Missrill bomb. Amendments to the bill will also include the liberalization of production of Mithrills. Lord Edianel has also lost his legs and no longer has anyone to push for an amendment to the bill. In fact, the amendment bill is going to be crushed."

"Rather, regulation among the tower hierarchies would be stronger. There's just more work for us. The nobles who want to make money off the law don't have to rely on us."

"Why can't Flora be punished and you guys be punished?"

Forta looked down at Lynn with her chilled eyes.

"I know. You just have to sacrifice, right? If we do not even fail to do so, we will be forgiven no matter how much evil we work in the shadows. As long as the sacrifice is made, the righteous will then drink down and rest assured. The law assumes that security is properly observed"

"You good people follow the rules, not because you want to do the right thing. Because I'm anxious!

said fingering Lynn so that the widget would impeach her.

"... eh"

"You're the same, aren't you? Lynn. I don't want to be anxious. So even though I knew I was wrong, I didn't help Flora. Isn't that right?

"No. I..., I..."

Lynn tried to fight with courage.

Try to gather light on the ring.

"Stop it. If you get your hands on us, it's your turn to sacrifice."

"How about more than that? Would you like to be friends with us?

"What?"

"We've been observing you carefully. As a result, I'm sure. You have no talent for a magician. [M] But if you're talented as a bad guy, you have first-rate stuff. We'd like to invite you to the Marche Ansier."

"You don't feel like you have the gift of being a magician, do you? You'd better stand up as a bad guy. Get along with us. I'll show you how to escape anxiety."

"You don't need to feel guilty about anything. It is proof of excellence that we can work evil."

"No... no. Forgive me..."

"It's actually forgiven. The nobles are doing something similar. I let good and ignorant people abide by the law, and in some cases even the rules not written in the legal texts, to rule, exploit and wind up gold"

"If you've been dating nobles, too, you know that, right? How clever the nobles are doing to make money."

"It's just a little more silly and classy than us."

"No matter how exploited, the virtuous can never turn against it. Continue to obey rules that are conveniently created for the ruler. It's scary that anyone breaks the rules and gets sidetracked."

"Lynn, humans are anxiety-vulnerable creatures. If you stir up a little anxiety, you'll lose sight of the essence. If you want to escape anxiety, throw away your money and your dignity, and there are plenty of people kneeling before us. That's what makes a great business."

"Why don't you come with us to the top of the tower? If you work with us, you can become a 500 tier magician, a member of the council. You just have to do more and more justice and work more and more evil. [M] Let's keep preparing sacrifices for you. There will be a glorious future there."

"Because... that's why you're manipulating a child who doesn't know anything to commit an act of terrorism! That..."

Lynn's ring emits a strong light.

"I won't let that happen any more!

The sword of light is emitted towards the three of us.

The sword will be lightly struck out without reaching them.

"Stupid yazu. You're gonna regret pointing a blade at us."

"I'm looking forward to it. how much you will suffer with that tiny talent"

"Lynn. Just remember this. You're just like us. You will not be rewarded for going down a straight path."

That said, the three disappeared into the darkness.
