Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 23: Participate in the competition!
With Hensel's help, Winnie found a place to rest.
He is now in very weak health and falls ill easily.
But he is in high spirits now, because his brother is here.
Although Marvin used to be a bit too kind and even cowardly, in Winnie's eyes, he will always be the omnipotent brother.
The two brothers have a very good relationship.
According to the rules of the Wizarding Union, Marvin is now just the acting lord.
The real lord of the White River Valley should be Winnie when he grows up.
Because he is a wizard, even though he is the younger brother, his inheritance rights are before Marvin because of his identity as a wizard.
Logically, the two brothers have a conflict of interest, but neither of them seems to care about it.
All they care about is each other.
This is what true brothers are.
…
After the arbitrator announced the arbitration result, he left on his own accord.
The Tower of Ashes will then take over the case.
The audience was all excited.
They originally came to watch the arbitration, but they didn't expect to see the trial today.
This poor Baron Marvin is probably going to end up in jail.
The rule of the Southern Wizarding Union is very strict. Trial is different from arbitration, and Marvin doesn’t even have the right to defend himself!
All results are decided by the judge.
The Tower of Ashes has three inquisitors throughout the year, but two of them are said to be busy and unable to come.
The person who came today was an old man with white beard.
He is a first-level wizard with limited aptitude, and it is estimated that he will never be able to advance in this lifetime.
But with the help of family power, it is more than enough to sit in some more useful positions.
For example, the Inquisitor.
The Inquisitor pretended to read through a summary of the Marvin incident.
Then he pretended to be in deep thought for a while.
Everyone is patiently waiting for the verdict.
Marvin sneered at the old man's pretense.
"This guy has already had the verdict in mind, right?"
"Direct execution is impossible. That's too much. I'll probably be sent to jail. But once I'm in jail, with the power of their family, wouldn't it be easy to kill me?"
"This old man's acting is terrible. He even holds the file upside down... and his expression is so exaggerated."
Just as he was complaining in his heart, the old man suddenly raised his voice.
"Ahem. Now let me announce the verdict."
"Unfortunately, the other two judges have important matters to attend to, so I will be the only one to make the judgment on the outcome of today's trial."
"Baron Marvin openly challenged the dignity of the Tower of Ashes and seriously violated the Southern Wizard Alliance's regulations on protecting wizards."
"The verdict I give is: three years in prison."
As soon as the result came out, there was a burst of noise from the audience.
Some nobles were indignant and shouted, "Three years in prison? Damn it, he was slandered first, he should have been acquitted, but he was imprisoned for three years?"
"shameless!"
"Aren't the people of the Unicorn Family too shameless?"
There were also several members of larger wizarding families present, and they were full of sneers and ridicule.
It wasn't that they had any sympathy for Marvin; they just took the opportunity to verbally attack their opponent.
As for those ordinary nobles, they felt a bit grieved over the loss of their loved ones.
Will what happened to Marvin happen to them one day?
Being accused of being a fake noble, can't I fight back?
Marvin still holds the September Medal! Can't that save him?
However, no matter how angry and aggrieved everyone is, the result is already out.
Marvin was to be imprisoned for three years.
…
In a corner of the audience, Winnie stood up anxiously.
Although he is young, he also knows the methods of the Unicorn gang. Once Marvin enters the prison, he will probably face great danger!
They will definitely not let their brothers off easily.
"Don't get excited yet." Henzel held Winnie down and said, "I don't think Marvin is in a hurry."
"He seems quite calm."
"Does he have another trump card?"
Winnie was stunned for a moment. Hensel was right. His brother seemed to be very calm indeed.
He doesn't seem to care at all about going to jail!
How is this going ?
…
After hearing the verdict of the trial, Marvin just smiled faintly.
As expected.
The Unicorn family? How cruel. They are forcing the two brothers to death.
"Can you still sit still?"
He looked silently at the little girl in the witness stand.
The latter's expression had become very calm.
He didn't seem to have any emotions.
Yet Marvin could sense the anger in her heart.
"Speaking of which, I am quite lucky."
"If it weren't for this person, I'm afraid we would be in real trouble, right?"
He thought leisurely in his heart.
At this moment, the judge said: "The verdict has been announced. Members of the law enforcement team are requested to lock up Baron Marvin..."
At this moment, his words were interrupted by someone!
It was a childish voice: "The trial result is invalid."
Although the voice was very soft, it suddenly sounded in everyone's heart!
The judge was stunned.
He looked at the little girl sitting in the witness stand and smiled: "Little girl, this matter is not up to you."
As the master of the Tower of Ashes, only a few people know Hathaway's three forms. This witch has not been seen in public for a long time.
People say that she is in seclusion to reach the threshold of legend.
No one would have thought that the little girl in front of them was one of the three giants of the three-ring tower!
The little girl raised her head and looked at the old man coldly:
"I said the trial is invalid."
This time, her voice rose an octave and became extremely loud!
Everyone looked at her in surprise!
What's wrong with this girl? Is she crazy? How can a witness point fingers at the judge?
"Where did this little girl come from? She looks so cute..."
"He seems to be a witness. He is probably very dissatisfied with the result. He is too young."
"She looks very sensible though. I wonder whose little girl she is. She's probably here to register for school."
Everyone was talking about it.
Only a few people showed surprised looks.
They had already begun a moment of silence for the Inquisitor.
Among them was Marvin.
His expression remained calm, but he was laughing inside.
This idiot actually told the owner of the Tower of Ashes that what happened on her territory was not her decision?
Hathaway must be mad, right?
If Hathaway had originally just participated in the event for fun, this time, the people of the Unicorn family had truly angered this quasi-legend!
…
“Don’t make trouble!”
Before the old man could react, he said sternly, "Law enforcement team, take this child away."
However, no one paid any attention to him.
At that moment, the law enforcement team received a notification from the owner of the Tower of Ashes!
They were all shocked. The long-silent Lord Hathaway actually gave them a direct order!
This is really shocking.
They dared not move at all!
"Law enforcement team!" The old man was angry: "Where are the people?"
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what had happened.
Marvin almost couldn't hold back and almost laughed out loud.
The little girl's body suddenly floated up and her eyes turned crimson.
"Are all the people in the Unicorn family pigs?"
As soon as she finished speaking, with a bang, the judge suddenly turned into a pig!
It walked back and forth on the platform in a daze, feeling very embarrassed and cramped!
Everyone laughed.
Instant Transfiguration!
Marvin squinted his eyes and recognized the spell Hathaway used at a glance.
"You can shut up now."
The little girl said coldly: "People from the unicorn world, just be the fucking quiet!"
"If there is a next time, we will turn all your people into pigs!"
"This is the Three Ring Tower, not your Crystal Palace!"
Having said this, her figure suddenly changed and turned into a blonde woman in her twenties!
"Lord Hathaway!"
Everyone exclaimed, and the wizards of the Tower of Ashes knelt on one knee with looks of humility.
Hensel was also extremely surprised and pulled Winnie to salute.
In the entire arbitration hall, Marvin was the only one standing there.
"I declare that Baron Marvin is not guilty."
Hathaway said coldly.
The next second, she opened a door and left.
Everyone was left looking at each other in bewilderment.
…
"I didn't expect that Lady Hathaway was actually a witness!"
In Winnie's room, Henzel stared at Marvin closely: "Do you know something?"
Marvin stretched himself and said , "I'm just lucky."
Hensel looked incredulous.
Marvin changed the subject: "Although Winnie's body recovered quickly, it seems that the competition is about to start, right?"
"There's nothing we can do. I guess we have to give up." Hensel looked at his disciple with some heartache.
The competition starts in three days. By then, Winnie will be able to use some tricks at best, and even first-level spells will be difficult to perform.
He would not let his disciples die.
"I heard that every wizard can bring one follower."
"Then let me compete as your follower."
Marvin looked at Winnie and said decisively.
