One month later.
Buzz!
A mechanical bee landed in front of Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle at lightning speed. With a knock on the door, Grimm, who was quietly observing the lightning patterns on the cross-section of the broken branches, raised his head. He sighed and kept the two broken branches.
"Caw! Young Master, it must be because you've completed your certification. It's time for the trial. I'll go into hiding. "Myna disappeared into the Dimensional Gap.
Grimm hurriedly tidied up the laboratory and flew downstairs to open the door of the Demon-Hunter Castle.
"Grimm?"
The two Demon-Hunter Sorcerers were wearing eye patches that looked like flies. The crystal mirror of the eye patch was flashing with a dark red light. A black mask covered their faces, making them look very mysterious.
Grimm nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
Whoosh …
The two Demon-Hunter Sorcerers took out a pair of metal anti-magic shackles and a mission scroll. One of them said coldly, "You've been confirmed by the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' Demon-Hunter Tribunal. You've violated the Holy Tower's rules. Follow us to the Demon-Hunter Tribunal for interrogation."
Nodding, Grimm stretched out both of his arms.
Click!
The metal anti-magic shackles were put on Grimm's arms.
At first, Grimm felt that he could completely break free. However, after a few breaths, he realized that his body was limp. The magic in his body was beginning to die, and he began to feel powerless against the metal anti-magic shackles.
"Let's go."
The two Demon-Hunter Sorcerers escorted Grimm into the mechanical bee. Then, as the mechanical bee flapped its wings rapidly, a gust of wind and dust rose from the lawn. It disappeared in a flash.
Three days later.
In the completely enclosed room, it was so quiet that it made people feel hopeless. The only light from the skylight told Grimm that the sun and the moon were alternating.
Suddenly, with a "rumble" of mechanical gears grinding, Grimm, who was sitting on the floor, raised his head. A pair of black eyes under his golden hair looked over.
The light was a little dazzling. Grimm quickly lowered his head and closed his eyes again.
Two pairs of strong hands picked up the limp and powerless Grimm, half dragging him. After a few minutes of silence, Grimm arrived at a large hall and was then confined to a chair.
The hall was brightly lit.
There were a total of six wizards on the high platform in the distance. Among them was the white-bearded old man, who was smoking his pipe and puffing out rings of smoke.
The six Magi on the platform glanced at Grimm and began to review the information in their hands.
"As a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, not only did he fail to protect the human heritage of the Sorcerer Continent, he even helped the Dark Demon Sorcerers to escape back to the filthy Black Domain. What a heinous crime!"
A magistrate wizard roared in anger and threw away the documents in his hand.
"Attempted crime? However, it's not because of his own will. It's because this Demon-Hunter Consociation Wizard, Banjada, stopped the evil. Therefore, we need to seriously consider reducing the Judge's sentence. "
One of the Judgement Sorcerers was relatively calm.
"Involuntary depravity to save his wife's life? Although it is pardonable, acolytes and normal humans are on the same level. To save and protect a Dark Sorcerer acolyte, you killed many normal humans and used them as materials for the Dark Sorcerers to collect Despair. This is a heinous crime … "
The first three Judgement Sorcerers were people who hated Black Sorcerers to the core, just like Grimm at this moment.
If it wasn't for the Dark Sorcerer Hattori the Hidden, this series of events would not have happened.
However, the fourth Judgement Sorceress had a twist.
"However, it's important to note that the certificate states that Lefay is the wife of Demon-Hunter Sorcerer Grimm. In other words, he is also a victim. Although he has committed a heinous crime, he has taken the initiative to repent … "
The voice of the Judgement Sorceress was pleasant to the ear, like water flowing over pebbles in a stream.
The fifth Demon-Hunter continued, "Yes, according to the certificate, Grimm has the will of the world's core to forcibly become an official sorcerer, and he has the recognition of the Sorcerer's Will of the Level-3 Demon Hunter Badge. According to the law of nurturing potential, our mission is to nurture the potential of the Sorcerer World as much as possible, not to punish. "
Smash, suck …
"Not bad, a young Dark Sorcerer with potential needs our care and tolerance. After all, they have sacrificed too much for the Sorcerer World. We should work hard to guide these children who have sacrificed so much for the Sorcerer World to the right path, so that their strength can be fully unleashed for the development of the Sorcerer World. "
"Huff …"
The white-bearded sorcerer blew out another ring of smoke.
"After all, Dark Sorcerers have grown up in the midst of evil and cruelty. All of this is a situation where there is no other choice. The Sage Sorcerers of the previous generations already know the price and disdain of sorcerers who divide the Sorcerers like this. One of the biggest price is the continuation of chaos. Therefore, a Dark Sorcerer who cannot adhere to the principle of cruelty is not a qualified Dark Sorcerer. Some small crimes are also … "
Bang!
A mallet knocked on the table.
"The Sorcerer World nurtures Dark Sorcerers for a better future. It is not a reason to tolerate them breaking the law! They have indeed sacrificed more than the Bright Sorcerers, but the law is the law, it cannot be because … "
The six trial sorcerers on the high platform had a series of arguments and compromises. Although they had different opinions on Grimm's judgment, in essence, they were the guardians of the Sorcerer World. They were all people who dedicated themselves to the Sorcerer World selflessly.
Grimm was shackled to the chair, like a lamb on a leash. Two Demon-Hunter Sorcerers were guarding the chair, not a single hair out of place.
With his head lowered, Grimm did not say anything. He only waited for the judgment to come.
A mature sorcerer must bear his own responsibility, accept the consequences of wrong decisions, and face everything with his own eyes.
The so-called pardonable reason was only from Grimm's personal standpoint.
After a full quarter of an hourglass, the six trial sorcerers finally reached a consensus.
"Black Isotta Academy, Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, Grimm."
Grimm raised his head and looked at the judge who announced his judgment.
Under the messy golden hair, his eyes were incomparably calm. Because the Mask of Truth had disappeared, his resolute face was exposed in the air, facing the crowd.
"After the unanimous verdict of the six trial sorcerers, your crimes are: assisting the wanted Dark Sorcerer, Hattori the Hidden, attempting to escape, sheltering the evil Dark Sorcerer apprentice, Lefay for three months, and indirectly killing civilians to collect the despair of mankind. You have violated the Holy Tower's rules. Your crimes are heinous, and you will be sentenced to a total of nine hundred and fifty years."
Grimm held his breath. A trace of pain and disappointment appeared on his face.
Nine hundred and fifty years?
Even for an official sorcerer, it was a little too long.
Just when Grimm felt a trace of unbearable pain and despair, the sorcerer glanced at Grimm and continued.
"But considering Grimm's identity as a Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, this is his first offense. Moreover, he voluntarily confessed his sins and did not cause any actual damage to the Sorcerer World's rules. His criminal motive is pardonable. The judges have decided to reduce his sentence to two hundred years in the Seven Ring Penitentiary, and give him a warning. "
Hmm?
Two hundred years?
This kind of punishment, although still long, was barely bearable. Grimm's heart gradually calmed down.
But …
"And because Grimm entered the Heart of the World as the Dark Sorcerer Holy Tower's first place during his apprenticeship, he was recognized by the Sorcerer's Will. According to the Sorcerer World's principle of caring for and nurturing potential, his sentence is unconditionally reduced to fifty years in the Seven Ring Penitentiary. Also, because he obtained a Rank 3 Demon Hunter Honor Badge in the Demon-Hunting Expedition, he is considered to have made great contributions to the Sorcerer World. The judge has decided that Grimm can be punished with one hundred Sorcerer Essences in lieu of fifty years in the Seven Ring Penitentiary. "
After a pause, the sorcerer looked at Grimm and said, "If you refuse to accept the judgment, you have the right to pay one hundred Sorcerer Essences and apply for a higher judgment."
Grimm took a deep breath and said, "I agree with the judgment and am willing to pay one hundred Sorcerer Essences to be exempted from fifty years in the Seven Ring Penitentiary."
The sorcerer nodded, raised the sheepskin scroll and shouted, "Judgment ends."
Then, the six trial sorcerers branded their life information on the sheepskin scroll and handed it to Grimm.
With the help of the two guarding Demon-Hunter Sorcerers, Grimm temporarily recovered a trace of magic power and branded his life information on the sheepskin scroll.
The Holy Tower of Seven Ring Sorcerer's Will fluctuated. The old sorcerer kept the sheepskin scroll and said in a deep voice, "The judgment is in effect. Execute immediately!"
The two guards carried Grimm out of the courtroom and passed by another Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who came to accept the judgment.
