Luo Bu originally wanted to help Abby find her irresponsible father, but the girl only had a dry name. Apart from that, there was no basic information such as surname, appearance, hometown, relatives, and so on. It was impossible to find the target with just these few clues.
However, the girl didn't care too much about this result. She had never seen her father since she was born, and she didn't have much affection for him. This was just something she wanted to do along the way. It would be best if she could find him, but it didn't matter if she couldn't. The main thing was that her mother always told her that the human world was fun, and she had been itching for it. Now that she finally reached adulthood, she ran away from home.
Master Wukaili explained, "In order to learn the local method of breeding guinea pigs, I stayed in a small orc tribe for a while. That was when I got to know the child's mother. During that time, she helped me a lot and acted as an interpreter for me and the others in the tribe. However, I left in a hurry and didn't have time to repay her. Since I met her daughter in Gudilesi, I had to help her. This child has a good heart, but she grew up in the orc tribe after all. She's not familiar with the human world yet. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future."
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor nodded, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."
Rob rented a single room for the girl nearby. The owner was an old lady in her sixties. Her two daughters were already married, and her husband passed away last year. The old lady probably felt lonely living alone, so she rented out a room in her house. The rent was very cheap, only two silver coins a year. Living here could help Abby get familiar with the human world faster.
Abby originally had some objections about renting a room, but after seeing her new house, she quickly gave up. She was even more satisfied when she found that the bed was softer than any in the tribe. In the afternoon, Master Wukaili took the little girl to buy a batch of daily necessities, while the quasi-magus went back to school to continue his tutoring.
He had also heard some news in the school. At this moment, Caesar's trial was being carried out in secret somewhere in the city. The reason for the secret trial was because the Andrea Family's reputation and the possible bad influence it might bring. However, the court had already issued a statement that the form of the trial would not affect the final result. If Caesar was really guilty, the court would not let him go just because he was a noble.
The Andrea Family was also very concerned about the outcome of the trial. They specially sent two representatives to attend the trial. They also had a special mission. The patriarch of the Andrea Family had said that if the previous charges were true, even if the court did not sentence Caesar to death in the end, they would still execute the family's private law on Caesar.
Today was the day of the court's final verdict. Caesar's heart was now full of despair. No one knew the nobles better than him. The family's honor would always be above blood relations. Moreover, he was only from a collateral branch. Once he did something that tarnished the Andrea family name, only the cold family rules would be waiting for him. All the ancient big nobles were surprisingly consistent on this point. Even if the Andrea Family had the ability to save him, they would only stand by for the family's honor.
Today, the two distant uncles came very early. They sat in the last row, looking at Caesar with a faint smile on their faces. However, there was no warmth behind the smile. Caesar was about to give up hope, but after seeing the two smiling faces, his heart suddenly burst with a strong desire to survive.
Yes, it was this kind of smile that seemed kind but was actually contemptuous. He was obviously the most talented young man in the family. However, because of his family background, he did not know how many people had looked down on him since he was a child. Compared with those direct descendants, he had to work thousands of times harder to get what they had already gotten. Even if he had reached today's status and grown into a competitor for the next patriarch, the way those people looked at him had not changed at all.
This kind of look was the biggest motivation for Caesar to climb up these years. He wanted to prove to all those who had looked down on him that he was the best among the younger generation of the family. He wanted to become the next patriarch of the Andrea Family and trample all those people under his feet.
No, before this dream came true, he must not fall here!!! Caesar clenched his fists.
He was very clear that the premise of all this depended on whether he could survive today's trial.
His trial had been going on for a full seven days. The garrison had listed several charges against him. Among them, the two most serious charges were betraying his teammates in the freshmen competition and betraying humanity. However, the charges against him did not go well from the first day. Although Teacher Harvey and many students who had been to the insectoid nest testified that he had served the monster for a short period of time, unfortunately, they did not have any substantial evidence in their hands.
As the only living person in the nest, Caesar was undoubtedly very suspicious. However, they could not arbitrarily label him as a traitor because of this. As for those who were rescued from the giant white egg, they were also very confused, including his previous teammates. The time they were attacked was very short. Most of them did not even realize what had happened. After that, it was like a nightmare. They knew nothing about what had happened in the outside world. When they opened their eyes again, they were on the bed of the church.
Therefore, none of them could prove that Caesar had betrayed humanity or betrayed his teammates.
Except for one person. She was Shirley. After coming out from the insectoid nest, everyone's attitude toward Caesar was very hostile. Only the freshman girl named Shirley was willing to stay by his side. After that, Shirley, Caesar, and Teacher Harris formed a team to search for the final Holy Relic. However, unfortunately, they encountered the monster that had infiltrated the inner city. Teacher Harris voluntarily stayed behind to stop the monster, allowing Shirley and Caesar to escape first. However, in the end, only Caesar escaped the disaster.
What happened after that was only known to Shirley and Caesar. According to the girl's first testimony after she was rescued by the church, when the monster killed Teacher Harris and caught up to them, Caesar pushed her to the monster in order to survive. This testimony became the irrefutable evidence that Caesar had betrayed his teammates.
Today, the girl named Shirley would personally testify against Caesar in court. If there were no accidents, with this testimony and the many suspicious points that Caesar had previously shown, the court would be able to convict him.
The Andrea family never thought that one day their survival would depend on a small character that they had never taken seriously. The scene at this moment seemed particularly ironic. Shirley sat in the witness seat and looked at him with a complicated expression. In her eyes, the most unbearable thing for him was not hatred, disappointment, or sadness, but the faint pity behind it.
This was what made Caesar the most mad. However, he also saw a glimmer of hope from that pity. The young master of the Andrea family took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and calmed his emotions again.
