The discussion continued until it was almost noon.
Woodier seemed to be getting impatient.
"Let's not talk about daily affairs for now. Be it trade, resource exchange, or border issues, let's put them aside for now. Let's deal with the execution request for the former vice dean of the Spirit Hazard College, Kenhart. "
"Follow the original verdict and proceed with the execution. The evidence is clear, there's no need for further discussion," the person in charge of the Lanying Tower Magistrate, an old sorcerer with a solemn expression, replied in a low voice.
"The execution location will be decided by the Secret Arts Department."
"The execution time will be decided by the Meteorological Department."
Woodier scanned the crowd below him.
"Any other questions?"
"One more thing," an old sorcerer that Princess Jin Sui had recruited with a large sum of money stood up and said.
"No matter what, Kenhart's connections might affect the execution this time, so I request for more supervision and protection."
"Sure." Woodier nodded lightly. "However, due to the frequency of the new Crystallization Tide natural disasters, there won't be too many supervisors. The execution will be handled by the Magistrate. Now, the meeting is adjourned. "
He had already wasted too much time on these trivial matters. This kind of pointless waste made him even more impatient.
Whoosh!
Woodier disappeared from his throne.
The people below him heaved a sigh of relief. They were all thinking about whether they could find an opportunity to benefit themselves from the recent events.
…
…
Blue Eagle Prison.
It was located right under the famous Blue Eagle Statue in the Lanying Tower.
No one knew that under the blue falcon statue that was more than ten meters tall, there was actually a heavily guarded and mysterious prison.
This was where high-ranking criminals were locked up.
Kenhart sat alone on a simple stool in his cell. In front of him was a miniature yellow hourglass. It was used as a timekeeping device.
Since the day he returned from the catacombs and waited for backup.
He was mentally prepared when he was taken away by the Magistrate.
Until now, he did not even know where he was or what fate he was about to receive.
"I just hope Dora doesn't do anything stupid," he said helplessly.
He had never expected that things would end up like this. He had once believed that the Pagoda Master would give him justice.
Unfortunately …
"Kenhart, someone is here to visit the prison," the jailer outside suddenly shouted.
Very soon, someone walked over to open the door. Two prison guards led him out of the cell, one on the left and one on the right, and then they came to a special visiting room.
Mirrors were placed everywhere in the pure white visitation room.
There were two stools in the middle of the room.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
Kenhart was seated on one of the stools. He had the Mana Lock on him, so there was no need to worry that he could escape in an instant.
Soon, a middle-aged man with a beautiful mustache, dressed in a clean noble attire, slowly walked in and sat opposite him.
To Kenhart's surprise, he didn't know the man at all.
In his long memory, he had never seen this man in front of him.
Crack.
The door closed.
The other party was able to find this prison and obtain permission to visit it openly.
The hidden meaning behind this was definitely unimaginably powerful.
"Wizard Kenhart, regarding the series of events that have happened to you, I express my deep regret and anger." The middle-aged man said solemnly.
"Err … thank you for your understanding, but, do we know each other?" Kenhart asked doubtfully.
"No, but please don't worry, someone is saving you. We are looking for a proper way to get you out," the middle-aged man said calmly, "Our power is unparalleled, beyond your imagination. Even the Lanying Tower has to give us some face. "
"Someone is saving me?" Kenhart looked confused. Locked up in the Lanying Tower's prison, there was someone willing to save him?
"Yes. I believe it won't be long before we meet outside the prison. "The man smiled.
"…" Kenhart wanted to ask who it was. But if he asked here, not to mention whether the other party would answer, even if he did, he might drag the other party into the Lanying Tower's quagmire.
"Please adjust your body's condition, don't let your grief and anger affect your health. This is the reason why I came here to visit the prison after being asked to do so. "
The middle-aged man didn't say much, but the confidence in his words affected even Kenhardt a little.
Although he still didn't believe that someone would really come to save him.
"From now on, we will send people to visit you every day, please take care."
After saying that, the middle-aged man slowly left the prison, leaving behind a puzzled Kenhardt. He had no idea what had happened.
In the next few days.
Indeed, he had encountered many strangers who came to visit the prison.
These people seemed to only be there to check on his health and prevent any accidents. They had no other purpose.
Just when Kenhart was feeling puzzled, something happened.
Bolton Port, where the Lanying Tower was located, was the second largest port in the entire Portman Kingdom. At this time, there were many undercurrents of various sizes.
The Lanying Tower was indeed the most powerful force in this area, but that didn't mean that they were invincible.
There were many other forces of various sizes in Bolton Port.
Aside from the Temple, there were also the gangs, the various guilds, the branches of the merchant associations, the branches of the ancient families, and so on.
This huge port city was currently welcoming waves of gathering and surging undercurrents.
The power of the Light Society was being nurtured in the undercurrents and was gradually exerting its power.
Waves of power, both overt and covert, were like vines that grew in the night. In just a few days, they had spread to the decision-makers in the Lanying Tower.
There were also some old gangs that had planted spies a long time ago, and they were slowly being activated.
Countless threads and vines were like invisible giant hands that were slowly binding and entangling the decision-makers in the Lanying Tower.
A week later, during the second morning meeting.
Someone finally objected to Kenhart's suggestion.
It was a fair and open rebuttal to the Tower Master, Woody.
The first person to object was the old mage from the Crystal Family, Lorunka.
He was already over 300 years old, and he had taught countless students. The Crystal Family behind him also had a Legendary-level powerhouse who could stabilize the fate of the family.
Even in the Lanying Tower, he dared to object to the opinions of the Tower Master from time to time.
Normally, he was too lazy to speak up about anything.
However, this time, for the first time in public, he wanted to investigate and comment on Kenhart's case again.
As soon as Wizard Lorunka's voice came out, he received the support of many high-ranking mages present.
