Consternation, anger, noise, fear... The atmosphere of the whole Parliament hall is extremely chaotic and treacherous. It is only because of the majesty of his majesty Eckhart II that it is not completely chaotic.
Yes, that''s the situation.
Lusack kovo is dead. For the vast majority of nobles, the whole pre imperial trial has become a foregone conclusion. Anyone with a sound mind can understand with his toes that the people of the church have won.
Under the established rules, Loren has no chance of winning... The person he wants to defend has committed suicide and left no last words... For the church, it even saves the trouble of looking for evidence, because no matter what they want to say, no one will come forward to refute.
The end of abiding by the rules is death, so the only choice is to overthrow their established rules.
It sounds very difficult, but it is not impossible to disrupt the situation and let the seemingly invincible enemy collapse without war; The reason is simple... The front established by the Holy Cross Church is also not as strong as it seems.
The house of Lords, composed of 300 nobles who regard money as their life, are selfish, greedy for power and flattery, is doomed that these people can be coerced and lured, or beaten head-on, tell their interests, or even blackmail to make them obey willingly.
The means of the Holy Cross Church is even simpler than this... Pure fear makes them dare not disobey the will of the church, especially when the church has occupied an absolute advantage, fewer people are willing to stand up.
However, the authority established by fear will disappear because of the loss of fear... Long before opening his mouth, Loren expected that the former cabinet would never agree.
Therefore, the balance of victory began to tilt from the moment when the seal minister mettner first stood up to agree with the black haired wizard''s point of view.
The trial court is in a row, and the former royal cabinet runs its own affairs... The whole former royal trial will inevitably lead to an impasse under the leadership of Victor Seuss, a fair and strict justice.
At that time, the evidence will be irrelevant, and it doesn''t matter whether Lusaka is still alive. The chaotic situation makes 300 aristocrats no longer afraid of the authority of the church and unwilling to bribe their wizards and churches, so that these people can make the final decision purely from their own heart without considering their interests.
It is no longer light and justice that can win the final victory; But which side''s speech and words can be recognized by more noble members and even the former cabinet.
For Loren and the Royal College of witches and wizards, they do not need to be collectively recognized by 300 noble parliamentarians like the church; As long as the number is more than half.
The Royal College of wizards is not a Holy Cross Church. If it is too strong, it will not be supported... At this time, pretending to be miserable and pathetic is also a strategy, and it can get more recognition without involving interests.
Church judge terrus luff did not expect this, because he was still not a politician in essence, but a religious man with strong desire for power and utilitarianism; For this adult, fear and power are omnipotent, the power that can end everything.
Therefore, he could not and would never have expected such a situation to happen.
But Loren expected it.

"In my hands, the research data of Lusaka kovo when he presided over the ''drug test'' 15 years ago, which clearly recorded the whole process of the so-called ''test'', and even included the causes and results of the whole event."
Then the black haired wizard who raised the parchment scroll in his hand turned and looked at the 300 noble councillors sitting under the steps: "in the most popular words in the imperial capital, these... Are the hard evidence of Lusaka kovo!"
"But... Is that true?"
The little priest''s expression was uncertain, but he never stood up to refute Loren''s will.
"On July 25, 435 patients were treated, 30 were cured, 105 improved, 200 ineffective, and 100 deteriorated or even died."
The dark haired wizard with calm complexion, his right hand holding the scroll, was always trembling slightly:
"If it''s just to record new drugs... There is no doubt that drug reaction should be the top priority in the whole data; but in fact, on the contrary, the most content in the file is the effect."
"Why is this?"
"The reason is very simple..." Lauren sighed, "because from beginning to end, it was not a ''new drug'' experiment, but an out and out natural and man-made disaster!"
"Please recall what was the first response plan of the pharmacist guild in that incident? It was cough medicine and clean drinking water."
"The so-called ''inviting people'' is that these pharmacists are doing their best to curb the large-scale plague that has begun to break out!"
The whole hall was surprised when the voice fell!
"Nonsense!"
The expression of the church judge was twisted into a ball, and flames were burning in the cold pupils.
"I transferred the construction plan of civilian areas in the imperial capital 15 years ago - in that year, due to the tight tax burden of the Empire, it was impossible to extend the sewer network in the city to civilian areas, and the elevated canals that can provide clean water also did not cover there."
"The crowded living environment, polluted water sources, all kinds of domestic garbage that cannot be cleaned up in time... Of course, there is uncontrolled and completely chaotic order, resulting in a large-scale plague in civilian areas!"
"Simply put, that''s it... The so-called ''basic medical care'' is just the last helpless move of the empire that couldn''t pay for the laying of sewers and elevated canals in the face of the plagued slums."
"Even the so-called ''nearly a thousand deaths and injuries'' is nonsense... According to master Lusaka kovo''s notes, the death toll in the slums at that time was at least nearly 10000, and no less than 8000!"
"When the garrison can''t block the news completely, it''s time for the whole plague to get better!" the black haired wizard slowly said:
"As for ''experimental new drugs''... Yes, it is."
"For the pharmacist guild in the imperial capital, the plague was so large and serious that it was unheard of; in that case, without master lusak kovo, the whole guild would be completely helpless!"
"Is the new drug developed dangerous? Of course."
"Did lusack kovo and the whole pharmacist guild know that this medicine has a possibility of suffocating patients by more than a quarter? Of course."
"Did they use new drugs on patients without their knowledge? Of course."
"In addition, is there any way to save these poor people suffering from the plague?"
In a dead silence, Loren''s tone was extremely determined:
"Of course... No!"
"On the premise that the whole imperial capital is helpless, a brand-new medicine with a three-quarters probability to cure diseases is already very amazing and can be called a miracle!"
"Master lusack kovo, he made a very simple multiple-choice question - trade one person''s death for three people''s lives... Otherwise, all that can be left of tens of thousands of residents in the whole slum is their bones!"
With these words, the dark haired wizard with a gloomy expression sighed slightly:
"Maybe master lusack''s actions are too reckless and even without careful thinking; but under such circumstances, he has no room to think! What he is facing is a serious disaster area that will turn into countless dead bones at any time, a plague he has never been in contact with and knows nothing about the disease."
"So... As a wizard, I don''t think master Lusaka kovo was at fault in the plague!"
Loren turned and looked back at Victor Seuss on the stage, put down the scroll, stroked his chest with his left hand and bowed.
The chaotic atmosphere suddenly became very subtle.
"There is only one mistake made by Lusaka kovo..."
"That''s his ability... It''s too limited!"
