"Don't worry, the main purpose of this trial is actually to pave the way for the final trial of Mrs. Flint..."
"Oh, by the way! After a while, your friend will be released directly, and then the interrogation team will immediately enter the Flint family's court proceedings and announcement in the adjacent ninth courtroom... Although due to sufficient evidence, None of you need to testify in court, but if you want to sit in, I can take you to the jury box."
When leading Pansy to take the elevator to the dungeon, Kingsley casually explained the process.
But of course, these things actually have nothing to do with Pansy. Kingsley mainly told them to Martin who was following him invisibly.
From what he said, Martin could roughly judge the situation in the courtroom and further adjust a more realistic rescue plan.
After all, you must know that there is only a corridor between the dungeon and the trial room. If you don't time your action well and bump into the Wizengamot Inquisition Team who are changing the trial room, it will obviously be very embarrassing.
And just behind Kingsley, Pansy listened and suddenly asked deliberately:
"Then... what about the lady named Muriel? Since Iluli needs to be tried in court, she must also be arraigned, right?"
"Her?"
Kingsley shrugged and said without looking back:
"Although that lady was also arrested by mistake, during the subsequent investigation, we found that she was selling prohibited potions and black magic materials privately. Currently, my people are continuing to collect relevant evidence about her, and the interrogation process still needs to be It will not proceed until the evidence is in place.”
"Oh! Is that so?" Pansy nodded, "But I heard from Eluli before that Miss Muriel doesn't seem to be a bad person - she is very enthusiastic and kind to others."
"Huh?" Kingsley looked back at her and then said, "Miss Parkinson, you are still young and have not experienced many things. As a 'experienced person', I have to remind you a little. Just tell me - don’t just look at people by their appearance, because what you see may just be the other person’s disguise.”
When Kingsley said such words, a tapestry beside the corridor moved slightly, but soon stopped silently.
Neither Pansy nor Kingsley noticed this detail, but even if they had seen it, they wouldn't have shown any surprise. In fact, Kingsley went out of his way to be angry with Martin, and Pansy took advantage of the opportunity to say a few nice words.
It seemed that she was becoming more and more aware of what she should do.
While the two were talking, Pansy suddenly saw the stone stairs leading to the deepest part of the underground, the dungeon and the trial room appearing in front of her. Compared with the last time I came here, it was still very quiet here, but there was an extra set of footsteps.
"Mr. Shacklebolt."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
As soon as they walked down the stairs, the two of them met the Auror who was patrolling this end. When Kingsley saw him, he immediately nodded and said hello to the other party.
"When Miss Eluli and Mrs. Flint are brought to trial later, please remember to keep an eye more closely around the eighth and ninth courtrooms - especially the latter one. That is the verdict that Mr. MacLean is particularly concerned about. Don't make any mistakes!"
"clear!"
The patrolling Auror quickly nodded in response, then gave a slight salute, turned around and continued walking to the other end.
"Let's go too!" Kingsley said to Pansy, "It's almost time. Just take your friend out and take him to the courtroom to sit down - although the environment there won't be that good, at least there will be a chair. sit."
After saying this, the two of them walked forward along the slightly dim corridor. Among their intertwined footsteps, there was also a vaguely mixed step of a third person who couldn't be lighter, making it difficult to tell whether it was an echo in the corridor or whether there was really an extra person.
When passing by Muriel's cell, Pansy, like Iluli who came before, subconsciously glanced inside.
However, Pansy, whose ability to see at night was not as good as Iluli's, could hardly see anything at the moment.
"arrive!"
Not long after, after passing through two more cell doors, Kingsley motioned to the two Aurors standing at the door:
"Open the cell door... Miss Iluli, you can come out."
"Iluli!" As the cell door opened, Pansy hurriedly stepped forward and came to the other party's side. "Mr. Shacklebolt said we can go directly to the trial room... Oh! This place is really beautiful." It’s very cold here, and I feel like I’ll catch a cold easily if I stay here for a while.”
"That's why I said, this place is not suitable for young girls like you at all - but please remember, if you come in, don't even think about escaping, even if it is an accidental arrest. This time I can have Mr. MacLean If I vouch for you, I may get a lighter sentence, but if there is another time, I will definitely be sentenced to escape from prison, and no one’s guarantee will be useful anymore.”
"Well, of course, I remember it." Iluli pursed her lips and replied softly.
"Then come with me! We have to go further into the eighth courtroom..."
…
Iluli's prison escape incident was originally a self-directed and self-acted drama, so it was not difficult to turn a big deal into a minor one.
Since the case of the Flint family was also drawn from her, if Maka was willing, he could even suggest that Scrimgeour merge the two cases into one.
And if that were the case, Iluli would become a victim who tried to report the misdeeds of the Flint family, but was imprisoned in the family detention room, and even the procedure of opening a new case could be saved.
Of course, in order to make Mrs. Flint's case clearer, there is obviously no need for Maka to do that specifically for Iluli.
However, no matter what Iluli's sentence is, it will not have any impact on what Martin will do.
He was maintaining his invisible state, watching the people leaving without saying a word. After they all opened the door of the Ninth Judgment Room under the leadership of Kingsley and entered, he turned around and looked at that person. A male Auror who patrols the underground corridors.
If he wanted to save Muriel, he had to deal with at least three Aurors, including the ranger and the watcher. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is obvious that Pansy can no longer provide help to him, and he has to do everything by himself.
"…Muriel."
After just glancing towards the cell door, Martin walked lightly towards the end of the stairs.
Although Kingsley had previously asked the inspector to go around the courtroom more often after the trial started, which was equivalent to providing an opportunity for Martin's "kindness", but he felt that it was not safe.
After sneaking to the steps of the stairs, Martin stopped temporarily and just stood against the wall, doing nothing. He saw the patrolman walking past him several times, but he had no intention of taking action.
The time for action has not yet come.
Then, less than ten minutes later, Martin suddenly heard a burst of chaotic footsteps on the stairs. Just listening to that voice, there were dozens of people.
He knew that the members of the Wizengamot who were responsible for trying the two cases today finally came down.
Accompanied by a hum of murmurs, a large group of wizards descended the steps. It can be seen that most of them communicated in a soft voice with reserved faces, and no one spoke loudly.
Martin looked at these people passing by him with an expressionless look, but what he was thinking about was his teachers Haierbo and Maka.
When he thought that most of these guys would become a bunch of soft-legged shrimps in front of McClane, or teacher Halper... or even Dumbledore in the past, he who once had ideals in his heart became a little uninterested.
There is no doubt that in the modern magical world, almost every young wizard who has lofty ambitions will first think of working in the Ministry of Magic. And Martin, who was still a student at Hogwarts, was naturally no exception.
But now, he doesn't want to admit that he still has that ridiculous past.
"Sure enough, the teacher's philosophy is correct. In the magic world, only strength is the foundation of everything." Martin watched the members of the Wizengamot Inquisition Team walking in and thought to himself, "Wait a minute... After Li'er is taken away, I'd better go back and continue to follow the teacher! Even if I may be punished, I don't want to live in such a mess all my life."
When the group of wizards and witches that Martin despised poured into the courtroom, Martin silently raised the wand he was holding tightly in his hand and pointed wordlessly at the patrolling Auror who was walking this way.
"The soul leaves the body."
Reciting a spell silently is not an easy task, especially a spell as difficult as the three unforgivable curses. However, Martin has the ability to cast the silent soul-stealing curse.
Being hit directly by the Imperius Curse at a very close distance, even the thick-skinned Hagrid could not withstand it. Even if the Auror's willpower was quite good, he could only look away after a brief struggle. .
When Martin saw this, he waved his stick again, and then followed the other person towards the cell where Muriel was held.
There were two Aurors on duty, but he was far from capable of controlling more than two people at the same time—should he simply kill the two by surprise, or use other means to control them? He also needs to depend on the situation.
To be honest, in order to ensure a safer and smoother exit afterwards, it is obviously better not to kill anyone if possible.
Martin controlled the patrolling Auror in front and approached the two guards step by step. In this tense atmosphere, even he couldn't help but secretly hold his breath.
It's almost there.
