Judgment
No, what a joke!
If you don't follow Maxim's request, you will die! You know, the other party's message made it very clear - as long as I fail to convey the truth to Akinbad and Hermione Granger within three days, then once the time limit passes, I should This little life was returned to Maxim again!
Yes, although she did rely on Maxim's sacrifice to save her, and she was able to get rid of the tragic ending of becoming a living corpse in time. But even so, Ida Brandt didn't want to die at all!
Rather, after experiencing an experience that was almost equivalent to death...or perhaps more terrifying than death, she didn't want to die even more.
However, at this moment when he desperately wanted to see Hermione, Akinbad refused to let her go. Not only was she stared at by more than a dozen Federation guards, almost the same treatment as Greenwald when he was arrested, but she was also asked to participate in a trial held against her.
To be honest, if Ajinbad hadn't always made a very positive impression on people, she would have been completely unable to sit still at this moment.
But... of course, even if she can't sit still, what can she do
"well."
Ida glanced back and forth at the dozen or so male and female guards inside and outside here, and then couldn't help but sigh - without the power that the Living Corpse Transformation Center had given her, she was just a girl who had just left school. Just an ordinary young witch!
With the battle in front of her, even if a cunning and experienced dark wizard came, he would probably have to sit here obediently. What else could she do
And just when Ida was feeling more and more anxious about the passage of time, suddenly, there was a dull ringing of bells outside... At twelve o'clock at noon, the opening time of the trial had finally arrived.
"Ms. Brandt, it's time to go to the back passage of the venue and wait to enter."
The next moment, a guard walked in from outside the door and came directly to Ida's side. In the opponent's hand, there was also a bunch of clanging magic shackles.
"According to regulations, the person under trial must wear shackles to restrict his movement when he goes to the trial venue for interrogation. So... I'm sorry, please cooperate!"
What the guard said was quite polite, and in fact, if she was detained normally, the shackles would have been cuffed to her hands long ago, why would she wait until now. It was probably because of such a "loose treatment" that Yida was able to sit here and wait until now.
Now, hearing the other party treat him so cautiously, Yi Da finally took the initiative to raise her hand and put the pair of bright wrists in front of the other party after hesitating for a moment.
"Click... click."
The moment the guard let go, Ida's hands suddenly fell down - these magic shackles may not seem big, but they are not light at all. If worn for a long time, it will not be an easy thing.
Ida suddenly felt a little grateful for the "preferential treatment" Ajinbad had given her before.
"Then please!"
After putting the shackles on her, the guard stepped aside slightly, then extended his hand to invite her.
"… Um."
As of now, she has no other thoughts to think about. Seeing the other party's actions, Ida stood up and walked towards the door step by step under the other party's surveillance.
The metal chains jingled against each other between his hands, which made people somewhat upset.
Not long after, she was "escorted" by more than a dozen guards and walked all the way through the corridor. She soon went around a passage that was also guarded, and arrived at a heavy door at the deepest part of the passage.
"Please wait here for a moment. Mr. President should call you in soon."
"knew."
Ida responded softly.
…
The summoning passage door in front of Ida was indeed very thick, and the four walls and all the doors of the venue seemed to have been cast with soundproofing spells, so that even if she was only one step away from the door, she was still nothing. Can't hear it.
However, in fact, if she could really hear what was going on in the venue at this moment, she would definitely be shocked, and might even make some completely opposite decisions from before.
Because the current situation in the venue is already very bad for Ajinbad.
"Isn't anyone from the Brandt family here?"
It's okay if the viewing gallery is empty. After all, even if there aren't any of those people, the trial can still go on normally. At most, the scene will look shabby.
However, if none of the relevant persons involved in the trial are present, how will the case be tried
As a witch on the far right side of the front row of the trial seat said "The court is open", the venue suddenly fell silent again, and no one knew what to say. Or, in fact, there were many people on the trial bench who came with the intention of watching indifferently or even "watching the show".
Yes, today's trial is indeed a "big show."
"Mr. President?"
The middle-aged wizard sitting next to Ajinbad couldn't help but turn around and tentatively called him after a moment of embarrassment - he was also considered one of Ajinbad's confidants and friends, although this time it was true that There was a sense of "the general trend", so that he could not help at all. Perhaps because of this, Ajinbad never asked him to do anything.
At this moment, hearing him ask again, Ajinbad shook his head slightly.
Old Ajinbad still didn't say anything, but looking at his appearance, he still didn't seem to be worried at all. He just sat firmly in the center of the trial seat with a calm expression.
More than ten seconds passed, which was not a long time, but the atmosphere was becoming more and more weird with every passing second. Finally, I saw a certain witch sitting across a seat from Ajinbad suddenly tapped the tabletop with her fingers and said calmly:
"Babajid, haven't the Brandt family been summoned? If so, the responsibility lies with you."
At this time, the person who pointed the finger at Akinbad as soon as he opened his mouth was none other than one of the two people who went to Beauxbatons to request the search, the capable deputy president of the trial, Ms. Dumitru.
Almost no one present was surprised that she would say something like this, because this was her usual work style, resolute, selfless, and quite unhuman.
"Maybe!"
To be honest, Ajinbad is not very good at dealing with the Vice Chairman of Dumitru. But usual times are normal times, and now is now... He knew about today's trial meeting.
"Although, in fact, none of the three messengers sent out in succession have returned yet, this is indeed my responsibility. But if we want to hold accountable, let's wait until the trial is over! As for now... Anyway, let the person on trial enter first!"
