Chapter 569: The Prestigious Court of Judgment
Saul didn’t answer for a moment, he was aware of a dying man’s thirst for life, but he also understood the concerns of the people within the Sorcerer’s Tower.
Getting himself into even more trouble because of an identity used as a cover was a complete departure from his original intention.
But it was also because of Justin’s status as a fugitive from the Court of Judgment that Saul was somewhat intrigued.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he was already rooted in Lake Rhine, unlike before when he could run away if he wanted to, he likely would have taken the deal.
But now he had more things to worry about, and more restraints.
If risk and reward aren’t proportional ……
“If you don’t think the risks and rewards match, can you hear what I can pay as a reward first?”
Justin had put himself down.
Saul looked to Hope, the butler, who had returned to his side, who just smiled, with a look on his face that seemed to say, “Lord Tower Master, you can make any decision you want, and I will support it unconditionally.”
And Morton, who was still in his diary, did not speak out against it at this point.
Morton: [Master, you don’t have to worry about us at all.]
Penny, on the other hand, was coming up with bad ideas, “Brother Saul, let’s see what he’s got, if it doesn’t work, we’ll just kill and get rid of it!”
“Well ……,” Saul’s prolonged silence made Justin across the table more and more uneasy.
Since bowing down to Saul, he no longer hid his inner emotions either.
“Then let me see what all you have to give, what I want you may not have. And, even if an agreement is reached, I must state up front that you have a complicated contamination problem. Even if you pay a greater reward, I may not be able to be ten percent sure.”
“That is to say in the end, you may pay the price without being able to regain your health, and the situation may even worsen.” Saul flicked his wrist and an agreement appeared at his fingertips, “If that’s agreeable, then let’s sign a waiver first.”
When the old witch arrived in a hurry, she only saw that Saul had already embarked on his return journey, while the supposedly threatening second-ranked wizard was turning his back to the Rhine Lake, a piece of parchment clenched tightly in his hand.
“How come you don’t need me to save the day?” The old hag said with a strange smile, “But even then, the appearance fee can’t be saved.”
Appearance fee was a fresh word that came out of Saul’s mouth the last time he asked her to step in and ambush an enemy.
The old hag learned it now.
At this time, Saul’s face was still a bit agitated, and when he heard the old hag’s words, he did not show a difficult look like before, and agreed to the other party’s request in one breath.
“Ha, no problem.”
Hearing Saul agree so painfully, the old hag instantly regretted that she wanted less.
However, he was also clear that with Saul’s nature, if he were to change his mind at this time, the other party was afraid that he wouldn’t agree and would take this opportunity to take back his original promise.
The old witch had to suspiciously sweep a few eyes at the second-ranked sorcerer with his back to the Rhine Lake, unable to figure out what had made Saul so happy.
Saul, however, did not intend to tell the old witch, and he called in a few Consciousnesses once he returned to the Sorcerer’s Tower.
“I’m going to take Justin’s request and try to heal and clean him of the contamination.”
The several Consciousness Bodies looked at each other and no one spoke out against it.
Although they would make suggestions, if Saul made a decision, they would only carry it out unconditionally.
The old witch hadn’t participated in the previous discussion, and not being clear about Justin’s identity, she naturally wouldn’t object to anything.
However, she quickly understood the former situation from Saul’s next words.
“Although Justin is a sorcerer who majors in metallic, he surprisingly has several 3rd-rank dark attribute sorceries in his hands, and I can pick one at will before the formal treatment, and after the treatment – no matter what the result is – he will again let me pick one at will.”
Sol wasn’t sure how this person could have so many dark attribute sorceries in his hands, and they were 3rd rank sorceries at that?
One should know that most first-order sorcerers had only learned two or three 3rd-order sorceries that matched their own attributes.
“And he knows something about the Judgment Court. Like the Broken Wine Glass, for example.”
Ever since Saul had snatched the Judgment Court’s specialty, the Broken Wine Cup, from Mentor Guido, he hadn’t been able to find the right way to use it.
It was just able to be roughly utilized to stir up intact spirits. But the truth was that intact spirit bodies were usually much more valuable than spirit body fragments.
So it didn’t take long for this broken wine glass to be sealed away in the deepest part of his storage.
But listening to Justin, this broken wine glass actually served an important purpose, such as creating some special, glowing soul fragments.
Justin brought too many unexpected surprises to Saul, and at the same time, it also made him realize more and more that Justin’s identity was definitely not an ordinary wanted criminal, and perhaps there were deeper secrets waiting for him to dig.
So Saul finally decided to let Justin enter the Wizard Tower for treatment!
If he had let the patient stay outside the Rhine Lake like before, it would not be confidential and would also be prone to accidents that he could not control.
But if Justin was allowed to be the 1st outsider to enter the Pure Spirit Sorcerer’s Tower, Saul would also have to ensure that the other party was under their control.
“Old witch, I will arrange for Justin to stay on the 3rd floor, and will also find someone to watch him, you are mainly responsible for not letting him enter the underground floor.”
The old hag rolled her eyes and was just about to refuse when she saw Saul on the opposite side stretching out a palm.
“Deal!”
The old hag’s eyes rolled, “But I didn’t realize that the Justin out there was really the Justin I know.”
Several people looked over in surprise.
Saul even said, “You actually know the Justin out there?”
The old hag pulled out her chair and sat down, circling her legs to step on it.
“Justin, yes, he’s basically known to anyone who’s spent a few years in the Masterless Lands. An unlucky second order wizard.”
Several people were interested in hearing gossip about a second order wizard.
“He comes from an ancient family in Nefret, although the family has fallen, life can still be lived well, and every generation can produce a full-fledged sorcerer. It’s just a pity …… that his family got on a restriction order from the adjudication court overnight, and all the clansmen who failed to advance to the third order within three years have to be purged.”
Several onlooker consciousnesses looked at each other in disbelief, even Saul unconsciously clenched his fists.
“What is the restraining order of the Judgment Court? And what is the basis for their restraining order?”
Several others quietly leaned their bodies forward.
Herman couldn’t help but say, “When I used to follow the captain of a land rowing boat, I once met the Judgment Court enforcing a removal order. It was said that people who didn’t meet the requirements of the restraining order would be executed with a removal order. At that time, the one who was removed was a first-order sorcerer who wanted to hide on the ship for a while, but the captain didn’t agree. He said he didn’t dare to go against the adjudication court.”
The old witch sneered after hearing that, “Your captain is right. In this world, the only one who dares to explicitly go against the Judgment Court is the Stargate Council of Iskender. At most, add the Sky City of the Skye Islands. After all, these are the only places where two and more numbers of fourth-order wizards exist.”
“The President of the Court of Judgment is the Fourth Order Sorcerer Frim. The people there rumor him to be a god, saying that wherever there is light, there is his will.”
“Of course, I don’t believe that. But the Ruling Court really does stick its nose into a lot of things, even Ethkiper, which is completely opposed to its philosophy.”
“So even though they say on the surface that they won’t enter the Land of the Unknowns, I’m not quite convinced. At the very least they certainly don’t care about this place.”
A third-order wizard was an existence that the crowd needed to look up to, let alone a fourth-order one.
This also made the crowd very curious as to what kind of existence a fourth-order sorcerer was.
The old witch said some of what she knew.
What with Flim being in charge of the Court of Judgment single-handedly controlling the two empires of Neverwinter Nights and Auran in Nefret. The symbol of the Neverwinter Nights Empire was the Red Sea Tree that covered the entire coastline, while Auran was the land of the fishmen.
Nefret’s other empire, Black Flame, was slightly better. Because the royal family itself possessed a fourth-ranked sorcerer, the Judgment Court’s hold on it wasn’t as strong.
However, on the surface, the Black Flame Empire also had to listen to the dispatch of the Court of Judgment.
Hearing this, Saul couldn’t help but ask the question he had just asked again.
“So, what exactly is the Ruling Court ruling on? And what is the restraining order restricting?”
The old hag’s face was as heavy as water as she gazed at Saul’s young face, “You’ve asked the point …… I don’t know either.”
