Versatile Mage: Ten Thousand Fires Surrender

Chapter 123 Sorry to Miss
Coming to the Tribunal, the security here is not as lax as in a nursing home. The identity of anyone who enters or exits must be verified repeatedly before entering.

However, Ling Xiuyuan felt that such security measures were completely unnecessary.

After all, he really couldn't think of anyone who would be so brain-dead that he would go to the trial meeting to wreak havoc. This is no longer bold and not afraid of death. It is definitely lack of heart and does not want to live.

Any trainee judge inside is an intermediate-level starter, and beginners are embarrassed to meet people in it, and there are many elite judges with high ranks, not to mention that there are many super-ranked bosses sitting in charge.

Not to mention anything else, just the chief and deputy judges are definitely two super mages.

Walking into the trial meeting, Ling Xiuyuan asked for directions twice before finding the location of Nighthawk's office.

After finding the location, he knocked on the door, and Ling Xiuyuan pushed the door open and walked into the office.

Nighthawk was sitting at the table looking at a document. After hearing the movement, he raised his head and turned his gaze to the door.

"Here you go, sit down first." Seeing that Ling Xiuyuan had arrived, Yeying greeted him, then looked down at the document in his hand.

Ling Xiuyuan sat down as he said, looked around the office, and said with some admiration: "Is the treatment of the judge so good, and there is an independent office!"

"How is it possible?" Nighthawk couldn't help laughing, raised his head and explained to Ling Xiuyuan.

"There are very few judges like me who have an independent office. We are all the kind of reserve talents who have already accumulated enough credits and reached the high level of cultivation. As long as the conditions are met, we will be promoted immediately."

"As long as we break through to the super level, where there is a vacancy for the presiding judge position, the higher up will immediately let us fill it."

"Sometimes even when the manpower is relatively tight, before we break through the super-level, we will be arranged to be the deputy of the temporary presiding judge, and we will become regulars after the breakthrough."

"In the Trial Council, we have higher authority. Although we are on the same level as other judges, but at special moments, when a commander is needed between the same level, we will be half a level higher than them by default and have priority command authority."

"And other ordinary judges, even high-ranking ones, will not receive this kind of treatment."

Unexpectedly, after Ling Xiuyuan heard what he said, Fan Fei didn't show any surprise, but looked at him with a strange look. The emotion in that look seemed to be... pity?

Ling Xiuyuan was indeed pitying him, because in Ling Xiuyuan's impression, in the original work, he was not promoted to become the presiding judge until a period of time after the national competition.

Of course, the possibility of his memory being wrong is not ruled out. After all, his role in the original work disappeared in the middle of the novel, and he never appeared in the later stage. As a result, Ling Xiuyuan only remembered this one person, and he couldn't remember the specific setting clearly.

Of course, he also suffered a bit from his gender. If it was a beautiful woman, Ling Xiuyuan would not mind spending a little effort to deepen his impression of this character.

For example, Liman, Mochizuki Chisun, Oluna, and Li Yu'e in the original work don't have many roles, but Ling Xiuyuan can still remember some of their cultivation bases, personalities, and settings for the beautiful supporting roles that have appeared once or twice. !
Putting other thoughts behind him, Nighthawk asked: "Your elder sister told me that you seem to have found a person who seems to be the Black Vatican. Where is he now?"

"In a private nursing home, that person's name is Fu Tianming." Ling Xiuyuan replied quickly.

"Okay, we have other things to deal with recently, and you may need to watch him alone." Nighthawk raised the document in his hand.

Ling Xiuyuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking: "No, I was watching someone. You called me over and told me to let me watch alone. What's the point of letting me come back?" where?"

"I'll go through the formalities for you so that your actions can be justified!" Nighthawk said as a matter of course.

Ling Xiuyuan rolled his eyes, stood up, turned around and left.

Just as he was about to go out, the cry of nighthawks came from behind him.

"Wait, wait, don't be in such a hurry, I really have something to ask you to come back, and the formalities are just incidental, at least listen to what I have to say before you leave..."

Ling Xiuyuan turned his head impatiently, he just wanted to go back quickly, what if someone from the Black Vatican passed by while he was not there, what should he do if he missed it?
"You take a look at the information first."

With that said, Nighthawk rummaged through the table for a while before finding a folder and handing it to Ling Xiuyuan.

Opening the folder, the first thing Ling Xiuyuan saw was the thick stack of photos inside the folder.

Poured all the photos on the table and looked through them one by one, and he found that these photos were all about a group of people.

Although this group of people have Asian faces, the details of the eyes and facial contours are still somewhat different from those of the Chinese people, more like those from Southeast Asia.

"This is?" Ling Xiuyuan looked up at Nighthawk and asked.

He vaguely remembered that in the original book, it seemed that a few Southeast Asians did appear, but there was no more after that.

Nighthawk just raised his hand and gestured towards the folder.

"That's what I just told you. It's the things that have stuck our hands and feet. Our main energy now is on them."

"In short, you read the information inside first, and then I will add some other information to you."

Ling Xiuyuan lowered his head and took out the information in the folder, and began to flip through it.

The information mainly includes the identity information, cultivation level, etc. of these people. The leader of these people is the young master of a gang in the three-way zone in Thailand and Myanmar, and several followers are middle-level mages. The rest is about that gang. Some simple information.

After reading it, Ling Xiuyuan turned his head to look at Ye Ying, wanting to hear why he made him come here specially to read these materials.

Seeing Ling Xiuyuan's inquiring gaze, Yeying didn't hold back, and started to explain to him.

"You have also seen the identities of these people in the information, but the issue of identities is not the main reason why they are targeted by us. Their small gang is not worthy of our attention."

"The main reason why they were targeted was that they had some contacts with the Black Vatican. The fountain of violence that the Black Vatican used to trigger the disaster in Bo City, after our verification, most of the raw materials were made by them. people transshipment of materials into the country.”

"This time, they hid their identities and smuggled into the country. According to our judgment based on the intelligence from various channels, they should want to complete a handover with the members of the Black Vatican again."

"After they got off the plane, due to the negligence of the trackers, we temporarily lost their whereabouts. The only thing that is certain is that they have not yet completed the handover with the Black Vatican."

"That's why we, the Trial Council of Shanghai, sent a large number of judges to search them, and we must find them before they complete the handover."

"We must ensure that when they complete the handover with the Black Holy See, they will arrest both parties in time, so that they will not have the opportunity to transfer the handover items."

"The chief judge has issued a death order. These people must be kept together with the members of the Black Vatican. If there is any resistance, they will be killed!"

"You also remember to pay attention to their whereabouts in normal times, and report to us immediately if you encounter them."

Listening to the last eight murderous words, Ling Xiuyuan knew in his heart that the high-level executives of the trial meeting should be really angry this time.

Originally, those people transferred the raw materials of the Fountain of Violence to the Black Vatican, which indirectly caused the disaster in Bo City.

At that time, the main energy of the Tribunal should have been spent on hunting down the members of the Black Vatican, so they couldn't allocate energy to troubleshoot these accomplices.

Now these people actually smuggled into the country directly, planning to complete a handover with the Black Vatican again!
This is simply slapping the high-level members of the Judgment Council in the face, asking them if it hurts after the slap, and dancing a dance in front of them to mock them.

Besides, after they handed over a batch of materials to the Black Vatican last time, the Black Vatican created a disaster in Bo City. Let them complete the handover this time, who knows what kind of moth the Black Vatican will make!

Generally speaking, Ling Xiuyuan has probably sorted out the whole matter, but he still has one question.

"Since you lost track of them, why are you sure they haven't completed the handover with the Black Vatican?" Ling Xiuyuan asked curiously.

Nighthawk smiled and said: "Although we lost those people, we are still watching the movements of the Black Vatican. Otherwise, why do you think we judged that those people came to trade with the Black Vatican?"

Ling Xiuyuan slapped his head, he was also stupid, it is impossible for the Tribunal not to keep an eye on the movement of the Black Vatican.

Their manpower is so tight now, probably not only because of the need to investigate the whereabouts of the group of Southeast Asians, but also partly because they need to separate manpower to monitor the members of the Black Holy See who are operating outside.

If it wasn't for the leaders of the Black Vatican hiding too deep, the Judgment Council wanted to catch those big fish, it is estimated that the Black Vatican in the magic capital would have been uprooted long ago.

"Okay, I'll pay attention to those people. I'll make up the formalities later. I have to go back and keep an eye on me. It's bad if I miss something!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly walked out of the office without waiting for Nighthawk to persuade him to stay.

-

And when Ling Xiuyuan and Yeying were discussing in the trial meeting, a man in gray robe who looked strange in both his attire and behavior walked into Fu Tianming's ward that Ling Xiuyuan had been staring at.

"Fu Tianming, open your eyes, I have something to ask you." A hoarse voice came from under the gray robe.

As the gray-robed man's voice fell, Fu Tianming's eyelids trembled, and Yoyo woke up from his sleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the man in gray robe standing beside the bed. He was almost frightened to death. When he regained his composure and saw the person coming, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"My lord priest!"

The gray-robed man didn't pay attention to Fu Tianming's exclamation. His head, hidden in the shadow of the gray-robed hood, slowly lowered, and he stared at Fu Tianming with a somewhat cold gaze.

"Fu Tianming, let me ask you, have you been exposed?"

The man's deep and hoarse voice reached Fu Tianming's ears, coupled with the cold gaze cast from his hood, Fu Tianming felt a little uncomfortable all over.

He felt as if there was a poisonous snake on his body. He was spitting out a snake letter on his chest, and staring at him with cold eyes. He might pounce on him at any time and bite his throat, tearing his throat to shreds!

He forced a smile and said, "No, my lord, how is it possible..."

"Fu Tianming, let me ask you again, have you been exposed?" the man asked coldly.

"No, I can swear on my life. When the school asked, I just said that I held a grudge because he took all the public resources and wanted to ambush him there to teach him a lesson."

"And because I only intended to test him, and I didn't use the few black beasts you gave me, and I didn't reveal anything about this religion at all, the school won't find out anything."

Fu Tianming said in a hasty tone, with that expression, that gesture, if it wasn't for the inconvenient movement, he would probably kneel down directly, and then swear to the sky with one finger.

The gray-robed man just stood there staring at him, not sure whether he believed it or not.

"Hmph, you better not be exposed!"

The gray-robed man chose to believe him in the end. After all, the gray-robed man couldn't think of anything, and some people would doubt the reason for Fu Tianming.

"Tell me all the information you know. The key point is the cultivation base of the target. Don't miss any information such as combat power."

The hoarse voice of the man in gray robe sounded again in the ward, but this time, for some reason, there was a hint of madness added to the hoarse voice.

Fu Tianming quickly told all the information he knew about Mo Fan, as well as Mo Fan's performance that night.

After speaking, he hesitated for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "My lord, it seems that there was a second person who shot that night. There may be someone around the target who is secretly protecting him."

The gray-robed man was refreshed when he heard this.

"What's going on, you experienced everything in person that night, and now you actually use such an ambiguous tone to express this information."

Fu Tianming hesitated for a while, and then opened his mouth in a low voice when he saw the grey-robed man's eyes getting worse and worse.

"I was knocked unconscious at the end that night, but I feel that the person who knocked me out should not be the target, but another person!"

Hearing this sentence, the gray-robed man was shocked.

He fixed his gaze on Fu Tianming, and said harshly, "Can you guarantee the authenticity of your information?"

"If what you said is true, then it proves that there are other forces that have initially controlled our whereabouts and learned of our plan, and sent people to the target to protect him in advance!"

Fu Tianming lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "My lord priest, I'm really not sure if there was a second person present that night, but why don't you report this matter to the lord above you, and let him make the final decision?" ?”

"Hmph, trash! What use are you for?" The gray-robed man cursed angrily, seeing that he could not ask any more information, he turned and walked out of the ward.

After the gray-robed man walked out of the nursing home, he turned into a dark alley. After he stepped into this alley, several hideous figures with limbs touching the ground sprang out from the shadow of the alley, accompanying him to the left and right. He walked slowly.

These figures are the unique creature of the Black Vatican - the Dark Beast. This kind of creature is said to be refined from half human and half corpse. It can be said to be the dirtiest, ugliest and most pathetic thing in this world!
And when Ling Xiuyuan returned to the sanatorium, felt the restlessness of the red lotus fire, and came here according to the feeling, the gray-robed man had already gone away.

Only the black footprints on the ground and the lingering stench in the air remained.

"Damn! The trace of the black beast, it's too late..." Ling Xiuyuan couldn't help cursing.

However, it is not without gain.

Thinking of this, Ling Xiuyuan turned his head and looked at Fu Tianming's ward in the nursing home.
