Chapter 587 Loren's Master of Stress Resistance

I think.

You may have forgotten someone.

When Lanqi was in the shadow world, there was another person in the real world who was in dire straits every day.

Lanqi had turned off the three-week live broadcast of the shadow world and never opened it again.

Dean Loren now holds a press conference every two days, bowing five times a day on average. In most of the photos in the newspaper, he looks like he has sweat on his forehead and is desperate.

Today is the 28th day that Lanqi Wilford and Hyperion Alansal, students of the Sage Academy of Ikrit Academy, and a seventh-level bread, have entered the seventh-level shadow world together.

Hutton Kingdom, the capital of Ikrit, the Old Bri Tribunal.

In this magnificent and ancient trial hall, the light from the high ceiling through the glass windows is stained with a solemn color.

The Old Bri Court was originally a criminal court established near the wall of Ikrit a hundred years ago.

Its name comes from the name of the street where it is located, Old Bri Street, which extends for a full two kilometers along the line of the ancient wall of Ikrit.

The history of the court can be traced back to at least 1605 in the solar calendar, but the current building was rebuilt in 1702. In the early days, it mainly handled cases of petty criminals, but gradually developed into a center for handling major criminal cases.

The statue of the God of Light and Law stands at the end of the hall, as if her eyes are also watching the hearing that is about to begin.

In the center of the hall.

Loren, wearing a black formal suit, a white shirt and a gold tie, with diamond-shaped cross holy patterns on the buttons and collar, stood.

His figure seemed particularly isolated.

As the center of criminal justice in the Kingdom of Hutton, the Old Bury Court is one of the most important criminal trial centers, and the cases it handles include murder, fraud, terrorism and other major crimes.

Many famous cases in history have been tried here, covering terrorists, serial killers and important political cases.

The facade of the modern Old Bury Court building is decorated with sculptures of several chief justices, representing justice, courage and wisdom. The interior of the court is decorated with traditional wooden paneling and heavy red curtains, and the trial bench is tall and authoritative.

Under normal circumstances, Loren is invited to sit on the trial bench.

Now, he is looking at the trial bench.

In the audience of the citizens, Student Union Secretary Lu Weixier put away his pen and notebook, unable to bear to continue writing.

As a reporter for the Hutton Times and a senior of Lanqi and Hyperion, she has been paying attention to the shadow world related content of Ikrit College every day recently.

The trials of this court are usually open to the public, which is an important manifestation of the transparency and fairness of the laws of the Hutton Kingdom.

Due to handling many high-profile cases, the Old Bri Court is often closely watched by the media and even becomes the focus of many overseas reports and analyses.

Lu Weixier also felt that there were reporters from other countries in the United Parliament of the Kingdom sitting beside him.

She glanced at the notebook of the reporter next to her.

I saw - "Judgment Day Revealed: Loren, the truth behind the disaster and the mystery of his fate".

Lu Weixier: "..."

Lu Weixier silently took out his notebook, crossed out the news headline he had written, and changed it to: "The Mystery of Judgment Day: The man behind the disaster - Loren, hero or sinner? His secret will shock the entire kingdom!"

The Old Bri Court and the cases it tried often appear in various literary works and dramas in the Southern Continent, such as novels and many detective dramas.

So this place has become a very good place to draw materials, not just an important landmark in the judicial history of the Kingdom of Hutton.

Finally, the bell began to ring.

The thin light and heavy atmosphere condensed into an almost touchable entity.

The wall was no longer a light-colored shelter, but a judge's face, exerting silent pressure on Loren in the center of the court.

At this hearing, opposite the semicircular hearing table, judges from various high-level departments have already taken their seats. Not only officials from the United Parliament of the Kingdom of the Southern Continent, the Shadow World Management Association, the Southern Continent Disaster Prevention Agency, the Hutton Kingdom Security Bureau and other departments, but also the dignitaries of Hutton filled the seats.

"Now the student of Ikrit Academy is walking on thin ice every step of the way. As an outsider, he has to take charge of the behemoth of the Polant Empire in the long history. The people's hearts and the parliament are like two beasts. No matter how carefully he tries to balance these two forces, he can only lose one while taking care of the other, or even lose both. There is almost no hope of improving military or financial strength in a short period of time."

The discussion in the jury echoed in the dim conference room, like the whisper of ghosts.

"There is no simple seventh-level shadow world. The solidified structure of the parliament is like an unshakable fortress. The entire Polant Empire is a cage, and the northern continent looks like a dead end."

"Student Loren may have collapsed at present and dare not open the shadow world recording program again."

The conclusions of the experts are like heavy news bombs, constantly exploding in the trial court, shocking everyone.

As the presiding judge rang the start of the meeting, these voices stopped abruptly, and a repressive silence enveloped the entire space.

Loren took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner fluctuations.

He has learned to withstand doubts.

Although there are many people who are close to him and worried about him in the trial and audience, they are only a small part and cannot withstand the storm of public opinion.

"Loren, do you know why you are standing here today? The three-week deadline has passed, and we still cannot predict the progress and failure rate of this seventh-level shadow world. As the first person responsible for an accident that may cause a major disaster , How will you be responsible for your actions?”

At the trial seat, one of the judges, the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Hutton, Duke Akares, spoke seriously.

As the head of the Hutton Kingdom's Security Bureau, he even had to suspect that Loren might be colluding with the overseas Resurrection Church organization.

Because recently, more and more evidence has proven that Duke Milaya has an inseparable connection with the Bishop of the Night, and before Duke Milaya disappeared, he had a close personal relationship with Loren.

If Duke Miriam is really the Bishop of the Night of the Resurrection Church, it is hard to believe that Loren doesn't know about it.

Loren's throat seemed to be blocked by something.

"Dear judges, I... I am well aware of my responsibilities, but please allow me to explain... I am well aware of the personal abilities of Ranch Wilford, a student. He has a unique ability in the shadow world. As early as recently, Defeated the Saint of Destruction a year ago..."

He remained calm and discussed his thoughts,

"But I promise that if any accident is really caused by Lan Qi, as his teacher, I also failed to restrain him due to negligence in my duties. Everything will be my responsibility."

Just as Loren answered, a light lit up on one side of the Tribunal, and a crystal ball-shaped magic device began to rotate, reflecting the last scene left in the Shadow World three weeks ago.

The record projection of Magical Engineering allows everyone to clearly see the final situation of the shadow world that they currently know.

"The biggest problem now is that if the Shadow World fails midway, it does not necessarily have to wait until the end of the expected forty-five days to fail to meet the success conditions and cause a natural disaster. In these three weeks, every day may suddenly occur because of this seventh-order shadow world. A natural disaster occurs due to the world's failure. Loren, can you really bear this responsibility?"

Duke Akares asked.

Now not only Loren, who is in the same camp as Loren, or many senior officials of the Hutton Kingdom are under the same huge pressure from the outside world.

The citizens in the audience held their breath and exchanged glances from time to time. Their expressions changed from doubt to thinking, and from thinking to confusion.

"I am always ready to do my best to make up for any mistakes, and I will not evade any responsibility."

Loren's voice echoed in the hall, and every word he spoke seemed to be fighting against fate.

In this hearing that was both a trial and a defense, every word such as truth, responsibility, and redemption became extremely heavy.

As the sun fully rose, the hearing held in the early morning finally came to an end.

When the hearing came to an end for the first time, everything fell silent again.

Loren slowly walked down the hearing stage. At this moment, he looked more tired than after fighting the Cardinal, as if he was numb.

Even the Ice Witch, who was disguised as a citizen in the audience, couldn't help but feel sorry for Loren.

These days, she has been staying at the Temple of the Goddess of Destiny in Icerita, meeting Loren without looking up.

She couldn't bear to put any more pressure on Loren.

Even though she was worried about Hyperion every day these days, the thought of her missing Ice Witch in the seventh-level shadow world made her toss and turn, and she couldn't sleep with worry.

But at the moment, she just felt that this guy looked too honest and pitiful.

No matter how the powerful people made things difficult for him, he was trying to find a way to carry it all by himself and convince the world with his sincerity.

Totally a good old guy.

wrong.

The Ice Witch frowned.

The manipulation of people's hearts in the Northern Continent and the crazy last words to destroy the Holy Son have already revealed the flaws in Loren's plan.

If you think about it carefully, if Loren is really the mastermind behind the scenes, his ability to endure humiliation and his flawless acting skills are completely in line with his overall view.

Assuming... all this is what Loren expected, and he knows that everything will be reversed in the future, then...

The Ice Witch couldn't help feeling a chill on her back and hugged herself.
