MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 464 462. Grand Trial
Chapter 464 462. The Great Judgment
The next day, which is the first day of November.
Fox suddenly appeared in Iniesta's office early in the morning. It brought nothing, but just stared straight at the newly established interim minister of the French Ministry of Magic after the apparition landed. .
And after receiving Fox's gaze, Iniesta also seemed to know exactly what he was going to do.
He took a deep breath and stood up from his chair.
"Go back, I know what to do."
So, on November 1st, both the British wizards of the Order of the Phoenix and the French wizards of the French Ministry of Magic were all organized in the Wuping Line!
The "Starlight Newspaper", which is a special means of publicity within the Wuping Line, also received Dumbledore's order and delayed the release of this morning's daily newspaper. Instead, it printed a batch of new newspapers before noon, and then put them on sale. To all the wizards who should have received it this morning.
Before lunch, almost all the wizards staying in France saw the bold and black headline on the front page of "Starlight".
【A trial from the public! 】
The content of this report is not long, it just uses the most concise words to describe one thing, which will start tomorrow.
After the end of the Triwizard Tournament and the complete recovery of all the cities in France, those who have only dealt with a small part, most of them were temporarily detained in wizard prisons, all kinds of thugs who supported blood theory and practiced it We are finally about to accept the final judgment.
This trial for the public will start tomorrow in the conference hall in the French Ministry of Magic where Voldemort once declared to be the French Minister of Magic. This is a completely transparent conference room, allowing everyone who comes to the French Ministry of Magic Can watch anything that happens inside.
Even wizards who have no way to come to the Ministry of Magic in person can tune in to the broadcast in the wizard-exclusive frequency band at home and witness the trial through the radio.
Many wizards will only feel excited after hearing this news.
Those scum who want to create inequality and use their illusory bloodlines to oppress will finally pay the price they deserve!
And there is still a small group of people who obviously smelled something different about the public trial that had been held on a trial basis in Hogwarts before, but it took so long to start in the French magic circle.
There is no need to prepare anything in advance for the public trial, as long as the public can participate in the trial, it will be successful.
But Dumbledore and the others had never shown signs of launching a public trial before. Instead, it was already November, and the public trial was about to start without making any noise.
This obviously reveals a kind of unusualness.
But no matter whether you feel the special significance of this trial or not, the next morning, this trial came as scheduled.
On the morning of November 2nd, apart from the employees of the Ministry of Magic, who also had to ensure the basic operation of the French magic world, all other wizards gathered in this transparent meeting room that was once used to hold parliamentarian meetings.
All the high-level officials of Wuping Line have already gathered here, and on the high platform directly in front where everyone can see, a brand new gallows has been erected!
Except sitting at the front, Dumbledore Iniesta, who is the presiding judge of this public trial, and other managers of Wupingxian, all other seats at the back can be seated by whoever comes first, even if there is no one around. If you have enough space, you can just stand on both sides. If there is no space on both sides, you can also gather outside the glass conference room. If you can’t squeeze into the innermost part of the conference room, you can no longer see the wizard at the public trial. You can also hear it through the wizard broadcast. The voice of the public trial scene.
In short, as long as there are people who come here, there will always be various ways for them to witness this trial.
Jon also came to the scene of the public trial. As the biggest contributor to the victory of the Triwizard Tournament, he is of course qualified to sit at the forefront, next to Dumbledore.
And the host of the public trial in the French magic circle is none other than Iniesta himself as a minister.
"No one in this world can guarantee that they will not make mistakes, but there are some mistakes that we as human beings should never make!"
The amplifying spell spread his voice throughout the venue of the public trial meeting. At the same time, his opening remarks were heard in various places in France, and even in some places in Europe that paid attention to the internal situation in France.
"For their own self-interest, some people put forward the theory that the so-called pure blood of wizards is superior! They artificially divided us into three, six, and nine classes, and turned themselves into masters, so as to gain absolute power! This is the root cause of war. But even if black and white can be reversed, even if justice can be trampled on, there are still some truths that they can never distort! Let us expose these hypocritical faces that whitewash ourselves and oppress, Face up to everything we have encountered in the past two years, publish all the evil deeds of the criminals who created this war that should not have happened, and then hand it over to all of you for trial. This is the meaning of our gathering here today! "
His voice was sonorous and powerful, not only allowing everyone present to hear his speech, but also enough to mobilize everyone's suppressed hearts that had not yet been repaired by the short-lived peace.
There were cheers and applause around, and Iniesta didn't have any more tirade.
At this time, no matter how many words are spoken, it is not as touching as the **** reality!
And although France fell into Voldemort's hands for a short period of time, less than two years, the theory of blood was still extremely damaging to this originally stable and stable magical society, so wizards were locked up in prisons and waited. There are not a few criminals on trial.
With the previous public trial experience held at Hogwarts, it is not difficult to carry out this trial for the public, because this most straightforward and simple act of showing evil in the eyes of the general public does not require any It is only necessary to bring the evil deeds that these people have done and those who have been persecuted to the stage and tell them all. That is what this trial should do.
Although Jon missed the public trial in Hogwarts, he did not miss this time in the French wizarding world.
The first people who were brought to the high stage were those MPs who were willing to be his lackeys for the sake of profit when Voldemort became the Minister of Magic of France at the beginning.
These people have all been screened, and many of them said at the beginning that they were wronged, and they chose to support Voldemort not out of willingness, but because of Bella's Imperius Curse.
But in this kind of matter, of course Wu Pingxian will not use Legilimency or Veritaserum on them out of humanitarian reasons. As long as these two methods continue to be used, then ask them if they are lying about what they just said. Whether the behavior is sincere or not, all the cover-ups will be futile.
Among these people, there are many different situations.
Part of it was to actively choose to stand with Voldemort from the very beginning, causing the whole of France to fall into blood oppression, and part of it was indeed controlled by the Imperius Curse, doing things that they didn't want to do at all.
Among them, there are still the most people, who were controlled by the Imperius Curse at the beginning, and made actions to support Voldemort, but later the Imperius Curse against them was lifted, and they were forced by the actions they had already taken. , coupled with the benefits and power brought to them in the early days of Voldemort's coming to power, the idea of making them change has changed from forced to voluntary at the beginning.
Except for those people who were really controlled by the Imperius Curse from beginning to end, these people were brought to the high platform of judgment in the other two situations!
The first person to come to power was an official who had followed Bella and had been recruiting hemp seeds and mixed-blood wizard talents for her.
He could almost be said to be the first person in the entire French Ministry of Magic to know Bella's true identity, and he was also the first French wizard who willingly surrendered to Voldemort.
In private, according to Bella's request, this person relied on Bella's usual wizard magistrate pretending to be "Roland" to support the scam of the hemp seed, so as to continuously recruit excellent hemp seed wizards, and then either kill them directly or send them to England Slaves, or be tortured to death by various means!
This person knew from the beginning that the crime he committed would definitely lead to death. He tried to commit suicide many times since he was caught by Wu Pingxian. He was afraid that he would be punished and tortured later, so he could not seek death. As a result, All were stopped.
And this public trial for all wizards in France is much more radical than the one piloted in Hogwarts.
Instead of other people preaching the crimes of the criminals who are being tried, they are given Veritaserum from the very beginning, so that they can answer questions on the high platform!
And when the official who was Bella's accomplice and abettor gave out the names of all the people he had killed and stated their tragic ending, the whole scene completely boiled up!
It is only limited to words or summaries of things passed down by others. After all, it still can't really make people feel any feelings. Only when the person who has done these evil things speaks out all the things himself, expresses bloodyly the compatriots he betrayed, kills Young people full of ideals and vigor, all these are done for the sake of better enjoyment for themselves. Only after a higher status can people have that trembling feeling that rises from the bottom of their hearts.
It turns out that there is really no limit to how bad people can be. It turns out that some people do not have the slightest psychological burden and pressure to commit these evil deeds that can make people feel scalp-numbing.
Just like the public trial at Hogwarts, the first person to be brought in this trial for the whole of France was also the choice of Iniesta and the others after careful consideration.
The loud noises continued to rise and fall around the meeting. On the high platform, not only the prisoner's own statement, but also the grieving and crying of the families whose children were cheated by him.
The most touching scene in the world is this. Before Iniesta finally started to let everyone present to conduct a trial and vote, all kinds of voices that don't let him die so easily are heard in various places in the venue. ringing everywhere!
Through Veritaserum, everyone present heard that the former official of the French Ministry of Magic is not actually afraid of death. He has tried to understand his own life many times in prison. What he is really afraid of is that he will experience it. The kind of torture that is worse than death!
Since he is afraid of something, the public judgment will give him something.
After everyone present raised their wands and voted with the tip of the wands flashing different colors of light, the official was finally determined to suffer 27 Cruciatus Curse punishments!
Each Cruciatus Curse is a life he persecuted to death, and in the end, even if his willpower surpasses all others and survives these 27 Cruciatus Curses, he will still be hanged on the gallows.
After being sentenced, all the executions started on the spot!
The 27 Cruciatus Curse will be used by 9 members of Wu Pingxian in turn. This kind of torture that directly hits the human soul has been spurned by normal wizards before, and they are unwilling to watch the magic world openly use it.
But this time, no one frowned or had objections. Instead, after the first Cruciatus curse fell on the official, and he screamed in pain, the cheers became more intense, and even It seems that the ceiling is going to be overturned!
No one can withstand so many Cruciatus Curse.
Just after the 5th Cruciatus Curse was cast, the official's eyes were already rolled up, and he lay motionless on the ground as if he had lost his soul. Only his heavy breathing still showed that he was still alive.
But since it was agreed to be 27 rounds, it is impossible to miss even one round.
Until the 13th round, he had completely stopped breathing, was tortured to death by such punishment, and died under what he feared most.
But the remaining 14 Cruciatus Curse still fell on his body according to the result of the trial. Now that the judgment has been determined, it must be executed in place, regardless of whether the person being executed is still alive or not.
This is one thing that Dumbledore and Iniesta wanted to make clear to everyone in the first public trial, and it was also the main tone they set.
Jon was sitting in the front row, so he could clearly see the fat pig-like official fell to the ground from the beginning, and his body trembled violently every time he was subjected to Cruciatus Curse, until he was completely gone in the back Changes in interest.
Maybe in the future, after they have won all the victories, someone will turn over this account and complain about the inhumanity of this punishment.
But in the face of things that have lost their humanity and cannot be called human, inhumane means are the most humane response to those victims.
