Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 59 The Terrible Conclusion
The trial meeting.

There was a knock on the door of the presiding judge's office.

"Please come in."

A beautiful lady with a slim figure walked in.

"presiding judge."

Tang Zhong, who was concentrating on reviewing documents, heard this familiar voice, raised his head, looked at the other party, and finally showed a kind smile on his serious face.

"You're back? I hope you didn't run into any danger."

The only person who could be treated like this by the chief judge was his junior - Tang Yue, the judge sent to Bo City.

"No."

Tang Yue answered in a businesslike manner,

“This is the complete report of my colleagues and I’s operation in Bo City.”

"it is good."

Tang Zhong asked Tang Yue to sit down in the room first, and then he directly reviewed the latter's action report. As time went by, his brows became more and more furrowed.

after an hour.

Tang Zhong put away the documents, his tone full of self-blame.
"Alas! It was our negligence at work. Not only did we fail to discover the Black Church's conspiracy in time, but we even allowed them to commit such a crime right under our noses!"

Tang Yue also had a heavy expression on her face.
"The Black Church's conspiracy is too deeply hidden. As a judge, I have been lurking in Bo City for two years and I didn't notice their conspiracy. This is my dereliction of duty."

And it's quite tricky.

If the other party's nearly ten years of latent preparation was a long-planned plan, then launching the conspiracy the day before the Inquisition entered Bo City was a grasp of people's hearts.

After the arrest operation in Bo City was completed, the high-ranking officials of Bo City and even she thought that the Black Church would be silent for a while. They could use this window of opportunity to wait for the members of the Inquisition to move in. By then, the overall situation would be completely settled.

This mentality intensified as the arrival date of the masters of the Inquisition approached.

Then there was the sudden heavy rain, the unexpected demonic attack on the city, and...

The almost unstoppable Winged Wolf.

The entire disaster in Bo City lasted only one day, but even just one day, it caused heavy casualties and losses to Bo City. Even if Yi Canglang had not been killed, the Snow Peak Mountain front would have found it difficult to hold out until the support of the Inquisition came. According to post-war statistics, more than half of the casualties on the Snow Peak Mountain front were inflicted on that day, and it was only one step away from breaking through.

"It's not your fault."

Tang Zhong sighed.

"You went to stop Saran that day and did not let him escape and cause a bigger disaster, which was already a great achievement."

"But... is the other party really Saran?"

Faced with Tang Zhong's comfort, Tang Yue began to doubt herself and the Inquisition's original judgment. Could a person like Saran really be stopped by her, a mid-level mage?
"We don't know either."

Tang Zhong didn't pat his chest to make any promises, he just said something that didn't make him happy or angry.

"Do you know this Feather Dust Hunter?"

Just as Tang Yue was thinking about the disaster that day, Tang Zhong's question brought her back to her senses.

"Feather Dust Hunter?"

"Yes."

Tang Zhong looked at the report in his hand.
"According to your report, the Commander-level Winged Wolf was killed by the Air Slayer Commander and this Hunter together?"

"Yes."

"Any witnesses?"

"No." Tang Yue shook her head.
"This information was provided by the Zhan Kong Commander. There were no other bystanders in the battle to kill the Winged Cang Wolf."

"What level is that Feather Dust Hunter? A high-level mage?"

"No, according to the information provided by the Hunter Alliance, the opponent should be a mid-level third-level spirit seed thunder mage."

"Intermediate mage?"

Tang Zhong looked incredulous.

"A mid-level mage and a high-level mage can actually kill the Commander-level Demon Winged Wolf?"

If it weren't for his trust in Tang Yue and the trial committee's work attitude and ability, Tang Zhong would have sent the report back for rewriting.

Are commander-level demons so easy to kill?
Not to mention the mid-level spirit seed mages, even the high-level spirit seed mages are in trouble!

Besides, if you can’t win, you can just run away!
With the intelligence of the commander-level demons, if they are not fully prepared in advance, even a team of high-level wizards who are on high alert can only repel them instead of killing them.

If it hadn't been written in the report, Tang Zhong would never have believed that such a ridiculous thing could happen in the world.

"Are you sure that the Feather Dust Hunter or the Air Slayer Commander has no hidden strength?"

Tang Zhong: This is possible.

"No."

Tang Yue: I really don’t have that. Tang Zhong also gave up and said:
"It seems that this Feather Dust Hunter is quite powerful?"

"indeed."

Tang Yue said in agreement:
"According to the testimonies of many eyewitnesses, this Feather Dust Hunter single-handedly killed more than ten general-level demons during the Bo City incident, and it was quite quick and efficient."

"More than ten warriors?"

Tang Zhong did not question it after hearing this. After all, this was much simpler and more reasonable than killing the demon leader.

but……

"Aren't there any detailed details about the battle between the Air Zhankong Commander and the Feather Dust Hunter and the Winged Cang Wolf?"

Tang Zhong recalled the contents of the report in his mind and frowned.

"No. According to the Zhan Kong Command, they seem to have used some methods that are not convenient for others to see."

"Oh? Could it be a forbidden technique?"

Tang Zhong said that he understood. Even if you said that you used forbidden techniques, it was much more credible than a team of high-level and mid-level mages hunting down the commander!
As for the use of forbidden techniques not complying with regulations?

It's easy to talk without any pain in the waist. If you have the guts, let the person who is talking use a combination of intermediate and advanced levels to kill the demon leader and show him.

Who among those who work in a special department like the Inquisition all year round doesn't know some "reasonable" means beyond the regulations of the Magic Association?
When facing a brutal enemy, you must be even more brutal than the enemy.

"Has the identity of this hunter been ascertained?"

Tang Zhong began to ask questions that concerned him greatly.

First of all, it is certain that the identity of this "Yuchen" hunter cannot be verified.

The other party is the type that suddenly appeared, has no background, is powerful, and keeps his whereabouts secret. If this kind of person has high emotional intelligence, he can be called a mysterious master. If he has low emotional intelligence, he can be called a socially unstable element. The trial will naturally need to investigate the other party's identity.

In Tang Zhong's opinion, it should be a piece of cake to find out the identity of a hunter, but he did not expect Tang Yue to give a disappointing answer.

"No."

Tang Yue's tone was filled with apology.

"The other party showed up in Bo City two years ago. After that, he was active for a period of time, but rarely interacted with others. There is no corresponding contact person in the contact information provided by the Hunter Alliance, so we have no way to investigate."

"The only thing we know is that the other party has a close relationship with Military Control Commissioner Zhan Kong."

"Zhan Kong knows his true identity, but is unwilling to tell us."

"why?"

Tang Zhong is very strange, but it is just an identity. It just needs to be filed here at the trial meeting and will not be leaked.

Moreover, as long as the case is filed, relying on the other party's contribution in the Bocheng incident, they are fully qualified to gain the friendship of the Trial Council to a certain extent and obtain corresponding conveniences in the future, which is something that even many forces covet.

Zhan Kong couldn't possibly be unaware of this. What on earth was the reason that prompted the other party to refuse to tell the truth?

Could this person be some extremely evil wanted criminal?

But how could this be possible? Tang Zhong directly denied this answer in his heart.

As a military commander, Zhan Kong is a qualified and upright military magician, both in the archives and according to Tang Yue's intelligence. Although he has a somewhat eccentric personality, he is definitely not the kind of scum who harbors fugitives.

That's it.

Tang Zhong gave up without giving it much thought. Judging from the destruction of the Black Church's stronghold and the Bo City incident, the other party should not be that kind of evil wizard.

If he really had other intentions, it would be hard to understand why he would rather give up the opportunity to get acquainted with an official organization like the Inquisition and hide his identity.

"Since the Zhan Kong Command is willing to endorse that Feather Dust Hunter, then our Inquisition does not need to get to the bottom of it."

"So as not to discourage the heroes."

"clear."

"Okay, you should rest for a while before preparing for the next mission."

"clear."

Tang Yue breathed a long sigh of relief after leaving the office and walking into the corridor.

Colleagues in the trial believed that Tang Yue had been in Bo City for two years and was more familiar with the situation, so they gave her the task of investigating the identity of the Feather Dust Hunter.

And she did have some guesses.

Although Zhan Kong insisted on not revealing the true identity of the Feather Dust Hunter, how could Tang Yue not have noticed anything after staying in Bo City for two years?
Zhan Kong had a very good relationship with the hunter, even better than with his subordinates at the Snow Peak Mountain Post, but no one had ever heard of Zhan Kong having any friends.

Two years ago, the mysterious hunter Yu Chen appeared. He quickly advanced from an entry-level hunter to an elite hunter, and the difficulty of completing tasks also increased rapidly, indicating that his strength increased rapidly in two years. It can be seen that he has outstanding talent, but his strength is only at the intermediate level, and he is most likely a young man.

The fact that he has been active in the Bo hunter circle for the past two years suggests that his activities are limited to this small town.

In Bo City, he is a very talented young man who has a close relationship with Zhan Kong. His activities are limited to Bo City.

If these characteristics were given to someone in a certain circle, they would probably be able to immediately give an answer that meets the requirements.

But Tang Yue didn't dare to be sure of this terrible conclusion. Is there really someone in the world who can practice at such a terrifying speed?
