In the square!
Everyone was completely stunned.
His eyes were fixed on the ordinary wizard in front of him, and on the immense spiritual power emanating from him that could not be ignored.
Ian?
student?
Senior brother?
The group struggled to put these things together, feeling an unprecedented shock to both their bodies and minds.
Ian is actually a student of Houghton?
Everyone felt their breath catch in their throat!
"How is that possible? How could he be Horton's student!"
On the other side, Gabriel stared blankly at Ian in the distance, and at Horton, who was both strange and familiar, not far away.
He didn't understand at all.
How could things have changed like this?
How did Ian, a potions specialist, end up being taken on as a disciple by Horton?
Fear spread through my heart.
In an instant, he realized that all his plans were useless, simply because this was the Horton School of Wizardry.
And Horton is the king here.
This time, we've really hit a brick wall.
Not only him, but everyone else's gaze also completely changed, and the way they looked at Ian also changed completely.
"Is this all you're relying on?"
Vivian finally understood what gave Ian his confidence.
It wasn't Willow, it was Horton.
"Good lad!"
Ed's eyes lit up, as if he had seen something new.
Layton and Jolan exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise and delight in each other's eyes.
By a twist of fate, it seems they made the right bet.
As for the other wizards on the judging panel, their faces were ashen, as if they had drunk poison.
The network of relationships that had once controlled the academy now proved so fragile and powerless before Horton and before true power.
And then walk further out.
The trainees all looked grim, with Lucy staring at Ian in terror.
How could she imagine?
Ian, whom her family had looked down upon and whom she had repeatedly abandoned, had now become Horton's disciple.
"How could this happen?"
She stubbornly bit her lip, but her body trembled helplessly.
Logan and his two companions exchanged glances in the crowd.
really.
Ian was never a reckless person.
"No wonder you dared to come back; you kept it from me so well."
Li Wei grinned.
With that background, he wasn't afraid. And as expected of Ian, he was actually valued by Horton.
"Father, is Ian alright?"
At this moment, Chris also turned to look at Chance.
Chance squinted and nodded: "He's fine, but some people are in for a rough time."
Who's going to be unlucky?
Chris was puzzled.
He turned his head and continued to look at the field.
"Lord Horton objects; the jury will vote again!"
Willow seemed to have expected this, and turned her gaze back to the jury, who were now sitting on pins and needles.
"I agree that he/she is innocent!"
A wizard from the Department of Mystic Sources raised his hand.
"I am an excellent wizard like Ian, how could I kill someone for no reason?"
"Thomas wasn't a good person to begin with."
Then, the other wizards quickly raised their hands and cursed Thomas, fearing that Horton would blame them.
"I wonder what Lord Gabriel thinks?"
Willow then turned to look at Gabriel.
Gabriel's legs were already weak, but he still forced a smile and said, "There must be a misunderstanding here. If it really is Thomas, no, it must be Thomas's fault, I also agree that Ian is innocent."
Willow nodded, then looked towards the square.
The voice was loud and clear.
"The jury unanimously agrees that Ian is innocent."
No one present was surprised by this.
But just when everyone thought it was over, they saw Willow's gaze turn to Ian again.
"Ian, you can go now."
Gabriel was also preparing to leave, but Willow stopped him.
"This is?"
Gabriel looked at Willow.
Then Willow slowly stepped down from the stage, took out a scroll, looked at him and said, "Next, here is another accusation against Lord Gabriel."
"I?"
At this moment, Gabriel's expression had completely changed.
"This accusation alleges that during your years in office, you illegally profited yourself, amounting to thousands of magic stones and various precious resources. The accuser is Lord Horton. What are your thoughts on this?"
Willow looked at Gabriel.
He swung the reel over.
Gabriel glanced at it for a few seconds, and his whole body started to tremble.
He finally understood.
Today's event was a setup specifically designed to target him.
Willow and Horton were the ones who set up the scheme, and as for their purpose, he could easily understand it: to make an example of them!
At the same time, he also felt a sense of fear.
He hadn't expected that Horton, a severely injured wizard, would still have the energy to monitor the school.
He knew he wouldn't survive today.
But the instigator of today's events is still alive.
He'd rather die than...
His gaze instantly focused, and he turned to look at Ian, his body transforming into a golden light, radiating a powerful sharpness.
"Ian, you give me..."
"
Snapped!
But in the next instant, it was as if he was being squeezed by an invisible force, and the golden light became even brighter before exploding.
Blood spread outwards, leaving a pool of blood and flesh on the ground.
The square was deathly silent.
Only the heavy smell of blood filled the air.
Horton slowly walked out of the crowd and stepped onto the trial platform.
His steps were steady, as if the horrifying annihilation just now was nothing more than brushing away a fallen leaf.
He stood there, his gaze sweeping over the wizard sweating profusely in the judge's dock, and over the wizards outside the square.
"Let's leave it at that for today. I also want everyone to remember that what the school needs are wizards who are loyal to knowledge and to the school, not wizards like Gabriel."
After saying that, he stopped looking at anyone and turned to walk off the stage.
As I passed the defendant's dock, I glanced at Ian, who had just stood up.
"Come with me."
After saying just those three words, Horton continued walking forward.
The crowd parted silently again to make way for him.
Ian quickly followed.
He already understood why Horton had only shown up today.
It's not just about dealing with Ian; it's also part of the deterrence school.
If the killing of the Blackrock Wizards made everyone feel Horton's power, today's event signifies his control over the school.
At the same time, we don't know what will happen after today.
How many wizards will fall?
Following behind Horton.
Ian could feel the complex gazes on both sides.
There is fear, awe, admiration, but also resentment, jealousy, and even hatred!
A mixture of emotions.
Ian chose to ignore it all, simply following calmly behind Horton, disregarding the commotion behind him.
But he knew very well.
From today onwards, everything will be different.
soon.
He followed Horton all the way back to the Wizard Tower.
After entering, we went up to the top floor and finally stopped in a small room.
Horton turned and sat down on a sofa.
Looking at Ian before him, he smiled, his invisible pressure dissipating and replaced with a gentle expression.
How are you feeling today?
"Huo..."
'
"It's time to change how we address each other."
Ian was taken aback, then looked at Horton and said in a deep voice, "Teacher!"
