Geralt's final tone was obviously higher, but he quickly adjusted and handed the scroll to Ruiwen, turning into cold marble again without saying a word.
"The above are all your charges. Do you have anything to add?" Ruiwen looked up at Dick.
"No." Dick replied expressionlessly.
"Well, now the Odinburg residents who were harmed by Dick will testify against you. Fisher, please let the first witness come forward." Ruiwen looked at the crowd.
Fisher, who was maintaining order, pointed at someone in the crowd.
This man was tall and thin. After he walked out, he glanced at Dick in a timid manner, and then quickly lowered his head.
"Don't be afraid." Yanshou said, "We are here."
"Okay, okay, what should I say now?"
"As we have investigated before, let me ask you again, did Dick break into your home without any reason?" Ruiwen took over.
"... there is"
After a long while, when even Dick was about to lose his patience, the witness replied.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, then I declare Dick guilty of breaking into a private house..."
"Wait a minute, Lord Warlock!" The tall, thin man raised his head and suddenly shouted.
"Well? Is there anything else you want to add?" Ruiwen raised his eyebrows slightly.
" Master Dick broke into my house, but he didn't do anything. He just stayed for a while and then jumped over the wall and left. And..."
"And what?" Master said.
"Moreover, Master Dick protected Odinburg before and saved our lives. Even if he wants to stay in my house for a few days now, I am willing."
"In other words, you won't hold him accountable?" Ruiwen asked.
"Yes, I think no one in Odinburg who was rescued by Dick will pursue Master Dick's affairs." The man became more relaxed and faster as he spoke.
"Then why didn't you say this when we were investigating yesterday?" Geralt on the side said.
"Master... witcher, you, your expression is too scary, I dare not say it." The man's tone began to stutter again.
Geralt stopped talking, just sat on the chair, his face twitched slightly, and finally he simply closed his eyes.
Dick hurriedly lowered his head to prevent others from noticing his uncontrollable expression.
"Yes, I think so too." Another witness in the crowd shouted.
Fisher simply refused to maintain order and allowed these people to talk.
"I am a businessman. Although Master Dick has beaten me, he is also a hero. I will not hold my savior accountable for his fault." Someone else shouted.
In an instant, the Lord's Hall seemed to have turned into a vegetable market, and it was so noisy that nothing could be heard clearly.
Seeing this, Master narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Dick who had already controlled his expression. He didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, the crowd made a way and two people walked out - an old man holding a round-faced little boy.
"Master Warlock." The old man was a little nervous and looked at the sorceress in the middle of the long table.
"What's the matter with you?" Ruiwen said in a gentle tone.
"I want to say that he did not kidnap my grandson. Dick is a very nice person. He just likes children and wants to tease them. He also gave my grandson two snacks after he came back.
"You made the mistake of blaming him."
Ruiwen smiled, "Thank you for your cooperation."
The old man nodded and led his grandson towards the door.
But the round-faced kid waved his hand towards Dick as he was about to go out.
After the old man started, another vendor stood up.
"I, I also have something to say."
"What do you have to say?" Ruiwen asked.
"I have indeed been eaten by Dick, but as the saying goes, people cannot remain the same.
"Dick never did anything like this again in the following days. Moreover, he risked his own life to protect us.
"So even if he eats a few more meals and hits me a few more times, what does it matter?"
"Huh?"
Now not only Ruiwen looked surprised, the other three demon hunters also looked at Dick.
"Unexpected, unexpected." Master murmured softly.
"Then you also want to revoke his criminal evidence?" Ruiwen asked again.
"I, I cancel."
"Okay, you can go."
Following the vendor's statement, more witnesses began to speak out in an orderly manner.
Finally, all witnesses who had been bullied by Dick vacated the hall.
After these people left, Fisher raised his eyebrows at Dick, then slowly exited the door and closed it gently.
Ruiwen looked at Dick: "That means that the only crime you can be convicted of is killing the mercenary."
"Haha, this is not a big deal." Vesemir on the side said.
"We demon hunters go out on missions every year, and when we rest in the tavern, we always encounter some mercenaries who overestimate their capabilities.
"Unless you hit them hard with a few swords, these mercenaries will always have short memories and just think that we demon hunters are on the same level as them."
"That's true. If Dick doesn't fight back against the mercenaries immediately, then ordinary people's awe of the demon hunters will disappear, which is not a good thing for completing the demon hunting commission." Master echoed, "And the mercenaries are basically outlaws. If they die, they will die, and no one will ask for compensation anyway."
Geralt on the side also nodded slightly.
"It seems that you demon hunters are really acting a little recklessly.
"However, according to the investigation, it was indeed the mercenaries who started the provocation this time. Even if Dick is guilty, it is not serious. Let's do the last test. After it is over, we will announce the result of the trial."
Ruiwen looked at Dick,
"I will be the last to make sure that no sin has been left out of you."
"What do you want to do?"
"Please relax, Dick." Ruiwen stood up and came to Dick's side, "Please look into my eyes and relax."
Dick followed the instructions, but felt something was wrong in his heart.
This warlock seems to be releasing some kind of spell, but he can't resist it.
Because out of the corner of his eye, he clearly noticed that Geralt and Vesemir had sat up straight.
Looking at their posture, if they don't cooperate, these two people will take action.
The woman's clear eyes looked directly at Dick:
"Although I am mainly Alchemy, I also have some knowledge of the spell of [Detect Thoughts]. Now I want to use this spell to look at your past experience.
"Please relax, otherwise it will be considered disobedience. Rest assured, I will only search for specific parts of your experience and will never intrude on your privacy."
"I cooperate."
"Okay, relax, relax."
Ruiwen put both hands on Dick's head, and then her pupils slowly glowed with white light. At the same time, a pair of ethereal Phantom Hand appeared, and her fingers slowly penetrated from the outside of Dick's head without any hindrance.
The movements of Phantom Hand were constantly changing with the movements of Ruiwen. At the same time, Ruiwen asked:
"Besides these sins, have you ever committed any other sins?"
Dick didn't answer, and didn't have the intention to answer, because his mind was extremely uncomfortable, as if a person was stirring the brain tissue with a wooden stick, making his thoughts messy and slow.
And large sections of past memories in the brain are turning over quickly like pages in a book.
This feeling is like drinking ten kilograms of white wine and then driving the car at 200 mph to show off your crazy skills.
It's so exciting!
