294: Chapter 147: Flip the Table 294: Chapter 147: Flip the Table “Canis!

…Are you alright?

If you’re fine, that’s good.” On seeing his captured eldest son, Baron Gunnar was almost about to stand up.

But he was immediately surprised to discover that his son had not been restricted in any way by the Thorny Flower Family; under the wide cloak, there were not only no chains, but he was also wearing armor and his sword hung at his waist, with his blade not even removed.

“Father, I have something to say…

and there’s a real problem!

We have been used, someone wanted me dead in the Thorny Flower’s cell, and then to manipulate the furious Wolf Family as a knife in their hands.”

Canis gritted his teeth, glaring towards the side seats.

He raised his hand and pointed at the Northern Wizard: “General Trosa, that wizard named Met!

He ‘nearly’ succeeded in murdering me.

I request your permission to personally capture and deal with him!”

“What?

Met wanted to kill you?” Baron Gunnar, following his son’s direction, looked over there with shock and uncertainty.

General Trosa too raised an eyebrow at this sudden accusation.

The Noble Lords and Knights present turned their heads collectively towards Mage Met, who was frowning deeply, causing a buzz of commotion.

“Father, he didn’t ‘want’ to kill me; he already tried.

That man used witchcraft to transmit his voice, pretending to assist with an escape, leading me to distract the guard, and then under the pretext of helping me break my shackles, he slipped into the cell and thrust a spear through my chest.

If not for…

If not for my luck, if I hadn’t healed from my injuries, it would be my corpse appearing before you now!” Canis’s voice was filled with anger as his right hand gripped the hilt of his sword.

“Hold on, Lord Canis, could there be some misunderstanding?” Hilgard sensed the brewing storm and couldn’t help standing up and turning his head to ask his old friend, “What exactly happened?”

“Master Meit, regarding Canis’s accusation, do you have anything to say?” Trosa looked toward the Northern Wizard with a headache, too many unexpected things had happened today.

Meit narrowed his eyes, his gaze no longer on the furiously raging Canis, but rather turning to the young Knight named “Leon” beside him.

Seeing the look from the one hundred and eighty-year-old Bideng, Leon stared back calmly.

…This old man, who had shown such goodwill at the beginning, made him hardly consider that a Northern Wizard who seemed to be an outsider might actually attempt to assassinate Canis in order to frame himself.

Fortunately, he didn’t need a famous detective to solve the case; Lady Aphrodite’s magic could directly have the victim rise from the ground and identify the murderer himself.

Meit maintained a calm demeanor, facing everyone’s gaze.

He had no choice but to rely on his spear-staff to stand up and face the Wolf Family Young Master who seemed to wish he could split him into two.

…Those damned Atiyas people, the damned “Bai Shou.”

A small favor to help them had brought such a catastrophe upon him!

But it was a fact that Canis was dead; no matter how incredible the situation before him was, Canis had definitely died at that time.

A body whose soul had dissipated, even the High Priest of the Holy Sun Church couldn’t bring a dead person back to life.

What was before him was an Undead summoned by magic, or perhaps an illusion; Meit didn’t know which Mage could summon a sensible ghost, but as long as it was still magic, then perhaps there was a chance to cope.

“I do not need to argue!

General Trosa, I hold no grudges against Lord Canis, so why would I secretly harm him?

In fact, the person standing before you is merely a ‘pseudo item’ created by magic; he’s not the real Canis,” Meit stated righteously.

As he said this, he pointed at Leon: “The Farolis Family has a Mage skilled in magic, who is now manipulating witchcraft creations to play with you all, slandering me.”

Since there was a complete falling out, Meit naturally did not want to continue to conceal the little knight’s identity as a Spellcaster.

Although this could not truly affect the other party in any way, it could at least clear some of his own suspicion.

But General Trosa, upon hearing it, felt a surge of anger: “Master Meit, you previously told me that the Farolis Family doesn’t have any suspicion of violating the witchcraft laws, and now you are changing your testimony?

Are you making a fool of me?”

Leon sneered coldly at Meit: “Are you flustered and spewing nonsense because you are angry?

Canis is standing here, flesh and blood, and you say he’s fake?

Then we’re all fake, aren’t we?”

Count’s Advisor Hilgard was already utterly befuddled.

He summoned the magic power in his eyes and scrutinized the Wolf Family Young Master back and forth, but he couldn’t detect any trace of illusion in him.

Whether in appearance or the magic element characteristic, the person before him was unquestionably a living and breathing human being.

Dismissing the magic in his eyes, Hilgard, in his confusion, refrained from hastily speaking to aid either side, simply watching silently beside his old friend.

Assassinating Canis?

Could it be that his old friend had lived too long and gone mad?

Why would he attempt to harm a noble who had no dealings with the Society?

Hilgard couldn’t fathom it; if the crime were proved, it would create a huge impact on the Society of Spellcasters.

Spellcasters restricted by legal orders interfering in Kingdom internal noble conflicts was taboo already, let alone personally committing assassination?

“Talking is useless!

Whether it’s false or not, let me dispel this contrived witchcraft, and you all will see for yourselves!”

Meit knew that the only way to prove that Canis before him was not a real person was to dispel the magic affecting him, regardless of whether he was Undead or an illusion.

The nobles, who didn’t understand the principles of magic, would still be deceived by his explanation.

Hilgard wouldn’t dare to risk incriminating the Society by revealing his lie; if Meit could just get through this dilemma, when he returned to the northern fortress, he would explain everything to his old friend.
