Chapter 569: The Prestigious Court of Arbitration
Thor did not answer for a moment. He knew a dying man's desire for life, but he also understood the concerns of everyone in the wizard tower.
Getting himself into more trouble because of a cover-up identity is completely contrary to his original intention.
But it was also because of Justin's identity as a fugitive from the Tribunal that made Saul somewhat tempted.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already taken root in Lake Rhine and couldn't just run away whenever he wanted, he would probably have taken on the business.
But now he has more things to worry about, and the constraints are even greater.
If the risk and reward are not proportional...
"If you feel the risk and reward don't match, can you first listen to the compensation I can pay?"
Justin has put himself in a very low position.
Thor looked at the butler Hope who had returned to his side. The latter just smiled, and the expression on his face seemed to say: "Master Tower Master, you can make any decision, and I will support you unconditionally."
Morton, who was still in the diary, did not object at this time.
Morton: [Master, you don't have to worry about us at all. ]
Penny was giving bad advice: "Brother Thor, let's see if he has any good stuff. If not, we can just kill him and rob him!"
"Hmm..." Thor's long silence made Justin on the opposite side more and more uneasy.
Ever since he bowed to Thor, he no longer concealed his emotions.
"Then let me see what you can give. You may not have what I want. Moreover, even if we reach an agreement, I must state in advance that your pollution problem is very complicated. Even if you pay more, I can't be 100% sure."
"That is to say, in the end, you may pay the price but not be able to regain your health, or even your condition may get worse." Thor flicked his wrist, and an agreement appeared at his fingertips. "If you agree, then sign a waiver agreement first."
When the old witch hurried over, she saw that Thor had already embarked on his return journey, while the second-level wizard who was said to be very threatening was standing with his back to the Rhine Lake, holding a piece of parchment tightly in his hand.
"Why don't you need me to save the situation?" The old witch said with a strange smile, "But even so, I can't save my appearance fee."
Appearance fee was a new word that came out of Thor's mouth when he asked her to ambush the enemy last time.
The old witch learned and applied what she learned immediately.
At this time, Thor's face was still a little excited. When he heard the old witch's words, he did not show any embarrassment as before, but agreed to the other party's request immediately.
"Ha, no problem."
Hearing Thor's ready agreement, the old witch immediately regretted asking for less.
However, he also knew that given Thor's personality, if he changed his mind at this time, the other party would probably not agree and would take this opportunity to take back his original promise.
The old witch had no choice but to glance suspiciously at the second-level wizard who had his back to the Rhine Lake, unable to understand what had made Thor so happy.
Thor didn't intend to tell the old witch. After returning to the wizard tower, he called over several consciousnesses.
"I plan to take Justin's request and try to treat him and clean up the pollution."
Several consciousnesses looked at each other, and no one spoke out in objection.
Although they would make suggestions, if Thor made a decision, they would execute it unconditionally.
The old witch did not participate in the previous discussion and was unaware of Justin's identity, so she naturally would not object to anything.
But she soon understood what had happened from Thor's next words.
"Although Justin is a wizard who specializes in gold attributes, he actually has several third-level dark attribute spells in his hands. I can choose one at random before the formal treatment. After the treatment - no matter what the treatment result is - he will let me choose another one."
Thor didn't know how this person could have so many dark magics, and they were level 3 magics? You know, most first-level wizards only learned two or three level 3 magics that matched their own attributes.
"And he knows a few things about the Inquisition. Like breaking wine glasses."
Ever since Thor snatched the Broken Wine Glass, a specialty of the Tribunal, from Mentor Gudo, he has never found the correct way to use it.
It can only be used roughly to crush the complete spirit.
But in fact, a complete spirit is usually much more valuable than its fragments.
So it didn't take long for the broken wine glass to be sealed in the deepest part of the storage device.
But from what Justin said, this broken wine glass actually has a very important function, such as creating some special, glowing soul fragments.
Justin brought Saul too many unexpected surprises, and at the same time, it made him more and more aware of Justin's identity. He was definitely not an ordinary wanted criminal, and perhaps there were deeper secrets waiting for him to dig out.
So Thor finally decided to let Justin enter the wizard tower for treatment! If the patient was left outside the Rhine Lake as before, it would not be kept confidential and accidents that he could not control would easily happen.
But if Justin becomes the first outsider to enter the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower, Thor must also ensure that the other party is under their control.
"Old witch, I will arrange for Justin to live on the third floor and I will find someone to watch him. Your main responsibility is to prevent him from entering the underground floor."
The old witch rolled her eyes and was about to refuse when she saw Thor across from her extending a hand.
"make a deal!"
The old witch rolled her eyes and said, "But I didn't expect that the Justin outside was actually the Justin I knew."
Several people looked over in surprise.
Saul even said, "You actually know Justin outside?"
The old witch pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing her legs and stepping on the chair.
"Justin, yes, almost everyone who has been in the Borderlands for a few years knows him. He is an unlucky second-level wizard."
Several people listened to the gossip of a second-level wizard with great interest.
"He comes from an old family in Nephrite. Although the family has declined, they still live a good life and can train a formal wizard in every generation. It's a pity...his family was placed on a restraining order by the Court of Arbitration overnight. All family members who fail to advance to the third level within three years will be eliminated."
Several conscious beings who were watching looked at each other in confusion, and even Thor clenched his fists unconsciously.
"What is the restraining order of the tribunal? What is the basis for their order?"
Several other people also leaned forward quietly.
Herman couldn't help but say, "When I was sailing on land with the captain, I once encountered the Arbitration Court executing a removal order. It is said that those who fail to meet the requirements of the restriction order will be subject to the removal order. The person who was removed at that time was a first-level wizard. He wanted to hide on the ship for a while, but the captain disagreed. He said he didn't dare to go against the Arbitration Court."
The old witch sneered after hearing this, "Your captain is right. In this world, the only place that dares to openly oppose the Court of Arbitration is the Stargate Council of Iskaiper. At most, there is the Sky City of the Sky Islands. After all, these are the only places where there are two or more fourth-level wizards."
"The president of the Tribunal is the fourth-level wizard Flim. People there regard him as something supernatural, saying that wherever there is light, there is his will."
"Of course, I don't believe it. But the Tribunal does intervene in many matters, even if it is Iskeper, whose philosophy is completely opposed to its own."
“So even though they say they won’t enter the No Man’s Land, I don’t really believe it. At least they definitely care about this place.”
A third-level wizard is someone that everyone needs to look up to, let alone a fourth-level wizard.
This also made everyone very curious about what a fourth-level wizard was like.
The old witch told her everything she knew.
The Tribunal, which Flim controls, controls the two empires of Evernight and Orlan in Nefert. The symbol of the Evernight Empire is the red sea trees covering the entire coastline, while Orlan is the kingdom of the fishmen.
Nephrite's other Imperial Black Flame was slightly better. Because the royal family itself had a fourth-level wizard, the Tribunal's control over it was not that strong.
However, on the surface, the Black Flame Empire also had to obey the orders of the Arbitration Court.
Hearing this, Thor couldn't help but ask the question again.
"So, what exactly is the tribunal ruling on? And what is the restraining order restricting?"
The old witch looked gloomy as she stared at Thor's young face. "You hit the nail on the head... I don't know either."
