Chapter 745 Trial
After spending two days with Jiang Shan, Veronica planned to go on a solo trip - she wanted to walk around and take a closer look at this new era thousands of years later.
"People cannot be completely detached from the world. My era has been gone for thousands of years. The world now is a brand new world for me. I need to understand it well."
Veronica said this to Jiang Shandao.
She said as she packed her bags.
Jiang Shan smiled and said, "It's good to keep up with the times. Even Kamar-Taj, which is said to be isolated from the world, is not really separated from it - Ancient One would use WIFI."
He then said, "But remember not to neglect your practice. I have already passed on the method to you. If you need anything, feel free to contact me using your watch. Of course, you can also contact S.H.I.E.L.D. or members of the Two Worlds Organization."
Veronica smiled like a red rose, blew Jiang Shan a kiss, and left.
Jiang Shan returned to Kamar-Taj - there was one thing he almost forgot to deal with - that was the Devourer of Worlds.
When we captured this guy, we brought him back and suppressed him in the Shanhai Ding. A lot of things happened during this period, but the time was not too long, only a few months.
After all, it is the Devourer of Worlds, and it hasn’t been killed yet.
After traveling back this time, Jiang Shan originally planned to travel around the earth first, have a good time with the women, and then go back to deal with the aftermath of the Devourer of Worlds.
Veronica was an accident.
But this matter didn't delay any time.
When they returned to Kamar-Taj, Mordo had just summoned all the mages to try Tina in front of everyone.
Mordo's face was as hard as iron as ever - he has always been like this, serious and firm in abiding by every rule of Kamar-Taj, and everyone obeys him.
This is his strength and also his weakness.
It seems that in some extended plots, Mordo has also become a villain - due to his personality - he is unwavering in the rules of Kamar-Taj, but the Ancient One's act of absorbing dark power has led to his inner subversion, from one extreme to another.
Of course, Jiang Shan succeeded Ancient One as the Sorcerer Supreme, and Ancient One's affairs had not yet been exposed. Naturally, Mordo had no chance to turn evil.
Jiang Shan would not break the rules of Kamar-Taj because there was no need; Jiang Shan even added strict rules to Kamar-Taj, such as "prohibiting retired mages from having offspring", and Mordo wholeheartedly agreed with this rule.
"Today, we gather here to judge Mage Tina."
Mordo said: "As the protector of the mysterious side, Kamar-Taj has the power to judge anyone who violates the rules of the mysterious side."
Tina stood there, looking dispirited and like a walking corpse.
The reason for her being in this state was not because Mordo had used any torture on her; it was because she herself could not accept the series of things that had happened to her.
She was controlled by aliens and passively betrayed Kamar-Taj; she married someone, gave birth to a daughter, but died in front of her eyes - at that time, as a controlled person, she watched helplessly and did nothing.
Now, she is finally no longer controlled, but the pain is also coming out.
Mordo said loudly: "Based on the investigation and interrogation, we learned what happened to Master Tina - this is a tragedy."
"Everything she did, including embezzling the staff of power and aiding the tyrant, was done passively."
"According to the rules, those who embezzled Kamar-Taj's artifacts must take back the embezzled items and be punished by having their magic power abolished."
"But she did this when her mission failed and she was controlled by the enemy. It was not her own fault. So her crime was reduced by one level."
"But during the time she was controlled by the enemy, she aided and abetted the evil and killed many young lives. This is a taboo of Kamar-Taj."
"According to the rules, he should be sentenced to death. But because he was controlled and did not do it voluntarily, his crime is reduced to a lesser level."
"According to the rules and in light of the opinions of several great wizards, the verdict is as follows."
"We will sentence Mage Tina to death."
Mordo paused and said loudly: "This is the solution I strongly requested. Some great wizards disagreed and believed that her behavior was not from her heart and should be forgiven to a certain extent."
“But I don’t think so.”
"Kamar-Taj is not a court. We don't need a jury. We only care about rules and facts."
"Master Tina aided and abetted the evil, killing hundreds of young lives. This is a fact that cannot be denied. If we forgive her, who will be responsible for the hundreds of young lives that died?"
"Therefore, I strongly request that he be sentenced to death."
"certainly."

Mordo changed the subject: "If you trace the root of this matter, I am also responsible. Because I was the one who sent Master Tina to deal with that strange incident."
At this time, Casillas, who had been silent, said, "Dealing with strange incidents is the responsibility of every wizard in Kamar-Taj. If you don't send Wizard Tina, you should send someone else. I remember that at that time, you were ordered by Wizard Ancient One to suppress the Kamar-Taj magic circle, and you couldn't leave by yourself."
He said: "We have all learned from Mage Tina what happened at the time - it was her carelessness. You allowed her to take the Staff of Power One, which should have been foolproof."
When he said this, he looked at all the wizards and said seriously, "We should take this as a warning. Because our enemies are either evil wizards, black magicians, demons, devils, or even dimensional demons. They are cruel and cunning, and their methods are so treacherous that we can't defend ourselves against them."
"After this incident, we should practice harder and become stronger."
“We should read more manuscripts left by our predecessors and learn from their experience in handling various strange events.”
"And in the process of handling things, remain very vigilant and be careful not to fall into the enemy's trap."
His words caused the mages to nod their heads frequently, and they all agreed with him.
Mordo rarely showed a smile: "Master Casillas is absolutely right."
Then he said, "But I still think I am responsible for Master Tina's current situation. Therefore, in the next year, the cultivation resources that originally belonged to me will be distributed to all the mages. This is a warning to myself."
Jiang Shan stood in the distance, watching this scene, and couldn't help laughing.
He didn't disturb them and turned to walk into the Supreme Sorcerer's quiet room.
The atmosphere in Kamar-Taj is now excellent, even better than when Ancient One was the Sorcerer Supreme. Firstly, it is due to Jiang Shan's personal example, and secondly, Jiang Shan's feats of punching demons and kicking gods, repeatedly protecting the earth, have greatly boosted the morale of the mages.
They are more determined than ever to uphold their ideals and responsibilities as a Kamar-Taj wizard.
