Compared with the sunlight, the light of the Gublai Fairy Fire seems much gloomy and dim, which makes the entire Solomon Hall always shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
Zheng Qing sat behind the table and looked up at the huge Danhag logo behind the legendary wizards on the rostrum - on the trays on both sides of the scale, there was a "Witcher Code" on one side and a hammer on the other side.
The hearing is like that balance.
It is one of the mechanisms designed in the alliance for power constraints and balance. Although its conclusions are not mandatory or legal, its seriousness is by no means inferior to the court of the Danhag Supreme Court. Because this venue brings together the attitudes of the most extensive senior wizards in the alliance.
However, Zheng Qing is not entirely dependent on the attitude of the wizards when he sits here.
But because of order.
The Code represents order, Danhag represents order, and the hearing also represents order. As the "order", Zheng Qing needs to respect the concept of order more than other advanced wizards.
Dongdong!
On the rostrum, Ms. Shi Hui, who presided over today's hearing, knocked on the wooden hammer in front of her again.
"——Next, please invite the representatives of the audience to speak."
Her eyes fell on the great wizards on the left side of Zheng Qing. Zheng Qing followed her gaze and saw Colma standing up, calmly walking down the stairs, first bowing slightly to the legends on the rostrum, and then stopping behind a speech table in front of him. Like other great wizards, she was also wearing a pure black robe today, with a very serious expression. The swaying fire of the Gublai Fairy Fire fell on her silver-white hair, dyeing her hair a magnificent color.
Zheng Qing heard a rustling sound behind him, as if the great wizards were whispering in a low voice. Some were curious, some were puzzled, and some were annoyed why he chose this great wizard from the North District as the representative of the auditorium.
Colma cleared her throat.
The very qualified wizards finally shut up.
“—I’m very happy that I can speak on behalf of everyone in the audience.”
The young witch's voice was calm, with a hint of majesty that was soaked in time: "I like the saying that the great wizard Ronald Cos said, "As long as you torture a piece of white paper, it will confess everything." The First University is a holy place for the pursuit of truth, not a holy place for the pursuit of morality. The faculty and staff in the school are also mortals, not saints. In the history of the First University, a senior professor once attended the Church of Bloody Tongue and sacrificed all his relatives to His Highness Nayazi's clone, the "Bloody Tongue". There were also retired old school workers who were accused of colluding with the Withered Land and the Fallen Wizard. There were also school deans who were once demons and had done many horrifying things, but the alliance ignored it..."
These sisters are so brave to say it.
Zheng Qing quietly praised the great sage in the North District, especially when she mentioned a dean of a certain college, the young wizard couldn't help but look at someone on the rostrum, but saw that the other party's eyelids closed, as if he was asleep.
There is no sensitivity at all when I interrupted the questioning speech before.
The other great wizards in the audience obviously noticed this detail, with their eyes circling, and they turned back and forth between the rostrum and the lecture table several times, but they were still unaware of the key points.
Colma seemed to be unconscious and soon ended her short, yet intense speech: "...I am not here to criticize some standards of the school or the league, but just to remind everyone in this room that we must face up to the fact that there are no perfect candidates in this world, and you will never find a dean without dark spots. We pursue ideals, but we cannot always be so idealized. Thank you."
The scattered applause ended before the witch could return to her seat.
Even Zheng Qing could clearly feel those scrutinized gazes.
Dongdong!
On the rostrum, Ms. Shi Hui rang the wooden hammer in front of her again: "——Please invite the representative of the supervisory seat to speak."
This time, the person who came on stage was an old wizard with a stern temperament. He had a face that was bright and swaying to tell everyone that "I am old and old" with a serious expression. After taking the oath according to the Code, he did not summarize the statement immediately, but looked at Zheng Qing. He spoke very slowly and asked something that everyone in this hall would care about, but no one dared to ask:
"—We know that this matter is very secret, but for procedural considerations, we need to prepare a convincing statement after this hearing... So, Mr. Wu is still in this world?"
The gentleman he mentioned was naturally the president of the No. 1 university.
Zheng Qing hesitated to look at the rostrum.
This time, Ms. Shi Hui did not favor the side, but nodded with a very small range: "According to the rules, the representatives of the supervisory board have the right to conduct additional inquiries."
Zheng Qing thought for a moment and shook his head: "Sorry, I don't know."
"Two years ago, Mr. left the First University, have you been with him all the time?"
"Yes."
"Then what?"
"...Mr. assigned me some homework and asked me to go back to school after I finished it. Then we parted. So I don't know where my husband went later."
This work is compiled and uploaded~~
“What homework are there?”
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
The crisp sound of the wooden mallet interrupted the questioning below.
“—There is no answer to content that is not related to the inquiry.”
After reminding Zheng Qing, Ms. Shi Hui frowned and glanced at the old wizard: "Hisser Karen, Zheng Qing has answered your question. We know that you are very concerned about procedural justice, but some of the questions you mentioned involve the secrets of the First University, and Zheng Qing is obliged to remain silent... If you carefully check the relevant materials, the school has provided some of the itinerary records of Mr. Wang for all members of the committee. It should be enough to prove Zheng Qing's answer."
The old wizard looked at the direction he was coming, and seemed to be a little unwilling: "But the last wizard who was with the principal was Zheng Qing - I know that these are really a huge burden for a young man. I just want to figure out some facts. Everyone knows how rumors were born and spread. A clear and detailed explanation can fight back against all rumors..."
cough--
Old Man Ruoyu coughed softly.
The whole hall suddenly became quiet.
The old man raised his eyelids and glanced at the old wizard named Karen: "Zheng Qing will accept new positions from the Fringe Academy and relevant departments, which is a very heavy burden in itself. In comparison, the secrets or rumors you mentioned are not worth mentioning. Let's stop here."
Dongdong!
Ms. Shi Hui rang the wooden hammer in front of her again: "——The content about the principal is not within the scope of this inquiry. Is there anything else that the representative of the inspector's seat wants to say?"
Prince Karen was silent for a few seconds, and finally ended the secret confrontation smoothly: "——You are the convener of the hearing and have the right to decide the content of the hearing."
