Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

"...sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment——"

In the court, Bernard was delivering the verdict.

However, at this moment, the defendant, who had been silent in the dock, could not help but stand up:

"Okay, let's stop here for the pretense! I was just controlled by the mysterious man's Imperius Curse before..."

Bernard was not annoyed when the trial was interrupted. He skillfully reached out and pointed at the scale on the table:

"So, Mr. Avery, are you going to apply to defend yourself? Then please note that any lie you say next will make your heart farewell to you forever."

"..."

Little Avery was stunned and watched in astonishment as his heart flew out of his chest and landed on the golden scale.

"What are you doing? Isn't it just to pay money? Why do you want to make it look like the real thing?"

The wizards in the court all turned pale, especially the wizards at the trial.

During this period of time, they had been informed by countless defendants about how corrupt the former Ministry of Magic was.

If it were the original model of the Wizengamot, it would be fine. No matter how embarrassed you are, you can still be considered one of your own. However, the current court has a gallery. As long as you are free and have passed the identity verification, you can come in and observe, and you will lose your face directly. The entire British wizarding world has gone!

Without even turning their heads, they could all guess what the wizards in the gallery thought of them. At this moment, they just wanted to dig out the previous Ministers of Magic—especially Fudge—from the ground and whip their corpses.

However, no matter how much they wanted to escape from the scene, it was just a delusion after all, and time would not stop for a moment because of their embarrassment.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Avery, money will not save you even one day from your sentence."

Bernard shook his head.

"The Ministry of Magic is getting really greedy...Okay, I can give you more money!"

"Mr. Avery, if you have nothing valuable to say, then I will proceed with the sentencing."

Little Avery's eyes widened:

"No way? You really plan to sentence me to jail for free... In addition to the money given to the Ministry of Magic, I can give you an extra sum of money, how about a thousand galleons? Think about it, what will sentencing me to jail do to you? benefit?"

"Please don't tarnish my character with money, Mr. Avery."

Bernard was speechless for a moment. He shouted so loudly and thought you were so rich. I was a little excited and wanted to charge you with the crime of unknown sources of huge assets. But this is the result?

"As for the benefit of sentencing you to jail... to me, justice has been served, and that's the biggest benefit."

Bernard's words drew small applause from the auditorium. Even though they knew that the order of the court could not be disturbed, Bernard's words still brought tears to the eyes of wizards who knew how corrupt the previous Ministry of Magic was.

Sure enough, when Minister Eugene came, the sky was clear!

Bernard:? ? ?

"Are you kidding...Wait a minute! Let me go! I don't accept it! It shouldn't be like this! I want to see your minister..."

After watching with his own eyes little Avery accepted the final sentence, collapsed and struggled and was dragged away by the bailiff, Adam looked at Bernard who had finished the last trial of the day and called it a day and said:

"You called me here just to see this?"

After watching several professors' research for a day at Hogwarts, Adam lost hope in the wizards' scientific research capabilities, so he chose to go out and relax.

I came to the court to watch Bernard's trial of Death Eaters just by the way. I mainly looked forward to the day when the first-hand trial was over and I could finally point the finger at the goblins, especially after the time when the United States pretended to be X and no one knew it was him.

Gentlemen, he now longs for a war!

"That's right, this is what I want to see!"

Bernard waved his fist:

"This feeling of letting the light of justice shine on the earth is really great!"

"All evil will eventually be brought to justice, right?"

Adam complained, and then said:

"Then you have to stick to your heart and don't end up sacrificing your roots for the pursuit of justice."

The law is just the bottom line of morality. There is still a large gray area between justice and evil. This is the scope of normal people. If Bernard becomes paranoid and wants to judge others based on justice, it would be a mistake. Obsessed.

"I know that I have been mentally prepared for this kind of thing for a long time, and there will even be legal and moral conflicts in the future. I can only sit in judgment for a whole day like this for a few days, and I am not allowed to have fun for a while. ”

Bernard waved his hand, and then looked at Adam while moving his body that was somewhat stiff after sitting for a day:

"I heard that you went to the Hanging Garden ruins again. Did you gain anything?"

Adam touched his chin and thought for a while:

"Hmm...Seafood reserves +1."

"oh?"

Bernard's eyes lit up:

"Borrow a bowl and talk!"

"hiss--"

Adam suddenly took a breath of cold air and slapped his fist:

"I remember what I overlooked!"

Fellow! You must hold on, fellow!

Just as he was looking forward to the new seafood, he saw Bernard suddenly apparating away from the place after Adam shouted: ...?

What is gratifying is that when Adam found the two fellows in the secret base, the two fellows were in good condition, at least according to what they said.

“There are wild vegetables, fruits and fresh water here, and you can even hunt foreign voles. It’s like a paradise!”

While talking, the team member handed Adam a rat leg with burn marks:

"Mr. Adam, you eat too!"

"..."

Looking at the anemone-like growth on the ground that had been removed with its internal organs, Adam recognized that it was a Mortra rat that was roasted, and smiled awkwardly:

"Haha, I'm not hungry."

Then, with a phantom pain in his conscience, Adam stopped the two from eating the roasted Mortra rat:

"I'll take you back. Where do you want to go back? To the bases around the ruins or directly to the Hong Kong Island Ministry of Magic?"

Anyway, for Adam, his exploration of the ruins of the Sky Gardens can come to an end, so it doesn't matter if these two fellow villagers go back.

The lake that has been discovered so far that can produce seafood is enough for him to eat for a while, and the research on Tiamat and Abzu has just begun, not to mention that he will have to go to Gringotts to show his strength next, and then he will also need to be in charge of the division of the camps of magical beasts...

Adam expected that he would no longer be interested in the ruins of the Sky Gardens for quite some time.

So even if the two people who returned triggered a new wave of exploration, it was unknown when Adam would go to the Sky Garden again. Maybe by then Adam could get new information from the new trapped people and gain some exploration points.

Hearing Adam's words, the two people from the Hong Kong Magic Department were stunned and couldn't help but look at each other.

Actually... let them go just like that?
