Chapter 464 462 Great Trial
Chapter 464 462. The Great Trial
The next day is the first day of November.
Fox suddenly appeared in Iniesta's office early in the morning. He didn't bring anything. He just stared straight at the newly established interim minister of the French Ministry of Magic after apparating to the ground. .
After receiving Fox's gaze, Iniesta seemed to know exactly what he wanted to do.
He took a deep breath and stood up from his chair.
"Go back, I know what to do."
So, on November 1st, all the British wizards from the Order of the Phoenix and the French wizards from the French Ministry of Magic were organized in the Witch Line!
The "Starlight Newspaper", which is a special propaganda tool within the Wu Ping Line, also received Dumbledore's instructions and delayed the sale of daily newspapers this morning. Instead, it printed a batch of new newspapers before noon and then put them on sale. To all the wizards who should have received it this morning.
Before lunch, almost all the wizards in France saw the bold and bold headline on the front page of "Etoile".
[A trial from the public! 】
The content of this report is not long. It just tells one thing in the most concise words, which will be held tomorrow.
After the Triwizard Tournament ended and all cities in France were completely recovered, those who had only dealt with a small part, and most of them were temporarily detained in wizard prisons, were various thugs who supported the blood theory and practiced it. We are finally about to accept the final judgment.
This public trial will begin tomorrow in the conference hall of the French Ministry of Magic where Voldemort once announced that he would become the French Minister of Magic. This is a completely transparent conference room that allows everyone who comes to the French Ministry of Magic to You can observe everything that happens inside.
Even wizards and wizards who are unable to come to the Ministry of Magic in person can tune in to the wizard-specific radio frequency band at home and witness the trial through the radio.
Many wizards will only feel excited after hearing this news.
Those scum who want to create inequality and use their illusory bloodline to oppress will finally pay the price they deserve!
There was also a small group of people who clearly sensed that this public trial, which had been held on a pilot basis at Hogwarts before but had been delayed for so long in the French wizarding world, revealed something different.
There is no need to prepare anything in advance for a public trial. As long as the public can participate in the trial, it will be a success.
But Dumbledore and the others had shown no sign of starting a public trial before. Instead, it was already November, and without any announcement, the public trial was suddenly about to begin.
This obviously reveals something unusual.
But regardless of whether he felt the special meaning of this trial, the next morning, the trial came as scheduled.
On the morning of November 2nd, except for the employees of the Ministry of Magic who had to ensure the basic operation of the French wizarding world, all other wizards gathered in this transparent conference room that was once used to hold meetings of parliamentarians.
All the high-level officials of Wuping Line have already gathered here, and on the high platform right in front that everyone can see, a brand new gallows has been set up!
Except for sitting at the front, Dumbledore Iniesta, who is the presiding judge of this public trial, and other Wu Pingxian management, all other seats in the back are for whoever comes first can sit down, even if there are no people around. If you have a seat, you can stand directly on both sides. If there is no room on both sides, you can still gather outside the glass conference room. However, if you can't squeeze into the innermost part of the conference room, the wizards who can no longer see the public trial can also hear it through the wizard radio. The sound of the public trial.
In short, as long as people come here, there will always be various ways for them to witness this trial.
Jon also came to the scene of the public trial. As the biggest contributor to the victory of the Triwizard Tournament, he was certainly qualified to sit at the forefront, next to Dumbledore.
The host of this public trial within the French magic world is none other than Iniesta himself, the minister.
"No one in this world can guarantee that they will not make mistakes, but there are some mistakes that we as humans should never make!"
The amplification spell spread his voice throughout the venue of the public trial. At the same time, his opening words were heard all over France, and even in other places in Europe that were paying attention to the internal situation in France.
"For their own selfish interests, some people have put forward the theory that the so-called pure bloodline of wizards is superior! They artificially divided us into three, six or nine levels, and made themselves superiors, in order to gain absolute power! This war The root of war arises from this, but even if right and wrong can be reversed, and justice can be trampled, there are still some truths that they can never distort! And let us peel off these hypocritical faces that whitewash our oppression. Face up to everything we have encountered in the past two years, publish all the evil deeds of the criminals who created this war that should not have happened, and then hand them over to all of you for trial. This is the meaning of our gathering here today! "
His voice was sonorous and powerful, not only allowing everyone present to hear his speech, but it was also enough to mobilize everyone's suppressed hearts that had not yet been repaired by the short-lived peace.
There were cheers and applause around him, and Iniesta had no more tirade.
At this point, no matter how many words are said, they are not as touching as the bloody reality!
Although France fell into Voldemort's hands for a short time, only less than two years, the damage caused by the theory of bloodline to this originally stable and peaceful magic society is still extremely serious, so there are not a few criminals locked up in the wizard prison waiting for trial.
With the experience of the public trial held in Hogwarts before, this public trial is not difficult to conduct, because this most straightforward and simple behavior of showing the evil in the eyes of the general public does not require any skills at all. It only needs to bring all the evil deeds done by these people and the people they have persecuted to the stage and announce them, that is what this trial should do.
Although Jon missed the public trial in Hogwarts, he did not miss this time in the French magic world.
The first people to be brought to the high platform were those who were willing to be his lackeys for the sake of interests when Voldemort became the French Minister of Magic at the beginning, and the parliamentarians who colluded with Bella who pretended to be the wizard chief justice.
These people have been screened, and many of them said at the beginning that they were wronged, and they chose to support Voldemort not willingly, but because they were under Bella's Imperius Curse.
But in this matter, the wizard line will certainly not use Legilimency or truth serum on them out of humanitarian ideas. As long as these two methods are used, and they are asked whether they have just said lies, and whether their original behavior is sincere, then all the cover-ups will become a kind of futile.
And among these people, there are many different situations.
Some of them took the initiative to stand with Voldemort from the beginning, causing the whole of France to fall into blood oppression, and some were indeed controlled by the Imperius Curse and did things they didn't want to do at all.
And among them, the largest part of people were controlled by the Imperius Curse at the beginning and made actions to support Voldemort, and the Imperius Curse against them was lifted later. They were forced to change their minds due to the actions they had already made, and the benefits and power brought to them by Voldemort in the early days of his coming to power, from being forced to become voluntary.
Except for those who were really controlled by the Imperius Curse from beginning to end, the other two people were brought to the trial platform!
The first person to come to the stage was an official who had followed Bella and had been recruiting Muggles and half-blood wizards for her.
He was almost the first person in the entire French Ministry of Magic to know Bella's true identity, and the first French wizard who was willing to surrender to Voldemort.
This person privately followed Bella's request and relied on Bella's usual scam of pretending to be "Roland" as the wizard chief justice to support the Muggles to continuously recruit outstanding Muggles, and then either killed them directly, sent them to Britain as slaves, or tortured them to death by various means!
This person knew from the beginning that the crime he committed would definitely be punished with death. He tried to commit suicide many times from the beginning when he was caught by the wizard line, fearing that he would be punished by retribution and tortured more, which made him unable to die, but he was stopped.
And this public trial for all wizards in France was much more radical than the one piloted in Hogwarts.
Instead of someone else telling the criminals the charges, they were fed truth serum from the beginning, so that they could answer all the questions on the platform!
When this official who was an accomplice to Bella and helped the tyrant personally said all the names of the people he had killed, and stated their tragic endings, the whole scene was completely boiling!
It is only limited to the summary of things in words or others' legends, and it is ultimately impossible for people to really feel anything. Only when the people who have done these evil things tell all the things themselves, bloody express their betrayal of compatriots, kill idealistic and energetic young people, and all these are done just for themselves to get better enjoyment and higher status, people can have the kind of trembling feeling rising from the bottom of their hearts.
It turns out that there is really no limit to how bad people are. It turns out that some people have no psychological burden and pressure when committing these evil deeds that can make people feel numb just by listening to them.
Just like the public trial at Hogwarts, the first person to be brought to the trial for the whole of France was also the choice made by Iniesta and his team after careful consideration.
The noise rose and fell in all directions of the conference. On the high platform, there were not only the statements of the prisoners themselves, but also the grief and powerless statements and cries of the families whose children were deceived by him.
The most touching scene in the world was this. Before Iniesta finally started to let everyone present vote on the trial, all kinds of voices of "don't let him die so easily" rang out in various parts of the venue!
Through the truth serum, everyone present heard that this former official of the French Ministry of Magic was not afraid of death. He had tried to understand his own life many times in prison. What he was really afraid of was that he would experience the torture of living a life worse than death!
Since he was afraid of something, the public trial would give him something.
After everyone present raised their wands and voted with different colors of light flashing on the tip of the wand, the official was finally sentenced to 27 rounds of the Cruciatus Curse!
Each of these Cruciatus Curses is a life that he has persecuted to death. Even if his willpower surpasses everyone else and he survives these 27 Cruciatus Curses, he will still be hanged on the gallows.
After being sentenced, all executions will begin on the spot!
The 27 Cruciatus Curses will be used on him by 9 members of the Wizarding Line in turn. This kind of torture that directly hits the human soul has always been despised by normal wizards, who are unwilling to see it used publicly in the magic world.
But this time, no one frowned or had any objections. Instead, after the first Cruciatus Curse fell on the official and he screamed in pain, the cheers became more intense, and it seemed that the ceiling was about to be overturned!
No one can withstand so many Cruciatus Curses.
Just after the 5th Cruciatus Curse, the official's eyes were already rolling, and he lay on the ground motionless as if he had lost his soul. Only his heavy breathing still showed that he was still alive.
But since it was agreed that it would be 27 rounds, there would be no less.
By the 13th round, he had completely stopped breathing, tortured to death by such a punishment, and died under the thing he feared the most.
But the remaining 14 Cruciatus Curses still fell on his body according to the result of the trial. Since the verdict has been determined, it must be executed in place, regardless of whether the person being executed is still alive.
This is the first public trial that Dumbledore and Iniesta want to make clear to everyone, and it is also the main tone they set.
Jon sat in the front row, so he could clearly see that the official who looked like a fat pig fell to the ground at the beginning, and his body trembled violently every time he received a Cruciatus Curse, and there was no change in his life at the end.
Perhaps in the future, after they have won all the victories, someone will turn over this account and accuse this punishment of being inhumane.
But facing something that has lost its humanity and cannot be called a human being, inhumane means are the most humane response to the victims.
