Chapter 628 Gretel’s Lawsuit
The case of Master Grete Nordmark against Master Herbert Bradley for infringement of reputation rights was to be heard in three days.
Grete went to the Tower of Babel with confidence.
For lawsuits between low-level mages, a small number of them go to the City Hall, and most of them go to the White Tower. As for mid-level mages, since most of the mages who can get to the middle level have high-level backers, any matter will be resolved in the Tower of Babel. .
This is the closest place to the high-level mages. If you want to find the backstage, you can just find them all at once!
Grete did not go backstage. The doctor's office was blocked on Tuesday, and the court session was on Friday, so he missed the Thunder Lord's weekly meeting. As for going all the way to tell the teacher about such a trivial matter?
Haha, not worth it.
Anyway, as a disciple of the Lord of Thunder, as long as you do things openly and with a clear conscience. We don’t bully others, but we are definitely not afraid of anyone bullying us!
When he entered the court, the court was bustling with people, and more than half of the people were already sitting there. The layout of the entire tribunal looks a bit similar to the theater, lecture hall, and even the surgery hall in Black Crow Swamp:
At the end of the hall, facing the main entrance, is naturally the judge's bench. On the long table a little lower than the judge's bench, four clerks faced the judge and turned their backs to the audience, and they were in a record-keeping posture;
Behind the judge, there was a specially enclosed railing. In a position similar to a box, there were more than one magician leaning on the railing to look around. I don’t know if these people were observers or jurors, but when they saw him coming in, many people waved in a friendly way;
On the left and right sides of the judge's bench, the plaintiff's bench and the defendant's bench are opposite each other. Taking into account the high cost of land in the Tower of Babel, the first row of seats for both parties almost reached the edge of the judge's bench.
As for the auditorium, they are piled up layer by layer from opposite the judge's bench, just like the seats in a theater. At this time, the attendance rate in the auditorium has exceeded 80%. The seats are colorful and fragrant, and half of them are female mages.
...of course. In the past three days, Grete sent at least twenty letters according to the patient list, asking patients or their family members who had been treated here to testify in court.
As long as two people from each mother's home come, the auditorium of 200 people will be 20% full.
If you also had a prenatal checkup at his place and made an appointment to give birth at his place, but were informed that there would be a lawsuit in the near future, and they would not accept any surgery except emergency surgery...
Amen.
In addition to the mother's family members, there are also a group of female mages from the Charm Control Department, Yingying and Yanyan, who came together - the painless delivery through cesarean section was spread from the Charm Control Department;
There was also a group of necromancers who came to watch the fun. If there weren't enough seats in the auditorium, they could fill the seats with skeletons;
Of course, there are also the disciples and grandsons of the Lord of Thunder, mages of the energy-shaping system. Anyone who can put down their work will also invite their friends and swarm over;
There is also the prophecy department - oh, the prophecy department should not be called by him. In my impression, the defendant family has a prophecy department archmage, who should be from their side...
Compared to Gretel, the defendant's mood was not so wonderful. When Master Herbert Bradley sat in the dock, his face was clouded, and it was like a thunderstorm would pour down in a minute:
This Nordmark mage has gone too far!
As a man, you have to do something as dirty as delivering a baby, look directly at, and even touch a woman’s private parts! He actually dared to sue him for doing such a shameless thing, and even dared to go to the parliamentary tribunal!
What's even more annoying is that in the past three days, more than one friend has come to persuade him:
"Apologise, make amends, and don't go to the tribunal... The Lord of Thunder knows that you bully his disciples, and he doesn't even need to step forward. Just a few older disciples under his command can kill your family." Smashed!"
Are legendary disciples great? Even if he does something like this, the Lord of Thunder can support him?
Their family also has... Well, there are really no legends in their family. There is a level 15 archmage, but the blood relationship is a bit distant. He is his great-uncle and his grandfather's cousin.
Although there are not many magicians in the family, their family can be considered worthy of speaking in front of the great mage, but with this relationship, they will never be able to withstand a legend!
"No! Absolutely not!"
Wizard Bradley punched the table with red eyes.
His son was dead. The only son he had worked so hard to obtain. He became a level 1 mage at the age of 11 and was promoted to level 4 at the age of 15. He had always been the hope of the family... He died like this! died!
It's all that Nordmark mage's fault! Doing this kind of thing caused discord in their family, and their son and daughter-in-law quarreled. The daughter-in-law took the child to seek refuge with her friends in anger, and the son lost control of his mind and died while meditating in anger...
He has no hope in this life. Even if he fights to the death and loses his life, he still has to expose the true face of the Nordmark mage!
"when!"
In the center of the judge's bench, the presiding judge, wearing a black robe and a scale badge on his chest, rang the bell to announce the start of the trial.
The small copper bell sounded like thunder, and an inexplicable wave emitted, instantly quelling the noise in the auditorium. It's obviously an alchemy tool, and tapping it with a mallet is just a ritual to activate magic.
"The case of Master Grete Nordmark against Master Herbert Bradley for infringement of reputation rights is now open! Please speak to the plaintiff!"
Gretel stood up and saluted the judge. There is no lawyer, and it is impossible to have one. The court of magicians does not need those fancy gadgets; he has to collect evidence, organize opinions, and invite witnesses, all by himself...
"Three days ago, Master Herbert Bradley led the funeral procession and made a lot of noise in front of my medical clinic. He accused me of being lustful and wanting to satisfy my own ulterior desires before I started delivering babies. business."
He stated the facts calmly, completely turning a blind eye to the surprise, noise, indignation and comments in the auditorium:
"Such remarks are a great insult to my reputation, as well as to the reputation of the women who received treatment at my medical center and gave birth safely, and to their families. For this reason, I have to appeal to the Parliament, Asking Master Bradley to restore my honor."
"Mage Nordmark, do you have any evidence?"
"In addition to the spell casters and staff in the medical clinic, there were also Mage Isabel Gatti, Mage Grace Tyson, and Sister Salia who was visiting from the Spring Water Temple."
Grete came prepared and had already invited witnesses to the scene. Turning back and raising their hands slightly, the two magicians and a priestess bowed at the same time and nodded to the judge:
"Yes, we were all present and witnessed everything with our own eyes..."
During the questions and answers, the door of the tribunal was quietly opened a crack, and a silver-haired girl quietly entered the room and found an inconspicuous seat to sit down.
