Chapter 519: Chapter 141 Shift! Shift!_2
By this time, even if the college had not issued a formal announcement, it was already confirmed that the Lucias had rebelled and defected, and that Zoran Lucia had ambushed Link Grande.
The public execution of Ravensmouth College was neither hanging nor beheading.
The scene wasn’t so bloody, but for wizards, the results are far less acceptable than death.
First, they would abolish the Sea of Consciousness, transforming all the spiritual power and Magic Power of the punished into a unique energy, filling the main tower of the college;
Next, they would abolish the wizard qualifications, completely blocking the road to re-cultivation for the punished;
Then they would strip away all the knowledge in their minds, deleting all memories related to witchcraft;
Finally, they would embed Thought Control, firmly ingraining the belief that the punished could not commit suicide.
From then on, the punished would live in torment.
Despite remembering they were once wizards, they could not recall any memories of it, nor could they regain their former identities and statuses through hard work; they could only live in a dull and numb existence.
Even ending their own lives was forbidden, leaving them to bear the regret, pain, and numbness for a lifetime.
Walking like the living dead, life would be worse than death!
A total of 36 members of the Lucia family underwent public punishment.
The spectators who flocked to the scene not only filmed the execution process and posted it on the Ravensmouth forum, but also deliberately spread it to several other forums in Mesopotamia.
Some wizards from other organizations such as Shadow City, Flame and Metal Trading Company, and White Tower Alliance also shared the videotaped execution.
All the wizards who watched the execution video couldn’t help but marvel at how cruel and treacherous Ravensmouth College was.
“They got off easy.”
That was the comment from Serene Wizard, who observed the entire execution process.
Afterward, Serene Wizard no longer paid attention to the Lucia family, let alone took the task of rescuing the Palo Sage army seriously.
He focused all his efforts on his cultivation, striving to enter the Metamorphosis Stage as soon as possible.
Mesopotamia University.
In a tightly guarded villa, the core members of the Lucia family, including the clan leader, elders, and key personnel, totaling 42 people, gathered.
After the execution video ended, the Clan Leader, who was currently the only Sage in the Lucia family, looked around at the many elders and key personnel. His gaze finally fixated on Zoran Lucia, remaining silent for a long time.
After a while, the Clan Leader finally asked, “Are you satisfied now?”
Zoran Lucia looked up in confusion, “Why do you ask, Clan Leader?”
A trace of anger showed in the Clan Leader’s eyes, “If you were dissatisfied with your clan signing a peace agreement with Palo Sage and Link Grande without informing you, and apologizing for it, you could have expressed your dissatisfaction to me, or even proposed to the Elders Council to dismiss me as Clan Leader.”
After a pause, the Clan Leader raised his voice, “Why did you betray your clan by leaking the coordinates of the Fairy World, which you somehow got hold of, forcing the clan to hastily seek refuge, without even considering the other clansmen, two armies, and industries!”
Zoran Lucia asked in surprise, “But I reported everything I have done to you, Clan Leader. How is it considered betrayal?”
“I did not agree!”
The Clan Leader became more furious, his voice even more stern.
“But you didn’t object.”
Zoran didn’t seem to care much, “You once taught me ‘if there’s no objection, then you can do it’, didn’t you?”
“Hmph!”
The Clan Leader’s eyes were bloodshot, as if ready to spit fire at any moment.
The attendees, composed of the many elders and key members, didn’t dare to intervene in a conversation between a Level Five Sage and a quasi-sage.
Even the distinguished Great Elders were no exception.
After a moment, seeing both the Clan Leader and Zoran keeping their cool, the Great Elder finally started, “There’s no use in arguing about the past. We should think about the future.”
The Clan Leader snorted, “What’s left for the future? Using the secret we hold, we ask the Mesopotamia University for protection, and try to reclaim some of our clansmen and property through them.”
Zoran refuted directly, “Only those youngsters with potential need to be taken back. Why should we take back those parasites who are just eating up our resources? To continue draining our family?”
The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became awkward.
Those parasites Zoran spoke of were the offspring of the very people present.
They weren’t too far from “draining the family”.
Zoran had been eager for reform, and had proposed changes to the family on multiple occasions, only to be vetoed by the elders.
Even though Zoran had once persuaded the Clan Leader, the elders had disrupted the effort by openly obstructing and covertly undermining him.
It wasn’t until this moment that the elders realized the extent of Zoran’s dissatisfaction with the family.
They would rather stage a phoenix’s rebirth from the ashes.
As long as the hope remains, they wouldn’t mind destroying the current Lucia family.
The common characteristic of the 36 punished Lucias emerged in the minds of the elders.
These people were just the parasites Zoran had mentioned!
The Clan Leader didn’t seem to be as angry as he appeared on the surface. His conversation with Zoran seemed more like a performance, staged for certain people to see.
However, the acting was so realistic that unless one was familiar with them, like these elders, it was impossible to see through.
Realizing this, the elders simultaneously suppressed their thoughts, not daring to delve deeper.
If they continued to think like this, someone might die!
After all, they had not gotten tired of living yet.
