A single stone stirs up a thousand waves!
When Oscar is in the spotlight, a bombshell is dropped, and the sensation and impact can be imagined!
This "White City Daily" is the most popular local newspaper, and it will never deliberately fabricate right and wrong to attract attention. If it dares to publish it, it must have a basis.
In one day, White City was like being swept by a strong storm, and public opinion showed signs of one-sidedness. The newspapers, newspapers, and magazines that were desperately praising and praising Oscar two days ago. Now they all turned their guns and began to criticize!
…
"City Evening News": "Oscar's true identity has been exposed. He was originally a descendant of the family, but was removed from the family tree."
"White City Magazine": "The genius apprentice was originally a famous playboy in Baisong Town. He lost millions of family property in two years. Judging from his living environment, it is impossible for him to have time to concentrate on learning magic, let alone develop magic on his own."
"Du Family Newspaper", "Oscar is young, but his character is extremely bad. He is not only addicted to alcohol, but also loves gambling."
"Law Enforcement Guardian": "The crime of plagiarizing magic can be sentenced to death by hanging!"
"White City Radio": "There are more and more negative news about Oscar, the apprentice of the magician in Baisong Town. The magic law enforcement department said that it is investigating the matter. If the matter is true, the plagiarist will be severely punished."
"Snowland Magazine": "Oscar deceives the world and steals the name! He should be severely punished!"
…
Countless media are condemning or questioning Oscar!
Only a few are speaking for Oscar, mainly the media of the Academy Alliance. Because if plagiarism of spells is true, the Academy Alliance will be greatly affected.
There is no shortage of people who are jealous of others’ talents.
Oscar was too popular a while ago, and countless warlocks envied him. Now they have finally found a balance point, and they all stand up to criticize him as moralists.
When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down, and when a drum breaks, everyone beats it. A genius warlock has become a liar, scum, and villain among warlocks!
…
Inside the Snow Wolf Inn.
"Bang!"
One-Eye roared, and the cup shattered. "This is too strange. Starting from the White City Daily, other media seemed to have agreed to launch attacks at the same time. It is obvious that someone is pushing it behind the scenes!"
Tie Niu stood up and said, "Let Oscar go and hide."
One-Eye shook his head and said, "No, if I leave now, wouldn't it prove that I am guilty? They have no solid evidence at all. They are completely manipulating public opinion. They can't do anything to the kid!"
Oscar sat next to him, drinking tea and said, "Uncle One-Eye, you are wrong."
Now that things have come to this point, Oscar is about to be ruined. Is this kid in the mood to drink tea?
What else is he thinking about!
Alice also looked anxious.
One-Eye asked, "What did you say?"
Oscar put down his teacup and said, "If there is no evidence, it is impossible to touch me. These people are obviously well prepared. I think the two-day public opinion bombardment is just a warm-up. I think the so-called evidence will come out soon."
"Do you have a way to deal with them?"
"I don't even know who the mastermind is, so how can I talk about a way?"
Oscar was calm and composed. In fact, for him, it was easy to shut up the public opinion.
Just defeating public opinion is not a victory.
The key is to kill the mastermind!
"Dongdongdongdong!"
Footsteps sounded outside the hotel, and twenty neatly equipped soldiers wearing leather armor and cloaks and holding long spears appeared. This is a team of regular soldiers.
The mercenaries quickly blocked the door: "What are you doing!"
"We are the law enforcement team!" A man dressed as a soldier captain stood up and took out a token from his waist, "Apprentice warlock Oscar is suspected of plagiarizing achievements. We are here to arrest him under the order of the mayor!"
One-eyed man rushed out like a mad tiger and roared: "Do you know who I am? You dare to arrest people in my territory, you all don't want to live!"
The soldier captain held his spear horizontally and took a defensive posture, "We are following orders, please don't make things difficult for us!"
"Want to arrest someone? You knock me down first!"
A low voice came: "It's so impressive!"
One-eyed man's eyes sank: "Du Jian!"
A middle-aged man walked out.
This man is called Du Jian, a famous master of the Du family. Before the one-eyed man recovered from his disability, he was known as the most powerful warrior in Baisong Town. At this moment, Du Jian was followed by a young man, Du Feng, who was beaten by the Snow Wolf mercenaries.

Du Feng had a triumphant smile on his sinister face.
The one-eyed man seemed to be about to spit fire, and snorted, "So that's it, you're the ones behind this!"
The captain of the soldiers took a step forward, "Please hand over Oscar!"
"How ridiculous!" The one-eyed man drew out his long sword, and the strong true energy made the blade vibrate, "Ask my sword if it agrees!"
Swish!
All the mercenaries drew their weapons.
The Du family didn't have enough people, and if they really got into a fight, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat the Snow Wolf mercenaries.
Oscar walked out, his expression calm, and said, "If they want to investigate, then let them investigate. I'll go over there. I'm not afraid of my own shadow, so it's okay."
The law enforcement captain gave a look, and the soldier took out cold handcuffs and handcuffed Oscar's hands.
Alice ran out, crying, "No! Please, don't arrest the young master!"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Oscar saw Alice was sad, and felt a little sorry for her. He glanced at Du Feng with a cold look in his eyes, "I want to see what tricks you have."
"Let's go!"
The law enforcement captain pushed Oscar and surrounded and escorted him away.
The one-eyed man looked very ugly, and he shouted to a group of people: "Listen, if he loses a hair, I will kill your whole family!"
The soldiers shuddered when they heard this.
"One-eyed boss, this is simply a trap!" Tie Niu shouted angrily. Oscar was his savior. "Are we just going to watch Brother Oscar being wronged?"
One-eyed's expression was very gloomy. "This matter is not simple."
"Why?"
"I know that mayor. He is a coward! How dare he touch my people without anyone's support? That coward has always been afraid of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. This time he captured Oscar to take the opportunity to kill our prestige! He was used!"
"You mean the Du family..."
"More than that!" One-eyed's expression became solemn. "Oscar is in big trouble this time."
In this chaotic era, the laws in different places are different, and the constraints are generally not high. After all, it is fists that speak. The Snow Wolf Mercenaries are quite powerful. The headquarters is located in the distant Snow City. The White City hundreds of miles away is just a branch.
A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake.
In terms of local power, the Du family is a little worse than the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. If they find allies, it will be different.
"Uncle One-Eye." Alice wiped her tears and held a parchment scroll. "This is what the young master left behind. He said he must send it to Grandpa Zhao Pu in Baicheng."
One-Eye opened the parchment scroll and saw dense words and symbols. He couldn't understand it at all. "What is this? Tie Niu, ride a fast horse and go to Baicheng in person."
Alice was frightened by a series of changes and her face turned pale. She was at a loss.
Oscar was everything to her.
The good life has just begun!
An hour later, Baisong Town announced that Oscar had been arrested and would be tried publicly tomorrow!
This matter has attracted a lot of attention. Oscar is a member of the Snow Wolf Mercenaries. The mercenaries are bold and might come to rob people. If this really happens, the mayor will lose face. Therefore, Oscar was locked up in an iron cell specially for half-orcs, and a team of soldiers was added to guard the door.
The prison was gloomy, the fire basin was crackling, and there was a faint sound of water dripping.
Oscar was changed into a thin prison uniform, handcuffed and shackled, squatting in the corner of the cell, surrounded by rough hay, barely enough to keep warm. Four soldiers stood outside the iron gate, guarding the door.
"Oscar, how does the cell taste?"
The iron gate was opened a little, revealing Du Feng's gloomy eyes.
Oscar sat cross-legged in the haystack, closed his eyes and said lightly: "I knew you would come. I have to say that you did a good job! But do you think you can overthrow me with this?"
Du Feng laughed, "I have plenty of ways to get that little maid. I said that I never couldn't get what I wanted."
Oscar laughed sarcastically, opened his eyes and said, "It's not certain who will have the last laugh."
Du Feng smiled grimly, "I'll tell you the truth. The Snow Wolf mercenaries have been arrogant for a long time, and the mayor has long been dissatisfied. Since they have run into the gun, it's just right to use you to suppress the Snow Wolf's arrogance! You violated the bottom line of the magic world, and it's useless to have Zhao Pu's support. You're dead!"
Du Feng couldn't help asking: "I'm very curious, where did you get those spells?"
"I wrote them!"
"What a joke!"
Oscar closed his eyes again, "Believe it or not."
The iron gate was closed.
A night passed.
The next day, Oscar was escorted to the execution court.
Countless reporters from newspapers, magazines, and radio stations had already arrived.
The judge was the town mayor, Wang Jian, a man in his 40s, a little bald, ordinary-looking, short and fat, with a big belly. He walked to the presiding judge's seat and scanned the whole audience with his green bean eyes. In addition to the media, many people from the Snow Wolf Mercenaries, the Du family, and the Li family came.
Wang Jian cleared his throat, stared at Oscar in handcuffs, and put on a dignified expression, "Oscar, do you know your crime!"
Oscar replied calmly: "I don't know."
"Let this mayor tell you!" Wang Jian shouted, "Bring him up!"
A young warlock in his early 20s came in. When he saw Oscar, he suddenly burst into tears and knelt directly in the middle, "Mr. Mayor, you must make a decision for me. It was him who plagiarized the hard work of me and my teacher! You must bring him to justice!"
Wang Jian said to Oscar: "What do you want to say?"
Oscar laughed, "Since we have rehearsed it, I will just treat it as a show."
"Bold!" Wang Jian was furious and snorted coldly: "This mayor is fair and just, how could he bend the law for personal gain? Keep talking!"
The sorcerer continued, "I was adopted by my teacher. He was very kind to me. These five spells were completed by my teacher and I. Before my teacher died..." The sorcerer was in tears and described the incident clearly. He suddenly stood up, pointed at Oscar and cursed, "This unscrupulous beast! He actually did something that hurt the world. I don't care about his reputation. I just want the mayor to give me and my teacher justice!"
Wang Jian asked again, "Do you have any evidence?"
"Yes!" A thin middle-aged man with a goatee stood up and clasped his fists to everyone, "My name is Li Dahai, and I am the president of the Li Family Sorcerer Association. This friend's teacher was once a member of the Li Family Sorcerer Society. I have kept some of the research notes on spells and can submit them as evidence."
At this time, Du Feng stood up, "Mr. Town Master, I can prove that Oscar is a despicable and shameless villain. With his talent, it is impossible for him to research spells!"
"What is the evidence?"
"What I have in my hand is Oscar's gambling record in the Du family casino. He has been gambling every day since he was fourteen years old. He has lost a total of 5.21 million copper coins and lost all his family property. How can a person who is addicted to gambling spend most of his time in the casino delve into the profound and mysterious art? In addition, Oscar likes to form gangs and bully in Baisong Town. He has done a lot of bullying in the past, and there is solid evidence for each of them. His former neighbors are all witnesses. Therefore, it is entirely possible that he has committed the crime of plagiarism!"
"Show it up!"
Du Feng handed over a large stack of information.
Wang Jian flipped through it and his expression became gloomy. "The evidence is overwhelming. At this point, you still don't plead guilty?"
Oscar looked indifferent.
Du Feng turned his head to face the media, pointed at Du Yun and said, "This man deceived the world and stole the name. Now there is solid evidence. If he is not severely punished, where is justice and where is the way of heaven!"
Wang Jian made a decision, "Oscar is guilty of plagiarizing the results of the art of Taoism. He will be escorted to the law enforcement agency of the art of Taoism to receive the verdict tomorrow!"
In this world, the crime of plagiarizing the results of magic is sometimes more serious than the crime of murder!
Because murder is common, especially for civilians or slaves, their lives are as cheap as grass, even if a few are killed, it's no big deal. This is even more so in the chaotic North.
The crime of plagiarizing results is different. The art of Taoism is the engine that drives the development of civilization. No matter where in the mainland, as long as civilization still exists, the protection of the knowledge of the art of Taoism is very strict and harsh. If someone steals the research results of the art of Taoism and causes an impact, the crime is serious.
At the least, he will pay a huge amount of compensation, and at the worst, he will be sentenced to death by hanging!
Oscar's face was calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
