Full-time mage: start from the lottery

Chapter 233 Judge

Mu Nujiao held the Kongming Lantern, her autumn eyes fell on it, curious and full of joy at the same time.

Ever since I was a child, I have never let off the Kongming Lantern!
In her impression, celebrating the Lantern Festival usually involves having dinner at home.

In the busy period of high school, cultivation takes up most of it, and there is very little free time.

This is my first time going shopping during the Lantern Festival.

"As long as you like it, let's go over there and light a fire and put out the lanterns. I heard that you have to pray before letting them fly."

Lin Guangbei held up the Kongming Lantern and smiled.

"Okay."

The two of them picked up their feet and walked towards a more open area on the river bank.

As for the need for a lighter or fire magic to start a fire, Lin Guangbei was not worried because he took a box of matches from the stall.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew.

"Huhu~~huhuhuhu~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

There was a messy air current at the scene, causing the lanterns hanging on the stalls to swing violently. Many people were panicking and feeling uneasy for a while.

From one side of the street, several mages rushed over.

"The judge is doing his work, stay here and don't move!"

The leader, a red-haired young man, shouted, immediately calming everyone down.

He frowned when he saw many people holding Kongming lanterns in their hands.

Then, a figure fell from the sky!
It was a man with a pale face, wearing a long robe, and the wings on his back were like eagle wings.

"That's Nighthawk! It's really the Inquisitor!"

"I've heard that name before, too."

"Why is he here?"

"Is it possible...that there are criminals among us? No way!"

"Hopefully nothing happens."

The citizens were discussing one after another and did not dare to act rashly. There was deep sorrow and uneasiness in their voices.

"Quiet!"

The red-haired young man roared, very irritated, and the scene instantly became quiet.

But the judge Nighthawk didn't pay attention. After falling down, he went straight to several stalls selling Kongming lanterns. Under the panicked eyes of those stall owners, he picked up a Kongming lantern and looked at it.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on him.

Without saying a word, Nighthawk held the Kongming Lantern to his nose again, sniffed the lantern with his aquiline nose, and immediately his eyes froze!
He said coldly: "Sure enough, there is a problem here too!"

The stall owners are a few middle-aged people, three men and one woman.

The middle-aged woman's teeth were chattering and she said hurriedly: "Sir, what we are doing is just a small business. If anything hits you, we are willing to pay you..."

Her voice sounded like she was about to cry, which made the citizens who bought lanterns from her worried.

But Nighthawk raised his hands and said expressionlessly: "No need to say anything more to me, just go to the trial meeting!"

"Sir! Let us go!"

"We really didn't do anything!"

"How can you arrest people for no reason? We didn't break the law. Why... bang!" Several people were still begging for mercy and arguing. The red-haired young man had a bad temper and stepped forward and slapped them.

The trainee judges flashed their handcuffs and quickly cooperated to handcuff the four people.

The red-haired young man watched Nighthawk fly away, and then said harshly: "It's useless to beg for mercy. Don't think that we don't know your details."

He immediately pushed the four people into the police car, but they did not follow the car.

Lin Guangbei only saw the red-haired young man greeting the others, and then he grabbed the Kongming lanterns one by one and threw them on the ground, gradually forming a pile of lanterns.During this period, some people wanted to resist, but they were quickly suppressed by the words "Judgement Meeting" and did not dare to take action. They could only stare angrily and let a few people grab the lanterns in their hands.

Complaints abounded, and there were many brave people who denounced it.

"This is what I paid for. Are you a bandit? Why?"

"What the hell are you going to do!"

"That's my lantern! Give it back to me!"

"Come on, let's go separately and see what they do..."

The crowd was in commotion, and soon many people left the scene in a hurry, holding the Kongming Lantern in their arms and preparing to run away.

Among the trainee judges, a girl who looked a little weak suddenly raised her voice.

"There's something wrong with these lanterns, please calm down."

She stopped a few people who were about to leave. Unlike the red-haired young man, this girl's posture was very low and her tone was very gentle.

"My voice may have been drowned out just now. Please listen to me again now."

"These sky lanterns are not ordinary lanterns. They may involve some hidden dangers. We can refund the money to everyone. Please be patient. We have no malicious intentions."

The red-haired young man was obviously a very arrogant young man, probably from a noble family, and he had no idea how to deal with this situation.

He cooperated and said anxiously: "We will also return the money when we collect the lanterns. Wait, we have a limited number of people after all..."

Several other trainee judges quickly took action.

They took out the money boxes from the stalls and distributed them to the citizens whose lanterns had been robbed.

In fact, this was what I planned to do just now.

But there were too many people at the scene, the weak girl's voice was a little quiet at first, and the person holding the money box didn't move fast enough, so this situation resulted.

However, many people noticed this, so there were still very few people leaving. The main reason was that the attitude of the red-haired young man aroused everyone's disgust at the beginning.

Lin Guangbei and Mu Nujiao were a little regretful, but they did not wander around. They just stayed where they were and waited for the weak female trainee judge to come over.

"Hello, trouble..."

"No trouble, here you go." Mu Nujiao handed over the green sky lantern in her hand and said with a friendly smile.

Although she was a little reluctant to give up, she also understood the importance.

Since even the judges have intervened in this matter, it means that there must be potential harm involved.

It's a pity that the Kongming Lantern can't be set off this time.

Lin Guangbei didn't hesitate, sighed, and threw the Kongming Lantern he finally bought into the pile of lanterns over there.

"thanks…"

The weak girl thanked her, but couldn't help being shocked by this move.

The pile of lanterns was 30 meters away from here, but it was thrown over by the boy in front of me. This kind of strength is really scary!

However, she didn't waste much time on this, and turned around to collect the Kongming lanterns from others.

"It's disappointing. Even setting up a Kongming Lantern can cause this kind of thing." Lin Guangbei became depressed.

These judges came at a very bad time.

A man and a woman, under the Kongming Lantern...

What a romantic scene, only to be ruined like that!

On the right side, Mu Nujiao was still looking at the pile of lanterns carefully.

Hearing what Lin Guangbei said, she showed a smile and said, "It's okay. We can also play something else. Aren't you going to guess lantern riddles? How about that?"
