Path of light

Chapter 716 717. Warning

"Roy, why did you come back from Sun Island Bay? How is the situation over there?"

It seems that every elf I meet will ask this question.

Miss Christine showed a surprised expression on her face. She walked out of the office and stood at the door to greet Roy.

The figure of the Silver Moon Elf looks so slender, but the two round long legs under the uniform are white and straight. For a moment, Roy was a little dazed. If it weren't for the bunch of crystal clear pointed ears that made him sober, Roy even felt that he was standing in front of a white-bone spirit.

"Uh... Oh, the situation in Sun Island Bay is relatively stable. The Sirens are fighting on the front battlefield for the time being. The mine guards only gave the Sirens some military assistance, so I came to Padstow City to take a look. After all, I am also a member of the Elf Elder Council. I can't always stay in Sun Island Bay...without showing up."

Roy avoided the clear eyes and was a little afraid to look directly at them.

Miss Christine, wearing a standard military uniform, exuded maturity and sexiness. She invited Roy in generously and asked him to sit on the long sofa in the lounge area. A Silver Moon Elf maid brought Roy a cup of fruit tea with floral fragrance.

Roy heard from Ms. Belinda that when the Silver Moon Elf nobles drink tea, there is not only fruit and honey, but also various vanilla flavors in the tea...

It is only now that he has really tasted the drinks of the Silver Moon Elf nobles.

Miss Christine sat down opposite Roy, and the other elves in the office were curiously peeking at Roy. In the Partington plane, the name of boss Roy is more famous than the name of Earl Swinburne. Everyone is curious about what kind of half-elf Roy is.

Roy took a sip of the teacup and asked Miss Christine:

"The Elf Elders Council has just been established. Is it very stressful?"

"It's not bad, actually." Christine forced a smile, her big blue eyes were as clear as the water of Moon Lake, and her beautiful face was so beautiful that it moved the heartstrings.

"The situation in the Sun Island Bay is relatively stable. I heard that there are gray dwarf bandits in the Queen Ivenni Islands. I plan to lead the magic airship fleet to the Queen Ivenni Islands, hoping to relieve the pressure of the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion."

"That's great."

Miss Christine's eyes lit up.

"When the elf nobles in the Royal City of Buenos Aires heard that the Dark Legion appeared in the Partington Plane, they always wrote to my father, suggesting that he withdraw all the elves from the Partington Plane before the Dark Legion occupied Padstow. If he knew that you blocked the Dark Legion in the Sun Island Bay, he would be very happy."

The two snow-white long legs made Roy a little dazzled. Roy took a deep breath and tried to divert his attention to other places.

Thinking about what happened to him recently, it seemed difficult to control his eyes when he saw the beautiful girl.

He stared at the two petals floating in the teacup, blew them away from his mouth, then stopped and said:

"But I guess I can't stay in the Queen Eweni Islands for too long. Since I finally flew here once, I plan to give the gray dwarf bandits a hard time."

Miss Christine pretended to be disappointed and said, "I thought you came to Padstow City specifically to visit the Elf Elders Council."

Roy had to straighten his body, "Actually, I am quite interested in the trial. If time permits, I would like to attend a trial as a member of the Council."

Miss Christine glanced at the elf assistant beside her, and the assistant handed over a booklet with understanding.

Miss Christine flipped through it casually, smiled and said:

"The trial is held every day. Since you really want to attend the trial, let's do it today. It just so happens that the case this time is a bit special. If it is not handled well, it may cause dissatisfaction from all parties. I feel more at ease with you."

Miss Christine stood up holding the booklet.

Roy felt that he might have fallen into a trap. He followed Miss Christine out of the office. Outside the room, Silver Moon Elf Councillors also came out of the room one after another. Roy checked carefully and found that there were exactly seven councillors. Miss Christine walked in front. The councillors each held documents and talked in a low voice while walking.

When he walked to the corner of the corridor, Roy saw Chief Berkeley who came in a hurry.

Seeing that he also joined the team, Roy whispered to Chief Berkeley: "Don't you have to attend every trial?"

"I'm so busy... How can I have time to attend all the trials! This trial is a bit special, and it was the elf warriors of the city defense guards who arrested the people, so I need to show up. I don't need to attend normally."

Chief Berkeley and Roy walked side by side. The relationship between the two was no secret in the military.

...

Roy followed a group of elves into the trial hall. The seats in this trial hall were also in a stepped shape. The bottom layer was the position of the elves on trial, and the opposite side was the witness seat, while Roy and other councillors sat in the jury seat.

Chief Berkeley told Roy that usually only one or two members would be sitting in the jury, but it was rare for all the members in Padstow to be present as they were today.

There were a few elves sitting in the audience of the courtroom, and they were gathered in groups of three or five. They seemed to be the relatives and friends of the elves.

This courtroom is not very big. There is a long sword and a badge with a thorny vine whip on the top of the head. There are also thorny vine reliefs around the room, which makes the atmosphere in the room seem particularly depressing.

Miss Christine walked to the seat of the presiding judge, and her position was almost the highest point in the room.

Since the members of parliament entered the room, the entire courtroom has become particularly quiet.

Roy has been to the courtroom in Castletown City. That courtroom is much larger than this courtroom. The seat where the presiding judge sits in the courtroom is connected to a vine. The presiding judge can move to any position in the room according to his own ideas.

But there is no chair in the courtroom here, and Miss Christine sits at the highest point.

After Miss Christine sat down, she rang the bell beside her, and the whole room suddenly became quiet.

Roy sat in the jury seat and looked down at the files.

For cases like this that enter the courtroom for trial, basically, the evidence has been found, and the trial stage is the stage of convicting the elves on trial.

So Roy only needs to review the entire process of the case, and when the elves on trial come out, the jury will reasonably sentence them according to their attitudes...

This is a case in which four half-blood elves robbed a Silver Moon Elf merchant.

Four half-blood elves robbed a Silver Moon Elf merchant at the door of a tavern and beat him up. The four half-blood elves robbed a purse with fifty-six magic crystals and nearly a thousand Koler, which is a robbery with a relatively large amount of money.

It was just that the Silver Moon Elf merchant chose to resist and called the city guards patrolling nearby. The four half-bloods were caught by the elf guards who rode on horseback before they ran far away.

The Silver Moon Elf merchant was just frightened, robbed of a bag of money, and beaten black and blue.

During the period of waiting for trial, the bruises on the face of the Silver Moon Elf merchant had disappeared.

Due to the conclusive evidence, the four young half-blood elves also admitted their crimes.

After some questioning, Miss Christine quickly convicted them.

Four young half-blood elves will be detained for one year.

For elves, the detention period is not very long, after all, they can live for eight hundred years.

In fact, Roy did not quite understand why these half-blood elves came to the Partington plane and did not find a job, but chose to rob in the city.

Although the young half-blood elves received the punishment they deserved, Roy felt that this was not enough...

Just before Miss Christine announced the end of the trial, she asked all the elves in the courtroom as usual if they had any opinions.

Roy stood up from the jury seat, and all the elves in the courtroom looked at Roy.

Especially the relatives and friends of the young half-blood elves, everyone was whispering about whether the person standing in front of them was "Boss Roy"...

"Everyone, I am Roy, I know everyone likes to call me Boss Roy, here, I have a few words to say to you."

Roy walked out of the jury seat, walked along the passage in the courtroom, and went directly to the podium below.

He looked around, and all the elves in the courtroom looked at him.

Those young half-blood elves even looked expectant. This boss Roy has always stood up for the half-blood elves...

A half-blood elf whispered, "Boss Roy..."

Roy said calmly:

"I know that many half-blood elves migrated from various regions of the Elf Continent. They must have suffered a lot along the way after walking such a long distance."

At this moment, even the relatives and friends of the four young half-blood elves were surprised...

But Roy changed the subject and said sharply,

"I don't think you came to the Partington plane just to test the case-handling ability of the City Defense Guard Corps, or to find loopholes in the laws and regulations in Padstow. Everyone came to the Partington plane to pursue a better life."

"So I hope you guys should calm down before making these wrong decisions. Think about it quietly. Can you afford the cost of failure? It is said that you should think twice before you act. "

Roy raised a hand,

"For the first offense, I will choose to forgive you. You can stay in jail. I will not pursue this matter again. "

"If he dares to commit the offense again for the second time, I will expel him from Partington. "

"If he wants to stay, I will give him a chance. I will send him to the battlefield of Partington plane to let them know what price our half-blood elf warriors paid to protect this plane. "

"So the elves who have done wrong must serve on the battlefield like the elf guards. If they encounter war, they are likely to die in battle. "

"You guys, do you remember what I said?"

Roy came to the four young half-blood elves and looked at them with cold eyes.

The four young half-blood elves nodded repeatedly and trembled under the escort of the elf guards, and they almost wet their pants.

"I'm not just saying these words to you, but to all the elves..."

...

Miss Christine didn't expect that Roy not only didn't say a word for the half-blood elves this time, but also warned those half-blood elves who committed crimes in the most severe tone not to do wrong things...

Standing in the corridor of the courtroom, with no other elves around, Miss Christine asked Roy who was about to leave:

"Roy, do you think the sentence for them is too light?"

Roy stopped, shook his head and said, "I don't have such an idea. After all, punishment is not the goal. What we hope to see is to make them return to the right path. I hope my warning can always hang over their heads, so that they can think more before doing stupid things."

Roy said, and gestured with his head.

Miss Christine laughed, and she said happily:

"This is why I set up the Elf Elders Council in Padstow. This city needs to establish public order."

"So...are these the things that the court has to deal with every day?" Roy asked curiously.

Miss Christine replied, "It's about the same. Fights, thefts, robberies, these types of incidents are more common, and the sentences will not be too heavy."

Roy didn't talk any more.

He looked at the stairs, waved to Miss Christine, and walked out.

When other young Silver Moon elves approached Christine, they couldn't help but want to chat for a while, and even racked their brains to win Miss Christine's favor.

In Miss Christine's eyes, Roy is definitely the most special one. He will not accommodate her for anything, nor has he done anything to please her deliberately...

However, it is this way of getting along that attracts Miss Christine the most.

She stood in the corridor, watching Roy's back with a sense of loss, pursed her lips, and then turned back to the office.

...

In just half a day, the few words that Boss Roy said in the courtroom spread all over the city.

He has always been standing up for the half-blood elves, but this time, Roy directly warned the half-blood elves on the Partington plane, which immediately made the half-blood elves panic.

Some half-blood elves even think that Boss Roy has succeeded in taking the position, and will slowly become like the Silver Moon Elf nobles in the future and start to exploit the half-blood elves.

There are also half-blood elves who think that Boss Roy did this to please the Silver Moon Elf nobles, such as Miss Christine of the Swinburne family.

Some half-blood elves felt that Boss Roy was just speaking the truth and warning all the elves from a neutral perspective.

In the following days, fully armed magic airships arrived in Padstow one after another.

On the day when the airport terminal of Padstow was full of magic airships, eight magic airships flew over the central square in succession, carrying a full ship of half-blood elf guards directly through the portal and arrived over Partington Island...
