"I am the contractor of the elemental spirit! Calm down, let's have a good talk!"

In desperation, Maggie had no choice but to shout loudly at the little green bird.

With no other option, Maggie had to resort to her most effective identity: as an elemental spirit, the little green bird should care about the life and death of her companions.

If they can have a good talk, Maggie is confident she can calm him down.

After saying this, Maggie silently apologized to Roy in her heart. It was a bit unethical of her to take advantage of the little green bird's feelings for its own kind.

However, this was the only method she could think of in this crisis.

Sure enough, as soon as Maggie finished speaking, the storm in the conference room seemed to freeze, and all the broken pieces fell to the ground.

Maggie finally breathed a sigh of relief and removed the defensive barrier from her body.

She looked up and saw the little green bird staring at her with an angry look, but it seemed helpless against her.

"You shameless human! You actually dared to threaten me with your own kind!"

Mandel's voice was quite mature and experienced, but after turning back into the little green bird, his voice became noticeably more childish and sharp. This angry accusation was so intense it almost pierced Maggie's eardrums.

It's extremely ear-piercing.

Maggie couldn't help but frown before she managed to speak.

“I am not threatening you with your companions. Roy is my good friend. I did not use enslavement magic.”

Although she was a little upset, she still tried to defend herself.

Maggie thought of herself as someone with a limited conscience, a wicked nature mixed with malice, a kind exterior but a terrible core, but she was absolutely sincere towards Roy.

"..."

The little green bird didn't speak; this time, its eyes held not only anger but also a deep disbelief.

“I’m telling the truth. Never mind, whether you believe it or not, I can explain this.”

Maggie rubbed her throbbing temples. She hadn't known that Mandel was an elemental spirit, and her attitude had been a bit poor, so now the little green bird probably wouldn't believe what she was saying.

"Is there anything you'd like to say?"

The little green bird was on high alert, its feathers were all ruffled, simply because it was so angry that its feathers were standing on end.

"I didn't break the seal on purpose. When I entered the library, I didn't know that something was sealed inside."

Maggie is actually someone who's too lazy to explain herself; if she can resolve a problem with force, she'll use force.

But when facing elemental spirits, these rather naive little creatures, Roy's kind, she was able to muster 200% patience.

"You're lying! You liar!!!! How could you, a mere human, have accidentally destroyed the seal set up by my king if you hadn't come prepared!"

The little green bird exploded again after hearing Maggie's words, his accusations tinged with a hint of grievance. Clearly, Maggie's actions had caused his mission to fail, which was hard for him to accept.

Even the wind in the room seemed to be stirring again.

"No! Don't be angry!"

Maggie quickly stopped him from losing his temper again.

This little thing has an even worse temper than the little ghost; it's like a firecracker, it'll ignite at the slightest touch.

Effective communication has become significantly more difficult.

Maggie was helpless.

"Have you ever considered the possibility that your king might... well... have encountered some minor problems, causing the seal to become weak?"

Although Maggie knew that the Elemental King was very weak, she was afraid that the little green bird would explode again, so she could only try to get it to accept it by using a very tactful way of speaking.

Unfortunately... it failed again.

A gust of wind brushed past Maggie's face, its sharpness stinging her skin. At that moment, the little green bird was flapping its wings, and the wind was emanating from its wings.

Perhaps because Maggie is a contractor of elemental spirits, the little green bird did not actually harm Maggie; it could only be considered a threat.

He was so angry that he couldn't speak, and this was the only way he could warn Maggie to stop spreading rumors about their king.

"!"

The little green bird was so angry that its heavy breathing echoed throughout the entire conference room. After a long while, it finally caught its breath and screamed in a shrill voice that it could not suppress.

"You wretched human!!! You're not allowed to speak again! How dare you imagine that something is wrong with the King! You have no idea how powerful the King's authority is!!"

The little green bird's frantic voice reached Maggie's ears, making her feel as if not only her eardrums but also her brain was about to be perforated.

It's so sharp and piercing.

"..."

But after hearing what the little green bird said, Maggie was truly speechless.

Well, another top-tier die-hard fan of the King of Elements, on par with the little ghost. If there isn't an elemental spirit to vouch for her, there's no way the little green bird will believe her today.

"Sigh, how long has it been since you last returned to the Elemental Source Realm?"

Maggie touched her brow and sighed softly.

Left with no other option, Maggie resorted to her last trump card, asking a question that seemed designed to strike at the heart of the matter.

The main thing is to look at the situation of this little green bird. It seems that the Elemental King arranged for him to stay on the continent of Coral to guard the seal of Philomona.

If nothing unexpected happens, he has probably not left the seal for a very long time, and naturally has not returned to the Elemental Source Realm.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be in this state, unaware of the current state of the Elemental Source Realm.

Since Roy and Little Ghost hadn't returned to her side for so long, Maggie knew that the situation in the Elemental Source Realm was probably very bad.

"..."

As expected, after hearing Maggie's question, the little green bird stopped cosplaying as the little bomb and fell into an eerie silence. After a long while, it finally spoke stubbornly.

"Whether I have returned or not, as long as the King is here, there will be no problem with the Elemental Source Realm."

Right after he finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to realize something, and looked up at Maggie with a strong sense of disbelief in his voice.

"How do you know about the Elemental Source Realm? Did my kin tell you?! The King said long ago that our homeland must not be exposed to humans."

His gaze towards Maggie shifted repeatedly, unpredictable, and it was unclear whether he was secretly cursing that kinsman who lacked any sense of boundaries.

The amazing thing is that Maggie actually understood the complex look in his eyes.

The silence in my heart is indescribable.

“Roy won’t tell me these things. I found out through other channels, and I won’t tell you this. Don’t rush to question me. I suggest you go back and check on your king. His condition is very bad right now.”

Maggie was also completely helpless with the little green bird, so she could only use the most straightforward method to make him see reality clearly.

Her long string of words was so informative that it almost made Little Green Bird crash on the spot.

After a long pause, he finally revealed an indignant expression and uttered a sentence to Maggie.

"Hmph, then I'll go back and check first. If you dare to deceive me, human... you will pay a bloody price!"

However, his words sounded somewhat blustering.
