Upon hearing that Li Aili was Panticil's assistant, everyone who looked at her became more wary.
Panticil said, "Let's go into Elemental Paradise first, see what's inside, and then we can talk."
The old sage, awakening for the second time, said weakly, "No..."
A listless, aged bubble rose from the head of Saint Eugene:
At least, at least we need to stall until the other legal experts arrive... and together we can deal with this 'rogue lawyer'.
Panticillin took out a photographic stone. "Could you repeat what you just said?"
Upon seeing the recording stone, Eugene's alert level instantly spiked.
"What...what do you mean?"
Panticillin didn't care and said to the photo-taking stone, "Let me see how many people are here, one, two, three, four, five..."
"171 people heard what you just said."
Eliminate any monks who might give false testimony for you.
There are also 106 honest and kind people here who will testify in court.
Saint Eugene was completely bewildered. "W-what certificate? What certificate??"
Panticillin asked, "I said, let's go to the Elemental Park and see what's inside before we talk."
"And then, how did you answer?"
Saint Eugene: "I said, not now!"
Panticillin put away the photographic stone with satisfaction. "Very good."
He turned to his 'assistant' Li Aili and said:
"Make a record of this; the monk is suspected of illegally imprisoning intelligent beings."
And rejected the legitimate exploration requests from the '(non-human) intelligent beings joint committee'.
They might even try to destroy evidence while we're dealing with them.
"Any elemental life that dies while we are not inside, we are suspected of murder and will prosecute those present at the scene..."
"In, in, in! You can all go in!!!" the Sage roared.
The old man's face was purplish-red, and his neck was covered with bulging blue veins.
Looking at the time again, only three minutes had passed since the old sage solemnly swore in his heart to defend the gates of the Elemental Paradise.
Li Aili: "..."
The members of the special team established by 'Non-Intelligence Alliance', along with a large group of reporters, all followed behind Pantishlin and swaggered into Element Paradise.
The mages blocking the entrance stood like a 'ceremonial guard,' in two rows, staring wide-eyed as they swaggered into the Elemental Paradise.
Li Aili took out parchment and a quill pen, determined to play the role of 'legal assistant' well.
Soon, two wind elements drifted towards them.
The wind elemental has a bubble on its head:
Ah, why did our master order us not to speak?
【have no idea. 】
They even ordered us to pretend we didn't understand what they were saying... How strange.
A lot of people came.
Ah! My master is watching me.
Mine too.
[Hurry up and finish the mission; I don't want to die because of saying a single word.]
【Um. 】
Li Aili: "..." Heh.
Two wind sprites walked up to the group.
A reporter, holding a photo-taking stone, said to the wind sprites, "Hello."
The two wind sprites did not react.
The reporter switched to a different language, "Hi?"
The wind sprite still didn't react.
At times like this, the worst thing is a sudden mishap; the reporter was sweating profusely.
Just as the mages were keeping a close eye on Panticilin, preventing him from causing any trouble, Li Aili suddenly spoke up and asked:
"Hey, who are your owners?"
The wind elementalist subconsciously glanced at the two mages in the mage group.
The people from 'Non-Intelligent Link' and the reporters followed the gaze of the wind element.
I saw two mages in the mage group blush and turn pale.
Li Aili nodded. "Oh, your master instructed you to pretend you can't speak."
"And pretend you don't understand us."
Li Aili looked at Panticillin, "What charge should this be brought against?"
Panticillin looked at Li Aili with approval and began to list the charges one by one:
"Obstructing judicial fairness".
"perjury."
"Deliberate persecution"
...
He rattled off seventeen or eighteen points in one breath, until the two mages, supporting each other, fed each other magic potions.
The scariest thing is that, at some point, Panticillin took out the recording stone again.
After recording this segment, he put the recording stone away with satisfaction.
After putting away the photo stone, Pantishlin politely turned to the monks and smiled kindly at them.
"Gentlemen, thank you for your cooperation."
“I’ve only been here for less than 10 minutes, and you’ve already given me so many charges that I can use to accuse you.”
"And they thoughtfully included evidence."
Panticillin sighed, "If only my opponents in court were as easy to deal with as you guys."
The mages: "..."
Old Master Eugene has already finished his third potion.
Panticillin glanced at his pocket watch. "You know my time is very valuable, right?"
"Because this trip is for charity, but as you should know, I hate giving without receiving anything in return."
"This can make me feel bad. If I'm too aggressive during the court hearing..."
Panticillin smiled gently. "Don't doubt it, it's aimed at you."
The mages: "..."
Li Aili suddenly asked, "So, where did you lock up the Elements?"
The monk: "..."
【Would we tell you?!】
[The fact that the elements reside in the underground paradise of the earth element is unbelievable!]
Li Aili: "Why don't we go find an underground paradise with earth elements?"
