Of course, the king would not be stupid enough to do as the elf girl said. In fact, even if Ellie didn't say it herself, he could guess what was going on.

The reason was simple, because not long ago, the Garen territory in the north of the kingdom was attacked by unidentified forces, the lord was killed, and the town was burned down. Among the corpses, many traces of elves were found. Not only that, after comparing the traces, it can be confirmed that these elves killed the residents of the town, set fire to the town, and then were killed.

As for who killed them… is there any need to ask? Although the members of the Adventurer's Association also died in the fire, according to the registration information of the Adventurer's Association, Ai Li and her friends were first registered as adventurers there, and they also received the endorsement of the lord.

From this, it can be seen that the witch lady must have a good relationship with the other party. In this way, we can almost guess what is going on.

Originally, the king was planning to question the elves about this matter and ask them what happened to those elves - but there is no need to ask now, because the Fairy Village was destroyed, the main force of the elves was completely annihilated, and only a few elves outside escaped by chance, and there were not many of them. It can be said that the elves used to be a force that could stand on equal footing with humans, but now... hehe, because of the existence of the Elf Cult, they are only slightly stronger than humans.

By the way, it’s time to get rid of this Elf Cult…

Ellie didn't care about what happened in the palace, but there was one thing she had to ask clearly.

“…Rimuru went to the territory of the Kings’ Alliance??”

After hearing Mengmeng's report, Ai Li was confused.

"Yes, it heard that Sister Ai Li and the others needed to explore the seven labyrinths, so it volunteered to go to the territory of the kings to investigate... According to it, slimes are monsters, and they will not attract other people's attention or suspicion..."

"That being said... Well, I think it shouldn't be a big problem."

Ai Li thought about it and felt that there was no need to worry about Rimuru. After all, he had a system, and although he was a slime on the surface, his level was not low, and he was also invincible - he was crushed by Azisa before simply because of the restraint.

After all, Yazisa is the "Slime Killer".

There shouldn't be such perverts among monsters.

Instead, there was another thing that made Ai Li very confused.

After bringing the children to Wanhua Valley, Ai Li also asked Xiaobai to identify them. To Ai Li's surprise, the results showed that all these children were reincarnated, and they were all Xiaobai's classmates!

If this is a coincidence, then the probability is so low!

In other words, the elves are consciously collecting reincarnated people? In other words, the real target of these elves is actually the reincarnated people with systems, and they deliberately abduct other children behind the scenes because they want to confuse people and make them not know what they are doing? This is also normal. After all, there are so many cases of child abduction and trafficking that the kingdom cannot investigate them all. There are even more missing children, and no one will find that there is a problem with any of these children...

The elves in this world are so disgusting. I have never seen any elves more disgusting than this.

By the way, what exactly are these elves doing by collecting reincarnated people?

… Never mind, it doesn’t matter. After all, it can’t solve the problem, and it’s the same for solving the people who created the problem. All the elves have been killed, so there’s no point in them doing anything.

Xiaobai also talked to them and found out that these children were reincarnated in the last two or three years, some were reincarnated earlier, some were reincarnated later, and Xiaobai was the latest to be born. Not only that, even the teacher in the class was reincarnated, the elf girl from before... But no one knew where she went. Anyway, Ai Li didn't kill her, and the others probably didn't want to see her again.

After leaving those children behind, Ai Li returned to the city again, because those children also asked her to find out about their parents' current situation. Although as reincarnations, they did not really think of them as their parents in the strict sense, they were still the people who raised them. In addition, in addition to some parents who were obsessed with money, there were also some parents who had to sell their children out of helplessness, so they also wanted to see how these parents were doing now.

This was certainly not a difficult thing for Ellie, but when she just walked into the city, she was stopped by people from the Adventurer's Association.

"Oh, witch lady, you finally showed up. Please go to the palace quickly. The king is looking for you urgently!"

"Looking for me?"

Looking at the members of the Adventurer's Association in front of her, Ellie tilted her head in confusion, and the latter nodded desperately.

"Let's go to the palace quickly. I heard that the matter is very urgent."

How could it not be urgent? The king personally issued a commission to the Adventurer's Association, asking them to find Ellie and inform her of her coming to the palace. This ordinary commission was distributed to every branch of the Adventurer's Association, so that there were adventurers watching almost every town and village in the Kingdom of Balbania... As a result, their efforts paid off, and they actually found her.

So Ai Li, who was caught, had no choice but to go to the palace again. When she walked into the hall, she saw the king sitting on the throne. In the hall, there were not only ministers and guards, but even Kaori and the others. There was also an elf girl with red eyes standing next to her, staring at her fiercely.

"Uh... Your Majesty, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ellie glanced at the elf girl and then looked at the king, who nodded.

"Hello, Silver Witch. I'm not here to ask you for anything else this time... As you can see, this Miss Philimes accused you of destroying the Fairy Village and killing all the elves. That's why I asked you to come here to inquire about the situation."

"oh……"

Hearing the king's question, Ellie nodded, then she looked at the elf girl - yes, the one she had let go before.

So Ellie nodded lightly.

"Yes, I did it."

"Why?!"

Hearing Ai Li's admission, Kaori and the others were also shocked. They only knew about this after they came back from exterminating the monsters outside. Knowing that the king would question Ai Li about this, these students couldn't help but come to see what was going on. To be honest, they... well, they really believed that Ai Li could do such a thing. After all, when Ai Li trained them before, she had already made these people very clear about how terrifying this beautiful and powerful witch was. So if she could completely wipe out the elves' tribe without changing her expression, then it was not impossible.

But why did Ellie do this?

"Oh? Why are you doing that?"

Just when everyone was confused, the king also asked the question, and Ellie shrugged her shoulders.

"It's actually no big deal. I found out that the elves attacked the human territory and killed the lord. I happened to be familiar with that lord, so I thought..."

As she spoke, Ai Li looked towards the elf girl.

"Since you can come to our human territory to kill and burn people, it is not too much for me to go to your elves' territory to kill and burn people. After all, it is rude not to reciprocate..."

“You, you are talking nonsense…!”

Hearing this, the elf girl turned pale with anger, and at this moment, the Glory of the River of Heaven also jumped out again.

"As expected, it was you who did it, you witch. I knew you were a spy for the demons! You wanted to weaken the power of humans, so you went to destroy the elves! No matter what lies you use to cover it up, you can't hide your crimes!!"

However, the king was not as indignant as Tian Zhihe Guanghui thought. He just pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke.

"We did investigate this matter, and we also found the elf's body on the battlefield..."

"She must have framed me!"

Tian Zhihe Guanghui spoke again, and this time everyone couldn't help but look at him, but Tian Zhihe Guanghui didn't care about the gazes of the crowd at all, just stared at Ai Li, just like a prosecutor looking at a heinous criminal in the court.

"But why didn't you report this to us?"

At this moment, a minister standing next to the king also spoke, but Ellie just glanced at him indifferently.

"It's just a small matter, why should I tell you? Besides... I'm not a citizen of this country, so there's no need for me to report it to you."

“Woo…”

Facing Ellie's eyes, the minister subconsciously took a step back, and at this moment the king spoke again.

"Since you have obtained our country's adventurer certification, you must abide by our country's laws."

"Oh... there's such a thing? Sorry, I'll definitely do it next time."

"Um."

The king also nodded, as if to say, "Don't do it again next time."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"Are you okay? I'm leaving now."

After saying this, Ellie turned and left. Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned and had no idea what was going on. They thought the two sides would have a verbal battle, but Ellie said very straightforwardly, "Yes, I did it," while the king said, "Don't do it again next time," and then... Is this the end?

"Oh, yes, there is one more thing."

Just as they were about to leave the hall, Ellie seemed to remember something, patted her forehead, turned around and pointed at the elf girl.

"She is the mastermind behind the child trafficking case that happened in the kingdom before. Although the elves were the ones who carried out the operation, she was the mastermind. This is one of the reasons why I am going to eliminate the elves. You can handle the rest."

"Okay, I understand."

The king nodded and waved his hand sharply.

"Someone, arrest her for me!"

"yes!!"

Following the king's order, the fully armed guards all around rushed forward and pinned down the elf girl.

Seeing this scene, the gods who were watching nearby were completely stunned, including Kaori. No one expected that the plot would take such a sudden turn in the end. Ai Li, who was accused of destroying the Elf Village, was fine, but the elf girl who was a survivor of the elves was arrested instead?

“Wait, wait, why…!”

The elf girl obviously didn't expect that she would be caught. She struggled and shouted loudly, and at the same time, Ellie's voice sounded again.

"Didn't you figure it out? No wonder you ended up in this situation. Simply put, you are no longer useful, Miss Elf. Moreover, the things you have done are enough to get you executed."

"I, I'm trying to protect my students!"

"Well said. So you can understand those parents out there who have lost their children and want to tear you into pieces. They are only doing it for their children."

Having said this, Ellie nodded to His Majesty the King.

"Well, Your Majesty, I will take my leave now. I have already submitted the report on the child abduction case involving elves to the Adventurer's Guild."

"Okay, thank you for your help, Miss Witch."

The king was kind and smiled as he nodded to Ellie. Others might not understand why he was so kind to Ellie, but the king knew that she had helped him solve a big problem. You know, there have been many cases of child kidnapping and trafficking in the kingdom in recent times, which has caused the king a lot of headaches. Although the black market auction of Foss was destroyed by Ellie and others, the mastermind behind it has not been caught.

But now, Ellie brought the prisoner directly to him, and they were elves who had been exterminated and had no power. Plus, the king had always wanted to find an opportunity to crack down on the Elf Cult. It could be said that this was simply handing a pillow to the king when he was sleepy. In addition, with the report that Ellie handed over to the Adventurer's Association, as long as he announced publicly that the elves were the masterminds behind the child abduction, and then took this opportunity to vigorously crack down on the Elf Cult, it would be perfect!

Not only can he catch the criminal, but he can also restore his prestige. The only thing he needs to sacrifice is the worthless elf... Is there anything better than this?

Thinking of this, the king also smiled.

The others looked at this scene, not knowing how to react. At first, they were worried that Ellie would fall out with the king because of this, but unexpectedly, instead of falling out, the two looked like they were working together. On the contrary, the poor elf girl was tied up on the ground like a criminal, and from what they said, it seemed that she was going to be executed?

What on earth is going on?

Their brains are completely confused.
