Chapter 716 717. Warning
"Roy, why did you come back from Sun Island Bay? How is the situation there?"
It seems that every elf I meet will ask this question.
Miss Christine showed an expression of surprise. She walked out of the office and stood at the door to greet Roy.
The person with the blood of Silver Moon Elf looked so slender, but the two round long legs under the uniform were white and straight. Roy was a little dazed for a moment. If it weren't for the pile of crystal clear pointed ears that woke him up, Roy even felt like he was standing in front of a certain white-bone demon.
"Um...oh, the situation in Sun Island Bay is quite stable. For the time being, the Krakens are fighting on the frontline battlefield. The mine guards only gave the Krakens some ordnance assistance, so I came to Padstow Let’s take a look at the city. After all, I am also a member of the Council of Elf Elders. I can’t stay in Sun Island Bay...without showing up.”
Roy avoided that clear gaze, a little afraid to look directly.
Miss Christine, who was wearing a standard military uniform, exuded maturity and sexiness. She generously invited Roy in and asked him to sit on the long sofa in the rest area. A silver moon elf maid brought it to Roy. Had a cup of fruit tea with floral aroma.
Roy heard Ms. Belinda say that when the Silver Moon Elf nobles drink tea, there is not only the aroma of fruit and honey, but also the flavor of various herbs in the tea...
Only now did he really taste the drink of the Silver Moon Elf nobles.
Miss Christine sat down opposite Roy. The other elves in the office glanced at Roy curiously. On the Partington plane, Roy's boss's name was louder than the name of Earl Swinburne. Everyone was I'm very curious about what kind of half-elf Roy is.
Roy took a sip from the teacup, and then asked Miss Christine:
"The Council of Elf Elders has just been established. Is it a lot of pressure?"
"Actually, it's not bad." Kristine forced a smile, her big blue eyes were as clear as the water of Moon Lake, and her clear face was so beautiful.
"The situation at Sun Island Bay is relatively stable. I heard that there are gray dwarf bandits on the Queen Egwene Islands. I plan to lead the magic airship fleet to the Queen Egwene Islands, hoping to relieve the pressure on the 17th Silver Pegasus Legion. .”
"That's great."
Miss Christine's eyes lit up.
"The elven nobles in the Royal City of Buenos heard that the Dark Legion appeared in the plane of Partington. They always wrote to their father, suggesting that he withdraw all the elves from Partington before the Dark Legion occupied Padsto. Dun plane, if he knows that you blocked the footsteps of the Dark Legion in Sun Island Bay, he will be very happy.”
The two long snow-white legs dazzled Roy. Roy took a deep breath and tried to shift his attention to other places.
Thinking about what has happened to me these days, it seems difficult to control my eyes when I see a beautiful girl.
He stared at the two petals floating in the teacup, blew the petals away from his mouth, then stopped and said:
"But I don't think I can stay in the Queen Egwene 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 a little disappointed and said: "I thought you came to Padstow City specifically to come to the Council of Elf Elders."
Roy had no choice but to straighten his body, "Actually, I am quite interested in court hearings. If time permits, I would really like to participate in a court hearing as a member of parliament."
Miss Christine glanced at the elf assistant beside her, and the assistant handed over a booklet with understanding.
Miss Christine flipped through it casually, pursed her lips and said with a smile:
"There are court hearings 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. A little mishandling may cause dissatisfaction among all parties. With you here, I feel much more at ease. .”
As she spoke, Miss Christine stood up holding the booklet in her hands.
Roy felt that he might have fallen into a pit, so he followed Miss Christine out of the office. Outside the room, one by one the Silver Moon Elf councilors also walked out of the room. Roy checked carefully and found that there happened to be seven There were several congressmen, with Miss Christine walking at the front. The congressmen each held materials and talked in low voices as they walked.
When he reached the corner of the corridor, Roy saw Chief Berkeley rushing over.
Seeing him joining the team, Roy asked in a low voice to Chief Berkeley: "Don't you have to attend every trial?"
"I'm so busy...how can I have time to attend all the court hearings! This trial is a bit special, and the elf warriors of the city defense group arrested the person, so I need to show up. I am not usually required to participate."
Chief Berkeley and Roy walked side by side, and their relationship was not a secret within the military.
……
Roy followed a group of elves into the trial hall. The seats in this trial hall are also in the shape of a staircase. The bottom floor is where the elves are being tried. Opposite is the witness seat, while Roy and other congressmen sit in the jury seat.
Chief Berkeley told Roy that usually only one or two congressmen could sit here on the jury. It was rarely the case today, and all the congressmen in Padstow City were present.
There were a few elves sitting in the auditorium of the trial hall. These elves gathered in groups of three or five, and they seemed to be relatives and friends of the recipient elves.
The trial hall is not that big. There is a long sword and a badge covered with thorns and vines on the top of the head. There are also reliefs of thorns and vines around the room, which makes the atmosphere in the room feel particularly depressing.
Miss Christine walked to the seat of the presiding judge. Her position was almost the highest in the room.
Ever since the deputies entered the room, the entire courtroom had become extremely quiet.
Roy has been to the trial hall in Castletown City. That trial hall is much larger than this one. In the trial hall, the seat where the presiding judge sits is connected to a vine. The presiding judge can move to the room according to his own ideas. anywhere in.
But there is no such chair in the trial hall here, and Miss Christine sits at the top.
After Miss Christine sat down, she rang the bell next to her, and the whole room suddenly became quiet.
Roy sat in the jury seat, looking down at the files.
For cases like this that go to trial in the trial court, the evidence is basically found, and entering the trial stage is the stage where the elf on trial is convicted.
So Roy only needs to review the entire process of the case, and when the elf on trial comes out, the jury will determine a reasonable sentence based on the attitude of the elf on trial...
This was a case in which four young mixed-blood elves robbed a Silver Moon Elf merchant.
Four mixed-blood elves robbed a silver-moon elf merchant at the door of a tavern and beat him up. The four mixed-blood elves grabbed a money bag with fifty-six magic crystals in it. There were nearly a thousand kolers, which was considered a robbery with a relatively large amount of money.
However, the Silver Moon Elf businessman chose to resist and called out to the nearby city defense guards. The four mixed-bloods were caught by the Elf Guard soldiers who arrived on horseback before they could run far.
The Silver Moon Elf businessman was just a little frightened. He was robbed of a bag of money and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen.
While waiting for the trial, the bruises on the Silver Moon Elf merchant's face had disappeared.
Due to the overwhelming evidence, four young mixed-blood elves also admitted their crimes.
After some questioning, Miss Christine was quickly convicted.
Four young half-blood elves will be detained for one year. For the elves, the period of detention is not very long, after all, they can live for eight hundred years.
In fact, Roy didn't quite understand that these mixed elves came to the Partington plane and instead of looking for a job, they wanted to rob in the city.
Although the young mixed-blood elf got the punishment he deserved, Roy felt that it was not enough...
Just before Miss Christine announced the end of the trial, she asked all the elves in the trial hall what their opinions were as usual.
Roy stood up from the jury seat, and all the elves in the trial looked at Roy.
Especially the relatives and friends of the young mixed-blood elf, everyone is whispering about whether the person standing in front of them is 'Boss Roy'...
"Everyone, I'm 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 box, walked along the passage in the trial hall, and walked directly to the podium below.
He looked around, and the eyes of all the elves in the trial hall fell on him.
The eyes of those young mixed-blood elves were full of expectation. Boss Roy had always stood up for the mixed-blood elves...
A mixed-blood elf whispered, 'Boss Roy...'
Roy said calmly:
"I know that many mixed-blood elves have migrated from various areas of the Elf Continent. Traveling such a long way must have suffered a lot along the way."
At this moment, even the relatives and friends of the four young mixed-blood elves were surprised...
But Roy changed the topic and his tone was a bit harsh,
"I don't think you came to the Partington plane just to test the city defense team's case-handling capabilities, or to find loopholes in Padstow's legal system. Everyone came to the Partington plane because In pursuit of a better life.”
"So I hope that before you make these wrong decisions, you'd better think calmly, whether you can bear the cost of failure, and think twice before you act."
Roy raised a hand,
"For this first offense, I will choose to forgive you. You can stay in jail. I will not pursue this matter again."
"If he dares to do it again 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 the Partington plane to let them know the price our mixed elf warriors paid to protect this plane."
"So the elves who have done something wrong must serve on the battlefield like the elf guard warriors. If they encounter a war, they are likely to die in battle."
"You guys, do you remember what I said?"
Roy came to the four young mixed elves and looked at them with cold eyes.
The four young mixed-blood elves, escorted by the elf guard warriors, shook their heads and almost wet their pants in fear.
"I'm not just saying these words to you, but to all elves..."
……
Miss Christine did not expect that Roy not only did not say a word to help the mixed elves this time, but also used the sternest tone to warn those mixed elves who committed crimes not to do wrong things...
< br>
Standing in the corridor of the trial hall, with no other elves around, Miss Christine asked Roy, who was about to leave:
"Roy, do you think their sentences are a little light?"
Roy stopped, shook his head and said: "I don't have such an idea. After all, punishment is not the purpose. Letting them return from their lost ways is what we want to see. I hope my warning can always hang over their heads and let them Think more carefully before doing something stupid. ”
Roy said, gesturing to his head with his hand.
This made Miss Christine chuckle, and she said happily:
"This is why I founded the Council of Elf Elders in Padstow, this city needs to establish public order."
"So... these are the things the trial court has to deal with every day?" Roy asked curiously.
Miss Christine replied: "More or less, there are more fights, thefts, and robberies, and the sentencing will not be too harsh."
Roy did not continue the conversation.
He looked towards the stairs, waved to Miss Christine, and walked straight 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 in order 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, and he has never done anything to deliberately please her...
However, it is this way of getting along that is most attractive to Miss Christine.
She stood in the corridor, watching Roy leave with some sadness, pursed her lips, and then turned back to the office.
……
In just half a day, the words Boss Roy said in the trial hall spread throughout the city.
He has always stood up for the mixed elves, but this time, Roy directly warned the mixed elves on the Partington plane, which immediately made the mixed elves panic.
There are even some mixed-blood elves who feel that Boss Roy has succeeded in ascending to the throne and will gradually become like the Silver Moon Elf nobles and start exploiting the mixed-blood elves.
There are also mixed-blood elves who believe that Boss Roy does this to please the Silver Moon Elf nobles, such as Miss Christine of the Swinburne family.
There are also some mixed-blood elves who feel that Boss Roy is just taking matters into his own hands and warning all elves from a neutral perspective.
In the following days, heavily armed magic airships arrived in Padstow City one after another.
On the day when the airport terminal of Padstow City was filled with magic airships, eight magic airships flew over the central square, carrying half-blood elf guard warriors directly through the portal and arriving over Partington Island... …
