As the highest judicial institution in Sulfur Mountain City, the Supreme Court has always been shrouded in a quiet and solemn atmosphere in the past. Just as the precept written on the hall requires "behave a good appearance, enforce the law rigorously, speak less and act with caution", the judicial organs that come and go
Staff members often have serious faces, concise words and quick actions, and are well received by the public, but today, the situation is somewhat different.
The previously silent corridors were filled with noises and quarrels, chained "prisoners" awaiting trial were packed in all the cells, and even the usually empty square was filled with people.
In the corner of the square, a huge goblin robot has turned into a pile of scrap metal. Perhaps, considering that it occupies less than half of the square, it should be called a steel forest or a steel ruin.
On the side, a group of goblins and gnomes were crying around it, and some goblins had even begun to dance their ancestral twisting dance (also known as tropical belly dance), seeming to regard this robot as their own family.
Farewell to it.
On the outside, many affected citizens were unable to appreciate this exotic "hot dance". Instead, following the tradition of Sulfur Mountain, they baptized these troublesome engineers with tomatoes and rotten eggs. Of course, there were also angry citizens around them.
There will be no shortage of goblin merchants selling "ammunition".
The guards of the Supreme Court have long been busy running for their lives and have no time to care about such trivial matters.
Since the detention center and the urban management headquarters were completely destroyed, there were many suspects who had nowhere to go. If the Sulfur Mountain City Prison was still intact, where else could they be transferred to? However, due to the aftermath of the last jailbreak, some minor criminals there
He was also transferred to a detention center. Now, he is directly at fault and can only be transferred to the Supreme Court.
All four offices under the Supreme Court have been dispatched, but it still feels that there is insufficient manpower.
The shouts, cries, beatings, and begging for mercy completely turned this formerly solemn and silent judicial palace into a haggling vegetable market.
At the same time, I frowned and tried to ignore the noise outside, but failed in the end. I had no choice but to order the guards to completely close the doors and windows, draw down the curtains, and give the court a relatively quiet environment.
Yes, court hearing.
My plan to escape overnight, oh no, it was an emergency mission, was ruthlessly rejected by Eliza from the beginning.
It is true that the Sulfur Mountain City can live without the Lich Roland, but after that miracle, he was vaguely called the fourth giant. The Supreme Judge Sleepless Man, the emperor behind Sulfur Mountain, suddenly disappeared. I am afraid that the earthquake caused by that will be worse than those who were attacked.
Much more serious.
The most important thing is that others are not prepared at all, not even the diplomatic documents are prepared. Traveling alone will only become a farce.
But if I still stay here as Roland, I'm afraid I can count how many bones are left tomorrow. I believe that these urban management officials whose hometowns have been taken away here will never have the patience to listen to my explanation.
It would be considered tolerant to dismantle me and make soup.
Although I have committed many crimes in my life that people have nothing to say about, this time, I am really innocent. I just said casually and waited to see the explosion and sparks. Who knew they would actually do it?
Really making that thing... I can't help but shudder when I think of that twenty-meter-plus steel giant.
"Is this a simple version of the Metal Titan? Is it enough to crush the legendary monster harvester? It seems like I accidentally made something amazing."
Of course, the other side of the power of Roland II is that it took a huge price to get rid of it, so the crime of Roland, the mastermind behind it, is even more serious.
So, I had no choice but to let the city management see "Lich Roland" riding a bone dragon across half of the city and fleeing directly from Sulfur Mountain City... At least, Lich Roland will not do it until the charges are cleared.
came back.
At this moment, the first trouble I encountered was right in front of me... This case was beyond the ability of any judge to handle it, and in the end I was the only one who took it personally.
On the judge's bench of the third court, I looked at the mountains of cases, the "innocent-looking" defendants below, and the excited urban management girls on the plaintiff's bench. I listened to them saying "Damn Roland",
"Wait until I feed you to the dogs." "Sir, Sleepless Man, please give us the authorization to draw your sword and execute him directly. I will divide him into thirteen parts and bring him back." "Momo doesn't care about any judicial transactions, please let Momo take the lead.
The team searched his house. There must be a lot of contraband in his house. Then we will sentence him to life imprisonment. Momo must entertain him well, hahahahaha." Listening to the nervous laughter of these homeless dark elves, I thought
I felt a little dizzy.
On the sidelines, prosecutor Catalina was reading the indictment and the evidence collected...
"At 4:20 in the afternoon, smoke suddenly broke out in the detention center. Then, taking advantage of the chaos, engineering masters from the outside and those inside the detention center joined forces, and both sides began the final assembly of the project together..."
"I have objections!! Now that the smoke has spread, how can you judge that it was my clients who assembled it!! Maybe my clients just planned to use the fireworks to make a barbecue lunch."
The goblin prosecutor Luo Wei, who wore a silver mask, directly interrupted his colleagues' speeches and instead made an extremely bizarre claim.
"Yeah, we're just roasting sweet potatoes/making smoked fish." There was also a commotion in the dock. Goblins and dwarfs liked this kind of thing best.
"There are only piranhas in the moat of Sulfur Mountain City. Let's grill the fish you come from! With your poor fishing skills, you will never succeed in your life." Katarina roared angrily. She is worthy of being a female hunter of the Amazon tribe.
, the golden horse tail moves with the wind, its momentum is as sharp as a blade, like a Valkyrie hunting, but the direction of concern is just a little bit off...
"No, as long as you use the right method, you can catch piranhas. We have Parker's fishing rod..."
Now I finally understand why Goblin Rowe, who is good at prosecuting, insists on defending his people. This guy is clearly messy, and he is very familiar with prosecutorial work. He knows that prosecutor Katrin likes to be more serious.
It is easy to be led into a dead end, so as long as the trial is turned into a farce, the trial will naturally be over...
In the past, it would have been okay to let this court trial, which was almost a farce, go by, but at this moment, for some reason, it was absolutely not okay!
"This cannot continue like this. If the goblins are found not guilty, then the lich Roland will have to bear all the blame."
Glancing at the urban management elves who were so angry that they were chewing on the table, I made up my mind to make the sinners deserve what they deserve... With the gnawed off iron plate as evidence, my bones are definitely not as hard as theirs.
.
"Lowe Gold Coin, were you there at 4:20 yesterday afternoon? Don't lie. You know the consequences of lying in my court."
Sure enough, as soon as I asked this question, the temporary defense attorney who had been impassioned just now became speechless.
I helplessly held my forehead, pretending to be helpless, but actually I was smiling under the mask.
"Boy, I know you won't stay at home obediently. Now, it's your turn to help me top the tank."
"Luo Wei. Gold Coin, you actually know the law and break it. You have lost all the face of the Supreme Court. Now shut up, and then go and sit in the dock. By the way, apologize to the urban management girls first. Let's see what you do.
What kind of disaster has it caused to other people’s families?”
After hearing this, Luo Wei threw down his mask, which meant that he had removed his identity as a judicial officer. After trotting over and bowing his head to apologize, he sat down in the dock with his compatriots like a primary school student and became a defendant completely.
"By the way, that guy, please bring me Death Storm. I guarantee with my knees that he will definitely participate. I don't know? That Death Storm in the King's Hall is the short one...
....”
"It's Mana Storm!!" The dwarf's unique high-pitched voice, like a child's, came out in the auditorium. Milhouse Mana Storm jumped directly over the hurdle, and then walked towards the dock.
I secretly praised this guy for being a bachelor, but halfway through, I saw him turning around and calling me.
"Since you have committed a crime, you should be punished. What are you waiting for?"
Then... a crash came down... Among them were goblins and dwarves, but there were also humans and other races. There were thirty or forty people in total, probably all the engineering masters of the entire Sulfur Mountain City.
Done,
It seems that these engineering masters did not expect that there would be such a big fuss in the end, and now they have surrendered obediently.
.He shook his head helplessly and looked at the empty defense table.
"I can't find a suitable defender right now. You can defend yourself. Storm Eagle, tell me why you jumped out again even though it has nothing to do with you."
"Those evil engineers are all enemies of nature. Jiji, that unnatural creation made of black cursed things (an artificial giant made of black iron), that twisted existence with roaring rotation is inherently blasphemous to nature.
(That guy is a woodcutter, he must be the enemy of nature), woof woof, so we, the sons of nature, want to purify the cursed earth (so we have to kill him)..."
While trying to endure the common language he spoke with a strange accent, often with a few strange animal roars in between, I tried to translate it into human language at first, but looking at the onlookers who were also confused, I finally didn’t want to
I endured it.
"Speak humanly!! Otherwise I will lock you up with Sad Wind Eero!!"
The half-dragon's hobby of tragic wind has spread throughout the entire Sulfur Mountain City. His evil deed of catching a druid to make a creature is even more shocking. For the victim himself and his fellow druids,
That man was the literal embodiment of fear.
"Now he has forgotten that he is a human and thinks he is a dog! He chases his tail every day! What on earth did that half-dragon do to him!!"
"The Extremely Evil Dragon", "Druid's Natural Enemy" Sorrowful Wind. Aero, that's what the druids of Sulfur Mountain City call him... He is the Archdruid Storm Eagle. Hearing this
Name, I also shuddered instinctively.
"We saw the Iron Giant. It was against the teachings. My buddy said he should be beaten. I thought about it and felt that according to the book left by my grandfather, he should be beaten. So, I
So they beat him up, haha."
Looking at the big druid who was laughing silly, I... I had nothing to say, this time it was indeed direct enough, but when I saw this stupid face, I also wanted to beat him directly.
"Calm down, calm down, demeanor, demeanor, this is not the first time these guys are unreliable, don't get angry with them... Ahem, okay, next, there is the Paladin brigade that suddenly joined the battle, Tim
, I probably guessed what you did."
"Your Majesty, it is clear to you that we are only fulfilling the obligations and responsibilities of a Paladin."
"Well, when you saw that big robot demolishing a city wall, you shouted 'Holy Light, that evil is worth fighting' and 'Charge for the Holy Light', and then launched a charge at him? Then he demolished it easily.
Two other city walls and more than thirty bungalows?"
Well, I can understand that they are really depressed when their original opportunity to "act chivalrously and righteously" was snatched away by the judicial authorities. When they rarely get a chance to take action, they go all out to do whatever they want, but...
"That's only half of it. Why don't you tell me how you and the Druid got together? Do you think I don't know about the conflict between you and the Storm Eagle during the last streaking incident? Remember that later.
Give Old Bill the repair bill and hope his stomach is healed. The last time he vomited blood was really scary. Well, this time the bill will be tripled and I will be punished hard."
Ignoring Tim's expression of despair, I next turned my attention to a group of nervous young people.
"Lucas, you just transferred from Paladin to Justice Knight, why did you bring other Nanxiang students to participate in the trouble? And you specifically singled out your former colleagues to deal with them. Don't you know that law enforcement officers who know the law and break the law will get a first-class penalty?"
I am still very optimistic about this young man. Indeed, I and I are very curious about why they are all here for rescue, but in the end they become a group fight between the Paladin and the Justice Knight. If I remember correctly, the relationship between Lucas and Tim
It should be very good.
"I...I have no problem with Brother Tim. He has always taken good care of us. But, in addition to Brother Tim's Third Brigade, the First Brigade of the Holy Church also came, and they actually planned to rescue us heroically.
The beauty snatched the girl, all of a sudden, I couldn’t hold it back..."
Others were confused, but I understood instantly.
The first brigade in each region of the Holy Church, also known as the honor guard brigade, is more like a handsome knights team dedicated to etiquette and diplomacy than combat paladins.
The First Brigade has only one mission, to find local nobles and wealthy businessmen to collect donations, and emotional ladies are often more willing to spend money...
Therefore, every member of the First Brigade is carefully selected. Well, the requirements are to be beautiful and good at diplomacy. If you can accidentally make a noble lady happy, it would be better to donate more.
Therefore, when other brigades were busy fighting against evil, the first brigades were busy with drinking parties and dealing with ladies. While other brigades were training under the scorching sun, the first brigades were doing group facial masks in a secret room...
In addition, for the sake of glory, the horses and armor of the First Brigade are paid for and maintained by the church. This differential treatment naturally makes the First Brigade extremely poor in the eyes of other Paladins, but I want to say...
..
"Facial masks are so expensive and cannot be reimbursed, okay? It's hard to stay graceful when attending a cocktail party after drinking until you vomit, okay! You bastards think that ladies are all beautiful and beautiful? In fact, most of them turn into pigs, okay! That's greasy
No matter how disgusting the greasy pig's hand is, you have to endure it. If you accidentally chop it off, it will become a diplomatic incident, okay?"
"The most important thing... don't look at the fact that there are always women around. In fact, in order to attract noble ladies to raise funds, the First Brigade is not allowed to fall in love at all. They recite poems all day long, practice their handsome skills, and try to pretend to be romantic.
Holy shit, even if you rarely meet a good woman, you can only look at her but not eat her! This feeling is more uncomfortable than not being able to chase her, okay!!"
Okay, I didn't shout out any of the above roars... but it seems I accidentally revealed some dark history... Well, I went to the First Brigade when I was a knight's squire.
After that, he was always in the main battle force, but it took him a year to reverse those weird habits.
"Don't blame this little brother, we can understand, we can understand." The captain of the first brigade, Mu En, who was rubbing his hands, was a handsome blond guy. Not to mention, he instinctively flicked his hair and gave a wink to the side.
While the men were disgusted, there were women who exclaimed "so handsome", but I cast sympathetic eyes on them.
"The head shaking movements of the fifth and ninth postures, and the continuous winking movements of the sixth and third postures. It seems that the church has not changed much over the years. Judging from this proficiency, it is already a master level winking. In order to maintain the state, it must be practiced at least every day.
Three hundred times... I'm afraid I won't be able to speak normally anymore. I also habitually ogle at men. It's really extremely miserable."
So, I said to Lucas in a deep voice.
"Apologise to Captain Moon, now, immediately, immediately."
"No, no, little brother. We are all brothers in the Order camp!" Mu En said this, her eyes still wandering, as if looking for a target in the audience, and then she gave her habitual wink.
Floating randomly.
As a senior and experienced person, I know that it is a honed "foraging" instinct, but in the eyes of the young and energetic Lucas, it is a sign of not looking at people.
"I...I will never apologize!! Even if I can no longer be a knight of justice, I...I won't be a human anymore! I will go to the undead zone and become a black knight!!"
After finally finding a new faith, he found that he still had to bow to his old enemy. This young man (?) could not bear the harsh reality and ran away in tears... However, he had made some mistake, the undead
There are only death knights in the area, not dark knights...
Well, okay, back to the topic, by this time, things have become very clear.
First, engineers built giant robots. Then the city management came to enforce the law, but were suppressed by the mechanical giants with their huge size advantage. Then the druids entered the melee, and then the paladins came to eradicate the evil. At the same time, Tim
Taking advantage of the chaos, he led a team to settle an old score with the Storm Eagle, and the druid started fighting with the paladin again.
Later, they thought that the first team that came to the rescue was taking the opportunity to pick up girls, and Nanxiang's trainee justice knights took advantage of the chaos to take revenge... It was really chaotic. In the end, no one cared about the robot, and they all went their own way.
Yes, this clearly shows that you are taking the opportunity to deal with personal grudges.
If punishment is really needed, thousands of people will be imprisoned at once this time...and our prisons and detention centers are still in ruins, and no one died this time...this time
It was a pure accident.
"Snapped!"
So, I made up my mind and knocked the gavel.
"The court is temporarily adjourned, and all defendants are temporarily released. The suspects are not allowed to leave Sulfur Mountain City without the approval of the Supreme Court. The cost of damage repair compensation will be shared equally by all parties involved in the fight. At the same time, various units in the judicial system will speed up the repair work of detention centers and prisons, etc.
After we find the culprit Roland, we will hold court again."
Well, in the end it was all Roland's fault...and the indignant urban management officials were eager to catch Roland with their own hands.
"It seems that Roland will never come back... Eliza, do you think Rosie is better, or Robert?"
"..." Well, after yesterday's incident, she ignored me...
However, this trial made me determined.
"If I weren't here, these guys would be in trouble! Well, the members of the envoy this time have also been decided to bring all these living treasures with them, and by the way, repair the Roland 2, so that I can completely turn the underground covenant upside down!
