"Who are you?"

Gawain looked at the strange old elf and asked with hostility.

"I'm Paganini, a scholar from the north, a high-level summoner, and you're holding my employer hostage."

Paganini replied politely, but he kept his eyes under the helmet in mind, trying to read the heart behind the black pupils.

This was the first time he had faced Adella's summoned beast. He had heard countless stories about the summoned beast before, and among the rumors it was an evil beast, a puppet that killed pokes, or a troublemaker.

This summoned beast intentionally or unintentionally destroyed several plans that Paganini had carefully prepared,

In a sense, this strange summoning beast was actually a byproduct of his scheme. It descended into this world during that unexpectedly failed summoning ceremony.

Paganini, or the Demon Master, had thought that what Adelia had summoned would be an insignificant summoned beast.

Because in this world, not many people care about a certain summoner in a certain place and summoning a new type of fourth-order summoned beast, except for some scholars who compile the encyclopedia of summoned beasts, no one will pay attention to such a low-level summoned creature.

However, it turned out that he was wrong.

The summoning beast freed Adelia from the consul's machinations and obtained admission to the Royal Summoning Academy, leaving his proud disciple with no bones left.

So he was curious about the monster. He wondered what kind of personality the summoned creature had and what was going on in its head.

So on this special occasion, Paganini was even interested in chatting with him more.

"I have to admit that as a summoned beast, you are very brave and have successfully completed this hijacking plan."

Although few people would take the initiative to talk to a summoned beast so much, Givens remained unmoved.

"You forced it. ”

"We?" Paganini raised his voice deliberately, "we're just trying to find out something about your master." But you have responded to us with the blood of a land. ”

Givens didn't bother to respond to such a meaningless lie, so he asked directly.

"Mr. Paganini, do you believe what you just said?"

Paganini paused for a moment, then smiled again. The summoning beast's reaction was beyond his expectations. It has enough intelligence, and it has a nimble mind and sharp speech, and this rhetorical question made him laugh dumbly.

He began to find the summoned beast an interesting opponent.

Perhaps, it could also be a useful pawn in his plans. He had tried to use the soul of his demon disciple to occupy the body of Adella's summoned beast, and then do something that had to be done.

But now it seems that things can be less troublesome.

Mr. Paganini finally decided to put an end to the small talk.

"Okay, we can leave those questions for later, but for now, I think we can make a deal. ”

Paganini glanced at the captured Quinn, and finally looked at Given's eyes again. Seeing that Givin noticed his proposal, he said again, "How about I release your sheriff friend and you release Patriarch Theresia?"

Under Jiwen's left hand, there was a writhing. Mr. Paganini's proposal stirred up Theresia and she seemed to see the light of escape.

A difficult choice was placed in front of Given, so would he just exchange it? In Given's opinion, the Freddie family was not trustworthy at all, and God knows what conspiracy they were hiding behind this deal.

"You let my friend retreat to the mansion next door, and then I'll release your master."

Hearing Given's proposal, Paganini sneered.

"Do you think I'm a child, and what if you refuse to let me go?"

"You're not me, it's you who made the deal, so you have to be sincere first. ”

Givens laughed maliciously. Although his expression was obscured by a helmet. But Paganini still felt the mockery in his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll hurt your friend?" the corners of Paganini's mouth curled up in a vague threat.

"You can give it a try. I promise the Freddy's people will shred you apart first. ”

Given's throat clenched Tresia's throat again. Speechless, Patriarch Freddy twisted his body in pain, and then shook his head desperately at Paganini.

It seems that this guy will not only take hostages, but also use the pain of the hostages to get the most benefits.

Yes, the Demon Master was pleased with Given's performance, the summoned beast was, as rumored, not the same kind of people as the summoned creatures from the good camp.

Having enough information to explore, Paganini decided to take a step back.

"It's not that this proposal can't be considered. But I want to warn you that if you do anything else, we will not hesitate to kill your friends. ”

After saying that, Paganini walked back to his side, and then began to discuss urgently with several high-ranking members of the Freddy family.

In fact, Paganini has no interest in resolving the hostage crisis for the time being, and he only hopes that the negotiations will drag on for a while so that a new actor can come on and the show will answer.

It was at this time that Givens suddenly discovered that a new group of elves had also arrived at this street corner.

Accompanied by a hundred heavily armed legionnaires, Elder Passani and Archon Midoria hurried to this bloody battlefield.

Elder Passani frowned angrily at the corpses and stumps scattered all over the ground, and after receiving a notification from his informant, he ended his trip and hurried back to Sodima City, but he could not prevent the tragedy from happening.

And beside Elder Passani, Archon Midoria just sighed helplessly. She had secretly promised the Freddy family that they would remain neutral in good faith, but now that Elder Passani had stepped in, she had to mobilize her legions and follow.

"Can someone explain what the hell is going on outside the walls of my house!" Elder Passani shouted angrily as he walked over to Givan and shouted.

When the demonic "mentor" heard this angry voice, he couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart.

He had hoped that it would be the city sheriff, or the consul Midharya, but now even Elder Passani had arrived.

However, it also happened that having the respected Elder Passani serve as a witness to Adelea's crimes would make the effect of his plot more realistic.

So Paganini took two steps, stretched out his hand to Given, and said first.

"Honorable Tribune, this summoning beast has kidnapped the patriarch of the Freddy family"

Hearing this accusation, Jiwen began to tense up, and there seemed to be an air in the air that made him uneasy.

Elder Passani looked back at Given, who recognized it as Adella's summoned beast, but who was now clasping Mrs. Freddy's throat.

"Let go of Patriarch Theresia. Passani ordered.

"Elder Passani, they attacked Adelia and her friends first, so I had to do it as a last resort. They're still holding Sheriff Quinn, so I can't say yes to your request. Without hesitation, Givens declined the Elder's request.

"Let the hostages go!" Elder Passani shouted in an old voice. At this time, even the consul Midoria stepped forward and motioned with his eyes to the people of the Freddy family to carry out the elder's orders

Quinn was released, and he staggered over to Given's side. At this time, Adelia and Ares also rushed to Given's side when they saw Elder Passani appear.

After seeing that the situation seemed to be turning in the direction of defusing it, Jiwen finally let go of his hand. Esthia immediately ran away in a panic and fled to Paganini's advisor.

But before she could catch her breath, she began to accuse Adella against Elder Passani, the tribune, and Mitoria, the archon.

"All of this I did made sense, because Adelia is colluding with demons to maim the lives of innocent elves!"

"It's another fantasy of Alzheimer's disease. Ares shouted in a loud voice.

"I have proof!" Tresia shouted angrily.

"What evidence!" Archon Midoria suddenly became intrigued.

Traesia, the patriarch of the Freddy family, turned around proudly and pointed to Adella's belt and said.

"The fact that this little devil has a skin pouch tied to his belt, and that there is a silver box engraved with a clover engraved on it is irrefutable proof!"
