The place of judgment was set in the most spacious prayer room of the Temple of the Earth, which had just been completed. Six rows of benches with two rows of benches can seat hundreds of people, and opposite the chairs is a huge sacred statue of the goddess Garlandia that rises to three and a half floors.

Brand, who is a believer in the goddess, couldn't help but stop for a long time, until Andre, who wore blood-colored thorns on his head, announced that the trial was about to begin, and everyone was invited to take a seat nearby. He ended his admiration for the magnificent statue as if he had come back to his senses.

The Children of the Abyss lacked a detailed understanding of the courts and the like in their past lives, so he had his own specious approach to Andrari. It's just that he never thought that the first court session would be for such a thing that makes people laugh and cry.

If this matter is placed in the world of Andre's memory, even if the three young people who are the parties have above the standard of appearance and appearance, if their identities are not eye-catching public figures, it is difficult to stir up any waves in the tide of information.

But when you face the excited and serious expressions of the elves present, as the one with the most right to speak in the court, Andre can only say that the pressure is not small.

"Then ask the litigant to make accusations against the defendant about what happened at that time. André looked at young Orion Wind, the grandson of Catrion Wind and a druid in his training. Standing beside him was his legal counsel, Arrett, who had a similar role as a plaintiff's lawyer.

"My client has made very serious allegations that defendant Alan Barker assaulted his lover Renissa in Andrarui's public bathhouse. "There weren't any rules to follow, but at least it was like talking to the young ranger that Andre had been learning for a whole month.

"Then ask the litigant to give a brief account of what you saw at the time. ”

“...... In the last few days, I feel that Renesa's attitude towards me has changed a little bit compared to before, but I didn't think much of it at the time...... Yesterday, when I took the time to look for her in the bathhouse, I noticed that her assistant José was a little flustered, so I ran to the bathhouse...... Then I heard a familiar voice, and opened the door to the private room, and I saw the bastard and Renessa naked!"

For an elf who has not been deeply involved in the world, it is too difficult for him to describe such a situation in front of everyone. But as an elf with a moral purity, he obviously couldn't swallow this evil breath! So the young druid's slightly green and handsome face turned red.

"As a prosecutor, I have doubts about the litigant's conduct in finding Renissa in the bathhouse. We all know that this behavior is absolutely impolite, but why did you do it at the time? Of course, you can also choose not to answer, because it may involve your personal secrets, but I think an honest answer will help people understand the whole thing. André barely cared about the young elf's face, because this was a serious occasion that shouldn't be emotional.

“...... Because Renessa and I did the same thing in it. Orion's face changed as quickly as the brilliance of fireworks, and after several struggles, he finally gave an answer that André expected.

However, this answer caused surprise and uproar among the majority of the jury. They are mainly elves and a small number of dwarves, and among the morals of these people, tasting the forbidden fruit before marriage is definitely not a moral act, especially if the person will become a respected druid in the future.

Although most of the demons in the jury had already known after the incident broke out, the only ones who were not surprised to hear the young elves admit the truth on the spot were the two humans who had seen them enter and leave the bathroom.

"Please remain silent...... Now that the litigant's situation is clear, the defendant is invited to defend his actions. ”

"I didn't violate her! We love Renetha with all sincerity! I don't ......," the young human seemed so excited by the punishment he might bear that he was given the right to speak. In his opinion, since this is completely the territory of demons and elves. Then he is afraid that it will be difficult to run away from his crimes, and his only hope is that Renisha will defend him because of her soft-heartedness.

"Please stay calm, Defendant!" Andre motioned to Kassandra, the advisor to the young humans, to reassure the overly agitated Defendant, but the suspicious humans thought that the tall snake demon was merely a guard who was watching over him and preventing him from escaping.

But because Allen's strength was completely unable to compete with the tall snake demon, he was finally forced to slowly calm down.

"Alan Barker, what you have to do is to justify your actions, not to keep shouting those meanings repeatedly. ”

Kassandra, as the legal counsel, lowered her head and whispered something in the young human's ear.

"I ask that Renessa be allowed to testify!My lord! she can prove that we truly love each other!, not some slanderous violation!" As if grasping at a life-saving straw, after thinking about it, he listened to the snake demon's advice, and his reason returned to the young human.

"Please come to the front. André motioned to the horned demons on the jury to guide one of the parties, Renesa, to the stage.

"The defendant claims that he and you are genuinely in love, what do you think about this as a party?"

The succubus stood in the front row and was scrutinized by the crowd, and although she didn't feel that there was anything unspeakable about what had happened to her, the harsh gazes of the elves still put a lot of pressure on her. What's more, even if she doesn't care much about what most people think, she cares what someone in front of the stage thinks of her.

"Please tell me the truth, Renesa. Your testimony will determine the fate he will face. Andrei said on a case-by-case basis.

“...... It's not about falling in love. The young succubus looked hesitant, but the defendant turned pale.

"I just kind of like him. Rhaenisa added.

"Can I interpret your words as saying that you have not been subjected to any coercion or violence?"

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the elves present were fried in an instant! They got up from their chairs excitedly and tacitly, as if they wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to say anything because of this serious and novel occasion.

According to the rules announced in advance, it is true that it is not their turn to speak when their testimony is not required.

"So what do you think about litigants calling you 'lovers'? ”

"I like Orion, he's a good guy who is kind and pure. ”

"That means you've maintained the same intimate relationship with each of them during this time, right?" Looking at the new succubus who inadvertently sent out the good guy card, Andrei's face looked quite strange.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Catharon felt that there was no place for his old face, and in any case, his grandson could not escape the responsibility of teaching a woman with such an attitude and affection as a "lover".

"Please be quiet!" Andre calmly looked at the angry elves who seemed to be corrupted by unspeakable evil, and he knew that if he wanted this farce to end smoothly, he would have to convince the long-eared people with moral purity.

"Litigant, Mr. Olien. Renesa's statement of relationship with you seems to be somewhat different from what you say, I wonder how you understand it?"

"We've even done that kind of thing, isn't that still love!?" the young elf complained with a red face in the face of his grandfather's stern gaze of longing for "righteous annihilation" and the whispers of his fellow elves.

"And what about you, the defendant?"

"I—I firmly believe in my love for Renissa, it's love at first sight arranged by fate!"

"You shameless liar!" Orange's skin was as thin as soaked white paper, and O'Lion felt like he was going to explode.

"Calm down, Mr. Orien! Whether Alan is a liar or not will be judged by all the jurors. Andrei paused slightly, "Then there is such a question before us now. There is a very clear difference in the understanding of feelings between the three parties. ”

Renesa's affection for the two parties is limited to the level of liking, and both parties believe that they are in love with Renesa. Let's not mention whether someone is lying, first of all, everyone must understand. Our demon race's understanding of feelings is completely different from that of most of Garlandia's peoples. ”

"First of all, there is a lack of concepts like 'husband and wife' in our society. As long as you feel that the other person is good, you can have an intimate relationship with them, and I think this is what Renisha calls 'liking'. ”

But the elves are also known for their seriousness and meticulousness in their feelings. André walked slowly over to the young succubus, "Renenisa, did you understand the attitude of the elves towards their 'lovers' and 'wives' before you interacted with Orion and Alan?"

Faced with the children of the abyss, Renisa's face turned pale.

"Please answer my question truthfully. ”

"Yes, I understand. Your Highness. ”

"That means that when you know that Orion is very serious and wants to decide on your lifelong partner, you don't personally consider the other person's feelings and adopt your own set of standards for relationships, right?"

"I didn't fail to take into account O'Lion's feelings!, Your Highness, but ......" The young succubus almost burst into tears when he noticed that His Highness had taken the indirect form of accusing her harshly. For all Andrari, André Gesareth, the Son of the Abyss, is their spiritual backbone, and all the demons who follow André through the swamp to Garlandia believe that if they follow His Highness's teachings, they will surely live a better life.

"Just what?"

"Just ......"

"It's just not tempting, is it?" said Andre, pulling some records from his bosom, "I have a few testimonies here that confirm that Alan Barker spent most of his income during this time on buying you all sorts of small gifts. ”

Although Andre, as an impartial arbitrator, personally searching for evidence seems to have some problems with his position, the lord of Andrarui did not set up the court as an institution that can be swayed by capital and sophistry, and everything here needs to be realistic! As a defendant, Alan certainly has the right to defend himself, but the premise is that he really feels that he is in love with the succubus from the bottom of his heart, and he should not deliberately put on a posture in order to get rid of the crime!

"That's not the case, Your Highness!" the young succubus felt that if she didn't defend herself, she would be the target of all the aliens. Even His Highness, who was supposed to be her backing, was sternly questioning her actions!

"So what is it all about?"

"Alan said he liked me and that he was willing to stay for me...... He also had many untold stories that captivated me and made me shake for a moment to do something that shouldn't have happened. ”

"So Mr. Allen, did you really promise to stay in Andrari for Renissa's sake?"

"Yes, I had that idea when I first saw her!"

"So, have you told anyone but Renissa about your thoughts?"

"I ...... No. ”

"This is strange, Mr. Allen, as a bodyguard with a clear employment relationship with Mr. Brand, shouldn't you consult with your employer before making such a decision?"

"I haven't had time yet, sir. The human in the dock lowered his head, as if the sight of the crowd and the statue of the goddess behind him would shoot a scorching light that pierced his eyes, making him afraid to meet the gaze of others.

This time, everyone present could see that this young human was weak-hearted.

"And what about your stories? I must remind you, Mr. Allen, that Renenisa, who had heard your stories, is here at this time. André didn't think the human would be stupid enough to lie about such a thing, but in order to make sure that the anger of the elves near the explosion did not rise, he gave a word of advice just to be on the safe side.

“...... My father was a powerful warrior who escaped from the dragon's hands and brought back some treasure that belonged to the dragons......"

"One of them is the beautiful obsidian you gave Renyssa that has been finely polished and has a lot of history and legend, right?"

"That's right!"

"But the craftsman of the Eye of the Hill told me that you bought the stone from them for a silver guilder. ”

The pale face of the young human was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans in an instant.

"I don't understand who gave you the confidence to give away Andrarui's goods as a 'dragon's treasure'! Do you need me to summon witnesses to confront you?" "Lying and coaxing his followers is already an act that makes Andre very angry, and what is even more infuriating is such a flawed and untechnical lie that this succubus under his command has not advanced for a long time, and it seems that the succubus who has been a little carried away is so simple to believe!!

If all of his subordinates are like vases, which have a light appearance and do not even have the basic ability to distinguish between right and wrong, what will Lao Tzu rely on to gain a foothold on this continent in the future? How will he fight for his international status among the alien races who have hatred and vigilance against the demon race? How can he cultivate the plank road in the chaos of the future demon world invasion again, and finally conquer the entire Garlandia?...... Well, the children of the abyss said that their anger was a little higher than that of their emotions, and that last thought was not counted.

Alan Barker, who was exposed by prosecutors for his lies, bowed his head and said nothing.

"I have one more question, Mr. Allen. You said you fell in love with Renesa at first sight, so did you know she was on a close relationship with Orion before you started courting her?"

"I ...... I don't know, yes I don't know. The young man did not seem to be confused at this critical moment, and he secretly guessed that the punishment for the crime must be different from the unknowing.

"Mr. Brand. André called out to the young businessman in the crowd.

"I think he should know, gentlemen. That day I and my guards saw Renessa and Orion going in and out intimately together, and I had told them not to do anything that was useless and would not benefit anyone. Finally having a chance to clear himself, the human merchant was very decisive in selling his "pig teammates".

"Is there anything else you'd like to say? Mr. Allen?"

The young man sitting in the defendant's seat was already trembling irrepressibly, he didn't expect that Brand, as the boss, would sell himself without hesitation in front of many aliens!

Alan was biting his fingernails as if he was having a nervous breakdown, but he didn't think about what kind of practical actions he would take to answer his employer when his employer repeatedly insisted that they should not be troubled.

"Then everyone should already know very well. "Alan Barker has made up more than one lie in pursuit of Renissa, which is undoubtedly a deception. However, the punishment for cheating on 'feelings' is not clearly defined in our law, and I know that all elves regard it as something that money cannot measure. But we should also take into account the perception of the person being deceived. ”

"Well, Renisa. Are you going to charge Alan Buck with deception?"

The young succubus was silent for a long time as he watched the once sworn human, whose head was almost lowered under the table, showing no sign of responding to the succubus's gaze.

"I am not willing to accuse him, Your Highness. Renisa's eyes were very calm, "Feelings may be priceless to elves, but they are not so precious to me. Besides, this is what I asked for in the first place......"

"Finally, I have one more question for you, Mr. Orion. ”

At this point in the farce, the young elf has realized what the problem is, so the indescribable expression on his immature and handsome face has become more complex than ever.

"Before you corresponded with Renysa and appeared in court today, did you have a careful understanding of the thoughts and traditions of the demons in their feelings?"

"I don't know much about it, Your Highness. The young druid bowed his head in shame, thinking that he loved each other, but in the end he lacked a minimum understanding of the most basic emotional concepts of his "lover".

So the jurors must have their own answers to the ins and outs of the whole thing and the details of it. ”

Andre made a final summary boredly, and he didn't want his "first time" to be entangled because of this kind of bullshit, but things have happened, at least let its influence be controlled to a certain extent!

For the Children of the Abyss, not restraining his subordinates and making them truly respect the traditional morality of the elves from the bottom of their hearts was a mistake of his leadership.

And the mistake of the young elf is that he was carried away by the beauty and youthful impulse of the succubus, and he never really managed this relationship calmly.

As for the already insane defendant, Andrei was sure that this was not the first time he had heard of such bullshit, and he really had nothing to say about such a fellow. If it's in that world full of eating and drinking, men and women, and gold fans, it's not a big deal.

It's just that for this kind of person who digs into the walls of others without scruples and has no intention of cherishing it at all, the children of the abyss hate this kind of person very much on a moral level.

"The following is the final trial time for all jurors to make statements......"
