There were three carriages parked outside the inn, a group of elven guards waiting outside on horseback, and a group of silver moon elven archers standing on the outermost periphery.

There were also a lot of lively elves around, all pointing at Roy and them, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

The instructors boarded a carriage one after another, and the elven guards stood outside the carriage and closed the door.

An elven guard led the way, and the elven archers flanked the carriage, surrounding the three wagons.

The instructors' faces became very ugly, especially Instructor Fergil, who was sitting in the carriage and asked nervously:

"Instructor Nora, what the hell is going on? Didn't we help them destroy a slave trader's den? Now how can we say that we broke into the apple orchard for no reason and arrested the farmers in the apple orchard without permission? Wasn't that Jones a slave trader? ”

Instructor Nora lowered his head and said in great depression, "We seem to have fallen into someone's trap, and these elven guards are colluding with Jones to trap us. ”

Instructor Eleanor sat next to Instructor Nora and glanced at the back window of the carriage before saying:

"Now this group of elven guards has even invited the officials of the Inquisition, just to take us to the scene on the other side of the apple orchard and convict us."

When Instructor Virgil heard Eleanor say this, Instructor Virgil suddenly became a little anxious and whispered:

"Then why do we have to go with them?"

"There's a whole team of elven guards waiting outside the inn, and there's a regiment of archers outside, where else can we run?" Instructor Eleanor asked in a low voice. "Besides, if you don't go to the scene to take a look, how can you know who it is, and you have such a great ability to make the elven guards of Padstow City collude with the slave traders!"

"But then ...... What are we going to do? Instructor Ferguill grumbled quietly.

Instructor Eleanor said indifferently:

"You're a Silver Moon Elf, what's there to worry about, I guess they want us to resist a little bit now, and then arrest us for resisting arrest."

Instructor Gru muttered, "I'd like the Council of Elders of Paddestow to know about this now." ”

"Right in the back carriage, it looks like the officials of the Inquisition are also theirs." Instructor Nora said these words with an even more gloomy face.

"We really shouldn't trust those elven guards......"

Instructor Virgil said with great annoyance.

……

The party quickly left the city and found themselves in the apple orchard, where the wooden houses by the river still bear the traces of the previous night's fight.

However, the only thing that is different is that the entrance is hidden in the basement behind the stairwell, and the original stinking basement is full of iron cages, which are the evidence of their slave trade.

Can ...... now

Overnight, the prison-like basement was miraculously transformed into a wine cellar, a cellar filled with oak barrels of cider.

There wasn't even a trace of peculiar smell inside, and some were just faint aromas of wine.

Even the walls were different from last night, some black pebbles were neatly lined up, and the gaps were filled with mortar.

The bodies of the five slave traders were still lying in the living room, but no longer wrapped in blankets, their leather armor and swords were gone, and they were dressed only in thin linen clothes, and the dead slave traders were transformed into farmers in the apple orchard.

After the elven guards brought all the members of the party into the wooden house, the three officials of the Inquisition also walked into the dilapidated wooden house surrounded by the elven guards.

Nora's face became ugly, and the other instructors were also a little dumbfounded, originally they thought that even if these slave traders would clean it, but the basement must not be able to deal with it, there will always be some clues!

I also plan to look for the half-blood elves who escaped around the apple orchard.

When we came to the apple orchard, we found out about these ...... Obviously, it can't be done.

The three Inquisition House officials circled around the riverside cabin and looked at Instructor Nora with questioning eyes.

Dressed in the uniforms of judges of the Inquisition, they all wore the insignia of the Council of Elders on their chests, scrutinizing each member of the party.

One of the captain of the elven guard stood in front of Instructor Nora, straightened his face, and said to her:

"Now we suspect that you killed five farmers in the apple orchard for no reason, so ...... Next, please follow us back to the Guards for investigation. ”

Instructor Eleanor stood up, she was a Silver Moon Elf, and quietly stood in front of Instructor Nora, unhurriedly took out the Elven Academy badge, put it on her chest, and said to the Elven Guard Captain:

"We are instructors of the Castletown Elf Academy, and we have the authority not to accept an unfair investigation by the Padstow Guard.

Yesterday we handed over to you two slave traders, one Mr. Jones and the other Benjamin, the human magician aboard the Kumquat, and now ...... Please return this Benjamin Wizard to us, and we will return to Castletown.

Where is Wizard Benjamin now?

He's going to face trial from the Council of Elders, so he should still be in the guardhouse, right? ”

With that, Instructor Eleanor looked sharply at the elven guard captain.

The captain of the elf guard was a little confused, and when he saw the other party revealing his identity, he didn't know what to do for a while.

The teachers of the Elven Academy are also a special class with a certain social status in the Elven Country.

The captain of the elven guard could only bite the bullet and say:

"In fact...... Benjamin the Wizard, we don't have any evidence that he was a slave trader, so we've acquitted him. ”

Seeing that the captain of the guard had lost his previous aggressive momentum, Instructor Eleanor turned his head to look at the three officials of the court, his eyes continued to fall on the captain of the guard, and said reluctantly:

"In Castletown, the wanted notice for this Benjamin wizard is posted on the bulletin board at the door of almost every guard, as an elven guard in Padstow City, why did you let him go without doing an investigation?"

Instructor Virgil took the opportunity to come out from behind, patted Eleanor on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, Eleanor, let's go." ”

The two instructors turned around and tried to walk out of the cabin, when a group of elven guards guarding the outside of the cabin immediately surrounded them, pointing their long swords at Instructor Virgil and Instructor Eleanor.

The elven archers around them also raised their longbows and put an arrow on the bowstring, but they didn't pull it away.

The scene suddenly became tense......

Roy even saw Instructor Nora secretly preparing for a breakout at him, Sabrina, and Miss Christine.

But just then, Miss Christine stepped out from behind Instructor Nora.

She put on an extremely arrogant posture, glanced at the officials of the Inquisition in the wooden house, and then walked up to the elven guards, put a silver moon elf nobleman's badge on her chest, and said to the elven guards in front of her with a blank face:

"I'm Christine. Swinburne, you ...... now Holding a weapon in his hand, pointing at a member of the Swinburn family, are you sure you want to do this? ”

Her voice was calm and softened, but it made the faces of the three court officials behind her change dramatically.

An Inquisition officer hurried out, glancing only at the silver badge on Christine's chest, and immediately shouted:

"Put down your weapons, put down your weapons for me, this is the young lady of the Swinburn family, hurry up and put down your weapons......"

Sure enough, the elven guards laid down their weapons one after another, and the elven archers around them also took the opportunity to put down their longbows.

Miss Christine then turned her head and respectfully asked Instructor Nora:

"Instructor Nora, are we going to get out of here?"

Instructor Nora looked up, sorted out his bad mood, and said to the members of the party, "Let's go, let's go back to Castletown......"

Everyone got into the same carriage and left the apple orchard.

……

There was an eerie silence in the apple orchard.

The Inquisition official walked alone into the depths of the apple orchard with a cold face, and boarded the carriage parked under the apple tree with a blank face.

Lord Jarvis sat in the carriage, looked coldly at the deputy chief judge of the Inquisition in front of him, and said in a cold voice:

"Didn't you say yes? Once you've brought them here, let the elven guards take them all, Lord Raphael, how did you let them go? ”

The words are full of doubts.

Deputy Judge Raphael let out a dry laugh in his throat, and then his face full of smiles instantly turned cold, and he said to Jarvis:

"Yalvis, I promised you, within the scope of my authority, you can close one eye and let you toss around in Padstow City at will, but this does not mean that you can provoke the elven nobles of the Elven Continent! I hope that before the investigation team sent from above arrives in Padstow, you will be able to take care of everything and not let the elves of the investigation get to your little tail. ”

Yalvis was a little surprised: "I provoked the elven nobles? Aren't they a bunch of elven academy instructors? ”

Deputy Presiding Judge Raphael coughed lightly again, as if he had to cough every time he spoke.

"One of them is a young Silver Moon Elf, the young lady of the Swinburn family, I think you should know that the Swinburn family currently controls at least three Silver Pegasus Regiments, and I am sure you would not want those Silver Pegasus warriors to come to the Partington plane for military exercises......," said Deputy Judge Raphael.

Still a little unconvinced, Jarvis said, "You should have left them all behind just now!" ”

Deputy Judge Raphael coughed violently again, he took out his handkerchief and wiped his purple lips, and snorted before saying:

"Don't dream, the elven guards of the guard and those archers of yours can't keep this group of instructors at all, as long as one of them manages to escape, we will all be implicated, if the Silver Pegasus Legion of the Seventeenth Army enters the Partington plane, none of us will have good fruit to eat."

Yalvis stared at Raphael's face and said:

"So you're going to let them go and let me deal with this mess?"

Deputy Presiding Judge Raphael laughed twice again and said:

"This is a mess you made, hurry up and clean up this mess, don't cause us unnecessary trouble, the city of Padusto can't withstand any big shocks......"

Jarvis rubbed his face with his hand a little helplessly, and his voice became a little softer:

"Got it, it's a real nuisance."
