According to the old Tree Elf's plan, since this god's subordinates were so strange, and he himself was also a witty and dissolute person, he only needed to say a few words of persuasion, and the god would most likely say, "You want children? I'll sow some! "and then he would do it himself.
In this way, the tribe could get a few children with the blood of the God. With these children, it would be much more convenient to deal with His Majesty in the future. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
But the old Tree Elf did not expect that although this God was a jellyfish, he was quite upright. He did not think about that at all. Instead, he flew into a rage and severely punished the oracle. He even asked Sui Xiong to punish the oracle himself. It seemed that even if Sui Xiong did not do it, he would destroy the flower and clean up the family.
This was not the result he wanted!
Now he regretted his decision to "ask for an explanation". It was not a big deal, but how could it become like this!
Alas! Your Majesty Jellyfish, why don't you play by the rules?
Sui Xiong was angry, Steele was twitching, and the old Tree Elf was thinking. Only Ray had nothing to do, so he saw the key point of the problem.
Actually, for the Tree Elves, this matter wasn't that big of a deal. It was nothing more than everyone having a big fight, and it was nothing more than a group of people being taken care of by Steele. Anyway, even if Steele didn't exist, they would still do it occasionally. So at most, they would just lose some face, that's all.
As for His Majesty Void Mask, although he was furious at the moment, this jellyfish God had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. As long as he did not kill Steele on the spot, there would always be a way to remedy the situation.
The only problem was probably Steele herself. What she had done this time had probably completely enraged His Majesty. Even if she could escape from this, she would definitely not have a good ending in the future.
However, Ray did not like Steele at all. Especially this time, she was simply too outrageous!
Whether this kind of trash lived or died, he couldn't be bothered to care!
After considering all the conditions carefully, he finally came up with a solution.
"Your Majesty, you went to negotiate with the dragon. What was the result?" he asked.
In fact, Sui Xiong was asking a question that he already knew the answer to. With the character of His Majesty the Void Mask, what would happen if he encountered an evil dragon that burned down villages and devoured civilians?
At most, he would be slapped to death or chopped into pieces. If he was lucky, he might even have an intact corpse.
"It's going well. Uherskreider has been killed by me, and the elves have been rescued. They are heading for a nearby village," Sui Xiong replied casually.
Before Ray could answer, the old man's body shook, and he couldn't help asking, "Uherskreider? Brutal Burner? It really is him! "
"Yes, that's the guy. It's really bad! "Sui Xiong said." I've known some dragons, but I've never seen one as bad as it! "
"You destroyed it and saved our clansmen?" The old man asked.
Sui Xiong nodded, "Yes, didn't I just say that?"
The elder exhaled deeply and lowered his head. This time, he was sincere and not just out of politeness.
"I apologize to you! You are running around to save our clansmen, and for this, you are fighting with the horrible Demonic Dragon. But because of such a small thing, we don't want to let go of your oracle. Please forgive our shallowness! The Tree Elves are not the kind of people who return kindness with ingratitude! "
The Tree Elves were satisfied and didn't pursue the matter. Sui Xiong's anger finally calmed down a little.
Ray smiled slightly, indicating that everything was within his expectations.
The Tree Elves just wanted to find an excuse to get out of this embarrassing situation. His Majesty killed the evil dragon, avenged them, and saved their clansmen. Wasn't this great kindness enough to offset the trivial matter of Steele holding an open meeting?
Only His Majesty himself didn't think of it … Haha, after all, he was a jellyfish …
After solving this matter, the old man said goodbye and left. After a while, the villagers and adventurers who had recovered their strength also left.
And the problem on the other side also needed to be solved.
"Steele, what do you think we should do about this?"
Steele, who had changed into an adventurer's clothes, knelt on the ground anxiously. Sui Xiong and Ray sat on her left and right, as if they were going to judge.
On the wall of the guest room, Sui Xiong had written two lines of words with magic.
One line was "Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist." The other line was "Learn from past mistakes and avoid future mistakes, cure the illness and save the patient."
Steele was very ashamed, very ashamed.
What should a subordinate do? The strong ones naturally had to fight and break through enemy lines, go through water and tread on fire, and fight for benefits for their boss. The weak ones should also drive, carry bags, serve tea, and serve the boss comfortably. Even if they didn't know anything, at least they could always look at the boss with admiration, and make the boss feel comfortable.
However, she had caused trouble for their boss, big trouble!
"I say, Steele, why didn't I know you were so capable before?" It was rare that Sui Xiong didn't lie on Ray's head. Instead, he found a table, sat on the table, and fiercely looked at the depressed and uneasy Steele. He said in a strange tone, "You actually made the whole village fall down … You are really 'capable'! I'm not joking, I've never heard of someone as' capable 'as you! "
Steele laughed dryly and didn't dare to reply.
She wasn't stupid. She could almost smell the deep dissatisfaction in her boss's tone. Now she wanted to talk? Did she want to be beaten?
"I used my Divine Power to leave a protection for you so that you can protect yourself, not for you to have an open party!"
Steele's head drooped even lower.
"This time, the tree elves didn't argue with you because they were kind!" Sui Xiong said bitterly. "I'm a God, but I used my power to bully people. Do you think that's very honorable? That grandpa is so old, and the wrinkles on his face could even kill a mosquito. The first thing he opened his mouth was' I'm old, I'm going to die '… Do you think I'm honorable to bully such an old man? "
Steele tried very hard to shrink her head into her neck and didn't dare to say anything.
"Alas! I'm ashamed just thinking about it! But what can I do? It's my fault for not teaching you well and not managing you well! It's my fault for being too lenient to you, and letting you get the chance to be so lawless! "
Steele opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything. She obediently lowered her head and received the scolding.
Sui Xiong spoke bitterly and at length, from "putting oneself in the shoes of others" to "loving with impartiality and not attacking", from "the gift of human rights" to "the socialist concept of honor and disgrace", and especially emphasized the two principles of "taking hard work as an honor, and taking leisure as a disgrace; taking hard work as an honor, and taking extravagance as a disgrace" …
He went on and on, and on, and on, and on.
By the time he finished speaking, the eastern sky had already turned white. He talked from the afternoon to the evening, and from the evening to the morning.
At some point, Ray had already fallen asleep on the table. Only Steele, who had made a mistake, didn't dare to doze off. She forced her eyes to turn in circles, but she was also constantly in a daze.
"What kind of attitude is this!" Sui Xiong was furious. He swung his tentacles and slammed the table heavily. He shouted, "You're defying the judge!"
Steele was scared and wanted to defend herself. Ray, who had been woken up, said in a daze, "Defying the judge? Just hang him. "
"Ah?! Hang him?! " Steele was really scared this time. She didn't care about pretending to be honest anymore and directly jumped up. "How did it suddenly become hanging him?!"
Sui Xiong was also stunned. He asked in confusion, "Is it necessary to hang him so seriously?"
Ray was completely awake now. He touched his nose and coughed twice. He bought a little time to organize the words in his mind. Then he put on a serious face and said seriously, "First of all, we have to be sure of one thing. Conviction and punishment must be based on the law."
Sui Xiong and Steele nodded together.
"And in the law, one of the most important things is to 'maintain the sanctity of the law and the authority of the court,' right?"
Steele nodded. Sui Xiong thought about it carefully and also nodded.
"So, defying the court and not cooperating with the trial is a felony that should be severely punished, right?"
Steele's face turned pale, but she still nodded. Sui Xiong thought about it very seriously for a while and hesitated to nod.
"In this case, what's wrong with hanging him?"
Steele frowned and looked at Sui Xiong pitifully. Sui Xiong thought about it and thought about it. He grimaced and finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. "Isn't this legal system a little too simple and crude?"
As soon as he said this, he also had an inspiration. "To maintain the authority of the court, it is not necessary to achieve it through heavy punishment. Even if we want to punish the behavior of defying the court, it is not necessary to hang him. The existence of the law is to maintain order, and a correct order should guide people to be positive, not blindly shouting and killing! "
Ray listened and secretly nodded. He was deeply impressed and secretly applauded His Majesty's point of view. But on the surface, he just smiled slightly. "The Lord has the right to punish and pardon. Of course, the God has the right to punish and pardon. As for how to deal with it, it is up to you. "
Sui Xiong couldn't help but frown again. He secretly decided that when his own Holy Land was built, he must write the law by himself. He absolutely could not follow the practice of this world.
The legal system of this world was really problematic!
Right … justice and law seemed to be under the control of the same God. It seemed that it was indeed necessary to have a good talk with him!
He thought for a while and secretly remembered this idea. Then he solemnly glanced at Steele, who was trembling and waiting for the sentence. Looking at the trembling appearance of this weirdo, he could not help but feel happy, as if he had drunk a bowl of spicy soup in the winter. It warmed his heart and lungs.
"You weirdo also have times when you are afraid!"
He wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times, but it was a little difficult to make this posture with the body of a jellyfish, so he gave up.
As for how to punish Steele, he also had a draft in mind.
"Go to eat breakfast first," he said lightly. "Even if you have to die, you can't be a ghost that starves to death, right?"
Steele's face had originally become a little better after hearing Sui Xiong's words, but when she heard the words "can't be a ghost that starves to death," her face suddenly became even paler than before, and even her legs began to tremble.
This time, she was really afraid!
