  Abel walked out of the office with a dejected expression. The attendant who had been waiting outside the door was walking towards him.

  “What you just did was too dangerous!”The attendant glanced at the situation in the courtroom from the corner of his eyes, he warned Abel in a low voice, “If you really take this gnome away, all the soldiers of the entire monitoring station will be sent out to hunt you down. Even I will suffer as well!”


  “I’m sorry……”Abel said apologetically to the attendant.

  “Hurry up and leave. Don’t stay here!”The attendant waved his hand impatiently and chased Abel and his soldier out.

  The group of people returned to the leisure area in silence. A few soldier in the crowd kept sizing up Abel’s expression. One of the Elven soldier said with trepidation, “Captain Abel, what should we do next?”


  On the way back to the office, everyone was in a good mood.

  However, after this ordeal, everyone’s hearts were clouded.

  “Wait here,”Abel said softly. “We can’t send the Gnome to prison.”


  “Yes,”the soldier looked at each other and answered in unison.

  Half an hour later, the noise and sound of people moving could be heard from the direction of the court. Abel immediately stood up from his seat and walked out of the leisure area. The soldier followed closely behind.

  The first people to appear at the door of the public office were the judge and the others. When the judge passed by the soldier, Abel called out to the judge, “Well, Mr. Judge!”


  “What’s the matter?”When the judge saw that it was Abel, he frowned.

  “May I ask what the execution you gave was?”Abel took a deep breath and asked.

  “That Gnome hid drugs and disguised himself as a soldier in the inn. He also caused great psychological and physical harm to the inn’s attendants,”the judge replied emotionlessly. “It can only be a death sentence.”


  “This…… this execution…… is there any possibility of retracting it?”Abel’s voice trembled as he asked.

  The judge glanced at him, but did not answer. Instead, he left with his men.

  “Captain! We found the waiter from the Inn!”Just as Abel was stunned, a Caradia soldier rushed in front of him and reported.

  “Where is he?”Abel clenched his fists and asked softly.

  “That Kid was planning to run away from us, but he was met by a soldier who happened to go to the washroom at that time. “He’s being escorted here now.”The soldier explained in detail. “Captain, is it possible that if we catch that kid, the Gnome will be rescued?”


  “I don’t know.”Abel shook his head and said, “Don’t stay here. Let’s go back to the inn first. Take the attendant back as well.”


  “Yes.”The soldier nodded and replied.

  Abel lifted his leg and walked to the door of the surveillance bureau. He boarded the carriage of the inn. Before he boarded the carriage, the attendant who was restrained by two soldiers appeared in front of him.

  “Let go of me!”The attendant struggled and shouted.

  “Brat! What did we tell you? What absurd things did you do?”The soldier who restrained him increased the strength in his hands, he lectured the attendant. “Tell me, who are you doing this to vent your anger on?”


  “Let him go. There are so many brothers here. This attendant won’t be able to escape,”Abel instructed before boarding the carriage. As he spoke, he did not even turn his head to look at the attendant.

  In Abel’s heart, there was only confusion and disappointment.

  On the way to the inn, Abel stared out of the window. The scene from the court appeared in his mind.

  The complexity of human nature was beyond his expectations. He could not understand the thoughts of the waiter. He could not even see the factors that made the gnome choose to compromise.

  While Abel was lost in thought, the carriage stopped.

  The group walked to the open-air Teahouse and sat down. It was already late at night, and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

  After ordering his soldier to go upstairs and call Kant and Bunduk over, Abel immediately caught a glimpse of Nitte and his group standing in front of his inn. He waved at them, he shouted across the street, “Come over too.”


  After hesitating for a while, Nate’s group slowly moved in the direction of Abel.

  “Did you know he did this?”Abel pointed at the waiter who was surrounded by the soldier and asked Nate.

  “.…… Yes.”Nate gritted his teeth and nodded.

  “Pa!”Abel raised his hand and slapped Nate in the face. Nate was only a common orcs attendant, so how could he withstand a blow from an elven soldier of the same weight as him? When Abel’s palm actually touched his face……, there was even a moment of ringing in Nate’s ears.

  “Abel!”Kant and Bunduk, who had been rushing here for a long time, saw this scene and immediately screamed at Abel. Abel’s figure also stopped. The inn attendants standing opposite him only silently supported Nate, who had fallen to the ground, and did not speak out to denounce Abel’s actions.

  “What happened?”Kant walked between the two and asked.

  “That Gnome was sentenced to death by the judge,”Abel replied helplessly, covering his face with his hands.

  “What?”Bunduk asked in surprise.

  “That servant suddenly accused the gnome in court and said that he was also involved in the fight,”a soldier stood up and explained for Abel.

  Kant looked at Nitte and the servant behind him, and his expression turned cold.

  “I’m sorry, Lord Kant……”Nitte lowered his head and apologized, “It’s just that we really can’t forgive the actions of those people.”


  “Knight, didn’t you notice? You’ve crossed the line.”Kant shook his head gently, he said to knight, “We can hand that gnome over to you and give you a chance to push him towards the beheading platform. “We can also save him from the predicament of dying. “It’s just that you’ve completely lost our trust.”


  After leaving these two sentences, Kant did not give any other explanation. Instead, he turned to Abel and said, “Let’s go. I have something very important to talk to you about.”


  “Yes.”Abel nodded and followed Kant into the teahouse.

  “Everyone, go back and rest. You’re all tired today,”Bunduk instructed the soldier around him.

  When everyone had dispersed, Bunduk looked at Nitte and the others who had remained where they were and sighed. He walked in front of them. He said, “Take care of yourself.”
