Chapter 158: Accusation and Conviction

"Miss Lalatina, excuse me, but this matter involves the shopkeeper of this magic tool shop, the assassination of our Lord Aldarp, we must arrest this guy."

The butler stepped forward with a black face and spoke.

"I didn't assassinate anyone."

The Lich lady retorted.

"The owner of this shop is my friend, unless you have concrete evidence, I won't allow anyone to slander her."

The dispute at the magic tool shop's front door quickly drew Axel's public order squad; Prosecutor Sena arrived with her men and saw the two parties confronting each other at the entrance.

Aqua's side were all acquaintances, and she had also had contact with the Aldarp family's butler.

Speaking truthfully, the Aldarp they served was also the superior of their Town Management Department.

Although he was only the nominal lord and didn't handle actual affairs, if he really wanted to interfere with the administration, he could.

"What happened here, Mr. Aldarp Family Butler, and Miss Aqua, could you please explain?"

"This guy slandered me as a Demon King Army spy!"

Sena: "???"

Since when could the Demon King Army recruit Axis Cult people? "This is just a misunderstanding; it's the owner of this magic tool shop who assassinated Lord Aldarp."

The butler originally just wanted a pretext to arrest someone and make them take the fall, but the Darkness Family's Big Sister inserted herself with one kick, so this kind of bullying-the-market-and-oppressing-the-people tactic couldn't be used; now he could only state the actual facts and accuse the magic tool shop owner of assassination.

"Ah, that pig Aldarp, cough cough, has that Excellency died?"

Everyone: "..."

【Senior Official Sena, please rein in the happy expression on your face; you've already blurted out your true feelings!】

However, everyone could also understand; Aldarp was just a lecher, and before he had even relied on his authority to try to take advantage of female subordinates.

"Fortunately, Lord Aldarp is still alive."

The butler's mouth corner twitched, and he answered.

"Ah, is that so, that's really great."

Saying this with her mouth, Sena's face showed a very obvious disappointed expression.

"I didn't assassinate any lord."

The Lich lady argued back, and began quarreling with the butler again.

Sena listened for a while and generally understood what was going on.

She also knew the situation with the goods in Bathing Master Viz's shop; probably someone from the Aldarp family bought some absurd things here and caused trouble.

"What you both say makes sense, but because of this matter you're brawling in the middle of the city, it really affects the town's safety.

How about this: you come with me to the Town Management Office for a formal hearing; conveniently we have a lie detection tool there to prevent either side from lying."

Sena proposed a handling method.

"Hah, are you saying I'd joke with you about Lord Aldarp's life?"

The butler naturally didn't want to go; he knew he just wanted to pass the buck.

"I think this is best."

However, Darkness nodded and agreed.

"Eh, you're the other chest-smashing-rocks contestant from the swimsuit beauty pageant, the fourth-place finisher who missed the top three by a whisker?!"

Darkness's mimicry performance on stage back then was also a masterpiece; one might forget the second and third place winners but impossible to forget her; of course, there was also that Protein Queen contestant.

"Don't mention the chest-smashing-rocks thing; I am the Big Sister of the Darkness Family."

Darkness shouted with a red face; she really hadn't expected that after so long, her swimsuit beauty pageant fourth place would still be remembered.

However, there are still people calling Aqua "Miss Otter" now; it's not strange she'd be remembered; this world isn't a fast-paced modern world.

Every day the townspeople's after-tea conversation topics are events from the past few months; the update speed of melon-eating information is really very slow.

With Darkness's statement, the butler could only bring a group of guards, and Sena led the public order squad to the Town Management Office.

After both sides recounted the course of events, and with Sena unable to mediate as the intermediary, a public trial for the murder-of-a-noble accusation against Wiz was about to be conducted the next day in the Town Square.

Early the next morning, the aged judge sat on the bench; both the prosecution and the defense took the stand together. On the victim Aldarp's side, they quickly brought the accusation of murder of a noble.

And the evidence was that after using the goods sold by Bathing Master Viz's shop, the noble Lord Aldarp nearly died; the doctor who came to rescue him can testify to this.

"Yes, after Lord Aldarp drank the Vitality Potion, he suffered continuous electric shocks, and in the state of overexcitement, he nearly suffered sudden death."

The rescue doctor appeared in court to testify, and at the time in the Aldarp mansion, many guards and maids also knew about this matter.

However, the rumor at the time was that this lecher Aldarp nearly died on another woman's belly.

"These are the potions and tools they sold; both human testimony and material evidence are present; what else do you have to say?!"

The butler, as a lackey, representing his own master, directed a question at Wiz's side.

"The potions and tools were indeed sold by us, but how the sold tools are used is not something we can control.

If we were a weapon shop, and someone used a weapon we sold to kill a person, would you also come blame us for selling the weapon?"

After a day of preparation, Darkness today acted as Wiz's advocate.

"Similarly, the Vitality Potion we sell is a proper consumable that restores energy and physical strength; when taken, it absolutely will not cause any harm to the human body.

As for this mosquito-repellent tool engraved with lightning magic, at the time of sale, we also clearly informed this Mr. Butler to use it with caution.

And at that time, I was helping sell goods in Miss Wiz's magic tool shop; I can testify to this point, swearing on the Darkness Family's honor, I personally absolutely do not lie."

Darkness even brought out her family honor to swear, to prove this point.

"Hmm."

Prosecutor Sena nodded; the lie detection tool beside her, a bell, did not emit the sound of detecting a lie.

The aged judge saw this and also nodded; whether the oath or the tool, both made him accept Darkness's testimony.

"Then, may I ask, under the condition that the caution for using the tool was stated in advance, how exactly did Lord Aldarp get struck by this magic tool after drinking the Vitality Potion?"

Moreover, the electric shock power of this magic tool isn't very strong, so how could it be that after being shocked again, one cannot easily break free from the shock's range, thereby causing a situation of continuous electric shock?

Could it be that Lord Aldarp treated this electric shock mosquito zapper with a round iron ball on its tip as some kind of special tool for use, and stuffed it into some enclosed position of the Breasts, only leading to himself being unable to break free from the shock range on his own after suffering the electric shock?

One must say, both being Nobles, Darkness's perverted thinking unexpectedly synchronized with Aldarp at this moment.

That's right, Aldarp just treated the electric shock mosquito zapper with a very strange shape, just like a dark horn, as a special tool for use, only leading to the situation of suffering electric shock and being unable to break free, nearly dying.

However, how could he possibly admit this kind of thing? Doesn't he see the surrounding onlookers all with faces wanting to eat big melons, looking at him with expectation? "No, I absolutely did not randomly use this tool!"

Aldarp righteously denied it.

"Your Honor the Judge, if Lord Aldarp wants to continue accusing our client of assassination, I request that he be able to demonstrate on the spot himself the scene from the day before yesterday of suffering electric shock and being unable to break free; only then would there be persuasiveness."

The elderly Judge nodded, looking at Aldarp, but was directly glared at by this Lord, scaring him into shrinking his Neck.

However, before he could reject Darkness's proposal, the melon-eating masses outside the court, under the guidance of interested parties, started clamoring.

"That's right, that's right, I've also used the mosquito repellent tool from Miss Wiz's shop; although I was shocked once, it inherently doesn't have much danger, let alone be life-threatening."

In one day's time, there are many things that can be prepared; this Prosecutor Sena, due to dissatisfaction with a certain pig boss, Magic But gave Wiz and the others many suggestions, including settling those Adventurers who had once used this tool but were shocked to dissatisfaction and came to return it.

At this moment, the bought Adventurers were creating momentum for Bathing Master Viz's shop outside the court, and under the situation of the melon-eating masses being guided, Plus there being a Big Sister of the Darkness Family present, Aldarp would also find it hard to pull a one-man show in this public court.

Facing the situation of having to perform the electric shock device inserted into ASS on the spot if he continued to accuse, Aldarp viciously glared at the Butler who hadn't clearly explained the tool's usage, then chose to preserve his almost non-existent reputation and said: "This is a misunderstanding, I withdraw my accusation against the Magic Tool Shop..."

An accusation storm dissipated into nothingness; the onlooking masses who didn't see the liveliness sent out boos.

However, this accusation lawsuit did push the Vitality Potion's fame onto the wind mouth of Axel.

Not mentioning how that Butler who screwed over his own master would be treated by Aldarp, the quantity of Vitality Potions Broly routinely produces unexpectedly appeared in a situation of not enough to sell.

Merchants sought them out in batches, opening their mouths to order more than ten boxes of Vitality Potions at a time.

The high price of forty thousand Eris per bottle couldn't stop this group of merchants' enthusiasm.

They saw a business opportunity, wanting to sell the Vitality Potion to other Cities.

Bathing Master Viz's shop entered super profit mode; in just a few days' time, Eris became so much it almost filled the entire storage room.

"Great, with this money, we can buy a Large House!"

What surprised Broly somewhat was that his own Master Aqua actually still hadn't forgotten the matter of wanting to buy a House, and after having money, she urgently pulled him, Darkness, and Wiz together to go choose a Large House.
