Chapter 1561 Law and Law

On the west side of Lake Aosta, among the oak forests.

"Peter, Sean, have you had lunch yet? Would you like to taste the honey-soaked berries I made myself?"

Jenny holds up a bowl of red berries topped with honey.

"Okay, try to see if your craftsmanship has improved."

Sean and Peter each picked up a berry and stuffed it into their mouths. While chewing, they repeatedly praised the deliciousness.

"This honey is so sweet. Could it be that you made it yourself?" Peter asked Jenny casually.

The smile on Wasp's face froze immediately, she picked up the wooden bowl and slammed it on his head.

"Little brother, don't you think about it before you speak?"

The mantis warrior monk sighed at Peter who was holding his head and moaning, and quickly followed the angry Wasp, trying to persuade her to calm down.

"I can't be bothered to be mad at an idiot."

The Wasp took out a washbasin made of clay from the storage bag, placed it on the tree stump in front of her, and then performed a "water making technique" to fill the basin with clean water.

"Sean, call that idiot here. It's time to get down to business. Let's see how much we gained from the herd raid last night."

The Wasp stared at the calm water, her eyes filled with anticipation.

Sean turned his head and whistled. Peter, the spider-man with a swollen forehead, hurried over.

"Jenny, which town do you plan to check first?"

"The nearest to us is Blackwater Town, and the furthest is Wind Knight Town. Let's start with Buffalo Town, which is not too far away."

The Wasp made up her mind, sat on the ground in front of the tree stump, chanted a prayer praising the source of nature in a low voice, and was about to cast the 4-ring "Spying".

Unlike ordinary spells that can be completed in as little as three seconds, "Scrying" is very troublesome to cast. It takes at least ten minutes to perform a ceremony, during which the caster must maintain a high degree of mental concentration.

Sean and Peter stood by Jenny's side, taking strict precautions to prevent her from being disturbed by the birds and beasts that suddenly appeared in the forest and losing her focus on casting spells.

Time passed by minute by minute, and just as the casting ceremony was about to be completed, a beam of teleportation light suddenly rose from the lakeside, and several figures appeared from it.

Peter and Sean noticed the abnormality at the first time, and were still hesitating whether to notify Jenny, the Wasp had already sensed the fluctuation of the magic power, looked up at the direction where the teleportation light beam was rising, gave up casting the spell decisively, and stood up in a hurry .

"Peter! Sean! Be careful, I'm afraid there's trouble coming!"

...

By the lakeside, Joan was the last one to walk out of the teleportation array, and said to Pinkerton, "The three of them, the Wasp, hid in the nearby woods, let Carl follow them in the forest, and the others followed, beware of ambushes."

Mr. Detective nodded, and was about to order the hounds to go into the forest to track down the cultists, when suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the forest, and three figures came out one after another. strong hostility.

"Huh? You brats, you look familiar!"

Peter turned his eyes, and his eyes wandered over the faces of Joan, Hylar, and the Zion siblings.

"I have indeed seen it." Sean groped his chin, thinking: "If I remember correctly, there were four of them in the group of college students who attacked Pelidon's lair in Bailun Mountain last year."

"That's right, I remember that little mage in black robe was very powerful and caused us a lot of trouble at that time." Peter also remembered.

"That middle-aged man with a hunting dog is a bit unfamiliar." The Wasp's eyes fell on Pinkerton's face, and she asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Ma'am, what good things have you done hiding here, don't you still know?" Pinkerton sneered and reported his identity: "I am a detective, hired to investigate the root cause of the dinosaur commotion in Lake Aosta, frankly Said, I suspect that the three of you are responsible for this case."

"Speak directly, don't play around with me!" The Wasp snorted nonchalantly, "That's right, I personally planned the crazy dinosaur attack on the three towns by the lake. I don’t think what I have done is a crime. The real criminals are the colonists who destroy the natural environment—they all deserve to die!”

"It's up to you to decide who is committing the crime."

"Then who should judge? Are you, Mr. Detective? Or your employer?" The Wasp asked back.

"The law, and the courts and juries that represent it, of course!" said Pinkerton firmly.

"Then, Mr. Detective, who made the law?" Jenny asked coldly.

"Of course it is the Ashanian Midgard Colonial Government and Council." Pinkerton replied without thinking.

"Hehe, this is really interesting! Long before your colonial government was established, my ancestral family had already lived in this land. Without your legal constraints, we could still live and work in peace and contentment."

"Since the colonists came to this continent, they have forcibly seized the land that originally belonged to us without asking the opinions of our aborigines. Make a law designed to protect the interests of your colonists, and now you want to sanction me, a native aborigine, with a law that we don’t recognize at all, what’s the reason?”

"A group of robbers swarmed from across the sea and crazily destroyed our peaceful homeland. Now they still have the face to talk to me about the law? Your law is completely based on the cruel oppression and bloody massacre of our aborigines. It's just worthless robber logic, I'm not your slave, why should I abide by the laws made by you bandits!"

The Wasp's sharp questioning made Pinkerton look embarrassed and speechless.

Joan heard their conversation from the side, and was deeply touched.

As Jenny said, as an aborigine born and raised in the New World, she has never joined the nationality of the Holy Ashean Empire, and logically she is not obliged to obey the decrees issued by the imperial colonial government. What crime can she be arrested on?

After all, this is not a problem that can be solved within the legal framework.

What Jenny has done has indeed caused great losses to the colonial villages and towns around Lake Aosta, but this is not "illegal", but a "war"!

The Wasp controls dinosaurs to attack villages and towns, which is like the violent resistance of the aborigines against colonial expansion. Can it be said that enemy soldiers on the battlefield violated the law and committed homicide?

This kind of behavior is indeed cruel, but Qiao An really can't think of what name should be used to punish the Wasp.
