How come I am still being controlled by them even though I have changed my ways?

In an instant, a rustling sound came from behind the lush trees in the distance, and Jill realized that it was not just Seraphim and Dean Roy, the two troublemakers, who came to cause trouble for Elder Melm.

Even Kallen, who was always upright and calm, and had the image of a perfect student, did it.

Soon, Kallen walked out slowly with her head down, looking guilty.

Especially after seeing Jill, his already wandering gaze became even more evasive for a moment - was he afraid of facing Elder Melm, or... was he afraid of the strange and unpleasant parting between the two of them earlier?

For a moment, Jill was unable to come to any conclusion.

After all: the entire purpose of Elder Melm's trip lies here.

Should I say she's worthy of being called a "model elf"? Even though she was trembling with nervousness while walking, Kallen still managed to force out words through her stuttering throat.

"Elder Melm, I... I have already told the Princess and the Saint everything you requested of me during this trip, as well as the 'changes' you have made."

"Please, please give up your judgment and orders towards them and return to Erwin. Stop interfering with our actions in the capital. If you do that... we won't tell anyone about your actions."

Simple, pure, clean and neat.

It can’t be said that it is exactly the same as the words that Jill just used to threaten Elder Melm, but it can be said that there is no difference.

Now Jill began to sweat on his forehead: It seems that he is not the only one dancing on the cat's tail.

He has no choice!

How come Kallen and the other Pokémon are all really good at chatting?!

176.Shaman Mystery

Sure enough, the next moment, all Jill saw on Elder Melm's face was an increasingly expressive expression of "disappointment with iron for not being able to achieve his goal."

Putting aside the question of whether this "yellow-haired" threat would work against the real Melm Elder, who wasn't just teasing them for fun, the more important thing was: Gildor wanted to tell the girls...

He has used this trick before!

Even the Saints are not vulnerable to the same trick, let alone Elder Melm?

So, the next moment, the most troublesome situation occurred without any surprise.

"Karen, I originally planned to have you take over from Roy and manage this academy."

"..."

Kallen was stunned for a moment, but then realized: This was obviously Elder Melm's "compromise". Perhaps in Elder Melm's eyes, the calm and mature Kallen could completely stay out of it?

He glanced at Jill, but the choice she made... was completely different from what she would have done in her usual calm demeanor.

Kallen could have immediately asked Elder Melm to calm down, but she chose to talk back!

"I don't need it, Elder Melm. What I need is your tolerance towards them."

"Even though I accepted your request and assisted you, I still can't understand why you are so harsh on the princess and the saint."

Elder Melm hesitated for a moment, then turned to help Jill, who had just struggled to stand.

He had clearly been planning to "spank" Jill before, but now he no longer had any hostility towards her.

He simply explained, "There's no such thing as lying in my teachings to you."

Then, he added coldly, "Karen, you are no longer Roy's guard, but merely a member of the high elves. You don't need to stand up for your master."

"Otherwise, your result will be the same as theirs."

How, it goes without saying.

But Kallen was not going to compromise. The three elves had obviously come for one purpose: to get Elder Melm to leave.

And... don't let Jill get involved: At this time, it would be no problem for Jill to find an excuse to slip away.

Therefore, they only have one choice left: to use force.

Seraphim glanced casually at the entrance to the palace garden, while Kallen and Roy came slowly and calmly in front of Seraphim, as if they wanted to "block" her.

After all, Jill was someone who had personally experienced Seraphim's little tricks. Didn't he understand what these elves were trying to do?

Now that they clearly knew about some of Elder Melm's actions that were "not quite in line with his status as an elder," and they couldn't fight Elder Melm to the death, then...

The only option is to resort to some dishonorable behavior.

The next moment, Seraphim took a few steps back, ready to leave—was she going to tell on someone? Or was she going to "report"? There had just been such a commotion in the garden, and no other elves had dared to come and investigate. How else could Seraphim threaten Elder Melm?

Jill couldn't think of it for a moment.

But one thing is certain: Elder Melm did not give these "young people" any chance - should we say that he is worthy of being Elder Melm?

I noticed Seraphim's intention at the first moment!

"...Seraphim, you still love to play tricks."

His palms suddenly clenched, and in an instant, the vines that were originally sparsely climbing on the fence gate leading to the outside of the garden, as if they had received incredible nourishment, instantly turned into roots that were probably thicker than towering trees!

The magic that Elder Melm masters is the power of nature.

On ordinary days, it might be silent and seem ordinary, but once it is manipulated by humans...

It will show its extremely terrifying side!

Dean Roy, who seemed very familiar with Elder Melm's methods, gritted her teeth and immediately turned around...

In the blink of an eye, crimson magic enveloped him, and he soared into the air, transforming into a blazing firebird! Flames emanated from his wings, igniting even the delicate flowers that the elves in the garden so carefully tended!

Then, he headed towards the entangled vines! The surrounding air was scorching, and the hot air made it difficult for Jill to open her eyes for a moment. It also blew Elder Melm's long hair, illuminating the elf's lifeless eyes.

"Unrepentant……"

As she said this, Kallen had already blocked Elder Melm's way—the three elves had clear divisions of labor and obvious intentions.

Naturally, even Elder Melm would find it difficult to give Kallen an excuse.

However, even so, Elder Melm was not at all panicked.

He even found the time to pull Jill behind him, his eyes lit by the flames...

The next moment, a dazzling light suddenly appeared!

In an instant, the sky, once glaringly illuminated by the flames, was suddenly enveloped by layer upon layer of dark clouds! Before Jill could even react, heavy rain began to pour down!

I'm afraid it can't even be described as "heavy rain"! It was simply a thunderstorm accompanied by a torrential downpour of water! In an instant, everyone inside and outside the garden was soaked to the skin!

Of course, this also included the fire magic that Dean Roy had just used to burn the vines that blocked Seraphim's way.

It turns out that the "natural magic" mastered by Elder Melm is not just as simple as "trees, flowers and plants"!

Even the thunderstorms and rain in the sky, everything truly natural, can be changed...

It is said that he is proficient in elemental magic... isn't it a bit too supermodel?

The raindrops were as big as beans, and in such a short time they were almost reaching everyone's feet!

Elder Melm looked at the dumbfounded people who were hit by the rain and were in a daze. He shook his head helplessly.

"It seems that tying you back is the best option rather than letting you go back on your own."

In the blink of an eye, the vines, nourished by the rain, began to grow wildly again! It was as if they had a life of their own, controlled by the will of the Melm elders!

This time, Elder Melm looked at Seraphim.

He raised his hand, and Jill saw at a glance that he was probably planning to do the same thing to him just now, and perform a bondage play on Seraphim and the others!

All of this had nothing to do with him anymore - Elder Melm... maybe he really was a magnanimous person, just as he had praised himself.

Generous enough to forgive his disrespect just now.

But Jill felt that Elder Melm must be a stubborn "old thing" who was only concerned with punishing his own juniors and therefore ignored the other "good performances" of Seraphim and the others.

Jill didn't want to see this situation, and she didn't want Roy and Seraphim to be "forced into confessing".

Therefore, even if the current situation has nothing to do with him, he still has to...

The moment he thought of it, Jill had already grabbed Elder Melm!

He just realized that Elder Melm needed "gestures" to activate "magic" to control those plants!

177. The elders have already decided to let you come...

So, instead of trying to come up with some clichéd plot like "the dark-skinned, yellow-haired guy strangles the elf girl from behind, causing her to pass out and letting the yellow-haired guy do whatever he wants to her," Jill thought: At least I can interrupt Elder Melm! ?

This was indeed the case. The sudden action caused the vines controlled by Elder Melm to lose control for a moment, and they just grew randomly under the storm!

However, this also comes at a price: Elder Melm's tolerance and patience towards him were completely gone after Jill's actions!

He had no choice, perhaps with the idea of making a last-ditch effort. While hugging Elder Melm like a princess, looking at Elder Melm's eyes that seemed to want to cut him into pieces, Jill took the risk and asked.

"Elder Melm, aren't you just dissatisfied with what Seraphim and Dean Roy are doing? In that case...wouldn't it be better to find someone to supervise them? Then you don't have to let them leave!"

"!"

Elder Melm, who was about to attack a second ago, stopped his action for a moment.

A violent storm doesn't just come and go. The huge raindrops hit Jill so hard that it was hard for her to even open her eyes! Not to mention seeing Elder Melm's reaction!

He could only rely on his inner thoughts, and with the noise of the rain all around him interrupting him, he shouted, as if shouting out loud: "Even if you take them back, you'll just be lecturing them, right?! You can't think of any other solution except to make them complain and be dissatisfied with you!"

After all: even if Elder Melm is a "highly respected" elder from the high elves, the discipline she can do for her "disobedient elf student" is really limited.

Who said that it is impossible for Elder Melm to stay in the royal capital forever?

Put yourself in Elder Melm's shoes and think about it. The only solution is to take the person back and educate him slowly.

So, this was the thought that Gil was now hoping to express out loud – he couldn’t dictate Elder Melm’s discipline, but he could at least offer Elder Melm the option of “not having to take the three elves away”! ?

Success or failure depends on this one move! If he gets beaten up next, Jill can only say: He admits defeat!

Elder Melm's response...did not make him despair!

The body he was holding suddenly twisted and grabbed his neck!

Dark and cold, it reveals the true face of this elf.

"Hehe...Ji Er~"

The deep smile seemed to see through his whole body, inside and out, causing Jill to shiver unconsciously - and it wasn't because of the heavy rain that made him cold!

To be honest: if Jill hadn't just made up his mind and spoken, he would definitely not have the courage to face the wrath of Elder Melm head-on!

The next moment, Elder Melm's hand touched his face!

In a voice neither too high nor too low, just loud enough for only the other party to hear under the heavy rain, he asked, "So who do you think is suitable?"

Seraphim and the others who were not far away finally recovered from the danger they had just experienced, and they even noticed the strangeness of Gilta and Elder Melm at this moment.

Strange posture, strange reaction.

It was like a time bomb that could cause Seraphim and others to misunderstand his and Elder Melm's every move at any time.

But Gil couldn't just throw Elder Melm to the ground at this moment, right?!

In a panic, the only option is to make a quick decision.

He went through all the "suitable candidates" in his mind, but found that in the end there was only one candidate left who might convince Elder Melm.

There wasn't even time to hesitate.

You can only speak immediately!

"How am I...how am I?"

In response to him, Elder Melm remained silent, as if he had anticipated this and was just waiting for him to explain.

"I... in my plan to reform myself, they are the ones I need to forgive."

"I definitely won't show any mercy to them, right? I'll supervise them for you. If they do anything 'unbecoming of their status' in the future, I'll tell you immediately!"

"On the other hand, please... don't take them away. If you do that... I, I'll be in a lot of trouble!"

The rain had already soaked everyone, and the golden bangs were pressed against Elder Melm's eyes. The cold silence might be considering the "feasibility" of Jill's words.

Then, a question suddenly popped up.
