Arcane Lord

Revenge Trial Department, Elise Branch Base.

The person Elise said came from above came much faster than Shado expected. Almost as soon as he returned to the room and had not rested for a few minutes, he received a notice from Elise, asking him to go to the hall——

Someone is coming from above!

While Xia Duo quickly went through the questions that might be asked in his mind, he quickly walked out of the room and came to the hall outside where everyone in the branch base could communicate.

At this moment, in addition to Elise, there was also a middle-aged male spell caster wearing a traditional judgment robe in the hall. When they saw Sha Duo arriving, they both temporarily stopped communicating and turned to look at Sha Duo.

"Sir." Xia Duo saluted both of them at the same time.

"McCard, this is Mr. Sith, the special investigator of the Internal Affairs Department of the Judgment Department. He is also a Grand Arcanist who is good at trial spells. He has a few questions that you need to answer."

"yes!"

Xia Duo was shocked. He did not expect that a great arcanist would be specially sent from above. This showed that the situation might be so bad that he would not let go of even a single opportunity.

"Lord Sith, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. McCard will state the truth."

"The situation is tense, so some unnecessary procedures have been omitted for the time being. McCard, let me ask you, was the information about the underground passage really obtained from the Cormanthor elves?"

Sith did not cast any judgment spell in front of Sha Duo, but directly deployed a miniature magic net to cover the entire area of ​​the hall.

However, Shado is not an ordinary high-level mage, but a senior arcanist. Seeing this scene, he realized that this Sith great arcanist was not only proficient in judgment spells, but should also be proficient in transformation. Department of magic.

It can determine various information from the interaction between the human body and the magic network. This is a lie detection technology that is more powerful than ordinary psychic spells.

After all, the mind can be disguised through hypnosis, prayer, torture, etc., but the natural changes of the human body are difficult to control independently.

According to Chateau's speculation, if you want to completely control the subtle inner changes of the human body, you must integrate the subconscious and superficial consciousness, and find the one-to-one correspondence between consciousness and human body functions.

This is not an easy thing. The latter is considered a side effect, but the former integrates the subconscious and explicit consciousness, which means——

Breathing, heartbeat, visceral peristalsis, hormone secretion and other human body functions that were originally completed automatically by the subconscious mind are now all controlled "manually" by oneself.

The difficulty can be imagined.

Even Xia Duo has only touched the threshold of integrating the latent and explicit consciousness, and the follow-up completion time is far away.

Xia Duo knew that he had to deal with it carefully. If something went wrong, let alone getting some supplies, it might be self-defeating and turn him into a spy.

"Lord Sith, I got this news from a Cormanthor elf."

"Tell me about the process!"

What Sha Duo fears most is being asked for details, but he also knows that he will definitely not be able to escape being asked for details. Fortunately, he has been prepared, "Sir, as long as they destroy the elves' homeland, they are willing to do anything."

"I'm asking you about the specific process, don't waste my time!" A hint of displeasure flashed in Sith's eyes, and he repeated the question.

"Yes Yes."

Xia Duo knew not to overact, and quickly explained: "After the Cormanso Elf's home was destroyed, I appeared in front of him as his friend, and without any guidance, he revealed the secret in his heart. Including that underground passage.”

This is not a lie, but combined with the previous sentence, it is actually hinting to the Sith - it was he, Mecard, who destroyed the elves' homeland, and then pretended to be the other party's friend to guide the other party to reveal the secrets in his heart.

It stands to reason that this little trick cannot be hidden from experienced special investigators, but the situation is critical now, and Xia Duo did not lie. How could the Sith think that a mere high-level mage would dare to take risks on such an issue? Woolen cloth!

He also mentioned before that some unnecessary procedures should be omitted. If he were an ordinary investigator, he would definitely ask Xia Duo about the time, place, and various details of his encounter with the elves in detail.

But for a busy Grand Arcanist, as long as he is sure that this matter is true, it will be over. Someone will come to inquire about the details later.

The so-called details are completely different concepts for people of different status.

In fact, even if he had to face an ordinary investigator who had to ask and record every detail, Sha Duo was prepared. As a former "Drow Assassin", he had indeed destroyed elven villages. All he had to do was graft the relevant details over. .

And the most important thing is that he has strong resistance to psychic spells. If he is just an ordinary investigator, he is not worried about being exposed.

Now here comes a great arcanist who can pass physical element lie detection. To be honest, Sha Duo is really flustered.

But fortunately, the Sith Grand Arcanist seemed to be eager to investigate the underground passage. After asking two questions about the source of the information, he focused his inquiry on the underground passage.

Wanted to get the details that were missing from Elise's report.

In this regard, Xia Duo also answered truthfully, telling all the information he knew about the underground passages in the Dragon's Back Mountains without telling any lies.

As for why McArdle could get such secret information from just a random elf, Sith didn't ask too much. That was not his job.

After a brief inquiry, he quickly determined that the fact that McAdd had obtained the intelligence was not a fiction. As for whether the underground passage was as McAdd said, further on-the-spot investigation in the Dragon's Back Mountains was needed.

And this is the real purpose of Sith's personal action.

…

After the Sith left, Shado was asked by Elise not to leave the base for the time being, but at the same time she promised a reward——

"Lord Sith's investigation will be completed soon. As long as the existence of the passage is confirmed, you have made a great contribution. Whether it is returning to the headquarters base for further study, transferring to other departments, or just scoring points, I can make it happen for you! You can do it now You can think about it in advance.”

"Sir, I want some arcana crystals and high-grade mithril to create magic items, is that okay?" Sha Duo asked tentatively.

When Elise heard this, she frowned subconsciously. It didn't mean that she couldn't withdraw supplies in advance. After all, no matter whether the underground passage existed or not, providing information always required rewards. It was just a question of how much.

If you withdraw in advance, you withdraw in advance. As the branch manager, Elise has this authority. The reason why she hesitates is more because of "McCard":

"What magic items do you need to create? Is the organization's standard equipment not enough? What you need most now is to take a good rest. Cormanthor's search may come at any time, and it won't be as easy as it is now."

But having said that, Elise still did not refuse the supplies.
