"My apprentice?" Bruno, the fantasy dragon, wondered.

"Yes." Jon Fano, the commander of the Blade Warriors, nodded and looked at Henry next to him. The latter immediately stepped forward and repeated Aske's words in detail.

"Oh, that's right." Bruno looked at Henry and immediately knew what happened at that time, and smiled, "Yes, Miss Nora Valenis Licinius is indeed my new apprentice. .You can ask her to help you interrogate the prisoner."

"That's it." Commander Jon Fano's brows immediately widened.

If it were any other demigod, the Blade Warriors would still be suspicious. But the Dragon of Utopia is the demigod of His Majesty's family, and it is an existence that can be completely trusted by the Blade Warrior, and this trust can undoubtedly be entrusted to his new apprentice, Miss Nora, along the master-student relationship.

It is not that the Blade Warriors have not considered asking His Excellency the Dragon of Fantasy, who is proficient in the "psychic" field, to help interrogate the prisoner, but this Excellency is a demigod after all, and it is impossible for him to condescend to do such a trivial matter. Now that his apprentice has joined, it couldn't be better.

"I will go and approve your apprentice to join the temporary interrogation team." Commander Jon Fano stood up, "Thank you very much for your generosity, Your Excellency."

"Yes." Bruno smiled and nodded, "By the way, help me bring this scroll to her, thank you."

This news was quickly brought back to the prison by Henry, and both girls acted very calmly. After all, they were already accustomed to the leader's magical method of finding opportunities to find opportunities.

So the knights in the prison were taken out one by one, and Nora conducted mind-reading interrogations. As expected, more than 98% of the knights were innocent and knew nothing about the rebellion, and only a few actually participated in or planned the rebellion.

Eleanor watched the mind reading results from the side, her fists clenched involuntarily. It was completely unimaginable to her that there would be so many knights who, even though they had done nothing wrong, were still subjected to selective sacrifice by their superiors and brutal torture by the Blade Warriors.

Does it mean that as a superior, he naturally has the power to control the life and death of his subordinates? Is this something reasonable and should be commonplace?

The more she thought about it, the more chilled she felt, and her face turned faintly blue.

Although she had been following the team for nearly a year and had accumulated a lot of experience traveling around the world, which had washed away a lot of her original innocent thoughts, but at this time, she truly witnessed the unfair treatment suffered by the family knights... and even the entire knight class. , Eleanor still found it unacceptable.

Totally unacceptable.

Probably seeing her angry expression, a certain Weisbach knight who had been cleared of suspicion and released on the spot dragged his scarred body to her and said weakly:

"Miss Eleanor, please don't blame Viscount Regens. In the final analysis, eliminating unstable factors in war is a reasonable and justifiable approach. Besides, it is the fate of our knights to sacrifice for our lord no matter what means we use. .”

"Sorry." Henry sighed silently and said to him, "I made you suffer."

"Viscount Regens." The Weissbach knight saluted him miserably. "I don't resent you. From the day we took the oath of allegiance to the Weissbach family, we were all prepared to devote our lives."

The knight lowered his head and left, while Eleanor raised her head, trying not to let some of the emotions in her chest show.

She stared at the ceiling for a long time, and then said tremblingly:

"They are ready to sacrifice their lives for us, but what about us? The vassal protects the lord with his life, and the lord protects the vassal with his power. Isn't this a sacred contract made by the ancestors from the early days of this country? "

"When did the Weisbach family have to rely on sacrificing their knights to maintain their ridiculous reputation and dignity?"

"Eleanor!" Henry shouted angrily.

"I used to be proud of the Weisbach family." Eleanor lowered her head, her eyes filled with sadness, wavering, and confusion as if her faith was broken, "But now, I only feel ashamed."

She rushed out of the prison without looking back.

After getting the information from the Dragon of Fantasy from Henry, Asker summoned Malkina and handed the information to her.

"Well, that's interesting." Malkina laughed after reading the information, "It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is also a domino enthusiast."

"Dominos?" Asik was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

"For example, it's like a domino. As long as you push the first card to fall, it will trigger a series of set changes." Malkina said leisurely, "And if others want to investigate, they can only start from Start with the last fallen card and keep moving forward to find opportunities for change.”

"What you mean is." Asik pondered, "The mastermind behind the scenes implanted a contagious thought into someone, and then let that person unconsciously infect the thought to the next person... and so on, through multiple people A communication network was constructed to achieve the true purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes.”

"That's right." Malkina snapped her fingers, "This is a good way to cover up the source."

"Who was the last person infected by Hedwig, the Acid Dragon?" Ask asked.

"Bruno." Malkina replied.

"Bruno, the Dragon of Fantasy? Is it himself?" Ask expressed extreme shock.

"You can ask him for the details yourself." Malkina said this and took out a small bottle from the slit of her chest. "Here, the final reward agreed upon is the potion of Desire IV."

"So you have found the ultimate goal?" Asik asked.

"No." Malkina said neatly, "Since it is a domino, it is extremely troublesome and time-consuming to trace back in sequence. But since the Dragon of Utopia is following up, it will be sooner or later that the mastermind behind the scenes is found. It’s over.”

"For the sake of your hard work, I will give you the reward in advance." The succubus sister leaned close to Asker's ear and exhaled softly, "How do you want to thank me?"

"I will take good care of Medea." Ask took a step back calmly.

"Hey, I owe my sister a favor, but I still owe it to her. Do you think my charm is not as good as hers?" Malkina pressed her lips and showed a rather resentful look.

Before Asik could answer, she flipped her fiery red hair coolly and said:

"Since you said so, then remember this promise."

"Protect Camellia, don't let her get hurt...whether it's physical or psychological."

Malkina's figure disappeared into the candlelight, the candle went out, and the remaining length seemed to be able to burn three times. Ask thought for a moment and put away the candles and potions.

Then he teleported back to Hearth Island.
