The sun is high

As a scholar, Legere may have the face and toughness far beyond his peers, but this does not mean that he has enough ability to resist high pressure, not to mention that the people exerting high pressure at this moment are not ordinary people.

Xiuge is already very proficient in this method.

The use of voice and tone is just inducement. The real key to exerting pressure lies in his use of the abnormal magic power he possesses.

After possessing the Destiny Roots group and having his own magic power undergo a qualitative change, Xiuge was able to incorporate part of the Destiny Roots' abilities into this technique, with sufficient psychological hints and a little confusion of cognition. Illusions and a huge sense of oppression can always destroy the target's psychological defense in an instant.

Wei Lin, who was sitting aside, was keenly aware of the fluctuations in magic power. She pursed her lips and glanced in Xiuge's direction.

With her own magic perception, she probably guessed what Xiuge was doing now.

She is not proficient in this kind of interrogation method. This is related to her tendency to dislike talking nonsense with strangers. Therefore, when encountering such problems, Weilin will always think of "spiritual wisdom" immediately. "Interrogation" is a notorious but surprisingly simple method.

However, after all, this Legeer scholar is an important person who has officially received the invitation letter from Merlin Lehe. If he uses "spiritual interrogation" without authorization, I am afraid that the mages of the Legal Committee on the ship will not agree.

Seeing that Shuge's interrogation had begun, Weilin stopped giving any help or prompts. She quietly opened her notebook, handed the magic ink pen to her mage's hand, and began to help Shuge. Take notes.

"A big deal...?"

It was the first time Le Geer heard this strange statement, but he clearly understood the meaning that Shuge wanted to express. Under the pressure exerted by the gloomy atmosphere, he couldn't help but shudder, and then shook his head: "Sir Mel, Mr. Ernst, I don't understand what you are talking about at all..."

"You really don't understand?"

"not understand!"

Le Geer shook his head very firmly. He swallowed and continued: "I can... I can swear to Goddess Van En and Mel that in the past three years, I have not done anything that violates the local laws and regulations. Merlin and the Torah!"

"The past three years? Why three years, earlier?"

Xiuge tapped the table with his fingers: "As far as I know, you should have been away from your original field for a long time, right?"

Legere shrank his neck, his rather ugly face trembled slightly, a pair of eyes that were convex like dead fish showed a dodgeful light, he gritted his teeth, and then lowered his head: "Actually...actually... Earlier, I didn’t break any laws, otherwise how could I get on this cruise ship?”

"That is how the matter?"

Hearing Xiuge's question, Legere's eyes drifted towards the mage of the Law Committee on the side. Obviously, what he wanted to say was probably related to Merlin Lehe, so Xiuge waved his hand and signaled to the mage. The Master of the Legal Committee backed down, and although the latter hesitated, he still complied.

After the Law Council mage left and Weilin set up a barrier to isolate the sound, Legere breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I was indeed very absurd and stupid ten years ago. I took all kinds of shortcuts and even plagiarized other people's academic results to achieve my own success... But after that, I figured out that since I couldn't get results in those hot fields, I should change my direction. .”

Having said this, Le Geer raised his head and looked carefully at the young men and women in front of him. Seeing that they had no objections and were listening attentively, he continued: "I chose the ocean, and the magical creatures in the ocean... To be honest, it’s been a tough road too.”

"Fishing, nautical trade, cultivating shellfish, shrimps and crabs, and even hunting those magical sea creatures...activities like these are all allowed. They will regard these things as the benevolent goddess Mel's treatment of her people. of nurturing and compassion.”

Le Geer picked up the cup and took a sip of water: "However, if you want to conduct in-depth research on them, or even analyze the magic in sea water, such behavior is not allowed. Many people will think that such an approach is unfair. The blasphemy of the goddess.”

Xiuge had already understood similar situations before, so he nodded to express his understanding.

Legere continued: "So, in order to get around these restrictions and troubles, I always have to spend some money where I need to spend money, hiring some not-so-clean mercenaries or fishermen to fish and hunt for me... and Or get some restricted specimens from the black market.”

At this point, his old face actually turned a little red: "My name was not crossed out from Merlin Lehe's blacklist until three years ago. Before that, I couldn't even report to the Legal Committee branches in various places. Even after issuing a formal commission, there is no way to go to some alchemy shops affiliated with the Legal Committee to buy alchemy medicines and magic tools... This is such a situation, I hope you two can understand."

Through magic perception, Xiuge basically confirmed that Le Geer was telling the truth. When explaining these things, although his heartbeat accelerated slightly, it was generally stable and his emotional expression was very natural.

He has no regrets about what he did, because in Legere's view, it was obviously a necessary choice for him to return to the academic field.

However, these things are also not what Xiuge is concerned about.

To put it bluntly, he himself was originally on the wanted list of the Legal Committee, and the person next to him was even more important. Not only was he a wanted criminal, he was even labeled a traitor by the Legal Committee. In terms of severity, He and Wei Lin are much higher than Le Geer.

So Xiuge decided to speed up the interrogation process. He shook his head and said: "I don't care about these things, and I think the Legal Committee who has already invited you won't care either... Scholar Legere, what I want to ask is Those things you have done in the past month, or even in the past few days...note, I said, you are now suspected of murdering diplomats."

After saying this, Le Geer was stunned.

He couldn't help but raise his head and scratched his messy hair, a puzzled look on his face.

He thought very seriously for a while, and the expression on his face became more and more weird. Finally, the corners of his eyes drooped, and his slightly crooked mouth suddenly deflated. It was actually directly exerted by Xiuge, and gradually Tears shed from the increasing pressure.

But within a few seconds, the tears turned into howls.

Shuge stood up, walked slowly behind Legere, and pressed his shoulders with his palms: "Scholar Legere, calm down... You need to understand one thing, I represent Dawn Club, not the Legal Committee, I do not possess the public trial power of the Legal Committee."

Along with these words, Shuge's magical perception silently penetrated into Le Geer's body. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal about him, Shuge began to relax the pressure he exerted little by little, and he originally The gloomy tone also became a lot more relaxed: "If you firmly believe that you have not done anything, please recount the events you have recently experienced, the important people you have come into contact with, and the places you have visited."

"If we confirm that there is no problem, I can assure you that you will be able to return to your cabin immediately and get compensation from the Legal Committee... At the same time, on behalf of the Dawn Society, I can also express my gratitude to you in the future. Provide help or opportunities for cooperation on your academic journey.”

As a strange person who could get out of an academic slump by relying on his own abilities, Le Geer was naturally not stupid. When he heard these words from Shuge, his mind immediately became active, and he was originally on the verge of collapse. He also recovered a little in an instant.

He accurately captured the second half of Xiuge's sentence, so he turned his head sharply, stared at Xiuge and asked: "You... you mentioned the Dawn Society, so this matter is actually related to the Black Sun Society..."

"As long as you know."

Shuge patted Le Geer heavily on the shoulder twice: "If you don't feel that you have been related to them, and you don't want to be charged for this, please don't waste any more time."

Hearing this, Le Geer breathed a sigh of relief, and his distorted ugly face completely relaxed. He wiped his face twice with his pajamas, and then began to explain in detail what he had done in the past. Important experiences over the past few months.

Wei Lin's mage hand kept shaking, and a large amount of important information was copied down.

According to Legere, he has been active near Blue Algae Port in the past period, and his main purpose is to build an alchemy workshop and research institute in Blue Algae Port. Of course, this cannot use his own name, so He approached the local Goblin Chamber of Commerce, hoping to cooperate in this area.

When talking about this matter, Wei Lin said softly: "The reputation of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce is not very good. Their credibility may not be guaranteed. How could you even think of looking for them?"

"Because my reputation is not good either!"

Le Geer confidently spread his hands and said: "The giant-eared goblins, they only care about money. Everyone makes money, and they get more, which is very good! What academic credibility, what reputation... they don't care .”

"However, the Big-Eared Goblins are indeed very difficult to deal with when it comes to investment. They and I didn't discuss the funding issue until the day before we boarded the ship. Apart from that... they don't have anything else to do."

Then, Legere talked about the plan he had made and needed to implement while aboard the Windless Cruise.

Yes, plan.

Legere is obviously a clear "planner". He likes to make arrangements in advance and then do things according to the schedule. Shuge has verified this before. With the magic rats, he is targeting Legere. I had already seen his timetable hanging on the wall of the cabin that day.

The plans explained by Le Geer were basically consistent with the timetable that Shuge had seen before.

"Scholar Legere, tell me who you plan to socialize with on the ship?"

"Well... there are mainly two groups. One group is of course scholars from other fields. They don't have a good impression of me, so I need to spend more time in this area to get in touch."

Le Geer said: "The second group is those troublesome dwarves."

"Troublesome dwarf, please tell me in detail?"

"I have a bad temper and a bad mouth. I always suspect that people of other races want to take advantage of them or even seduce their wives... But there is no way. There are indeed many outstanding craftsmen and designers among them. I would like to find them to make something." A boat that can dive into the deep sea and also protect me so that I can observe those living magical creatures up close.”

Le Geer shrugged: "It sounds ridiculous, right, but I think this idea has a good chance. After all, in the early years, people didn't expect a lot of steel chariots running around on the ground, and steam trains in one breath." The picture of transporting a legion..."

Shuge raised his hand to interrupt him and asked, "Did you bribe those dwarves?"

"bribe?"

Legere shook his head quickly: "I only gave away two bottles of wine. What kind of bribe is this? And I only hope that they can let me hire two outstanding master craftsmen... Wait! Is it those two bottles of wine? Something went wrong?"

“Not only is something wrong, but it’s huge.”

Shuge narrowed his eyes: "It's much more serious than pure poisoning and murder. Tell me, Scholar Legere, where did you get those two bottles of wine? Who else has them in their hands besides you?" Have you stayed?”

Legere's voice trembled again: "The store that sells wine is a store affiliated with the Goblin Chamber of Commerce. It is said that it has been there for a long time... I asked my assistant to buy the two most expensive bottles, packaging and other matters. It’s all their responsibility!”

"you sure?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure!"

After receiving the response, Xiuge immediately turned around. He took the notebook full of words from Wei Lin's mage's hand. After a quick glance, he immediately opened the door of the house arrest room. After a short period of time, After thinking, he said to the waiting mage of the Legal Council: "I suggest you inform the Principality of Bult. Regardless of what the Goblin Chamber of Commerce thinks, control the goblin shops and workshops near the port first."

"Also, gather the dwarf envoys together temporarily and use my name... Just say that some of their members may still be parasitized. Pay attention to the whereabouts of the female dwarf named Ye Na, don't miss her. .”

Then, he said to Wei Lin: "Ask Richard to contact our people and send out these messages. I guess Daswell and Felix may have other ideas about this matter."

"What about me?"

Scholar Le Geer in the house of house arrest looked at Shuge eagerly.

So Xiuge turned around and said, "Rejoice, Scholar Legere. I'm afraid your place here is already one of the safest places on the entire ship. Just stay quiet... I guess you don't want to go out casually now, right?"
