The warden who guards the witches

"Are you Sophie Carter?" Aiden's face became serious.

"You must have seen this as a matter of course."

"Maid Susan" who called herself Sophie Carter smiled knowingly, as if she was very sure that Aiden had seen through it.

"...I really didn't expect this." Aiden told the truth - under the influence of authority, he couldn't lie, but he didn't think it was necessary to bluff on this matter.

"Huh?" Sophie Carter showed a little surprise, "Really? No way?"

"A singer sent herself to prison for labor reform. Under normal circumstances, how could she immediately think in this direction? This is not a novel." Aiden replied calmly.

Sophie thought about it, and then agreed with this statement: "That's right, do you need me to prove it?"

"That's not necessary, after all, you can't lie now, but I still prefer to talk to me in your original way..."

"No problem." Sophie gave an answer before Aiden finished speaking.

In just a blink of an eye, Aiden found that the person in front of him had changed.

Aiden stared at Sophie's face for a few seconds, and was sure that this was the face that appeared in the newspaper.

"Since the person here now is you, then Sophie Carter who is recuperating outside..."

"Of course there will be a suitable substitute."

"Your maid?"

"Yes, this is her job."

"You have a way to change your appearance in the eyes of others... What kind of power do you rely on to do it?" Aiden asked.

Before, when Sophie was discovered following him, she should have changed her appearance into that old man the moment she left the store, and then turned around and bumped into him.

Being able to change people and clothes is definitely not as simple as changing the body shape like Abigail.

But no matter what, one thing is certain-this method should be caused by the power of authority. If it was just the effect of black magic, it should have been exposed when Sophie was checked for prison entry.

A person with authority and power entered his prison, which was enough to alert Aiden. The facilities in the prison cannot restrain the power of authority, only the "Wordless Code" can do this.

However, after his experiments, the "Wordless Code" cannot directly restrain various authorities in terms of rules. For example, if it directly stipulates "prohibiting the use of divine words" or "prohibiting the use of the power of a certain authority", it will be deemed as an "invalid clause". However, the "Code" can target what the authority can do, such as stipulating "prohibiting mind reading". The restrained person cannot directly read the thoughts of others, whether the means are black magic or spiritual power, unless his power status reaches the level of a ruler.

In other words, only by knowing the information about Sophie's power can he restrict the other party from using power.

"I have answered enough questions, can we change places first?" Sophie began to negotiate, "This chair is too hard."

"Will you confess everything if we change places?"

"We can talk about it in another place. Now you should know that I have not committed a crime... There is no need to treat me as a prisoner."

"Calling the police falsely is also a crime." Aiden replied.

"Warden, you must be a person who is on the 'God's Path', right? Is it necessary to stick to the rules of mortals?" Sophie said seriously.

"This is my job, and no one pays me for this path." Aiden had a blank expression.

"But the power of God is the most valuable." Sophie quickly continued, "This is also the creed of 'us'."

Aiden also deeply understands this point. Qiqimora once wanted to trade with him for divinity. The power of authority is an extremely limited resource. If it is used for trading... it is naturally priceless.

"You guys?" Aiden realized that there might be a group or organization with trading intentions behind Sophie. "Are you here to seek a trade?"

"That's right, but this is not a place to talk about business anyway." Sophie stared into Aiden's eyes and said, "I still hope to have a friendly exchange with you, the warden, on the basis of mutual respect."

"...Okay." After a brief thought, Aiden agreed.

A few minutes later, the warden's office.

Sophie sat down on the sofa and crossed her legs comfortably: "It's great. Both the bed and the chair have been so hard these past two days..."

"It's really unfair for you to let a big star live in prison, even though you asked for it." Aiden poured the brewed tea into the teacup.

"Drink black tea? It's rare to be alone, why not have some wine." Sophie suggested.

"No, we have to talk about business next." Aiden returned to his seat and sat down. "As you said, we have changed places now, so you can answer my questions properly. Where are you from? What is your purpose in approaching me? What power did you use to transform yourself into someone else?"

"You asked questions like a machine gun at the beginning? The atmosphere has finally improved a little, why are you still making it like an interrogation?" Sophie said in a scolding tone, "You even brought that 'craft' just now."

The amalgam golem was standing next to Sophie's chair with its hands folded. If Sophie made any extraordinary moves, Aiden would immediately make it take action.

"Who told you to contact me in this way?" Aiden replied without hesitation, "You monitored my whereabouts like a stalker, and now you forged your identity like a spy and sneaked into my workplace. I think any normal person would want to catch you and give you a good trial."

"It is indeed my fault in this matter. Please forgive my impulse. I just... want to know you too much." Sophie smiled.

"What do you mean?" Aiden didn't understand.

"I am your fan." Sophie confessed boldly.

"Me?" Aiden frowned.

He has not crossed out the rule of "not lying" in the "Wordless Code", and Sophie's words should be true.

But it is precisely because it is the truth that Aiden is more confused.

"Yes, you... just recently snatched a loot that is almost impossible to snatch from the Red Shark Pirates, right?" Sophie said meaningfully, "This is not something that ordinary people can do."

"You know a lot of things." Aiden stared at Sophie's eyes.

The other party obviously knew what the Red Shark Pirates had, and was also very clear that the thing fell into Aiden's hands.

"Of course, after all, I am a member of the 'Smiling Balance'." Sophie finally revealed her identity.

"What kind of organization is this?"

"In a nutshell, we should be considered intelligence dealers." Sophie added, "The intelligence dealer who knows the most secrets in the entire continent."
