The light reflected from the brazier left a flickering shadow on the cell wall, which looked gloomy and ferocious.
Behind the iron fence of light, there is the figure of an elf warrior.
His head hung on his chest, his legs curled up on the ground, his arms nailed to the wall - iron nails ran through his wrists, iron balls hung around his neck, shackles locked his feet, and chains wrapped around his body.
Burns, burns, cuts, heavy blows, corrosion... All of them;
None of the nails survived, and the hair was forcibly pulled out;
From head to toe, from inside to outside... It can be said that the elf warrior has "experienced" all the known physical and spiritual punishments in the world; Don''t say that he is still alive. Even if there is only one breath left, it is a "miracle of the Holy Cross".
The squinting black haired wizard held the fence and silently looked at the figure in the cell.
Looking at people across the cell is a very "wonderful" feeling... Especially for people who have experienced this pain.
Just like looking in the mirror, you will subconsciously bring yourself into each other''s situation.
"Duke." the demon hunter in charge of the interrogation stepped forward and presented the parchment scroll on the table with both hands: "this is master Dalton Kande''s interrogation record of the last three days. Please have a look."
Lauren raised her eyebrows and took it gladly. It was dense, and the whole handwriting came into her eyes.
Under the eagle throne of the Azores Kingdom, the chief adjutant of the "imperial court" among the "Four Courts", rod IL;
Wearing a sabre, Xinyue is a long Sabre handed down by the 11th ancestor of the IL family; In the samurai way of "blood for blood", twice the damage will be paid back to the enemy who was touched by the blade for the first time;
Royal Court warriors, in addition to the chief and second, there are 28 warriors, called adjutants; Sixteen wizards, called assistants; Specializing in security and assassination, sneaking, investigation and anti reconnaissance, responsible for all intelligence work in the eagle king''s court;
The so-called "Four Courts", from high to low, are "governor, royal guard, guard", collectively referred to as "Four Courts"; Each of the four chambers has its own functions, the number of people is also different, and the status is different.
According to the comparison of imperial official functions, it is almost the difference between "personal soldiers, assassins, generals and knights".
The political system of the Azores kingdom is similar to that of the Empire. The large and small lords under the eagle throne share the power and wealth of the kingdom; The only difference is that the eagle king has more power than the emperor and has the power to abolish and change the Lord.
The military organization model of the Azores
The tax and financial system of the Azores
The culture and tradition of the Azores
The diet, work and rest customs of the Azores Kingdom
Of the Azores
Looking at the lines on the parchment scroll, the black haired wizard sighed and couldn''t help turning his eyes.
Haven''t you asked everything you can? What else can I do?!
Think of Dalton kand''s words when he entered the door, "although you have dug up all the information, you can still try it". Loren couldn''t help but sigh that the mentor whose self-esteem was damaged was a bit more terrible than Charlotte.
With one enemy and two, without opening the valve and completely unknown about the enemy''s means and abilities, capture one alive and beat the other disabled. What else does the mentor want?
In other words, who is the protagonist of this book - a little priest, a mentor, or his majesty?
Well, not myself anyway.
"Let''s all go out. Here''s just me and him." put down the note and looked at the black haired Wizard of the prisoner in the prison and sighed:
"Remember to close the door. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
"Duke?" the demon hunter at the trial looked stunned, but explained as much as possible: "this guy''s mouth is very hard. Even if Lord Dalton wants to pry it open, it''s not easy. Let''s do it for you..."
"I said, get out."
Raised his hand and stopped the demon hunter who wanted to talk. Without looking back, Loren said in a deep voice: "but the next thing, I''m enough alone."
Just looking at the traces on the elf warrior, Loren understood each other''s meaning.
Interrogation has always been a "dirty job", but also a technical job - not only to be cruel, but also to be measured, so that the other party can reduce the injury as much as possible on the premise of feeling the greatest pain, so as not to let the prisoner faint or die suddenly.
Most importantly, you can''t treat each other as "people", even "living creatures" and even "living" beings.
Because people have empathy and subconscious consideration for each other - these emotions have to be completely strangled during the trial.
Even Dalton kand is not confident enough to grasp the measure, and can only rely on the assistance of these "professionals" who are proficient in interrogation and punishment.
But the last thing Loren needs now is this "means", so
"Go out, and remember to watch the door and don''t let anyone in," Lauren whispered.
The demon hunter stopped arguing, bowed respectfully, and then left the room with two subordinates.
"Boom --!"
The harsh sound of the iron door closing echoed in the prison.
The figure behind the iron fence was shocked, like a awakened sleeper, struggling to raise his head.
"Duke... Your Excellency?"
He slightly avoided the glare of the fire, squinted and looked at the dark haired wizard outside the iron fence.
"Byrne... Duke?"
"Loren Turin, Duke Byrne, Lord of the thirteen... Whatever you call me, I''m the one you''re going to kill." Loren answered softly, holding the iron fence and looking down at the Elven warrior kneeling on the ground:
"As you can see, I''m still alive."
The elf warrior laboriously blinked his purple and swollen eyes, and his expression was very dull.
"Your plan failed, completely failed - not only that, the two ''Lord ZAD'' you are loyal to... Well, or the ZAD brothers and sisters, also revealed the dark stakes and intelligence networks of all the Azores in the Empire." the black haired wizard continued:
"And you, rod IL, you have become the victim of their flight, abandoned here, become a prisoner and be trampled by others; there is no hope, and even going to hell has become extravagant hope; now, I want you to tell me about..."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...!"
Before he finished, Loren was interrupted by a burst of laughter.
"Hahaha... Hahaha... Hahaha..." the figure behind the cell laughed wildly, and the trembling voice, together with the chains and shackles on his body, made a "Hua Hua" sound: "hahaha... Hahaha... Lord Loren, Loren Turin! What do you want to know, what do you want to know? I''ll tell you all! Hahaha... Cough...!"
"I... I''m a book! I''m an open book! Ha ha ha..."
The dark haired wizard frowned slightly and looked a little stunned.
Bang -!
The figure behind the iron fence suddenly leaned forward, pulled the shackles, nails and chains on his body, desperately opened his eyes and stretched his head to Loren. His crazy expression and twitching corners of his mouth seemed to be laughing or biting.
"Tell me! Tell me what you want to know!" the elf warrior seemed to be staring at Loren, but he seemed to be looking at something else: "do you want to know the names of the royal court warriors, and the ability of each of them to know the way of samurai? I''ll tell you! I''ll tell you!"
"Well, not interested? Ah ah... It doesn''t matter. I know something else. I know something else. I know clearly whether the eagle king is interested in housework. The imperial court is the confidant of the eagle king. I know everything in the court. I can tell you!"
The chattering Elf Warrior fell into a sense of "self talk".
"Oh, yes, yes, yes... I said, we won''t say this! Alas, let''s talk about the Azores army; I know every general of the court guards, and I know exactly what I like and hate! My strengths, weaknesses, weaknesses and confidants are all recorded!"
"Oh, oh! It''s all my fault. I almost forgot. What you want to know is the secret of Azor long Dao, right? Oh... It can also be called top secret in the kingdom. Even ordinary Dao, the really top famous Dao is forged by the Royal craftsman, and each one is registered..."
Without saying a word, Loren squatted down slowly, focused on each other''s eyes.
But the "madness" of the elf warrior did not end.
The smile on his face remained the same, but his body trembled again, and his grinning mouth kept shaking.
"Well... We''re almost done talking. It''s time to hit me, isn''t it?" he stretched out his dry tongue and tried to lick his swollen and cracked lips:
"How are you going to hit me this time? I just used a soldering iron this morning. Shouldn''t it be a soldering iron again?"
"Whip, whip... Hey, hey, you need to dip salt water and hang barbs... Fish bones are the best, but iron nails are actually a little worse; hey, why don''t you just use iron bars? Iron bars are the best. They can be used no matter how you hit them. They are also convenient. They are more convenient than nail beds and hair pulling clips..."
"And weightlessness, noose, ice chamber, refining furnace, poison... All kinds, all kinds, right? It doesn''t matter, it doesn''t matter... I can persist for a long time, a long time..."
"Oh! Right, right, right... Don''t start, don''t start, otherwise we won''t be able to chat! I can''t see when I''m blind, I can''t hear when I''m deaf, I can''t speak when I break my mouth, and I can''t think when I''m stupid... It''s troublesome to ask me any more questions!"
He was still chattering and talking to himself - even if Lauren didn''t ask him any questions, he was still answering and repeating those answers.
The answers already written on the parchment scroll.
A word, a word, a punctuation... Nothing changes.
It''s as like as two peas.
Like a repeater, it mechanically repeats the content that has been said countless times.
Loren squinted at the repeating Elf Warrior.
This spirit... Or this book, has indeed been excavated by mentor Dalton and completely destroyed. There is no more information that can be obtained from him.
Is that true?
If so, why should the tutor tell himself "you can try" - simply tell yourself that he is crazy, isn''t it more useful?
Or if there''s any information you don''t know, just tell yourself and let yourself find a way to get words out of his mouth. Isn''t it OK?
The information that can be dug is almost dug, but you might as well try
What is the tutor implying?
The black haired wizard with flashing eyes constantly calculates the clues and resources in his hands;
Rod IL, he is the adjutant of the chief warrior of the "imperial court", and the "imperial court" is to the male eagle king, just as the night watchman is to the supreme emperor of the Empire; In charge of intelligence and assassination work, we should also master the basic functions of reconnaissance and anti reconnaissance.
In other words, the elf warrior should have been familiar with the matter of torture and extorting confessions for a long time, and may even have received special training in this regard to avoid disclosure.
After all, the "imperial court" is the intelligence department. It is impossible to think of such a thing as being captured alive and forced to confess; Information leakage is something they should try their best to avoid.
But he still said... And it was like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. He did it all, and there was nothing left, which was far more than mentor Dalton expected.
How is that possible?
It was only three days since he was caught crazy. He leaked almost all the information about the Azores kingdom. He should be able to write a few books... He is not a professional and can''t be so "efficient".
So there should be false intelligence.
But it''s not easy to deceive mentor Dalton with false information - it requires at least extremely careful thinking and absolutely clear reason, and you have to believe it.
Staring straight, Loren shook his head slightly and denied his idea.
Mentor Dalton''s "hint" will never be for such a boring thing.
It must be a very simple problem, but it can''t be clearly said that you can gradually wake up after "getting along" with the elf warrior.
Elven warrior... He could have been full of lies, he could have been silent, but he pretended to be crazy and told himself all the information he knew
What on earth did he want to cover up, what on earth did he want to make himself forget?
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..."
In the quiet cell, only the elf warrior''s crazy laughter echoed.
In the crazy laughter, there was a trace of agitation and uneasiness.
He said what he wanted to know and wanted to know; But always avoiding an important and critical problem;
A problem that he absolutely knows but will never say.
"Lord rod IL, I want to get an... Answer from your book."
"This is a very simple question, but also a very difficult question; so in order to avoid your hesitation, I''ll tell you what the problem is from the beginning."
In the cell, the black haired wizard, who was half squatting down, looked calmly into the crazy eyes of the Elf Warrior:
"Your Majesty the eagle king of Azores... What does he want?"
