Chapter 80: Extorting Confessions by Torture

The prison of the Blade Warriors, set up at the lowest point of the entire Emperor's coalition camp, was damp and dark.

After Henry showed the Blade Samurai's special certificate and password, the group was released into prison.

In the dim light, Eleanor couldn't help but frown when she smelled the faint smell of blood and disinfectant in the air.

She suddenly realized the key point: the scrutiny of the Blade Samurai may not be so ......

…… Humanitarian.

Despite her mental preparation, when she actually saw the knights in the prison, endless anger surged up from her chest.

Many of these knights, many of whom she had seen in Weissbach Palace, and who were loyal and enthusiastic to the Duke of Bavaria, had lost all their spirit at this time.

Their hair was dry and tangled, covered in dirt, and they sat against the wall on moldy straw, their clothes ragged and their skin covered in wounds and dried blood scabs.

"You use torture to extract confessions?" Eleanor was furious.

"Nope." Henry hurriedly explained, "The Chéng Rén Assassins may be covered with human skin, and underneath the human skin is a hard machine, so to determine whether they are Chéng Rén, a harmful examination is inevitable......

"If that's the case, one or two puncture checks will be enough to confirm it, how do you explain that they have scars all over their bodies?" Nora asked coldly.

This eldest lady from a wealthy family, when she was working as a doctor in the wounded barracks, she had also seen the most hideous wounds caused by the war.

However, when these bloodstains of forced confession created with malice and cruelty appeared in front of her eyes without concealment, she still felt the same anger of detachment.

"Ugh." Henry also knew the identity of this person, and turned his attention to Asker for help (you don't care about your people)?

Asker didn't seem to notice his gaze, and was only absorbed in studying the rust on the iron bar.

"Well, that's true." Under the gaze of his sister and his best friend as if they were about to kill, Henry hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth, "Your Majesty suspects that someone in the army wants to assassinate him. ”

"Assassination?" Eleanor was furious, "Because of this, the suspicion is on the head of our knights of the Weissbach family? ”

"It's not just our family." Henry said in a deep voice, "All the principalities have sent some of the 'relatively unreliable' knights to prison, how can we not follow suit?" Isn't this a clear attempt to make His Majesty the Emperor suspect us? ”

"Do you have any proof?" Nora asked sharply, "If there is no evidence, why should they be tortured?" ”

"Because the Blade Samurai is not up to Lord Henry." Asker, who was in the rear, suddenly said, "His Majesty the Emperor wants to strictly inspect the army, so the dukes can only give His Majesty an 'explanation'." His Majesty the Emperor could not believe the results given by the dukes, and indicated that the Blade Samurai would be interrogated, and the Blade Samurai could only give His Majesty the Emperor the corresponding 'explanation'. ”

Henry nodded busily, saying that what you said was absolutely right, Captain Asker.

Unexpectedly, Asker's words made Henry's face change greatly, and his hair stood on end:

"If the dukes don't hand over a group of 'suspicious elements', then His Majesty the Emperor will inevitably suspect the dukes, so the dukes can only choose to sacrifice these knights to protect themselves;

"In other words, from the moment the suspicious Emperor His Majesty said 'strict censorship', a group of people are destined to be wronged or even sacrificed for this." He summed it up faintly in Henry's almost "please don't say it" gaze.

"This ......," Eleanor and Nora were speechless. Reason tells them that this is the case, but emotionally it is difficult to accept.

"Why?" Eleanor bit her lower lip and asked uncomfortably, "That's why ......"

"Because they're on top." Asker replied.

"Captain Aske, don't you say it, okay?" Henry was about to burst into tears, this prison is not a safe place to talk, why don't you take a political thought class here?

If someone hears it and reports it to the Blade Samurai, maybe the royal gendarmerie will come to you later!

"All in all, Eleanor, your father and brother, did make this choice out of similar concerns." Seeing that her expression was quite uncomfortable, Aske reassured, "Of course, it is not that there is no solution. ”

"What's the solution?" The two girls asked at the same time.

"The premise of torture is that it is impossible to obtain reliable information from the person being interrogated by normal means." "Well, what if there are abnormal means? ”

"Mind reading, for example?"

Nola: ..................

Alas, how did I forget this?

"Mind reading?" Henry was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "It's just the interrogation of these knights, how could the Blade Warriors bother His Excellency the Fantasy Dragon......"

"Don't bother Your Excellency the Fantasy Dragon." Asker laughed as well, and pointed to Nora and said, "Because there is an apprentice of His Excellency the Dragon of Fantasy here, who can use his mind-reading ability to help the Blade Warrior interrogate." ”

Nola: ???

Elinor:???

Wait, when am I ...... Before Nora could refute, he heard Henry say in astonishment:

"So Miss Nora is already apprenticed to the Dragon of Fantasy?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask the demigod." Asker said.

"I'll go!" Henry immediately flew away.

Nola: ..................

She read the meaning out of Asker's head, nothing more than to use the name of the Fantasy Dragon to convince the Blade Samurai to release the innocent knights.

According to Asker's understanding of the fantasy dragon, this demigod wants to use the Azure Sword to contact the Succubus Queen on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is also relatively easy-going, so it is likely that he will not resist lending his name.

Alas, forget it. Anyway, this kind of thing is about to become a tradition of our team. Like Mia and Rasul, like Peggy and Agrippina, and so on.

As long as you can save these poor guys...... Nora looked at the prisoners behind the iron railing, and secretly activated the "life" ability in her hand, and the pale green light of healing lit up from her hand and fell on the knights inside.

While the healing effect may be lower without the cohesion of the Healing Gun, it will at least reduce their pain.

The knights in the cell looked up, and there seemed to be a glimmer in their numb eyes, but soon in the shadows of the nearby aisle, a certain bladed warrior quickly appeared and warned her unpleasantly:

"No supernatural abilities are allowed here."

"Got it." Nora silently withdrew her hand.
