Chapter 114: Cognition Determines True Lies

Reuth's telepathic properties are over 5000.

At this value, the high-level Juggernaut is basically a humanoid lie detector.

A liar may be able to control his heartbeat and breathing, and may even be able to control the secretion of bodily fluids and hormones, but he will never be able to hide from Reut's psychic sense.

As long as he understands that he is lying!

Kyle and Reutt have been together for more than a decade, so they are naturally well aware of this. In order to prevent exposure from polygraphs, he manipulated his thinking.

After his first battle with Trisuan, Kyle received a ring from the Witch called the 'Ring of Thinking Will' (see Chapter 79), which contained a spell called the 'Thinking Seal' that could alter the recipient's perception.

For example, people think that 'water is poisonous', 'wolves eat grass, sheep eat meat', 'those with handles between the crotch are called women, and those who don't have handles are called men', etc.

However, Kyle did not do anything about himself that could easily conflict with objective facts or common sense, and make the recipient realize that it was wrong, he only quietly cast a spell on himself before answering Reut, forcing himself to believe that the statement he had just made was true.

Anyway, he has Wuji.

Even if this set of arguments can justify itself, Kyle himself can't notice anything wrong, but Wuji can restore his mind and cognition at any time.

When a person determines that the facts of a thing are xxx and tells others about it, even if xxx is not an objective fact, this person is indeed not lying, but his opinion is wrong relative to the objective facts.

If people believe that their words are the truth, then it is not a lie.

It's called the truth!!

Since he cast a spell that changed his perception, Kyle certainly wouldn't think he was lying, and Reut certainly couldn't see it.

So......

The high-ranking Juggernaut chose to believe Kyle's words.

He touched Poet's head and summed up Kyle's 'experience tonight': "So, you're going to do so much tonight, and it's for this cute little girl?" ”

"Well, it seems...... That's exactly what happened! ”

Kyle said curtly.

Seeing Kyle's appearance, Reut shook his head helplessly, and didn't say anything about it.

After all, Kyle didn't do anything wrong tonight other than letting the Ammal brothers run away, and he got evidence that the Throne of Bones was crazy about using the corpses of young children to create spikes.

With this thing, the reputation of the Throne of Bones will be stained with indelible stains.

Kyle's credit clearly outweighs his fault.

Moreover, the past is over after all, and it is better to accept the reality and face the future.

So, Reut asked: "According to what you said, this little girl's father is dead, and now the monk and the young brother depend on each other, seeing that you attach so much importance to her, you must want to cultivate her, right?" ”

"That's right!"

Kyle admits his thoughts: "I'm going to make their brother and sister my servants...... Do you think it's okay? ”

"You can decide this kind of thing yourself, as long as her brother agrees to be your servant, I have no problem here." Reut waved his hand and let Kyle decide for himself.

"Good!"

Kyle was waiting for him.

…………

Wanting to extort something more from Trisuan (the Ring of Thunder), Kyle tells Lorna's team to stay underground on the pretext that the others are too weak to help.

Now that things are over for now, Kyle certainly needs to reunite Bevis with the Shiko siblings.

After the brother and sister met, they naturally hugged each other excitedly and couldn't cry.

In addition to Team Lorna and Beveris, Kyle also sees Captain Bunker emerge from the portal with a bruised nose and swollen face...... Well! Looking at the fist print, Belinda should have done it, and this chick with a sense of justice probably knew what Bunker had done.

At the same time, Reuter was not idle.

While Reut and Kyle were talking, shadowy figures began to appear in the woods near them, looking for something.

They were all attracted by the coming of the Abyss Will.

It's just that Reut has the highest perception, the strongest strength, and the fastest speed, so he was the first to arrive here.

The High Rank Blademaster walked to the center of a clearing.

This is the most open view and is the place where everyone around can see it at a glance.

As Reut stood still, he flicked his fingers at the demigod longsword 'Tymiral's Fang'.

"Bell ......!!"

Suddenly, the metal collision and humming sound caused by the epic telekinesis immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even the Shiko brothers and sisters who were hugging and crying were interrupted by this harsh voice and looked at Reutt suspiciously.

Kyle is no exception.

LOYTEC at this time was different from usual.

If he is usually a sheathed divine soldier, although he has momentum, he does not show the slightest edge. And now, naturally, is the time for the knife to come out of the sheath.

Under the influence of his powerful telekinesis, everyone felt like a needle.

The burning pain in both eyes was unbearable.

In order to intimidate these people and make them obedient, Reut showed his true strength.

"Everyone's listening!!"

"I am the Acting Lord of Sharpsburg, the Honorary Earl of the Empire, and the High Sword Saint Reut."

"Whatever you came for or what you were looking for, but now! Except for those who are in public office, the rest of the people, etc., are forbidden to enter the two-kilometer radius of the estate......"

With a wave of his hand, a five-meter-long crescent moon sword qi flew out.

Thundered!!!

With a loud sound, the sword qi walked close to the ground, cutting a trench of soil on the ground that was more than 100 meters long and up to meters deep.

“…… If you violate it, die!! ”

Seeing this scene, no one dared to respond for a while.

Being able to sense the coming of the Abyssal Will and be able to rush here in such a short period of time are most of these super-level powerhouses.

Some of them are members of the dragonborn families in the city, there are powerful adventurers and high-level mercenaries who have recently arrived in Sharpsburg because of the gnolls, and some are simply hidden cultists, or high-level spies of organizations such as the Throne of Bones and the Blood Dragon Society.

Public officials make up only a small fraction.

And, after Reut spoke, all of them appeared in front of the Acting Lord, and were 'voluntarily' captured by him.

The rest have their own choices.

A few people left the place after being frightened by Reuter and hearing him speak.

There are also some people who originally came here to investigate the situation, so naturally they will not leave here easily, but they dare not take the lead.

Most people are undecided, not knowing whether to leave or stay, so they choose to wait and see which direction the wind goes.

After a few minutes......

Just when Reuth was already impatient and ready to move away.

A middle-aged man of medium stature stepped forward, dressed in unpretentious heavy armor, walking with a long clatter, and wearing the holy emblem of Cassano, the god of war, on his chest.

Looks like a mercenary.
