Chapter 166: Torture to Extort a Confession? Not required (2/4)
Link's performance gave Clyde a huge amount of confidence, and he was a bold man in the army, although he was not very successful.
4,000 gold coins, he first sent the soldiers' rewards, 10 gold coins per person, a lot of money.
The soldiers who received the gold coins were all hot in their hearts, and they were all the first to touch such a large amount of cash, and they were happy, but they were also worried about the loss of the gold coins, and they couldn't wait to hide these yellow treasures in the crotch of their pants to feel at ease.
Such a soldier, Clyde is naturally driven like an arm.
Soon, order was restored to the castle, the blood was washed away, the plague appeared, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers were cremated and burned to ashes.
By twelve o'clock in the evening, even the destroyed drawbridge had been repaired and the gates were closed, and at this time, the whole castle was deserted, except that there were many people missing, and it was almost impossible to see that it had just experienced a fierce battle.
Of course, these were trifles, Link didn't participate, and during this time, he was in the family dungeon, and in front of him, there was a depressed dark elf mage.
He was going to pry something out of the mouths of the two dark elves. The most common method of dealing with this situation is torture, but Link disdains to use such rude and brutal methods, he has a way to get the magician to speak, and he will definitely tell the truth.
At this time, this magician was defeated by him, and it was the weakest time for the psychological defense, but the psychology of intelligent beings has the ability to heal themselves, especially such a magician with a strong heart, after a good night's sleep, he will be relieved the next morning, so if Link wants to get a satisfactory result, the best way is to interrogate him overnight.
In the dark, damp dungeon, Link sat on a chair, while Parson, the magician three meters away, sat against the wall.
At first, Link didn't speak, he stared at Parson's eyes, which were dark red, because the magic energy was imprisoned, and his eyes were dull.
After only looking at it for more than ten seconds, Parson couldn't stand it anymore and lowered his gaze.
At this moment, Link suddenly spoke: "The Hand of Death is preparing to deal with the East Valley School of Magic, right?" ”
His tone was flat, not the slightest hint of hostility, it sounded like small talk, and he spoke the language of the Dark Elves, with a rather authentic accent.
"Uh-huh, fart!" Parson instinctively responded, but then reacted and hurriedly denied it, but it was too late.
Link had already gotten what he wanted, and a sneer appeared on his face: "Don't think I don't know, you guys also made a Black Moon plan in order to deal with the East Valley Academy of Magic, and Philia is one of the executors, right?" ”
"Nothing!" Parson's eyes flickered with suspicion in his heart, and he flatly denied Link's words.
In fact, as a retainer of the Norrigan family, he didn't know much about the Hand of Death, but at his level, a lot of information about the Kingdom of Perind had been opened to him, and although he didn't care about it, he also knew a lot of things when chatting with his colleagues and friends.
He knew that the Hand of Death was indeed preparing to deal with the East Valley School of Magic, because this academy concentrated more than 70% of the powerful magicians of the Norton Kingdom, and as long as the academy was paralyzed, the combat power of the Norton Kingdom's army would be reduced by at least forty percent!
And this plan, called the Black Moon Project, is indeed among the executors, and it is said that this plan is going very smoothly, and it has reached the last step, just waiting for the final outbreak.
But how did this Terran magician know all this? He couldn't figure it out, at this moment, he even suspected that there was a traitor at the top of the kingdom.
Link was not in a hurry, and continued: "You have tracked it all the way in order to avenge Orina, and you already know that I have a friend who is a mysterious magic master, right?" ”
"Of course I do." Parson chuckled inwardly, feeling bad, and realized that his tight-lipped mouth seemed to make no sense. Because as long as the other party finds that mysterious magician, he can directly see through his soul!
As if he could see Parson's thoughts, Link smiled, and the star-picking wand in his right hand tapped his left palm lightly, and said neatly, "She knows soul searching, very evil magic, right?" Actually, I don't really like to use this kind of black magic, but she's kind of a friend of mine, and if I call her and promise some payment, she's still willing to do me a favor. ”
"Parson was already psychologically broken, and in the face of Link, who had just crushed him in strength, his psychological defense line was even more useless, and at this time, he was beaten so hard by Link, and the only remaining defense line was directly finished.
Swallowing his saliva, Parson was silent for more than ten seconds, and finally spoke: "Promise me, after I say it, give me a decent way to die." ”
"There's nothing wrong with that. A cup of green warbler, how's that? (Note: Feroman famously made a psychedelic lethal poison in which the drinker would die in bliss, usually with a death penalty for defeating nobles in battle.) )
"Deal." Parson nodded, and then he added, "I want to explain first, I am only a retainer of the Norrigan family, and I have little to do with the Hand of Death, I know some information, but I don't know the details. ”
"Is that assassin also a retainer?" Link asked.
"So did he, and so did the warrior." Parson doesn't hide it at all.
"Understood, you continue." Link waited patiently.
Parson let out a long sigh and said, "There is indeed a Black Moon Project, and the target is the East Valley School of Magic, but I don't know what the specific means will be. What I do know is that once the plan is completed, the entire East Valley College will definitely be turned upside down. ”
"Anything else?" Link's attitude was indifferent, and there was no fluctuation at all, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.
"And then there's you. You have been listed as the number one target by the Hand of Death. The Hand of Death has a bounty of 10,000 gold coins for your head. That's not all, the magicians in the Silvermoon Council, Prince Norrigan have all added bounties, and anyone who takes your head to Perinder will get a set of customized epic magic equipment, and at the same time, they will also be made hereditary viscounts, with a fertile land within a radius of fifty miles! ”
Link touched his neck and sighed, "I didn't expect my head to be so valuable." ”
Parson sneered: "Heh~ You're just proud for a while, and it won't be long before I can see you in hell." Don't think your soul will go to Heaven, that's impossible, because after getting your head, the Dark Lady's servants will rip your soul straight to Hell! ”
Link just heard this, there was no cowardice at all, how could a strong man not make enemies, as the saying goes, not being hated by others is a mediocre person, and he is now so hated by the dark elves, which means that the other party has seriously felt his threat.
He should be proud.
Link asked again, "Are there anything else?" ”
"It's gone!" Parson didn't speak again.
Link didn't ask any more, he had already got what he wanted, the Black Moon Project, if he guessed correctly, it was much the same as in his previous life, and the so-called power that could turn the Donggu School of Magic upside down was only one, and that was the demon Taruvis who was imprisoned by Bryant.
His question now was, after losing the demonization rune, what means would the other party use to release this demon?
As soon as this thought came to him, Link saw that there was a flash of information in his vision, it was a mission.
Trigger Task: Investigate.
Task content: Find out the specific content of the Black Moon Project.
Mission Reward: 80 free points.
Link naturally chose to accept it, at this time, this Parson was no longer valuable, he took out the Green Warbler wine that had been prepared a long time ago, and the mage's hand activated, and the wine glass floated smoothly towards Parson.
Parson, who was also hard-boned, took the glass and looked deeply at Link, as if to imprint his appearance in the depths of his soul, and then he drank the emerald green liquid in the glass.
A few seconds later, an eerie smile appeared on his face, and then he tilted his body and fell to the ground with a 'grunt', dead.
Instructing the guards to clean up the body, Link turned to Hedell's cage again.
Hedell had woken up, but he was so badly injured that he was lying on the ground struggling for his life.
As Link walked over, his eyes rolled and a grim smile appeared on his face, but his body remained motionless.
"Parson has been killed by me." Link Road.
"Are you still going to raise him?" Hedell scoffed.
"Before he died, he told me many things, especially the Black Moon Project, and he said that you are ready to unleash the demon Taruvis to subvert the East Valley School of Magic." Link stricken.
The trick took effect again, and Darker's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Link incredulously, "He's not from the Hand of Death, how does he know about this?" ”
As a powerful assassin with a reputation for fame, although he was a retainer of Norrigan, he was also named at the Hand of Death, and he was also a high-ranking figure, so he knew more about it than Parson. Of course, because he didn't personally carry out the plan, he didn't know everything about the plan, he only knew how to release the demon Taruvis, but how to release it was the top secret of the hand of death.
Link's suspicion was confirmed by Hendall's reaction, and he mischievously said, "I'm telling you, Parson isn't actually dead, he's sworn allegiance to me, hehe." ”
"It can't be! You are talking nonsense! You're lying to me, aren't you? Hedell yelled, this thing is too nonsense, but I don't know why, he actually believes it so much, otherwise how would the other party know about the Black Moon plan?
Link laughed, he had verified his suspicions, and since this assassin was a retainer of the Norrigan family, he knew much more than Parson.
Being able to deceive Tarouvis into the news, Link is already satisfied. Telling a lie and teasing the guy, he suddenly let out a whistle that pierced the assassin's head.
The matter of the Black Moon Project is very urgent, although it is said that this plan finally broke out on April 15th, which is quite a lot of time, but no one knows what variables will appear in the middle of the way, and he does not know what means the other party will take to release Taruvis, the sooner he informs the mentor Veruola, the better.
After thinking about it, Link decided to rush back to the East Valley Academy of Magic early the next morning. (To be continued.) )
