Late at night, Joshua and Ciri ate and drank together at Empress Ekana's banquet until they returned to the Hearthstone Tavern to their heart's content.

Claire and Monet, who had been waiting in the Hearthstone Tavern, finally ushered in the treatment that a prisoner should have, that is, interrogation.

Claire is led by the tavern's attendants to an empty room with only a long table and three chairs, and a dimly lit protostone lamp.

This kind of scene made Claire always feel like she had seen it there.

Qiao Xiu was now seated on the other side of the long table, and a female spellcaster who looked like a recorder sat next to Qiao Xiu holding a notebook.

"First of all, my sister's name is Claire, and my brother's name is Monet, right?"

Jo Xiu motioned for Claire to sit down, and Claire cautiously sat down opposite Jo Xiu, and then nodded at Jo Xiu's answer.

"Then let me ask the first question, if I give you another chance to defect to the Demon Realm, my brother Monet will temporarily become a professional player, sister... I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm going to give you a job, I'll give you personality rights, and you'll still serve the Inquisition? ”

Qiao Xiuqiang resisted the urge to burp and tried to make himself as serious as possible, he was too full when he went to Empress Yekana's banquet just now.

"Absolutely not, His Highness Qiao Xiu!"

"This tone, now the answer is the younger brother?"

When Qiao Xiu talked to this Chaos Demon in the players' lounge before, he almost figured out the general personality of his sister and brother.

"If your question is serious and not a joke, my answer is no."

Claire asked the emotional Monet to close her mouth for the time being, looked at Qiao Xiu cautiously and said.

"It's so easy to turn back and succeed..."

Ciri, who was in charge of recording the conversation, suddenly looked up at the Chaos Demon.

"Are you all like that in the Inquisition?"

"All like that?"

Claire listened to the tone of the female spellcaster, who seemed to know several renegade Inquisitors.

"Hmm... In fact, there are still a few former Inquisitors working under me, is it really okay for the Inquisition to vet spies? Defecting to the enemy's side so easily, if it were me, I would have fired this spy long ago. ”

Joshua suddenly began to talk to Claire about the spy's work ethic, which made her a little overwhelmed......

"I'm sorry."

In the end, Monet, who was ashamed in his heart, could only apologize quietly for his sister.

"It seems a bit off-topic, after all, I'm not very professional in interrogation, so you can go to the pre-entry inspection, and the second question is why you joined the trial court?"

Qiao Xiu's words once again completely dispelled the tense atmosphere, and Claire could no longer imagine Qiao Xiu as an image of an axeman.

There are also good people among demons, and Claire's aphorisms were taught by an elderly Cult Army, and Claire had always scoffed at them, and Qiao Xiu's performance made her have to believe it.

"The Inquisition found the souls of me and Monet and turned us into this... So we can only be part of the court. ”

Here, Claire chooses to lie to Josiu, who can easily make her and her brother disappear from this world.

Although it is very despicable, Claire must gain the trust of Qiao Xiu, which is the only way she can protect her brother.

As the thought lingered in Claire's mind, a pinprick pain suddenly crossed her mind.

This caused the Chaos Demon body controlled by Claire to subconsciously fall on the table.

What's going on?

Claire's eyes turned to the Chaos Demon Eyes and looked at Qiao Xiu who was sitting in front of her.

"I forgot to remind you, a friend helped me set up an interesting enchantment with a name that can be roughly summed up as the Spiritual Lie Detector."

Qiao Xiu showed Claire the mark of the skeleton in his palm.

"Qualified spies are able to pass the test of this magic array, but it looks like you are not trained in this area." Qiao Xiu paused and said, "So next you have a chance to tell the truth, Miss Amateur Spy." ”

"Our parents were members of the Holy Cult Army, participated in the Fourth Expedition, and then... He never came back. ”

Claire's hands clenched, and she relied on her own will to overcome the pain in her soul like a pinprick in her soul.

"So I also became a member of the Holy Cult Army and wanted revenge, but... Failed, and the Inquisition gave me a second chance. As Claire said this, the pain in her soul gradually lessened, and her eyes met that of Qiao Xiu again.

"Your second chance also seems to end in failure."

“……”

Claire clenched her fists and didn't answer Josei, knowing that the truth she was telling now might anger Joshua.

"Third question." Qiao Xiu didn't have the idea of continuing to ask, "How much do you know about the current heretical court?" And their purpose......"

"The Inquisition has a large number of temporary strongholds in the Land of Frost, and the bishops gathered in the Land of Frost seem intent on opening a... It's called the Gate of Roots. ”

Claire knew that this was one of the bargaining chips in exchange for her own survival, and she could only tell Josieu everything she knew.

"Door?"

"The soul builds the door, the holy relic becomes the key, and the root becomes the battlefield, so that the truth comes to this world."

Claire whispered a prayer that sounded very strange to Joshua's ears, the prayer did not look like human language, but Joshua understood the meaning.

"This is the phrase that came to my mind when the Bishop fixed my soul in this Chaos Demon body." Claire continued.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the interrogation room became dull, and Claire stared quietly at Qiao Xiu, who was lost in thought.

"The Gate of Truth? Are you sure those bishops haven't seen the comic called Fullmetal Alchemist? ”

"I've only seen comics called Big Cat Trip on the Magic Web."

Claire replied to Qiao Xiu very seriously, after all, she would be punished for lying.

"I drew it."

A comic book that Ciri took the time to create on the immovable library, a world that has had a comic book story for a long time.

Some books come with illustrations, and Ciri was recently told by the Purple Suit to practice oil painting, so Qiao Xiu suggested that she might as well connect these oil paintings into a story.

So Ciri combined his experience of surviving in the wilderness with what happened to Zenas to create a comic of the demon of sin traveling the world for 365 days.

"You... Are you an author? I've read that manga too. Monet suddenly intervened in the conversation at this time.

"Monet!"

Claire interrupted her brother once more, and the atmosphere wasn't very good for exchanging comics-related topics.

"Big Cat Travel is strictly the first comic on the Magic Web, uh... It seems to be off topic again. ”

After asking Claire, Joshua was unable to come up with any more useful information.

"That's it for today's interrogation, I have some things to deal with."

Just now, the dark elf sent a text message to Qiao Xiu, and judging from the content of the text message, Fuya seems to be having a nightmare again.
