Chapter 55: Methods of Interrogating Captives
"Divine power, which god?" Mores was even more confused, he had been exposed to the divine power of the goddess of the sea the most, and he had seen the miracle of Covey, the god of trade and wealth, once or twice, but he could also feel that this power was completely different from the two.

"Could it be the Storm Lord?" Mores guessed.
"Neither. Lukka shook his head, "This power is older than the three main gods you are talking about. I only had one feeling when I was in contact. β
He looked at the compass again, and seemed to confirm his judgment: "Confusion." β
"An older god, is it the God of Creation?" Mores continued to speculate.
"Isn't that guy dead?" Lukka remembered what Ollie had said.
"What's wrong with being dead? Don't you have any power when you're dead?" Daniel retorted with a loud snort, but although he was dissatisfied with the word "dead" in Luca's mouth, he still agreed with his captain in terms of divine power:
"Order can be created, and chaos leads to destruction. The power of chaos, even if ancient, could not have been the creator of the world. β
"That'...... Are there any similar prehistoric gods in your account?" asked Luca.
"You said 'prehistoric,' so who knows?" Mores shook his head, "Anyway, I don't have any information in it." β
Lukka thought for a moment and said, "Just because there is nothing in the information doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Daniel, isn't that part of your history erased? Besides, since the spy came to find this thing, maybe he will know something. β
"That makes sense," Daniel nodded, turning to Mores and saying, "First Rank Knight, you have someone bring that captive here, and we'll interrogate it." β
Mores secretly complained in his heart, he let the prisoners be taken away quietly, originally intending to get information from the mouths of the two sides of the intruder, so that he could compare and see what was true and what was false. To share another piece of information with these two strange guys who call themselves pirates, normally, he would never agree to it.
But the current situation is not normal, it is too abnormal. For no reason, a sea knight with a higher level than himself appeared, and he suppressed it with a real level gap, let alone resist, and even said a few words, he had to desperately find a logical loophole from the knight's law.
Even if Mores was reluctant, the rules of chivalry were unquestionable, and he had to ask his entourage to bring the captives back with a gloomy face.
Luca was in no mood to pay attention to Mores's helplessness.
Obviously he came for the source of magical power, why would the target be a compass with divine power attached? Divine power is obviously repulsive to one's own magic, and it is impossible to use it to replenish magical power. Could it be that the source of mana has been moved again?
Thinking of this, he didn't care about the group of sea knights around him, so he took out the magic map and spread it on the table - they shouldn't be able to read it anyway.
The silver point of light that represented the source of the mana shone firmly, and its position was still precisely locked in the middle of the tower of the Sea Knight Sanctuary, the point of the box containing the compass beside Luca.
It shouldn't be. There's never been a mistake with this map. Lukka lowered his head and took a closer look at the box again. This time, instead of touching the compass rashly, he slowly groped around the outside of the box with his hand.
Suddenly, a familiar magic loomed at his fingertips.
Luca turned his hand and turned the box with the lid upside down, and the compass fell on the table with a "snap". It seems that as long as there is no direct contact, there will be no abnormal movement of the compass.
He didn't bother with the compass, but held the empty box up in front of him. The box was unremarkable, but when Lukka tore off the red velvet that was at the bottom of the box, his eyes brightened.
A star map. A detailed map of the stars painted with fluorescent paint, even if you don't have to look at it, Lukka can clearly feel the light and magic contained in it.
So, was it the power of the compass that suppressed the source of the mana, and he almost missed it?Lukka grabbed a quill from the table and poked the compass with the tip of the compass in disgust.
When the tall Imperial agent woke up, the first thing he saw was this picture.
"Who are you? You can't touch thatβ" The agent suddenly remembered his identity and remained silent.
Lukka used the tip of his pen to pick up the ring at the top of the compass, which was supposed to be used to attach the chain to prevent it from falling. He swayed to the agent with the compass, "That's your goal, isn't it? What are you going to do with this thing?"
Mores wiped a handful of cold sweat, walked up to Luca and whispered, "Mr. Captain, you can't ask anything for such an interrogation. β
"Oh, I'll try, in case he's stupid. Luca returned to the table with the compass and sat down in his chair.
Mores looked at the captive. Traditionally, knights of the seas did not like to use torture during interrogations, but this is not a hard and fast rule of knightly rule. Unlike most knights, who only do what the law dictates to do, Mores is not afraid to try anything as long as the law doesn't prohibit it.
However, for Imperial agents, torture is probably not useful. All the agents must have been specially trained in this area, and besides, a poison sac was found in the back teeth of this captive. For this kind of guy who is ready to die at any time, it would be too much to underestimate the strength of the empire if he wants to pry the secret out of their mouth by conventional methods.
Maybe a truth potion from the black market will come in handy, but the effect of that thing is unstable, and the target of the use may indeed tell the truth, but it can also be meaningless gibberish.
Mores was planning the interrogation method, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Luca. The pirate captain was struggling to shove that beautiful empty box into his coat pocket.
Maureth: "......"
Forget it, if the pirates go out on a trip, if they don't get some loot back, there is probably some taboo. Anyway, he couldn't move the compass, just a wooden box. The knight lord thought so, and focused his attention on the captive.
He took out the glass bottle containing the truth potion from the drawer of his desk and shook it in front of the captive: "You know this, right? I heard that your empire often uses this, so let's try it today." β
The captive's pupils dilated suddenly, and it was already unexpectedly that the poison hidden in his teeth would be removed, if he was used......
The tied up Imperial agent suddenly let out a wild laugh: "Although this will give you some clues, it is better than eating this thing!"
His chest suddenly emitted a dazzling yellow light, and his whole body swelled up like a balloon, making a "bang" sound before everyone could react.
Flesh and blood shards smeared Mores's face.
