Chapter 015: Inquiry
Lie detection is a mid-level magic, but it's easy to guard against. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Since the mental power of the magician exceeds that of other professions, as long as he is a qualified junior magician, he can resist the detection of lies.
Although Karina's innate ability is to discern whether others are lying or not, it is similar to lie detection in terms of effect, and can also be defended, but the two are essentially completely different: Karina's innate ability does not require the consumption of magic, and naturally there is no fluctuation of mana.
Since there are no fluctuations in magic, no one will be able to detect the use of abilities, and of course there will be no way to be wary.
In addition, even if there is a defense, no matter how powerful the magician is, he can only make the lie detection technique ineffective, but cannot change the result of the lie detection technique and affect the judgment of the caster.
Therefore, since Kalena judged that Forster was not lying, Kaplan believed that there could never be a mistake. Although Forster is not loyal to the Deduwa family, as long as he pays attention to the contract, he is willing to work for the Deduwa family is good news.
It's just that when the "original" manor was attacked by the Cult of Light, Forster did not appear, and none of the magic arrays he set up were activated.
Maybe the problem is with this guy? Kaplan couldn't help but look at Forster's disciple Moroni.
He asked Karina, "Master Forster's disciple told that lie?"
"The last sentence. Karina replied.
The last sentence is not "Teacher, you are so kind to me, I will not leave until I repay my teacher." "What?
"Master Forster, is this disciple of yours trustworthy? Kaplan asked Forster. Moroni is a lie even if he says something faithful, which is doubtful.
Before Forster could speak, Moroni hurriedly said, "What do you mean? My life was saved by the teacher, how can I not betray the teacher!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Karina continued: "This is also a lie!"
Stopping Moroni, who still wanted to argue, Forster asked Kaplan, "Fourth Young Master, won't you explain it to me?"
Kaplan replied, "Karina was able to become the chief saint of the Cult of the Illuminati because she had a special natural ability, which was similar to the art of lying detection. I'm afraid this disciple of yours is not so loyal. ”
"Bastard!Who knows if what you're saying is true?Don't stir up trouble between me and the teacher!'s reason why I betrayed the teacher at all!" Moroni stared at Kaplan viciously, and was about to make a move.
"Actually, I can also detect lies, and I was casting this spell when I didn't speak just now. You know, although I can silently cast magic, mid-level magic is still a bit slower. Forster said suddenly, leaving everyone else stunned.
Although Kaplan's strength is not there now, after taking a closer look, he still barely found that there are indeed magical fluctuations around him.
Moroni's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth but didn't know how to defend himself. He did have the means to resist the lie detection technique, but he didn't notice that his teacher had used the lie detection technique when he was excited and nervous just now. Now I know that it's useless to say anything!
"Moroni, you must know that you are my only disciple, and I have never treated you badly. Forster shook his head and said, his face full of disappointment.
Moroni also knew that he had nothing to justify, so he suddenly knelt on the ground and begged: "Teacher, I'm sorry for you, I was also threatened by them." I'm not willing either. ”
Forster put his hand on Moroni's shoulder and said, "You've disappointed me so much! ”
"Teacher, forgive me this time! I will never be stupid again!" Moroni immediately wept bitterly and begged for his teacher's forgiveness.
When Kaplan was a little worried about whether Forster would relent, a cloud of blue light came out of Moroni's body! A large amount of hoarfrost appeared on Moroni's clothes on his knees, and he only had time to shout "spare his life" before his face was frozen with despair and fear!
When Moroni had completely turned into an ice sculpture, Forster took his hand off his shoulders and said with regret, "You have good qualifications, but you just aren't decisive enough." Your own strength is actually almost catching up with me, and if you dare to resist, I may not be able to defeat you. ”
I'm afraid it's not a good feeling to see myself frozen to death, right? Kaplan couldn't help but muttered to himself.
"Master Forster, you should wait a little before you do it. At the very least, you should ask him why he betrayed you, and who threatened him, right?" Kaplan asked.
Pulling down the curtains on the sides to cover Moroni, Forster sighed and replied, "I didn't think much about it for a while. After all, this kid has been with me for more than ten years, and it really makes me so sad that he would betray me so easily. ”
"If you're sad, you'll kill him. Kaplan said with the slightest face, "You didn't want to kill you so quickly, did you?"
Forster jerked his head up and squinted at Kaplan. After a while, seeing that Kaplan's expression remained unchanged, he said in surprise, "Are you provoking me?"
"It's not a provocation. I just want to take advantage of the rare opportunity to know some information, and who knows if it will become a hidden danger. However, it doesn't matter what you don't want to say, Master Forster. Kaplan replied, pulling Karina down in his way.
When Forster was staring at Kaplan just now, Karina stepped forward to protect Kaplan. Kaplan was quite moved by her behavior, but also a little embarrassed: when it came to the combat effectiveness of the two, he was no match for Karina at all.
Of course, Karina is only a junior priest, and the priest is still an auxiliary class, and it is impossible for Forster to be an opponent.
Looking at Kaplan again, Forster said, "I used to be really blind." I thought that the fourth young master was just a wreck, but he was so bold. Don't you know that it's very offensive to intrude on other people's privacy?"
Seeing that Forster took out his staff and was obviously about to make a move, Karina tried to prop up the shield, but as soon as her hand was raised, Kaplan grabbed her.
It's not that Kaplan doesn't think the other party will do it, but he has already decided to read the file. Since sooner or later he had to die the last time, why should he resist?
This time, his goal of looking for Forster had actually been achieved: Forster had no intention of betraying the Deduwa family, and the reason why he did not stop the attack of the Cult of Light "in the first place" was probably because of his apprentice who had been bribed.
But Moroni had already been killed, and Kaplan naturally couldn't figure out who had bought him. However, Kaplan was a little curious about why Forster was in a hurry to kill Moroni.
If he could have known before he read the file, Kaplan would have been more satisfied. He said to Forster, "Although Karina is the chief saint of the Cult of the Illuminati, she is only a junior priest, and I am just an ordinary person. Master Forster, do you think we can resist it, and in that case, can't you satisfy my curiosity?"
"You're too curious! If you just test me a little, I might be able to let you go. But why do I think you don't have any respect or reverence for me?What makes you qualified to be arrogant in front of me?" asked Forster, who didn't do it at once, suspiciously.
He also didn't think that Kaplan and Karina could rebel against him, after all, this was the place where he studied magic, how could there be no means of defense?
Kaplan didn't show any panic on his face, and replied with a smile: "My actions are not arrogant, I dare to offend you like this master just because I have a way to redeem it." ”
As long as Kaplan reads the file, others will not be able to leave the slightest memory! No matter how Kaplan offends people, the other party will naturally "release his past suspicions" after that.
Forster, of course, didn't know what Kaplan was thinking, and looked at him with surprise, feeling that he only knew him now. After thinking about it, Forster said, "I'd like to see what you can do to redeem it." I'll tell you why I'm going to kill Moroni: I've been taking a break from necromancy lately, and though I haven't told Moroni, he's aware of it. ”
The Cult of Light is the largest sect in the Holy Light Continent, and they have always spared no effort to suppress necromancers. And due to the particularity of necromancer, although the Magic Association will not suppress it, it will also stay away from necromancers.
Forster's telling his secret wasn't because he wanted to die, but because he wasn't afraid that the secret would be revealed by Kaplan: he had already made up his mind anyway!
Moreover, Kaplan has abducted the Holy Maiden of Light, will he still go to the Cult of Light to inform?
"That's why you're going to kill it. Honestly, I can understand what you're trying to hide, but I'm not biased against necromancy. Kaplan said with a look of abrupt realization, "Of course, you can't easily believe my words, and I don't expect you to believe them. Anyway, I won't ask you that question next time. ”
Forster frowned, "Next time, don't say if you have a next time, you know my secret now, what's the point of talking about next time?"
"Of course it makes sense, because the world is about to restart. Kaplan didn't go into too much detail, not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't go on.
Kaplan fell straight to the ground, a dagger slipping from his hand: the dagger was coated with venom to ensure that Kaplan would soon die.
Looking at the anxious look on Karina's face who was supporting him, Kaplan couldn't help but comfort: "Don't worry, I won't die." ”
Although he knew that Karina's memories would completely disappear after the reboot, he really didn't want to see her so sad.
Karina's face immediately showed bewilderment, and she naturally felt that Kaplan was telling the truth.
"Why do I realize that you are still telling the truth?" His art of detecting lies has not yet been closed.
