Chapter 1271: The Grand Arcanist inquired and got through the test
Revenge Inquisition Division, Elise Branch Base.
The person from above in Elise's mouth came much faster than Xia Duo expected, and almost as soon as he returned to the room, and before he had rested for a few minutes, he received a notice from Elise to go to the hall-
There's someone up there!
Xia Duo quickly went through the questions that might be asked in his mind, and walked quickly out of the room, to the hall outside for everyone in the branch base to communicate.
At this moment, in addition to Elise in the hall, there was also a middle-aged male spellcaster wearing a traditional judgment robe, and when they saw Xia Duo coming, both of them temporarily stopped communicating and turned to look at Xia Duo.
"Your Excellency." Xia Duo saluted both at the same time.
"McCadder, this is His Excellency Sith, a special investigator of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Inquisition Division, and he is also a Grand Arcanist who specializes in trial spells, and he has a few questions for you to answer."
"Yes!"
Xia Duo was shocked, he didn't expect that a Grand Arcanist would be specially sent from above, which showed that the situation might be so bad that he would not let go of even the slightest opportunity.
"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"
"Sith Lord, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask, and Mercade will be sure to tell the truth."
"The situation is tense, and some unnecessary procedures are omitted for the time being, Mercard, let me ask you, is that information about the underground passage really obtained from the Komanso elves?"
The Sith didn't cast any judgment spell in front of Xia Duo, but directly unfolded a miniature magic net, covering all this area of the hall.
However, Xia Duo was not an ordinary high-level mage, but a senior arcanist, and seeing such a scene, he realized that this Sith Grand Arcanist was not only proficient in judgment spells, but also in transformation spells.
It can judge all kinds of information from the interaction between the human body and the magic web, which is a more powerful lie detection technique than ordinary mind spells.
After all, the mind can be camouflaged through hypnosis, prayer, torture, etc., but the natural changes of the human body are difficult to control autonomously.
According to Xia Duo's speculation, in order to completely control the subtle changes in the human body, it is necessary to integrate the subconscious and the apparent consciousness, and find a one-to-one correspondence between consciousness and the functions of the human body.
This is not an easy thing, the latter is also counted, it can be regarded as a collateral effect, but the former integrates the latent and surface consciousness, which means-
Breathing, heartbeat, visceral peristalsis, hormone secretion, and other functions of the human body that were originally subconsciously completed automatically are all controlled by oneself "manually".
The difficulty can be imagined.
Even Xia Duo has only touched the threshold of unification and consciousness, and the follow-up completion time is far away.
Xia Duo knew that he had to deal with it carefully, not to mention getting some supplies, but it was possible to be self-defeating and turn himself into a spy.
"Sith-sir, I got this news from a Komanso elf."
"Tell me about the process!"
What Xia Duo was most afraid of was being asked for details, but he also knew that he would definitely not be able to escape being asked for details, but fortunately, he was prepared, "My lord, as long as they destroy the elves' homeland, they are willing to do anything." ”
"I ask you about the specific process, don't waste my time!" A hint of displeasure flashed in Sith's eyes, and he repeated the question.
"Yes, yes."
Xia Duo knew that he couldn't perform too much, so he quickly explained: "After the home of the Komanso elf was destroyed, I appeared in front of him as his friend, and without much guidance, he told the secrets in his heart, including the underground passage. ”
This is not a lie, but combined with the previous sentence, it is actually implying that the Sith - it was he Mercade who destroyed the elves' home, and then disguised himself as the other party's friend to guide the other party to tell the secret in his heart.
It stands to reason that this little trick could not be concealed from an experienced special investigator, but now that the situation is critical, and Xia Duo is indeed not lying, how could the Sith think that a mere high-level mage would dare to take a risk on such a matter!
He had also mentioned that some unnecessary procedures were omitted, and if it was a general investigator, he would definitely ask about the time, place, and even various details of Xia Duo's encounter with the elves in great detail.
But for a great arcanist who is busy with affairs, as long as this matter is confirmed to be true, then it can be over, and someone will come to inquire about the details later.
The so-called details are completely two completely different concepts for people of different statuses.
In fact, even if he needs to face an ordinary investigator who has to ask and record everything, Xia Duo is also prepared, as a former "Drow Assassin", he has indeed destroyed elven villages, as long as the relevant details are grafted.
And most importantly, he has a strong resistance to psychic spells, and if it were just an ordinary investigator, he wouldn't worry about revealing his stuff.
Now that there is a Grand Arcanist who can take a lie detector through physical elements, to be honest, Xia Duo is really a little flustered.
Fortunately, the Sith Grand Arcanist seemed to be in a hurry to investigate the Underground Passage, and after asking two questions about the source of the information, he focused his inquiry on the Underground Passage.
Want to get the missing details when Elise reports.
In this regard, Xia Duo also answered truthfully, telling all the information he knew about the underground passage of the Dragonspine Mountain Range, without half a lie.
As for why McCard could get such a secret message by finding a random elf, Sith didn't ask too much, it wasn't his job.
After a brief questioning, he quickly determined that McDe's acquisition of the information was not a fiction in itself, and that as to whether the underground passage was as McCard had claimed, further field investigation was needed in the Dragonspine Mountains.
And this is the real purpose of the Sith himself.
……
After the Sith left, Shado was asked by Elise not to leave the base for a while, but at the same time she promised a reward-
"Your Excellency Sith's investigation will be completed soon, and as long as you are sure that the passage exists, you have done a great job. Whether it's returning to ABP for further study, transferring to another department, or just getting points, I can do it for you! You can think ahead now. ”
"My lord, I want some arcane crystals and high-grade Mithril to craft magic items, is that okay?" Xia Duo asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Elise subconsciously frowned, not that the materials could not be withdrawn in advance, after all, no matter whether the underground passage exists, providing information always needs to be rewarded, it is nothing more than a matter of how much.
Early withdrawal is early withdrawal, Elise has this authority as the branch director, and the reason for hesitation is more for "Mercard":
"What magic items do you need to craft? Is it because the organization's standard equipment is not enough? The most important thing you need to do now is to get some rest, the big search of Comanso could come at any time, and it won't be as easy as it is now. ”
That being said, Elise didn't refuse supplies.
