As an academic, Leger may have the same skin and resilience as his peers, but that doesn't mean he has the ability to resist high pressure, not to mention the fact that the people who are exerting it at the moment are not very human.

Xiuge is already very proficient in this method.

The use of voice and tone of voice is merely inducement, and the real key to exerting pressure is the invocation of the anomalous magic he possesses.

After possessing the Destiny Roots Clan, and his own magic power has also been qualitatively changed, Xiuge is able to integrate some of the abilities of the Destiny Roots into this technique, with sufficient psychological hints, a little confusion and a huge sense of oppression, which can always destroy the target's psychological defense in an instant.

Sitting acutely aware of the fluctuations in her magical power, she pursed her lips and glanced in the direction of Xiuge.

With her own magical perception, she had probably guessed what Xiuge was doing now.

She is not proficient in this kind of interrogation method, which is related to her dislike of talking nonsense with strangers, so when encountering such problems, Wei Lin will always think of the notorious but unusually concise method of "psychic interrogation" at the first time.

However, this Leger scholar is an important person who officially received the invitation letter from Merlin Le, and he used the "Spiritual Interrogation" without authorization, and I am afraid that the Dharma Council mages on the ship will not agree.

Seeing that Xiuge's interrogation had already begun, Wei Lin no longer gave any help or hints, she quietly spread out the notebook she had with her, handed the magic ink pen to her mage, and began to help Xiuge take notes.

"Stand out...... Event? ”

It was the first time Legel had heard of such a strange statement, but he clearly understood what Shug was trying to say, and under the pressure exerted by the gloomy aura, he couldn't help but shudder, and then shook his head: "Mel, Mr. Ernst, I don't understand what you're talking about......"

"You really don't understand?"

"I don't understand!"

Leger shook his head firmly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued, "I can...... I can swear to Vann and Mel that I have not done anything against the local or Merlin laws in the last three years! ”

"The last three years? Why three years, and earlier? ”

Xiuge tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop: "As far as I know, you should leave your original realm for a long time, right?" ”

Leger shrunk his neck, his rather ugly face trembled slightly, and a dodging light appeared in his eyes bulging like a dead fish, he gritted his teeth, and then lowered his head: "Actually...... In fact, earlier, there was no violation of any laws, otherwise where would I still be on this cruise ship? ”

"What's going on?"

Hearing Xiuge's question, Legel's eyes drifted towards the Dharma Council Master on the side, obviously what he was going to say was very likely to be related to Merlin Lehe, so Xiuge waved his hand and motioned for the Dharma Council Master to back down, and the latter hesitated, but still complied.

It wasn't until the council mage had left, and Verin had set up a barrier to block out the sound, that Legle breathed a sigh of relief, and he spoke, "Yes, I was really ridiculous and stupid ten years ago, trying to take all kinds of shortcuts, and even plagiarize other people's academic achievements to achieve myself...... But after that, I figured out that since I couldn't get results in those hot areas, it was time for me to change my direction. ”

At this point, Legle raised his head and looked carefully at the young men and women in front of him, and seeing that they had no objections and were listening carefully, he continued: "I chose the ocean, and the magical creatures of the ocean...... Truth be told, it's a tough road too. ”

"Fishing, seafaring trade, shellfish and shrimp farming, and even hunting magical creatures of the sea...... Actions like these are permissible, and they will see them as the nurturing and merciful of the benevolent Goddess Mel to her own people. ”

Leger took a sip of water from his cup: "However, if you want to study them in depth, or even dissect the magic in the sea, such an act is not allowed, and many people will think that such an act is a blasphemy against the goddess." ”

Xiuge had already understood a similar situation before, so he nodded his head in understanding.

"So, in order to get around these restrictions and troubles, I have to spend some money where I need to spend money, and hire some unclean mercenaries or fishermen to do the fishing and hunting for me...... Or get some restricted specimens from the black market. ”

Speaking of this, his old face turned a little red: "My name was not crossed out of Merlin Lehe's blacklist until three years ago, and before that, I didn't even have the ability to send formal orders to the local legal committee branches, nor did I have the ability to go to some alchemy shops affiliated with the legal committee to buy alchemy drugs and magic paraphernalia...... That's the case, I hope you two can understand. ”

Through magical perception, Xiuge basically confirmed that what Legle said was the truth, and when he explained these things, although his heartbeat increased slightly, it was generally stable, and the expression of emotions was very natural.

He has no regrets about what he did, because in Legel's view, it was clearly a necessary choice on his way back to academia.

However, these things are also not the concern of Shuge.

If you have to say it, he himself was originally on the wanted list of the Law Committee, and the one next to him is even a heavyweight, not only a wanted criminal, but also once labeled a traitor by the Law Committee, in terms of severity, he and Verin are not much higher than Legel.

So Xiuge decided to speed up the interrogation process, he shook his head, and said, "I don't care about these things, and I guess the legal committee that has already sent you an invitation will not care either...... Scholar Legel, what I want to ask about are the things you've done in the last month, or even the last few days...... Attention, I said, you are now suspected of murdering diplomats. ”

After this sentence, Leger was stunned.

He couldn't help but raise his head and scratch at his messy hair, his face showing a puzzled color.

He thought very seriously for a long time, and the expression on his face became more and more strange, and finally the corners of his eyes drooped downward, and the slightly crooked mouth suddenly deflated, and he actually shed tears directly from the increasing pressure exerted by Xiuge.

In a matter of seconds, the tears turned into weeping.

Shuge stood up, he slowly walked behind Leger, and pressed his shoulder with the palm of his hand: "Scholar Leger, calm down...... You need to understand one thing, I represent the Dawn Society, and the Illegality Committee, I don't have the public trial power of the Law Committee. ”

With these words, Hugg's magical perception silently penetrated Legel's body, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal about him, Hug began to relax the oppression he exerted little by little, and his originally gloomy tone became much more relaxed: "If you are convinced that you have not done anything, please recount the events you have experienced recently, the important people you have come into contact with, and the places you have visited. ”

"If we confirm that there is no problem, I can assure you that you will be able to return to your cabin in no time and be compensated by the Commission...... At the same time, I can also represent the Dawn Club to provide you with assistance or opportunities to cooperate in your future academic journey. ”

As a strange person who can come out of the academic trough with his own ability, Leger naturally will not be stupid to anything, hearing these words of Xiuge, his mind immediately activated, and the mood that was originally on the verge of collapse also recovered a little in an instant.

He accurately captured the second half of Xiuge's sentence, so he turned his head sharply, stared at Xiuge and asked, "You...... You mentioned the Dawn Society, so this matter is actually related to the Black Sun Society......"

"It's good to understand."

Hug slapped Legel twice on the shoulder: "If you don't feel connected to them, and you don't want to be charged with it, please don't delay any longer." ”

Hearing this, Legle breathed a sigh of relief, his distorted ugly face completely relaxed, he wiped his face twice with his pajamas, and then began to explain his important experiences in the past month.

Verin's mage's hand shook constantly, and a large amount of important information was copied down.

According to Legel, he had been operating around the port for the past time, and his main purpose was to establish an alchemy workshop and research institute in the port of cyanobacteria, which of course could not be under his own name, so he approached the local goblin chamber to cooperate in this area.

When talking about this matter, Wei Lin said softly: "The reputation of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce is not very good, and their reputation may not be guaranteed, why did you think of looking for them?" ”

"Because my reputation is not good!"

Leger spread his hands confidently and said: "Big-eared goblins, they only care about money, everyone has money to make, and they take a little more, which is very good!" What academic credibility, what reputation...... They don't care. ”

"However, the big-eared goblins are really difficult to deal with in terms of investment, and I didn't talk to them until the day before they got on the ship, and other than that...... There's nothing else for them to do. ”

Then Legel talks about what he has done, the plan he needs to carry out during his time on the Windless Cruise.

Yes, planned.

Leger is clearly a clear "planner", and he likes to make arrangements in advance and then follow a schedule, something that Shuge had verified before, and with the help of the Magic Rats, he had already seen the timetable he hung on the wall of the cabin on the day he locked Leger.

And these plans explained by Leger are basically in line with the timetable that Xiuge saw before.

"Scholar Leger, tell me who you plan to socialize with on the ship?"

"Uh...... There are mainly two groups, one group of course, those scholars in other fields, and they don't have a good impression of me, so I need to spend more time in this area. ”

Legel said, "The second group is the troublesome dwarves. ”

"Troublesome dwarf, elaborate?"

"Hot-tempered, foul-mouthed, always suspicious of people of other races who want to take advantage of them and even hook up with their wives...... But it can't be helped, they do have a lot of great craftsmen and designers in there, and I'd love to find them to build a ship that can dive into the deep sea, and protect me, so that I can get a closer look at the magical creatures that are alive. ”

Leger shrugged: "Sounds ridiculous, right, but I think this idea has a chance, after all, in the early years, people didn't expect a lot of steel chariots running around on the ground, and a steam train transporting a legion in one go......"

Shug raised his hand to interrupt his words and asked, "Did you bribe those dwarves?" ”

"Bribes?"

Legel hurriedly shook his head: "I only gave me two bottles of wine, what kind of bribe is this, and I only hope that they will let me hire two excellent master craftsmen...... Wait a minute! Is there something wrong with those two bottles? ”

"Not only did it go wrong, but it was huge."

Xiug narrowed his eyes, "It's much more serious than pure poisoning murder, tell me, scholar Leger, where did you get those two bottles of wine?" Besides you, who have they been with? ”

Legel's voice trembled again: "The shop that sells alcohol is a store affiliated with the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, and it is said that it has been a long time...... I asked my assistant to buy two of the most expensive bottles, and they took care of things like the packaging! ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure!"

Receiving the response, Xiuge immediately turned around, he took the notebook full of words from the hand of the mage of Verin, and after a quick glance, he immediately opened the door of this house arrest room, and after a short thought, he said to the mage of the legal council who had been waiting: "I suggest that you inform the Duchy of Boult, regardless of what the Goblin Chamber of Commerce thinks, and first control the shops and workshops of the goblins near the port. ”

"Also, it is enough to temporarily gather the dwarven mission in my name...... Let's just say that there may still be people among their members who are parasitized, pay attention to the whereabouts of the female dwarf named Yena, and don't miss her. ”

Then, he said to Verin, "Let Richard contact our people and send this out, I guess Darthwell and Felix might have some other ideas about this." ”

"I ...... What about me? ”

The Legel scholar in the house arrest chamber looked at Huge with a blank eye.

So Xiuge turned around: "Fortunately, Scholar Leger, you are probably already one of the safest places on the whole ship, wait quietly...... I guess you don't want to go out just now, right? ”
