Tommy didn't stay in the interrogation room, nor did he go to jail to pedal the treadmill.

He was very discreetly imprisoned in the underground vault of the Inspectorate of the Red Queen.

His hands were shackled in glowing shackles, and his bare back was branded with a seal that shone with a silvery white light. He had nothing but a pair of shorts with no pockets.

The superior demon of Tommy's contract was chopped off by the Great Guardian in ten minutes. After he was detained, he was searched and confirmed that there were no trinkets or materials on his body - even his mouth was broken open to make sure that there were no dentures hidden inside.

As a demon scholar, he should be disarmed...... But even so, he was firmly sealed by the lawyers, so that the mana in his body could not be mobilized. The mana, which is also of the light attribute, can heal others and dispel darkness in the hands of priests; But in the hands of the lawyers, they become bondages and seals.

Although he was in front of the Great Guardian at the time, Tommy did not hesitate to kneel down and surrender - in fact, when he saw the Great Guardian, he already knew that he would not be able to escape.

At that time, if Tommy had fled directly, there was a high probability that he would have been chased directly by the griffons who were watching. There is even a possibility that the Great Guardian on a griffon ride will come in person.

- He can't even beat a great guardian without a griffon, let alone a griffon.

Even if he did escape...... Then he would also be a fugitive and wanted.

After all, he is not an unknown person, and "Tommy Lloyd's" is famous in the entire Lloyd's district. His size was clearly not suitable for concealment.

And most importantly – he didn't want to die like that.

The coldness and anger in the eyes of the Great Guardian frightened him.

If he didn't surrender in time, he would have been killed by Meg's Word, even if he wasn't killed, but was only knocked down or wounded. But the reason why he surrendered was not because he wanted to die more simply...... It's that he does have the certainty of surviving.

— because he has too many cards in his hand.

Tommy was 100% sure that Boca didn't know as much as he did. Not even a tenth of what he knew.

He usually takes the most important part of the work to himself, which is prepared for this moment.

He knew too many people's tricks: at least two-thirds of the knights in the entire round table had sought his financial support, either directly or indirectly, and at least eighty percent of the evidence had been carefully preserved by him.

And he also knew the strongholds and codes of the Noble Red Society throughout Avalon; Know where the spies are and what they do. He also knew which knights or members of the knights' families had ties to the spies of Star Antimony or Iris, and which of the great men had committed great crimes...... He also kept these evidences in different places.

Taking a step back, he was at least a fourth-level peak demon scholar.

He only needs to complete the advancement ritual for him to be promoted to the fifth energy level. He can escort the designated person to the fifth level during the ritual - after all, if the fourth level of advancement fails, it will seriously damage the soul and may even be life-threatening. There weren't many powerhouses of the fifth energy level in the entire Avalon.

But he was physically strong enough to withstand the ritual backlash. It is also meaningful to give birth to a large number of transcendents of the fifth energy level; It doesn't matter if he advances on his own, after all, he is a demon scholar without a contract demon, and in a sense, he is harmless.

And whether he succeeds in advancing or not, he can also be used as a living transcendent path detector. As long as the official sends the person who is suspicious over, he can tell if the other party has a level beyond the path.

- He's so useful, in every sense of the word.

Because of this, Tommy became tough after being locked up. Because he was sure that after he had said all these things, the Inspectorate would have to think about it carefully. And in order for him to survive, they will let Meg dismiss.

Although Tommy has been sealed, he can at least kill himself and prevent the Legalist from searching his memories - the Demon Scholar's last power is to summon demons by sacrificing himself as a sacrifice. Not to mention, he knows so many secrets that Tommy can't even remember many of them, and has to rely on the texts and passwords he hides in certain places to analyze them.

Search memory can only search for what you have seen and heard recently, but you cannot see "thoughts" and "skills". In other words, no one knows exactly what his password is, and even if he gets the encrypted document, it is difficult to solve the puzzle.

This is Tommy's preparation for a memory search of the lawyer.

- If he is killed, then these secrets will not see the light of day. He threatened.

As a result, the situation entered the link that Tommy was familiar with - the game. Or bargaining.

If he doesn't cooperate, he will be cursed by Meg; But if he died, Avalon would lose a lot of valuable clues, and Avalon would not be able to find a more valuable source of information than him.

And many secrets are known only to him, and he can't find all the memories of the search.

In other words, if Tommy dies, it will be a situation that neither side wants to see; But after all, he was tied to a bomb that would die if he didn't disarm it for three days, and the initiative in this matter was in the hands of the Supervision Bureau.

The two sides are locked in a game. The Inspectorate doesn't want Tommy dead, but it has to use this threat to spit out more information; Tommy knew that he was very useful, and that the Inspectorate didn't want to let him die, so he gritted his teeth and wanted to fight for more benefits.

And that's where Tommy's comfort zone comes in. What he does best is gambling.

Instead of asking for the spirit to be dismissed, Tommy asked for at least a suspended sentence of thirty days - if the Inspectorate agreed, he would reveal three recent secrets, including the missing Evas, as their first deal.

As a result of the sincerity of the cooperation between the two sides, and to prove that what he said was true, he asked the Inspector General who came to interrogate her if she had any knights he hated.

After the names of the three knights who were hostile to the queen were announced, Tommy did not hesitate to state their crimes and where the evidence was kept.

"It's a sample."

Tommy's eyes flashed with a sly look: "You can try it, what I said is true or false."

"If you can, please let the noose around my neck loosen a little bit, Mistress Meg...... I will be more valuable. ”

Naturally, the Inspectorate is not a vegetarian. They want more, then the initiative to cooperate cannot fall into Tommy's hands.

So they locked him up in a completely safe basement, intending to hang him out like this first.

A day has passed, and Tommy has two days left to live. When he has his last day or half a day left, even if he knows it, he will definitely be in a hurry. Don't look at Tommy's calm and cunning now, as soon as his blood pressure rises, the giant blood will naturally overwhelm his mind...... When the time comes, it's not too late for them to talk about cooperation.

No food, no lights. Not even a single person to speak.

Tommy was sealed in a dark room with no light and no sound.

This is a very effective means of torture.

Now that most of the day has passed, he doesn't know how much time it is outside. It even feels like three days have already passed, or that the time is about to come...... The fear in his heart caused him to hallucinate, and the memories of his childhood played out like a slideshow.

Those who saw and killed appeared in front of them like hallucinations. The sound of their talking, their laughter, their wails before death rang in their ears. Tommy, on the other hand, curled up on the bed, his eyes open but motionless.

Tommy is a half-blood giant three generations later.

At the same time, he is also a half-elf.

The giant blood in his body was only one-eighth, while the elven blood was one-quarter.

It stands to reason that he should just be a grumpy half-elf.

But when it came to his generation, the giant bloodline in his body suddenly returned to his ancestors and behaved extremely actively......

Before he was born, his father disappeared; And his mother remarried after giving birth to him, but died of illness less than two years later.

When Tommy was three years old, his parents were not related to him in the slightest. But even so, his father is still raising him.

- Until he was five years old, because he couldn't suppress the raging blood in his body, he kicked his grandmother's knee with one kick.

As a result, he was beaten up by his stepfather, who was not related by blood, and was directly abandoned in Lloyd's area.

At that time, the noble red had not yet entered the glass island, so there were not so many demon scholars in Lloyd's who were in dire need of materials. So at least he won't decompose on the spot and turn into humanoid self-propelled material.

Although the Half-Blood Giant's heart, bone marrow, liver, and kidneys can all be used as rare alchemy materials, which can be used to craft Giant Strength Potion, Fury Potion, Powerful Fetal Protector, and Long-Acting Stimulant, respectively. But the five-year-old giant doesn't look much different from a normal human child, and no one will find out that he's a half-blood giant.

However, an adult with expensive items is thrown into the Lloyd's area, and there is a high probability that it is dangerous; But the child is safe in the Lloyd's area.

For here, children are a commodity, a necessary material for the training of Assassins. This is especially true of strong, intelligent, and dexterous children.

At the time, the Grey-Green Lady was only a high-ranking Assassin, not yet a manager in this area. But her boss ...... That is, the "mother" who raised her since she was a child is.

Her "mom" picks up Tommy and puts him on an assassin workout. However, Tommy lacks the talent to adapt to the path - the anger in his body makes it impossible for him to remain silent and silent, let alone stay in the dark and observe everything calmly.

So Tommy was abandoned again. It just so happened that the last Lloyd's needed more adopted sons at that time, so he bought Tommy from her.

Including Lloyd's own wife, Tommy had a total of seven parents. However, he never felt affection.

- No one knows that Tommy was not actually chosen by his adoptive father to inherit the surname Lloyd's.

At that time, the most promising successor to Lloyd's was Tommy's sister.

They had seven brothers, Tommy was fifth.

In fourth place, "Rovita" has a well-balanced path adaptability, is smart and beautiful, and is cold enough.

When she was fourteen or fifteen years old, she made a lot of money by selling ocean information. And at the age of eighteen, she even befriended a prince - if it weren't for the curse of the other party, she even had a chance to become a princess.

But even so, she used her status as a prince to blend in with Avalon's high-ranking circles. Relying on her down-to-earth and generous posture and profound knowledge, she soon became the darling of the social circle. At that time she was already the vice president of Lloyd's.

Tommy realizes that he can't compete with her. And once the ritual of the "Sons of the Serpent" ends, the potential of one's path will be drained.

So after he had planned, he completed a murder by studying the ritual. He cursed his sister into a zoophilia, causing her to mate with a bull and be accidentally discovered. And she chose to commit suicide after that.

But she actually failed to commit suicide - Tommy disguised herself as her corpse with another female corpse. He raped and sacrificed "Rovita", using her and his two brothers as sacrifices to summon the Labyrinth.

His father didn't realize that this was Tommy's doing, so he gave him the name Lloyd's. In order to prevent him from reacting, Tommy dragged his father into the labyrinth and starved to death.

At the time, the inspector also suspected him, but no evidence was found.

Because their bodies are either in the labyrinth of labyrinths or melted by stepping into dreams. Their bodies are not in the material realm at all, and they are not even dead in the material realm.

Then, Tommy, who was only sixteen years old at the time, was smart enough to realize that he needed to improve the chain of evidence in order to clear his suspicions.

So he disguised evidence that his two younger brothers had stolen their property, bought tickets, killed their older siblings, and seriously injured him. After Tommy is willing to pay the price of being hit six times in the body by a pistol, the disappearance of the two younger brothers becomes very reasonable.

As for the slain brothers and sisters - that, of course, he did it himself.

He didn't think he was at fault.

The ritual of the sons of the serpent itself allows and even encourages killing each other, and it is the laws of Avalon that do not allow. So he both completed the ritual and circumvented the law.

As for killing people -

He's not human anyway. Tommy was calm about it.

The first time he killed, he didn't feel any discomfort, even excitement and excitement — and he comforted himself that since those people saw him as a giant, he had no problem killing.

It is because of this excitement that he sometimes wanders the night in Lloyd's, hunting down people who dare to wander the streets of Lloyd's in the middle of the night, and making them into ritual materials...... Then curse those you want to kill during the day. It wasn't until he got taller and taller, surpassing the usual height of humans, that he stopped wandering.

He was almost discovered at the time, but fortunately there was an additional "Jack the Ripper" later. He also generously accepted the crimes he had committed.

Later, Tommy is targeted by the Noble Red Society.

Speaking of noble red......

Tommy suddenly frowned.

…… Speaking of which, has the Inspectorate prepared a curse countermeasure for itself?

If he betrays the noble red, the other party will probably come and curse him. They could easily get their hands on his hair, and they could curse him even if they didn't know where he was.

In that case, his list of deals would have to include "having a priest accompany him for protection." If he is cursed, let him dispel it in time...... From this point of view, perhaps it would be better to ask for a female pastor.

And at this moment, he suddenly heard the faint sound of footsteps.

This made his stagnant mind come alive in an instant.

A second person appeared in the little dark room, and his first reaction was joy—but immediately after, he felt alert.

Why didn't the other party turn on the lights?

Why did he just approach and not say a word?

Tommy closed his mouth vigilantly, rolled over and sat up, his muscles tense. Although he could not use the power of the path, his body was still healthy. He surrendered in time and was not injured. Even if someone shoots him with a firearm, he can use the giant's strong muscles to hold the bullet to survive.

"—Lord Tommy Lloyd."

A low, hoarse voice rang out: "Really? ”

“…… It's me. ”

Tommy asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" ”

The next moment, Tommy saw a flash of red light.

It was the ring he was familiar with, "Noble Red".

Did they come to my rescue?

…… No, it's not.

"You're here to kill me."

Tommy sat on the bed and replied affirmatively, "That's Aless, who are you?" If you're going to kill me, at least let me hear your true voice. ”

After a brief silence, a soft, sweet, honey-like female voice rang out: "Yes, I will kill you."

"—because you betrayed the noble red."

As her words fell, Tommy's whole body was pierced by the shadow demon. But he didn't let out a roar of pain because something was wrapped around his neck.

And at this time, he wrote on the bed with his own blood: "Arest", "woman", "noble red".

- I'm dead, don't think about it.

Tommy thought hatefully.
