Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Confident Vanessa
"What kind of trick is this!" With one last thought, Leo's eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground, and even his consciousness was temporarily closed.
"Well, there aren't any interrogation tools here, so I'll take him back to the black prison first. I hope you can get back to the castle, girl, and that nothing happens again. Vanessa glanced at Isa, dragged Leo's leg with her hand, and turned to leave.
Seeing that the other party was about to disappear into the night, Isha finally came back from her surprise, the black prison imprisoned many extremely vicious and inconvenient to execute guys, and even many evil races, and even if they could get out, they had to take off a layer of skin.
The girl shouted at the highest volume she could, "My lord, Leo is not a spy!"
"It's noisy. Ronse slapped the back of the girl's neck and beckoned to his companion, "Let's go, there's nothing for us here." ”
Hakka scratched his head, as if he didn't understand what was going on, but he also understood his duty, so he asked, "Captain, what about these two corpses?"
"I'll talk about it tomorrow, his grandmother's, Lao Tzu's roasted Nuosen leg of lamb hasn't been eaten yet, and it's time to cool it now. Ronse shook his head impatiently, picked up the unconscious Isa, and walked in the direction of the castle.
..................
In the dark room, Leo gradually regained consciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself in a strange position, tied to a chair half a meter high.
Leaning back, one leg is suspended, arms twisted behind the back, muscles cannot be fully exerted, but you must always maintain tension and maintain balance. In just a moment, he was already covered in sweat and trembling uncontrollably.
Vanessa, not far away, sat steadily, polishing her nails with a sharp dagger.
Noticing that Leo had woken up, she sneered: "Boy, since you are awake, now the interrogation has officially begun. The first item, twisting the wooden chair, lasts for an hour. If you want to confess, you can always let me know. If you don't want to, then every hour, you will change the trick. By the way, don't rush to confess just yet, I'd love to know how long you can last. The longest record here is 3 hours and 12 minutes, and with the training you're receiving, it's very likely to break the record. ”
"This woman is definitely a **!" Leo said in his heart, forcibly suppressing the soreness in his muscles, and asked, "My lord, what will happen if I confess?"
Hearing Leo's question, Vanessa showed a smug smile, "It's hard to say, the handling of the spies will be directly ordered by the Earl." ”
Leo sighed and said, "You didn't even check it out, did you decide that I was a spy?"
"Boy, I'm really getting more and more curious, which family can cultivate such a good little spy as you. In the current situation, I can still keep my heartbeat without changing, I almost have to believe you. Vanessa looked at Leo with burning eyes and continued, "Interesting, you really didn't disappoint me. But I trust my own eyes and judgment. ”
Leo had understood that this woman had an unusually sharp sense of insight and a confidence that was so strong that it was conceited. For this kind of person, there is no way to persuade with words, and there is no evidence on him that can prove his innocence.
"It seems that it is useless to say anything now, so it is better to confess. Since it was the Earl who gave the order, I should not be executed directly, and if I see the Earl, maybe there is a chance to turn around, after all, I am not a spy. ”
Leo didn't want to be hung in the air any longer, this posture was really not something that normal people could bear. Just as he was about to open his mouth to confess, the badge on his chest suddenly vibrate.
Vanessa not only did not stop her, but her face was excited, the reason why she went to great lengths to get Leo back to the black prison was waiting for this moment.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Leo didn't dare to say more, after all, his life was in the hands of others.
The vibration of the badge continued, and it was clear that Master Byron had something urgent to find Leo.
Three minutes later, a violent magical force suddenly rippled through the room, and a void crack gradually formed.
"Is this teleportation magic?" Leo looked at the void rift, even forgetting his identity as a prisoner, full of curiosity.
Before Master Byron arrived, his voice had already come out: "Leo, why did you run around, don't you know the rules? Now tell me how that magnifying glass is made?"
Seeing the old mage stepping out of the crack, Vanessa stepped forward, saluted slightly, and said, "Master Byron, you can count on it." ”
The old mage immediately noticed the scene inside the house, was stunned for a moment, and said strangely, "What are you doing here? Damn, Vanessa, how can you capture my full-time servant to play such a nasty game!"
The other party obviously misunderstood, but Vanessa didn't care at all, shook the dagger in her hand with a peach blossom face, and said charmingly: "No, if you want to play games, I will also find some strong ones." I've caught a spy for you, and in return, you may have to re-enchant my Teeth of Myris. ”
"Spies?" the old mage looked at Vanessa in amazement, and then fell on Leo in surprise, "You say he's a spy?"
Vanessa nodded, "Yes, a magician little scumbag, I suspect he might want to steal the family's bloodline essence recipe." ”
"What the hell is going on?" the old mage's eyebrows almost tangled together.
Vanessa spoke quite conveniently, and in just a few words, she told Byron what had happened.
The old mage immediately remembered the crystal seed and magnifying glass proposed by Leo, and this kid was quite good at his work, and he was by no means like an ordinary inferior servant, and he was indeed full of suspicions.
"Damn, this kid is a spy! I'm too careless to ask which family sent it?" asked the old mage.
"Nope. Vanessa slapped the dagger in her palm, "If you're interested, you can wait here for a while, I think I'll be able to tell him the truth soon." ”
Byron thought for a moment and agreed, "Well, then you should hurry up, I don't have much time." ”
Seeing Vanessa casually take out a few terrifying tools, Leo's heart jumped, he gritted his teeth, and decided to block it again. If you win, you may be able to turn over, and if you lose...... He had nothing to lose anyway.
He looked into Byron's eyes without fear, sorted out his words, and said quickly: "Master, I am really not a spy, I learned magic by myself. You are a mage who has spent your life in pursuit of the truth, can you conclude that I am a spy based on a little guess?"
"This ......," Byron hesitated. If a month ago, he might not have cared at all about what Leo said. But now, if you have any hope of being a Magister, you really shouldn't be like the Assassins who play with dark arts.
With a somewhat embarrassed cough, the old mage said, "Boy, then I'll give you a chance to defend yourself." Tell me, how did you learn magic?"
"There's a chance!"
Leo hurriedly said, "You allowed me to go to the library to read the book, there happened to be a "Beginner Meditation Guide", I followed along, and I learned it. ”
The old mage questioned, "It's only been a few days before you can start meditating and casting magic?"
"Yes. Leo replied quite seriously.
Seeing Leo's unashamed affirmation, the old mage suddenly felt that he had been played, and laughed angrily: "Boy, do you think I am an idiot? This is simply impossible! Not to mention that it takes at least a month of training to successfully start meditation, even a slightly simpler spell model, it is impossible to memorize it so quickly!"
"Well, could it be that I'm moving too fast? Leo was a little speechless.
Under the angry glare of the old mage, he suddenly had an idea, and according to the "Introduction to the Theory of Magical Mathematics" in his mind, he recited: "My generation mage, you should specialize in mathematics, and on this basis, understand the mysteries of the world......
The old mage taught three students every day, and naturally heard that Derio was reciting "Introduction to the Theory of Magical Mathematics", and couldn't help but be surprised: "Boy, you are ......"
Leo didn't reply, until he finished memorizing the prologue of hundreds of words, and then explained: "Master, I have some special abilities, as long as I read the books, I can remember them, so learning magic is quite smooth." ”
"Never forget?" the old mage opened his mouth wide with disbelief.
Leo smiled, trying to make his voice as real and believable, "That's true. ”
As soon as Vanessa saw that things were about to change, she hurriedly said, "Master, it is likely that he has memorized this book before. ”
"This woman is so annoying!" Leo scolded secretly, but his heart was much calmer, and he said leisurely: "Vanessa-sama, if you don't believe me, you can take a random book and let me try it." ”
Before Vanessa could say anything, the old mage was already excited. There are indeed some geniuses in this world who can never forget. It's just that there are too few people like this, and he has only seen a few people, if Leo really has this ability, then it is not impossible to learn magic in a short time.
Thinking of this, the old mage said to Vanessa with some eagerness, "Do you have a book here?"
Vanessa's face suddenly became quite ugly, "I don't have ...... here"
The old mage was naturally unwilling, looked left and right, pointed to an account book on the table next to him, and asked, "What is that?"
Vanessa, as a level 4 assassin, has excellent combat talent, and with the support of some people, she has a high status in the castle, but compared to the old mage, she has to tell the truth: "That's the list of prisoners." ”
"Just let him see this!" said the old mage.
"This ...... Well, that's a castle secret. ”
"I'll take care of it!" the old mage glared at Vanessa, regardless of whether she agreed or not, and with a gesture of his hand, the roster had already flown over.
Opening the first page and holding it up to Leo, the old mage said, "Boy, just nod when you write it down, and I'll turn the next page." ”
"No problem. Leo replied as he asked the professor to turn on the assistive memory module.
