Chapter 33 Then Let You Speak

To avoid causing chaos, Key ordered the attack to be blocked.

After catching several hidden spies, the inner castle quickly returned to its former state and operated smoothly as usual.

As for the Black Sword Knight, after receiving some treatment and barely surviving his life, he was thrown into prison and tortured.

However, after two consecutive days, no valuable information was extracted from him.

"That guy must have received anti-torture training. No matter how we tortured him, he refused to speak."

In the meeting room, Brad reported the results of the interrogation over the past two days.

"If you ask me, I'd just crush his bones one by one. I don't believe he can endure it." Jordan sneered.

Brad shook his head and said, "It's useless. He seems to have mastered some method to isolate himself from pain. He didn't react at all when we tortured him."

"Is there such a method?" Qiao Dun widened his eyes in shock.

The other knights looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard this.

How can I torture you like this?

Keyi frowned, turned to look at Sunan who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Sunan, do you have any good ideas?"

Su Nan nodded and said, "Leave it to me to interrogate."

When they heard that Su Nan seemed to have a solution, everyone was immediately cheered up.

Under the guidance of Brad and Jordan, Sunan came to the prison where the Black Sword Knight was imprisoned.

When he stepped into the cell, what he saw was the Black Sword Knight, whose limbs were tied tightly to iron pillars with chains, and who looked extremely miserable.

There were still scorch marks on his body from the lightning rune gem, and after the torture over the past two days, there was hardly a single piece of intact skin or flesh on his body.

But even so, he still didn't look like he was in any pain.

When he saw Su Nan coming in, his expression changed slightly, and then he sneered with disdain.

"Don't waste your energy. Don't even think about getting any information out of me. Kill me if you dare!"

Su Nan said calmly: "If you really want to die, there are many ways to commit suicide. Why do you have to live until now?"

These words obviously touched the Black Sword Knight's sore spot. The corner of his eye twitched violently, and he snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Sunan didn't care at all and walked up to the Black Sword Knight with a calm expression.

"Since torture doesn't work on you, let you speak for yourself."

After hearing this, the Black Sword Knight looked even more disdainful, and was about to sneer at the other party, but the moment he met Su Nan's gaze, his whole body trembled suddenly. He felt that the other party's eyes were like a deep pool, and he even had the illusion that his soul was about to be sucked in.

In just a few seconds, the Black Sword Knight's face became dull and his eyes were lifeless, as if he was sleepwalking.

"Name." Su Nan spoke slowly.

"Uri Elric." The Black Sword Knight answered with a dull look.

"age."

"Thirty-two."

Brad and Jordan, who were following behind Sunan, were already dumbfounded.

what happened?

How come this guy suddenly became so well-behaved and answered everything I asked?
The two soon noticed that there was something wrong with the Black Sword Knight's expression, and they vaguely realized that Lord Sunan might have used that strange power called magic again.

I just didn't expect that there is such a spell in this world that can make people lose their minds and answer questions obediently!
In the face of such power, wouldn't anyone have no secrets?
Brad and Jordan took a deep breath and looked at Sunan's back with more awe.

Sunan didn't notice the small movements of the two people behind him, and his eyes were directly on the Black Sword Knight.

The charm person spell can influence the recipient's cognition to a certain extent, making the other party regard you as a reliable partner.

The caster can give orders to the subject to make him do something he would not do otherwise.

However, commands such as suicide or self-mutilation that are obviously harmful to oneself and will threaten one's life safety are likely to fail, resulting in the termination of the spell effect.

But if you just want to ask for some information, the spell of charm human is still very useful.

"Who sent you to assassinate the Lord of Black Stone City?"

"It's Priest Casper." Priest?

Su Nan raised his eyebrows: "What are your origins?"

"We belong to the Spark Cult and believe in the great Star God who created this continent!"

Speaking of the Star God, even though he was under the influence of magic, the Black Sword Knight still showed a bit of fanaticism on his dull face, which shows how deep his belief in the so-called Star God is.

Spark religion?
Sunan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that these killers were from the Spark Cult that attacked Earl Storm.

"What is your relationship with Marquis Jinyan?"

"I don't know." The Black Sword Knight shook his head dully.
Su Nan frowned slightly. It was a foregone conclusion that Marquis Jin Yan had connections with the Xinghuo Cult.

Since this guy doesn't know, it means that the person responsible for contacting Marquis Jinyan should be a higher-level member of the Spark Cult.

"How many companions do you have in Black Rock City?"

"There are four of us including me."

"Tell me the list of spies you know."

The Black Sword Knight said six or seven names in one breath.

Several of them were the spies who were caught in the past two days.

Without Sunan's instructions, Brad consciously memorized the names and hiding places of these people, and then he and Jordan left the prison and rushed to catch them.

Sunan then inquired about the organizational structure, strongholds and branches, and member status of the Xinghuo Sect.

According to the Black Sword Knight's description, the Spark Cult is a sect that believes in the Star God and is dedicated to spreading the Star God's great glory throughout the continent.

They secretly cooperated with many nobles, assassinating their competitors for the nobles in exchange for their support. With the help of these nobles' power, they continued to expand their sect, and in just over a decade, they had spread their tentacles throughout the Principality of the Stars.

As for which nobles he had cooperated with, the Black Sword Knight didn't know much. They were all nobles at the baron and viscount level.

Noble collaborators of higher status were beyond the reach of members of his level.

After all, above the priests, there are priests, chief priests, high priests and the Pope who controls the entire sect.

"The Grand Knights are only mid-level cadres. It seems that the Spark Cult has a very strong foundation."

Su Nan pondered silently.

He had previously guessed that the Spark Cult might be related to the wizard apprentice, but now it seems that he was wrong.

The Spark Cult's obvious religious belief is completely different from the wizards who pursue truth and take all the power for themselves.

As for the strongholds, the Black Sword Knight didn't know much, only that there were three strongholds located in the Golden Rock Province.

As for other provinces, I have no idea.

After secretly keeping in mind the personnel structure of these strongholds mentioned by the Black Sword Knight, Sunan then asked about the actions of the Spark Cult in Jinyan Province in recent years.

The result is that you don’t know if you don’t ask, but you will be shocked if you ask.

It turns out that the seven or eight nobles who died in Jinyan Province in the past ten years were all caused by the Xinghuo Cult.

They killed these nobles by creating various unexpected coincidences, disguising them as accidental deaths or deaths from illness.

If it's more difficult, just assassinate him directly.

Among them was Su Nan’s cheap father.

He seemed to have died on the battlefield, but in fact, before the war broke out, the Spark Cult sent someone to disguise himself and replace one of his guards, and then secretly attacked him on the battlefield, causing him to die at the hands of the enemy.

Although the Black Sword Knight was not clear about the real purpose behind this series of assassinations, Sunan could guess with his toes that the mastermind behind the scenes must be Marquis Jin Yan.

Kill the vassal nobles, then support the puppet to take power, and indirectly achieve the goal of controlling their territory.

The ultimate goal of Marquis Jinyan is to completely control the entire Jinyan Province.

No, maybe this is not the ultimate goal.

Just to gain complete control over the Jinyan Province, there is no need to go to this extent.

Marquis Jinyan might have a deeper purpose!
