The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

No living creature on earth could withstand their interrogation!

"No, impossible, Chloex can't be here!"

The prisoner quickly retreated a few steps, until he could retreat no further, and shouted while leaning against the wall.

Compared to before, his words had completely lost their sharpness, leaving only endless fear.

Dekan gripped the iron bars, staring at the prisoner as if he were about to stick his head into the cell, a cryptic grin on his face, and whispered:

"Your companion has confessed; your target is the Ice Princess..."

Upon hearing this...

The prisoner's expression finally changed dramatically, as if the sky had fallen and the earth had split open.

His eyes were fixed on Dekan, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

"Do you know how we got him to talk? He was just as stubborn as you were at first."

"It's a pity that he can't speak for the time being. Chloeux is trying to wake him up."

"So you still have a chance to skip all the suffering your companion has endured."

"Confess now, and I promise you'll be spared further torture. Besides, you can actually be treated well in prison, like better rooms and delicious meals every day, right?"

"Of course. You only have the chance to confess to me now. Once your companion regains consciousness, you'll be useless."

After coldly uttering this last sentence, Dekan remained silent, waiting for the prisoner to make his choice.

The prisoner's teeth chattered, and his eyes gradually became vacant.

"I...I confess..."

Without much hesitation, the prisoner answered in this way.

A satisfied smile curved the corners of Dekan's lips.

There's no Chloeux here.

Dekan had no idea that their target was the Ice Princess.

One relies on deception, and the other on guessing.

Two easy steps to subdue the prisoner.

Well, if all else fails, we'll still have to get Chloeux over. Anyway, Chloeux should be here by tomorrow at the earliest.

As for the conclusion that "the target is the Ice Princess," Dekan was just taking a chance.

After all, Dekan learned from his informant, Ullora, that "the Church of Resurrection's target is related to Tristine Academy."

Apart from having an eighth-level master card maker, Tristine Academy doesn't really have anything special that would warrant such a big fuss from the Church of Resurrection.

Therefore, the goal of the resurrected church.

Either the academy hides some treasure, seals away some evil being, or it's related to the Ice Princess.

Only these two storylines are relatively common.

So Dekan tried it out, just to fool the prisoners.

Since there are two prisoners, we can each try once.

Observe the prisoner's reaction.

I was right after all.

108 Dekan inadvertently discovered a natural counter-relationship.

The lord listened intently to the conversation between Dekan and the prisoner.

His heart was in turmoil, but he dared not show it on his face.

No wonder Dekan had given him these instructions on the way here—

No matter what information you get from the interrogation, you must manage your facial expressions.

The lord knew that Dekan was deceiving the prisoners.

But he didn't expect that Dekan would get such an absurd answer right from the start.

And it turned out he actually guessed right?

The Church of Resurrection is eyeing the Ice Princess?

How dare they!

The lord suddenly became anxious and uneasy.

While obtaining crucial information during interrogation is certainly a good thing, the problem is that it could lead to serious trouble.

The Church of Resurrection must have some basis for its confidence to dare to plan this.

The key question now is what level the resurrected church should reach.

If they were trying to steal Ice Princess's cards, that would be fine.

Nothing too serious will happen.

If we're going to be a bit bolder, let's guess...

What if the Church of Resurrection tries to steal one of Ice Princess's masterpieces?

Then the safety of the city-state could very well be seriously threatened.

While the lord pondered, the prisoners of the Church of Resurrection began to confess.

The prisoner looked at Dekan honestly and said:

"Actually, the three of us who came to kidnap you were unaware of the specific plans for kidnapping Ice Princess."

Upon hearing this, the lord immediately turned around and quickly walked out of the prisoner's line of sight.

This time, the lord really couldn't control his expression; he could no longer remain calm.

Kidnapping the Snow Princess?!

What kind of international joke is this?

Do you, the Resurrection Church, intend to raze Tristan to the ground?

The lord felt a chill run down his spine.

Cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

However, the lord noticed that Dekan, standing before the prisoner, remained completely calm.

They seemed completely unsurprised by this.

The lord couldn't help but marvel at how the young man's on-the-spot performance and mentality were indeed as frighteningly stable as his performance in the film world.

"..."

Even Dekan remained silent for a fraction of a second.

He couldn't help but start complaining in his mind.

Ah Fu, you guys are really impressive!

This was the first time Dekan felt he had underestimated the Church of Resurrection.

Regardless of whether the Church of Resurrection's plan is realistic or successful, let's set aside the question of its feasibility and success.

For the Resurrected Cult, a bunch of cowards who only know how to play dirty tricks, this is already quite courageous.

Dekan even wanted to give them a little red flower.

"What is your purpose in arresting her?"

"Dekan asked."

"...Of course, we want her to keep making cards for us without ever stopping, as long as she's not exhausted."

The prisoner thought Dekan's question was utter nonsense.

If you capture an eighth-tier card maker and don't let her create cards at a high intensity, are you suggesting she wash vegetables and cook?

Anyone with a normal mind should be able to figure this out easily.

However, the prisoner, thinking that this might be a test from Dekan, answered honestly.

Dekan nodded upon hearing this.

He thought the Church of Resurrection wanted to capture Ice Princess to be her maid.

I didn't expect it to be a card-making trip.

It seems the Church of Resurrection is still as vulgar as ever.

"Yes, tell me everything you know, no matter how small or big the information is, start with the important ones."

Dekan instructed.

Then, he stared at the prisoner without changing his expression and said nothing.

His eyes were neither fierce nor gentle.

However, this appeared to the prisoners as an extremely terrifying situation.

Because terrorists in this state are the quickest to turn on you.

He might only have to say one wrong word, and Dekan could immediately become his worst nightmare.

"...It is said that there is an epic spell card obtained from the Shadow World that can be used to capture the Ice Princess, but we do not know the specific effects yet."

"It was only after we got this card that we had the plan to capture the Ice Princess. I imagine its effect is to forcibly enslave the enemy under certain conditions."

"And His Holiness the Cardinal sent a trusted confidant as the key figure in the entire mission..."

......

"Recently, the church put in a lot of effort to investigate the Ice Princess's name, race, and even tried to determine her gender. Although she is indeed flat-chested, the extent of their intelligence gathering is quite perplexing..."

......

"The Church of Resurrection has experienced a deficit for the first time this year. It was not until the annual accounting was conducted a few days ago that internal problems were discovered. His Holiness the Pope was furious, but the whereabouts of the funds have not yet been found."
