The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"It is said that one of our bishops likes to dress as a woman, but of course I have only heard about it and have never dared to say it out loud."

"A while ago, a new word, 'underworld,' suddenly became popular. It can be used to describe both cards and people. Several card makers in our association were furious about this word, but... the reason they were angry seems to be that they were pointed out as 'not underworld enough' compared to a certain real underworld card maker."

......

As he listened to the prisoner's confession, Dekan remained calm and nodded repeatedly.

Although the information that followed gradually became less informative.

But since someone has mentioned it, he'll listen to it anyway.

"Teacher, have you ever heard of a spell that can forcibly enslave an enemy?"

Dekan sent a thought to call upon his master.

"I've heard of similar spells in a certain shadow world, but these sealing spells and contract spells have very high restrictions."

The master quickly answered Dekan's question.

Moreover, his tone was gentler than usual.

The last time Dekan was so humble in seeking knowledge was back at the Demon Academy.

"For example, do you need the other person's real name, race, or something like that?"

"Yes, for example, the most crucial step in sealing the immortal vampire progenitor in that world was to declare his true name."

"I think I understand now, thank you, Master."

Dekan felt he had a pretty good idea of ​​the card's general effect.

However, the specific mechanism and judgment details are uncertain.

It is indeed an excessive spell card.

Such forced, thorough, and permanent enslavement is more terrifying than any form of torture.

If Princess Ice Snow is indeed captured by the Church of Resurrection, then an extremely tragic fate awaits her.

of course.

If Dekan was previously abducted on the magic airship.

Then Dekan would become the alternative card maker to bear the burden of this enslavement spell card.

This tragic fate may also belong to Dekan.

"hehe."

Dekan couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the Church of Resurrection's scheme.

This is daring to challenge the very authority of the gods.

In addition, doesn't this seventh-tier epic spell card seem to have a fatal weakness?

To use it successfully, you must understand some key aspects of the goal statement—

For example, the target's name, race, and gender.

So......

Dekan silently took out one of his cards, lost in thought.

Isn't this epic spell supposed to be single-target defended by [My Silence Spell]?

How can you make a declaration if you can't even speak?

109 Dekan is about to become the sixth child again.

Having extracted information from this prisoner, Dekan prepared to deceive another prisoner.

If the two prisoners' confessions are largely accurate, then the intelligence is probably correct.

Of course, just to be on the safe side.

We can also use the "Little Sunflower Mom Truth Revealer" that he co-produced with Mir to verify it tomorrow.

However, this medicine is only highly effective when the enemy's spirit is severely weakened by torture.

Otherwise, the enemy could also use their willpower to forcibly resist the hallucinatory effects of the drug.

“Brother Lampard, I’ll give you two doses of the potion when I get back later. Please have someone interrogate these two prisoners again.”

Dekan looked at the lord and said.

"Okay, no problem."

Lord Viscount Lampard nodded solemnly.

Originally, neither Dekan nor the lord had any intention of conducting an illegal interrogation.

But now we've reached this point.

Even if it means completely ignoring the rules and regulations for dealing with serious criminals and prisoners.

They also need to thoroughly investigate this matter.

As for Dekan's promise that "prisoners will no longer be tortured."

indeed.

Tomorrow's trial isn't going to be Dekan's.

His only responsibility was to hand the potion over to the lord, who would then send someone to interrogate him.

"By the way, what is this medicine? How do I use it?"

The lord suddenly asked.

Dekan: "Ah, it's called Little Sunflower Mother's Truth Potion. The child always doesn't tell the truth, so a beating will fix it. Tomorrow, have someone come and beat these two prisoners until they're delirious, then we can inject them with the potion and start the interrogation."

Lord: "..."

He was reluctant to comment on the medicines produced by Dekan.

So you consider this pediatric medicine?

The lord even felt that the fact that Dekan hadn't been imprisoned meant that the laws of the Kingdom of Norton were too lenient.

Before long, the lord, at Dekan's request, took him to the place where another prisoner was being held.

The lord's face was ashen the whole way.

He couldn't wait to rush back to the lord's manor that very night and use communication magic to request help from the capital.

But his reason told him that he needed to confirm and verify things first.

Otherwise, it would be hard for the capital to believe it.

After all, this is just too absurd!

Whether it's the mysterious plan to kidnap an eighth-tier top-level card maker, or that seventh-tier epic spell with an unclear effect!

The outcome was as expected after the interrogation.

Aside from some irrelevant casual remarks, their statements were basically the same.

The Church of Resurrection definitely wants that epic spell card with an unclear effect to enslave the Ice Princess!

"What should I do? What should I do, Dekan?"

The lord stamped his feet anxiously and paced back and forth.

It seems she doesn't know how to explain this to the king.

Now he only has Dekan to rely on.

After all, all this intelligence was obtained by Dekan.

Only Dekan could fully understand the lord's predicament.

Dekan's expression, however, remained unchanged; he rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

"Don't worry, there's no need to panic."

Dekan smiled at the lord.

They seem completely unconcerned about the upcoming major moves by the Church of Resurrection.

Lord: "If we don't go to the capital for help soon, it might be too late!"

Dekan: "No need to look for the capital."

The lord said somewhat excitedly, "I must ask the capital for help! Lady Ice Princess must not be harmed in any way!"

If the Church of Resurrection is confident that it can abduct the Ice Princess while Tristine City is fully prepared, then the city's defenses will certainly be unable to stop the Church of Resurrection's forces from launching a surprise attack!

The lord felt as if a sword was hanging over his head.

The Church of Resurrection could strike at his doorstep at any time.

It could happen as soon as now, or at the latest within a week.

In any case, according to the confession, the arrest plan will be carried out in the next few days.

The lord was also aware of the importance of the Ice Princess to the Kingdom of Norton, and how much harm it would bring to the world if she were enslaved by the Church of Resurrection!

In the worst-case scenario, besides the capture of the Ice Princess, the people of Tristan City also suffered ruthless oppression.

As the lord, he could not stand idly by and watch these things happen.

Dekan placed a hand on the lord's shoulder and said:

"If you rashly ask the capital for help, you will alert the enemy and cause us to lose the advantage we have worked so hard to build in terms of intelligence."

"After the three hijackers went missing, the Church of Resurrection should have been in a state of paranoia, fearing that the captives would reveal crucial information."

"The Church of Resurrection has a more comprehensive intelligence network in the capital than you imagine. If you choose to request emergency assistance, they will detect the anomaly immediately and begin their operation ahead of time. The reinforcements from the capital may have already achieved their goal and captured the Ice Princess while they are still en route."

"Give me some time to prepare. I guarantee the Church of Resurrection's plan will fail, and I will find a way to minimize the damage to the city and its inhabitants."

After Dekan finished speaking, he released his hand from the lord's shoulder.

The lord looked at Dekan with a complex expression on his face.

He thought Dekan made sense, after all, Dekan could claim to be an expert in dealing with the Resurrected.
