Shut up, I don't want to have children with you anymore.

Leon thought for a moment and asked, "Your mother used that kind of magic that could detect the memories of prisoners before. Can you use it?"

The three sisters looked at each other and shook their heads in tacit understanding.

"You haven't learned such a useful magic?"

"You learned it?"

"I didn't learn it either, hehe - oh shit!"

Noah raised her hand and elbowed her father.

I dreamed about the days when I flirted with the mother dragon...

"So what should we do now? Torture is useless, and no one knows how to detect memory magic. Are we just going to wait and see?"

Orrola said, "The Sharp Knife Trio went to the manor and didn't see Nacho. They should immediately notify the Empire to launch a search operation. We don't have much time, so we must act quickly."

But even though we had to do it as soon as possible, there was no good way to get those two guys to talk at the moment.

After thinking for a moment, Leon suddenly spoke,

"You guys know... the prisoner's dilemma?"

......

Leon opened the door of the storage room and Nacho was the only one in the room.

His hands and feet were tied and he couldn't move.

Seeing that the person who opened the door was Leon, Nacho snorted coldly.

"You monster... why can't you just stay in the pipe... it's been twenty years, why are you still coming out?"

Nacho has regained his composure at this moment.

Regardless of whether Leon was resurrected or for some other reason, he did cause trouble for Nacho.

But Nacho did not live these twenty years in vain.

He looked at Leon and said slowly,

"Ah... Anyway, I've fallen into your hands. But... Even so, the current situation is quite troublesome for you, right?"

Leon stood in front of him, looked into his eyes, and remained silent.

"You were eager to kidnap me in order to get information about the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale from me, so that thing is very important to you, right? But you don't have much time, otherwise you won't risk offending the royal family."

"If you can't get the information you want from me, then even if you kill me, your plan will remain at a standstill and will attract the attention of the empire."

"The Silver Dragon Clan has been disbanded, Casmode. You don't have any backup. If you fail, you will face a fate even more tragic than mine now. Am I right?"

Twenty years of official career has taught Nacho some skills in gambling.

If both sides have chips in their hands, don't rush to admit defeat.

He looked at Leon proudly, as if he was showing off his current self to this guy who could never be killed.

"Well, you're right."

Nacho was stunned. He didn't expect Leon to admit it so easily.

Nacho pursed his lips, intending to continue analyzing the current situation, laying out all the unfavorable conditions for Leon and putting severe pressure on him.

He just likes the feeling that others dislike him but can't get rid of him.

Until Leon took out the table knife he had just used in the restaurant from his pocket.

Nacho panicked and swallowed subconsciously, "What are you going to do... You can't kill me, you don't dare to kill me, I am a member of the royal family, and I have the information you want. If you kill me, you will never know where the heart-protecting dragon scale is!"

"And, and! - After this, you will not be able to successfully capture anyone who knows this information. The empire now will immediately be on alert at the slightest sign of trouble."

"No matter how strong you are, you can't catch a member of the royal family in a dragnet!"

Leon rubbed the Zanzhu acupoint impatiently, “Are you done?”

"..."

"Your adjutant Scott has just told me the location of the heart-protecting dragon scale. So..."

Leon shrugged with pretended regret, "You are of no use to me now."

As he spoke, Leon shook the table knife in his hand.

The blade shone with a cold light, shining in Nacho's eyes.

"No, that's impossible, Leon, you are cheating me."

Nacho suppressed his anger and fear, "Scott would never betray the Empire."

"I don't know whether he will betray the empire, but he betrayed you ten minutes ago. My people have knocked him out and sent him away. When he wakes up, we will leave the empire. As for you..."

Leon stretched out his knife and patted Nacho's face. "Think about it, if you die, who will take your place?"

This sentence was like a fuse, completely igniting all the emotions in Nacho's heart.

He struggled violently, but his hands and feet were tied so tightly that he could not move at all.

Seeing Nacho's intense reaction, Leon laughed in his heart.

Sure enough, this old guy has climbed to his current position and has long been trapped in the wonderful quagmire of power and unable to extricate himself.

The master is right, these officials are all the same.

"Okay, be honest. The more you move, the less accurate my knife will be. Then you die in pain and I will blame myself." Leon said slowly, and he almost had the word "hypocritical" written on his face.

As he finished speaking, the knife slowly moved towards Nacho's carotid artery.

The blade slowly cut into the skin, blood seeping out.

"Wait a minute!" Nacho suddenly shouted.

"how?"

"Scott...what did Scott tell you?"

"Don't worry about it. Anyway, by this time tomorrow, I will probably have left the empire with the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale in my hand. Well, you probably won't get to see that scene. What a pity."

The knife continued to move slowly downwards.

"Scott only knows where the dragon scales are stored! He doesn't know the shift change times and secret codes for those positions!"

Fueled by fear and rage, Nacho decides to use intelligence to save his life and position.

If it was just a simple death, Nacho wouldn't be afraid.

From the moment he took power, he knew that this day might come.

But Nacho could not accept that the status and power he had worked hard for twenty years was taken away by Scott.

Absolutely, unacceptable.

"Oh? This is betraying the empire. Aren't you afraid of being discovered later?" Leon asked slowly.

"Just put the blame on Scott," Nacho said.

Hearing this, Leon raised his eyebrows. He understood the meaning of this sentence. "Yes, sometimes the dead are more useful than the living, because the dead can't speak."

As a classic scapegoat who believes that "dead people are more useful than living people", General Lai has a deep understanding of this.

He took out a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket and threw them in front of Nacho. "Write down everything you know about the Heart Guardian Dragon Scale. If it doesn't match the information Scott just provided, I will kill you all."

Nacho picked up the pen with difficulty with his bound hands and began to write quickly.

He didn't notice at all that General Lai's mouth was almost unable to suppress the smile.

Ten minutes later, Leon walked out of the storage room, and coincidentally, Noa also walked out of the storage room next to it.

The father and daughter looked at each other, and they both saw two words on each other's faces:

Become!

"Wow! It actually works~" Mu En once again turned into her dad's little fan girl and did not hesitate to give her praise.

It was also the first time that Orrola had seen such an interrogation method, which was entirely based on extracting information through words.

"If two or more prisoners are captured, the prisoner's dilemma is almost an unsolvable interrogation method."

Leon explained,

"Faced with the prisoner's dilemma, Nacho and Scott have only two choices: remain silent or betray each other."

“But they can’t communicate directly with each other.”

"So, is it to use silence to protect your companions, or to use betrayal to protect everything you have... humph, who knows."

"But no matter what choice we make, the initiative is in our hands. As long as we use some interrogation techniques, it will be easy to get information out."

Mu En let out a long "Oh", "Great!"

Although I don't understand it very well, my father still (ii) Lin Yanwu⊙⑨ (iii) Liu Jiuqun Chat is so good!

Leon and Noah checked the information provided by the two people and found that the location of the heart-protecting dragon scales was exactly the same.

"So what do we do with them?" Noah asked.

"Knock him out and keep him here temporarily as a hostage."

Leon said, "Because we don't know if there will be other troubles in the future, it's always a good thing to have hostages as bargaining chips. And even if the Empire doesn't care about their lives and plans to fight to the death, we still have time to deal with them both."

Noa nodded, "I understand. Then I will cast an illusion magic here first to prevent the people of the empire from finding us."

"it is good."

Leon looked down at the information in his hand.

As long as you get the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale, you can activate the reversal magic.

He wants to go back.

He must go back.

"Rossweisse...wait for me. You must...wait for me."

Chapter 275: 83 The Thief Never Leaves Empty-Handed

Under the cover of night, Leon and Noah sneaked into the imperial city through a secret passage on the outer wall.

This place will not trigger the alarm of the perception barrier, and it is far away from the main roads inside the imperial city, so patrol teams generally do not come here.

The information provided by Nacho said that this secret passage was built five years ago and only people at his level or above knew about it.

I have to say that the young civil servant back then has made great progress and worked hard to reach such a high position today. It seems that working in the imperial royal family is also a good job.

But Leon didn't have much time to sigh about his "old colleague" and he had to hurry and find the heart-protecting dragon scales.

Based on the information provided by Nacho and Scott, Leon and Noa sneaked into the imperial city by shooting along the outskirts.

Just as Nacho said, there were not many patrols on this side of the secret passage, and Leon and Noah easily found the storage location of the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scales.

It was an underground facility with only one entrance above ground, guarded by four fully armed guards.

In addition, there is a perception barrier that is as secure as the outer wall.

If you force your way in, you will inevitably trigger the barrier's counterattack measures. If you delay for too long, you will attract more enemies.

Only those four guards can lift the barrier and allow visitors to enter and exit safely.

Leon and Noa leaned against a wall, observing the four guards.

"The information Nacho gave me mentioned passwords and codes."

Leon said, "If you want to enter that underground facility, you have to exchange secret signals with those guards."

"So, we're going to march over now and give the signal?"

"This is the only way, because the guards here don't change shifts. These four people will be here all night. We don't have any time difference to sneak in."

Noa blinked and asked, "What if they recognize you?"

Although twenty years have passed and there have been many personnel changes within the empire, Leon was a well-known figure twenty years ago after all, and his appearance has not changed at all, so there is still a risk of being recognized.

"Well... this is a problem. After all, my handsome face is very recognizable." Leon couldn't help but think about this problem seriously.

Three black lines slid down Noah's forehead.

Mom loves his sense of responsibility, his bravery, his selflessness and strength, but does she also love his narcissism?

Mom, I see you are really hungry.
