Late at night, Josh and Healy ate and drank together at Empress Yekana’s banquet and returned to the Hearthstone Tavern with satisfaction.
Clary and Monet, who had been waiting in the Hearthstone Tavern, finally received the treatment that a prisoner should receive, which was interrogation.
Clary was brought to an empty room by the tavern attendant. There was only a long table and three chairs in the room, as well as a primordial crystal lamp that emitted dim light.
This scene made Clary feel like she had seen it before.
Jose was now sitting on the other side of the long table. There was also a female spell caster who looked like a recorder sitting beside Jose with a notebook.
“First of all, the sister’s name is Clary, and the brother’s name is Monet, right?”
Jose gestured for Clary to sit down. Clary cautiously sat on the seat opposite Jose and nodded at Jose’s answer.
“Then I’ll ask the first question. If I give you another chance to defect to the demon world, my brother Monet will temporarily become a professional player. As for my sister... I haven’t decided yet. In short, I’ll give you a job and let you have your personal rights. Will you still serve the Court?”
Josh resisted the urge to Burp and tried his best to be serious. He had eaten too much when he went to Empress Yekana’s banquet just now.
“Absolutely not, Your Highness Jose!”
“With that tone, are you answering your younger brother now?”
When Jose was talking with this Chaos Fiend in the contestant’s lounge, he had almost figured out the general character of the siblings.
“If your question is serious and not a joke, my answer is no.”
Clary made Monet, who was excited, shut his mouth temporarily and carefully sized up Jose.
“It was so easy to turn him over...”
Healy, who was in charge of recording the conversation, suddenly raised his head and looked at the Chaos Fiend.
“Are all the people in the heretic court like this?”
“All like this?”
Clary listened to the female spellcaster’s tone. She seemed to know quite a few traitorous judges.
“HMM... in fact, there are still a few former judges who work under me. is the heretic court really okay with the examination of Spies? “They defected so easily to the enemy’s side. If it were me, I would have fired this kind of spy long ago.”
Joshua suddenly began to tell Clary about the professional ethics of spies, causing her to be at a loss..
“I’m sorry.”
In the end, Monet, who felt guilty, could only apologize in a low voice on her sister’s behalf.
“It seems to be a little off topic. After all, I’m not very professional in interrogating people. You can just go to the pre-recruitment examination. The second question is why did you join the Court?”
Joshua’s words once again dispelled the tense atmosphere. Now, Clary could no longer imagine that Joshua was some kind of hatchet man.
There were good people among the demons. Clary had always scoffed at the Maxim taught to her by an old Holy Army soldier. She had no choice but to believe in Joshua’s performance.
“The heretic trial court found the souls of Monet and me and turned us into this... so we can only become members of the trial court.”
Clary chose to lie to Josh. Josh could easily make her and her brother disappear from this world.
Although it was very despicable, Clary had to gain Josh’s trust. This was the only way she could protect her brother.
As this thought lingered in Clary’s mind, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her mind.
ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ꜰʀᴇᴇᴡᴇʙɴ(ᴏ)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄoᴍ ᴏɴʟʏ.
This caused the chaos demon that Clary controlled to subconsciously fall on the table.
What was going on?
Clary turned the Chaos Demon’s eyes to look at Josh who was sitting in front of her.
“I forgot to remind you. A friend helped me set up a very interesting barrier. The name can be roughly summarized as a spirit lie detector.”
Josh showed Clary the mark of the Lord skeleton in his palm.
“A qualified spy can pass the test of this magic circle, but it seems that you have not been trained in this area.”Josh paused and said, “So you have a chance to tell the truth, Miss Amateur Spy.”
“Our parents were members of the Holy Army. They participated in the fourth expedition, and then... They never came back.”
Clary clenched her hands tightly and used her will to overcome the pain in her soul that felt like needles.
“So, I also became a member of the Holy Army and wanted to take revenge, but... I failed. The Court of heresy gave me a second chance.”As Clary said this, the pain in her soul gradually lessened, she looked at Joshua again.
“Your second chance seems to have ended in failure.”
”...”
Clary clenched her fists and did not answer Jose. She knew that the truth she was telling now might anger Jose.
“The third question.”Jose did not continue asking. “How much do you know about the current Court of heresy? and their purpose...”
“The trial court has a large number of temporary strongholds in the frost country. The bishops have gathered in the frost country and seem to be planning to open a thing called the door of origins.”
Clary knew that this was one of the bargaining chips in exchange for her survival. She could only tell Jose everything she knew.
“Door?”
“The soul builds the body of the door. The holy object acts as the key. The source becomes the battlefield, allowing the truth to descend into this world.”
Clary softly recited a prayer that sounded very strange to Joshua. The prayer did not sound like a human language, but Joshua still understood its meaning.
“This is a sentence that appeared in my mind when the bishop fixed my soul in this chaos demon’s body,”Clary continued.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the interrogation room became gloomy. Clary quietly stared at Joshua who was deep in thought.
“Gate of Truth? Are you sure that those bishops have never read a manga called ‘Steel Alchemist’?”
“I’ve only read a manga called ‘big cat’s journey’on the magic web.”
Clary answered Jose very seriously. After all, she would be punished if she lied.
“I drew that one.”
Hili took the time to create a manga in the immovable library. This world had long ago had a story in the form of a comic.
Some of the books were accompanied by illustrations. Healy had recently been instructed by the purple-clothed man to practice oil painting, so Josh suggested that she might as well connect these oil paintings into a story.
Thus, Healy combined her own experience of surviving in the wilderness with the experience of Zinas to create a manga about the sin demon traveling around the world for 365 days.
“Are... Are You the author? I’ve read that manga too.”Monet suddenly intervened in the conversation at this time.
“Monet!”
Clary once again interrupted her brother. The current atmosphere was not suitable for discussing manga-related topics.
“Strictly speaking, the big cat trip is the first manga on the magic web. Uh... it seems to have gone off topic again.”
Jose asked Clary again but was unable to get any useful information.
“Let’s call it a day for today’s interrogation. I have some things to take care of.”
Just now, the Dark Elf sent a text message to Joshua. From the content of the text message, it seemed that Fuya had a nightmare again.
