Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1271
Vengeance Judgment Division, Elise Branch Base.

The person from above that Elise said came much faster than Xia Duo expected. Almost as soon as he returned to the room and had not rested for a few minutes, he received a notice from Elise asking him to go to the hall——

Someone is coming!
While Xia Duo quickly went through the questions that might be asked in his mind, he quickly walked out of the room and went to the hall outside where everyone in the branch base could communicate.

At this moment, in addition to Elise, there was also a middle-aged male spellcaster wearing a traditional trial robe in the hall. Seeing Xia Duo coming, the two of them temporarily stopped communicating and turned to look at Xia Duo.

"My lord." Xia Duo saluted both of them at the same time.

"McCard, this is His Excellency Sith, a special investigator from the Internal Affairs Department of the Judicial Division, and he is also a great arcanist who is good at judging spells. He has a few questions for you to answer."

"Yes!"

Xia Duo was taken aback. He didn't expect that a great arcanist would be specially sent from above, which indicated that the situation might be so bad that he wouldn't let go of even a chance.

"Master Sith, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask, and Mecad will definitely state the truth."

"The situation is tense, and some unnecessary procedures are temporarily omitted. Mecad, let me ask you, is the information about the underground passage really obtained from the Cormanthor elves?"

Sith did not cast any judgment spells in front of Xia Duo, but directly launched a miniature magic net, covering the entire area of ​​the hall.

However, Xia Duo is not an ordinary high-level mage, but a senior arcanist. Seeing this situation, he realized that this great Sith arcanist is not only proficient in judging spells, but also proficient in transformation. Department of spells.

Being able to judge all kinds of information from the interaction between the human body and the magic net, this is a more powerful lie detection technique than ordinary psychic spells.

After all, the mind can be disguised through hypnosis, prayer, torture, etc., but the natural changes of the human body are difficult to control independently.

According to Xia Duo's conjecture, in order to completely control the inner subtle changes of the human body, one must integrate subconscious and superficial consciousness, and find out the one-to-one correspondence between consciousness and human body functions.

This is not an easy task, the latter is fine as a side effect, but the integration of subconscious and superficial consciousness in the former means——

Human body functions such as breathing, heartbeat, visceral peristalsis, hormone secretion, etc., which were originally completed automatically by the subconscious, are all "manually" controlled by oneself.

Its difficulty can be imagined.

Even Xia Duo has only touched the threshold of integrating subconscious and superficial consciousness, and the follow-up completion time is far away.

Xia Duo knew that he had to deal with it carefully. Let alone getting some supplies, he might be self-defeating and turn himself into a spy.

"Master Sith, I got this news from a Comanthor elf."

"Tell me about the process!"

Xia Duo is most afraid of being asked for details, but he also knows that he will not escape being asked for details. Fortunately, he is prepared, "My lord, as long as they destroy the homeland of the elves, they are willing to do anything."

"I'm asking you about the specific process, don't waste my time!" A trace of displeasure flashed in Sith's eyes, and he repeated the question again.

"Yes Yes."

Xia Duo knew that he couldn't act too much, so he quickly explained: "After the home of the Comanthor elf was destroyed, I appeared in front of him as his friend, and without much guidance, he told the secrets in his heart, among which Including that underground passage."

This statement is not a lie, but combined with the previous sentence, it is actually implying that Sith—it was Mecad who destroyed the home of the elves, and then pretended to be the friend of the other party, leading the other party to tell the secret in his heart.

It stands to reason that this little trick cannot be fooled by experienced special investigators, but the situation is critical now, and Xia Duo really did not lie, how could Sith think that a mere high-ranking mage would dare to take risks on this kind of issue? Woolen cloth!

He also mentioned before that some unnecessary procedures were omitted. If it was an ordinary investigator, he would definitely ask Xia Duo about the time, place, and various details of the encounter with the elves.

But for a busy Grand Arcanist, as long as it is confirmed that this matter is true, then it can be over, and someone will come to inquire about the details later.

The so-called details are completely different concepts for people of different status.

In fact, even if he had to face an ordinary investigator who had to ask and record every detail, Xia Duo was prepared. As a former "drow assassin", he had indeed destroyed an elf village, as long as the relevant details were grafted in. up.

And most importantly, he has a strong resistance to psychic spells. If he is just a general investigator, he is not worried about being exposed.

Now there is a great arcanist who can pass the body element lie detector. To be honest, Xia Duo is really flustered.

But fortunately, the great Sith Arcanist seemed to be in a hurry to investigate the underground passage. After asking two questions about the source of information, he focused his inquiry on the underground passage.

Wanted to get the missing detail part of Elise's report.

In this regard, Xia Duo also answered truthfully, telling all the information he knew about the underground passage of the Longji Mountains, without a single lie.

As for why Mecad could get such secret information by just looking for an elf, Sith didn't ask too much, that's not his job.

After a brief inquiry, he quickly determined that the fact that McKard obtained the information was not a fiction. As for whether the underground passage was as McKard said, he still needed to go to the Longji Mountains for field investigation.

And this is the real purpose of Sith personally going out.

……

After Sith left, Xia Duo was asked by Elise not to leave the base temporarily, but at the same time she promised a reward——

"Your Excellency Sith's investigation will be completed soon. As long as you confirm the existence of the channel, you have made a great contribution. Whether it is returning to the headquarters base for further study, or transferring to other departments, or just points, I can achieve it for you! You can now You can think ahead."

"My lord, I want some arcane crystals and high-grade mithril to make magic items, is that okay?" Xia Duo asked tentatively.

Elise frowned subconsciously when she heard the words, not to say that she couldn't withdraw supplies in advance, after all, no matter whether underground channels exist or not, providing information always needs to be rewarded, it's nothing more than a question of how much.

Withdrawing in advance means withdrawing in advance. As the branch manager, Elise has this authority. The reason for her hesitation is more because of "McCard":

"What kind of magic item do you need to create? Is the organization's standard equipment not enough? What you need to do now is to take a good rest. Comanthor's big search may come at any time, and it will not be as easy as it is now."

But that being said, Elise did not refuse to provide supplies.
