The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Abes quietly observed the lizardman in front of him, thinking about what to do next.

After all, "Spirit Realm" is a game of recruiting soldiers and deploying troops, and obtaining population intelligence is very important for him to enter the royal capital.

And now, what Abes needs is to make the lizardman in front of him hand over this information voluntarily.

"Well, did you see what happened to your mount?"

"Hunger is the most terrible disease... and those starving people are caused by your invasion."

"That's why they would try to eat a monster as huge as a warg without caring about anything."

"How do you think they will treat you?"

As Abes spoke, he picked up the barbecue from the plate and swallowed it down with a slurp.

Then, the wooden stick that was cut out of a tree branch dangled in Abes's hand, pointing firmly towards Rectore's eyes or throat.

"We are certainly not barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood. We would not include intelligent creatures like you in our diet."

"However, I'm afraid that with the amount of supplies we have left, we won't consider treating the prisoners well."

After describing these basic situations, Abes changed the subject and said, "I came here for a purpose. I know that you lizardmen have robbed many humans, and I want to know their whereabouts. If you can tell me, I will do my best to protect you from punishment."

Rectore paused, his expression extremely complicated.

What's going on?

At the beginning, he led a gathering team to collect as many scaleless resources as possible for the ceremony.

On the way, Orchio asked me to ask him to move a large piece of refined gold.

Unexpectedly, not only was the refined gold not recovered, but a large number of people were lost.

If I didn't have the courage to sacrifice other people's lives and let a dozen idiots who didn't know the truth cover my retreat, I would probably have died on the spot.

Today, I initially thought that I had captured a lone scaleless man, but after seeing the truck, I felt that I had encountered an ambush.

As a result, during the whole process, the man who was always extremely vigilant did not take many actions. Almost all the damage was caused by the group of scaleless people who suddenly became brave for some unknown reason.

Just when he couldn't even protect his magic props and thought he was going to die, this man came out again, seemingly wanting to negotiate terms with him?

Abes' words made him silent for a moment.

This man wants the scaleless people they collected?

But why?

The lizardmen needed the scaleless people in order to properly conduct the ceremony mentioned by the elders, but as for the men in front of them, they didn't even have enough food of their own, so how could they absorb more people?

"Do you really want to know where the Scaleless prisoners are? You don't even have enough to eat for yourselves."

There was a hint of doubt in Rectore's eyes. The man in front of him ate in a decent manner, but he clearly saw that some of the people gathered around the campfire looked like starving ghosts.

No matter whether it was meat or vegetables or fruits, they were all poured into his mouth, as if what was connected to it was not the stomach but a black hole.

Looking at their lightly loaded truck, there was not much stuff inside, not even any overnight supplies like blankets or tents.

Such a situation is simply not suitable for accommodating further population growth.

The Lizardmen tribe had a profound understanding of population size...

Seeing that the other party stopped talking and started to think, Abes was not in a hurry and just nodded slightly.

"I mean what I say. If you can hand over the information I want, I will find a way to get you out of here."

Although he said it so sincerely, Abes never let down his guard during the whole process, but kept paying attention to the various details and conditions of the lizardman in front of him.

In such a fantasy world, the methods of investigation and interrogation may be different from those in the real world.

How to interrogate a Lizardman may require many unique adjustments and judgments based on its characteristics and worldview.

The first key point of interrogation is to create a safe environment.

Right now everyone else is eating, and I'm the only one here, coming alone. I think this will help me avoid making the other party feel nervous or threatened.

Second, it’s body language.

In addition to human body language, the fantasy race of Lizardmen also showed some interesting habits under Abes' observation. Perhaps they were habits derived from lizards?

For example, Abes observed that when he said he could let him go, the frequency of his tail wagging increased significantly.

During the whole process, he kept his neck slightly inflated because of the hostility towards himself.

Although he couldn't read other people's minds or tell lies, there was no doubt that these small details could help Abes judge whether the other person was nervous or in a state of mood swings.

Of course, it would be even better if there was some magic to help...

Abes thought so and squeezed the bone flute in his pocket.

In the main body of "Spirit Realm", magic is common.

Now that I have already completed the Western Fantasy Integration Pack, the use of magic should only increase.

Unfortunately, I have chosen the path of the barbarian. Before I upgrade again, I will probably not be able to acquire magical skills spontaneously, and I can only find ways to learn them by copying scrolls, etc.

However, the fact that he currently does not have magic does not prevent him from using the universality of magic in this world view to scare the other party.

In a fantasy world, methods of investigation and interrogation can be much more varied and creative.

Considering the presence of fantasy elements and magic, it should be a common situation to use these factors to help determine whether the target is lying.

And this is the leverage of Abesi.

"You know, I could easily use divine or arcane magic to pry open your mouth, or go directly into your mind and connect it directly with the truth... But I chose not to do so."

"Perhaps you want to say that you didn't see me use any spellcasting materials, words, or gestures, but you should know that some things can be replaced by magic tools."

Abes took out his left hand, which had been kept in the pocket of his cloth clothes, and on it was wrapped the bone flute that originally belonged to Rectore.

Now, a faint green light is emanating from it.

By making such a sharp threat, observe the other party's reaction and the consistency of his answer. Pay attention to the subtle changes in his eyes, voice, tone, etc.

Abes's sharp eyes also caught the other party's spinning gaze.

The lizardman in front of him narrowed his eyes, probably prepared for a decisive fight.

Rectore did not hesitate much. In fact, he was very clear about the consequences.

Just as he abandoned those cannon fodders who were unaware of the truth without hesitation, he, who was captured, would also be abandoned by the tribe without hesitation.

During the whole process, the reason why he didn't answer was that he was not sure whether the other party would let him go.

And now, the other party is ready to use magic, so there is no need to hide these little thoughts of mine.

Rector opened his mouth and said, "I can tell you that those humans are in a cave in the Hundred Bird Forest."
