The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 33 Then let you speak on your own

In order to avoid causing chaos, Key ordered the incident of the attack to be blocked.

After uncovering a few lurking spies, the inner castle quickly returned to its previous appearance and continued to operate smoothly as usual.

As for the Black Sword Knight, after undergoing some treatment and barely saving his life, he was imprisoned for torture.

However, for two days in a row, no valuable information could be extracted from his mouth.

"That guy should have received anti-torture training. No matter how we tortured him, he refused to speak."

In the meeting hall, Brad reported the results of the two days of torture.

"If you ask me to crush him bone by bone, I don't believe he can endure it." Jordan sneered.

Brad shook his head and said: "It's no use. He seems to have mastered some means of isolating pain. He didn't react at all when we tortured him."

"Is there such a way?" Qiao Dun's eyes widened in shock.

The other knights looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

How can I torture him?

Keyi frowned, turned to look at Sunan who was sitting beside him, and asked: "Sunan, do you have any good ideas?"

Su Nan nodded and said, "Leave it to me for interrogation."

Once they heard that Su Nan seemed to have a solution, everyone suddenly became energetic.

Under the leadership of Brad and Jordan, Sunan came to the prison where the Black Sword Knight was imprisoned.

Stepping into the cell, what he saw was the miserable-looking black sword knight whose limbs were tied to the iron pillars with chains.

There are still scorch marks left on his body from the lightning rune gems. Coupled with the two days of torture, there is almost no intact flesh left on his body.

But even so, he still didn't look at all in pain.

Seeing Sunan come in, his expression changed slightly, followed by a disdainful sneer.

"Don't waste your efforts. Don't even think of asking me for any information. Kill me if you dare!"

Su Nan said calmly: "If you really want to die, there are many ways to commit suicide. Why bother surviving until now?"

These words obviously touched the pain point of the Black Sword Knight. The corners of his eyes twitched fiercely, and he snorted and stopped talking.

Sunan didn't care and came to the Black Sword Knight with a calm expression.

"Since torture doesn't work for you, then let you speak on your own."

After hearing this, the Black Sword Knight's expression became more and more disdainful. He was about to sneer at the other party, but the moment he met Sunan's eyes, his whole body suddenly trembled. He felt that the other party's eyes were like a deep pool, and his own soul was actually There is an illusion of being sucked in.

In just a few seconds, the Black Sword Knight's face became dull and his eyes were dull, as if he was sleepwalking.

"Name." Su Nan said slowly.

"Yuli Elric." The Black Sword Knight replied with dull eyes.

"age."

"Thirty-two."

Brad and Qiao Dun, who were following Sunan, were already dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Why did this guy suddenly become so well-behaved and answer whatever he asked?

The two of them soon noticed something was wrong with the Black Sword Knight's expression, and they suddenly realized that Mr. Sunan had probably used that strange power called magic again.

I just didn’t expect that there is such a spell in this world that can make people lose their minds and answer questions obediently!

In the face of this kind of power, doesn't anyone have any secrets?

Brad and Jordan took a deep breath and looked at Sunan's back with even more awe.

Sunan didn't pay attention to the small movements of the two people behind him, and focused his eyes directly on the black sword knight.

The spell of Charming Humans can affect the subject's cognition to a certain extent, making the other party regard you as a reliable partner.

The caster can command the recipient to do something that he or she would not otherwise do.

However, commands that are obviously harmful to oneself and threaten one's own life, such as suicide or self-mutilation, will most likely fail, resulting in the termination of the spell's effect.

But if you just want to ask for some information, the spell of charming people is still very useful.

"Who sent you to assassinate the Lord of Blackstone City?"

"It's the priest Casper." Priest?

Su Nan raised an eyebrow: "Where are you from?"

"We belong to the Spark Cult and believe in the great Star God who created this continent!"

When it comes to the Star God, even though he is under the influence of the spell, the Black Sword Knight's dull face still shows a bit of fanaticism, which shows how deep his belief in the so-called Star God is.

Spark Cult?

Sunan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that these killers came from the Spark Cult that attacked Earl Storm.

"What is your relationship with Marquis Jinyan?"

"I don't know." The Black Sword Knight shook his head dully

Sunan frowned slightly. It was certain that the Marquis of Jinyan was connected to the Spark Cult.

Since this guy doesn't know, it means that the person responsible for contacting the Marquis of Jinyan should be a higher-level member of the Spark Cult.

"How many of your companions are still in Black Rock City?"

"Including me, there are four of us."

"Tell me the list of spies you know."

The Black Sword Knight said six or seven names in one go.

Several of them are the spies who have been uncovered in the past two days.

Without Sunan's instructions, Brad consciously wrote down the names and hiding places of these people. Then he and Qiao Dun left the prison and rushed to arrest them.

Sunan then asked about the Spark Cult's organizational structure, stronghold branches, member status and other information.

According to the description of the Black Sword Knight, the Spark Cult is a sect that believes in the Star God and is committed to spreading the great glory of the Star God throughout the entire continent.

They secretly cooperated with many nobles, at the expense of assassinating their competitors for the nobles. They used the power of these nobles to continuously strengthen the sect, and in just over ten years, they spread their tentacles throughout the Principality of Stars.

As for which nobles he had cooperated with, the Black Sword Knight didn't know much. They were all baron-viscount-level nobles.

Noble collaborators with higher status are not accessible to members of his level.

After all, at the top of the hierarchy, there are the priests, officiants, chief priests, and the pope who controls the entire sect.

"The great knights are only middle-level cadres. It seems that the Spark Cult has a strong foundation."

Sunan thought silently.

He had guessed before that the Spark Cult might be related to the wizard apprentices, but now it seems that he was wrong.

The obvious line of religious belief taken by the Spark Sect is completely opposite to that of the wizards who pursue the truth and ascribe great power to themselves.

In terms of strongholds, the Black Sword Knight doesn't know much, only three strongholds located in Jinyan Province.

As for other provinces, I have no idea at all.

Keeping in mind what the Black Sword Knight said about the personnel structure of these strongholds, Sunan then asked about the Spark Sect's actions in the Golden Rock Province over the years.

The result is that you don’t know if you don’t ask, but you will be shocked if you ask.

It turns out that the seven or eight nobles who died in Jinyan Province in the past ten years were all behind the death of the Spark Cult.

They killed these nobles by creating various unexpected coincidences, pretending to be accidental deaths or deaths from illness.

If it's more difficult, just assassinate it directly.

Among them was Sunan's cheap father.

It seemed that he died in battle, but in fact before the war broke out, the Spark Cult sent someone to disguise himself as a guard beside him, and then secretly attacked him on the battlefield, causing him to die at the hands of the enemy.

Although the Black Sword Knight did not know the real purpose behind this series of assassinations, Sunan could guess with his toes that the mastermind behind it must be Marquis Jinyan.

Kill the vassal nobles, and then support the puppets to take over, and achieve the goal of controlling their territory.

The ultimate goal of the Marquis of Jinyan is to completely control the entire Jinyan Province.

No, maybe this is not the ultimate goal.

Just to completely control Jinyan Province, there is no need to go to this point.

Marquis Jinyan may have a deeper purpose!
