Chapter 108. Dekan Accidentally Discovers a Perfect Counter

The lord was listening intently to the conversation between Dekan and the prisoner on the side.

His heart was already in turmoil, but he dared not show it on his face.

No wonder Dekan had instructed him on the way here—

No matter what information was interrogated, he had to manage his expression.

The lord knew that Dekan was tricking the prisoner.

But he didn't expect that Dekan would guess such an outrageous answer from the very beginning.

And in the end, he actually guessed it right?

The Resurrection Church wants to target the Ice Snow Princess?

How dare they!

The lord became anxious and uneasy for a moment.

Interrogating key information was certainly a good thing, but the problem was that there might be serious trouble.

Since the Resurrection Church dared to plan this, they must have some confidence.

So the key now was, to what extent would the Resurrection Church go.

If they just wanted to steal the Ice Snow Princess’s cards, it would probably be fine.

Nothing too major would happen.

If one were to guess more boldly.

What if the Resurrection Church wanted to try to snatch one of the Ice Snow Princess’s masterpieces?

Then it was very likely that the safety of the city-state would be severely threatened.

While the lord was thinking, the Resurrection Church prisoner had already begun his confession.

The prisoner looked at Dekan honestly and said:

"Actually, the three of us who came to kidnap you did not know the specific plan for capturing the Ice Snow Princess."

Hearing this, the lord turned around on the spot and quickly walked out of the prisoner's line of sight.

This time, the lord really couldn't control his expression. He could no longer remain calm.

Kidnap the Ice Snow Princess??!

What kind of international joke is this?

Does your Resurrection Church want to level Tristine City?

The lord felt a chill down his back.

Cold sweat also began to appear on his forehead.

However, the lord found that Dekan, who was standing in front of the prisoner, was still calm.

As if he was not surprised by this at all.

The lord couldn't help but marvel. This young man's on-the-spot acting ability and mentality were indeed as terrifyingly stable as his performance in the Shadow World.

“…”

In fact, even Dekan was silent for a fraction of a second.

He couldn't help but start complaining in his heart.

Ah Fu, you guys are truly impressive.

This was the first time Dekan felt that he had underestimated the Resurrection Church.

This wave of planning by the Resurrection Church, regardless of whether it was realistic or whether it could succeed.

For this group of cowards from the Resurrection Church who only knew how to play dirty tricks, it was already commendable for their courage.

Dekan even wanted to give them a little red flower.

"What is your purpose in capturing her?"

Dekan asked.

"…Of course, it's to make her create cards for us non-stop, without letting her die from exhaustion."

The prisoner felt that Dekan had asked a very stupid question.

Capturing an 8th-rank Card Maker, if not to make her create cards at high intensity, would they have her wash vegetables and cook?

Any normal person should be able to figure this out easily.

However, when the prisoner thought that this might be Dekan’s test, he still answered honestly.

Dekan nodded upon hearing this.

He thought the Resurrection Church wanted to capture the Ice Snow Princess to be a maid.

He didn't expect it was for card making.

It seems the Resurrection Church is still as vulgar as ever.

"Mm, tell me everything you know, regardless of the size of the information. Start with the important things."

Dekan instructed.

Afterward, he stared at the prisoner without changing his expression and said nothing.

His gaze was neither fierce nor gentle.

However, in the prisoner’s eyes, this was an extremely terrifying state.

Because a terrorist in this state could turn hostile the fastest.

Perhaps with just one wrong word, Dekan would immediately become his most terrifying nightmare.

"…It is said that there is an epic spell card obtained from the Shadow World that can be used to capture the Ice Snow Princess, but we don't know its specific effects yet."

"It was also since we got this card that the plan to capture the Ice Snow Princess came into being. Its effect must be to forcibly enslave the enemy when certain conditions are met."

"And the Lord Cardinal sent a trusted subordinate to be the key to the entire mission..."

…

"Some time ago, the church put a lot of effort into investigating the Ice Snow Princess's name, race, and even tried to determine her gender. Although she is indeed very flat, it's really puzzling for the intelligence investigation work to go to this extent…"

…

"The Resurrection Church's revenue for this year showed a deficit for the first time. It was not until the annual accounting a few days ago that internal problems were discovered. The Lord Pontiff was furious, but the flow of funds has still not been traced."

"It is said that one of our Lord Bishops likes to wear women's clothing. Of course, I've only heard about it and never dared to speak of it carelessly."

"Some time ago, a new word 'underworld' became popular from somewhere. It can be used to describe cards or people. Several card makers in our association were furious because of this word, but… the reason they were angry seemed to be that they were pointed out to be 'not underworld enough' compared to a certain real underworld card maker."

…

Listening to the prisoner's confession, Dekan nodded frequently with a calm expression.

Although the information gradually became less nutritious later on.

But since someone was talking, he would still listen more.

"Teacher, have you heard of a spell that can forcibly enslave an enemy?"

Dekan called out to Shijiang with a thought.

"I have heard of similar spells in a certain Shadow World, but the restrictions and requirements for this type of sealing and contract magic are very high."

Shijiang quickly answered Dekan's question.

And her tone was milder compared to usual.

The last time Dekan had asked for advice so humbly was back at the Demon Academy.

"For example, needing the other party's true name, race, and the like?"

"Yes, for example, the magic in that world that sealed the ancestor of the immortal blood clan, the most crucial part was to declare their true name."

"Then I probably know, thank you Shijiang."

Dekan felt that he had basically figured out the general effect of this card.

He was just not sure about its specific mechanism and judgment details.

It was indeed an outrageous spell card.

Such a forced, thorough, and permanent enslavement was more terrifying than any kind of torture.

If the Ice Snow Princess was really captured by the Resurrection Church, then what awaited her would be an incomparably miserable fate.

Of course.

If Dekan had been hijacked on the magic airship earlier.

Then Dekan would have been the backup Card Maker to bear this enslavement spell card.

This miserable fate could also have been Dekan's.

"Hehe."

Thinking of the Resurrection Church's calculations, Dekan couldn't help but want to laugh.

This time, they were messing with the wrong person.

Also, doesn't this 7th-rank epic spell card seem to have a fatal weakness?

If you want to use it successfully, you must declare some key information about the target—

For example, the target's name, race, gender.

Then…

Dekan silently took out one of his own cards, lost in thought.

Isn't this epic spell completely countered by 【Grandpa's Mute Spell】?

If you can't even speak, how can you make a declaration?
