Chapter 109. Dekan Prepares to Be a Schemer Again

Just like that, after getting all the information from this prisoner, Dekan prepared to go to the other prisoner to trick him as well.

If the confessions of the two prisoners were more or less the same, then the information was likely correct.

Of course, to be on the safe side.

Tomorrow, he could also use the "Little Sunflower Mother's Truth Serum" jointly produced by him and Mi'e to verify it.

However, this potion was only highly effective when the enemy's spirit was tortured to a very fragile state.

Otherwise, the enemy also had ways to forcibly resist the hallucinatory effects of the potion with their own mental will.

"Brother Lampard, I will give you two doses of a potion when I go back later. Please have someone interrogate these two prisoners again."

Dekan looked at the lord and said.

"Okay, no problem."

Lord Viscount Lampard nodded with a serious expression.

Originally, neither Dekan nor the lord had any intention of illegally interrogating them.

But now that it had come to this.

Even if it meant completely ignoring the regulations for handling major prisoners.

They had to interrogate them thoroughly.

As for Dekan's promise of "no more torturing the prisoners."

Indeed.

Tomorrow's interrogation was not for Dekan to conduct.

He was only responsible for handing over the potion to the lord, and the lord would naturally send someone to interrogate them again.

"By the way, what is this potion? How should it be used?"

The lord suddenly asked.

Dekan: "Ah, it's called Little Sunflower Mother's Truth Serum. If the child keeps not telling the truth, a good beating will do the trick. Tomorrow, have someone beat these two prisoners up first. After they are beaten into a daze, you can inject them with the potion and start the interrogation."

Lord: “…”

He didn't know how to comment on the potion produced by Dekan.

So you're saying this is a pediatric medicine?

The lord even felt that it was due to the gentleness of the Norton Kingdom's laws that Dekan hadn't been locked up in prison.

Not long after, the lord, as requested by Dekan, took him to the detention place of the other prisoner.

All the way, the lord's face was ashen.

He couldn't wait to rush back to the lord's mansion overnight and use communication magic to ask for help from the Royal Capital.

But his reason told him that he had to confirm and verify everything first.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Royal Capital to believe it.

After all, this was too absurd!

Whether it was the mysterious plan to kidnap an 8th-rank Special-Grade Card Maker, or that 7th-rank epic spell card with unknown effects!

After the interrogation was over, the result was as expected.

The two's confessions, apart from some irrelevant chatter, were basically consistent.

The Resurrection Church was indeed going to use that epic spell card with unknown effects to enslave the Ice Snow Princess!

"What should I do, what should I do, Dekan."

The lord stomped his feet anxiously, pacing back and forth on the spot.

He seemed not to know how to explain to the Royal Capital.

Now, he could only rely on Dekan.

After all, all this information was elicited by Dekan.

And only Dekan could fully understand the lord's situation.

On the other hand, Dekan's expression did not change much, he was holding his chin and thinking about something.

"Don't worry, no need to panic."

Dekan smiled at the lord.

He seemed not at all worried about the Resurrection Church's upcoming big move.

Lord: "If we don't ask for help from the Royal Capital soon, it might be too late!"

Dekan: "No need to look for the Royal Capital."

The lord said somewhat excitedly: "I must ask for help from the Royal Capital! Lord Ice Snow Princess must not have any mishaps!"

If the Resurrection Church was confident in kidnapping the Ice Snow Princess while Tristine City was fully prepared, then the city's defense forces would certainly not be able to stop the Resurrection Church forces that were about to attack in the dark!

The lord felt as if a sword was hanging over his head.

The Resurrection Church could attack his doorstep at any time.

At the earliest, now; at the latest, within a week.

Anyway, according to the confession, the capture plan was in these few days.

The lord was also well aware of the importance of the Ice Snow Princess to the Norton Kingdom, and the great harm it would bring to the world if she were to be enslaved by the Resurrection Church!

In the worst-case scenario, besides the Ice Snow Princess being captured, the people of Tristine City would also be ruthlessly ravaged.

As the lord, he could not sit by and watch these things happen under any circumstances.

Dekan pressed down on the lord's shoulder and said:

"If you rashly ask for help from the Royal Capital, the result will be alerting the enemy, causing us to lose the advantage we have painstakingly established in intelligence."

"After the three hijackers disappeared, the Resurrection Church should already be in a state of suspicion. They would be afraid that these prisoners would leak key information."

"The Resurrection Church has a more thorough intelligence network in the Royal Capital than you can imagine. If you choose to ask for emergency assistance, they will immediately discover the abnormality and start their operation in advance. The Royal Capital's support would still be on the way, and the enemy might have already achieved their goal and captured the Ice Snow Princess."

"Give me some time to prepare. I guarantee that the Resurrection Church's plan will fail, and I will find a way to minimize the losses to the city and its residents."

After Dekan finished speaking, he released his hand from the lord's shoulder.

A complex emotion flickered in the lord's expression as he looked at Dekan.

He felt that what Dekan said made sense. After all, Dekan could call himself an expert in dealing with Resurrection Church cultists.

"I believe you. If you need any assistance, just ask. I will fully cooperate with you."

The lord's attitude was still as humble as before, but at this moment, there was also an undisguisable sense of reverence.

Believe in Dekan, stay safe.

"Since you are willing to believe me, there will naturally be no problem."

Dekan replied with a light laugh.

As long as there was key intelligence and preparation time, the enemy was too easy to deal with.

This time, Dekan hoped to pull off something big.

…

The next day.

Royal Capital, the morning at Heavenlit Academy was as quiet as ever.

The vice dean of the Knight Faculty, who was also the homeroom teacher of Dekan's Class 1-A, Professor Anno.

After waking up, washing up, and changing his clothes in the morning, he headed towards the school building.

On the way, he bought a cup of coffee and a copy of the "Norton Morning Post".

"Although I'm quite worried about Dekan, there shouldn't be any problems for at least these two days. If he really provokes the Ice Snow Princess, that would also have to wait a day or two."

Professor Anno comforted himself.

Even if he was likely to have a headache in the future.

What will come will come, no need to guess.

For at least these few days, let's just live life peacefully for now.

"Let me see what's new."

He took a sip of coffee and picked up the newspaper.

However, the headline of the newspaper was—

"Resurrection Church Hijacking Incident, Fortunately All Returned Safely."

"Magic Airship Speeding, Suspect Has Been Controlled by Tristine Security."

"Pfft!"

Professor Anno spat out a mouthful of coffee.

He hurriedly flipped through the newspaper, for a moment forgetting to wipe himself with a handkerchief.

Even though, Dekan's name was not written in the headline.

But Professor Anno.

He knew without guessing that this was more or less related to Dekan.

"It's only the first day…"

Professor Anno shook his head with a look of despair.

He was already a little afraid to buy tomorrow's newspaper.

In the end.

Professor Anno stuffed the newspaper into the trash can.

It doesn't matter anymore…

He felt that even if Dekan pulled some other stunt in the next few days, it wouldn't be able to affect his state of mind…
