"The purpose of the eagle king?"
In the round table hall, Charlotte got up directly from her seat and stared at the figure opposite.
On both sides of the round table, the small wizards with different expressions and Lucien were also confused. Only Halin van achamay thought deeply and bowed his head in silence.
"Master Dalton Kander, what does that mean?" Charles, standing behind the countess, couldn't help but say.
"Literally," Dalton replied coldly without raising his head:
"Count of red blood castle, and you... Please think about it carefully. Do we really know?"
The crowd looked stunned again.
Isn't the eagle king's purpose to invade the empire from the beginning?
Silence lingered over the round table hall until Dalton nodded slightly, closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Dalton Kande meant that the eagle king invaded the Empire for what and why." master asamai finally opened his mouth and explained to the people: "we still know nothing about this now."
"The alarm of the ancient wood forest, the assassins in the red blood castle at midnight, and the intelligence network lurking all over the empire that even the night watchman can't detect... Yes, we can now conclude that the Azor kingdom is about to invade the Empire, and it will soon!"
"But why, why would he do that?"
Around the round table, everyone looked at each other.
This is the question that puzzled Loren when he was in the ancient wood forest.
Wealth? Ocean trade can provide the eagle king with far more wealth than war;
Land? Across an ocean, even if he wins and makes the Empire bow down, how many colonies can he conquer for his people?
Conquest? No matter how desperate war maniacs are, they won't be interested in a war that is destined to have a wide gap in strength and the enemy has local combat advantages, right?
If none of the three are true, what on earth is urging the eagle king to launch such a crazy all-out war?
"Reason, reason is the key to all answers." Dalton still looked cold and said every word with great dignity:
"Only by understanding it can we control the overall situation in the upcoming war."
Charlotte frowned and slowly sat back to her seat.
The surrounding atmosphere has also become much depressed.
"Knowing the other party's motivation, you can dig out the other party's ideas and actions at each step, and take the lead everywhere in the game..."
Lina desallion, who came on behalf of Isaac - because a genius is not interested in this kind of thing - a collateral branch of the Dragon King family pushed the black framed glasses with red hair.
"This is no longer a competition between the two forces in the past, but an all-out war between the two worlds and two continents with the same volume and strength, and even one side is slightly higher."
Dalton, with dignified eyes, accepted Lina desallion's words and admitted her statement: "Loren Turin, he is the Lord of Byrne, the key figure to open the next era of the wizard world, and the only person qualified to compete with the black cross serlior. He must control the overall situation."
"It's not something he doesn't want to do. It's his existing power, strength and position, and the responsibility entrusted to him!"
The voice fell and the hall became quiet again.
"But... But does that guy really know?"
The slightly anxious Lucian couldn't help but ask, with a suspicious expression: "I... I don't mean Lord Loren can't ask, but that guy is just an adjutant; if it is the chief of the imperial court, maybe he knows, but just an adjutant, he can't understand the idea of the eagle king?"
…………………………………………
"... of course you know, Royal warrior, Lord rod IL."
The dark haired wizard with narrowed eyes smiled and spoke slowly.
The fire flickered in the cold dungeon, leaving only silence.
The crazy smile solidified on the face of the elf warrior, the stunned pupils contracted suddenly, and the corners of the eyes twitched constantly.
"Don't want to say, don't want to explain? OK, I'll tell you why." Loren's tone was flat, but he was still a little complacent:
"The royal court warrior is the confidant of the eagle king. He is responsible for finding out the big and small things outside the court - in other words, the whole Azores Kingdom has absolutely no secrets to you."
"As the mastermind of the imperial assassination and even bewitching the Ancient Wood Forest Elves, you should be a part of the whole plan. Of course, you can't know nothing."
"Finally, the most crucial point... If I don't know the exact reason, if I don't know all this deeply, I really doubt whether there will be such a group of brave and fearless guys who can fight their lives to carry out such a mission that is close to death."
"There must be some reason, there must be some touch, let you decide to die."
"Even if you're brave enough to know nothing about all this... I don't believe you've never thought about it, not even the slightest thought!"
Bang -!
The elf warrior who suddenly bowed his head hit the iron ball falling on his neck with his forehead. The pain made him start to moan and gasp violently. His body kept shaking and trembling violently.
"Tell me what his reason is."
The black haired wizard looked straight, and his expression became a little excited: "say it... Even if you make it up... I meet a wish."
The elf warrior with his head down still trembled.
"Tell me! Say!"
Burning eyes stared at him with pressing pressure.
"No! I don't know, I really don't know..." he murmured in a low voice, his voice was like a movement made by the friction of scrap iron: "I'm just a little person, an abandoned son. I don't know such an important thing at all, I don't know..."
"Because you have been abandoned, you are an abandoned son! You no longer need to continue to follow the past oath and work for your majesty!"
Lauren shouted angrily and interrupted his voice: "in that case, these intelligence are the capital in your hands and the capital you can exchange - why not change your life while the capital has not depreciated?"
"Because I really don't know, I don't know --!!!"
The elf warrior with his head bowed screamed hysterically, and his voice was mixed with a cry: "I'm just a little person. The life and death of the royal court warrior is in the hands of the ZAD brothers and sisters. The interior and intelligence are in the charge of the second President midell. My chief adjutant is just a decoration!"
In the crying cavity, there is also a trace of pleading.
"Please, please let me go... I'll tell you what you want to know as long as I know; but how can I tell you that I really don't know about such things that I don't know anything and dare not even ask --!!!"
…………………………………………
"He knows."
Slowly closing his eyes, Dalton spoke with great confidence.
The picture in sight goes back three days ago.
The first thing Dalton noticed was the timing of the emergence of Anson ZAD, the enemy's wizard.
Not when I was fighting with the elf warrior, not when I was absorbed in digging information out of his mouth, nor when I was trying to kill him;
He appeared because he decided to capture the elf warrior alive.
The second act is the miscarriage of justice at the moment of the last confrontation with the wizard.
At that time, the elf wizard's performance was very reckless and rough, which made Dalton misjudge - he believed that there were only two reasons for the enemy to jump on himself, either to kill himself or to get rid of himself as soon as possible to rescue Lori ZAD.
He was wrong, and wrong;
At that moment, the elf wizard still focused all his attention on killing the elf warrior;
Dalton kand, who was aware of his misjudgment, could only do his best to save the life of the elf warrior and give up the opportunity to protect himself and continue to pursue, so as to reluctantly retain this important piece.
Well used, this worthless "outcast"... May be able to pry the opponent's chessboard slightly and change the situation to the advantage of Loren Turin.
But so far, it's just a hypothesis.
"Even if he knows, he will not speak easily... No, he should never say."
Charlotte's expression began to become complex, especially when she thought that in order to catch the prisoner, she made Youlun Eckert pay his life: "he said everything he could say, just to cover up the final truth. Would he still speak?"
"He will."
Frowning, Dalton paused for a second: "he must speak."
"Otherwise, the release of the Zade brothers and sisters... Will become the most failed choice of Loren Turin."
Charlotte's face was livid, and she barely held back her anger with a cold hum.
Next to Halin van achmai, he was even more embarrassed and kept silent throughout the whole process.
Who has such a pair of "proud" great grandchildren, probably can only keep silent
"It's not such a failure... After all, there's still a year left." she pushed the spectacle frame, and Lina desallion shrugged her shoulders and made a round:
"And our Duke is probably the best miracle maker in the Empire!"
Lucian nodded forcefully to show his approval with both hands raised.
"It won't be that simple, it won't be." the little wizard muttered to himself, and his blue eyes glittered: "he fought his life, endured so much pain, and even preferred to tell us all the information he knew, just to cover up the only truth..."
"Such perseverance can't be easily shaken." Charlotte, whose eyes were in a trance, involuntarily took ayin's words:
"What should be done to make a person give up his only persistence?"
Dalton said nothing and looked up at the ceiling above him with meaningful eyes. His eyes stopped on the knight king crowned Lord of Byrne.
……………………………………
"I'm really curious, really."
In the dim light, Loren blinked and focused on the elf warrior who was still shaking.
Each other's body and spirit were almost destroyed and tortured by mentor Dalton; Both willpower and reason have already reached the limit. It is not surprising that Loren is completely crazy even if he has a mental breakdown.
"So what is it that supports your willpower and can firmly protect this last secret?"
"Loyalty, commitment, faith... I don't believe it. It's not ironic, but you really don't behave like such a brave man." sighed, and the black haired wizard's voice became a little hesitant:
"I can only identify one thing, that is, the means we use now are not new enough for you, there are not enough patterns, and the degree of fear is not deep enough to shake your strong and tested spiritual palace."
"Next, I want to ask you something to determine your fear level, and then give you a set of the most appropriate means of extorting confessions."
"So... Lord rod earl, what do you think of craniotomy - opening the skull completely and exposing the brain completely to the air? Can you accept it?"
"Oh, in addition, our alchemist here has a set of very interesting surgical tools, which can completely remove your eyes from your eyes while still intact. You can still see it. Are you interested?"
"There's also about bloodletting and bone extraction. It's safe and healthy. If you want to do this, I can arrange one for you now..."
Bang -!
The trembling Elf Warrior forcibly pulled out the nail through his wrist... Or let the nail completely pass through his wrist and hit the iron fence.
The loud noise of the fence shaking, the movement of the steel nail tearing the muscle, and the sound of the dying body falling to the ground... Mixed together, broke the silence of the cell.
"Let me go, let me go! Please!"
The voice of the elf warrior was full of pleading, like a dying beast praying for a fatal blow from the Hunter: "I really don't know, I really don't know anything -!!!"
But Lauren was unmoved, and her indifferent eyes began to become calm.
"So... Betraying the eagle king is more terrible than all this just now, isn't it?"
The Elven warrior who collapsed on the ground kept trembling, and his hands penetrated by steel nails twitched and bled.
"I see. Lord rod IL, the elf warrior, I admire your courage and perseverance, and your unwavering determination to persist until now."
As he spoke, the black haired wizard got up slowly.
"That's why..." he said:
"I have to let you know another thing... That is, not cooperating with me is 10000 times worse than betraying the eagle king."
The elf warrior's body trembled obviously... He suddenly saw a figure in the corner of the cell.
A young man with white blond hair, red eyes, handsome and a delicate little dress.
When did he show up?
"So... The next work is up to you." Lauren, who didn't look back, said faintly:
"Asriel."
