The interrogation was indeed conducted smoothly.

Elise, who holds the iron, casts her heel after breaking the pagan foot and shin to stop the bleeding. Hemostasis in that state and then repeat the same procedure again.

It was very simple and intuitive torture.

Since there were no organs in the leg, you can inflict almost unlimited pain if you only pay attention to excessive bleeding. A man does not die enough to break his foot or tibia.

Elise asks nothing and leaves one pagan harpoon like that.

He tried to say something, but it was a language we didn't understand. It was worthless if we didn't speak, so I showed it as an example of patience.

If applicable, the pagan was subjected to machete torture for about two hours, then deliberately neglected the bleeding and killed.

"Phew. I told you there's nothing to die for, but you're making a mistake. As you can see, I intend to interrogate you in this way."

Elise wipes away the blood that is tangled in the iron with her careless eyes.

"Of course, I don't make mistakes from now on."

And I took the table and the chair and sat there and recorded the contents of the interrogation. Elise was now extremely angry.

"I will not kill you until I hear what I want."

The pagans have corrupted the villagers and committed ugly human trafficking. It was evil to be crushed no matter what.

"Khhhh...!"

You can kill a pagan.

"Did you intend to open your mouth?"

"What a dirty hound of Eijermart!! We never succumb to torture! For our gods, for goodness' sake! You will never be defeated!!!"

"Hmm."

Even though one person watched the chewing in real time, the pagan did not lose his jealousy. What kind of faith makes a man so insane?

I was so curious.

The saints who cast their lives into justice do not have to be numerous. Every human being wants to be just and has a conscience.

But the bastards who were affected by the evil were unable to understand.

- Zec Zec.

I don't even need to write down my personal views... but I do need to write down what the pagan said. Because this is all a clue.

Claudie and Winia go back as if they were demonstrating after seeing Elise's torture. I think I'm going to wash and rest now. I want to get it over with and get some rest.

"Hey, hey. Quickly, don't bullshit me. If you get thrown out anyway, you won't have 10 minutes, so there's a lot of fire to talk about."

"Khhhh!! Did you say Paladin in Verde? You will never know! What will happen in the future!"

"Why do you keep wondering? Let me know, really. I'm curious. I'm sorry I stabbed you earlier."

"Foolish, foolish!"

This son of a bitch isn't even Chodding, but he doesn't tell me what he knows. Of course, it's still less embarrassing for him to burst into thin air.

Elise, who wiped all the blood that was tangled in the iron, stood before the pagan who was bluffing.

"Then let's begin a full-scale interrogation. If you think you want to say something, please feel free to do so."

"You will know nothing!!"

The pagan shouts loudly, and Elise smashes his shin.

Exactly 30 minutes later, we were able to obtain significant information.

"Argh...! K'Hak! I don't know where the business is...! I'm just being funded...!"

"Hahaha, this son of a bitch is going to end up exhausting a lot of people."

"Hick...! Argh!"

The pagan who succumbed to the continuous shattering of Elise's shins squirmed his tears and began to vomit everything he knew.

In fact, they had a means of spleen.

It's a kind of suicide technique. It can curse the other person by inflicting evil magic and burning his own life.

However, it was completely blocked by Holly Silence.

What the pagans have endured so far is purely because they expected the effect of Holly Silence to be released after a while. It didn't work so well, and Elise's torture accelerated, so they opened their mouths.

"Okay, so where's your house? Where did the traffickers move them?"

"From the village... looking north... it comes out... I know, I know..."

"Uh-huh, yeah."

I think I should be guided by the location.

In fact, it seems good to know that.

"Now speak of your gods. What god did you serve, and what was it you were trafficking for? To offer a sacrifice?"

"..."

Strangely enough, when he asked about his god, he kept his mouth shut. It was that even if torture continued to be inflicted, there was no way to find out.

But on the other question, he cried out and answered.

"... that's strange."

It's strange, as Elise said.

"That's definitely weird."

The more I interrogated him, the more I knew where he was, the less sane he seemed. No, the pagans are out of their minds. It's natural without saying anything, but this was kind of weird.

"Argh...! Argh.. I told you everything..! I'll give you the location, so please stop... Daoc, Tulsordec... please stop..."

With this attitude, he uttered all things, and never opened his mouth to what the faith was really about.

"What god do you serve?"

"..."

"Can't you tell me you serve a god like a fucking dog?"

It's like you didn't understand the question, or you didn't hear it? I don't know. He doesn't recognize the question itself, or seems to be intentionally avoiding it.

"... mental manipulation."

Elise, who continued to observe it, said:

"You're most likely mentally manipulated."

"Mental manipulation? What's that?"

What are you manipulating?

"It's an evil trick to twist your mind so that you don't speak about special concepts or words. Forgotten magic... Those who knew how to use such magic were also targeted by the church. I was told that the last example that was used was also quite a long time ago."

Something like that?

"This looks like it. Of course, there are no means of recognizing…."

It's a technique that manipulates the human mind, and now it's exterminated. It looks like it's protruding out of here.

"Aren't you just acting?"

"It could be. I think we should do a little more interrogation first."

After all, we invested a day in magazines to torture pagans.

Once we got an approximate idea of their Node. But it's just him. He didn't know much, and never said anything about purpose or faith.

There are a lot of unresolved questions left, but Elise concluded that she had tortured herself and stopped torturing her. I also wrote it in the report.

In fact, I found out about the main purpose, the location, so there was no need for torture.

It was the most important thing.

"Elise. Now let's take these bastards and rob the stronghold."

We need to rob their homes as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer. If we find out, we have to move.

"Oh, I think we're about to leave, so call Claudie and Winia. I want these bastards on the wagon, too. I'll be with Captain Bakerell in a minute."

"All right, I'll get ready to go."

"Yes."

It was early in the morning when I came out of the barn.

Time is already like this.

I immediately went into the residence where the saints stayed.

Inside, the paladins were waiting, and I handed over the organized documents to Captain Bakerell.

"Well done, Paladin. I'm so sorry about this."

"Uh-huh, that's okay. Hit it hard enough."

Barquerel said he shouldn't be the one to be sorry. The paladins and priests searched the town from morning to night, and returned and stayed in the house as if they were rats.

"Yes, this is the content of the interrogation... I understand the situation. I don't know anything else, but since they threw up everything about the location, that's probably the most important thing. Then let's get going."

Once we couldn't bring the pagans and paladins together, we decided to put the pagans in our wagon and guide them.

There are two wagons anyway.

If we guide them in front of us, the paladins will follow behind us.

"Captain Barquerel. I'm just saying, you really shouldn't touch pagans. Those bastards need to be guided. You will need to be instructed in the specific location."

"Hahaha! Don't worry! You've already completed the training! To be honest, if Paladin hadn't stopped them, he might have killed them all, but he hasn't already!"

Bacquerel, who burst into laughter, knocked on my back.

"Rest assured, I've been constantly working on my mind to suppress murder!"

"Uh... yes. I will rest assured."

I went out there and got on the wagon.

Two frozen pagans and Claudie, Winia and Elise were on board first. From now on, I will compel pagans to guide me to the Node.

"Claudie. Winia. You didn't cause any trouble, did you?"

"Yeah, he didn't say a word."

"I'm not saying anything."

The two women looked at the pagan with indifferent eyes and replied as they shifted their gaze to my face.

"Yes?"

I'm not saying anything.

Certainly, he was drooling somewhere with his eyes loosened like a drugged man. I suffered enough for a few hours because my legs were completely broken, so it was natural for me to do that.

"Hey, pagan!"

"Yes, Yep!"

I called him, and immediately the answer came out.

"Why don't you say a word!"

"Well, you did it wrong!!!!"

"What? Wrong? Did you ask me if I was wrong?"

"No!!"

"But why did you do it wrong!! You have a fucking queer!!!"

"No!!!!"

Strange tattoos made me a very good military attitude on the subject of my face.

The torture that lasted ten thousand days changed his tenacity.

"Shut up because it's loud!!! Don't answer until you ask!!"

"Got it!!!"

Of course, they can lead us into a trap.

But I believe in the judgment of Elise. Elise, who has many doubts, but is a symbol of thoroughness, decided to stop torture and leave.

If so, fine.

"pagan. Start the guidance from now on. If you walk the wrong way, I will make you a body that can neither die nor live."

"Understood! Please go straight!"

The pagan began to guide the way without being a great navigator.

"Oh, Elise. But what about Holly Silence? Can we not do it anymore?"

"I asked the priests, and they answered, 'It's okay. The pagans will not be able to use any magic for the time being."

"Uh-huh, that's it."

Then we headed to the home of the pagans.

In fact, it was a kind of branch rather than a home. More information could not be extracted. Of course, I couldn't figure out why I only called the branch's location without saying anything else.

- The identity of pagans has been veiled to this day.

I thought maybe it was because the members were manipulated like this son of a bitch here.

I don't know what it is, but mental manipulation can overcome torture... I can't help but imagine. If there was such an advanced technology, it would not have been possible to make a human into a monster.

Maybe even their faith came from manipulating the mind?

Only suspicion deepens.

Well, let's think about what we don't know at this stage.

Let's move now.

* * *

"Hey, this is it...! Here, we have our branch..."

- Coloccoloc!

In less than two days, pagans have become weaker. Every time he coughed, a distant smoke gushed out.

Is it a sign of death?

It doesn't really matter. If this is the case, there's no more value.

And as he came, the other one ended up dead.

"Uh-huh, yeah? You don't think so, do you? If you hit the gura..."

"Hi-yeah...!!"

As he whispers in his ear, he drops his whole body and starts to drool.

"Enough! Gmaaan...!"

The prolonged torture destroyed his mind.

- Stammering.

He trembles like a vibrator, stabbing his legs like crazy. Was it so frightening? Then it's a decision.

"I'll do 'shin' again."

"Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Uh-huh, isn't that right?"

"Yes! It's not a lie!!!"

"Okay, okay! Believe me, my pagan friend! Let's get off!"

Then we took the pagan and took off. The pagan, whose legs were completely broken, could not stand, so he lowered with my help and barely laid down on the floor.

"Captain Bakerell!! You have arrived! Please get off!!"

"Got it!!!"

The paladins and priests also got off the wagon.

"Hey! Where's your house?"

"Over there! Over there!!!"

"I don't see it."

"The entrance is sealed!"

"Guide me!"

The frozen pagans crawled like larvae and began to move forward. What was seen in the front was a large mountain range. I speculated it was a mountain that was as bounded as I was on the fog plains.

"Glug...!"

Captain Barquerel, Crusaders, and Priests were all breathing with a distorted face.

"Let's go."

Slowly follow pagans who are growing like larvae, paying attention to traps. Fortunately, the paladins had no seizures.

"This is it!"

It's been about 20 minutes.

I could find the entrance to somewhere.
