"Would you mind attending the Knight Karodan interrogation?"
"Ooh, ooh. It would be a promise not to let anything happen to me. Master Prado is perfectly fine already, so do the rest ourselves. And I have to go to the temple on business."
"I was surprised that the Temple allowed us to use the" Truth Bell "lightly. What tricks did you use?"
"It's not a big deal, Cannel. I would have had my letter delivered to the Temple. That's what I wrote." With regard to the ill health of the medicine Saint Scarabeller, based on a study by my late father, Sarsfree, I detected the cause. Based on that knowledge, a scalabeller was treated by the practitioner Eda. If you allow me to use the bell this time, my therapist Norma will explain the actual treatment. "
"Oh my God."
"I'm the only one who can theoretically explain this. Even the temple should know more or less what happened. That's how you hear secrets from me. Not a bad condition."
"But can I tell you about it?
"It hasn't been stopped. It's not something you can hide in the first place, so I think you're in the process of adjusting how you communicate this information to temples around the world in Wangdu. However, if you hear from me now, the Temple of Kelles in Voca will be able to obtain information from the surrounding temples a month or a little further in advance. The most accurate information in the kingdom. It's great for the Temple of Kelles in Voca because we can circulate such critical information faster than information from Wang Du. I'm sure you can greatly enhance your authority."
"I'm afraid so."
Rather, it was a question of obtaining the lord's permission, but it came out light. Looks like you've certified Norma as a key figure by looking at the way you treat Norma, the Scarabelle mentor and the Armamir cleric. Norma's closeness to Lecan and Eda may also have influenced the Lord's judgment.
"Nevertheless, I didn't know all ten items were (true) judgments. Well, I didn't ring the bell, so I saved you one big gold coin."
When you activate the Truth Bell, specify the subject, and talk about something in front of it, the bell rings if the person you designated as the subject thinks it's a lie. If what you think is true, the bell doesn't ring. If it doesn't ring, I won't have used it and can use it again soon.
Using its nature, usually when using the bell, it moves from being unlikely to ring to being likely to ring gradually for a little more information. However, no more than ten questions at a time are decided in this town.
Once the bell rings, it cannot be used for a year, so if it rings, you have to pay one large gold coin.
This time, the first decision Norma prepared was "I know who stuck the poison needle in Prado Goncourt". Worst case scenario, if only this (true) judgment were made, Nilft could be tortured.
The tenth verdict is that "by order of Cassandra Bordolin, I killed Dops Goncourt and stuck a poison needle in Prado Goncourt".
Just because the first judgment was true, it would be a good reason to torture Nilft or to extract a statement with the spiritual magic of a cleric. But the testimony obtained through torture is weak as evidence in public, even if it is valuable information for this one. After all, nothing is more than a matter officially determined by the bell and proof of the temple. So after making the judgment to the tenth, I spiritually enchanted Nilft and washed out what I knew.
"I can't proceed with the interrogation of Knight Karodan, do you have any thoughts"
"Come on? That's your problem with Master Prado, not mine. It would just be nice to show you the certificate of this judgment and judgment issued by the Temple first, so that you can understand the position placed. And if you're not responsible for the assassination, and if you don't stick the knight Lord Karodan out to the Wazlov family, you'll feel a great sense of relief."
"The relief is that it's a grace and a loan."
"In this case, I think it's good for the future not to try to benefit directly and not to disproportionately punish the other person. Master Cassandra lost a pawn named Nilft. The Bordolins greatly reduced their influence over the Goncourt family. So be patient. I think the next time you do business with the Bordolins, you'll make a big concession."
"I don't think it hurts that much to lose one assassin."
"I don't think so. As far as the attitude of Lord Xandria and Lord Knight Karodan at the kinship conference is concerned, it seems to me that a secret detective named Nilft was in a position where Mr. Cassandra's trust was thick and shaped a line of judgment. Well, guess what. Losing a trusted man is nothing but pain."
"You are right. I didn't think enough."
"Did you kill Nilft?
"Yes."
"Right."
He was an assassin, but he was a man somewhere he couldn't hate. Nevertheless, when I returned to the Bordolin family, I couldn't possibly not have taken the blame for this nonending. Also, when you let that man go home alive, the resentment and anger of the cannels linger. And most importantly, Prado, who was murdered of his grandson and nearly assassinated himself, would never allow the executor to return alive, etc.
"Cannel."
"Ha"
"Are you satisfied?
"What?"
"Is your remorse clear?
"... I'm afraid so"
"If remorse clears up, resentment is to forget"
"Sometimes I'll never forget"
"Yeah. We have to remember exactly what they did. But if you get your hands and feet tied to your emotions, you're prone to misjudgment. So if you realize you're holding a grudge, it's good to just clear it up and get rid of your emotional lumps"
"Is that something you can do?"
"I wonder if you could have done that this time."
"Thanks to Norma"
"Give yourself a little credit. Okay, I'll be there."
"Welcome aboard"
The servants scolded him, and Norma rode the carriage with Zinger to the temple.
