"Hey, what are you doing...!

Diaz, captured by Illis (Rene), was forced to pull into an empty room nearby.

The emotions are occupied with more fear than perplexity.

Perhaps that is not fear of Illis (Rene), but fear that everything will go bankrupt.

Iris (Rene) takes out the short cane that was wrapped around his thigh and waves it.

"[Silent]...... Now you won't hear any leaks around this scene"

Any ambient sound is blocked. It's a small wrap for just the two of us.

I don't need this as an Illis (Rene), but it's a measure to reassure them.

"First before we talk. Look at this wand now. You see, I'm not a lady, I'm a shadow warrior, Iris.

I'll ask you straight in. Have you not flown the information inside this castle to Nightpython?

Diaz blacks and whites her eyes for too straightforward a question with no forward shaking or anything.

"Hey, what are you talking about..."

Diaz to melt together first. Maybe he thought he was just being sickled. Surely there is no proof.

But Iris (Rene) was reading the fear and guilt that swirled in him with the power of emotional perception.

Iris (Rene) kept staring at Diaz's eyes, wandering and uncertain.

Then he immediately turned up the sound and bowed to nearly 90 ° unlimited as he jumped in.

"... yes, yes, sorry!!

Always find out which one is the real lady and tell her to report it if asked......! They're taking my family hostage!!

- I knew it.

Which of the two Catherine ladies is real and which is fake. Persons in a discernible position are limited.

Katherine and Iris (Rene) take it for granted, later about the ladies who take care of them and the study and household training teachers.

I can always grasp authenticity if I get into that teacher and become involved in the study scene. Anyway, there's hardly a day for Catherine to take a break from her studies.

Nightpython suddenly awakened Diaz to academia for that reason.

I wanted to say I know about the hostages, and I also thought about the hand of appropriately hitting Diaz on this occasion and subjecting him to double espionage... no matter what you think, it's not something 'Illis' can say or do.

Now Illis (Rene) wonders what to do.

- But is this guy an insider in a rush?

...... hmm? Then I think you might want to pick someone in a better position. You know, Katherine or the waitress who takes care of me directly... you don't have to let her get involved like this to threaten the teacher...

Well, it's also possible that we didn't have a family that could conveniently be taken hostage... did they all?

"Why was it Mr. Diaz?

"Huh?"

"Take the hostages and make them listen."

I just tried to say it because I questioned it, but at that moment, Illis (Rene) sensed a burning fear.

This reaction is... something.

"I don't know... I don't know..."

"Is it true"

"What..."

"You really don't know anything, do you?"

The second time it broke fast too.

Diaz enters the dungeon form so that she can collapse off her knees already.

"Ah... but I'm sorry! I needed money for my family! So I've been doing so well, they suddenly...!

"... I mean, when I listened to what you said in gold and I was circulating information around the Count, you suddenly took my family hostage and waved me impotent."

Bouldering Iris (Rene), which means Diaz was spying on and selling information before the Count made his move against Night Python.

Feed them appropriately, keep them, and make them look for important information when they need to. After carefully taking hostages to avoid betrayal.

No matter how many forceful hands you say you have, it will be a hassle to increase the number of new insiders. A man of high loyalty is not going to betray his master and circulate information about lies as a double spy. Perhaps it would be more sensible to let a guy like him who was originally circulating information with gold do his job...

- It can also be used to detect lies. Is it with a real lie detector that it won't work against a plain liar?

It would be easier if it was always "Kill Me With Sword and Magic Yes Dead," but I can't say that there is no interpersonal negotiation or brainstorming exploration like this in the future. This power will surely help.

"And yet, how do you know...?

"Oh, uh... I was wary of anyone exploring the authenticity of me and the lady, and this was the kind of atmosphere that seemed to be hiding..."

"... Was I? The adventurer has a sharp feeling."

He seemed convinced, so Illis (Rene) laughed vaguely and misled without saying anything extra.

"Oh, what can I do..."

Diaz tells Walla that he is in a state of retreat.

"Uh, my personal opinion, why don't you just stay like this for one second? If you talk to the Count or make any strange moves, the hostages may be in danger."

"So... is that okay?

"I'm sure the Count will help you. They're crushing nightpython strongholds all over the territory now."

Iris (Rene) said a deceptive rest.

It was a baseless word, but Diaz looks just a little hoaxed when she realizes it might be true when she is told this confidently.

"... wow, right. Even though Illis is still a child, he's so calmer than me."

- No, he said he's calm because he doesn't care about the life of the lady or the life of the hostage.

I was impressed by Diaz, but I kept the truth in my chest that wasn't even Rokuro.

"Until the hostages are rescued, I think it's good to be told. I don't know what I'm talking about, but I don't think you can go after a lady just because you know the truth.

However, if something really unexpected is going to happen, why don't we talk to the Count... or something?

They might say, "Look at the gap and kill the lady," so I'll stab the nail for once.

"Right...... yes, thank you. I will."

"Now let's get back to work and study. There's no need to say anything else."

"I know. I won't tell you."

When Illis (Rene) solved the "silence", Diaz left the room again and again with a peculiar thank you.

On its departure.

Illis (Rene) uses simple wind magic with no chant and scratches off a few pieces of Diaz's back hair.

Diaz left the room completely unaware of it.

Iris (Rene) picks up the hair left on the floor.

And I laughed nigga.

- Okay, get your hair. There's nothing I can do if it's just your wife, but it's convenient if you mean the kids are being grabbed too. Because if you're a child who split the blood, you can chase him.

The magic of looking for people needs clues. Itchy items or parts of the body are commonly used in the person. If I had my father's hair, I would be able to find enough children.

Distance detection consumes a lot of magic, but the problem of magic can be solved if it is ritualized and shared by multiple people, and the Count would be able to gather that many magicians. Or Illis can do it alone.

The problem is if you have an Azito with detective inhibition magic in the middle of the wilderness or somewhere like a secluded cave. It's like saying 'I'm hiding something' if there's any detection inhibition in the city, but I don't know if there's any detection inhibition if you don't stop by.

In fact, criminal organisations and others often have eggs for emergency evacuation or hostage holding in such places.

... By the way, this is adventurer knowledge salvaged from the memory of Illis. It seems that the knowledge of the possessed person is a system that comes to mind if necessary. Knowledge once withdrawn is copied to Rene's head, but knowledge that was not withdrawn by the time it was released from possession will probably disappear from Rene.

- It's a hand that wouldn't work if Nightpython was cautious... would you just try it? If I could detect it, I'd be lucky.

I don't care about the hostages themselves, but if the Count were an undiscovered stronghold, we'd take another step forward.

"…" People Detection (Seekerson): "
