Trinitas Mundus

Around 2 p.m. on April 10.

To the east of Fort Toa, the Rays, who returned from Sokius, a demonic country, were detained by the commander of the fort, Viscount Benjamin Plummer.

Ray assumes to some extent that this will happen, and Ashley and Stella have no rushing colors either, and honestly follow Plummer's instructions.

But there was only one miscalculation.

That means Ray, who was going to convince me, was set up with a monkey, and I can't talk to him.

Plummer had heard that Ray was such a good magician that he defeated dozens of orgasms that he feared that magic would be used and treated him not to cast a spell. That turned out to deprive Ray of the opportunity to explain.

(You're going to taste bad. Best I can explain... I think it's ok because Ash and Stella have a good explanation so there's no contradiction either, but when unexpected questions come along, you'll be confused, and I might get bored...)

This time, Ray was trying to explain it in the following scenario:

They followed Luna to Kwaedam Tenebre, but the Aquila Mountains in the middle of winter were tougher than imagined, and although they managed to cross the Aquila Mountains, the Devil Clan's vigilance was as harsh as they thought.

The demons who captured Luna decided to head east and pursued them, but the land of the demons was so harsh that it was called "eternal darkness (Kwaedam Tenebre)". He was attacked by distracted lands and powerful demons he had never seen, and lost his people. We tracked him down even as we lost company, but returned because of the scarcity of supplies we brought in.

The important thing about this scenario is that you're not lying. A demonic prop orb that shows its identity breaks the contract at the time of creation and that fact is recorded. There is no doubt that we will look into the orb in this interrogation, and if you are vomiting an obvious lie, there is a chance that you will have that reaction to the orb.

Most strictly speaking, this assignment is part of the mission of the Demonic Pursuit Team, but it is not based on a clear contract. For this reason, it is unlikely that you will react to the orb even if you give an ambiguous answer, but there is no denying the possibility that you will react to the orb if you vomit a clear lie when asked about information about the Demon Nation.

For that reason, he had decided to take the answer, which he could most successfully and ad hoc, but the thought had been removed.

his worries elsewhere. Ashley and Stella were natural.

Neither of us did anything to the detriment of the countries of the West, and on the contrary, we believed that the gods would protect us because we were about to go in the right direction for the world.

Though their thoughts are natural to humans in this world, they can also be considered sensible in thinking about a system called the Orb. The orb works by swearing to the gods that they will keep their covenant, and they did not expect to see any detrimental information in their orb, which is dedicated for their former tightening, the gods.

Seyce and Nuebe, the beastly slaves, were even more special. They are only adhering to the orders of Maggioni Gastaldi, bishop of the Light Divinity, and as long as they follow the orders of the Light Divinity, they will not react to the Orb no matter what they do.

Each was imprisoned in a separate cell, but Ashley is first drawn to interrogation.

There was also a line of tools for torture in the room where she was taken, but the audacious Ashley never moved one eyebrow.

Where she was seated in the chair, the plummer that was behind the soldiers came forward.

"As I'm sure you've already noticed, we don't have Lord Hamish Markat here. Even if you are Lord Markat's son, neither I nor my country will take it into account. Ask on top of that, what happened in Kwaedam Tenebre. I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm gonna use the tools right here to get you to talk."

I know you're going to make it awesome, but Plummer was a middle-aged man with a bald head and a small fat body shape, and Ashley, a mercenary in the war, didn't even have the perception that he was making it awesome.

"Of course, let me tell you everything I know. Because this is natural as someone who has fought the Demons."

Plainly so said, Plummer gives a hard look to convince. Neither did he think Hamish Markat's daughter would be frightened, but he thought he'd be somewhat nervous if she was just a little over twenty.

When Plummer managed to hide his confusion, he ordered his men's knights to start interrogating him.

"Get started. Don't give a shit if you're a woman"

The knight was one of Plummer's children's men and began interrogating them as they were told.

"First of all, it's about what we did in Kwaedam Tenebre. You followed the Demons after you left the fort, but why did it take so long? I thought you tied hands with the Demons and waited until they were ready!

Suddenly the interrogation began in a harsh tone, but Ashley talks about the content of the meeting flat.

"It took me so long to get here because Aquila was in danger. As your lords know, that mountain is full of danger. At the time of departure, however, there was not even information about the general topography, rather than the map. It is an act that crosses deep valleys and cleaved ridges and hides itself from more demons..."

Her answer did not come to pass, nor did the knight questioning question. Still, I kept asking questions one after the other.

The interrogation lasted for about an hour, but Plummer was also unable to find any suspicious points.

(There's nothing strange about it. I threatened to torture him, but if you hang Markat's daughter on torture, it would be an international problem. There's nothing I can do without Alberic, but if it's a problem, I'll be dismissed...)

Plummer had information from the mercenaries that Ashley was cordial with the Duke of Braveburn, a heavy town in the Kingdom of Lax, and with Count Rockletter, the Knight Commander. Furthermore, the fort houses Alberic Auger, deputy secretary of the Mercenary Corps of Markat, who warns against the possibility of developing into an international problem if subjected to torture in the absence of clear evidence.

"Alternate with the next. Bring in a beast named Stella."

Ashley realizes that the interrogation is over and appeases, but Stella may be hung for torture and issues a warning.

"Tell the Commander that Stella is also a member of the Mercenary Corps of Markat (Red Arms). I also have an understanding with His Excellency the Duke of Braveburn and His Excellency the Head of the Rockletter Corps. I don't think they'll do anything absurd, but I'll tell them just in case."

Ashley was nursing that Plummer was a cautious, uppermost type of person. For this reason, the name of the authority is given and restrained to the extent that it is not a lie.

"It doesn't matter! This is important not only for our country, but for all the countries of the continent of Tria!

Slightly excited, Ashley just said "If only" and left.

The remaining plummer is stabbed with a nail by Ashley and flashes. He was trying to torture Stella and force her to extract her testimony.

(Ray Arklight is such a man that he made Hamish Markat his successor that Lord Braveburn told him that he could let him inherit the Earl's house. You can't hang him poorly to torture him and give birth to "Atsuki" with the Kingdom of Lax. Same goes for Ashley Markat...... I hear the Beastman slave chooses to die if hung up on torture. So I thought I'd pull some info from my daughter named Stella...)

But he decided to ignore that warning.

(If we even grab the evidence, we can justify it. It's not hard to let one teenage little girl crack her mouth, though. Now is the time for a bad mouth to profit...)

He stared at the door where Ashley had left and thought so.

As soon as Stella was summoned, the interrogation began.

The content is the same as what went to Ashley, but its intensity was not comparable.

"We know you've sold your souls to the Demons! If you don't open your mouth honestly, I'll ask your body!

But Stella only speaks the same thing as Ashley.

Plummer was slowly starting to rush.

(This girl seems to be strong, too. But if you make him plead guilty as soon as possible, that man moves. You have to let me crack your mouth at anything before that happens...)

Plummer was alert to Alberic.

I initially thought to the extent of Hamish's extra to Alberic's floating attitude. But besides his thoughts, he is good at mastering the hearts and minds, and he is intimate with the soldiers of the fort.

It wasn't just that, it felt like a bottomless creep to him. I wish I wasn't afraid of the powerful, but I felt that I might have something else.

(That man has some secrets. No matter how many amazing mercenaries you are, you can't act confidently and carelessly as long as you have nothing. Maybe there's some kind of connection...)

Plummer had made me look into Alberic over the past three months. There is also a branch of the Mercenary Guild here in Toa, where we hear from branch managers and officials.

Neither did the Branch Managers know more about Alberic, but they found it to be half legendary as an ally of Hamish Markat. I looked into it using my own handwriting on it, but I only know that there are many mysteries, including his origins.

(In the end, I could only grasp that I was from Sartooth and that I had been a mercenary with Markat since I was young. I didn't even know there were rumors about where I came from......)

The lack of information was causing great anxiety for Plummer. He gets strong as if to hide it.

"She's a strong daughter. Hurt him a little!," Plummer ordered.

His men's knights hesitate to commit torture against their young daughters, but they were unable to defy Plummer, the supreme power of this fort, and reluctantly obeyed him.

The knight strikes down Stella's back with a whip made of rough rope with a number of knots attached.

Basin! The fierce noise echoes the cold wall of the interview room. But Stella never raised one groan.

"Spit it out! If you're conspiring with the Demons, spit it out!," he shouted, swinging the whip down again.

"I'm not conspiring with the Demons. Same goes for Ray and Ashley."

Repeat that without changing one expression.

Plummer, the cautious, could not see the act of torture, only told his men to "continue" and left the interview room. The remaining men had no choice but to whip and continue interrogating.

About two hours later, Plummer returned to the interview room again. I thought if I had all this time, I would be testifying in my favor.

When I entered the room, I saw Stella tearing her clothes and bleeding from her back. I could imagine that although my hair was disturbed and my breath rough, I still hadn't cracked my mouth because of how my men were doing.

"You still don't break your mouth... you ruthless bastard," he mutters, "but you don't have the guts to keep seeing that tragedy," call a healer. I can only kill him because he doesn't have an ex or a child. "

Upon completion of the healer's treatment, he ordered another interrogation.

"If you're going to be any stronger, I'll do the same to Arklight."

When Plummer threatens, Stella looks up.

"If you do that, you're done. That one is famous enough to be in poetry as a" white warrior ”. If you torture someone like that, Lax and Periclitle won't shut up."

This situation was also within Ray's assumptions. He didn't think he was going to torture either, but he assumed he was going to hang some kind of threat.

Stella, who has no backshield, was particularly targeted, and she was told that there could be a danger to Ray when threatening her. And if he had come up with his own name and threatened me, he would have come up with the name of Lax and Periclitle and told me to threaten him back.

(Lady Ray was right... and it's a hand-warming torture. It was so much harder to train inside...)

Where Stella grew up was a training agency for the Beast Slave Squad known as the "Ri”. There he also assumed that he would fail to infiltrate and be tortured, and was trained to do so.

They have been given more than a certain amount of pain, where they have become intolerable, and taught how to endure their own lives. As part of this, he was made to experience torture and was taught limits along with increasing his tolerance to pain.

The torture of the soldiers in the fort, who were only amateurs, was painful for her, but not unbearable.

Of course, he also makes efforts to reduce the suffering inflicted by performing painful acts and inviting sympathy.

"Reduce your mouth... keep going until you break your mouth! But keep the healer waiting so he doesn't kill you."

The knights bow their heads, "I understand," but were inwardly invisible. They're convinced Stella hasn't lied in the last two hours. I was even beginning to have respect for her for continuing to endure so much more pain.

The interrogation took place thoroughly at night. Plummer shows his face several times, but could only order him to continue.
