Ryan and his party followed the harpies as they slowly approached Biriga City, and then entered the city from a corridor. Although Biriga City is thousands of meters high outside, it covers an area of only It has a radius of hundreds of kilometers, but these are only a small part of it on the surface. The real Birag City is actually inside and underground of the mountain peak. This is somewhat similar to the dwarves' Black Stone City, except that the Black Stone The city does not have a defense system as strict as Bireg, otherwise the tieflings would not have been able to break through the city so easily.
After walking downward for about a minute in the corridor that was only for one person, Ryan and the others came to a relatively wide cave. There were many fist-sized holes in the surrounding walls, and sharp crossbow arrows. Poking out of the cave, full of silent intimidation, waiting for Ryan and his party in the cave were two magicians and a small group of fully armed warriors. The harpy whispered a few words to the leader of the warrior captain. In other words, the handover was completed, and then they left along the original road.
The warrior captain was a Rakshasa demon. He wore a set of armor made of Warcraft leather. The shoulder pad on the left side was a sharp claw, and the helmet on his head was the skull of Warcraft. This kind of outfit This made the Rakshasa demon warrior look much bloodier, but his voice sounded gentler and not as violent as expected: "Come over one by one and accept the detection of our magician. If there are no problems, you can go in. ”
Solaufen's current identity is the guard captain of the Djinn Chamber of Commerce, so she naturally has to be the first to stand up. She has already communicated with Ryan about this "detection of lies" spell before. It is a prophetic magic. After casting the spell, It can determine whether the subject is telling the truth, and the effect is similar to that of "divination" in soul spells. Of course, the principles of the spell are completely different.
Solaufen felt a little uneasy in her heart. She knew how powerful this magic was, and she was slightly worried about her performance, but of course it didn't show up on the surface. The two magicians were also great magisters, but they were still doing it. During detection, the recipient must let go of their mind, otherwise the spell will sound an alarm, so there is no need to worry that they will not be able to detect whether the legendary level expert is telling the truth.
A long list of spells slowly came out from the mouth of the dark elf great mage, and then a ball of light enveloped Solaufen. The latter felt slightly nervous in his heart, but unexpectedly, something suddenly appeared in his mind. Ryan's voice came: "Don't worry, I have already taken action." Solaufen was startled for a moment, then immediately woke up. She raised her head and looked at the dark elf who cast the spell, waiting for his question.
"Now is the time to test the effect of the spell. The first question is about your identity and what you are doing when you go out this time. Please tell me the correct answer." The Dark Elf Archmage said in the language of the Dark Elf.
Solaufen nodded and replied: "I am the guard captain of the Djinn Chamber of Commerce. This time I am leading the team to conduct the trade of the chamber of commerce, but I cannot say the specific route and trade content."
After Solaufen said these words, a green halo immediately surged around her body. The Dark Elf Archmage nodded and said: "To be honest, okay, second question, what did you eat last night?" What is it, please say the wrong answer."
When resting yesterday evening, Thorofen did eat some food. Then, because Ryan did not intend to continue to fulfill the contract, a conflict broke out between the two parties. Then there were only three people left in the entire Djinn Chamber of Commerce armed caravan, because there had been After receiving Ryan's secret instructions, Solaufen's mind moved quickly, so he tentatively replied: "Of course it's barbecue."
Solaufen's answer was correct, but the spell effect on her body suddenly emitted a red halo. This was all because the subject told lies when answering the question. The dark elf demon The instructor nodded again and said: "Lie, very good, then please tell me what is the correct answer to this question."
Solaufen was extremely surprised. She clearly saw Ryan standing nearby doing nothing, but she didn't know when he took action and affected the effect of this detection spell so smoothly and covertly. However, no matter what she said on the surface, But he showed an expression of unwillingness and replied bitterly: "We have been trying our best to escape without having time to eat. Several magicians in the team took turns to release flying skills, just to run faster. "
Solaufen's words were completely fabricated. Normally, the detection spell should emit red light to prove that what she said was a lie, but unexpectedly, Solaufen's body emitted a green halo. Obviously, that The magic took what Solaufen said as the correct answer. Seeing that there was no problem with the spell he released, and Solaufen did not make any resistance, the dark elf archmage turned sideways and said to the Rakshasa demon captain beside him. : "Okay, you can question her now."
The Rakshasa Demon Captain immediately came over and began to interrogate Solaufen. Perhaps because he was the first one, the Rakshasa Demon Captain interrogated him very carefully and asked a wide range of questions. However, Solaufen was originally in Hiei. As a dark elf who has lived in Gecheng for many years, these problems do not cause any hindrance to her. She speaks clearly and eloquently, and from time to time she corrects the mistakes deliberately made by the Rakshasa demon captain, and the halo on Solaufen's body is always It was green. This situation made the Rakshasa demon captain nodded with great satisfaction.
After Thorofen passed the review, it was the turn of her dark elf and Rakshasa companions. They also cast spells on the magician first, and then proved through a few simple questions that the spells were effective. The captain of the Rakshasa Demon repeatedly interrogated him, but of course he couldn't find out anything, because the subjects of these three interrogations were all real guards of the Giant Spirit Chamber of Commerce, and had lived in Birig City for many years.
But then Solaufen became a little worried, because the others were all fakes. If the Rakshasa demon captain asked some weird questions, I'm afraid they would betray the gang on the spot, but when Solaufen looked at When Ryan asked her, the latter gave her a bright smile, and then Ryan's voice appeared in Solaufen's mind: "The question that guy asked, just think about the correct answer in your head."
Solaufen's body froze slightly after hearing this. She had already guessed the methods Ryan used. It was obvious that everything she was thinking in her head was firmly grasped by the other party. This feeling was probably even more miserable than that of a slave who sold herself, at least. The latter could also curse the cruel slave owner in his heart, but Thorofen did not dare to even think of complaining. The cross-examination of Ryan began. As expected, the Rakshasa demon captain had tampered with the question. He deliberately changed a few question and also changed the order of the questions. At the same time, there are countless traps in it, which are difficult to guard against.
However, with Solaufen as a consultant, Ryan was able to cope with it quite easily. Through the mark left in the depths of Solaufen's soul, he could easily grasp her thoughts, and then use the correct answers provided by Solaufen to deal with it. The captain of the Rakshasa demon happily corrected the other party's deliberate mistakes at the same time. If Solaufen hadn't known about Ryan's coping methods, she would have doubted whether Ryan had lived in Birig City for a long time. a period of time,
It took the Rakshasa demon captain a full hour to cross-examine four people. From this, we can see how long and troublesome the questions this guy asked were. Just when Astarot was about to be cross-examined for the fifth time, Suo Lane's voice rang in Laufen's mind, and she faithfully performed her duties as a mouthpiece: "Hey, we rushed back in a hurry and worked nonstop for several days to gain time. We didn't do it just to ask you endless questions. Constantly, the losses of the Chamber of Commerce must be reported in time, and we must also take a good rest to prepare for future wars. I can say it beforehand. If the interests of our Chamber of Commerce are affected because of you, you will bear all the consequences."
"Hmph, why are you panicking?" The Rakshasa demon captain glanced at Solaufen sideways and asked slowly, "Could it be that there are spies hidden among your other companions, so you are afraid of exposing yourself?"
"Asshole." Astarot immediately yelled: "Are you looking for death? Why are you talking to our captain? We ran back desperately to report the news, but you treat us as spies. Is your neck itchy? Do you want me? Help you break it."
"Huh." As soon as Astarot said these provocative words, the Rakshasa demon captain's subordinates immediately pressed towards Astarot with their weapons drawn, and all the team members on Ryan's side also drew their weapons. She drew her weapon and stood behind Solaufen to confront them. The whole scene looked like a battle was about to break out. Solaufen smiled bitterly in her heart. It was too easy to deal with these warriors in front of her. She could easily kill all the opponents by herself, but No matter how weak the opponent's strength is, it means that in Birag City, once a conflict breaks out, they can only fight all the way to the teleportation magic circle at the bottom of the city.
Solaufen was worried in his heart. Why wasn't the Rakshasa demon captain worried? Once the battle broke out, he didn't know what the final outcome would be. But with the strength of the mercenaries in front of him, the Rakshasa demon captain could guarantee that everyone on his side would be completely dead. , and if the other party really has a strong background, this matter will end up being nothing more than compensation of gold coins. By then, everyone will be dead, and what's the use of more money
At this moment, Ryan suddenly spoke: "Okay, everyone, don't be like this. We didn't come back here just to fight." As soon as Ryan said these words, the companions on his side naturally retreated in cooperation. The tense atmosphere immediately disappeared. Seeing the people on Ryan's side taking a few steps back, the Rakshasa demon captain's face not only did not relax, but became more suspicious, because he noticed that Ryan was in this group of people. The status among people is unique, and as the captain of the guard, Thorofen should have this status belong to her, but now this female dark elf looks at him and behaves like Ryan's follower. This is really strange.
