Chapter 211

Even if a traitor deserves to die, he won't be killed now.

A few minutes later, Losweiser withdrew her hand and let out a sigh of relief.

Leon then asked, "Did you just use some kind of memory-detecting magic?"

Losweiser took a brief breath before turning to look at Leon. "Hmm."

Leon shrugged, "Why didn't you use such a useful skill sooner, Your Majesty?"

"Because the magic that probes memories has many limitations and comes at a cost."

Losweiser reached out and lifted Maureen's chin, forcing Leon to see her face clearly.

She was somewhat dazed, her gaze unfocused, much worse than before.

"First, the principle behind detection magic is to forcibly inject one's own power into the magical circuits within the target's skull. This causes irreversible damage to the target's brain. If no effective memories are obtained from the target's brain, then the target will be completely unable to cooperate during subsequent interrogation. Therefore, detection magic is only used as a last resort during interrogation."

"Second." Qi

She withdrew her hand, and Maureen's head slumped down again. 9.

Her complexion wasn't very good either.

Looking at her, Leon opened his mouth, words of concern instinctively welling up, but when they reached his lips, they became less mushy. "Will it consume a lot of your Magic Power?"

But Losweiser shook her head. "Because it was a rapid review of the target's memories, I essentially absorbed everything Maureen had gone through in the past few years in just a few minutes."

Leon pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and managed to squeeze out, "Thank you for your hard work..."

Losweiser scoffed. "Finally, something pleasing to the ear, you idiot."

Leon blushed, recalling how he had just mocked Losweiser's poor interrogation skills, but now the Silver Dragon Queen was going to such lengths to help him get something out of Maureen.

The situation has changed dramatically.

After calming down, Losweiser said, "Constantine never told her about your human identity, so we don't need to worry about that anymore—"

She paused for a moment, then realized that her statement seemed somewhat inappropriate, so she quickly corrected herself, "You don't need to worry about that anymore."

Leon raised an eyebrow, keenly catching the key phrase in the Queen's swift change of topic. "What you were actually going to say was 'We don't need to worry anymore'... right?"

Losweiser: →_→

"Casmod, my Silver Dragon Clan's dungeon isn't here with me... here... um..."

Losweiser wanted to retort, but for a moment she couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe Leon's behavior.

Fortunately, General Leon was proficient in both literary and military arts, and possessed a wealth of knowledge. He immediately helped his beloved wife complete the second half of the sentence.

"This isn't the place for us to flirt, I understand."

"Go to hell."

Since Maureen doesn't know Leon's human identity, the couple really doesn't need to be nervous anymore.

After a few jokes, Losweiser suddenly became serious and added another crucial clue.

"Oh, by the way, Maureen has spoken with Constantine several times in person. From those conversations, it seems that... Constantine is not the only dragon king who has cooperated with the Human Empire."

Tomorrow, a new year, a new month, the unparalleled update mode begins!

Please, everyone, use up your monthly pass inventory on this last day!

"There is more than one Dragon King who cooperates with the Empire..."

Leon stroked his chin, frowning in thought.

To be honest, this intelligence should normally be quite explosive.

But after the last purge that exposed Victor, Leon became acutely aware of the darkness within the empire and the corruption of power.

Therefore, Leon wouldn't be surprised if even more outrageous information were revealed about this empire.

"Any specific leads?" Leon asked.

Losweiser shook her head. "Maureen was just a henchman of Constantine's, not even a pawn in this conspiracy. She was a very minor character. Constantine only mentioned occasionally that there might be other dragon kings."

"What were his exact words?"

"'Such a trivial matter could have been handled by those old fogies, why did you insist on making me deal with it?' I overheard Constantine saying this during a conversation with another member of the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan just as Maureen finished handing over the intelligence to him and was leaving."

Upon hearing this, Leon's eyes lit up. "So that means if we find the member of the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan who spoke with Constantine, we might be able to find other Dragon Kings who cooperated with the Empire?"

"That's true, but Maureen doesn't have any detailed information about the other person who was there at the time. Their appearance is very vague, and she didn't even hear their voice because she was in a hurry to return to the Silver Dragon Sanctuary and didn't stay with Constantine for long."

The newly ignited flame of hope was extinguished in an instant.

The expectation in Leon's eyes dimmed.

He leaned against the table in the cell, pondered for a moment, and then said quietly, "But at least we know there is such a person who may know more secrets about this conspiracy, so it's not like we've gained nothing."

Losweiser gave a tired smile; the side effects of the memory-detecting magic hadn't yet subsided. With her eyes half-closed and one hand discreetly resting on the edge of the table, she echoed Leon, "Yes, that's right."

"If we go to the territory of the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan, maybe we can find this person?"

Losweiser thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"That's probably not going to work in the short term. After the fall of a dragon king, the tribe will become very turbulent and unpredictable. And the dispersion of power means absolute chaos. Moreover, the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan is an ancient tribe that has existed for nearly ten thousand years, and its internal power factions are much more complex than those of ordinary Dragon Race."

"In addition, Constantine has been conquering cities and territories all year, accumulating so much hatred. You only killed him a little over half a month ago, and there are definitely a lot of people lining up to go to his hometown to seek revenge. If you go to find people now, you may run into some trouble."

Wang has his own way of thinking.

At this moment, Losweiser was trying to help Leon analyze the current situation from the perspective of the Dragon King.

And the analysis was absolutely correct.

Looking at the clear and bewildered expression on that stupid dog man's face, Losweiser knew that he hadn't considered this aspect at all.

But you can't blame him for that.

Why would a warrior who has fought on the battlefield be interested in understanding the power games played by those in high positions?

"You're right."

On such serious matters, Leon would never disagree with Losweiser.

Although the Dragon Queen is a bit cunning, her professional abilities are beyond doubt.

Being the Dragon King was just a job for her, and she happened to be a top-notch workaholic.

"But since the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan will become unstable in the short term, what if the person we are looking for takes the opportunity to slip away, or... dies during this power transfer?"

"Hmm... It's possible for him to escape, but since he's in a position that Constantine trusts so much, if he were to escape, it would definitely attract the attention of others, so it wouldn't be difficult for us to find him."

"As for dying in this power struggle... that's possible," Losweiser said. "But if that happens, there's nothing to regret. After all, even if the person who knows the secret dies, the secret still exists objectively, still there waiting for us to uncover it."

Look, this is what you call professional (leaning back on the sofa).

She extracted intelligence, found clues, analyzed the situation, listed all possibilities, and finally gave her Mr. Prisoner a pep talk as a preventative measure, providing him with a comprehensive "one-stop" service.

Leon pondered Losweiser's words. Her thinking was very clear, and her way of thinking as a dragon king was worth studying and learning from.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had taken Losweiser with him when he went back to the Empire to catch the mole... would he not need to look for any clues here now, but could have just quickly cleared the Empire instance?

If that's the case, then he, his master, and Rebecca, this Weak and Sickly Combo, and disabled people, will have to change their names.

Change it to "the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant".

However, this was just something he would think about later when he was amused by himself; Leon knew it was impossible.

If Losweiser were to go to the Empire, it would be more than just a matter of 'risky'.

"Alright, let's wait a while before digging for clues from this person," Leon said.

"Um."

The couple took one last look at Maureen.

The magic had damaged her brain, leaving her dazed and confused.

Fortunately, they had already obtained the intelligence they wanted, and this seemingly harmless but actually dark and cold-hearted traitor was no longer of any use.

Neither of them expressed any emotion towards her, not even a hint of mockery.

Any emotion directed at a treacherous person who has abandoned her people and beliefs is a waste of time.

The two left the cell.

However, after taking only a few steps, Losweiser suddenly felt dizzy, lost her footing, and fell backward.

Fortunately Leon reacted quickly and gently supported her waist.

A large, slightly cool hand supported her, and her first thought was, "Should I lie down a little further and see if this bastard can still catch me?"

In the past, the Silver Dragon Queen would have panicked and stood up, then tried to convince Leon that she was alright.

How could I ever have such a rich and interesting inner world as I am now?

Hiss--

Broken.

Don't even mention it, they really do look like a young married couple.

Are you alright?

Leon's voice pulled Losweiser back from her reverie.

She straightened up and shook her head. "It's nothing, just a side effect of the detection magic. It'll be fine in a bit."

"Okay... you've worked hard."

This was the second time in ten minutes that he had told himself he had worked hard.

The Queen smiled knowingly and muttered to herself, "At least you have a conscience, you fool."

General Leon's straight-man soul was struck head-on by a coquettish "idiot," causing him to tremble three times.

He quickly withdrew his hand from Losweiser's waist, looking away sheepishly. "I've always had a conscience."

Losweiser crossed her arms and looked at him, instantly becoming playful.

She glanced at the surrounding cells, and a mischievous thought immediately surfaced in this Queen mind. "But my conscience can't help me relieve my worries. You know, seeing so many memories in one go is exhausting for both body and mind."

Leon shrugged. "So what do you want to do?"

Losweiser chuckled. "Come with me, I'll take you somewhere."

Leon became alert. "What... place?"

"The place where dreams begin."

After obtaining crucial information from Maureen, Losweiser did not rush to take Leon away from the dungeon.

To be precise, they didn't leave the entire dungeon. (Chess)

They walked through the prison corridor and arrived at another area. Guilt

Although the cells all had iron windows, iron doors, and iron bars, Leon keenly noticed that all the cells in the area were empty.

The area where Maureen had just been was where dozens of Dragon Race prisoners were held.

Seemingly noticing Leon's confusion, Losweiser explained, "..."

"This is the area where foreigners are imprisoned." (Quan)

Leon paused, muttering to himself, "Imprisoning foreigners..."

The Silver Dragon Clan is not warlike and never actively attacks other Dragon Race or foreign races, so it's normal that this area, which is specifically prepared for foreign prisoners, is not crowded.

But why did she bring me here?

Although Leon wasn't quite sure what the Dragon Queen was up to, his intuition told him it probably wasn't anything good.

As they walked deeper into the area, Losweiser said, "Do you know which was the largest war the Silver Dragon Clan fought against an outsider in recent years?"

"Which one?" Leon asked instinctively.

"Human Empire Dragon Slayer Army invasion battle".

Well, he shouldn't have asked.
