Dekan Was Getting Ready to Pull Another Sneaky Move

Having extracted information from this prisoner, Dekan prepared to deceive another prisoner.

If the two prisoners' confessions are largely accurate, then the intelligence is probably correct.

Of course, just to be on the safe side.

We can also use the "Little Sunflower Mom's Truth Serum" that he co-produced with Mie to verify it tomorrow.

However, this medicine is only highly effective when the enemy's spirit is severely weakened by torture.

Otherwise, the enemy could also use their willpower to forcibly resist the hallucinatory effects of the potion.

"Brother Lampard, I'll give you two doses of the potion when I get back later. Could you please have someone interrogate these two prisoners again?"

Dekan looked at the lord and said.

"Okay, no problem."

Lord Viscount Lampard nodded solemnly.

Originally, neither Dekan nor the lord had any intention of conducting an illegal interrogation.

But now we've reached this point.

Even if it means completely ignoring the rules and regulations governing the handling of serious criminals and prisoners.

They also need to thoroughly investigate this matter.

As for Dekan's promise that "prisoners will no longer be tortured."

Really.

Tomorrow's trial isn't going to be Dekan's.

His only responsibility was to deliver the potion to the lord, who would then send someone to interrogate him.

"By the way, what is this medicine? How do I use it?"

The lord suddenly asked.

Dekan: "Ah, it's Little Sunflower Mom's Truth Serum. The child always doesn't tell the truth, a beating will fix it. Tomorrow, have someone come and beat these two prisoners until they're delirious, then we can inject them with the potion and begin the interrogation."

Lord: "..."

He was reluctant to comment on the medicines produced by Dekan.

So you call this pediatric medicine?

The lord even felt that the fact that Dekan hadn't been imprisoned meant that the laws of the Norton Kingdom were too lenient.

Before long, the lord, at Dekan's request, took him to the place where another prisoner was being held.

The lord's face was ashen the entire way.

He couldn't wait to rush back to the Lord's Mansion that very night and use communication magic to request help from the Royal Capital.

But his reason told him that he needed to confirm and verify things first.

Otherwise, it would be hard for the Royal Capital to believe it.

After all, this is just too absurd!

Whether it's the mysterious plan to kidnap an eighth-tier master Card Crafter, or that seventh-tier epic spell with an unclear effect!

The outcome was as expected after the interrogation.

Aside from some irrelevant casual remarks, their statements were basically identical.

The Resurrection Church definitely wants that epic Spell Card with an unclear effect to enslave the Ice Princess!

"What should I do? What should I do, Dekan?"

The lord stamped his feet anxiously and paced back and forth.

It seems they don't know how to explain this to the Royal Capital.

Now he only has Dekan to rely on.

After all, all this intelligence was obtained by Dekan.

Only Dekan could fully understand the lord's predicament.

Dekan's expression, however, remained unchanged; he rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

"Don't worry, there's no need to panic."

Dekan smiled at the lord.

They seem completely unconcerned about the upcoming major moves by the Resurrection Church.

Lord: "If we don't go to the Royal Capital, it might be too late!"

Dekan: "No need to look for the Royal Capital."

The lord said somewhat excitedly, "I must ask the Royal Capital for help! Lady Ice Princess must not be harmed in any way!"

If the Resurrection Church is confident that it can abduct the Ice Princess even when Tristin City is fully defended, then the city's defenses will certainly be unable to stop the Church of Resurrection Church's forces from launching a surprise attack!

The lord felt as if a sword was hanging over his head.

The Resurrection Church could strike at his doorstep at any moment.

It could happen as soon as now, or at the latest within a week.

In any case, according to the confession, the arrest plan will be carried out in the next few days.

The lord was also well aware of the Ice Princess's importance to the Norton Kingdom, and the immense harm that would bring to the world if she were enslaved by the Resurrection Church!

In the worst-case scenario, besides the capture of the Ice Princess, the people of Tristin City also suffered ruthless oppression.

As the lord, he could not stand idly by and watch these things happen.

Dekan placed a hand on the lord's shoulder and said:

"If you rashly request aid from the Royal Capital, you will only alert the enemy and cause us to lose the intelligence advantage we have worked so hard to build."

"After the three hijackers went missing, the Resurrection Church should have been in a state of paranoia, fearing that the captives would reveal crucial information."

"The Resurrection Church has a more comprehensive intelligence network in the Royal Capital than you imagine. If you choose to request emergency assistance, they will detect the anomaly immediately and begin their operation ahead of time. By the time reinforcements from the Royal Capital are still en route, the enemy may have already achieved their goal and captured the Ice Princess."

"Give me some time to prepare. I guarantee the Resurrection Church's plan will fail, and I will find a way to minimize the damage to the city and its inhabitants."

After Dekan finished speaking, he released his hand from the lord's shoulder.

The lord's expression flickered with complex emotions as he looked at Dekan.

He thought Dekan made sense, after all, Dekan could claim to be an expert in dealing with the Resurrection Cultist.

"I trust you. Just let me know if you need any assistance, and I'll do my best to help you."

The lord's attitude remained as humble as before, but now it carried an undisguised air of devotion.

Believe in Dekan, and may you be safe and sound.

"If you're willing to trust me, then there's naturally no problem."

Dekan responded with a light laugh.

As long as you have key intelligence and time to prepare, the enemy is too easy to deal with.

This time, Dekan hopes to pull off something big.

The next day.

The mornings at the Havenlit Academy in the Royal Capital were as peaceful as ever.

Professor Arnold, the vice- Knight Academy and also the Dean teacher of Dekan's 1-A class.

After getting up, washing up, and changing his clothes in the morning, he headed towards the school building.

He bought a cup of coffee and a copy of the Norton Morning Post on the way.

"Although I'm quite worried about Dekan, there shouldn't be any problems for at least the next couple of days. If he really offends Ice Princess, then it'll be a day or two before things get really bad."

Professor Arnold comforted himself.

Even if he will likely have headaches in the future.

What's meant to come will come; there's no need to guess.

For the time being, let's try to live our lives in peace, at least for the next few days.

Let me see what's new.

He took a sip of coffee and picked up the newspaper.

However, the headline in the newspaper was --

"Thankfully, all members of the Resurrection Church returned safely after the hijacking incident."

"The Magic Airship was speeding; the suspect has been apprehended by Tristin police."

"Puff!"

Professor Arnold spat out his coffee.

He hurriedly flipped through the newspaper, forgetting for a moment to wipe himself with a handkerchief.

Even though Dekan's name wasn't mentioned in the title.

But Professor Arnold...

It's obvious without even guessing that Duoduo has some connection to Dekan.

"This is only the first day..."

Professor Arnold shook his head, utterly dejected.

He's already hesitant to buy tomorrow's newspaper.

Final.

Professor Arnold stuffed the newspaper into the trash can.

It doesn't matter anymore...

He felt that even if Dekan pulled off some unexpected moves in the next few days, it wouldn't affect his mindset...
