Chapter 744: The Gate of Roots

In the middle of the night, Joshua and Shirley ate and drank together at Queen Yekana's banquet and returned to the Hearthstone Tavern contentedly.

Clary and Monet, who had been waiting in the Hearthstone Tavern, finally received the treatment that prisoners should have, that is, interrogation.

Clary was brought to an empty room by the tavern attendants. There was only a long table and three chairs in the room, and a rough crystal lamp emitting dim light.

This kind of scene made Clary feel like she had seen it there.

Joshua was already sitting on the other side of the long table, and a female spell caster who looked like a recorder was sitting next to Joshua holding a notebook.

"First of all, my sister's name is Clary, and my brother's name is Monet, right?"

Joshua gestured to Clary to sit down, and Clary cautiously sat on the seat opposite to Joshua, then nodded to Joshua's answer.

"Then let me ask the first question. If I give you another chance to defect to the Demon Realm, my younger brother Monet will temporarily become a professional player, and my sister... I haven't figured it out yet. Anyway, I will give you a job." , let you have the right of personality, will you still serve for the Tribunal?"

Qiao Xiu resisted the urge to hiccup and tried to make himself a little more serious. He was too full to eat when he went to Queen Yekana's banquet just now.

"Absolutely not, Your Highness Joshua!"

"With this tone, is it the younger brother who is answering now?"

When Qiao Xiu talked with this chaotic demon in the players' lounge, he had almost figured out the general character of the siblings.

"If your question is serious and not a joke, my answer is no."

Clary made the emotional Monet temporarily shut up, looked at Qiao Xiu cautiously and said.

"It's so easy to instigate a successful rebellion..."

Ciri, who was in charge of recording the conversation, suddenly raised her head to look at the Chaos Demon.

"Is that all you Inquisitors do?"

"It's all like this?"

Clary heard the tone of the female spell caster, and she seemed to know several rebellious judges.

"Well... In fact, there are still a few former inquisitors working under me. Is it really okay for the Heresy Tribunal to review spies? If it was me who defected so easily to the enemy Spy fired."

Joshua suddenly started talking to Clary about the professional ethics of spies, which made her feel a little overwhelmed...

"sorry."

In the end, Monet, who felt ashamed in his heart, could only apologize softly for his sister.

"It seems to be a bit off topic. After all, I am not very professional in interrogation. You can go to the pre-employment inspection. The second question is why you joined the trial court?"

Joshua's words completely dissipated the tense atmosphere once again, and now Clary could no longer imagine Joshua as a swordsman.

There are also good people among the devils. Clary always scoffed at the motto taught by an old crusader before, but Joshua's performance made her believe it.

"The Inquisition of Heresy found the souls of me and Monet, and made us like this... so we can only be members of the Inquisition."

Clary chose to lie to Joshua here, and Joshua could easily make her and her brother disappear into this world.

Although it was very despicable, Clary had to gain Joshua's trust. This was the only way she could protect her brother.

When this thought was lingering in Clary's heart, she suddenly felt a pain like a needle prick in her mind.

This caused the Chaos Demon controlled by Clary to subconsciously fall on the table.

what happened?

Clary looked sideways at the eyeballs of the Chaos Demon's eyes and looked at Joshua who was sitting in front of her.

"I forgot to remind you, a friend helped me set up an interesting enchantment. The name can roughly be summed up as a spirit body lie detector."

Joshua showed Clary the mark of the Skeleton Lord in his palm.

"Qualified spies can pass the detection of this magic circle, but it seems that you have not been trained in this area." Joshua paused and said, "So next you have a chance to tell the truth, Miss Amateur Spy."

"Our parents were crusaders, participated in the Fourth Crusade, and then... never came back."

Clary clasped her hands tightly and relied on her own will to overcome the pain like a needle in her soul.

"So I also became a member of the Crusaders and wanted to take revenge, but...failed, and the Inquisition Chamber gave me a second chance." When Clary said this, the pain in her soul gradually eased, and she His gaze met Qiao Xiu's again.

"Your second chance seems to have failed too."

"..."

Clary clenched her fists and did not answer Joshua. She knew that what she said now might anger Joshua.

"The third question." Joshua didn't want to ask further, "How much do you know about the current Inquisition Tribunal? And their purpose..."

"The Tribunal has a large number of temporary strongholds in the Frost Kingdom, and the bishops gathered in the Frost Kingdom seem to intend to open something... called the gate of root."

Clary knew that this was one of the bargaining chips in exchange for her survival, so she could only tell Joshua everything she knew.

"Door?"

"The soul builds the door, the holy object serves as the key, and the roots become the battlefield, allowing the truth to come to this world."

Clary whispered a prayer that sounded very strange to Joshua's ears. The prayer didn't seem like a human language, but Joshua still understood the meaning.

"This is a sentence that appeared in my mind when the bishop fixed my soul in the body of this chaotic demon." Clary continued.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the interrogation room became dull, and Clary quietly stared at Joshua who was in deep thought.

"The Gate of Truth? Are you sure those bishops haven't read the manga called "Fullmetal Alchemist"?"

"I've only read the manga called "Big Cat Travel" on Monet."

Clary answered Joshua seriously, after all, she would be punished if she lied.

"I drew that."

Ciri took the time to create a comic on the immovable library. This world already had stories in the form of comic strips a long time ago.

Including some books with some illustrations, Shirley was recently told to practice oil painting by the man in purple, so Joshua suggested that she might as well connect these oil paintings into a story.

So Shirley combined his experience of surviving in the wilderness and what happened to Zenas to create a cartoon in which the evil demon traveled around the world for 365 days.

"You... are you the author? I have also read that cartoon." Monet suddenly intervened in the conversation at this moment.

"Monet!"

Clary interrupted her younger brother again, and the current atmosphere is not very suitable for exchanging topics related to comics.

"Strictly speaking, Big Cat Travel is the first manga on Monet, uh...it seems to be digressing again."

Joshua couldn't get any useful information after asking Clary.

"Let's stop here for today's interrogation. I have some things to deal with."

Just now, the Dark Elf sent a text message to Joshua. Judging from the content of the text message, Fuya seemed to have another nightmare.
