Chapter 589
“It’s a difficult job. Actually, I was going to burn it with fire…”
When Nigisor spoke seriously, the friends next to him were startled.
“Isn’t it a bit like burning with fire?”
“that’s right. I’d rather have another advisor.”
What an interesting comment!
“uh?”
The students were slightly shaken by Oripulas’ admiration.
If it was the opinion of the devil, who had been serving as an imperial judge for 131 years, it was worth listening to.
“What about dropping it into the water?”
What a clever opinion!
“What about hanging it upside down?”
What a polite opinion!
Thanks to Oripulas’ support, the students came up with creative solutions without hesitation.
Lee Han, who was listening next to him, asked in a puzzled way.
“It’s all good, but can I do that to an innocent person?”
“Wardanaz is right. After all, if there is no way to tell them apart, it will be meaningless.”
Kainando, who was listening to the story, raised his hand and said.
“If you drop them both in the water, the fake might talk!”
“Oh hey, prince. Speaking of that… are you okay?”
“It will be fine.”
Lee Han slapped the back of the white tiger tower student who was tempted.
* * *
“Are you trying to fool the students?”
-okay. Join forces with the good citizens of the Empire here and hide your suspiciousness.
The Death Knight told the criminals they had brought in what they had to do today.
To trick students by mixing with the good citizens of the Empire.
That was what criminals had to do today.
“…??”
“????”
Of course, from the point of view of the criminals who were brought in, it was an absurd sound.
Is that why you kidnapped and dragged this far away??
The good citizens next to me also asked if they were embarrassed.
“Oh no, did you catch the real criminal? Is that okay?”
-haha. Of course it does. All actions taken today are permitted under Imperial law.
“What nonsense is this! You brought me here just for that?!”
-Do you not have the ability to learn?
The Death Knight laughed and waved at the young mercenary’s complaint as if he was dumbfounded.
Then the back door opened and the Death Knights dragged the mercenary they had just shouted at.
“no! No… Whoops! Aagh!”
A desperate scream came from the back door.
how long has it been
The returned mercenary was completely pale and trembled and muttered:
“Wrong. I will do my best. Wrong. I will do my best.”
-okay. everyone to do their best. Those who cheat well will be given extenuating circumstances, but those who are caught will be severely punished.
At the words of the Death Knights, the criminals swallowed their saliva.
What I had to do seemed light and funny, but what happens when I fail at it is never light.
I can’t even guess what will happen if it fails!
‘Still, it can be rather fortunate.’
As the fear and bewilderment faded, the mercenaries and adventurers with thick bones quickly put their heads together.
Fear aside, this wasn’t the worst thing.
Wouldn’t it be much better to fool the ignorant students than to become a warlock’s test subject?
-ruler. wait here There are students over there, so don’t talk nonsense.
As soon as the Death Knight finished speaking, he heard the students talking from the other side.
-Isn’t it a bit like burning with fire?
– What about dropping it into the water?
“……”
The faces of the criminals turned livid.
Horrible rumors about wizards suddenly resurfaced.
* * *
Don’t fret too much. wizard In fact, it’s a much safer test than the last one.
“I do, but…”
Professor Rosine crossed her arms and cast a glance.
“It’s not an easy test again.”
That is also true.
Oripulas answered coldly.
Previously, I supported the methods the students came up with, but in fact, those methods were very limited and difficult to use.
Such an interrogation method that was close to torture could be used only when the suspect was clearly known, but could not be used carelessly when there was no information.
‘Old man! Please dive into the water to find out the truth!’ Even a student of Einrogard could be slapped on the cheek.
“Let the test begin!”
Kainando walked over with a nervous expression.
Then two Imperial citizens entered from the opposite door.
“hello. Mister Wizard. I am Ubal, who runs an old bookstore in Ilaynas City.”
“Hello, it’s Rain. Mr. Mabeomsa. I am Kilbedek, who runs a general store in Deep Trail Village.”
Observing this, Oripulas clicked his tongue.
Kilbedek’s mistake caught his eye.
It was good that he boldly threw out the truth rather than clumsily changing his identity, but he was nervous and stuttered.
Fortunately, the student didn’t seem to notice that.
“An old bookstore general store. An old book store, a general store…”
Cainando, who was thinking carefully, said to Professor Rosine.
“I think Mr. Ubal is suspicious.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Don’t all those who sell books have twisted, evil souls?”
“……”
“……”
Ubal and Professor Rosine were at a loss for words at the same time. The professor apologized with tears in his eyes.
-sorry.
-it’s okay. haha.
Kilbedek thought it might be a trap, so he carefully defended himself.
“I don’t think the people who sell that book are like that. There are many good people.”
“Oh… defending a competitor… something a criminal wouldn’t do…”
“Oh no.”
Ubal was perplexed.
‘Should I defend myself more aggressively?’
Seok-
suk- Gainando sat down like a detective and took notes seriously with a detective-like face.
Oripulas, who was watching from the side, asked a question.
How about using magic?
“Shh. Mr Oripulas. Please do not interfere with my reasoning.”
Ugh… I see.
“And drowning them both seems a bit cruel when you think about it.”
yes!
Oripulas gave the boy in front of him a slightly higher score.
“So I will have a conversation. The loopholes will be revealed as we talk!”
It seems that there is a high possibility of just using magic… The only
weapon that Einrogard students who had overwhelmingly less experience than the other party had was magic.
Knowing in advance the suspiciousness of opponents you may encounter in everyday life through creative use of magic.
That was the goal of today’s test.
“Mr. Kilvedek who defended his rival.”
‘Is it a trap??’
Kilbedek replied nervously.
“yes.”
“What general store do you run?”
“Uh… I sell everything as it comes in. It’s a small town, so I can’t cover things.”
“Do you sell Empire magazines too?”
“Yes sometimes…?”
“Do you also sell the Toberiz series?”
“Oh yes. There are people in town who see it.”
“How much is each book?”
“Five fairy tales… aren’t they?”
“Hmm.”
Gainando wrote ‘Kilbedek +50 points’ on the memo.
“ruler. Mr. Ubal, who runs an evil old bookstore.”
“Not the evil old bookstore…”
“Tell me about the old bookstore.”
“My old bookstore is located in the most beautiful city in the Empire. In the evening, you can see the sunset and the setting sun spreading over the western sea, and when the songs of the returning sailors spread like the sound of temple bells…”
Kainando wrote in a memo, ‘Ubal -50 points. Excessive appeal to emotions’.
Then I suddenly realized and asked.
“for a moment. Mr. Uval. Isn’t the city of Ileinas near the Valdrogard?”
“you’re right. haha. The Waldrogard students often come to play.”
“……”
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Guinando’s quill moved like crazy.
Contingency -5000 points (Waldrogard spy!)
* * *
“I made some tea while I waited because I was feeling thirsty.”
Priestess Cyana came in with a teapot and teacup.
Ubal and Kilbedek, who were waiting, were moved by the goodwill of the student in the priestly uniform.
“Thank you for this.”
“Thank you very much. Priest.”
Unlike Ubal, Kilbedek, who had to be tense several times over, was particularly heartwarming.
There was still a ray of light in this hellish and hideous magic school. Those were priests who served God.
Kilvedek sipped his teacup, thinking that he should have visited the temple a little more often when he was in town.
“Did you finish?”
“yes.” “yes.”
“ruler. Then who is the criminal?”
Priestess Cyana crossed her arms and asked arrogantly.
The two of them blinked their eyes in bewilderment at the drastically different attitude.
uh…
huh?
“Tell me quickly. Mr. Uval. Please answer. If you don’t answer, you’re guilty.”
“I am not me.”
“next. Mr. Kilbedek.”
“I… gurrurr.”
The tongue of Kilbedek stuck to the roof of his mouth. It was as if his body had been altered so that he could not lie.
Seeing that, Priestess Cyana kicked off her chair and jumped up and down and shouted.
“I was fooled! I was tricked!”
“That Siana student…?”
Professor Rosine asked in a shocked voice, and Priestess Cyana jumped up one more time before landing and adjusting her clothes.
“sorry. professor. I am so excited.”
Uh… Are you a priest?
In response to Oripulas’ question, Priest Cyana lightly skipped over it.
“As expected, you deny priests like a devil, right?”
No, not like that…
“Professor. I’ve already put the anti-lye potion in a teapot. It was a potion with a very astringent taste, so it couldn’t be fooled unless it was disguised as tea.”
“…It’s great! Siana student.”
When Professor Rosine, who came to her senses belatedly, shouted, Sianna greeted with a very proud expression.
After that, after solving all the remaining problems, Siana walked out of the exam hall with light steps.
Only then did Oripulas open his mouth.
oh wizard Can a priest do that? A little different from the priests I know?
“I always support and support students’ changes.”
That’s not a level of change… Cataclysm… No…
Oripulas was very taken aback.
I didn’t expect the priests to play tricks so aggressively and be excited about it again.
‘Are you saying I’m lagging behind because I’m a demon who was summoned too long ago?’
While I was thinking about it, Bartrek came in with a teapot.
It’s a good idea if you put a confession-type potion in it, but it won’t work because all students have already used it.
“shit! You’re the Wardanaz guy!?”
* * *
After the guests and the criminals were exhausted from all sorts of methods (one criminal was attacked with a heated iron rod), Lee Han’s turn finally came.
said Oripulas, amused by the criminal who had just been burned with a hot iron rod.
I am a promising student, but it must be difficult because my turn is the last.
Professor Rosine nodded in agreement.
The more tired people are, the harder it is to find out the truth.
When both of them were exhausted, it was difficult to tell whether it was because of tension or simple fatigue, and even if they tried to use foresight magic, they made frequent mistakes, and when the information was contaminated, the accuracy dropped.
In addition, there was a high possibility that many of the methods that the first students tried would no longer work.
Criminals are also very desperate.
“hello. professor.”
“Come in!”
As Lee Han walked, two people entered from the opposite side.
Seeing this, Lee Han immediately stretched out his finger.
“Isn’t he a criminal?”
Amazing! How the hell!?
Both Oripulas and Professor Rosine jumped to their feet in surprise.
How did you find out as soon as you came in?
