Tracking (Part 2)
Chapter 146:Tracking (Part 2)
When Tsah regained consciousness, there was a tingle in the back of her neck.
Damn, these women are tough.He opened his eyes and tried to move, and found his hands firmly tied behind his back, his feet tied to the legs of the two chairs.
“He’s awake,” came the woman’s voice from his ear.
“Your name?”A man came up to him and took his chin, "I advise you not to lie, or tomorrow you will be a corpse in the moat."
Tsa blinked, the woman wearing a veil on her head, her whole body covered in a robe, apparently did not want to be seen by herself.
“Tassa.”He answered truthfully, while quietly looking around.
It was a narrow room surrounded by dusty plaster statues, done and apparently half carved.The pile of dust stained the plaster with grayish-brown, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.There were no windows in the room, no color, and no time could be guessed, and the only light source came from an oil lamp on the wall.
"From the Dragon Ridge to the Silver City, so tireless," the woman coldly said, "you see what we have?"
"It's not me looking for you, it's the helper who will come to you."
“What is the help?”
"I am a witch organization like yours, which I have been commissioned to spread the news."
"A piece of nonsense," she snapped, "I don't know where you heard the name, but the co-op will be far away in the seawind county of the east, and do you think that if you apply a name, we will believe it true?"The woman pulled a dagger from her waist - Tassa found that it was her own before, "I will give you one last chance, do not challenge my patience!" 」
“What I say is true!”He said in a repressed voice that he wanted to shout and dare not shout loudly, "They originally planned to go to the desperate mountains to find the holy mountain, but now they not only found the holy mountain but also settled in the border town, the demon's phage symptoms have disappeared, so they want to save more witches, I swear I did not lie!" 」
“Why did they find you?”
"Because I helped them, when a member of the Society was surrounded by the church's trial army, I helped her lead the pursuit."Their mentor’s name was Hakala, and Wendy and the books, and they asked me to come!”
The masked woman was silent for a moment, inserted the dagger into her waist, and walked behind him.Soon, Tsa heard the grumbling of the two men from behind.
The chick, he commented in his heart, that the two men were quite right, but the interrogation was completely a complete novice.
The interrogation is the most taboo to only give a choice, if there is no answer, it is easy to force the interrogator to the end - is it to kill or not to kill?If you kill, you lose the possibility of obtaining information, and if you do not kill, it is equivalent to not achieving the threat you personally say.This would seriously undermine the majesty of the interrogator, and the effectiveness of the next threat would be greatly reduced.
If he were to interrogate, he would certainly be tortured from the finger—and every time he lied, he would cut off a finger so that even if there was an error of judgment, it would not be a big problem.The threat of utterance can quickly collapse the enemy's heart, and it is difficult for untrained people to carry such interrogations.
They pretended to be a frightened look, so that the other party would doubt the letter, and exposed the fact that they were not capable of distinguishing whether they were lying.
The information of Hakalla, the Holy Mountain and the Concordance is all true and reliable, which will further strengthen the persuasion of their own intelligence.
Not long after, the masked woman appeared in front of him again, “When did they come to the West?”
“Two or three months before the month of the Devil, after the end of the winter, they returned to the town and claimed to have found the Holy Mountain.”
“How many of them are there?”
“Forty years?I don't know, except for Hakalla, the other witches hardly appear," Thasa decided to add a little more chips, "the snake devil Hakkara, have you heard?"Her ability is to summon the magic of the serpent, there is a kind of "nothingness" that can quickly relieve any poison, which I have seen with my own eyes, which is very magical.
“Are you afraid of witches?”The woman’s voice seemed doubtful.
"Why should you be afraid, the witches who help the meeting are very... beautiful, and not the evil beast with claws, and they have not hurt ordinary people."If I were afraid, I wouldn't have gone so far to help them spread the word.”
“If someone goes to the border town, how do I contact them?”
"Some of them can perceive magic, and when the witch comes there, they will naturally find it."
“Shamer, what do you think?”The masked woman looked up behind him.
"I don't know," hesitated the witch, known as Shadow, "and wait until her sister comes back before she makes a decision, she must know what to do."
“Good, too.”She nodded, looked for a clean chair, and sat down in front of Tusa.
“Who is my sister?”
"Guide," said the masked woman, whose attitude had softened a lot from her, presumably because she was not afraid of the witch, "she will take us out of here."
“Leave, where to go?”
They shook their heads and did not answer.
“You’re not a witch in Silver City, are you?”Tsa continued to ask, “Your accent doesn’t look like a royal man.”Yingguang City is very close to the king, so the residents here are proud to imitate the accent of the king's capital."
She paused for a moment, "I... come from the South."
Witches from all over the kingdom gathered here, and soon to be led away from the waysiders... Tsa thought, no doubt, that this was yet another witch organization, and that they were soliciting companions, just as they had done before the conference.But where are they going?
At that moment, footsteps sounded outside the house.
“My sister is back!”The shadow cheered, and as the wooden door creaked and opened, Tusa also held his breath in his heart.
“Is he the one who has been using underground channels to spread the word?”The voice of the newcomer is mature and steady, "Did you ask anything?"
"What he said seems to be true."The masked woman said the content of the inquiry and her opinion, “If he had not had a deep contact with the Cong, he would not have known so clearly.”
“Well, that’s true,” she said, passing by Tassa and standing before him.Unlike the masked woman, there was no cover on her face, her long black hair was almost like her waist, and her appearance seemed to be around the age of twenty-five, and the most interesting thing was her eyes - Tsa found that her pupil outer ring was actually golden, even if she stood in the backlight, she could see her eyes like a star.
Tsosa thought that he had seen many witches around His Highness, but the woman's appearance was still the best.There was a wound in her left eye that ran through her eyebrow bone, which extended down to her cheek.This scar not only did not destroy her beauty, but added a killing to her.From the first time she saw her, Tsa felt that the woman was a full warrior.
“If the Co-Assisting Association had really found the Holy Mountain, it should not have sent people to spread such news.”She shook her head, "This will only make the church smell, and if they don't leave the border town as soon as possible, it will be a great disaster."
“So... what to do?”The shadow asked.
"The ship will arrive at midnight today, and there are other witches on it, so you must leave."She said without hesitation, “I’ll escort you on board.”As for the co-assistance . . . the black-haired woman looked at Tasha, who had her eyes tied to her chair, and asked her to say hello to Tili, and told her that I would be late, and perhaps bring her more companions.
“Are you going to the town with him?”The shadow said in surprise, "But if this is a scam..."
“Then he will only kill himself,” she smiled, and her words were full of confidence.(Unfinished.
