Chapter 1144 66. Emerald Feather and Interrogation
Elder Ares snorted, but he is in Annan’s hands.
"I caught the murderer, so I will also sit in on his interrogation. Is that okay?"
Samael Yege and Elder Ares pondered at the same time. It's not that the conditions are too high. Not difficult, but too easy.
"We have no objection." Samael Yege agreed, but Elder Ares said nothing.
Annan turned back and signaled the elf captain to hand over the murderer to them: "Don't let any more accidents happen. The royal court will really become a laughing stock by then..."
Elder Ares wanted to refute, but Annan looked serious. It left him speechless and uncomfortable.
He could only ask the elves to take the attacker back to the Night Dungeon and keep him under strict supervision.
"How do you plan to interrogate?" Annan asked.
"Check whether he has any curse-like magic, and then ask Lord Jade to read his memory."
It seems that the elves are not that stupid yet.
But just in case, he still followed him the whole time and never let the attacker leave his sight.
The same goes for Samael Nightsong. By the way, he wants to mediate the relationship between Annan and Elder Ares.
"He has no ill intentions, he just solved too many ugly things."
But this cannot convince Annan: "Does he hate humans more than Elder Seran?"
"Ares's lover was kidnapped by a human monarch, tortured for several years and then starved to death in a dungeon..."
"Really?"
"A life span of a thousand years also means Thousands of stories and pain," Samael Nightsong whispered the lines of an elven poet.
Annan stopped talking.
The information revealed by Samael Night Song was very useful... so much so that when Annan saw Elder Ares again, not only was there no hostility, but there was also a trace of sympathy.
Elder Ares didn't know what happened during the brief separation, and he couldn't read the "Forget it, why am I still acquainted with you when you're like this" in Annan's eyes. He only felt that Annan's eyes made him uncomfortable.
"The Elders said that they understand, and Lord Jade is on his way."
The next step is just to wait.
The entire dark night entered a state of martial law. No outsiders are allowed to enter. Even Dark Night's own people need to be strictly vetted before they can come in. As for the area around the cell where the attackers were held, no one except the elders was allowed to get close.
Annan looked at the attacker wearing his own mage robe. After being knocked unconscious and sent to the dungeon, he received another dose of the sleeping spell. Without external force, he would not be able to wake up in a short time.
Late at night, an illusory elf dragon came to the solemn and dull dark night dungeon, spoke to Elder Ares in the pleasant elf dragon language, and then turned into a gorgeous feather.
"Master Jade can't come." Elder Ares caught the feather with both hands.
Annan couldn't help but said: "Master Jade is also a conservative?"
Elder Ares, who couldn't stand Annan's slander, counterattacked: "Master Jade is the elf dragon in time and the king. One of the greatest beings in the court, don’t slander Master Jade with your dirty thoughts!”
“I have no ill intentions, and I apologize if it makes you uncomfortable.”
Annan took the initiative to take a step back, which made Elder Ares, who had always been criticized by Annan, a little flattered, but he would not change because of Annan's attitude.
All humans are naturally malicious seeds, but they have not been exposed yet.
"How to interrogate next?" Annan asked again.
Elder Ares held up the feather: "Master Jade gave the feather, and you can use it to trace back the murderer's past."
"Then let's start."
Annan watched the night elf guards take the attacker out of the cell. On the other side, Samael Nightsong went to calm down Elder Ares.
"Annan's lover was captured by these attackers, and his life or death is uncertain..."
Elder Ares raised his head in shock and looked at Annan who was staring at the attackers, as if he saw My former self. When Annan looked at him with a strange expression, he looked away again.
The attacker was carefully carried out. Elder Ares slowly approached and gently placed the brilliantly radiant, dreamlike feather on his forehead. .
The colorful colors are released, forming an image that is more three-dimensional than the magic image.
"Feathers will replay the attacker's past experiences." Samael Nightsong explained softly.
Annan nodded, then saw himself and Leona appearing, carrying the attacker quickly back to a tree hole, taking off his magic ring and handing it to a black mouse.
Elder Ares subconsciously cast his gaze towards Annan.
"I suspected that the attackers knew each other's locations, so I asked the black mouse to bring a magic ring to draw attention."
"Why not take the opportunity to track down his accomplices."
"It's too late." Annan said, "No one knows how many accomplices he has. He is so greedy that hunters can easily become prey."
Then there is When Annan and the others caught the attacker, he was caught without any reaction. Samael Yege couldn't help but praise him as "beautiful."
The screen continued to rewind, and there was a scene where he appeared in the sky mirror like a phantom, sending the magic scroll and stone tablet to the bottom of the lake.
"Damn humans..." Elder Ares' expression became increasingly gloomy.
"Huh?" Annan looked sideways.
Looking back at the portrait, they finally reached the first point in time that they were interested in.
"Steward, you take over as the steward and continue to set traps to distract the elves."
In an unknown tree hole, a wind elf was talking to the attacker.
“As you command, King.”
The brief conversation ended and the screen went back again.
“Remember who he is.” Elder Ares told the elf guard in a low tone.
The steward, the housekeeper, the king... three attackers have appeared.
The most important thing is...the attackers used traps to distract the elves. What did they want to do? !
Elder Ares gushed out a strong sense of foreboding. The last time I felt deeply uneasy was when my wife disappeared...
The portrait began to trace back all the way, and this time it stopped at a parliament-like scene: eight figures standing in a tree house.
They are all in the form of elves, which means that eight more elves were brutally killed...
"Ridel!"
One of the figures made Samael · Losing one’s voice during night singing.
Annan looked with doubt.
"He was a member of the Dark Night, but he was also killed by the attacker unexpectedly..."
The duration of the scene will not exceed two days, which means that the attacker has actually been hiding between them.
Samael Yege shuddered, Elder Ares's voice was so cold that it almost froze the stream: "Find them..."
What the eight figures were saying, Annan wanted to listen hard. He understood what they were saying, but their voices became more and more distant and distorted. As a cold, emotionless vertical eye suddenly appeared in the picture, staring at everyone indifferently, the brilliant colors were suddenly squeezed out of the attacker's forehead, and changed again. He returned a feather and was caught by Elder Ares.
“What’s going on?”
Elder Ares listened for a few seconds and said solemnly: "Master Jade's Feather said that his soul was stolen by a huge will..."
"What do you mean, he is not him?"
"He is still himself, but he senses that our prying huge will has torn his soul apart."
