Chapter 101 Mr. An, an Ordinary Citizen

This answer obviously completely exceeded the expectations of "Blackbird".

"Blackbird", who was still a little sleepy at first, became refreshed instantly after hearing Annan's answer.

——Or, he was directly intimidated by Annan's answer.

What kind of situation does this roughly correspond to, that is, the police suddenly interrogated the top leaders of other countries on the street without any preparation...

And the thing held by the blackbird seemed to be able to detect lies and make recordings—it was precisely because of this that he immediately believed Annan's words. Of course, the entry record is there, and since it has already collected Annan's voiceprint, it is meaningless to lie and pretend to be coercive.

In other words, Annan is really the Duke of Winter who came to travel.

The sweat on the blackbird's back fell off with a swipe.

After so long in the hot sun, he didn't even break a sweat. But now he was soaked in cold sweat... Even his fingers began to tremble.

Annan looked very familiar with this. Maria used it in Nightmare at the White Tower before, and the guard at the door of Viscount Roseburg's house also used similar things.

Because this thing is a specialty of the Tower of Storms, it can be used to continuously release detection of lies and detection of real names. Just like the black fire of Zedi Black Tower, the base plate of Jade Tower, the gargoyle of Twin White Tower, and the small game of Thousand Faces Magic Tower... It belongs to the most basic external income-generating project of Wizard Tower.

Annan had also heard from Maria that it was not troublesome to make.

Probably the most troublesome step is how to cut them into such a standard size. In order to be able to manufacture a large number of these small stone boards that are one palm long, two and a half fingers wide, and half a finger thick, it is necessary to use the Tower of Storms instead...

The Tower of Storms has a ceremony similar to a machine tool, which is responsible for cutting and polishing the purchased stones into such a size.

Yes, it wasn't jade—it was ordinary stone poured with curses. Just like the gray mist itself is also a substance like smog, after the curse is poured into it, the original properties of the stone will change accordingly.

The curse was not provided by the apprentice wizard, but by the never-ending storm above the Tower of Storms. In other words, the process of making this kind of jade tablet itself is one of the ways to spend that power.

The other wizard towers are all worried about energy. Only the Tower of Storms is worrying about "how to quickly use up these energy sources"...

As long as you use a certain spell on it in the process of pouring the curse... this spell,

It will be crushed by the "machine tool" of the Tower of Storms.

The whole process is fully automatic, and every time an apprentice wizard casts a spell, he can engrave a set of twenty boards at the same time; Multiple types of "Spell Tablets".

Neither cost nor processing is complicated.

But the "continuous endless curse" that caused troubles for the Tower of Storms was simply impossible for other wizard towers to possess. And the spells of the Imperial Order School also require a certain amount of talent to master.

And the designer of this machine tool ritual...

It was "Victor Shuangyu" from Annan's family.

So this creates a wonderful situation of "everyone knows that this thing is cheap in theory, but you still have to buy it from me at a premium several times".

Since the Tower of Storms does not accept ordinary apprentices, the one held by this person named Blackbird, if it is not a second-hand product more than ten years ago, it can only be made by Maria herself.

That is to say, "Blackbird" is using things made by Annan's sister and sold to Denisauer by the country ruled by Annan to interview and record Annan's words, and at the same time determine whether Annan is lying.

The expression of "Blackbird" suddenly became very subtle.

He was silent for a while, and bowed deeply to Annan humbly: "Sorry, I don't know..."

"It does not matter, I do not mind."

Annan just asked curiously: "You said, have I had contact with wanted criminals? I am also curious... I should not have contacted many people today, even fewer people from Denisoya. Which one do you want?" Are you looking for a wanted criminal?"

Seeing that Annan didn't resist or mind, the stiff and pale expression on "Blackbird" finally eased.

If Annan gets angry because of his impolite inquiry—even if Annan just expressed dissatisfaction, even if he did nothing wrong, but according to the most standard procedures, those leaders of the "Special Bureau of Spells and Ritual Crimes" , and he will definitely be severely punished as a sincere apology to Annan.

"Your Majesty, it's great that you don't care..."

"Blackbird" bowed again to Annan very humbly.

Then he pinned the jade tablet back to his waist, took out a folded portrait from his bosom, unfolded it, bent down and handed it to Annan with respectful hands.

And "Xia Li", who was originally sitting majestically at the feet of the blackbird, immediately put on a smile on her face, and leaned over to lie down at Annan's feet.

"Just treat me as an ordinary citizen named 'Annan Rinwinter' and ask."

Annan watched "Blackbird" hand over the painting to him, but he didn't straighten up, but just kept a bowing posture without moving, and smiled helplessly: "You are working after all, I can understand .Although I also know that some nobles in our cold winter are not very good-tempered...but I don't actually have that kind of stinky problem.

"If you met a nobleman from Denisaua, would you ask him so respectfully?"

——What you said, I dare not ask when I meet a nobleman.

"Blackbird" muttered in his heart, but said nothing.

Mainly because I dare not speak.

Because the recording of the brand on the waist is still on.

The most terrible thing about that thing is that in order to prevent inductive inquiries, or lie to cheat answers, and also to convince people of one's identity and purpose, the lie detection effect of this jade card is two-way...

If he dared to lie, the jade badge would turn red when the recording was played.

Then he must be dead.

"...Okay, I see."

Annan looked at the reaction of "Blackbird" and smiled helplessly.

He probably has a better understanding of the political situation on Denisoa's side.

And Isaac, who was behind Annan, was also frowning, looking at the "blackbird" who didn't even dare to look up into Annan's pupils, and remained silent without saying a word.

Annan looked intently at the portrait in his hand, and recognized the person's identity at a glance.

"This person..."

He looked dazed.

On the painting is a lean old man with dark skin, his face is marked by the sea wind. He was wearing a captain's cap, hunched slightly, holding a dagger in his left hand and a gun in his right.

But the most conspicuous thing is the silver bracelet on his right wrist.

The old man turned his head, with a vicious look in his eyes. This portrait vividly portrays those eyes.

Annan just wanted to turn around and ask Isaac, "Do you think this is so-and-so", but he suddenly realized that "Blackbird" only came to ask himself, and Isaac didn't speak after he started the recording.

If at this time, I talk to outsiders and leave a voice.

Then after "Blackbird" went back, he might be reprimanded and asked, "Why don't you ask another person in the same company, but ask Grand Duke Annan?"

In that case, it would simply cause trouble for "Blackbird".

——It's really unnecessary.
