Chapter 436: Immediately after showing up
The effect of [Honesty Magic] is very unique.
It cannot make people speak the truth without restraint.
If it were really that powerful, there would be no secrets, lies and deception in this world.
As early as when he was in Green Harbor, Norwen had learned about this magic.
The process of this magic taking effect is actually a "questioning opportunity" with various judgments and conditions.
First of all, there must be a complete object that is directly related to the problem and the person involved as the carrier of the magic.
When casting the magic, you can ask a "yes or no" question that is strongly related to this object.
If the question is established, a confrontation judgment related to the two attributes of [Spirit] and [Will] will be carried out between the caster and the recipient.
If the recipient is judged to be at a disadvantage, he will be forcibly restrained by the magic.
The question will be answered with "yes" or "no", and this response must be true.
After the response, the object of the carrier of the magic will be "consumed" and it will no longer be possible to use [Honesty Magic] repeatedly with it as a carrier.
Such strict requirements require it to be used with great caution.
But it is precisely because of caution.
Once there is a suitable opportunity, the judgment result of [Honesty Divine Art] is equivalent to a final decision.
This is the case at the moment.
"The beard of the man in black robe" meets the requirements of a complete item.
To be precise, this thing belongs to the category of "body hair" in terms of symbolic meaning.
The other party's blood, bones, organs, etc. can also be counted as complete items.
In this case, you only need to ask a clear question with [Honesty Divine Art]:
"Has Henry Trang had a secret communication with the owner of this beard in private?"
As long as the answer is "yes", Henry Trang will not be able to escape full responsibility.
...
Although ordinary people do not have powerful strength and extraordinary divine arts, their huge base can also have miraculous effects at the right time.
When the Church of Seeking Knowledge has gained enough reputation in Ceylon, many difficult problems that were originally difficult to find clues often have unexpected gains through the vision of ordinary people.
The two elderly refugees came from a refugee slum, which is one of the most prestigious places in the Church of Knowledge.
After learning that they needed to collect information about Henry Tran, they took the initiative to find the believers of Knowledge and provided corresponding clues.
Henry Tran did not leave any evidence that could be used as a handle.
The secret meeting, except for him and the black-robed man, no one else knew what they talked about.
The two elderly refugees only witnessed Henry Tran and the black-robed man entering the room by accident on the charity day before the eternal night.
The "black-robed man's beard" they produced as evidence was certainly not collected in the room of the relief center.
Without knowing the specific situation, who would have nothing to do to collect an inexplicable beard and keep it for so long without any reason?
The real source of this beard was actually collected from the "wreckage" of the two dwarf warlocks who blew themselves up in the Countess's castle at that time!
The principle of "self-explosion" is actually a spell called [Life Diversion] for warlock professionals.
Its normal effect is to sacrifice the warlock's vitality and temporarily exchange extra dangerous energy from hell, which can be used to cast spells of other warlock professions.
Another use is to detonate it directly!
The effect formed is the self-detonation of the flesh.
The dark energy that spreads out due to the explosion will blow the warlock's body into pieces. The largest corpse remains will not exceed the size of a fingernail, but it will still leave debris.
Not only can hair such as beards be collected from the scene.
If the seekers of knowledge and the Countess of Ceylon are willing, they can also take a few bottles of the blood of the black robes to make hairy blood.
Considering that the source of blood is difficult to explain, this is replaced by something like "beard".
...
Bishop Henry Trang's face is extremely ugly.
He and those black robes are actually in a single-line contact. The two sides agreed to meet on the charity day, and the black robes came to find him unilaterally.
At other times, Henry Trang had no way to contact them.
Because they were not found by Henry Tran at all, but were "arranged" by the bigwigs in the capital behind him.
Although Janiva gave him the opportunity to speak and defend himself.
But he had to come up with a suitable "excuse".
The ironclad evidence of [Honesty Divine Art] was here, and any clumsy lies told now would be punished more in the future.
After hesitating for a long time, Henry Tran finally found a breakthrough.
"Yes, I admit that I had contact with them before. I did not quickly solve the problem of the Eternal Night Disaster, and I do have to bear part of the responsibility."
"But I did not leak any information to those black-robed people."
"On the contrary, they took the initiative to find me!"
"They told me that the honorable Countess of Ceylon was doing something dangerous!"
"I'm already preparing to stop the Countess."
"It's just that time is limited, and I haven't had time to act yet!"
The art of language, the game of words.
Henry Tran admitted that he had contact with the black-robed people, but denied that he was the one who took the initiative, and cleverly put the main part of the pot on the Countess of Ceylon.
"Why did the reputation of the Church of the Radiant God suffer?"
"Because they did not properly resolve the Eternal Night Disaster first."
"Tracing back to the source, why did the disaster break out?"
"The clergy of the Glorious God cannot be blamed entirely, because it was the Countess who took the initiative to make a dangerous attempt!"
This is the truth, every word is true.
Henry Tran did not take the initiative to contact the black-robed man, he was just an executor.
Even if the [Honesty Divine Art] is used to verify, the result will be "yes".
Since Griffin can't be blamed, Henry Tran can only improvise on the spot and try to drag the Countess into the water.
If he succeeds, the main responsibility for this matter will not fall on him!
...
However.
Henry Tran can think of it on the spot.
The people of the Seeking Knowledge Church who have been preparing to kill Henry Tran have also thought about it in advance!
Those loopholes that he may take advantage of to escape have already planned the corresponding problems to plug the loopholes.
Nicole Ceylan raised her hand, and after gaining the power to speak, she said lightly:
"In that case, let's change the way of asking."
Pointed to the beard of the black-robed man.
"Did His Eminence have a secret contact with its owner more than a year ago?"
More than a year ago was the time when Nicole first saw the black-robed man enter the shelter.
Henry Tran was sweating profusely.
His word game was caught!
He finally came up with an excuse to shirk responsibility, but now it was revealed.
He used "not having time to stop it" to shirk the main responsibility.
What kind of preparation would that take? It would take more than a year to prepare!
Yuan is not coming back!

Fifth update is completed. There will be more later, so I will continue to write
