"Hey, when did that Prince got out," Seren asked me while looking at the 'Surveillance Crystal'. *Thoughts* "Oh, she saw it already."
"Ah- well, he got caught again, so don't worry about it," I replied calmly.
"Hmph... That's not it, I'm sure you are the one playing with him. He shouldn't have been left freely like that, What if he had escaped from here? You were to be responsible for it." She knows I like playing games with the enemies so it was undoubtedly me who let him roam around inside the Fortress.
"Okays it was me, I was just trying to gauge his abilities. Do you think I will let him go? *expecting answer* No..." I replied myself.
"Yeah, yeah... but just so you know what I was telling you that I feel like he is still hiding something. I know he is not so strong, but that armour which you were talking about couldn't be so strong to have that tremendous amount of mana."
"What are you implying at?" *curious* I asked as I couldn't discern what's she talking about.
"Listen, You know this thing can absorb mana from many High tier weapons and tools below its own Tier, my mother first showed me its power by using it on my armour and it completely sucked the power of the armour excluding me, and you know what? My armour is of very high Tier and grade than this humans can afford in Daemon Land, but even after absorbing its full reserve, the 'Shadow Nerf' edge only glowed twice the amount of it compared to this..."
"Hmm, and..." I asked her to continue.
"Think about it! How can that Prince's armour be that strong but Hugo immediately crushed it without any effort...! A powerful armour like that should be able to withstand High physical damage without any magic. Nonetheless, it was never a powerful armour to start with, and they can't make it or afford one from somewhere. They are just leaving at the mercy of God, without those barriers they would have been dead by now."
"The thing is, he must have another more powerful Magic Tool in his possession. But we are not able to see it yet, wait a minute...!" Seren discerned something, what could it be?
"We didn't check him thoroughly, did we?" She asked me whether we forgot to check him properly.
"What are you talking about? We did check him, of course, I didn't myself. He was just wearing a black suit and there was nothing in his body besides a healing stone that couldn't even heal an injury. They just let it inside his pocket, it wasn't anything worth, all his possession were actually stored in his armour that Hugo crushed and our Detectives are already investigating them."
*Guessing* "You don't mean that Healing stone, right! That thing is definitely useless, he can't even disguise any other thing for a healing beds stone, since the Magic was already worn out by the 'Shadow Nerf' and a 'Disguise tool' can't work without magic, though Healing beds stone can still work a little... and they had to quickly give him 'Recovery Pill', so they left him in the hands of the medical staff and you know that human was wearin~" *Stopped*
I told her the Detectives already checked him and took care of everything besides his Skin-tight helmet, which looks like a mask with glass. I don't know how did they made those things that can let the user see through it, but not us. They couldn't take off it and left, of course, they can take it out by force, but then we can't say anything about the prince's neck... I was telling her what the detective had told me before after I came back from the 'Interrogation room'. But...
"Stop it, Tracy. You are straying further and further from what I'm trying to say..." but she paused me in the middle.
"Huh?"
"You are not getting the main thing we overlooked in front of us...! That outfit he is wearing and that mysterious Helmet! That must be the source of this power, I think the whole thing from helmet to Black robe is a kind of Magic enchanted Fabric, that thing is looking very bizarre from the first time I see it."
"Well, I was going to tell you about it. You just stopped me in the middle." So that's what she is talking about, but I didn't notice any magic coming from it when I was close to that Prince...
"Ehe, sorry." *Slightly embarrassed*
"You know, to me, it looks more like a thief's cloth rather than an 'Enchanted Outfit'," I added.
"Pfft... hahaha~ The Thief Prince of the Daemon Land." *In manly voice*
She laughed at my remark and added her own words into it. I smiled while looking at her acting, she loves acting and she is very good at that. We both laughed for a while...
"Anyway, how are you so sure about it? How can the 'Land of the Demon' have this level of Magic Tools?" I asked her about the possibility of an 'Enchanted Outfit', the thing is something which only our King and queen possess, so I had to revert our attention back to the main point... It's impossible to believe they have got their hands on something like that, much less just giving it to the Second Prince!
"It's just my speculation based on what I see, we better take it out of him and ask its likelihood." She suggested me taking it out of his head, and I was already thinking about it.
"If it is really an 'Enchanted Outfit' he could have attacked me instead of running, and he didn't even use its power when dealing with the Patrol Guard. I think it has only one function and that is defense, maybe it's the Primary armour he was wearing inside the other one." I said based on my experience...
"I think so too..."
"I will personally ask him to take it out, and if he refuses, I will have to sort on breaking his neck in the process," I added.
I wasn't sure about the helmet before and I overlooked it, as I thought it is just for hiding his damn face. But, now I'm also interested in it...
// Prince P.O.V //
The Prince is being lead to another room by two werewolf guards, Tracy had told them to bring him thereafter they caught him. She wanted to Interrogate him in the Place where he will get to see the special view...
*Thoughts* "Damn, Were they just waiting for me to come out of the only Stairway up?" *Anger*
"I knew it, I shouldn't have trusted her words. She just wanted to play with her captive." I know, enemies can't be trusted. But, at any rate, I was prepared for this result. I just accepted her words because I also wanted to try it out and gauge the strength of these werewolf warriors and at the same time I want to know about the structure of this Fortress."
I was wondering where did she get out of this place then I suddenly saw the small exit, and then I realised that it was just Ten meters Left from the room where I was being held captive by them... I think they were first going to treat me instead, before the Interrogation.
*Frustrated* "How could I be so fool to not look around before taking a turn."
But, just as I thought I'm one step forward to escaping this place, I was greeted with Five Werewolf guards. I tried to use the Darts on them but they didn't even touch them. They were just wearing normal breastplates and similar Dart weapons as me, they were not even pointed towards me so I tried to start the fight, but who knew that these darts can't even pierce their skin... They just bounced back like it had hit some wall.
Ultimately, I had to surrender! They look so strong compared to that underfloor Wolf. I can't just beat them as I did to that previous one, though I have to admit I could have a hard time beating him, if not for that dart weapon.
"But this is all they can do, I just need to buy a few extra time, and they were also helping me themselves with this...!". The prince smirked as implying everything is going according to his plan even after getting caught...!
// On the interior side of the Fortress //
// Chann P.O.V //
"Sigh~ These humans are frail without their magic," I gave them a good beating and it looks like the method of Interrogation Tracy told me is very effective.
It's called the 'Punishment Game' and as the name suggests we are giving them retribution in the form of a Game that serves to collect information from the mass groups at the same time. I have received countless crucial information from them, it's quite easy but cruel and effective. But it's nothing to what Commander Tracy told me about the method Hugo exercise...
