He was obviously the one being interrogated, but he asked what the interrogator had asked him before.
This scene was very strange.
Timus could not understand the current situation at all. He crazily looked at the two people beside him, clearly confused.
“Why did I come here?”
Sabrina had a charming smile on her face. She stroked her golden hair and said with a smile, “If I said that I randomly picked a place and came straight in, would you believe it?”
“Yes, why wouldn’t I believe you?” Mike also smiled and looked at Sabrina directly. “But, if you don’t have a purpose, then we will leave according to the agreement.”
“Are you sure.... you really don’t have a purpose?” Mike asked once again.
At this point, the smile on Mike’s face became even brighter.
“You’re really boring.” Sabrina shook her head and said with a bitter smile “Alright, alright, I admit defeat. I admit that I have something to ask for, it’s your help.”
Mike grinned and said, “Isn’t that right? I’ll tell you the truth, and you tell me the truth. This way, our conversation will be much more convenient.
“Tell me, what’s your purpose?”
Timus, who was at the side, had been listening quietly. He felt a little dazed and dreamy. It was all too strange.
He and his teacher were being interrogated. Why did he have the feeling that they will always have the upper hand?
Was it an illusion?
The fact was, that it was not an illusion.
Mike could see that Sabrina had a purpose and probably needed Mike’s help.
In a situation like this, Mike easily took the initiative in the conversation. When taking initiative, the game becomes a bit complicated.
First, from the information given by the guard Jess, Sabrina knew that the two guys in front of her might have the ability to kill others.
Mike’s admission of his murder confirmed this. Thus, it easily elevated him to the top of the conversation.
This is the difference in strength.
On the other hand, Mike told the truth from beginning to end, there was no lie. There are two kinds of people who don’t lie.
One would be the person who can not lie.
The other would be the person who does not need to lie.
Mike was obviously the second kind.
As Mike mentioned, he lied to Jess because it was easier for him. The young guard had to let Mike and Timus go without any evidence.
Mike told Sabrina the truth.
According to Mike, he told the truth because lying did not work on anyone but Jace.
But the truth? Mike’s confession that he killed a guard was an important message.
Mike was not afraid of being found out that he had killed a guard.
He had confidence!
At this level, Sabrina was weaker than Mike. There were many games hidden in the seemingly simple conversation.
These were things that Timus could not see. He only knew that Mike now had the advantage in the conversation.
Soon, Sabrina stood up and went to the door of the interrogation room.
She first opened the door of the interrogation room to make sure that no one was outside. Then, she closed the door and casted a spell towards the room. A light green ball of light appeared in Sabrina’s hand and it spread throughout the entire room.
Mike raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
This spell seemed to be a barrier spell. He did not expect Sabrina to have this ability.
After setting up the barrier magic, Sabrina returned to her seat, looked at Mike, and said with a smile, “Well, now we can get down to business.”
Mike smiled and said nothing.
He could guess that the barrier that Sabrina set up should be related to sound. It was most likely that the people outside could not hear any sound or magic in this room.
From this point, it could be seen that Sabrina’s next words might be somewhat shameful.
This was also the reason why Sabrina, as a princess, came to this interrogation room.
“Actually, before I came, I already knew what happened in the tavern.
“I can see that you are very strong, so I have something to ask you for help.”
“Tell me about it,” Mike said with a smile.
He knew that Sabrina was asking for help. Otherwise, why would she be so polite to the two who were ‘suspects who are suspected of killing the elf guards’?
Mike’s words meant that they could consider working together, which was good news for Sabrina.
She smiled and said in a relaxed manner as if they were chatting, “You know, I’ve always believed in a certain saying.
“Powerful people are often very knowledgeable.
“Do you agree with this saying?”
Sabrina looked at Mike.
Mike thought for a moment and nodded. “I agree with half of it.”
“Oh? Why only half?” Sabrina showed an interested look.
Mike shrugged, “A lot of times, it’s not because you’re strong that you’re knowledgeable.
“It’s also because you’re knowledgeable, so that makes you powerful.”
As she heard Mike’s words, Sabrina smiled and extended her hands, and clapped, “Interesting. I think what you said made sense.
“Then... I know you’re a strong person, but I don’t know if you’re knowledgeable.”
Mike pursed his lips.
If it was in the game world, Mike’s knowledge could be said to be the greatest in the world.
After all, he knew all about the major events that will occur in the next 30 years.
But in this parallel world, Mike was not so confident.
“Whether your knowledge is wide or not, you’ll have to try to find out.
“Speak, what news do you want to ask?”
Sabrina stood up slowly, her fingers gently placed on the table, and her body slowly moved along the table.
As she spoke, she circled around the table and moved behind Mike.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a unique person like you.
“Generally speaking, before we cooperate, we will discuss the issue of benefits first.
“Don’t you want to ask what benefits you have?”
Mike did not turn his head to look at Sabrina at all. Instead, he calmly leaned back in his chair and said in a relaxed manner, “I don’t think we need to discuss this beforehand, because you have to give me what I want.”
They were playing another game, yet again.
Mike confidently showed his back and did not look at Sabrina warily.
This action obviously told Sabrina that he had absolute confidence in his strength. At least an Elven Princess was not able to sneak attack him.
Sabrina listened to Mike’s words and stayed silent for a moment.
She did not directly reply to Mike’s words just now. Instead, she directly asked for the information she wanted to know.
“Have you heard of Soul Stones?”
