Tales Of Magic Swordsman - Chapter 565

“I don’t mind getting nothing from this since what you offer worthed nothing in my eyes. Shelter? Favor? Without them, we can still get what we want.” Smite said solemnly.

“Except, if you can offer something that worthed nearly the same value as what I asked you before.”

What Smite meant was the one where he asked could he exchange the enemy’s leader’s life with one of the Bridge World’s cities or some famous Regalia’s general’s head.

The enemy’s leader got scared with Smite’s determination. It seemed nothing could entice Smite. Because of that, his doom was near.

In the face of death, the enemy’s leader became afraid and tried to save his life. He promised several things to exchange for his life. However, all of which didn’t take Smite’s attention.

Auron, who saw this, was surprised. He could see the change from the enemy’s leader’s behavior. From the arrogant one into the scared one. It was such a magnificent view.

After suggesting several more things, the enemy’s leader still could not get what he wanted. When he was about to say something else, Smite cut him off, “Well then, that is enough. I don’t think you can give me something worthy enough.”

Smite started to look behind and indicate the commander of the stop area to take control. It was apparent that Smite had given a death sentence to the enemy’s leader.

Seeing this, the enemy’s leader got panic. The enemy’s leader said desperately, “Wait!!! I can give you information about the thing you said previously.”

When everyone heard this, they were all confused. Smite turned around with a confused expression. However, it was apparent that Smite was pretending to be confused.

Smite said confusedly, “Which thing?”

“About that thing.”

“What? Which thing?” Smite still acted like he didn’t know.

“Ughh… Damn it!! I cannot say those two words, or the royal family would know about it.” The enemy’s leader said desperately.

Everyone was seemed confused about which things that the enemy’s leader mean. Smite also pretended to be curious and confused.

“It is the information about that. Don’t you pretend to not know what I mean! I am serious when I say that the royal family would know about it the second I say those two words! They had put a spell on us, so they know when someone says some of the forbidden words. When we trigger the spell, at that point, we already became a traitor.”

“If I became a traitor, then it would mean nothing whether I give this information or you kill me!” The enemy’s leader desperately explained. However, there was a mix of furious tones when he explained it to Smite.

Smite smiled and calmly asked, “Oh… Do you mean about Rochbeich Family?”

The enemy’s leader nodded his head. Meanwhile, everyone remembered those two words. Was it real? Everyone thought that Smite just casually said random words.

“Okay, this is interesting. Go, explain!” Smite ordered.

“Before I explain, you have to guarantee my life if I tell you about this information!”

“Okay, no problem. If what you say is the truth, then you will be released. If not, then I have no choice for a liar.” Smite promised.

“No… No… No… This is not fair. What if you deemed me as a liar to kill me after I tell the truth?” The enemy’s leader felt unfair.

Smite shrugged his shoulders and said, “You have no choice. You either believe me or not. It is that simple.”

The enemy’s leader still felt unfair. However, he didn’t have any choice. If he didn’t say anything, then he would 100% died. But, if he told Smite and Smite was true to his words, then he still had some chance to live.

The enemy’s leader gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, fine. I will tell you. But, I want you to kill the two people behind me first. I don’t want any witnesses.”

“Okay, no problem,” Smite said, then he casually nodded.

The two guards behind the two prisoners knew what Auron meant. They dragged the two prisoners out from the tent. Along the way, the two prisoners were not ready for this sudden change of event. They shouted and cursed at the enemy’s leader. However, none of it could save their life from execution. Several seconds later, the shout and curse became quiet.

Not long after, the two guards went back inside the tent and reported, “We have killed the two people.”

Smite nodded and faced the enemy’s leader once more, “Everything completed. Now, it was your turn to fulfill your obligation.”

The enemy’s leader knew he could not escape anymore. Then, he started to tell Smite and everyone here about the Rochbeich Family. Of course, he had to pick his word carefully, so he didn’t say the forbidden words.

When the enemy’s leader got into the crucial information, he had to be more careful when explaining it. There were more and more forbidden words, and he had to change the words carefully and arrange them to deliver what he meant.

Because of this, the explanation became more complicated and longer than usual. The enemy’s leader even became frustrated because of how difficult to explain this.

After three total hours of explanation, the enemy’s leader completed his explanation, “That is all that I know.”

“I have even given you the list of people that I know. You should know how sincere I was.” The enemy’s leader said.

Just like what the enemy’s leader had said, he had given Smite a list of people that he knew.  There were a total of 48 people inside the list, including him. Actually, it was not a list of names. Instead, it was a description of the 47 people. He could not give the name directly because it was included in the forbidden words.

After the explanation, everyone inside the tent gained new knowledge about this. They were shocked seeing that the Regalia’s royal family did something like this.

When everyone was still thinking about this new information they got, the enemy’s leader said, “Now, can you let me off?”
