Nur broke out in a cold sweat as he listened to this. He looked at the sword that kept drifting in the other person's hand, as if the next moment he would be chopped down on his body by the sword as his words said.

After hearing that the other party would sprinkle salt on the executioner's knife, Nur couldn't help but shudder. He knew very well how painful it would be to have salt sprinkled on the wound. It would be like being unable to live or die.

Noor even felt that compared to the wizard in front of him, Lord Ladakh, who used the poor to conduct various magic experiments, had become an extremely kind person! Even the demons in hell could not think of such a punishment!

"My skills are naturally not as good as those of the executioners. It often takes less than a hundred cuts to kill someone... But fortunately, your recovery ability is very good. I believe it must be very useful for training?" Lin En said with interest, and then touched the pocket of his robe and said with regret.

"It's a pity that I seem to have forgotten to bring a bag of salt!"

Nur's almost collapsed sanity eased a little, at least he could die without much pain, but the next moment he heard the devil speak.

"But direct quenching seems to work... I heard that high temperature has a miraculous effect on stopping bleeding!"

As Lin En spoke, he placed his right hand on the sword, and a tongue of hot fire gushed out, burning the silver-white sword red.

Nur's body was shaking constantly, and at the moment the sword fell, he finally couldn't help but shout.

“Wait… wait, it was me… I took the initiative to find Ralph… ahhh~”

Before he could finish his words, the red-hot sword had already pierced into Noor's shoulder, cutting off a piece of flesh...

Noor was going crazy, staring at Lin En with red eyes, and couldn't understand why the other party was still unwilling to let him go even though he was willing to tell him.

"Too slow, keep talking! I hope your words can be faster than my sword this time!" Lin En put the sword back and continued to quench it to prevent it from cooling down.

Faced with such a cruel and unscrupulous demon who would cut people into pieces at any time, Noor completely collapsed and began to tell the story in a trembling voice.

The story began five days ago, when he accidentally heard a few halflings in the Broken Axe Tavern bragging that they were making a very large alchemical machine that could fly into the sky and did not require any magic.

Not only him, but the other drinkers in the tavern also did not believe this. They just regarded these remarks as bragging by these halflings. After all, when they helped Lydia build various flying machines in the past, they also boasted about it, but the flying machines all fell down without exception.

It was not until Lynn conducted a shocking flight experiment in public that Noor realized that this was all true.

So when he learned that a wizard in the Bloody Thorns was willing to spend 500 magic gold coins in exchange for the blueprints of the airship, he immediately became interested and waited patiently near the Broken Axe Tavern every day. He knew that these wine-loving halflings would come sooner or later...

Nur spilled everything like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube. He knew very well that once he had revealed all the information, he would no longer be of any use and would probably die in the end. But that was better than being slowly chopped into a bloody skeleton by a scalding sword.

"So you targeted Ralph who was alone, and after failing to use the sleeping fog, you killed him?" Lynn said with a sneer.

Noor's face was full of regret. He didn't regret attacking Ralph, but he regretted that he wasn't careful enough and didn't expect that Quran wine would affect the coma effect of the withered grass powder. Otherwise, his actions would never have been discovered.

Lin En did not easily believe the other party's words, but questioned every detail of the action, asking Nur to tell everything he had done in the past few days from beginning to end, and finally breaking it down and questioning him one by one. If there was any hesitation or inconsistency, he would chop him with the hot sword.

The sword cut through the flesh, and the blood was coagulated by the high temperature of hundreds of degrees before it could flow out. Experiencing such a sour and refreshing feeling, no matter how smart a person is, he would not be able to make up a perfect lie in this situation.

Seeing Noor's face full of snot and tears, and his mental state on the verge of collapse, Lin En was also quite helpless. Wouldn't it be enough for him to just tell the truth from the beginning? He had to lie like this, forcing him to use some unconventional means.

For Lin En, who is not very good at psychological warfare, the only way to confirm the truth is to use such a stupid method.

"Is the bounty still there?" Lin En asked again.

A full five hundred magic gold coins would probably arouse the greed of many people.

Lin En was not worried about his own safety. After all, he usually stayed in Yieta College and was still a three-ring wizard on the surface. No one should have the courage to rush in and cause trouble. But it was different for Lydia and other halflings...

"No, the reward has been withdrawn..." Nur replied tremblingly.

"What's the reason?" Lin En was a little surprised.

Didn’t the operation to capture Ralph fail?

Could it be that the other party has given up completely?

Lin En held the tempered sword in his hand and swung it continuously. The scalding hot sword blade made Nur's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, rise to his throat again.

"I don't know, I just heard... I heard that Lord Ladakh has obtained some construction drawings of the airship from other places..." Nur responded hurriedly, fearing that he would be chopped down by another sword if he was a step slower.

It was because of this that he was not treated as waste by Lord Ladakh because of this failed operation.

Lin En's brows suddenly furrowed. "Are you sure?"

Apart from Ralph, the only halflings who had actually seen the drawings were Darren and Lydia. If it wasn't necessary, Lynn was not willing to doubt them.

Of course, Lin En also knew that whether there would be betrayal sometimes depended on whether the price was high enough. Five hundred magic gold coins was not a small amount.

This was also the reason why he had deliberately used the account book to test those halflings before.

"Probably... should..." Nur's expression became a little hesitant, but facing Lin En with the sword raised in his hand, he spoke very quickly.

"No, I am sure of it, absolutely sure!"

(PS: I ask for any new book.) 　I recommend a book called "I am Superman's younger brother, but I became a native of my country". It is an invincible novel about superheroes. If you are interested, you can take a look.
