Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 135 Special Interrogation Skills

With An Jie's help, Lena Leslie, who had treated her injuries briefly and put on a clean long dress, got into the temporary lord's tent with Xia Houyan, and began to sob and narrate her experience :
Lena, now 19 years old, is a third-level intermediate mage of the fire department certified by the Magic Association;

And last June, she graduated from Xuecheng Master Academy ahead of schedule by relying on her advancement speed far exceeding her peers.

Like most magicians in this era, Lina did not choose to become an unsecured free mage, but went to the employment market of the Magic Association after graduation, hoping to find a nobleman as her long-term client ——Lena, who had no social experience, was hired by the Rock Creek City Mages, who were eager to recruit, and became a member of the official Mages team of the Grand Duchy of Houston.

After that, everything went smoothly—the young Lena Leslie finally received a job in her career after half a year of reading romance novels and pouring southern fine wines in the well-paid Rock Creek City Mages Group. The first task of:
Together with several other members of the mage group, under the leadership of the chief mage Ander Spencer, they rushed to the land of the broken soul, assisted the elite knights of the "Pride of the South" knights, and pulled out a little-known noble territory!
The naive Lena Leslie never expected that what was supposed to be an easy vacation assignment turned into a complete nightmare:

She was assigned to follow Deputy Knight Commander Garcia. First, she was injured in the leg by the explosion caused by the "Molotov rocket", and was forced to stay beside the ballista. In horror, she watched her seriously injured colleagues die one by one. Then he was taken as a prisoner by the Shuangfengling militia who cleaned up the battlefield and was taken back to Phoenix Terrace.

Lena Leslie, who was spoiled and pampered since she was a child, has never seen human blood a few times. After experiencing this tragedy on earth, her spirit has almost collapsed—the cruelty of war is completely beyond the imagination of this mage lady. No wonder she had no intention of resisting, and poured all the information she knew into the lord.

To be honest, Lina, who was hired by Rock Creek City for a few months and is not a core high-level executive in the Grand Duchy of Houston, is actually a paid laborer, let alone know any valuable information about Rock Creek City;
But as the interrogation progressed, Xia Houyan was not without embarrassment when he discovered that this female mage, Lena Leslie, was actually an acquaintance of hers in various senses...

When Lina was at the Academy of Masters in Xuecheng, her tutor was Mr. Hugh Hosseini, a distinguished professor of the "Rand Research Institute for the History of Magic"—although in terms of departmental classification, Lina was a thriving flame. She is a mage, but her real major has always been the study of the history of magic.

And it is no coincidence that Professor Hosseini was one of the few teachers with whom the lord had the best relationship when he was studying in the academy city. The reason why he was able to steal a large package of banned books at the beginning was really because of Professor Hosseini's secrets. great help.

Although the world's mages are out of the school city, most of the imperial mages are basically alumni of the mage academy, but because of the relationship with Professor Husseini and the relatively close age of the two parties, Lena Leslie can be regarded as the lord My lord's classmates, brothers and sisters...

What's even more bloody is that the lord was shocked to learn that he had always been Lina's crush!
——When Elliott Igor was studying in the Academy City, with his noble status and handsome appearance as the eldest son of the Duke, he was often promiscuous and owed romantic debts, and he was considered the dream lover of countless girls in the Academy City—and Lena Lai Seeley is no exception. This young girl with a heart full of spring has even sent love letters to Elliott more than once.

It's just that Elliott, who had many female companions around him at that time, basically didn't notice this little red-haired junior sister, and Xia Houyan also racked his brains to find Lina's figure in a corner of his memory.

In stark contrast to the lord's inattentiveness, Lina, who suddenly recognized the lord of Shuangfengling in front of him during the interrogation, was actually his secret lover in the school city, and the depression and panic on his face were simply swept away. The air was replaced by the subtle attitude of shyness and anticipation unique to girls. The rapid change made Xiahou officials who had lived two lifetimes amazed.

"I didn't expect you, Senior Elliott, to be the lord of Shuangfengling. This is really..." Lina wrung her hands and bit her red lips lightly, with a resentful expression, as if the other party was some kind of scumbag who had always been chaotic and abandoned.

Xia Houyan opened his mouth, unable to speak.

The enemy prisoner who was interrogated suddenly became the junior sister who had a crush on him. This huge gap made him a little overwhelmed.

Xia Houyan is very fortunate, fortunately, he did not torture Lina just now to extract a confession, otherwise he would not know how to face Professor Husseini who is a kind teacher...

But at the same time, he had a headache again: In terms of emotion and reason, it seemed difficult for him to deal with this mage girl who was not only a junior sister of the master sect, but also belonged to the hostile forces of Rock Creek City...

As a result, Lena Leslie seemed to see what he was thinking, her cheeks were slightly red, and her voice was as thin as a gnat:
"S-senpai, I...I won't go back to Rock Creek City...I want to stay with you...Anyway, I'm working for someone..."

The lord looked at Lina in astonishment, and found that the girl's ears also quickly turned into a lovely peach-like color.

The ancients said that drunkards don't mean to drink, but it seems that Lina's intention to stay in Shuangfengling is not as simple as just finding a place to work...

"Ahem... let's talk about it first..." Xia Houyan adjusted his expression and said seriously, "Of course we in Shuangfengling welcome talents like Lina to join us, but we can't afford Houston's high salary for the time being... ..."

Lena gave him a shy white look:
"Senior, I am your prisoner, even if I give you free work, it is in line with the imperial tradition... And, and... I, I don't value money that much..."

"Oh?" Xia Houyan raised his eyebrows, "Do you want anything else as a reward? Magic scrolls? Weapons and equipment? Gem crystals?"

Lina blushed and hesitated for a moment, then stood up abruptly, leaned close to the Lord Lord's ear and whispered:
"Senior, there seems to be a bed in this tent..."

……

Xiahou officials do not claim to be a gentleman.

Therefore, he can only say that Lena Leslie, a sorcerer apprentice, has a pretty good figure.

And when the two of them finished the "interrogation" and sneaked out of the tent, their expressions were inevitably a little unnatural.

"Ahem, so, Lena Leslie..." A scumbag in the lord's world cleared his throat and pretended to be authentic, "From today onwards, you will be hired as a member of our Shuangfengling mage group!"

"My leg hurts so much..." Lina lowered her head deeply, and gently rubbed the wound on her leg with her hands.

Xia Houyan pretended not to hear it.

His own legs are not in good shape.

The life of the lame brothers and sisters is really not easy.

Seeing that the lord did not express anything, Lina snorted slightly dissatisfied, and then laughed happily:
"Senior, senior, so how many people are there in our Shuangfengling mage group?"

——This mage girl who was originally a worker in Rock Creek City and had no loyalty to her customers at all, obviously didn't have the slightest psychological burden on her chic surrender to the enemy, but instead had a complacent expression of "this old lady has made a lot of money".

"Two...ah no, with you it's three." Xia Houyan almost forgot to include Master Laurie's apprentice Wilson.

The smile on Lena's face froze.

"Just... just three people?" She stammered.

"We are a small territory, so we can't compare with those big nobles." Xia Houyan shrugged, "Well... you should take good care of your wounds, our territory has a big thing to do in a few days."

"What a big deal, it's so mysterious..." Lina narrowly poked her senior with her elbow.

"Do you believe me when I say it's a dragon slaying?"

"Whoever believes is a puppy!" Lena Leslie smiled brightly.
