I looked at the three of them coldly, and secretly said in my heart: Is this a conditioned reflex?

Put a mouse in a small box and put an electric current on the wall of the box that is painful enough to cause it but far from lethal.

In the beginning, the mouse will test the wall of the box in various ways and try to find an exit, but every time it touches the wall of the box, it will be stung by an electric current.

After a while, the mice will slowly give up the test of the box wall.

After a while, even if the wall of the box is removed and the mouse is bucketed with a small stick, the mouse is not willing to take even a small step close to the wall of the box.

If the mouse is forcibly pushed in the direction of the wall of the box, the mouse will even have a violent resistance response.

This is the conditioned reflex.

And the three people in front of them, after hearing the sound of the silver nail hitting the table, it is likely that they will unconsciously produce the previous masochistic process and lingering painful shadows in their minds.

It's hard to imagine how terrible Wren's torture is, and how he can train three big men to the point of being almost neurotic in just one night.

Seeing this, the Elf Empress frowned slightly, leaned closer to me, and said, "Mr. An Xiaoyi, are you sure that the three of them still have normal expression skills?" ”

"I'm sure, Your Majesty," I said lightly, "it's just that the three traffickers have been punished a little mentally and physically before, and have become a little timid. ”

I threw the silver nail on the table, and the silver nail and the table made a louder sound again, and the bodies of the three traffickers froze, and the sobbing stopped instantly.

Silence lasted only a few seconds, and the three traffickers began to babble on and on their own faces.

Three people, three mouths, three different voices, three different self-reports.

The three voices are mixed together, and the people listening to them are distraught.

The Elven Empress frowned and glanced at the surrounding elders, Elder Sonoda Mai's face turned cold, and he shouted, "Come on, pull two of them out!" ”

When the guard's hand just grabbed the body of the human trafficker, the three human traffickers instantly shrank into a ball, trembling all over, and kept muttering: "Don't torture us anymore, we say, we all say, please, please......"

Hearing the three of them clearly, I couldn't help but be more curious about Wren's torture methods.

After the guards dragged the two traffickers who let out a heart-rending howl all the way out of the living room, the hall instantly became much quieter.

The Elven Empress glanced at me, and I nodded at her, refocusing her gaze on the trafficker's terrified face, and said lightly, "Tell me everything you know." ”

The trafficker trembled all over, and told everything he knew, and even shook out the fact that he had robbed money and gone to the casino when he was a child.

However, the Elven Empress had no interest in the trivial matters of Chen Sesame Rotten Grain's childhood, and she only had a flash of anger and murderous intent in her eyes when she heard the traffickers talk about the fact that the Carter royal family in Ari City wanted to buy the children of the Elven Clan as slaves.

But this emotion was only fleeting, and she returned to her original indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened.

When the first trafficker ran out of words, the elven queen waved her hand, and the guards dragged him down, and when he dragged him down, he was in the same state as the two previous traffickers, and they were both crying and wailing.

Immediately afterward, the second trafficker was sent back, and after a brief moment of horror and sobbing, he also began to ramble on and on to himself.

After this, there is the third trafficker.

When the three traffickers had explained everything, the Elven Empress ordered them to be temporarily detained, and then closed the door to the parlor.

The empress said: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, you should have known the self-reports of these three traffickers before, right?" ”

I nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I know that." ”

"Since you all know, it means that you also heard them say that 'the Carter family wants to buy elven children as slaves'?"

I continued to nod: "Yes." ”

The Elven Empress had a serious face and said, "Mr. An Xiaoyi, do you know that this matter is very likely to affect the long-standing peaceful relationship between Moonlight City and Eri City?" ”

"Peace?" I shook my head: "With all due respect, Your Majesty, there is no such thing as peace between every town in the Zephyr Continent, and your so-called peace is actually just not starting a war, at most it can only be regarded as the result of accommodation and compromise." ”

"Accommodation and compromise, you say?" Elder Sonoda Mai's eyes widened, and he said, "Do you know who you are facing to say such things?" An Xiaoyi, you are really presumptuous......"

The Elven Empress raised her hand, and Elder Sonoda Mai closed her mouth, but she was still glaring at me with her eyes.

The empress said lightly: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, since you said that we are only accommodating and compromising, can you please explain why you have such feelings?" ”

"Isn't it obvious," I spread my hands and said, "If you really love the people like a son and are jealous like hatred, you will definitely execute the three traffickers, and at the same time, you will be at odds with the boss behind the traffickers, but you didn't do that, so, ah, I guess, you may have guessed from the beginning who would be behind the scenes of these traffickers, and you have already guessed what these traffickers wanted to do by kidnapping their own people, but you didn't do anything on a large scale. The substantive action is just to ask the people of the Rose Legion who manage the safety of the town to act independently, and your actions are probably contrary to the statement of loving the people. ”

Elder Sonoda Wu shouted: "An Xiaoyi, you are presumptuous, you actually talk to Her Majesty the Empress like this, and someone is ......."

Without waiting for the guards to come, the Elven Empress first waved her hand and drove the guards back, and then said to me: "You're right, Mr. An Xiaoyi, I have indeed guessed the motives and purposes of the three traffickers to kidnap the children of my clan, and I have also guessed that they may be a high-powered person behind the scenes, and at the same time, the request that large-scale actions are not allowed is also put forward by me, just to prevent the traffickers from jumping off the wall and doing something extreme that people regret, but there is one thing you misunderstood me, I am not without substantive actions, The Rose Legion is the largest guild in Moonlight City, and it is also a guild directly under the Elven Royal Family, they have the authority that other guild personnel do not have, they can enter any place in Moonlight City to work, and at the same time, they are also the guild that has infiltrated the most among the people of Moonlight City, and it is easy to obtain the most authentic information from the mouths of the people, and only if they have these conditions, they are most likely to find the lost children back, you, understand? ”
