Looking at Pope's expression, Rob knew that the other party had taken the bait. The young holy knight's vigilance was lower than he had imagined.
However, no matter how vigilant the other party was, it was useless because the future supreme magus Your Honor did not choose to impersonate an internal member of the church on a whim. He still had a trump card — mimicry magic.
Perhaps, Rob was the only person in this world who did not have any faith but could still use divine incantations. Of course, this list also included D 'Addarion and Merlin.
But in any case, in the knowledge of most people, faith was the prerequisite for using divine incantations, just like how a mage needed a magic device to cast spells. Therefore, as long as he showed off a divine incantation, Pope would never doubt his identity again.
However, in this way, he would have to explain the origin of this divine incantation to Lolo. Rob did not want to keep deceiving the girl. The reason why he concealed his identity before was because he did not want Lolo to worry about him. The girl was already burdened with enough things. From the moment they met, Rob had always been helping her reduce her burden, not letting her push herself to death. However, this did not mean that he liked to deceive Lolo. In fact, Rob had always been apologetic about concealing his identity.
If possible, he still hoped to be as honest with the girl as possible.
For now, at least he did not need to prepare another set of excuses for the matter of divine incantations.
If there were 10 points of trust, the future Supreme Magus estimated that Bopp's trust for the two of them was around 70 points. There would definitely be some doubts in his heart. After all, anyone who was tied up like this would inevitably have some doubts. Therefore, although Bopp was willing to speak now, he would definitely not speak if it involved confidential information.
But this was enough, because the two of them did not come for the secret of Ao Grimm's healing.
Rob said to Pope, "You now have two choices. The first is to help us find the mole in the tower and ensure the safety of the others. The second choice is to remain silent. Don't worry, we will not hurt you. However, before your suspicion is eliminated, we cannot let you go. Now that you know our identity, in order to prevent you from ruining our investigation, we can only find a place to hide you."
"I choose the first one." The young holy knight did not hesitate for long.
The future supreme magus Your Honor nodded. In fact, Rob had already predicted Pope's choice long before he had spoken. Not only was there no fear on Pope's face when he saw the dagger, but he had also looked at him with a provocative gaze. Your Honor, the future supreme magus, had already made a rough judgment of the young holy knight's character.
This was a man who was loyal to his faith and did not fear death. At the same time, he had a certain degree of aggressiveness.
Such people tended to prefer to have the initiative in their hands. Compared to passively waiting for the mole to be caught and his innocence to be proven, Pop was undoubtedly more inclined to take the initiative to attack. At the same time, he could also use this method to further probe the two people before him.
Pope thought that he was very smart. He made up his mind that if the other party was really investigating the leak of the safe passage, then he would obediently cooperate by the side. However, if the other party were to use this opportunity to investigate other secret cases, then he could also use this opportunity to see through their true colors.
It was a pity that he had underestimated his opponent and overestimated his own intelligence.
Rob did not waste any time and directly asked, "How long have you been here?"
Pope thought about it carefully and felt that this question was not important. Thus, he answered normally, "I've been here for a year and a half. Before this, I've always been serving the 6th Holy Knight Regiment."
"The Church only has five Holy Knight Regiments. Don't use this kind of question to probe our identity. If you don't want to cooperate, you can shut your mouth and obediently stay by the side." The future supreme magus, Your Honor, frowned.
As someone who even knew about the existence of the Court of Heresy, how could Rob not know how many Holy Knight Regiments there were in the Church? His understanding of the Church was even more comprehensive than most clergymen.
"I'm sorry." Pope hurriedly apologized. However, at the same time, he believed in the identity of the two a little more. "Don't worry, I won't do such things anymore."
So, the future supreme magus, Your Honor, continued to ask, "In the past year and a half, has there been anyone around you who has behaved strangely?"
On the surface, this question seemed to be an investigation of a mole. However, if Mother Teresa was really here, Rob was sure that she would not tell anyone about the murder of Eluria. Firstly, it was not a glorious thing to do. Secondly, Rob felt that Mother Teresa must still have some feelings of guilt towards Eluria. Well, if these feelings were not vented, it would very likely cause her to behave strangely.
Pope thought about it and gave a few names, but Mother Teresa was not among them. Considering the possibility that the other party might be hiding their identities, Rob deliberately asked about their age, gender, and occupation, but in the end, he eliminated all of them.
So, the future supreme magus, Your Honor, could only expand the scope of his search. He first threw out the most basic question, "How many people are there in the tower? What do they do? "
"There are a total of 62 people in the tower. There are two cooks, three cleaning nannies, one warden, two deputy wardens, and the rest are jailers like me."
"How many women are there?"
"Why? Do you guys think that the mole is a woman?" Pope raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"There's no conclusion yet. We can only say that based on the evidence we have, the possibility of a woman being the mole is higher than a man."
"Is that so? There are not many women in the tower. Other than the three nannies, there is also the deputy warden, Pemera, and six jailers."
It was unlikely that there was a jailer. Lolo had once said that Mother Teresa was an ordinary person. Even if she started studying later, she was already over 80 years old. It was impossible for her to work as a jailer. The same went for the three cleaning nannies. So, Rob focused on the deputy warden, Pemera.
The two of them were very close in age, but after carefully asking about Pope and Pemera, Rob had to admit that the two of them had almost nothing in common other than their age. Moreover, Pemera was already very famous before she entered Grimm's regime. There were even some of her former subordinates among the jailers.
It was impossible for such a person to be impersonated.
So after going one round, Luo Bu found that everyone's suspicions had been eliminated.
"What about the 16th floor?" Lolo asked. "You're talking about people from the 13th to the 15th floor. Is there anyone on the 16th floor?"
