There was no need for Liszt to remind him. The Shadow Incarnation's interrogation methods had already been used. After some physical pain, the short assassin finally confessed everything.
His name was Heathley Shadow, an inheritor of an ancient warrior, Shadow Incarnation. He came from the great empire in the far west, the Noble Frost Empire. He was sent to the Fire Kingdom by the emperor of the Noble Frost Empire, Great Emperor Jupiter, to investigate the news of the Holy Dragon, the invisible dragon.
"We have five Shadow Incarnations, all lurking in various parts of the Fire Kingdom. However, a week ago, one Shadow Incarnation left with news of the invisible dragon. There are still three Shadow Incarnations left … I don't know where they are hiding. I will investigate the information in Estuary City."
"How do I contact them?"
"Every week, we meet in a tavern in Dragon Valley City to share information. There are still three days until the next meeting."
Liszt narrowed his eyes. He finally knew why the smoke mission had not been completed even though he had caught this Shadow Incarnation. It turned out that there were still three Shadow Incarnations lurking in the dark. Furthermore, one of the Shadow Incarnations had already left Flame Island, and there was no way to catch him.
"The Noble Frost Empire …" A serious thought flashed in his mind, but he immediately suppressed it.
He continued to interrogate Heathley Shadow.
First, information about Heathley's personal profession. Shadow Incarnations were one of the ancient warriors. They did not cultivate qi or magic power. All practitioners had dark magic power. Unlike mages, they could integrate dark magic power into their bodies and transform them.
This allowed their bodies to blend into all shadowy environments through a special method.
"We were originally Earth Knights. After displaying dark qi, we were chosen by the royal family and began to cultivate into Shadow Incarnations through special means, engaging in assassination, investigation, and other work … I can tell you the specific cultivation method, but in the process of transforming qi into magic power, we need to soak in medicine several times. I don't know the formula of the medicine."
Heathley said.
This basically cut off Liszt's idea of cultivating Shadow Incarnations.
However, this was very normal. Since the royal family of the Noble Frost Empire had mastered the method of cultivating Shadow Incarnations, they would definitely hold the medicine formula tightly and would not leak it at will.
After all, there was no guarantee that the Shadow Incarnation would not be captured and reveal the cultivation method.
"My power isn't that great. I belong to the Deep Shadow of the Shadow Incarnation … Shallow Shadow, Deep Shadow, and Shadowless respectively correspond to the Earth Knight, the Normal Sky Knight, and the Perfect Sky Knight." Heathley was a Deep Shadow, which was equivalent to the Normal Sky Knight.
His most powerful assassination method was to jump out from the shadows and assassinate — he might not be able to defeat the Sky Knight in a head-on battle, but he could even kill a Sword Saint with a sneak attack.
However, the Shadow Incarnation was not without its limitations. Their clothes could not blend into the shadows.
Thus, before spying, they would hide in the shadows in the corner. When the other party was unprepared, they would jump into the other party's shadow naked and follow him. After the assassination, he had to leave the scene naked, find his clothes, disguise himself as an ordinary person, and disappear into the crowd.
"Then, can't you go anywhere at night?" Liszt asked, puzzled.
Heathley smiled bitterly. "It's not easy to assassinate at night, because the shadow state will be too dark, and I might not even be able to find my assassination target … When I blend into the shadows, I can only rely on the boundaries of the shadows to move, and rely on the light outside to sense."
Once there was no light, the shadows would have no boundaries, and he would not be able to figure out how to move, so … he would get lost.
This explanation was very logical. Otherwise, wouldn't the Shadow Incarnation be able to kill whoever it wanted at night? It would be completely lawless.
After understanding the occupation information of the Shadow Incarnation.
Liszt began to understand the information of the Noble Frost Empire.
Heathley, who had suffered, was very straightforward and answered every question. "I don't know how Great Emperor Jupiter knew about the invisible dragon. I'm just a Shadow Incarnation, and I've only seen Great Emperor Jupiter a few times. The orders were given by the leader of the Shadow Incarnation … Great Emperor Jupiter is called Great Emperor Jupiter, and after becoming emperor, he is a person without a surname."
"A person without a surname?"
"The emperor has no surname, because surnames can no longer bear the glory of the emperor."
"Hehe." Liszt smiled and continued to interrogate, "Then what's the family surname of Great Emperor Jupiter?"
"The Light of Tranquility."
"What does the Light of Tranquility have?"
"I don't know."
"How old is Great Emperor Jupiter?" He was suddenly very concerned about this question. He wanted to know the age of the emperor to determine if the other party was the Lord of the Dragon Territory.
"I don't know, but I guess Great Emperor Jupiter is forty years old."
Through the conversation with Heathley, Liszt quickly outlined the image of Great Emperor Jupiter. He was forty years old, in the prime of his life, a Dragon Knight, riding an elemental dragon – Dark Dragon. The dragon was as black as ink, with a body length and wingspan of more than seventy meters. Great Emperor Jupiter had once personally led the Orders of Chivalry to destroy a principality and vassal state, and killed the other party's dragon.
He could be considered a monarch.
The Noble Frost Empire spoke of the Chai language.
Heathley spoke a few words, which sounded a bit like the Language of the Moon. The written rules were like pieces of firewood stacked on top of each other, giving the feeling of cuneiform. However, Heathley could also speak Serpentine. These Shadow Incarnations were trained to speak multiple languages from an early age, and were sent to different countries to carry out missions.
The empire was very large, and wars were frequent on the border, especially with the Empire of Light. A war would break out every few years, and the Dragon Knight would often launch a dragon-slaying war.
"I don't know how many dragons there are in the empire. I've been performing assassinations in the mercenary city-states for a long time … The mercenary city-states are composed of many small exiled countries. They are located between the empire, the Fallen Leaf Kingdom, and the Whitestag Kingdom. They are very chaotic and the holy land of mercenaries and rats."
Heathley could not explain the geography of the legendary continent. He only knew that the mercenary castle bordered the Noble Frost Empire, the Fallen Leaf Kingdom, and the Whitestag Kingdom.
After receiving the order from the Shadow Incarnation Leader, he and the other four Shadow Incarnations set off from the mercenary city-states and headed east.
After passing through the Fallen Leaf Kingdom and the Blast Furnace Kingdom, they arrived at the Eagle Kingdom, and then sailed to the Grand Duchy of Sapphire. They then inquired about the road to the Fire Kingdom, and followed a caravan into the Fire Island. They began to disperse and spy on the situation of the Fire Kingdom, focusing on investigating the invisible dragon.
"The empire has many vassal states, all grand duchies and duchies. The imperial city is built on a mountain, and the whole mountain is the city. There is a spring at the top of the mountain that flows through the entire imperial city …"
After listening to Heathley's description of the Noble Frost Empire, Liszt suddenly asked, "Does the Noble Frost Empire have Archmages?"
"Yes …"
