Zhan En's guess was correct.
As a supply depot, the resources stored here were indeed not in short supply. In addition to the wood and stone used for construction, Jenn discovered a large number of reserve equipment, weapons, and even some materials for magic use. There were also many consumables, including holy water and healing scrolls. For these things, Jenn naturally took them all without hesitation. Not only did he send out all the goblins in his underground city to search for treasure, but he even sent the aberrants to help transport the goods. Through the underground city's surveillance system, Jenn had already seen that several patrol teams seemed to have noticed that something was wrong at the supply depot and were considering returning. Therefore, he had to settle everything before they returned, so Jenn didn't have time to carefully examine his spoils of war, and just took everything he liked first, figuring he could look at them slowly when he got back.
But apart from this, Zhan En still has something important to figure out.
The supplies at the replenishment point are so rich that it not only shows that the forces behind these people are wealthy and powerful, but also that they have come to the dark region for more than just a day trip. It can be seen that these people seem to plan to stay underground for a long time, which does not conform to Jain's understanding of surface adventurers... Ah, looking at their appearance, it seems that they are not simply adventurers either.
So what are these guys going to do in this dark region?
He usually didn't bother with trivial matters, and would just pat his butt and leave after getting what he wanted. But things were different now, as the other party was so close to his underground city. If he couldn't figure out their intentions, it could lead to trouble for his own underground city... Although gaining experience for himself was a good thing, his underground city was still in its development phase, and if it exceeded its capacity, that would be troublesome too.
"But..."
"An investigation? How are you going to investigate? There's no one here except us, and if what you said earlier is true, then maybe two people can still be saved..."
Verna hugged her slender sword, staring coldly at Zan. However, what she said was not unreasonable either. Previously, Zan's full-strength attack had completely eliminated all living resistance forces in the stronghold. Those soldiers were either struck dead by lightning or crushed to death by shattered stones, without exception. Now, let alone a living person, there wasn't even anyone who could gasp for half a breath.
At this moment, the old bishop lying in front of Zhan also met a similar fate. He fell into a pile of rubble, his chest caved in by a bluestone slab half a meter wide, and naturally he was beyond salvation. Although his strength was not weak, facing Zhan's full-strength thunderbolt attack was still powerless. A spellcaster whose defenses were broken was no different from a weak chicken with no defense, let alone being killed by rubble, even being killed by a single sword strike would not be unusual.
"There is no need for this."
Upon hearing Vilna's complaints, Zhen calmly stretched out his hand to push up his glasses before speaking.
"If it were a living person, it would be troublesome. We don't have the time to interrogate and torture now, it's too much of a waste of time and the efficiency is too low...... Enyo, I'll leave it to you."
"Alright, master."
Always quietly standing behind Jen, Enya walked up to the front after hearing Jen call her name, and came to the old bishop who fell on the pile of broken stones. She stretched out her slender white right hand, just a light push, and the heavy stone slab was pushed open. Then she saw Enya grab the old bishop's body with one hand and put it flat on the ground beside her. Seeing this scene, Elise and Vilna were both puzzled, curiously staring at Enya, not knowing what she wanted to do. Seeing their expressions, Jen smiled lightly before speaking up.
"Enoa has a kind of divination technique, which can directly know everything the other party knows without interrogation. For us, this is much stronger than torture. After all, corpses won't lie or resist."
"Is there still such skill?"
Upon hearing this, Vern's eyes lit up instantly. As a dark elf, she had also witnessed the torture of traitors and prisoners within her family, and dark elves were quite fascinated by such cruel interrogations, even considering them a form of entertainment. However, despite this, they still couldn't obtain any information or intelligence from corpses. Of course, necromancers who manipulated spirits might be able to use certain spells to bind the opponent's soul and gather intel, but Enyo didn't seem like that kind of person.
For Enyo, Verna and Iris also had some understanding of her to a certain extent. After all, as Jarn's deputy officer, many things were handled by Enyo herself. It can even be said that most of the time, Verna and others spent far more time with Enyo than they did with Jarn. However, for this deputy officer, they still couldn't figure out what kind of person she was, and all they knew was that Enyo was an immortal being.
However, Enyo's existence still seemed strange to them. As is well known, the undead are beings that have abandoned their souls in order to gain eternal life; they abandon not only their souls but also their emotions. In other words, the undead are actually different from the living and cannot feel joy, anger, sorrow, or pleasure. They are like robots, even if they can cry or laugh, it is just a disguise, like a program. This is also the price and punishment that the undead pay for evading death.
But Enyo was different, although she looked gentle and quiet on a daily basis, this in itself was not right! Undead creatures should not have emotions at all, they should be cold and icy on a daily basis, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, this is simply not an undead creature!
Moreover, they could also see from Enyo's eyes that she had a deep affection for Janne, which was impossible for an unfeeling undead creature.
It can be said that as a subversive "immortal creature", Enyo herself is full of mystery. At this moment, seeing her about to perform some kind of spiritual technique on the old bishop, Verna was also very interested in watching from the side.
It was Elise who, after frowning and carefully examining the scene before her, suddenly turned pale as a sheet. She gazed at the dark elf beside her, who was watching with great interest, opened her mouth to say something, but in the end said nothing, only shaking her head and then lowering it to stare at the ground.
As he took in Elise's expression, Zane raised an eyebrow and looked at the Dark Elf with a hint of a smile, saying.
"Miss Weirunna, why don't you go to the base and search for some letters or books? Maybe we can find some clues."
"We'll talk about it later."
Upon hearing Zane's command, Verna glared at him with dissatisfaction, then looked back at Enyo. Seeing Verna like this, Zane shrugged his and slightly raised the corner of his mouth, no longer paying attention to her. He seemed completely indifferent to Verna's disobedience.
And at this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Enyo finally started her move.
She stretched out her right hand, and with a swift motion, the girl's pale fingers seemed to pierce into the old bishop's body like sharp sword blades. Enyo then slowly moved downwards without any hesitation, and as she did so, the old bishop's corpse was torn open, revealing the hidden bones and internal organs beneath the skin and muscles. The bloody aura that filled the air caused Elise to involuntarily take a step back, and even Verena twitched at the corner of her eye - dark elves were skilled at interrogating the living, but they had no interest in desecrating the dead.
However, in the face of the scene before her, Enyo's expression did not change at all. She smiled and inserted her right hand into the corpse, grasping the heart that had already stopped beating. Under Enyo's action, the heart suddenly swelled up like a balloon filled with air, causing the old bishop's corpse to tremble violently. Seeing this unbelievable scene, Elise inhaled sharply, covering her mouth as she quickly retreated several steps. Meanwhile, Vernna's expression also became much uglier, her gaze wandering aimlessly around, her right hand tightly gripping the hilt of her sword, looking extremely uneasy.
"Hehe......"
Seeing the expressions of the two people, Zhan En smiled lightly.
The so-called spiritual technique is actually similar to the necromancer's imprisonment technique, except that the latter requires imprisoning the opponent's soul, while the former only needs to obtain the opponent's corpse. In the eyes of a spiritual practitioner, the dead have no secrets; they bury their secrets in their hearts, express what they want to say through their tongues, and think in their brains. All this, whether before or after death, will be preserved in their bodies and internal organs. What the spiritual practitioner needs to do is to search their corpses meticulously, like squeezing juice from a fruit, to extract the hidden secrets within.
That's why the scene of spiritualism is often unbearable, just looking at it makes people feel extremely disgusted. Zhan En had already gotten used to it, but Verna and Elise obviously didn't have such mental preparation. Just watching Enoia pull out her intestines, feeling them segment by segment, they were already pale-faced.
And it wasn't until Enyo cracked open the skull, picked up the brain stem and sniffed it like a flower that Elise finally couldn't help but let out a "wow" and turned around to stumble away. Meanwhile, Vilna also stomped her feet hard, gritted her teeth, and eventually turned her head to look at Jan and opened her mouth to speak.
"The other party's patrol team doesn't know when they'll be back, I'd better go find some clues about the identity of these guys first!"
After saying that, Verna turned around and ran away in a flash. Judging from her speed, she was almost as fast as the Shadow Dancer - could it be that this dark elf had a huge surge in power? Perhaps in the future, I should let her watch Enyo's "work site" more often, and maybe after a few times, she might even directly advance to legendary level, which isn't impossible.
Of course, whether Villna is willing or not is another matter.
"Hmm..."
After a moment, Enya finally put down the mangled internal organs in her hand, stood up, took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then nodded at Zhan En.
"Everything is clear now, master."
"Alright."
Hearing Enya's reply, Zhan En nodded in satisfaction and turned around to take another look at the already ruined ruins of the base.
"Let's get out of here."
