My health recovery is incredibly fast.

The remaining 12 spies were all intelligence agents of the Templar army.

They had just arrived in the Western Continent and settled into their pre-planned lodging when they were kidnapped by blood magic clones disguised as demons.

It is anticipated that in the next seven days, as Grandabech's activities in the Starry Night Kingdom become more frequent, more Temple Army intelligence personnel will arrive in the Western Continent.

Xia Zuo wanted to capture all these intelligence agents and frame them all on Grandabech.

Besides these, many other dramas are about to unfold.

...

Starry Night Academy.

Shazo's true form arrived here together with Rexor.

The two went to Beatrice's study together, obtained a spellcasting permit to cast spells in the Western Continent, and then flew to the place where the fully-formed Pleasure Specialist had recently appeared.

Two or three minutes after leaving Starry Night Academy, Xia Zuo and his companion landed in the backyard of Thales Meso's shop.

The metal fence between this shop and the backyard of the neighboring shop has disappeared. The area where the fence used to be is now black and shiny, with a large puddle of molten iron scattered around, reflecting a cold light in the morning sun.

The floor tiles were cracked, the flower beds collapsed, the old trees withered and died, and Teresa's alchemy room and residence were split into several pieces, with obvious scorch marks on the broken beams.

“The battle last night was intense.” Rexor stepped across the molten iron on the ground and entered Teresa’s backyard, his nostrils flaring as he slowly scanned the entire area.

"I smelled the strong stench of the blood wax demon body, the sweaty odor of the deformed dog, and the sour, bloody stench left by the corrupted demon servants... Just as Dim wrote in his report, the Pleasure Commissioner summoned these cannon fodder demons on the spot."

Rexor frowned, his expression complex, and rubbed his shiny forehead a few times:

"Why does the Pleasure Specialist possess the ability to summon these lowly demons? Isn't that a specialty of hybrid mages?"

The blood and blood patterns mixed by a hybrid mage do not only come from superiors, but they can also mix the blood of various inferior demons into their bodies.

Just as Shazo summons blood element servants and uses mutant materials to create blood magic puppets, hybrid mages can use the blood materials stored in their bodies to more quickly condense low-level demons, achieving a massive army-building effect by summoning a large number of creatures to fight.

"Master, have you ever seen any of these otherworldly demons that possess the abilities of a hybrid mage in the eastern region?"

"Not at the moment." Rexor walked towards Theresa's residence:

"We have been on high alert, wary of the vanished half-blood mage suddenly reappearing..."

"It now appears that although the life force of the hybrid mages was recycled by the Church of the Otherworldly Demons and used as nourishment to incubate the Otherworldly Demon army, the hybrid magic they possessed was instilled into the Church's high-level combat force."

The bald man stopped in front of the overturned doorframe at Teresa's place, glancing back at the backyard filled with vagrants:

"I must say, this approach of combining hybrid magic with high-level alien demons has indeed been remarkably effective. If this fully-formed Pleasure Specialist hadn't mastered hybrid magic, last night's battle would have ended much faster, and no one would have been injured."

After speaking, the bald man released blood magic lines to straighten the crooked door frame and led Xia Zuo through what could barely be considered the main entrance into Teresa's residence, where the roof had several large cracks.

After a thorough inspection, the bald man discovered several traces left by hybrid magical summons.

"The alien demons that have infiltrated the Starry Night Kingdom this time are not simple."

Rexor arrived at the sun-drenched, dilapidated backyard and manipulated several blood magic lines to collect liquids, residues, and other items tainted with the scent of hybrid magic summons. His alchemy pouch was already filled with clues from inside the house.

"High-level alien demons that can cast hybrid magic can be considered a new type of enemy. If, on the main battlefield, the Temple army is attacking a floating turret position, and the floating turret suddenly summons a large number of low-level alien demons to obstruct the attack, then the plan to capture the position will inevitably be delayed, seriously affecting other attack routes."

Rexor gathered clues in the backyard while slowly analyzing them:

“We don’t know when it started, but the Church has granted higher demons the ability to use hybrid magic. If this phenomenon has been around for a while, the problem could be very serious, because many of the protective arrays in the temple are only designed for a single type of demon and do not include hybrid magic in their countermeasures list.”

It's like adding a complicated mechanical lock to an iron gate.

The guard of the gate only thought that someone might use a hammer or something similar to forcibly break into the iron gate, so he reinforced and thickened the outer shell of the door lock mechanism. However, he did not expect that the person breaking in would take out an electric drill, drill holes in the door hinges, and simply remove the door.

If the countermeasures list of the protective array has a loophole, then the protective array will be rendered useless.

At the start of the war, this was undoubtedly the most pressing hidden danger that the Temple had to deal with immediately.

Rexor dispersed the blood magic lines, weighed the alchemy pouch in his hand, and looked towards the Starry Night Castle on the mountain:

"Is that fully-formed Pleasure Specialist locked up in the underground cell?"

“Yes, Master.” Xia Zuo nodded.

Rexor emphasized, "Keep a close eye on it, don't let it escape, and don't communicate with it. I need to contact the Arcane Guild now. When I get back, we'll interrogate that high-ranking demon; there might be an arcane mage with me then."

“Yes, Master. The protective array in the castle is already at full capacity; that Pleasure Specialist cannot escape.”

"Alright, I'll be leaving for a bit." Rexor waved to Shazo, cast an invisibility spell on himself, and then flew towards the horizon.

Xia Zuo knew where the bald man was going.

It simply involves finding the spies the Mystic Guild had planted in the Starry Night Kingdom and using their encrypted alchemical communication devices to transmit extremely important information to the Mystic Guild.

The bald man was destined to gain nothing and returned in disappointment and unease.

The reason is simple—Xia Zuo had already crippled the underground intelligence system of the Western Continent, making it impossible for any information above the top secret level to be transmitted to the other side of the sea through the encrypted alchemical communication device.

...

At noon on the same day.

The sweltering heat did not affect the mage apprentices at Starry Night Academy.

Dressed in the temperature- and clean robes of mages, they strolled through the Starry Night Castle, where the temperature and lighting were just right, enjoying the sumptuous lunch and leisurely afternoon rest provided by the academy.

After Xia Zuo and An Ru'er had lunch, they first took her back to her dormitory, and then, at just the right moment, they appeared in front of the bald man who had just landed at the university.

Seeing the dark cloud over the other party's expression, Xia Zuo knew that he had made another correct move; there were no intelligence agents from the Western Continent hiding within the Starry Night Kingdom.

"It seems that something bad has happened."

Two silver sand hands slowly stirred the glass jar beside Xia Zuo, walking down the tower's corridor as if they had just finished an alchemical experiment.

He walked towards the bald man who had just landed on the tower terrace and asked:

"Is there anything I can do to help, Master?"

Rexor opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out half a second later. "No, Shazo, you can't help with this. Don't wander around outside the academy alone lately. The Otherworldly demons lurking in the shadows are more troublesome than I thought."

Rexol sniffed the air, his gaze falling on the glass jar:

"These are two highly poisonous potions designed to target hybrid mages?"

“Yes.” Xia Zuo nodded. “After you confirmed that the Pleasure Specialist possessed hybrid magic abilities, I came back specifically to prepare a highly toxic potion, which I plan to fill into the protective array of the underground cell later.”

Rexor looked on with approval, knowing that a teammate who wouldn't hold you back was more important than anything else. "Well done, Shazo."

He rummaged in his alchemy pouch and tossed over an iron pot, saying, "Add this Witcher School's special potion to the protective array as well."

Xia Zuo caught the iron kettle with his silvery palm. "No problem, I'll go now."

“I’m going to see the Pleasure Commissioner too, let’s go together.” Rexor followed closely behind Shazo, and together they walked towards the spiral staircase at the end.

After passing through several hidden security checkpoints, Xia Zuo and his companion arrived at a brightly lit underground prison.

The protective array, operating at full power, consumes an astonishing amount of energy, but its protective effect is also very effective.

Abundant light filled every corner, leaving not a single shadow for the Shadow Demon to leap across. The colorless dust permeating the air was a deadly weapon against any shapeshifting demon, capable of directly disintegrating and melting it while it was in shapeshifting.

The solid walls, floors, and ceilings are paved with enchanted stone bricks, and the silver candlesticks on the walls conceal directional alchemical bombs. Once these bombs explode, they can wipe out the underground dungeon along with any escaped Otherworldly beings, ensuring that any Otherworldly beings coming to rescue the Pleasure Commissioner will not return alive.

Under comprehensive protection, the pleasure specialists, bound in the prison, had no chance of escape.

Xia Zuo put on his bald head and methodically unlocked each level, taking nearly ten minutes to walk the last 50 meters and reach the deepest part of the underground prison.

"That bottle, enchanted with the [Stonehearth] effect, contains the fully-fledged Pleasure Specialist."

Xia Zuo pointed to the prison fence directly in front of him:

"Should I open it to confirm, Master?"

"Of course, give me the authority. I want to interrogate this alien demon thoroughly."

Rexor took the pendant from Shazor, unlocked the magic circle on the metal bars of the cell, and went to the bottle.

Chapter 61 Bald Head, Bald Head, No Worries About Guidance

"Opening" the bottle is just a figurative way of saying it; a seasoned witcher wouldn't be foolish enough to actually lift the cap and peek inside.

Rexor took out powder, sand, and potion, set up a multi-effect magic circle, then made a hand gesture, outlined the spell patterns, and cast the [Judgment] spell, which is used to torture demons.

A beam of white light, devoid of any elemental energy, shot from the bald man's finger and landed on the exquisite embossed pattern on the bottle's surface.

The [Stone Hearth] enchantment effect of the metal bottle was activated, and the bottle's appearance changed from a silvery-white sheen to a grayish-white stone texture.

A stone prison, shrunk to more than ten times its original size, appeared before our eyes.

The pleasure specialist, now in his true form, lay limply on the stone floor like a fish out of water, the bulge in his chest rising and falling slightly with his weak breathing, looking as if he might stop breathing and die at any moment.

Needless to say, this is a smokescreen by the Pleasure Commissioner.

Hybrid magic itself cannot grant the caster a high vitality attribute value, but in order to successfully cast such spells, the caster will try every means to increase their vitality. Therefore, the aliens who can cast hybrid magic will not have a low vitality attribute value.

The pleasure specialist, who appears to be on the verge of death, could probably endure a few more beatings before truly reaching a near-death state.

Rexol was well aware of the situation.

He maintained the spellcasting motion with his left hand, raised his right hand to pour the secret medicine into himself, and then used his right hand to draw another spell pattern, casting a spell to read memories.

The Judgment spell can control the body and mind of demons, making it easier to read their memories and greatly increasing the success rate of casting two spells simultaneously with both hands.

Rexor squinted, quickly browsing through the Pleasure Commissioner's memories in a shallow meditative state.

As a high-level alien demon proficient in biotin, will control, and the creation of pleasurable memories, the fully-formed Pleasure Specialist often weaves many false memories for himself to protect core secrets.

One must experience each memory containing indescribable content one by one in order to find out which memories are real.

This is undoubtedly a great test for the spellcaster.

In Xia Zuo's previous life, only seasoned professionals known as "pornography reviewers" could probably maintain such a calm and unwavering attitude.

Rexor performed admirably, maintaining his casting posture with a blank expression, his face showing nothing but solemnity.

After casting the spell for five minutes, he exhaled a long breath, and the magical light from his fingertips dissipated.

Looking at the sealed container restored to its original state, Rexor's expression could be described as full of sorrow.

"Unbelievable...it's truly unbelievable..."

Rexol muttered words of deep astonishment, crossing his arms and circling the metal bottle again and again:

"These high-level demons have actually figured out all the underground defenses in the Starry Night Kingdom, and have the whereabouts and contact information of all intelligence personnel..."
