Upon hearing the other personās words, Raine couldnāt help but scrutinize the individual.
This person was wearing a dark purple striped priest robe, with a giant purple spider design in the middle, and had magic iron shackles on both hands and feet.
Although imprisoned, there were no signs of abuse on the personās face.
"Are you a priest of the Difor family?" At this moment, Meredith also carefully observed the person, then spoke.
Raine noticed that upon hearing the words āDifor family,ā the person visibly paused, clearly surprised by Meredithās ability to reveal their origin.
"It seems you have a rich experience, but now itās meaningless to delve into my origin, the patrol is coming soon. Quickly let me out, and I will tell you the whereabouts of your father."
"I canāt let you out now. Once youāre out, you might cast a spell to leave, and my companion and I will become targets." Meredith shook her head and refused.
She was well aware of the nature of Drows.
"No, I will wait for all of you to leave together. Besides, if you donāt let me out now, I can still shout and attract the patrol."
As expected, the other person showed a cunning expression.
"Iāll give you ten seconds to consider. Ten!"
"Nine!"
At this moment, Raineās eyes suddenly emitted a faint blue light, causing the imprisoned Drow Priestess to suddenly become dazed, and her whole body swayed slightly.
Then, Raine smiled at Meredith:
"Your father has been sent to the disciplinary chamber for punishment."
"This person is called Beatrice, definitely canāt be let out, as once out, she will immediately attract the patrol and seize the chance to escape!"
"Damn it! You... you can use mind-reading!" The Drow Priestess Beatriceās eyes widened as she pointed at Raine, exclaiming in shock.
There is no mind-reading spell on the Valzeg Continent, with a similar spell being a Second Level Spell āDetect Thoughts,ā but it generally requires a significant difference in Spiritual Power between the two sides to obtain any useful content.
And as a priest, Beatrice herself has strong Spiritual Power, and more critically, she didnāt notice the opponent having any spellcasting prep phases.
No spell, no hand sign, not even any motion of using magic equipment, yet her surface thoughts were read!
Itās truly unbelievable!!
Meredith also looked at Raine in surprise.
Itās not that she doubts Raineās words, but the entire process was too unexpected for her.
She was concentrating hard on how to negotiate with the other party to obtain her fatherās whereabouts, while also preventing the other party from retaliating and alerting the patrol.
But Raine solved the matter in an instant!
Actually, Raine just used the Spell-like Abilities from his Shapeshifter BloodlineāSurface Mind Reading Spell lv1.
Surface Mind Reading Spell lv1: Consumes a certain amount of Spiritual Power; you can read the surface thoughts of a creature within 20 meters from you, such as the individualās name, psychological state (whether they are afraid, happy, sad, etc.), and their current thoughts (scattered memories), etc.
(Note: The stronger the opponentās Spiritual Power, the less information you can obtain, or even getting nothing at all.)
If Raine was still at Level 3 Classes when he recently acquired the Shapeshifter Bloodline, this reading attempt might have likely failed.
But after continuously leveling up and being strengthened by bathing in dragon blood, Raineās current Spiritual Power now exceeds that of the Drow Priestess Beatrice.
Moreover, he seized the moment when she was caught off guard to achieve good results.
Though itās just some scattered information, it was already enough.
"Shall we go to the disciplinary chamber now?" Raine saw Meredith was somewhat dazed and immediately reminded her.
"No, the disciplinary chamber is in the core area of the family residence, and even with Kabiaās identity, without permission, one cannot just enter freely." Meredith furrowed her brows and shook her head.
"Then we release all the prisoners on this floor, and in the chaos, forcefully break into the disciplinary chamber?" Pausing for a thought, Raine then proposed a rather audacious plan.
However, Raine had carefully considered this plan.
After all, the situation at the entrance guards canāt last long, and the patrol team is about to arrive here, their time is very tight, and a decision must be made immediately.
Upon hearing Raineās words, Beatrice, who originally planned to shout and alert the patrol, now looked at Raine with some surprise.
"This... Itās not impossible." After seriously considering it, Meredith couldnāt help but nod.
Raineās method, although crude, gains effectiveness upon brief reconsideration.
The escape of dozens of powerful prisoners will undoubtedly cause quite a commotion within the Breagan Family residence.
However, this move also comes with significant risks, likely prompting transcendent mid-tier, or even transcendent high-tier powerhouses to step in personally.
Naturally, this also creates an excellent opportunity for her and Raine to break into the disciplinary chamber.
Opportunity and risk coexist.
Just as the two were about to act, suddenly, a voice came from the entrance on one side of the corridor:
"How come Theodore and Jedick are sleeping?"
"If the captain finds out, weāre going to get scolded again!"
Following the talking voices, two male Drow guards came into view alongside Raine and Meredith, escorting an older-looking male Drow prisoner from the side.
"Father!" Meredithās eyes widened, her whole body trembled, and she murmured.
