Sword God in a World of Magic

After a couple of seconds, Conny lost consciousness.

However, Shang didn't kill her.

"Good work," Jerald said.

Shang looked at Jerald. "Are you sure she was lying?" he said.

"I've been in this political game for long enough, and I can feel when someone is being deceptive."

"90% of what she said was probably the truth, and there probably is a Magic Circle in there with a lot of power."

"However, I think that she uttered two lies."

"Detonating an entire city would be too risky and unbelievable. It would be very difficult to frame us for the destruction. After all, we would have no reason to. The common people might believe it, but the experienced Mages wouldn't believe it. They would know that all of this seems suspicious."

"Because of that, I'm certain she lied about what manner of Magic Circle is in there."

"I don't think it's a large-scale explosion, but a focused release of destructive energy."

"The Council has many ways to gather information, and they probably also know that you have some sort of power that helps you in dealing with Magic."

"And exactly that is what they bet on."

"They want you to enter since you would seem to be the best person for the job."

"Their plan wasn't to frame us but to kill you."

"They know that you are the most important piece in this war. If you die, we have no chance of winning the normal way."

"The second point where she lied is probably her trust in the Council."

"I'm certain that what she said about her family is true, but I think she didn't bet on us. Instead, she trusts the Council to let her family live after she accomplished her mission."

"You would enter the city, go to the Magic Circle, and she would detonate it remotely."

"Her family would be safe, and she would have accomplished her mission."

Shang took a deep breath.
