"Thank you," the Pope smiled at Alwin, and used his powers to let Cassandra and the four paladins see Lindon.
"He truly looks different from the one who was executed!" Cassandra gasped.
The four paladins gawked as well.
"Yes, because he is different from the one who was executed. He simply occupied that body," Alwin explained.
He refrained from saying more since there was information they could not share yet.
"Magician, what is your real name?" The Pope asked Lindon.

Lindon closed his eyes and refused to speak.
[Why should I tell him? So he can dig for information about me? No way.]

"What happened?!" Cassandra asked when Lindon's soul floated without any reaction to them, no matter what they said.
"He always does this when we try to question him.
Even while imprisoned, he has a way to use dark magic and make himself 'sleep' in this state.
