Because of the continuous natural and man-made disasters, the entire eastern plain was in a relatively depressed state, and the same was naturally true in the kingdom of Lu Zhanting.

When the previous king was alive, under his dedicated work, Lu Zhanting could barely maintain a state of ruin, which gave the country a faint sense of vigor and upwardness.

But as soon as the bad news of his death came out, and the current king's main focus was not on people's livelihood, Lu Zhanting's country was in chaos.

For example, there have been several homicides and disappearances in the town of Singlidia, where Sivi and his party are passing, and now the whole town is in panic.

However, the chief of the guard of Prince Barres also arranged for everyone to stay and rest in this town, which seemed to be unkind no matter how you looked at it.

After dinner, Bareth arrived at Curran's room, where Sivi was already waiting.

"I've set up a soundproof barrier here, and even if you sing here, you won't hear a sound outside."

Seeing that the prince looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Sivi spoke.

Sure enough, after hearing him say this, Bareth showed a relieved expression.

"I just tried to talk to a couple of townspeople to find out what's going on in this town...... But those people didn't seem to trust outsiders and wouldn't talk to me. ”

As a necessary attribute of a prince, Barris, who has a handsome, handsome and sunny appearance, seems to be the first time to talk to him but was rejected by ordinary people, and the expression on his face is a little lost: "What do you think Miss Rong'er should do to get some information from them?" ”

Kuran touched the smooth hair on Nana's back and thought about it. Then build yì road.

"Give it up."

"Huh?!"

As if he didn't expect the legendary witch to let herself give up so simply, Bareth exclaimed directly.

"I don't think anyone who is talking to a guard with a blue face and glaring angrily at the person being accosted will definitely not be able to talk to him successfully."

At this time, Sivi added on the side.

"Sure enough, that Raymond guy has already betrayed me......"

Bareth sighed and lowered his head, looking a sense of decadence and pity.

"I've already asked some of the most powerful guys in this town, and I've barely gotten some information."

Sivi glanced at the frustrated Bareth before he continued, "First of all, the homicide was committed by the same person. At the same time, the victim's belongings were not lost. The other two victims had nothing in common at all...... In other words, there is a good chance that the killer's act of killing was carried out randomly. ”

"Is it true that a demon warlock has obtained such detailed information in such a short period of time?" Bareth looked up in surprise and looked at Sivid.

Sivi, on the other hand, completely ignored the other party's gaze.

For Sivi. Naturally, the ordinary way of questioning, which takes a lot of time and patience, is not his first choice. After looking at the target. Directly hypnotizing the other party to ask for the information they want is the right way to become a magician! Anyway, the spiritual power of ordinary people is definitely not his opponent......

"In addition, the scene of the murder is very weird."

As he spoke, Sivi casually took out a homemade pencil and a blank piece of parchment, and followed the accounts of those witnesses. I started to draw, and it didn't take a few strokes to draw a lifelike murder scene.

"This is a sacrificial ritual."

Curran took one look at it and immediately decided, "I don't know which demon it was for, but it's definitely a sacrificial ceremony." ”

What does this mean? Has anyone in my family's realm become a believer in the Abyssal Demon? ”

Bareth's head was big for a while, and he didn't know where to start with his own mess, but this time another demon messenger would really be a mess.

It's just that he didn't realize it at all, and the two people in front of him were also the messengers of the demons from the identities on the surface, and the demon warlock played by Sivi was simply a demon......

"This sacrificial ritual is not magic." Sivi made a judgment with certainty: "There are no signs of runes and magic arrays, and at the same time, there are no traces of magic rituals. ”

"Well, it's black magic." Curran nodded very tacitly: "The caster is a dark wizard or a witch. ”

"A dark wizard or a witch...... Miss Velvet, do you have any clues? ”

Bareth, who had no knowledge of this at all, could only ask casually.

There wasn't much contact between witches, and he didn't expect much from them.

"Yes."

"Sure enough, no............ Hey? Bareth opened his mouth in surprise.

"Some time ago there was a witches' dinner in Chiefydeon, where many witches from different systems gathered to exchange witchcraft casting materials, or to share some witchcraft experiences."

Curran said with a look of course: "It was only because of the heavy snow later that most of the witches were trapped in Chieftain Deen, and it was not until the artificial sun of the Edric Academy appeared that those trapped witches left there in a hurry. ”

(Did you also attend the party?) Sivi suddenly asked in a curious whisper.

(Well, but I always thought the aunts there were terrible, so it didn't take long for me to flee home...... ）”

You're a real witch!

The little girl, probably feeling a little itchy biting her ear, shrunk her neck, and then replied in the same soft.

This secret, which only witches knew, made Bareth dispel the last suspicions about Curran and hurriedly asked.

"So which witch do you think did this here?"

"Putting aside the conjecture that 'there is a rookie who doesn't know what the witch's feast does', this is not far from the chief dean, and the witches attending the feast will not normally cause trouble so close and attract the attention of the magician or the Holy See, which means that the witch who caused the incident has reached the point of 'if you don't do it, you can't do it'."

The girl stroked Nana's back, allowing the black cat to stretch comfortably and make a 'purr' sound in her throat, as she pondered, "There is usually only one reason why witches are so eager to kill ordinary people......"

"The Abyssal Demon who made a contract with her needs to be sacrificed at regular intervals...... Right? ”

A thoughtful Sivi took over.

As mentioned earlier, most of the power of witches comes from the demons who have signed contracts with them, and the demons are not obligatory laborists, and almost all demons will charge the price of the witches' offer while providing power.

Of course, there is also the price of 'killing ordinary people', and the kind of demon that collects the negative feelings of the witch when killing, or the soul of the victim.

"As far as I know, only one of the people who attend the witch's feast needs to make a sacrifice in this regard—"

Kuran's face was solemn: "The strongest witch of this era, capable of enlisting seventy-two abyssal demons, the inheritor of the legendary Eclipse Witch System, "Sanelia of the Eclipse". (To be continued......)
