That night, there were several horrific skinning incidents in a row, and the corpses were dumped in the crowded places such as the market and the city gates, so when the officials of Iliaba arrived at the scene to deal with it, the rumors spread like wings to all corners of the city in just one morning.

For the next two days, Iliaba was under an unprecedented state of martial law, with strict access at the city gates and only those with permits allowed to enter and leave the river terminals.

City Hall.

The archon, appointed by the Church of Woking, roared in the conference room, and the two rows of councillors to his left and right had two expressions, one worried and the other indifferent, as if it was none of their business.

"Xhosa, you are in charge of the security of the city, why did Iliaba mix in a large number of demon believers, and you didn't hear anything about it?"

The archon, dressed in uniform, slapped the table and roared.

"Your Excellency, please forgive me for this matter...... a bald middle-aged councilor, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, and putting the sheriff's coat of arms on the table, shook his head and said, "I have done my best to mobilize all the elite scouts to investigate, but there is no clue, I take responsibility for my mistakes, so I voluntarily resigned from the position of sheriff, hoping that my successor can find out all the demon believers and restore Iliaba a peace." ”

The conference room was silent.

The archon's gaze swept over the councillors, but none of the councilors dared to raise their heads to meet the consuls', and everyone was afraid that they would take over the hot potato of the post of 'sheriff'.

Meanwhile.

On the tower of the great merchant Mandel, the god of Bane. The Holy Warrior 'Lone Demon' is staring at the prophecy crystal ball floating in the palm of his hand, and the real-time image of the Supreme Council of Iliaba is unfolding in the orb.

"A bunch of rice buckets!"

More than half of the councillors have been secretly serving the Bane church. As such, there are many ways for the Lone Demon to peek into the council.

The 'lone demon' scolded angrily.

In the past two days, Eliaba has been in a lot of noise, from the big merchants and nobles to the peddlers and pawns, all of them are worried that they will become the target of the demon believers' predation and blood sacrifice the next night.

According to the plan, the Bane Church would soon be able to take over Eliaba in earnest, but this time there was a sudden and series of evil events. The situation in Iliaba has been clouded by a veil. The Lone Demon was shaken.

The great merchant Mandel stood behind the 'Lone Demon' and couldn't help but say, "Lord God, could it be that some demon lord is plotting to seize our Eliaba City?" ”

"There is a possibility ...... this" The lone devil did not reply. He sighed and said, "Fort Santil has been busy monitoring the Moon Sea recently, and another part of the energy is still guarding against the return of the Yin Soul City, and the church's plan in the Western Soil is only the most inconspicuous tail end, with my influence. At most, summon the lords of the Dark Ciep to come and help. ”

"But. There seems to be something wrong with the Dark Citadel, too, and yesterday I sent a magic message to Lord Pergost, and I still haven't responded. ”

"At present, it seems that the trouble of Iliaba City can only be solved by ourselves!" The lone demon tightened his eyebrows.

"That's right!" The lone demon's eyes were fixed on Mandel, "In the battle in the lower region in the first two days, you lost one exemplary professional, how about the other two?" ”

Mage Yule suddenly said goodbye. The Assassin Meg was struck by a strange curse and was being treated at the Temple of Woking. Mandel's mouth was full of bitterness. The set-up that afternoon was not a success, he suffered heavy losses, and the main target escaped again.

"Is that ......?"

A cold light flashed under the eyes of the lone demon.

Mandel's strength has been greatly reduced, and if he wants to quell the demonic rebellion in Iliaba, he is afraid that he will need to rely on more indigenous forces. As a result, Mandel's usable value is almost gone, and the Lone Demon plans to visit another big merchant's tower.

As for who to go to, the 'lone demon' has long been recorded.

"Your Excellency Mandel, I'll take my leave."

Soon, at the foot of the tower, the 'Lone Demon' officially bid farewell to the big businessman.

The great merchant of Iliaba looked at the 'lone demon' in silence, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but at this time, a red ray suddenly shot from the block opposite the tower.

The Lone Demon had just walked down the steps of the tower when he was unprepared when a red ray fell on him head-on.

Thump.

Silently, a corpse fell down the steps.

"Finger of Death!"

Mandel, a big merchant, looked across the street in horror. Only a level 30 caster can cast the [Finger of Death] of the Seven Rings, and there are not many casters at this level in Eliaba!

"Mandel!" A black-robed man used some kind of displacement spell and instantly appeared in front of the big merchant and removed his hood.

At this moment, Mandel's face was full of disbelief.

This black-robed man is actually Marcus, the famous playboy of Iliaba!

However, Mandel discovered that the Marcus was imbued with a strong aura of evil, his original blonde hair had fallen out, and his bare head was covered with intricate dark red tattoos.

In the face of "Marcus's" red and black eyes, Mandel's legs weakened, and his will suddenly collapsed and he sat on the ground, and a wet stain soon spread under his body.

"Marcus" opened his mouth to say something silently, and the whole block seemed to fall silent, and Mandel, who was slumped on the ground, nodded mechanically, and finally his expression and eyes became numb and dull, apparently manipulated.

“…… I'm guilty...... I'm guilty...... I'm guilty......"

Mandel's mouth chattered like a green worm slowly crawling into his tower, and after a while, the tower was enveloped in a burst of fire, and the players and natives of the entire city of Eliaba could see a thick column of smoke wafting up.

The self-immolation of the big businessman Mandel, which took place in the light of day, further aroused the fear of the people of Iliab.

In addition to "Marcus", I am afraid that only the lone demon knew that he was overshadowed by the "finger of death", and when he was resurrected in the Woking Temple, rumors of Mandel's self-immolation even spread in the Woking Temple.

The Lone Demon felt like he was being choked by an invisible hand of darkness.

"Why ......"

The 'lone demon' is really puzzled. The god he followed was the Dark King, but as Bane's god, the 'lone demon' only felt powerless in his heart at this time.

He thought a lot about it after the resurrection, and even added the church of Ciric to the list of suspicions, but in the end, all he thought was speculation based on no clues.

Standing at the gate of the temple of Woking's church, the 'lone demon' looked at the pillar of smoke that had not yet dissipated in the direction of Mandel Tower, and the color in his eyes gradually became firm.

Ilyaba can only belong to him and Bane! (To be continued.) )
