Chapter 603: The Unsettling Factor That Breeds

October 8th

"Damn~ Why can't you open the passage after sacrificing so many creatures, shouldn't this happen┉┉

October 14th

"Today, ten slaves were sacrificed again, but the passage is still not open, let alone the great master of communication, even a little bad demon can't come to the world┉┉

October 19

'It's weird!' It stands to reason that the city is full of pain and suffering, and theoretically it should be possible to create a passage on its own initiative, but looking back at the fact that there never seems to be any such thing as the arrival of the masters in this city, it is really abnormal┉┉'

At this point, Claire found that the book seemed to be the diary of a mage, as if it recorded that the mage tried to open the passage and summon something into the world he was in, but it seemed to have been unsuccessful. And what is that so-called little devil? Claire, who still didn't understand, lowered her head and continued reading.

November 3rd

'The news of the report was finally answered, and according to the Order's experiments, the sacrifice was successfully carried out two kilometers away from the periphery of the Free City, but entering the Free City to sacrifice did not work at all, as if a powerful force had blocked the passage of the interface┉┉'

November 7th

Those huge stone pillars built in the free city turned out to be not decorations but this kind of magical device, I really didn't expect the mystery lock to be able to suppress the power of the abyss produced by the sacrifice, no wonder so many sacrifices before couldn't play a role┉┉'

November 13th

"It's a shame that the plan had to be changed because of the Lost Lock, but the question is whether it is to destroy the Lost Lock or directly hijack the person the Great Lord wants, but this has already involved two of the Big Three of the Free City, how can we do it with our little manpower without the help of the power of the Great Demon Master┉┉'

Demon Domination!?

Instantly, Claire noticed the word, as if she had read the relevant introduction on some stolen materials, and the demon was an evil creature from the abyss and hell. It will continue to spread death and suffering on the earth, and now there are many cultists who worship demons on the mainland, and these evil cultists continue to kidnap and kill innocent people and sacrifice them to demons in exchange for power, and cultists have always been the target of severe attacks by the Holy See.

Claire remembered that she had read some materials in some books, and that there had been some magicians who specialized in studying demons from the abyss and hell, and even developed a new kind of magic in an attempt to summon some less powerful demons to enslave them. has made these demons his own. However, this was all hundreds of years ago, and the 'Sage Tower', which once represented the highest achievement of magic on the continent, had a mage summon demons privately, but the summoned demons quickly turned against the mage himself, and then killed dozens of people in the research room, and finally eliminated the out-of-control demons, and the 'Sage Tower' issued a rule prohibiting all research on the summoning of demons.

In addition to the mage's diary, some of the later parts of the book are praises of the so-called demon masters, and also record how to summon demons, and how powerful and terrifying those demons were after they were summoned.

"Hmmmm┉┉It hurts┉┉" Claire, who was about to continue watching, covered her forehead and wailed in pain.

At the thought of it, the gem on Claire's chest, which had been shining with blue luster, quickly dimmed. But the pain did not go away, but became more and more intense, and at this time, the nosebleeds continued to drip down as if the thread was broken, and several drops even fell on the books and stained the paper red.

Hurriedly lay on the bed, Claire covered her head, and stared at the dim roof in pain and helplessness, this is considered to be self-inflicted, and she began to use the power of the gem again before she fully recovered, and I am afraid that some of the sequelae can bear it.

With a miserable laugh, Claire closed her eyes and tried to ignore the pain, but in the pain, Claire's mind was full of the contents of the book just now.

The owner of the book recorded in the book the power of the demon, and once in order to kill the son of a great nobleman, he helped another son inherit the title of nobleman, and the owner of the book summoned a demon. The demon tore a squad of guards to shreds, and the demon used it as a counselor to kill a rival's entire family little by little. And not only that, but there are too many of these deeds that 'praise' the power of the devil are recorded in the book. Especially for the so-called fallen masters, the diary in the book is even more alarmist, saying that as long as the master can come to this world, the free city will either become the possession of the master or be destroyed in an instant.

Destroy the city of freedom, destroy this twisted and cruel city┉┉

For a moment, Claire seemed to forget the pain, and her mind was full of this thought. The city that has brought so much pain to itself has nothing to be nostalgic for, only hatred and anger from the heart. In his eyes, the city is a hellish city, and the inhabitants, merchants, and nobles of the upper districts are demons in hell.

If you can summon demons to this world and let the real demons destroy this demon city, then ┉┉

Gradually, the boy fell into a coma.

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

There is only a thin line between sanity and madness!

When an unexpected discovery in the Free City threatens the city from the clutches of the Abyssal Demons. In the last few days, a group of cultists openly stormed the church of a certain territory city in an attempt to kill priests and believers, and after the city security team received the news that the two sides started a fight, resulting in the tragedy of 23 dead and 40 wounded.

Not long after this case, in the commercial city of the neighboring kingdom of Karut, a group of cultists set fire to the city and incited the lower class poor to riot, causing the entire city to fall into chaos that day and had to impose martial law on the whole city, and finally after suppressing the cultists, the city lost more than one billion lien that day.

Soon after the incident, the Holy See reacted quickly, and the direct agencies of the Holy See quickly strengthened martial law and sent the Knights of Light to begin a large-scale search for cultists, and the two countries of Karlsemen and Karut, which were the countries at that time, also sent out of the city defense team to increase patrols, but a few days later, when the patrol team of a territory of the Kingdom of Korut was ordered to search a workshop suspected of indicating the altar of the cultists, it was attacked by demons from the warped void, and hundreds of soldiers, including the backup troops, were killedThe Blade Demon was eventually reduced to ashes.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses caused by secular forces against demons, the Holy See requested to notify the Holy See for assistance in dealing with the cultists' lair as soon as it was discovered.

However, in the past week, the Holy See, which had raised its vigilance due to the demonic invasion on the side of the Holy Capital in the western part of the continent, reacted quickly, and the Knights of Light directly under the Holy See quickly took out several demon altars with the forces of various countries, and successfully defeated four waves of demons that had entered the main material plane, including a powerful demon at the level of Overseer. And the losses caused were only within a hundred.

The Holy See is very proud of this achievement, because of the invasion of demons, the Holy See consciously leaked some relevant news to the outside world, which not only did not damage the prestige of the Holy See, but made the anti-religious people who originally questioned the Holy See's spread of doctrine just to expand believers and get more benefits had to shut their mouths in front of the facts, and some people who did not believe in the Holy See also became believers one after another.

In the Karlser Gate Empire, Augusta, the titular prince but in fact in power, was walking around the room restlessly with small steps, although the huge magic crystal lamp on the ceiling made the whole room seem like daylight, and the magic array used to regulate the temperature made people dare to warm like spring, but Augusta still felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Your Highness~ It's late at night, please rest as soon as possible to avoid damage to your body. On the side, the concubine, who was most favored by Augusta, said with concern.

Facing this concubine from a marquis's family who grew up almost as a childhood sweetheart, Augusta's face was slightly good, but he still waved his hand: "You go and rest first." ”

The concubine, who grew up with Augusta since childhood, knew his character, and immediately nodded and saluted: "Yes! Then I will step back first, and ask His Highness to rest as soon as possible." ”

When his concubine also grew up as a childhood sweetheart, Augusta sighed, the two were playmates when they were two little guesses, and there would be so many cumbersome etiquette at that time, but Lia became her own concubine, and now that they have grown up, it is impossible to return to the age when they were talking to each other and spitting out their troubles.

Although Augusta was relieved by the gentle look in Leah's eyes before leaving, there were some things that could no longer be told to Leah, just like whether his current prince could really ascend to the throne in the future.

As the prince of the strongest empire in the eastern part of the continent, he has even overthrown his father and become the uncrowned king, but one day he found that in this chess game called the world, he is just an insignificant chess piece, and the real chess player is someone else, this kind of loss and pain is really unbearable.

Why did the prince of the first powerful country in the eastern part of the continent think like this!?

Augusta couldn't help but laugh to himself, all of this was probably thanks to the shocking news brought back by his henchman level 17 mage Leonas. (To be continued......)
