Chapter 183: The True Sacrifice

"Do you not know, or do you pretend not to know?"

Wright's tone was lazy, but mixed with ice cubes: "In order to track the traces of the serial murderer, I once went to the police station to check the files.

Later, I realized that the relevant information of those innocent victims had been modified by the inner ghost.

Until now, I haven't found that damn inner ghost.

Now it seems that it must be the handiwork of the castle lord.

Coincidentally, in order to search for some clues, I once skimmed through the crime files of Harbour City.

The Commissioner of Police is a conscientious man with a long prior criminal record that is very detailed.

At that time, I was still puzzled, and I found out that the criminal record in Harbour City had suddenly increased at some stage.

I counted the time, and that was the beginning of Harbour City's thriving prosperity.

At the time, I thought it was the rapid expansion of cities and the rapid accumulation of wealth that gave rise to more evil.

Now think about it......

The magicians introduced by the Sea Clan in your mouth must have appeared at that time.

They claim to be workshop magicians, and after completing the Sea Clan's mission, they accept your employment, choose to stay, and establish the alchemy workshop under the City Lord's Mansion.

It seems that the opposite is true.

It is not the sin that prosperity breeds, but the sin that disguises it as prosperity. ”

Speaking of this, Wright looked at the city lord with a grin: "I can understand that you speak for the workshop magician.

After all, they are able to make cities look richer and more prosperous.

As for the homeless people who disappeared into thin air, the beggars who contracted strange diseases for no reason, and the cases of missing children from time to time......

Actually, it's all weird, it's just an urban legend.

Isn't it? Lord of the Castle? ”

Faced with Wright's question, the city lord sat in his place with a bang, silent.

"A lie is a sugar coating wrapped in poison. This sentence was said by a demon. But it's not necessarily the only demons who do this.

Mr. City Lord, do you know why the village keepers of the fishing village insist on passing down the truth of the matter from generation to generation?

Because, what is fake is fake, it can't be true.

A liar can only sustain a lie if he knows that it is false.

People, you can't lie to yourself.

Otherwise, the price will be too heavy for you to bear. ”

As he spoke, Wright stood up and reached out to tap the city lord's forehead.

"Wait, Your Highness, I ......"

"No need, I'll read it from your soul myself. As for your life, I'll take it.

Don't worry, all the participants, the perpetrators, the vested interests.

I'll find them one by one and send them to you.

So, goodbye, once the hero of the city, now the sinner of the city. ”

With the agitation of energy, the fire of life of the city lord was also extinguished. A death without pain was Wright's last mercy on him.

At the same time, Wright got the answer to something in his mind.

The so-called Workshop Magicians, as he had deduced, had settled here after successfully luring the fishing port.

They seemed to have gone to the small fishing village with a purpose.

Wright speculated that the destruction of the fishing village was the cause of the weakening of the Lie Demon's seal, and also laid the foundation for the Lie Demon's partial consciousness to escape in the future.

Otherwise, at the time of the crisis of the Holy Capital, the Holy Light Goddess lost contact with the mortal realm, and there was only less than half a time to pray.

If the seal at that time was intact, then the Lie Demon would not have been able to exploit the loophole at all.

I really didn't expect that the Tower of Truth would start planning so early.

But who the royal family of the Sea Clan involved was, there was no record in the city lord's memory.

Or, it was artificially erased.

Or, he's just a pawn and doesn't know any of this.

Other mysteries, why did the Little Mermaid Princess get caught and imprisoned, what were the destroyed underground workshops studying, and why did the magic of the Sea Witch go out of sorts?

Again, I couldn't find the answer.

Looking at the corpse on the throne of the city lord, Wright turned around and patted Unica, who was in a daze.

"Let's go."

"Then ...... him"

"When the new city lord takes office, he will take care of these things."

"New ...... A new castle lord? ”

Wright smiled slightly: "What do you think, how is your old leader, the police commissioner?" ”

"Director Wendagarer?"

Yunica's eyes widened: "He...... He was indeed a capable man. But will the other nobles agree? ”

"What if there is a letter of appointment and dismissal issued by the Holy Capital Pope himself?"

"Huh? This! ”

Unica was immediately stunned, according to legal theory, the power of the church is greater than the imperial power. It's just for the sake of the face of the royal families of the various holy subject countries, as well as the tacit understanding between the state and the church.

It is an unspoken rule that the Church rarely interferes directly in the internal affairs of the subject states.

But the unspoken rule is the unspoken rule after all, and the fact is that if it was really Pope Mi Mian who personally ordered Director Wendagger to be promoted to mayor, then the royal family of the First Empire could only pinch their noses and endure it.

"But how can we get a letter of appointment from His Honcy at such a distance from the Holy See's holy capital?

This time and again, it will take more than half a month, right?

Not to mention ......"

Before Unica could finish speaking, she saw Wright pull out a wad of blank letters of appointment with the Pope's seal from her bosom.

He flipped through it, picked one that was a little torn, and handed it to Unika.

"You can write it down in a moment, and then go to the director to report the good news. Oh yes. Let him come to me before he takes office.

I have something to tell him. ”

Unica looked at the blank letter of appointment in her hand, and watched as Wright rolled up a wad of papers and stuffed it into her pocket.

The whole person is messy in the wind.

She had a lot of questions to ask, but in the end she took a deep breath, dispelled the idea, and quickly followed.

As soon as the two of them reached the gate of the castle, shouts were heard behind them.

"Oh no, Legion Commander, he's killed himself!"

Yunica looked back in the direction the voice was coming from, then at Wright.

"This ...... It's not you, is it? ”

"No, but I'm not going to let him go. He can't get out of many things in the city.

When he entered the fishing village, he was also one of them.

Perhaps, when the fog hit, they had already guessed something.

The city lord and this legion commander both have the heart to die. ”

Wright said as he walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Destroying the things they cherish the most with their own hands, the kind of self-blame and self-evil like the waves of the sea, will beat their souls over and over again until they can't hold on."

Yunica looked back at the huge castle and felt a lot of emotion for a moment. By the time she came to her senses, Wright was already some distance away.

She hurried to catch up, following closely behind Wright.

The two stood at Lucerne Boulevard, the boundary between the upper and lower cities, and Unika said goodbye to Wright with a blank letter of appointment, then turned and ran to the harbor police station.

Wright followed the downward street back to his grocery store.

Because everything in the shop is sold out, the store is not open today.

But everyone in the city obviously didn't care about this little grocery store, after all, after last night's turmoil, the fog shrouded in Harbour City finally disappeared today!

The big stone that weighed on people's hearts also dissipated!

The whole city was transformed into a sea of joy. Whether it's the upper or lower town, the residents rejoice, as if they've come to a carnival festival.

Wright had just returned to the backyard of the store when Lilith hurriedly ran over.

"You're back!"

"Well, how's that negative energy digesting?"

"Humph! Piece of cake. With this wave of replenishment, my speed of devouring the power of blasphemy will become even faster. ”

Lilith waved her hand: "By the way, don't talk about that." The Demon Realm, the greeter on the other side of the Demon Realm, seems to be looking for you.

It should be something you ordered, and they have eyebrows. ”

"Oh? Well, it's just the right time. ”

Wright lifted his leg and walked to his room, not forgetting to explain to Lilith.

"If someone comes to me later, ask him to wait for me in the store first."

"Oops! Let me do this kind of chores!? ”

Lilith is unhappy, but now, Alice is restoring and recasting Fairytale Town, and Emily is sleeping heavily, recuperating in the depleted mental and physical strength.

Yunica went out and didn't return, and the Little Mermaid was not suitable to show her head.

Lilith had no choice but to sit in the shop with a reluctant face and wait.

After Wright returned to his room, he immediately activated the magic circle of communication with the demon realm.

Soon, the leader of the greeters, Badlosa, came to him on his knees.

"Oh! My great demon lord! Your most devout subordinates are here to sing the praises of your coming! ”

"Ahh......hh

Wright glanced at Badrosa: "Hey, I haven't seen you for a few days, your strength has improved!" ”

"It's all a gift from the Demon Lord!"

Badrosa bowed repeatedly, his eyes full of awe and gratitude.

"Among the divinities you have given me, there is exactly what I desperately need. Not only me, but all the members of the entire Greeters organization have made great progress with your grace!

Our power in the Thirteen Hells of the Demon Realm has become more stable!

Moreover, we also used the remaining divine fragments to greatly expand our territory, increase our influence, and strengthen the organization!

Now, the status of the Greeter in the entire Demon Realm has entered the top level!

We will continue to follow your teachings! Continue to take the initiative!

Strive to do it, the demon lord is not the same as not!

Great Demon Lord!

The day you arrive, you'll find out!

Your pious servant has cleared all obstacles for you!

Your loyal Demon Realm awaits your King's Landing! ”

Wright stood there, with mixed feelings for a moment, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

I just wanted to let these guys play with themselves at the time, don't just run over to ask for this and that.

After all, the Greeters, like the Victims' Association, was not founded on its own.

Belongs, spontaneous organization.

He really didn't want to spend too much energy on this.

In case after this start, other forces will also set up their own organizations and come to beg for their own leadership.

Then, don't exhaust yourself to death.

Unexpectedly, it seems to be a bit of a big game.

"Ahem, let's not mention the others, did you find the [real] sacrifice I asked you to find?"

"Of course, my great demon lord! Check it out! Here are two of the best offerings we've found for you. ”

Badrosa took out two items and presented them with both hands.

"Zatalco's monument to sin, and a magnifying glass of events."
