Demons are evil and brutal creatures, and are the public enemy of all the countries on the continent.
According to the research of the mages, demons come from an outer plane called "Abyss" and their only driving force is killing and destruction.
Falling into the hands of the devil is even more terrifying than death.
Raven picked up the spear he had cut off and poked the body of the terror demon with the spear, forcing the acid-covered corpse to make way for him.
Walking out of the stairs, one sees an empty hall that is two people tall. In the center of the hall is a strange figure drawn with red liquid, with white candles placed at several key points on the figure.
A pungent smell of sulfur was emanating from the center of the figure, and Raven could also smell a strong smell of blood from the magic circle itself.
"Is this... a summoning array?"
In Weimar City, crimes involving magic are very common. All guards have been trained in certain magical knowledge, and Raven is no exception. So Raven quickly recognized that the shape on the ground should belong to a large summoning array.
"The raw material for drawing this magic circle..." Raven wiped the magic circle with his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, and his heart sank. "Yes... it's human blood."
I wonder if Vera will blame Councilman Harrington for wasting food after seeing this. This thought suddenly popped up in Raven's mind.
"Then these candles..." Raven walked forward and touched one of the candles.
"These candles are made from human fat..." How many living people are needed to make so many candles? Raven quickly counted the unsolved missing persons cases in Weimar in recent years.
"It shouldn't be enough... Are they slaves purchased from abroad? And the girl upstairs... is she also serving as a reserve for spell materials here?"
Kick over the candle and use your foot to smear the blood on the magic circle drawn on the ground. The magic circle will be completely destroyed and can only be effective after being cleaned up and redrawn.
The smell of sulfur in the air gradually faded, and the magic circle that communicated with the abyss had completely become ineffective.
Seeing that the magic circle had failed, Raven breathed a sigh of relief.
"I never thought that Councillor Harrington would secretly communicate with the Abyss and summon demons."
You can never judge a person by his appearance, Raven thought to himself as he continued searching the room.
"Hmm?" Raven found a small round table in the corner of the room. On it was a notebook with the words "Research Notes Harrington Friedman" written on the cover.
What dimension is Senator Harrington a middle school student from? He even wrote his name on the notebook... Raven complained silently in his heart and opened the notebook.
This notebook was filled with magical terms, and Raven could only partially understand some of them. He could only understand a part of the diary-like text written in vernacular by Councillor Harrington.
"December 3rd
Today I have finally finished drawing the magic circle. If the knowledge that the demon lord taught me in the dream is true, then I can summon a violent and terrifying demon with the strength of a mid-level demon... As long as I give it blood food, it will partially obey my orders. "
…
"December 14th
Gede finally discovered my secret research, but as I expected, he did not intend to expose me, but wanted to use this information to threaten me, so that I could better satisfy his desires. Humph, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just a mindless puppet created by magic for his pleasure. If it is based on a living person, it's easy, and the Cold Federation is about to send another batch of "casting materials". "
…
"December 19th
The spell was very successful. Most of the 'materials' had their consciousness wiped out. The doll customized for Gad had only its memory wiped out, but it also retained its instinctive consciousness and learning ability. Gad was very happy and called her 'Alice'. He said it was the name of his dead daughter. This guy is really perverted. "
…
"December 25th
Success! This violent demon really listens to my instructions! And I only need to provide him with blood regularly! I successfully opened the gate between the Abyss and reality! As long as I expand the scale of this gate and allow the demon lord in my dream to appear in the world, he will give me an immortal demon body and unimaginable power! I will continue to research for the great master!"
The diary ends here. The rest are formulas, calculations, derivations of magic principles, plane maps and other professional knowledge that Raven cannot understand.
Just a few articles gave Raven a chill.
He stretched his head and looked around. There were a lot of bones piled up in the corners. He didn't know whether they were human or animal. With Raven's knowledge, he could tell that at least some of them were human.
"Not only does he summon demons, he is also conducting human experiments and wants to cause the Demon Lord to appear in Weimar City?" Every time the Demon Lord appears, it is a world-class disaster that requires the joint efforts of several legendary strongmen from various countries to contain it.
And every time a demon lord appears, it is basically because a wizard who covets power or wealth seeks his own death. There is never a shortage of such people.
After searching the room again for a while and finding no extra clues, Raven kicked the body of the Terror Demon, which had become ordinary due to the loss of magic and was covered in acid. He sat on the chair that Councilman Harrington had prepared for him, probably for rest, and began to think.
Judging from these research notes, the demon summoner is undoubtedly Senator Harrington himself. In order to summon these demons, he is also studying the forbidden human alchemy, using magic to erase the consciousness of living people and turn them into unconscious puppets...
And according to the notes, the little girl upstairs is the experimental subject called "Alice" by the guard Gad... Harrington tried to create a pure and flawless "doll" with some instinctive consciousness and learning ability to be used for Gad's pleasure, so that Harrington and Gad can be 100% on the same boat.
It's disgusting.
These two people must pay the price and be punished.
I have conducted such a high-profile search in the house today, and even killed the demon that Councillor Harrington had summoned with so much effort. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to hide.
When the two come back and discover what happened, they will certainly be on high alert and may even destroy the evidence to avoid the limelight.
It would be better to do it now than to wait for another day, so the assassination should be done now!
After covering up the traces outside, Raven hid in Councillor Harrington's bedroom, quietly waiting for Councillor Harrington's return.
They waited for an entire afternoon, and Alice in the next room woke up again. Raven covered her mouth with the silk ribbon in the room, and then tied her up with the rope in the room.
These are the things that protect Gad. They have nothing to do with me. Please forgive me, Miss Alice. Raven said to himself as he tied them.
It was not until the sun was about to set that Congressman Harrington finally returned drunk.
Raven was delighted and drank some wine, which was even better.
"Sir, please be careful." Ged supported Congressman Harrington, who was staggering from side to side and almost knocked over the table in the hall.
"It's okay... burp... We're already home, why should we be so careful~" Congressman Harrington burped, and the smell of alcohol made Ged frown slightly.
Raven tore through the advanced invisibility spell on the second floor and moved slowly, trying to make as little noise as possible.
"Sir, I will help you go to your room to rest." Ged supported Harrington and walked slowly upstairs.
"Room? Hiccup... Yes, room... The room is important..." Harrington muttered something as he stumbled up the stairs supported by Ged.
"My room... has..." Harrington touched the door handle and was shocked. "Why is it gone?"
"Bang!"
"Sir, be careful!" A gunshot and Gad's voice rang out at the same time. The masked Raven shot a bullet at Congressman Harrington's heart from the corner of the wall.
Gad stepped forward, and the bullet missed and hit Gad's body, making a clanging sound of metal colliding.
There is close-fitting armor!
Invisibility!
Raven and Ged were both shocked, and then Ged was the first to react. He drew his sword and rushed towards Raven.
Raven had already taken out a spare sword from Gad's room. He was no longer unarmed like when he faced the Terror Demon, so he drew his sword and fought back.
"With only a low-level skill, you dare to assassinate the senator?" The moment Gad took the sword, he had an idea of Raven's approximate strength in his mind and sneered with disdain.
"That's enough for a pervert like you who only knows how to bully the weak." Raven swung his sword in response, but was easily blocked by Gad.
"What did you say!?" Ged jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and slashed at Raven with a sword. Raven had no time to dodge and could only barely block with his sword. The two of them were in a stalemate against the wall and wrestled.
"Haha... I say, I've seen your 'Alice', it's very smooth." As Raven said this, he kicked Gad in the crotch. Gad was distracted for a moment by Raven's words, and was kicked in the crotch, letting out a scream.
"ah!!"
Raven could almost empathize with him, but he didn't dare to delay at all. He bypassed Gad and rushed towards Councilman Harrington, who was still drunk and hadn't reacted to the situation.
"Hah!" Raven stabbed at Senator Harrington's heart with his sword, but was blocked by a thin force field. It was the mage armor that Senator Harrington cast on himself!
Raven's heart sank. In the distance, Gad had already reacted. He was now doubly furious and was charging at Raven with a sword like a mad bull.
Raven grabbed the railing on the second floor and slid down to the first floor. Seeing this, Ged followed him down, but Raven was prepared and picked up a chair in the hall and threw it at Ged.
"Ha!!" Gad chopped the chair into pieces with a sword, showing the strength of a mid-level extraordinary person to the fullest. At this time, Raven no longer had any mutagen to use, and the only trump card left was the high-level Phantom Killer.
Should I use it on Gade?
