The Dean Has Arrived

Because of the continuous natural disasters, the entire eastern plain is in a relatively depressed level, and it is naturally the same in the Lu Zhanting Kingdom.

When the former king was alive, under his dedicated work, Lu Zhanting was able to barely maintain the state of waiting for prosperity, which gave the country a faint sense of prosperity.

But as soon as the sad news of his death came out, and the current king didn't focus on people's livelihood, chaos arose in Lu Zhanting's country.

For example, there were several homicides and disappearances in Xinjiweiya Town, where Xi Wei and his party were passing by, and now the whole town is in panic.

However, the head of the guard of Prince Bai Ruisi arranged for everyone to stay in this town to rest.

After dinner, Barris came to Kuran's room, and Xi Wei was already waiting inside.

"I've installed a sound-proof barrier here, even if you sing here, you won't hear any noise from outside."

Seeing that the prince was hesitant to speak, Xi Wei spoke.

Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Barris showed a relieved expression.

"I tried to talk to a few townspeople just now, trying to find out what happened in this town... But those people don't seem to trust outsiders, and they don't want to talk to me."

As a necessary attribute of a prince, Barris, who has a handsome, sunny and pleasant appearance, seems to be the first time to talk to ordinary people, but he is rejected by ordinary people. Get some information?"

Kuran stroked the smooth hair on Nana's back and thought about it. Then suggested.

"give up."

"Eh--?!"

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

"I think that if anyone is talking with a guard who is glaring at the person being talked to with a livid face behind him, he will definitely not be able to make a successful conversation."

At this time, Xi Wei added from the side.

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

Barris sighed, lowered his head, and looked extremely decadent and pitiful.

"I have also asked some high-ranking and powerful guys in this town, and barely obtained some information."

Xi Wei glanced at the frustrated Barris before continuing: "First of all, the murder was committed by the same person. At the same time, the victim's property was not lost. The other two victims have nothing in common...for In other words, there is a high probability that the murderer's killing was random."

"As expected of a demon warlock, did you get such detailed information in such a short period of time?" Barris raised his head in surprise and stared at Xi Weidao.

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

For Xi Wei. Naturally, the ordinary way of questioning, which required a lot of time and patience, was not his first choice. After seeing the target. Directly hypnotizing the other party and asking for the desired information is the right way to be a magician! Anyway, the mental power of ordinary people is definitely not his opponent...

"In addition, the murder scene is very strange."

As he spoke, Xi Wei casually took out a homemade pencil and a blank piece of parchment, and followed the narration of those witnesses. I started to draw, and within a few strokes, I drew a lifelike murder scene.

"This is a sacrificial ceremony."

Kuran glanced at it and immediately decided: "Although I don't know which demon it is for, it is definitely a sacrificial ceremony."

"What does this represent? Has anyone in my family's territory become a follower of the abyss demon?"

Barris had a headache for a while. He didn't know where to start with the mess at home. This time, another demon messenger appeared and it really became a mess.

It's just that he didn't realize at all that the two people in front of him could be regarded as the demon's emissary in terms of their apparent identities, and the demon warlock played by Xi Wei was simply a demon...

"This sacrifice ceremony is not magic." Xi Wei made a positive judgment: "There are no signs of runes and magic circles, and there are no traces of magic rituals."

"Well, it's black witchcraft." Kuran nodded tacitly: "The caster is a black wizard or witch."

"Dark wizard or witch...Miss Fluffy, do you have any clues?"

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

There weren't many connections between witches, and he didn't expect too much from it.

"some."

"Sure enough... Huh?" Barris opened his mouth in surprise.

"Some time ago, there was a witch dinner in Chief Dean. Many witches from different systems gathered together to exchange witchcraft materials or share some witchcraft experiences."

Kuran said with a face of course: "It was only because of the heavy snow that most of the witches were trapped in Chief Dean. It was not until the artificial sun at Edric College that the trapped witches left in a hurry. .”

"(Then you also attended the party?)" Xi Wei suddenly asked curiously in a low voice.

"(Well, but I always feel that the aunts there are too scary, so I ran away home after a while...)"

You are a real witch, hello!

The little girl probably felt itchy from biting her ears, she shrank her neck, and then replied softly.

This kind of secret that only the witch knew made Barris dispel the last trace of doubts about Kuran, and hurriedly asked.

"Then which witch do you think is responsible for this situation here?"

"Leaving aside the corny conjectures of 'some rookies who don't know about the witch's night banquet', this place is not far from Chief Dean, and the witches attending the dinner will generally not cause trouble in such a close place. Come to the attention of the magician or the Holy See, which means that the witch who caused the incident has reached the point of 'I can't do this'."

The girl stroked Nana's back, let the black cat stretch its waist comfortably, and made a 'gurgling' sound from its throat, while thinking: "There is usually only one reason why witches kill ordinary people in such a hurry. ..."

"The abyssal demon that signed a contract with her needs to be sacrificed regularly... right?"

The thoughtful Xi Wei took the conversation.

As I said before, most of the power of witches comes from the demons who signed contracts with them, and demons are not volunteers. Almost all demons will charge the price provided by witches while providing power.

Naturally, there are also costs such as 'killing ordinary people', and what the devil charges is the negative emotions of the witch when she kills, or the soul of the victim.

"As far as I know, among the people who participated in the witch's night banquet, there is only one person who needs to perform this kind of sacrifice—"

Kuran's face was solemn: "The strongest witch of this era can command seventy-two abyssal demons, the successor of the legendary lunar eclipse witch system, and the lunar eclipse Xanalia." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, The novel is better and updated faster!
