The warden who guards the witches

After returning from the Thorn Prison, Aiden immediately contacted Abigail and the others and began to exchange the intelligence they had obtained.

The new intelligence Aiden obtained from Heinz and Father Barles was sorted out in timeline. It was roughly like this:

More than ten years ago, the Dragon Spine Empire Army obtained some kind of artifact related to authority and started the "Demon" project. Professor Dodge also participated in the project and took the initiative to let his seriously ill son become an experimental subject, trying to prolong his son's life in desperation.

But unfortunately, the experiment seemed to have failed, and Professor Dodge broke with the Imperial Army. Later, the Empire framed him and put him in prison to control him. As a result, Professor Dodge used his own hidden Hand of Annihilation to escape from prison and became a wanted criminal.

Two years later, Professor Dodge, who hated the Empire, sold key intelligence to the Mother Goddess of Plenty and the Gistas Intelligence Department, and personally assassinated several key figures related to the project. During this period, he twice asked the Mother Goddess of Plenty to cultivate his son's reproductive body.

Then the Intelligence Bureau of the Kingdom of Gistas spent two years infiltrating, and finally destroyed the military base of the Empire's research on the "Demon" project with the help of internal and external forces. However, the "Demon" project did not stop there. After the Empire's data and key materials fell into the hands of the Intelligence Bureau of the Kingdom of Gistas, the Intelligence Bureau restarted the project in Luohui City and named it "Infection".

Due to various factors, the "Infection" plan did not go smoothly and was shelved for a time, but it suddenly made progress in the past two years. Then the Kingdom of Gistas secretly used the Vengeance Temple Mercenary Group to ignite the war between the two small countries in the south. The war directly led to a large number of refugees pouring into Luohui City on the southern border of Gistas for refuge, and the Kingdom's military took the opportunity to kidnap refugees and put them into experiments.

"...The above is the information I received in the past two days." Aiden said and looked around at the other people at the long table.

In addition to Abigail and Qiqimora, there was also Lamia who participated in the discussion this time. This potion queen has a high level of attainments in biological transformation. After discovering the "Infection" plan of the Kingdom of Gistas, Qiqimora and others pulled her into the research team.

The three witches present did not speak. Three pairs of eyes stared at Aiden, and Qiqimora was puffing smoke under the gray fog.

"Why don't you speak?" Aiden was a little scared.

"Your intelligence gathering ability is really admirable. You have dug out the dark secrets of so many countries." Abigail said.

"It's okay." Aiden responded calmly.

"Did you plant your own spies in the army?" Lamia asked suspiciously.

Aiden thought that this statement was not wrong.

"Be careful, I feel that both the Empire and Gistas are going to start putting a bounty on your head." Qiqimora said.

"Now you know, everyone is the same." Aiden spread his hands.

"I don't care, I am the only real wanted criminal here." Lamia stuck out her forked tongue, "I can sell you at any time."

"Okay, let's get down to business, you still have no progress, right?" Aiden asked.

"How come?" Lamia twisted her tail and adjusted her sitting position. "We have roughly deduced the power of authority used in this plan."

"Really?" Aiden was a little surprised. This was indeed a major progress.

"The power of authority used to create demons should be 'chaos'. The effect should be a certain artifact with divinity attached to it, breaking the biological isolation between humans and demons and forcibly merging the two into one individual..." Lamia said in an excited tone, "This is much more exciting than life alchemy. Hehe, kid, do you know the biological isolation between humans and demons?"

"I know, the power of the throne of life cannot affect demons, right?" Aiden answered calmly. He had just learned a lesson from Father Valles not long ago.

"Wow, you know a lot. Haha, Abigail, it seems that your tricks of pretending to be a ghost have been seen through!" Lamia laughed without taste.

"Shut up and talk about serious matters." Abigail replied coldly.

"It sounds a bit rough to be able to break through the difference in biological forms and forcefully mix biological forms." Aiden said, "What is the success rate of such an experiment?"

"I don't know, but it is foreseeable that it will be ridiculously low. Randomness is the key element of the authority of 'Chaos', but this randomness can sometimes cause miracles that would not occur under normal circumstances, as long as the sample is large enough. We studied several groups of experimental materials they had processed in batches and found that the ratio of the demon-eroded part to the human body was very random, so we came to this conclusion." Lamia explained, "From this result, it seems that the ancestors of those demons should be miracle individuals produced in this way, not only allowing the power of the demons to be stably integrated into the human body, but also passing it on."

"To stably mass-produce demons, the key to the success of this project research should be how to increase the success rate as much as possible and stabilize the form of artificial demons. According to the information you just gave, Warden, the empire is probably stuck on these two difficulties." Qiqimora said, "And Gistas has found a direction on this basis."

"What direction?" Aiden asked.

"We guess it should be the authority of 'Balance'. Remember the core area with a fixed number of people? That should be affected by the authority of 'Balance'. It could be a certain artifact, or of course it could be someone who holds power." Kikimora replied.

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure, but this is the most likely possibility." Abigail interrupted, "The secret room presents a fixed state of equilibrium, and the upper limit of the number of living people that can exist is fixed and cannot be easily changed. We have eliminated some of them and believe that the two powers that can do this should be "Order" and "Balance". If the "Order" power declares the rules, this can also be done, but the "Order" power and the "Chaos" power are the upper and lower ends of the same throne, and there will be repulsion. They can't use the power of the "Order" power. Cooperate with 'Chaos' to create demons, but the authority of 'Balance' can. "

"We only know a little about the intelligence of the authority of 'Balance', so this aspect is just speculation." Qiqimora said, "Warden, I remember that you have established a good relationship with the people of Smiling Libra, why don't you go and confirm with her?"

"Have you won over the Smiling Libra? You have a rich source of information, kid." Lamia suddenly laughed hoarsely, "You are now working part-time as an intelligence dealer, and you should make money quickly, right?"

"Forget it, I don't want to be on the assassination list yet."
