'Damn~ Why can't the passage be opened even after sacrificing so many creatures? This shouldn't happen┉┉'
October 14
'Today, ten slaves were sacrificed again, but the passage is still not open. Not to mention communicating with the great master, not even a little lemure can come to the world┉┉'

'really weird! It stands to reason that this city is full of pain and torture. In theory, it should be possible to actively create passages, but looking back, it seems that the arrival of masters has never happened in this city. This is really abnormal. ┉┉'
After reading this, Claire discovered that this book seemed to be the diary of a certain mage. It seemed to record that the mage tried to open a channel to summon something into the world where he was, but it seemed to have been unsuccessful. And what is the so-called little evil devil? Claire, who was still a little confused, lowered her head and continued reading.
November 3rd
'The news reported back finally got a response. According to the sect's experiment, the sacrifice was successfully carried out two kilometers away from the outside of the free city. However, when entering the free city, the sacrifice did not work at all. It seemed that there was a powerful force. Blocked the interface channel┉┉'

'Mysterious lock! ? The huge stone pillars built in the free city turned out to be not decorations but magical devices. I really didn't expect that the mythical lock could suppress the power of the abyss generated by the sacrifice. No wonder so many previous sacrifices had failed. Can't work┉┉'
November 13
'Damn it, the plan had to be changed because of the Mystery Lock, but the problem is whether it is to destroy the Mystery Lock or directly kidnap the person the great master wants, but this has already involved two of the three giants of the Free City. , how can we do it with our little hands without the help of the power of the great demon master┉┉'
Demon Lord!
Claire instantly noticed this word. She seemed to have read the relevant introduction in some stolen information. Demons are evil creatures from the abyss of hell. They will continue to spread death and pain on the earth. Now there are many demon worshipers on the continent. These evil cultists constantly kidnap and kill innocent people and sacrifice them to the devil in exchange for power. Cultists have always been the targets of severe crackdowns by the Holy See.
Claire remembered that she had read some information in some books. There used to be some magicians who specialized in studying demons from the abyss of hell, and even developed a new magic to try to summon some less powerful demons to enslave them, turning these demons into their familiars. However, this was all hundreds of years ago. There used to be a mage who secretly summoned demons at the 'Tower of the Sage', which represented the highest achievement in magic on the mainland. But the summoned demon quickly backfired on the mage himself, and then killed dozens of people in the research room. After finally eliminating the out-of-control demon, the 'Tower of Sages' issued regulations prohibiting all research on the summoning of demons.
In addition to the mage's diary, some of the content at the back of the book praises the so-called demon master, and also records how to summon demons. And how powerful and terrifying those demons were after they were summoned.
"Uh-huh┉┉It hurts┉┉" Claire, who was about to continue reading, suddenly started wailing in pain while covering her forehead.
In the blink of an eye, the originally shining blue gemstone on Claire's chest dimmed quickly, but the pain did not disappear but became more intense. At this time, the nosebleeds continued to drip down as if they were broken, and several drops even fell. The paper was stained red on the book.
Claire hurriedly lay down on the bed, covered her head and stared at the dim roof in pain and helplessness. This was her own fault. She started to use the power of the gem again before fully recovering. I am afraid that some of the sequelae may be unbearable.
With a miserable smile, Claire closed her eyes and tried to ignore the pain, but in the midst of the pain, Claire's mind was filled with the contents of the book just now.
The master who wrote the book recorded the power of demons in the book. He once summoned a demon in order to kill the son of a great nobleman and help another son inherit the noble title. And that demon tore all the guards of a team into pieces, and some demons used it as an adviser to murder a competitor's whole family bit by bit. Not only that, the book also records too many deeds that 'praise' the power of demons, especially for the so-called fallen master. The diary in the book even more alarmingly writes that as long as the master can come to this world, The Free Cities will either become the possession of the Overlord or be destroyed in an instant.
Destroy the free city, destroy this twisted and cruel city┉┉
For a moment, Claire seemed to have forgotten the pain, and her mind was filled with this thought. There was nothing worth remembering about this city that had brought so much pain to her. It only made people feel hatred and anger from the bottom of their hearts. In his own eyes, this city is a city of hell. The residents, merchants and nobles in the upper areas are the devils in hell.
If I could summon the devil into this world and let the real devil destroy this devil city, then┉┉
Gradually the boy fell into sleep.
┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉
There is a thin line between sanity and madness!
When an unexpected discovery in the Free City caused the entire city to be threatened by the claws of the abyssal demons in the future, the territory of Kalsemmen, the strongest empire in the eastern part of the continent, was truly invaded by demons. In the past few days, a group of cultists openly broke into a church in a certain territorial city and tried to kill pastors and believers. After the city security team received the news and arrived, the two sides started fighting, resulting in the death of twenty-three people. A tragedy in which forty people were injured.
Not long after this case occurred, in the commercial city of the nearby Karut Kingdom, a group of cultists set fires everywhere in the city and incited the poor people from the lower classes to launch riots. As a result, the entire city fell into a melee that day and had to put the entire city under martial law. . In the end, after suppressing this cultist, the city lost more than one billion Lien that day.
Not long after the incident, the Holy See responded quickly. The agencies directly under the Holy See quickly strengthened martial law and dispatched the Bright Knights to start a large-scale search for cultists. The two countries of the time, Kalsemmen and Kalute, also dispatched The city defense team stepped up patrols. However, a few days later, when the patrol team in a certain territory of the Kingdom of Korut was ordered to search a workshop suspected of being a cultist altar, they were attacked by demons from the Twisting Nether, including the backup troops. Hundreds of soldiers died in battle. With the assistance of mages directly under the city defense team and monks of the Vatican, several powerful 'blade demons' from the Twisting Nether were finally reduced to ashes.
This demon attack caused the Holy See to immediately notify the royal families in the eastern part of the continent. In order to avoid unnecessary losses caused by secular forces fighting against the devil, the Holy See requested that when a cultist's nest is discovered, the Holy See be notified as soon as possible to assist in dealing with it.
However, in the past week, the Holy See, which was on heightened alert because of the demonic invasion of the Holy City in the western part of the continent, responded quickly. The Knights of Light, directly under the Holy See, combined forces from various countries to quickly take down several demon altars and successfully defeat them. Four waves of demons entered the main material plane, including a powerful demon at the warlord level. The damage caused was only within a hundred people.
The Holy See is deeply proud of this achievement. Because of the invasion of demons, the Holy See consciously leaked some relevant information to the outside world. This not only did not damage the prestige of the Holy See, but also made anti-religious people who originally doubted that the Holy See spread doctrines only to expand believers and gain more benefits. Everyone had to shut up in the face of the facts, and some people who did not believe in the Holy See became believers one after another.
In the Carlsermen Empire, Augusta, who is a prince in name but has actually gained power, is walking around the room anxiously with small steps. Although the huge magic crystal lamp on the ceiling makes the whole room seem like daylight, The magic circle used to regulate the temperature made people feel as warm as spring, but Augusta still felt as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Your Highness, it's already late at night, please rest as soon as possible to avoid damage to your body." The concubine who was usually the most favored by Augusta was saying with concern.
Facing this concubine who came from a marquis family and was almost a childhood sweetheart with him, Augusta looked slightly better but still waved his hand: "You go and rest first."
The concubine who grew up with Augusta knew his character, and immediately nodded and saluted, "Yes! Then I will retire first, and please Your Highness to rest as soon as possible."
When his concubine, who was also his childhood sweetheart, left, Augusta sighed. They were both childhood playmates when they were young. At that time, there were so many complicated etiquettes, but Liya became his concubine. Now that both of us have grown up, it is impossible to go back to the age where we could talk to each other and vent our worries.
Although the gentle look in Liya's eyes before leaving made Augusta feel happy, there were some things that he could no longer tell Liya, such as whether the prince he was now could really ascend to the throne in the future.
As the prince of the strongest empire in the eastern part of the continent, he had even eclipsed his father and became the uncrowned king. But one day he discovered that in this chess game called the world, he was just an insignificant chess piece and a real chess player. There is someone else, and this kind of loss and pain is really unbearable.
Why would the prince of the most powerful country in the eastern part of the continent think like this!
Augusta couldn't help but laugh at himself. All of this was probably due to the shocking news brought back by his confidant, the 17th-level mage Leonas. (~^~)
