Demon Sage

After waiting for three days as agreed, Donald deliberately limited his activities to the street where the hotel is located in order to avoid accidents during this time.

The only times I’ve been to other neighborhoods is to buy a new carriage or to take a look outside the workshop, don’t bother, just make sure the craftsmen are still working.

“We’ll leave the city as soon as we get the space ring.”

Still sitting in front of the carriage with a horse as usual, Donald hasn’t slept much the last two nights Well, just a shallow meditation to restore the state.

“I haven’t been out to check the situation for the past three days, and I don’t know what’s going on in the city.”

The gathering of intelligence was stopped due to restricted movement, and now Corta No one knows what happened in the city, and this feeling of being out of control of the surrounding environment is not good.

“We’re not here to investigate the case, there’s no need to make it so clear, we won’t stay here for long anyway, here it is… This is what we were like last time we came here Is it?”

carriage turned the corner, Donald had just withdrawn his eyes from the chimney of a nearby machine shop, and the next second he saw the craftsman who had been commissioned by them to make the space ring. The windows and doors of the workshop were closed.

“Tsk, that’s a bad feeling…”

Putting the carriage aside, Donald walked to the lamppost at the main entrance first, not in a hurry. Looking at the reconnaissance eye, only glanced to confirm that the inscription still existed and was not damaged by external forces, and then approached the workshop.

“The windows on the first and second floors are all closed, the door… can’t be opened, like it’s locked from the inside, it’s nine o’clock in the morning, there’s no reason to be here at this time Go to sleep, what should I do, break the door?”

Anthony stood at the door, raised his hand and pressed the door panel and pushed it inside, without any shake, his left hand immediately touched the short blade handle on his waist.

“No hurry, maybe it’s a temporary outing to purchase materials or something urgent. It’s not appropriate to force it, Lilo, feel it, is there anyone in the workshop.”

While opening Spirit Vision to check the situation in the house, Donald asked Lilo to participate in the search.

“Donald, second floor, dead.”

Lilo’s answer completely shattered Donald’s fluke.

“I really like to cause trouble for people!”

gloomy face, pointing the finger at the door lock, releasing the mental shock directly, an invisible air wave rushes directly into the lock hole, The metal door frame vibrated in an instant, the ash on the wall fell, Donald kicked the door, Anthony and Lilo took the initiative to stand in front of the team and rushed to the second floor.

Donald and Stephanie and Julia walked behind, closing the door again.

In the bedroom on the second floor, Donald saw the craftsman lying on the bed with a soothing expression on his face, and he was covered with a bed full of blood, apparently killed by someone in his sleep.

Donald raised his palm, and in an instant, all the drawers or cabinets in the room were floating in the middle of the house price.

spirit strength swept through everything, then began to spread throughout the house, working with Spirit Vision to check for dark spaces in the room.

“The space ring is gone.”

Donald really doesn’t care if the person dies or not. As long as the space ring is still there, everything is easy to say. When the opened wooden box floated in front of him, his cheeks seemed to be covered with frost.

Looking at the corpse on the bed, spirit strength lifted the quilt and made it float above the corpse.

“The fatal wound was on the chest, the penetrating wound, looking at his facial expression, it should be a sneak attack while he was sleeping, the bedroom door was locked when we came in, and there was no sign of being pryed, This means that the craftsmen locked the locks before sleep, so the sneak attack can only be seen from outside the window…Donald, come and see.”

Anthony quickly concluded that he was the same as Donald based on the traces on the scene. He came to the conclusion that he approached the window, there was only one window in this bedroom, Anthony opened it with a slight push, remembering how the craftsman who locked the doors on the first and second floors could just ignore the one facing him. bed window.

Donald leaned over and saw that there were signs of corrosion on the latch of the window.

“The location here corresponds to the back door. You go to check the reconnaissance eye on the lamppost at the back door. The body of the deceased is not completely stiff, and the charcoal in the bedroom fireplace still has a little fire star. The craftsman should be yesterday. Killed late at night until early this morning.”

At this time, the importance of the reconnaissance eye placed by Donald three days ago, it can record all the conditions in an area before the inscription effect disappears.

“Stephanie, you ride to the Craft and Blacksmithing Church to find Jacqueline, be fast, tell Anthony when you go out, and check the scout eyes in the other three directions of the house, See if there are any missing clues, Lilo, try to get his soul back, Julia, follow me through the other rooms in the house.”

Donald doesn’t here Acquaintances, let alone the interpersonal relationship of this craftsman, when the time comes, even if he finds some people from the reconnaissance eye, he can’t tell who is who and where these people are now, so he needs someone to do this work.

Leave the disposal of the corpse to Lilo, Donald took Julia out of the bedroom, and immediately went to the workbench on the first floor, which he had seen the last time he came.

Different from the emptiness when he first came, this time, Donald saw quite a few devices on the table, including the glasses worn by the craftsman before and a whole box of There are various styles of carving knives, and in the drawer of the table, I also found a few sketches drawn with pencils, which show the appearance of a ring and the listed operation steps.

Including gemstone carving, ring body remodeling, array pattern interconnection, etc., and after these steps, all ticks are marked without exception, so it seems that the craftsman has been helping him improve the space ring recently. , and it has been successful!

The space ring that had already been built was actually taken away by the murderer who suddenly appeared, which undoubtedly made Donald even more angry.

“Donald, this drawer is locked.”

Julia squatted beside the workbench, her fingers hooked on the copper ring outside the bottom drawer and pulled out, but the drawer was Completely motionless, he tugged a couple more times before turning his head and saying.

It’s still the old way, the spirit strength impact forcibly destroys the drawer, but after opening it, there are only a few books stacked together.

“The Beauty of Craftsmanship”, “The Art of Sculpture”, “The Ugly of Industrialization”…

Three books of different thicknesses, Donald pinched the three books on the I raised my hand and looked at the name, but I didn’t see anything special in it, but since it was specially locked by the craftsman, it was not an ordinary thing.

Opening them one by one, Donald soon found the clue, and among the pages of the three books were some folded papers.

He took out a piece of paper and opened it. There was a strange black mark on it. At first glance, it looked like a skewed five-pointed star. The line of the five-pointed star itself is skewed, for example, its top angle is skewed to the right, and there is a small red mark in the center of the five-pointed star, surrounded by a ring, which makes The whole composition looks a bit like a raised eye…

Xixisuoso~Xixixuoso~

When Donald’s attention is focused on this In an instant, a strange whisper suddenly sounded in his ear.
