Sharin had learned that a terrifying plan was being hatched at the hideout where she had been.
We returned the documents we had picked up to their original places and left the underground passage without being noticed.
“Ah, you two, I was worried because you took so long to return,” Philiana said, rushing over to us as she had been waiting outside.
“So, how did it go? Did you find the captured person?”
“No, it seems to be something much more serious.”
Sharin began to explain to Philiana, who tilted her head with a worried expression.
“The documents we found underground contained instructions for a ritual to summon a demon, in other words, a method to open the Gate to Hell.”
“What?! What did you say?”
Philiana exclaimed, covering her mouth with both hands in surprise. Sharin continued.
“There may be various ways to open the Gate to Hell, but they intend to do it using human blood as the price.”
“H-human blood?! This is terrible, I have to inform someone immediately.”
“I also think it’s absurd, but it seems to be true.”
I spoke to Philiana, who looked like she was about to rush off, urging her to calm down.
The paper that described the ritual method also had notes on what appeared to be previous experimental results. The content indicated that the ritual had already been performed several times and had failed. The conclusion reached was that the cause was the amount of blood.
This means there is a possibility that the ritual will be completed soon.
“Let’s convey this immediately. If we don’t hurry, more sacrifices will be made.”
We returned to the Lord and informed him about what we had seen.
