Dorothy thought so in her heart. Now it seems that the night demon is either an extraordinary person of "Silence" or possesses some extraordinary item of "Silence", which seals the soul with the extraordinary power of "Silence".
"Do you know the exact identity of that Night Demon?"
At this time, Misha asked Ed again, and Ed shook his head in response.
"I don't know. The true identity of the famous killer, Mr. Tivian, is also top secret in the Eight Peaks. Although our informant in the Eight Peaks is in a high position, he still cannot access that level of intelligence. So unfortunately, we don't know the truth about the killer.
"But from your description just now, this Night Demon can seal the soul in some way, so he might be on the path of Silence?"
Thinking about this, Dorothy let Ed speak slowly while Misha continued to answer.
"It's possible, but not very likely. According to many cases that Night Demon has committed in the past, his methods are very skillful, swift, covert, and deceptive. He is a truly powerful assassin... This is a characteristic that only senior extraordinary people on the path of 'Shadow' have. I have always been inclined to believe that he has some powerful extraordinary item of 'Silence', and he uses the extraordinary item to achieve the purpose of sealing the soul."
"It's on the path of 'shadow'..."
Hearing Misha's words, Ed couldn't help but murmured thoughtfully. After thinking for a moment, he continued to look at Misha and said seriously.
"According to the information provided by our insider in the Eight Peaks, it's not like there were no survivors in the center of the assassination scene that night."
"Yes, your intelligence is correct. Although Master Isabel was seriously injured, the nuns who prayed for healing in the church arrived in time, so Her Highness was lucky enough to survive. She is still in a coma and has not shown any signs of waking up."
Misha responded directly, and after listening to Misha's words, Ed changed the subject and started asking again.
"Have you carefully checked the personal belongings of the Lord? Did you find anything unusual?"
"Check Her Highness... Ha, from what you said, you are not doubting that Isabel is a Night Demon, are you? I admit that Her Highness is the only surviving demon at the scene. Almost all the damage at the scene was caused by the extraordinary power of wind. At first glance, she seems to be a big suspect, but Her Highness cannot be a Night Demon."
Listening to Ed's words, Misha replied with a chuckle, and Ed asked back solemnly.
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course I am sure. Lord Isabel is kind and gentle by nature, and has great compassion. She has never been willing to step on an ant, let alone kill anyone. In the past, when she was asked to go hunting, she would never have the heart to shoot the prey, and she always persuaded other royal families to give up hunting. In the end, no one was willing to take her on hunting activities."
Misha said this. She was a knight serving the royal family, so she knew a lot about what was going on within the royal family.
"Master Isabel's kindness is well known. You can understand it just by reading about her charity activities in the newspaper. Her kindness is innate and has been like this since she was a child. Besides, although Master has received extraordinary education from the royal family since she was a child and is also an extraordinary master, her rank is only a black-level wind magic user. Judging from Night Demon's performance, his rank is at least above the Cretaceous rank.
"In addition, the powerful killer qualities that Night Demon possesses cannot be achieved without long-term training, and His Highness has been receiving formal royal education since childhood, so it is impossible for him to receive such extremely professional killer training. Finally, we have checked His Highness's personal belongings, and there is nothing suspicious in them."
Misha said this to Ed, and her expression showed that she was certain that Lord Isabel could not be the Night Demon. Dorothy nodded thoughtfully after hearing her words.
"He has a kind heart since he was a child... He has been receiving formal royal education... He is still only a wind user... No suspicious extraordinary items were found on him... If what this knight said is true, the possibility that the master is a night demon is very low..."
Dorothy was thinking deeply, while in the church, Misha spoke to Ed again.
"We have fought the Night Demon many times. He is very cautious and cunning. It is very difficult to find out his true identity directly. So this time I want to investigate the motive of assassinating Lord and Lord of the Eight-pointed Nest. Does your informant know the motive of their action this time?"
"As for the motive... According to our informants, this operation was directly planned by at least the top-level leaders, and the people below them are all executives, so our informants don't know much about this aspect. What we know now is that this is probably related to Lord Barrett's ongoing research on the Mirror Moon Statue. On the night of the incident, a team from the Eight Points went to Barrett's research site in the southwest suburbs to completely destroy the research results."
Dorothy let Ed answer as Misha couldn't help but sigh as she listened to Ed's words.
"Huh... Is it really related to that research? We went to Lord Barrett's villa, which was used as a research site, yesterday morning. When our people arrived there, it was already burning fiercely. Everyone inside was dead. Unfortunately, we didn't find anything valuable in the wreckage. Those research materials may have been burned."
Misha said this with a sigh. After not getting more useful information about the Eight Points' motives from Ed, she seemed a little disappointed. At this moment, Ed continued to smile and spoke.
"Not all of it was burned. In order to understand the progress of Barrett's research, Bajian did not destroy all the data. Instead, he took back some of it for interpretation. Our insider in Bajian took the risk to get access to the data, copied some of it through some means, and delivered it to us intact."
"What? You have some of Lord Xu's research materials?"
Misha's eyes lit up as she listened to Ed's words, and Ed continued to respond.
"Yes, although it is not complete, I think it is enough for you, Ms. Misha, to partially understand the progress of the research on Lord Barrett. It involves in-depth research on the history and culture of the Plits. To be honest, although we have some Plits here, there are not many people who study this kind of knowledge. Instead of keeping these materials with us, it may be more useful to give them to you."
Ed said this to Misha, then he raised his eyebrows slightly and continued speaking.
"We are willing to hand over this batch of important information to Ms. Misha, as long as you can pay the corresponding compensation..."
