Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 296
"Your Excellency, when are we going to leave?"

In Emlyn's office, Adele looked at the big mirror twice, and the shiny lieutenant medal on her shoulder shone golden under the gas lamp in the office, adding a bit of heroism to her appearance .

After becoming the Witch of Pleasure, it was the first time for her to look at herself so formally. The black-haired witch in the mirror was wearing a long black cloak that covered most of her graceful figure. She stood there like a straight poplar tree, with a pair of white eyes The legs protrude from under the cloak, the appearance is elegant and generous, and the gaze is full of emotion.

Unexpectedly, I look so good-looking now... Such a thought involuntarily popped up in Adele's mind.

If the face of the witch in Sequence 7 is still a little flawed, then in the stage of Sequence 6 "Witch of Pleasure", the witch has almost reached the most beautiful without the addition of mystic meaning.

Although the witch's appearance will be greatly improved when she is promoted to demigod and even Sequence 3 later, but the beauty at that time has already begun to incorporate some mysticism, and it is not a complete beauty.

Of course, Emlyn didn't notice Adele's thoughts. After entering his room, [-]% of his attention was already on the dolls in the room.

Hearing Adele's question, Emlyn didn't come back to his senses for a moment. He didn't react until Adele turned around in front of the mirror, cleared his throat, and replied: "Your Operations are not under the jurisdiction of the military department, in fact, the naval base currently does not have the energy to command the fleet to counterattack or defend, so you mainly rely on Tracy's experience to act."

Tracy is not here, she has been taken to her room by someone, and the navy is guarding it there.After all, even if the award ceremony is held, it will be a long time before she is fully accepted. Of course, the greatest possibility is that she will never be accepted.

And Wendy, who was busy learning how to install the navy's field weapons at the port at this time, naturally didn't participate in this conversation.

"I see." Adele nodded, "It will be three o'clock in the afternoon in a quarter of an hour, so I won't go back to the boat."

What she meant was that it was almost time for the Tarot Society.

Emlyn nodded, picked up the bell on the table and shook it, and soon an attendant ran in, bowed to Emlyn and said, "Your Excellency, what are your orders?"

"Don't allow anyone to come in for the next hour." Emlyn ordered, and the other party nodded and agreed with familiarity.

The Earl of this blood clan has the habit of being alone for an hour every Monday at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, during which time no matter who comes, he has to refuse.Although this can be regarded as something to talk about, compared to his peculiar hobby, this peculiarity is not worth mentioning.The attendant agreed and went out to guard the gate without thinking too much.

Adele found a comfortable position on the sofa and sat down, preparing to sleep for a while.During this period of time, she was really too tired. Since she was promoted to Sequence 6, she hadn't had a good night's sleep for almost five days, so she could only take a short nap.

Emlyn watched Adele fall asleep on the sofa, and didn't say much. She scanned it with a demigod-level perception ability to confirm that her astral body was in an abnormally stable state, and she was indeed asleep, so He adjusted his collar a little, and walked towards Adele bit by bit, stepping silently.

I saw Mr. Moon approaching Adele little by little, walked past her, and finally stopped in front of his own cabinet. Then he opened the cabinet and took out various clothes from the special grid below. , began to dress up the doll.

His movements are very serious, and his expression is obsessed, as if he is holding a precious jade in his hand, for fear that his hand will break the doll if it gets too heavy.

It wasn't until the time was almost up that he reluctantly put down the doll, then closed the cabinet door, walked to Adele's side and pushed her shoulder, Adele almost fell off the sofa in a deep sleep, but luckily She used her flexibility in time to let her upper body slump softly onto the armrest of the sofa, so that her center of gravity did not lose balance.

"Are you awake? There are still 3 minutes left."

Emlyn said in a neither salty nor bland tone, which inexplicably made Adele feel a sense of frustration.

Being so rude to a lady, I really hope that the lifespan of the blood race can last until the day you find a girlfriend... Adele muttered in her heart, but she quickly completed the ceremony, and then the two of them turned into astral bodies The crimson light rose straight up, and came to the stone chair corresponding to the crimson star.

The two came a little later this time, and the rest of the people had already gathered. Seeing Adele appearing at the meeting, many people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good afternoon, Mister Fool."

Still led by Audrey, everyone stood up together and saluted Mister Fool's seat.

Miss "Judgment"'s aura seemed to be a little more sluggish... With her keen perception of vitality, Adele vaguely noticed the abnormal state of the other party.

Was it injured while being besieged... Adele thought with some worry.

Since the Tarot Society became a semi-official organization, the real-world connection between members of the Tarot Society has become relatively close.At least, the relationship between Adele, Audrey, and Miss "Judgment" is pretty good. Even Mr. "Sun", who only met once, has a high evaluation of Adele.

Therefore, even though she had learned about Miss Judgment from Mister Moon a long time ago, now that she saw the other party's state with her own eyes, Adele was still a little worried.

"Since the last Tarot meeting, a lot of things have happened this week. Let's listen to what's going on with Ms. Judgment first."

It was still Miss "Justice" who made the summary before the meeting, and at the same time comforted Adele, and gave priority to dealing with the situation with Miss "Judgment".

Even if you don't say it, I don't think it's unbalanced... Adele thinks it's a little funny, but somehow she doesn't think it's that simple.

The pressure on Miss "Justice" has also increased... Adele suddenly had such a thought in her heart.Originally, the Tarot Society was led by Mister Fool. After He fell into a deep sleep, Miss Justice seemed to be very active in taking on the important task, so that now she even lost sight of the other?

You know, Miss Justice's words and deeds have problems, this kind of thing has never happened in the Tarot Club before, at least Adele has never seen it!
Thinking of this, Adele inevitably felt a little emotional, but before she could feel emotional, Miss "Judgment" was invited to tell her experience.

"Last week, I originally fled to the west of Intis according to everyone's arrangement. The journey was very smooth and I didn't encounter demigods to intercept me. The ghost of the 'Iron Knight' sent by the 'Queen of Mysteries' has been helping me track down On the other side, he didn't find anything unusual."

"Judgment" Xio's voice was weak, and the crimson star that symbolized her was a little dim.While she was talking, she was sorting out her thoughts, as if she couldn't maintain her mental state otherwise.

"However, when I was about to arrive at the harbor and my spirit was at its most relaxed, the two hunters and demigods who were following me directly launched an attack."

The petite blond demigod recalled the scene at that time, and there was a little tremor in his voice. "The other party seems to have sealed items bestowed by the angels of the hunter path. I didn't find them at all."

"The opponent's attack hit me hard at the first time, killing the demigod ghost that the Queen of Mysteries used. Even after the Queen of Mystery appeared, they were not left behind. They were killed by his spell after summoning the angels. .In that case, even if it was as strong as the Queen of Mysteries, it still couldn't retain the extraordinary characteristics of the ghost of the iron-blooded knight."

"Judgment" continued to narrate, and everyone present was shocked by the decision of the Jagged Cross, and no one interrupted for a while.

These demigods of the hunter path are really ruthless in doing things... "Star" Leonard couldn't help simulating the situation at that time in his mind, imagining whether he could escape by himself if he didn't rely on the old man in his body, and got his own performance Absolutely no better conclusion than a trial.

The other party was really good at finding the timing of the assassination. When "Judgment" was really under siege, these guys didn't put pressure on her; until Xio had already stepped on the long bridge leading to the Dawn , the two demigods suddenly moved to her side to launch a surprise attack.

His patience, tenacity, and precise control of the situation are not comparable to those demigods of the Rose School of thought that Leonard has seen before.

The demigods of the official organization are all superior when fighting in their own fields. This is also the foundation of the major churches and the kingdom's military. There is no room for sloppy in this regard, even if it is the same level, the evil organization Even the best of the best, it is also difficult to compete with the official Extraordinary.

Miss "Judgment" broke into the other party's best field, and she was able to save her life, which was already the result of the "Queen of Mysteries" doing her best.

"What do you think about this?"

The judge finally finished talking about his experience, took a breath, and asked the crowd.

The members of the Tarot Society looked at each other, and then Leonard raised his hand.

"As for the other party's purpose, yesterday, the messenger of Mister 'World' came to my residence and told me something, which may be related to the purpose of the Jagged Cross."

He looked around the Tarot Society and found that everyone's attention had been concentrated, so he said in satisfaction:

"He said that the 'Jagged Cross' is currently using various means to collect middle-order and above Extraordinary characteristics of the hunter path in every corner of the Northern Continent. I don't know what it will be used for. For this reason, they spared no effort to buy bounty hunters with a lot of money. Even in the face of high-sequence targets, senior members of the Jagged Cross would go out in person."

As his thoughts flickered, illusory white papers appeared in front of everyone, with some data written on them, recording in detail the number and rank of the Hunter Path Extraordinary who had been killed recently.

"In less than a week, twelve mid-sequence hunters were killed in the Northern Continent?"

Adele's pupils shrank, which reminded her of Venata, and she couldn't help interjecting worriedly: "Do you have any detailed information about these people?"

——She wanted to make sure that Venata was inside.

"Your companion wasn't in there, at least when I left three days ago."

Argel, who had only recently left the Jianhai area, added, "However, Miss 'Justice''s avatar is over there, you can ask her to help you report safety, after all, you can't return to the Northern Continent for the time being."

"After the meeting is over, I will notify you."

Audrey nodded slightly, and Adele finally felt relieved.

"—Back to the question just now. Could it be that Miss 'Judgment' is not their target, but what they actually want to seize is the 'Iron-Blooded Knight' feature from Queen Mystic's hands?"

"The Sun" Derrick frowned. "But, is it really necessary to go to war like this?"

Everyone was silent for a while.Indeed, if it is just to acquire the characteristics of the corresponding path, then there are ways, and all the major churches are doing it, or the church is the largest dealer of the extraordinary characteristics of the same sequence or adjacent paths.

But it is indeed rare to see such a ruthless and relentless approach like the Jagged Cross.At least the major churches in history have never done this. Even a highly centralized church like the Church of Death would not be so brutal, because it is not only time-consuming, laborious and expensive, but also meaningless.

Extraordinary characteristics are the smallest unit of extraordinary power, indivisible, unless it is broken with the ability of the sun priest, it is even more impossible to use several low-sequence extraordinary characteristics to spell out high-sequence extraordinary characteristics. reason.

Hoarding a large amount of mid-sequence Extraordinary characteristics is a thankless task for an organization—after all, preservation alone is a big problem.

"Moreover, it also involves the 0-01 of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom..."

"Judgment" Xio recalled the information he had inquired before, and added as much as he could.

"Level 0 Sealed Artifact..."

Everyone immediately turned their attention to Alger Wilson, the "Hanged Man" who once served in the Church of the Storm, and Leonard Mitchell, the "Star" who is still a senior deacon of the Church of the Evernight Goddess.If there is anyone here who may know the information of the 0-level sealed item, I am afraid that there are only these two senior or former senior leaders of the church.

If it was in the past, maybe the "magician" lady who had a relationship with the "Angel Family" would be added, but now... thinking of this, Audrey's eyes are a little dark, and her complexion is not very good-looking.

"When I was in the church, I kept suppressing my promotion speed, so I didn't officially promote to Sequence Four until the war. Before I had time to consolidate my position in the church, I left the Church of Storms and went to the Sea God Church. Therefore, my understanding is also true. limited."

Alger said frankly that the matter between him and the Church of Storms was no longer a secret. People liked to talk about the connection between the Pope of the Church of Sea God and the Church of Storms, as well as his early pirate history.

So everyone turned their eyes to the "star", but Audrey keenly noticed that the other party's emotions seemed to become agitated because of this, showing a sad blue.

Afterwards, the members of the Tarot Club heard the tired voice of "Xingxing".

"Unfortunately, I don't know much about level 0 sealed items."
