Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 35 Mr. Queen (plus more)
Empress... The corner of Altaïr's mouth twitched.Although he really doesn't care much about these code names. After all, it is an organization that doesn't even know the details. It is really useless to care about this, but this code name reminds him of the promotion he is about to face.

Assassins are killing people... Altaïr wanted to sigh, but finally gave up.The other party seems to have inspected himself through Miss Audrey, the so-called "justice" for a long time, so the strength and information of the two parties are completely unequal... Although judging from the number of seats, the members on this long table except for a few It is possible that other than the Mister Fool sitting at the top, the status is almost equal, but Altaïr does not believe in this relationship.

Giving a Sequence 8 and a group of guys above Sequence 4 equal status, who would dare to believe this?Even if Miss Audrey didn't say it clearly, Altaïr knew very well in his heart that even if he really entered this mysterious space and had a parallel code name, he was still doing chores for the big boss in essence, just because of some things Their status is too high to be convenient to do, and they need such a convenient and easy-to-use chess piece as themselves to deal with.

Although I have officially joined this organization now, in order to prevent relevant information from being leaked, they—maybe they—will give myself more attention and protection, which is better than the previous state where I could be completely abandoned if something happened some, but it is still possible for them to give up.

Chess pieces are meant to be placed on the chessboard!
Because of the relatively casual attitude of these gentlemen and ladies, we should not forget that they are big figures who can decide the life and death of a baron with real power in just a few words!Altaïr reminded himself once again in his heart.As an assassin, he may be bold enough to act, but at other times his attitude is extremely cautious.

Altaïr glanced at the other tarot cards that were slowly disappearing, and quickly deduced that the remaining members were "World", "Moon", "Star", "Sun", "Magician", "Inverted people" and "hermits".

Mysterious organization... Altaïr commented secretly in his heart.The Church of Evernight tried to track down the organization that believed in "The Fool" in the East District, and he was not a Beyonder at that time.Unexpectedly, today I became a member of this secret organization...

"Cough cough."

The woman opposite interrupted Altaïr's thoughts with a soft cough.

"I heard from Ms. Justice that you have connected with a contact from the Witch Sect?"

Altaïr nodded quickly.Although he has made up his mind to maintain a certain distance from these guys, if the other party likes the current communication mode, he can only cooperate.

"Well, that's just right. After you get news about the 'craftsman' that Miss 'Justice' wants you to track down, your next task is to investigate the situation of the Witch Sect as much as possible, especially,"

Speaking of this, Miss "Judgment" paused, "The whereabouts of the 'Original Witch'."

Another true god... Altaïr was already a little numb.What kind of secret organization did I join, and why are they planning things at the level of the true god?

"Don't be so nervous. With your current level, you still don't have access to information about the 'Original Witch'."

Miss "Judgment" noticed Altaïr's nervousness, and couldn't help but smiled softly.

"So, we will provide you with some help so that you can quickly accumulate meritorious deeds and grow to the point where you can understand these things as soon as possible."

Miss Judgment snapped her fingers.

"Before that, you have to raise the sequence as soon as possible. At least you can't officially join their sect until you become the 'witch' of Sequence 7."

Well, now I can't even think about being promoted... Altaïr didn't know what expression to use other than a wry smile.

"If you find any results in your investigation, you can directly recite the honorable name of Mister Fool, recite what you want to express in Hermes or other languages ​​with extraordinary effects, and add the members you want to notify , the other party can actually receive the message. In addition, the delivery of items can also be done through the sacrifice-giving ceremony, praying to Mister Fool and directly transferring it to the other party."

Miss Judgment rested her chin on one hand, watching Altaïr through the fog.

"That's all I have to ask you for now... Besides, you can't disclose information about the 'Tarot Society' to any other organization or person. I don't think I need to ask you, do you?"

"If you have nothing else to do now, please leave. The time here is the same as the outside world. Don't let the lady who lives with you find out the abnormality."

"Good. Good night then, Ms. Judgment."

Altaïr was relieved, quickly restrained his spirituality, and returned directly to the real world.

"What a cautious guy..." Xio stared at the place where Altaïr's figure disappeared, above the seat, the crimson star was no longer dim, and the mysterious symbol symbolizing the empress lit up on the back of the chair.

This guy is smarter than I thought.He knew that his strength did not match ours, so he decisively lowered himself, even though we had no intention of forcing him to do anything by virtue of his strength and status... However, he did not voluntarily enter the investigation of the Witch Sect.

Xio couldn't help covering her face. She found that what she and Audrey were doing was undisputed coercion from the perspective of normal people.

This guy is very powerful... Let his purpose be consistent with ours from the beginning, so that the arrangements we set up on the premise of his disobedience will not be triggered, and we will not suffer serious losses.And if he is too obedient and too positive, we will feel guilty instead, and this will give him some benefits invisibly... If we can't resist, we will adapt?You really deserve to be an outstanding 'assassin'...

Xio couldn't help but have a strong interest in this new member of the Tarot Society.She secretly made up her mind that when she came back from Intis, she must find a chance to meet this newcomer.

Even though he couldn't see clearly through the gray fog, his figure was indeed good... Xio thought about Altaïr's slender legs, then glanced at his calfskin boots which were about an inch above the ground, and suddenly became decadent.But then she seemed to remember something interesting, and laughed softly above the empty gray mist.

"Good night then, Empress... sir?"

……

Returning to reality, Altaïr was silent for a while, and decided to simply write down the recent things and sort them out.Since there were so many changes this week, he wanted to use a similar method to organize his thoughts.

However, when he tried to take a note, he was a little annoyed to find that his pen was missing.

At this moment, his attention shifted to the pendulum on his wrist.

"Since it's something in that scripture, maybe it can play a role?"

Altaïr hesitated for a moment, but put down the chain of the pendulum, ready to do a simple pendulum divination.This kind of divination belongs to a simplified divination ritual, and it does not need to be eliminated in turn by confirming questioning. You only need to ask "Where is the thing I am looking for" seven times in ancient Hermes, and at the same time outline the item in your mind? The shape of the item, if the divination is successful, the pendulum will swing back and forth in that direction.

Altaïr's previous attempts have almost all failed. The inspiration of the Sequence 9 "Assassin" is average, not the type that is particularly proficient in divination.Later, he simply gave up similar attempts.

Altaïr recited it silently seven times with the mentality of trying it out, and then opened his eyes.

The citrine pendant stayed in place quietly, motionless.

"Tsk, failed again..."

Altaïr smacked his lips, put away the pendulum and got up to look around.But at this moment, he tripped over a potted plant on the ground. Fortunately, his body coordination was very strong, and he maintained his balance all at once.At the same time, there was a soft "click" sound from under him, and a black round-bellied pen fell out of his pocket.

Altaïr froze for a moment, and turned his gaze to the pendulum in his hand.The silver chain lay quietly in the palm of his hand, surrounding the warm citrine pendant.

After thinking for a while, Altaïr carefully placed the pendulum on the table, took out a sharp dagger from the drawer, and slowly pressed down on the silver chain.

If it is an ordinary silver chain, it is estimated that at least one knife mark will be left.However, the pendulum chain was unscathed, and Altaïr felt as if he were cutting a column of finely tempered steel.

This thing seems to have a lot of background... Altaïr fell into deep thought.
