Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 43 Interlude
Looking at the pendulum spinning rapidly in his hand, Altaïr fell into deep thought.My own divination level has been improved under the strengthening of the pendulum, but the consumption of spirituality will not be reduced by the proficiency of divination.If you continue to divination on everything in detail, the possibility of touching a high-level existence is not low, and it will also be a greater burden on spirituality.

"It seems that there must be a choice..."

Altaïr pondered for a while, but decided to do one last divination.He took a deep breath and let the pendulum hang down naturally.Then he slowly and silently recited the divination sentence seven times in his heart:

"I should follow Badheir."

"I should follow Badheir."

……

After seven times, Altaïr focused his attention on the pendulum's position, and found that the pendulum was slowly but firmly turning clockwise.

This means that he should follow the leader of the Twilight People in front of him, Badhier, who is suspected to be some kind of consciousness projected by the God of War!

After the divination was over, Altaïr wrapped the pendulum around his wrist with a heavy heart.Seeing that he had finished divination, Venata hurriedly came up to ask about the result.

"what's the result?"

Venata sat down beside Altaïr.The furniture in the tent was all made according to the standards of the Twilight Giants. The edge of the bed was nearly one meter above the ground, and only the small stool Altaïr was sitting on was quite comfortable to sit on.

"Divination shows that we should continue to follow Badher, but the next thing will be very dangerous, and every step needs to be handled correctly, otherwise there is a high probability of death."

Altaïr replied without raising his head, and sniffed twice by the way. "By the way, you use too much hair conditioner. That bottle is 'Moon' brand hair conditioner produced by White Company. The peppermint smell is very strong. Don't you think it's choking?"

"I want you to care? It's not..." Venata just wanted to retort subconsciously, "It's not your money", but halfway through the sentence, she realized that she was indeed using Altaïr's stuff, so she had to change the topic.

"You know so much about these things, you don't look like a guy living in the East End at all..."

Venata looked at Altaïr carefully, "Or, you are actually a playboy who is very good at pleasing women, so you are extremely sensitive to similar things?"

"You understand again, don't you?" Altaïr gave Venata an angry look, "This is just a need for acting."

"My Sequence 8 is 'Abettor'. Playing this sequence requires frequent 'instigating' others to make them make decisions that are not in line with their own intentions. This is a Sequence that is rich in fraudsters, and many people use the Sequence ability It’s going to ruin the family.”

"So you just dress yourself up to trick others into investing in your fictional project? Or to seduce a married noble lady?"

Venata looks at Altaïr with a look that looks at the trash of society.

"What's on your mind." Altaïr stretched out his palm and tapped lightly on the opponent's head. "It's indeed related to those noble ladies, but it's not as bad as you think."

"I worked as a helper in the 'Madame Petive's Beauty Salon' for a period of time. It is a beauty salon frequented by noble ladies and wives. At present, the situation of the old nobles in Loen is not very good. After the war, nobles could no longer afford the previous ostentation, including professional makeup artists and costume maids, but they didn’t want to lose face in front of their noble colleagues, so they would come to such places for beauty treatment before participating in necessary social activities.”

"For those newly promoted nobles, this kind of salon is also a good place to establish a relationship network. Hehe, Emperor Roselle once said that the social field of nobles is like a battlefield, but it's not just gentlemen who participate in the battle. Ladies and gentlemen have their own wars."

"And I am the arms dealer in this war without gunpowder."

Altaïr spread his hands: "If I don't understand the complex classification of cosmetics, how can I get those noble ladies who want to climb high to lie on the beauty chair? If I don't understand the designs that make people look more sexy, then How to get their husbands to pay the bill obediently?"

"...In a sense, you are really a villain."

Venata was stunned by the unexpected answer, opened her mouth, and finally only came out with this sentence.

……

The light intensity in the Land of Twilight never changes, so the residents here judge the time by relying on the ash trees growing in the forest.The Twilight People took off a certain thickness of ash tree branches, scratched them with a knife every two centimeters, and then ignited them, suppressing the flames and leaving only sparks similar to incense.

Altaïr roughly compared it with his pocket watch, and the burning time of each trace was about 15 minutes.After the ash branches in the room burned for about four ticks, a burly duskman came to Altaïr's tent and said something in the giant language, and Venata also replied in the giant language.

"He said it's time to eat, let's fill our stomachs first, and after 32 minutes, it's time to conquer the demon wolf."

Venata translated to Altaïr, and then asked the giant curiously:

"I haven't seen any beasts from the Twilight Kingdom around here. What do you usually eat? Can you hunt?"

"We people of the dusk are not good at growing crops or hunting, we are only good at fighting."

The other party said proudly, "The food we usually eat is a product called mana obtained from the prayer ceremony created by the mistress. As long as you add requirements when praying, you can taste various flavors of mana."

"So amazing?" Venata showed a moderately surprised expression. "That mistress of yours sounds amazing, able to create a ritual with such an astonishing effect."

"Of course, the mistress is the mother of Patriarch Badheil, and the earth elements under her command will always be the best ally of the Twilight People. As long as they step on the earth and are in the eternal twilight, the glorious Twilight People An existence that may be defeated."

There was a look of reverence on the other party's face. "The prestige of the people of the dusk can spread throughout the entire kingdom of God, and the mistress is indispensable. When Lord Bardhier defeats the demon wolf, the mistress may turn the place shrouded in darkness into a place full of mana. place."

Venata and Altaïr looked at each other, and it was Venata who asked:
"I don't know what your mistress is called?"

"Didn't Lord Badher tell you?"

The People of Twilight said enthusiastically: "She is the wife of His Majesty the Old Giant King. When you see her, you can call her Your Majesty Omebella."
