Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1002 Hunting
Among the Beyonders who know more about high-sequence knowledge, "demigod" is a general term for high-sequence Beyonders below the level of True God, but generally speaking, Sequence 2 is called an angel, and only Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 are referred to by this term.

Of course, a more appropriate title is "saint".

And what Leonard sensed at the party hosted by Mr. K was a Saint who was very likely at Sequence 4.

This was not because of his keen perception, nor because the other party had revealed his true identity, but because of the work of Pallez Zoroaster who was parasitic in his body.

So when Sherman asked him with wide eyes and curiosity how he knew, Leonard could only use his official Beyonder perception to get away with it.

"If other high-sequence Beyonders hadn't tried to attack Mr. K, then the demigod hiding in the gathering was most likely one of the five saints of the Aurora Society... They are at least Sequence 4, and are generally not directly responsible for the specific affairs of a city, but are there to support their divine messengers at any time according to the mission. If they appear in Backlund, it is very likely that the Aurora Society will have a major operation in this city..."

"Sequence 4... Saint..." Sherman murmured, his eyes a little confused. "Did Mr. K anticipate our actions and arrange the ambush in advance?"

"Not necessarily. Maybe it's just a coincidence. Maybe this saint has been hiding in the dark for a long time, but you just didn't find him before... Of course, I don't think he came for me, otherwise we would have no chance to meet here. That saint can easily deal with an entire 'Red Gloves' team, unless we also have a demigod to compete with him."

Leonard continued, and his expression turned serious:

"Anyway, this operation is canceled. I'm going to report this to the church. I have no control over whether they continue to monitor or a saint from the church takes over... As for you, you should continue to attend the gathering in the near future to avoid being discovered for your abnormal behavior and being suspected."

Sherman nodded and watched Leonard leave in a hurry. He then put on his cloak and returned to his residence in the East District. He set up the spiritual wall, took out his magic mirror, and lowered his head to recite the somewhat unfamiliar and difficult-to-pronounce name:

"The scarlet and hidden shadow, the queen who roams the five seas, the essence of the disaster in the mirror... I have something to report to you..."

----

At three o'clock on Monday afternoon, the Tarot Club members once again appeared in the palace above the gray fog and held their weekly regular meeting in front of Mr. Fool.

Since there haven't been many transactions recently, everyone, with Mr. Fool's permission, went straight into the free exchange session.

Emlyn the Moon said excitedly that he had been released from the "dungeon" of the Church of Evernight. The reason was, of course, that Intis's formal invasion had made Loen vulnerable to attack from all sides, and they did not want to push the blood race, a race with angels, to the opposite side. Therefore, not only Emlyn, but also some of his clansmen who were also arrested were released one after another.

After many days of only being able to taste the animal blood brought by the Night Watchers, as soon as he walked out of Chanis Gate, he could not wait to go to the nearest hospital and buy some spiritually rich human blood for testing through not-so-legal means to satisfy his needs as a vampire.

But after seeing the miserable conditions of many disabled soldiers and civilians sent back from the front in the hospital, Emlyn couldn't help but donate a huge sum of 100 pounds to a blonde noble girl who was collecting donations. He felt quite painful when talking about it now.

For some reason, when she heard this, Miss "Queen" tilted her head and looked at Miss "Justice" beside her, as if she had thought of something.

A good psychological hint to empty the wallets of the vampires... Klein the Fool saw everyone's actions clearly in the gray fog. He laughed secretly and directed the World Gehrman to speak in a low voice:

"I am issuing a commission. You can choose whether to join based on your own strength, but I hope this will help you to reach a higher level of strength."

What he meant was that the rewards were great, but it also meant that the difficulty was great, so one had to do it within one's capabilities... Cattleya, the "Hermit" who had just been promoted to "Mystic", was somewhat tempted by what she heard, and considering that she was the only demigod besides the strongest pair of "World" and "Queen", she took the initiative to speak:

"What can we do for you?"

Gehrman chuckled and glanced at the other equally curious participants:
"It's simple. Hunt down the 'Secret Saint' of the Aurora Society, Butis."

Aurora Club again?
This thought occurred to the other people who were listening to the commission.

They were no longer surprised by the repeated targeting of the Aurora Society by the followers of Mr. World and even Mr. Fool, whom he actually represented. However, the “saints” of this secret organization were all genuine saints, all of whom were above Sequence 4.

What's more, the Aurora Society has the support of the Rose of Redemption and believes in the "True Creator". It is a powerful organization with the protection of the True God. It is not something that the Tarot Society's middle-sequence extraordinary people and the "Hermit" a demigod can deal with.

"Excuse me, why don't you do it yourself, or ask Miss Queen to help?"

"Justice" Audrey asked curiously, and quickly glanced at the other members out of the corner of her eye. She found that the "Queen" looked indifferent, the "Magician" was a little flustered, and the others were similar to her, with expressions and actions revealing curiosity.

It seems that Miss Queen has known about this for a long time, and Fors should also be involved... Is this related to the Abraham family?
While she was thinking, the "world" had already answered:

"I've been dealing with an angel lately, so it's hard for me to spare any time to deal with Butis. As for Miss Queen, if she takes action directly, it might cause a strong reaction from the Aurora Society, such as... the arrival of a certain Angel King."

The King of Angels… Everyone’s expressions were stern, and those well-known names flashed through their minds, guessing which one of them was under the seat of the “True Creator”. In addition, Mr. “World” could actually “deal” with a certain angel?

Although it sounds like he is at a disadvantage and can only avoid fighting, he is an angel... Could it be that after the "Queen", the "World" has also been promoted to Sequence 2?

In fact, it wasn’t an angel that was tracking me, but a Sequence 1 archangel... Feeling the shocked and confused gazes of the crowd, Klein muttered in his mind, allowing the "world" to give a brief feedback in time:

"I have been promoted to Sequence 3."

As expected... "The Hanged Man", "Justice", "The Hermit" and others all expressed their feelings in their hearts, but they were not so surprised.

After a moment, Cattleya spoke again:

"As far as I know, 'Secret Saint' Butis is a saint of the apprentice path and possesses a powerful seal. If you and Miss Queen can't take action, then we don't have much hope if we rely on ourselves... Even if we can severely injure Butis, he can teleport away at any time and resist the tracking of divination.

"Moreover, even if Miss Queen doesn't join, there is a high possibility that Butis will seek help from the True Creator in times of crisis."

In response to her reasonable question, "The World" nodded and explained in detail:
"You can try to seek help from the Mysterious Queen in this matter. This battle is expected to take place in Backlund. The True Creator will not and cannot come directly. If only one of His angels comes, Miss Queen will be responsible for dealing with Him.

"In addition, everything will be witnessed by Mr. Fool to prevent the worst from happening."

Seeking the Queen's help... Is he hinting that I can prepare those powerful spells based on fairy tales in advance? And if this hunt takes place in Backlund, there is really no need to worry about the arrival of the evil god. After all, Backlund is the headquarters of Night and Storm, and the Queen can stand behind us, which is enough to make people feel at ease... Cattleya quickly calculated the feasibility of the action in her mind, and finally looked up at Mr. Fool at the head of the long table.

With this person as a "safety net", everyone can rely on him.

Furthermore, the words of the “World” indicate that the one who really wants to deal with the “Secret Saint” is Mr. “Fool”.

"What's the reward for this commission?"

After considering for a moment, Cattleya turned to another important point.

"The right to choose the spoils, and enough knowledge to digest the current potion in a month."

The answer "the world" made Cattleya's heart beat fast.

She originally estimated that it would take at least a year to perform and digest Sequence 4, and that was with the help of the Queen!
"I will prepare first and try my best, but there is no guarantee of success."

Finally, she made up her mind and took the risk to attack another saint of the same level as her.

Sure enough, everything was the same as Klein expected. Then, it was my turn next... Angel, who was watching the "Hermit" finally succumb to the temptation and accept the commission, laughed secretly, looked at Audrey beside him, and asked in a probing tone:
"Ms. Justice, how is your Dream Walker being digested? Is there hope for another promotion in the near future?"

Me? Why do you ask that... Audrey was startled, then she thought of the "commission" just now, and immediately understood, nodded and replied:

"Recently, I have been entering other people's dreams at night. If I keep acting, I can digest it completely in half a month if I am fast, or two months if I am slow."

"If you can complete the role-playing before the operation against the 'Secret Saint', I can sell you the 'Manipulator' Beyonder characteristic along with the complete formula, so that you can also have the opportunity to participate in this operation."

Recipe included!

Audrey was delighted. She had originally ordered the Sequence 4 potion formula and the Beyonder properties as the main ingredient from Hvin Rambis from the Queen. However, because she had recently been obsessed with charity, she had invested almost all of her liquid funds in the student aid fund and no longer had much hope of being promoted to Sequence 4 in the short term.

But if Miss Queen is willing to make such a concession, she can simply ask her father or brother for an advance of part of next year's pocket money, buy the ingredients and recipes, and be promoted to demigod before the New Year arrives!
The price is just to work harder in the role and cooperate with Ms. "Hermit" to hunt down the "Secret Saint".

Anyway, the people in the Aurora Society are all crazy and destructive, so there is no psychological pressure to deal with them... She thought happily and nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Watching the two female members get a piece of the cake from the Secret Saint, Alger suddenly realized that although it looked like the World was issuing the commission and the Queen was agreeing, in fact...

...but it is an overall leap in the strength of the Tarot Club!
What about me... His mind suddenly shuddered and he realized that he had to say something.
