Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1036 Clues on Both Sides

Seeing the letter in one of the heads of the headless messenger Renette Tinicole fall to the ground, Angel was about to take out the gold coin to pay, but he saw the four heads shook their heads in unison, and then spoke one by one:

“That…” “The woman on the boat…” “Already…” “Paid…”

The woman on the boat...Anne?
Angel was stunned for a moment, then he realized that after several rounds of sending letters, Renette actually dared to secretly give the "Balancer" a nickname.

I wonder what my nickname is in His mouth... She muttered, picked up the letter and glanced at it, and found that it was written by Bernadette, not Anne who was staying in the "City of Dreams" Patis.

"...I have been tracking the Great Mother believers and Nast Solomon in Intis recently. I almost caught them several times, but without the help of prophecy and divination, I was always a step behind, leaving behind only innocent people who were polluted and ruined villages...

"...I suspect that there are some believers among them who have the ability to tell fortunes, or some extraordinary people who can see the future in the river of fate and respond in advance. During several failed captures, I learned from a local administrator who didn't have time to escape or committed suicide that there is a new secret organization that is cooperating with Nast and his group, the 'School of Truth'...

"...They believe in a pale white mist that has the ability to make both parties sign a contract and abide by the agreement to achieve their goals. I suspect this is related to the 'Arbitrator' path, but there is no true god on that path, and the characteristics of the three copies of Sequence 1 have not been lost..."

"...But the administrator mentioned the appearance of the leader of the 'School of Truth'. After investigation, it is very likely that he is a descendant of the 'Tamara' family. This is also consistent with the extraordinary power of the 'Arbitrator' path...

"I will continue my investigation in Intis and report the progress to you regularly through Anne."

After quickly reading Bernadette's "Investigation Report" and picking out the key points, Angel fell into deep thought.

She knew before that because of the involvement of the Outer Goddess "Fallen Mother Goddess", the divination and prophecy methods of the trackers were blocked, and the tracking of the followers of "Great Mother" would be difficult. But she did not expect that a month later, in the territories of the Church of the Eternal Sun and the Church of Steam, despite the efforts of Bernadette's "Elemental Dawn", they still could not find Nestor Solomon.

It would have been fine if the pirate king had simply slipped back to the sea and hid, but from Bernadette's narration, Angel could see that he and other believers had been secretly preaching in different locations, deceiving or misleading local residents to become believers of the "Great Mother" and join their sacrifices.

And now there is another "School of Truth"...

Angel still remembered when he first discovered Nast's trace in the village of Belon and destroyed the altar surrounded by deformed babies, in addition to the blood-red breath belonging to the "Fallen Mother Goddess", there was also a pale white smoke that left in a rage.

Is this the being that the Truth School believes in?

Is he a mysterious "arbitrator" angel, or an evil god like the "true creator" or the "original witch", or... the image of an outer god inside the earth, just like the "original moon"?
In addition to the pale white mist, what also concerned her was the fact that the descendants of Tamara's family were also involved in Nestor's plan.

According to the information obtained from Dorian Grey Abraham and Alysia Tamara, this angel family that existed in the Fourth Epoch has split into many different descendants. Some insist on taking the path of "Arbitrator", or "Judgment", and Alysia is obviously from this faction; some turn to the path of "Apprentice", and have close ties with the Witch Sect and the "Spiritual Knowledge Society".

So, will the faction that Yalishia belongs to join the "School of Truth" and possess the power of "Arbitrator"?
The image of the lady with strange clothes and old-fashioned face appeared in her mind again. Angel frowned and was about to write a letter to question her, but suddenly she found that Renette was still floating in the air, as if waiting for her. She quickly picked up paper and pen and wrote a reply to Anne and Bernadette.

"Leave it to the woman on the boat."

She said while holding back a laugh, handing the letter and a gold coin to the other party.

The content of the letter was very simple. In addition to replying to Bernadette and asking her to be careful of the contamination of the power of the "Great Mother" when tracking Nast, it also instructed Anne to be careful about whether the Amon clone beside her had any connection with the original body.

Although Amon's clone, who goes by the alias Geldruf, claims that an accident during parasitism caused him to possess the memories and personalities of both parties, Angel is still a little worried, especially now that Klein has arrived at the "God-Forsaken Land" but has never encountered Amon.

From the days that Klein had been wandering in the God-Forsaken Land, apart from discovering a few ruins that had been abandoned for at least a hundred years and preliminarily determining the location of the Silver City, he had not encountered any living people at all, not even a living Amon!

Not only Klein, but even Angel had a guess: Could it be that Amon, who claimed that his real body was in the God-forsaken Land, had already left that dark and desolate continent and returned to the prosperous North and South Continents?

If the real body appears, whether Amon's clone working in the "Dream City" will remain loyal, Angel and Annie are not sure.

Anyway, let Annie keep a close eye on him. Amon's real body should not try to attack the city protected by the "Hand of Order". This will not benefit him at all... Angel thought about it, and then wrote a letter, summoned the messenger belonging to Alicia Tamara with a spell, and asked to meet with the representative of the Tamara family.

After finishing all this, she called the maid and asked the chef of the Iris Winery to prepare a simple afternoon tea to satisfy her appetite. After being promoted to a "disaster" witch, she no longer needed to eat in the traditional sense. This was just to maintain her previous living habits and use food to maintain her self-perceived "humanity", rather than being dominated by the desires of destruction and killing that repeatedly emerged in her heart after becoming an angel.

Angel had briefly discussed this with Anne, who was also an angel. Due to the special nature of the "Balancer", the latter did not need too much to maintain her own anchor, and she had lost most of her memories before becoming a ghost ship. She only remembered that her name was "Adele Trunsoest". Her entire life experience was spent in the form of a ghost ship. So, similar to many natural mythical creatures, the residual mental imprint within the extraordinary characteristics had very little effect on her.

Trunsoest... Could she really be the descendant of the Night Emperor? Originally, I thought Anne became the governor of the Dream City by chance. Now it seems that there may be the aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, and there may also be the influence of fate...

Enjoying the baked cookies and warm milk for afternoon tea, Angel's thoughts returned from Anne to himself.

After being attacked by the Witch Cult the moment she left the "God-Forsaken Land", she originally thought that she would face more attacks in succession, so she was always prepared for battle. However, she did not expect that after the "Blue Witch" escaped, the Witch Cult seemed to have given up and there was no movement.

Could it be that they were just testing me, rather than trying to exhaust me with the continuous attacks and eventually kill me... But the actions of the "Blue Witch" also represent the purpose of the Witch Cult. They must be trying to get rid of me, the outlier among witches, for the "Original Witch" Chike...

But "White Saint" Katarina represents another faction. She had been trying to make overtures to me before, and a few days ago she directly revealed intelligence inside the sect, although it was a few minutes late... If I win them over and attack witches like "Gray" and "Blue", can I completely split the witch sect and make the "Original Witch" lose its anchor and have no time to care about me?

Angel's mind kept flashing through thoughts, but they all came down to one biggest problem:
Just like the "Blue Witch" has to use the seal to attack Angel's stand, Angel has no way to completely kill the mirror people of the "Immortality" and "Disaster" witches, which means that he cannot prevent their resurrection. Even if he finds their traces and solves these witches in battle, it will be in vain to kill them.

For this problem, Angel's man in the mirror gave a solution: jump to the adjacent path and be promoted to "Conqueror". The "weakness detection" possessed by this sequence, combined with the attack on the main body, is enough to kill the witch's substitute for resurrection, the fortune teller's isolated main body controlled by multiple secret puppets, or the thief's endless clones.

Or, if he obtained the "Conqueror" characteristic of Trier in the Fourth Epoch, he might be able to achieve a similar effect through the preliminary application of extraordinary characteristics.

This conclusion made Angel even more worried, because the "Original Witch" Chick might have obtained the "Conqueror" characteristic that originally belonged to the Augustus family.

Did He intend to use this to advance to the "Old One", or had He anticipated this and was preparing to use it to kill Angel's mirror man hiding in the mirror image of the "City of Disaster"?

----

A flash of lightning streaked across the dark sky, illuminating the barren land beside Klein and his army of secret puppets.

He drank the Black Bear Coke in his hand in one gulp, burped, threw the empty glass bottle away, and immediately exchanged positions with the secret doll on the other side of the team.

This was not him throwing garbage everywhere. In a few minutes, this empty bottle and the Coke he drank would turn into nothingness and return to the historical fragments to which they originally belonged.

But at least during this time, the sugar and carbonation could give him a false sense of happiness and satisfaction.

Looking up at the sky where the lightning was gradually stopping, Klein knew that another "night" was about to come.

Previously, from the narration of "Sun" Derrick, he knew that the lightning in the God-Forsaken Land had cycles of varying frequencies. Each cycle was roughly equivalent to a day in the outside world. Most of the time, the lightning frequency was dense, but there were also several hours when it completely subsided.

This period of time is called "night". Once you move away from the light source, you will be completely swallowed by the darkness.

It's time to take a break... Go take a look above the gray fog, do some divination, correct the direction, then take "disinfection" measures and change a batch of secret dolls to avoid being tracked by certain entities... He muttered silently, preparing to find a dry riverbed or a leeward place on the hillside as a resting place.

At this moment, the last flash of lightning before the darkness streaked across the sky, illuminating a city wall on the horizon and the densely packed buildings behind the wall.

In it, there stands a pair of twin stone towers, one with a spire and the other with a dome.

That was the Silver City that Klein had been searching for for a long time!
