Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1046 Another Choice
With Angel's current ability to be "invisible", even if Archbishop Anthony Stevenson came to the prayer hall, he would not be discovered without the help of the Goddess, not to mention Leonard and Sherman, who are not high-sequence Beyonders.

So after she disappeared, she walked up behind the two men, almost leaning on the bench where they were sitting, and "eavesdropped" on their conversation.

Sherman had obviously not been here long before Angel. She took off her hood, letting her long, smooth brown hair fall on her shoulders and chest like flowing water. She moved a little further on the bench, closer to Leonard, and asked in a low voice:

"What happened? Why are you calling me out in such a hurry..."

Leonard was still dressed in the same windbreaker and shirt. Angel noticed that his knees were covered in dust and the hem of his shirt was loose from his belt. This was not a casual image he deliberately created, but the result of facing Amon's true self in the afternoon and almost losing control.

Not noticing that someone was watching him from two meters away, Leonard also lowered his voice and answered:

"Today, one of my enemies came to my door..."

He briefly told Sherman what happened in the afternoon using the excuse of "revenge". Of course, the intensity was reduced by several orders of magnitude, from a fight between Sequence 1s and an attack and defense with the intervention of gods to a fight between mid-sequence Beyonders.

"...Anyway, I'm worried that he will use our relationship to find you as revenge...The East District is no longer safe because of the war and food shortage. I hope you can move to the North District. We can rent a house behind Saint Samuel Church, where we can be protected by the goddess and the night watchmen..."

Leonard concluded with a bitter look on his face, as if he was racking his brains for an excuse.

“But I am also a Mid-Sequence Beyonder. With the magic mirror sending out spiritual warnings, it is not so easy for me to be ambushed…”

Sherman retorted, tilting her head, her eyes suddenly widening.

"We're renting a house together? What about your previous residence?"

"Destroyed in battle..."

Leonard looked embarrassed.

Only after he learned that Amon had acquired Pallez's Sequence 1 characteristics and successfully escaped from Mr. Fool and the Lord of Storms did he dare to return to his residence to take a look.

The sight of the entire house reduced to dust made him feel as if he had witnessed the old man's death again.

Angel, who was eavesdropping on the conversation behind the two, couldn't help but laugh, diluting some of her worries about Arrodes's position and her fear that Amon was about to become a god.

She had already learned from Klein that Leonard's residence at 7 Pinster Street was blown to pieces by a lightning strike from the enraged Storm Lord, but seeing the person involved in such pain, her heart was truly satisfied.

Humph, who told you to secretly take my Sherman away... No, this way he would have a reason to let Sherman share a house with him near the church for safety reasons. Wouldn't that be another bargain for him?
Angel, who was in invisible state, opened his mouth slightly, watching the topic of the two people gradually extend to renting a townhouse or an apartment suite, or simply buying a house during the war when real estate prices fell. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a moment, she lifted her invisibility and used the "hypocrisy" ring to transform into "Miss Irene" with black hair, a round face and freckles. She walked around the bench and passed in front of Sherman and Leonard, successfully changing their expressions from surprise to astonishment and then to panic, and the discussion came to an abrupt end.

Sherman, who "accidentally met" her boss, realized that the conversation just now might have been heard by the other party, and her cheeks turned red. Leonard had the illusion that he was caught by the girl's parents. He stood straight and did not look around until Angel walked past him. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately felt that his performance was a bit exaggerated.

"She's obviously younger than me, but why do I feel like I'm meeting an elder..."

He muttered, and heard Pales's sneer in his ear.

----

Coming to the corner of the prayer hall again, sitting on an empty bench, Angel recovered from his entertainment mentality of threatening Sherman and Leonard. His expression became serious. He clasped his hands under his chin, bowed his head and chanted the name of the goddess, and then prayed:
"...The Church of Knowledge passed on to me the clue of the Level 01 Sealed Artifact No. '0', the 'Blood Flag of Salinger'. I guess this is likely the 'uniqueness' of the 'Hunter' path...Since it involves the fallen God of Death, I would like to learn some information about the Sealed Artifact from his descendant, Mr. Azik Eggers..."

After thinking for a while, she added:
"…If such a 'visit' would harm that gentleman or delay his awakening, I will find another way to obtain the information…"

Angel believed that as a deity who had always been paying attention to the path of the "God of Death" and had contacted Mr. Azik to help him solve the worries of the "God of Death" resurrection, the Goddess of Night must know whether this matter would cause harm to Azik.

Sure enough, as soon as she stopped praying, a deep black sky appeared before her eyes, dotted with stars, but without the iconic crimson moon.

At the same time, a piece of information that did not exist before appeared in her mind. It was the specific location of an ancient castle, the method of entering, and the current situation of Azik Eggers.

Most importantly, the information also includes how to enter Azik's dream and ask him questions in person.

"Praise the goddess!"

Angel drew a crimson moon on his chest, thanked the goddess sincerely, and then walked past the dazed Leonard and Sherman again and left the church. The location of the castle did not surprise her, but in order to talk to Mr. Azik without disturbing his recovery process, she had to enter his shallow dream and talk to him in a reasonable identity to get the corresponding information. Once the "Archon of Death" became alert, it would either provoke a subconscious counterattack or wake him up directly, which would undoubtedly interrupt his deep sleep, making the scars deep in his soul unable to be treated, or even worsening his condition.

In the worst case scenario, the one who wakes up might not be the Azik Eggers she is familiar with, but the descendant of Salinger from the Fourth Epoch, the extremely cold-blooded "Archon of Death" with blood on his hands!
Therefore, Angel needs to find a "audience" or "sleepless" demigod who is familiar with dreams and will not easily wake up Azik, to assist her in entering a shallow dream.

As for the deep dream, the information provided by the goddess clearly stated that there was the power of the god of death remaining there, as well as the spiritual imprint of Azik as the "Archon of Death" in the Fourth Epoch. Even if Angel could resist that kind of pollution, the saint she invited would inevitably be in danger.

“All the ‘Insomniacs’ I know, that is, the demigods of the ‘Darkness’ path, except Archbishop Anthony who cannot leave, have been recalled to the Holy Temple to fight against the invasion of the Feysac Empire and the Church of the God of War. It seems that I can only think of a way on the ‘Audience’ path... Fortunately, I still have an audience I know who has just been promoted to a demigod...”

Angel muttered, diving directly into the mirror world and floating towards the night-shrouded Queens.

Audrey Hall's bedroom at Lord Hall House in Queens.

Looking at the darkening night outside the window, Audrey, wearing loose pajamas, hummed a song that was popular last summer. She threw her long golden hair that had just dried after the bath behind her head, and took out the latest publication "The Great Pirate Angelica Series: The Mysterious Queen" from under her pillow, preparing to relax before going to bed.

After becoming a demigod, the audience's attention and memory are enough for her to remember every word in a novel after flipping through it for a few minutes, but she still maintains the reading habits of an ordinary person, and regards this process as a means to adjust her mood and reduce the risk of losing control.

As soon as she opened the illustration on the title page, her eyes were attracted by the big pirate with long light blond hair and purple eyes. Audrey noticed that the light and shadow in the room had changed slightly, and she looked at the mirror on the dressing table under the spiritual reminder.

A figure appeared in the mirror at some point, and it was almost exactly the same as the "Angelica" in the illustration of the book she was holding.

Is it Miss Queen? What is she doing here so late?
Several possibilities instantly popped up in Audrey's mind. She came to the mirror with great anticipation. Looking at Angel, who pretended to be serious with only his upper body visible in the mirror, she reached out her hand curiously and touched the person in the mirror.

As soon as Audrey touched the cold mirror, her eyes blurred and she found herself in a dark space. There was a hazy window beside her. "Outside the window" was the bedroom she was in a second ago. Further away, gray passages spread in different directions like crisscrossing spider silk.

Audrey, who had already had a "mirror journey" experience, knew clearly that this was the "mirror world" that seemed to be limited in area but actually corresponded one-to-one with the real world.

The person who had dragged her here was standing next to the mirror. The seriousness he had deliberately pretended to have disappeared from his face, and the smile on his face made Audrey stunned.

After Angel became a Sequence 2 angel, it was the first time that Audrey saw the witch's face in reality without being blocked by the gray fog. She could clearly feel that her charm had increased. Even if she did not actively display this power, it was enough to make a saint lose his mind and become obsessed with it.

Fortunately, the "audience" was very good at adjusting their minds in this regard. Audrey quickly came to her senses and asked with a smile:

"Miss Christine, what brings you to see me so late at night?"

“Personally, just call me Angel,” Angel went straight to the point without much greeting. “I need your help to enter the dream of a Sequence 2 angel. This may be dangerous for you who have just been promoted. You can decide for yourself whether you are willing to do it…”

She did not hide the danger of the matter and gave the choice to Audrey.

But based on her understanding of Miss Justice, the adventurous spirit deep in her heart has not been gradually buried by her deeper understanding of the world of occultism.

Sure enough, Audrey nodded with shining eyes:
"Are you going now?"

As if she was worried that Angel might misunderstand, she added:
"I just think this is a good opportunity to digest the potion and gain experience. I believe that Miss Clea... Angel will not put me in danger... Finally, we can also seek the blessing of Mr. Fool!"

Well, that's true, but I didn't expect that what inspired Audrey's adventurous spirit was her trust in me... Angel was a little embarrassed. He opened his arms and hugged Audrey, ready to drag her into the mirror passage.

"Wait, I'm still in my pajamas..."

The subtle sounds of struggle and protest were transmitted through the mirror into the empty bedroom.

----

Half an hour later, Audrey changed into a light dress and a thick cloak and left the mirror world. She appeared in front of an ancient castle that had obviously been abandoned for many years, with its outer walls and towers almost completely collapsed.

Behind her, Angel's figure gradually emerged. She looked up at the castle illuminated by the moonlight, feeling secretly moved.

This is the place where Mr. Azik chose to rest, an abandoned castle on the outskirts of the small town of Ramde, northwest of Tingen City. And this town is exactly the fiefdom of the first Baron Ramde, the identity of Azik Eggers during his first "reincarnation".
