Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 124 "Squirming Hunger"

"Actually, you really don't have to wait for me."

Finally, the Fool looked away from the diary in his hand, scanned the long bronze table, and looked at the four people who were waiting for him without saying a word.

"It's our honor." The Hanged Man replied respectfully.

Then, the weekly routine communication time officially started.

"Mr. Hanged Man, I have already understood what you asked me to inquire about. The prime minister and the staff convinced the king that within a year, the Kingdom of Loen will not continue to wage war on the east coast of Balam to take revenge on the Feysac Empire. "

It was still Miss Justice who spoke first.

"Thank you for your answer. This makes me, and some people, feel at ease." The Hanged Man nodded slightly, and replied, "According to what was agreed last time, what kind of reward do you need?"

"The main ingredients of 'Mind Reader', or reliable clues, can wait until Mr. Sun gives me the formula."

Justice said without hesitation, it seems that the promotion sequence is still her most important thing.

Then she shifted her gaze to Angel.

"Miss Queen, the method you proposed to select officials through public examinations to avoid the impact of political party changes on administrative efficiency has also been approved by the king. I have received news that this proposal will soon be passed by the upper and lower houses, early next year. will be officially implemented.”

"This is you, the influence that our Tarot Society has achieved on the kingdom."

She added with some pride.

No, this is all due to your influence. At first I thought it was some kind of college summer homework assignment... And what is the composition of your family, Miss Justice?How can even the king and the prime minister know what they are doing?
Angel sneered, and when she engaged in rhetorical politics, she never imagined that it would actually have an impact on reality.

However, this sense of accomplishment of affecting the system reform of the Loen Kingdom through language and advanced knowledge still surrounded her. It is no wonder that Miss Justice spoke with pride. Should be more excited.

"It seems that the king and his staff still have some brains, so they won't degenerate into a group of curly-haired baboons."

The Hanged Man mocked mercilessly.

Shocked by the ruthless evaluation of the Hanged Man, Zhengyi quickly digested the excitement in his heart and continued to ask:

"By the way, Mr. Hanged Man, and everyone, I recently joined a circle of extraordinary people. They trade information, materials, and potion formulas with each other. There are many participants. The organizer of the circle is a man called 'Mr. A' Extraordinary, this sounds like a code name, does anyone know his real identity?"

Mr. A... This is very similar to Mr. C's name. Could it be that he is also a member of the "Aurora Society"?

Angel recalled the information that Dunn had told him about the "Aurora Order" envoy, and seeing that the Hanged Man didn't respond, he thought about it and answered:
"The Mr. A you mentioned is likely to be one of the 22 envoys of the 'Aurora Society'. They all call themselves 'Mr. A', 'Mr. Z' and other letter code names. 7."

"If Mr. A, the organizer of this Extraordinary circle, is really Mr. A, the envoy of the 'Aurora Society', then I suggest that you should keep less contact with him, and don't provoke him. In the case of the 'Aurora Society', I had a relationship with the Mr. Hanged Man has already told you."

Angel once again emphasized the cruelty and lawlessness of the "Aurora Order".

"Thank you for your reminder, Miss Queen, I will... I will pay attention to avoid contact with him."

Justice replied with some hesitation, then paused as if remembering something, and then spoke again.

"What do I need to pay for this answer?"

I still have 900 pounds in my unregistered account in the bank. I don’t need the money for the time being, and I’m too embarrassed to charge for this news... By the way, I already need to prepare the main ingredients for the potion of Sequence 7 "Witch" in advance...

"I need some extraordinary materials recently. If you can get the blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish, a whole blood, I hope to be able to buy it from you."

The main ingredients of the "witch" potion are "the whole blood of the black abyss demon fish" and "the egg of the agate peacock". She only asked for the purchase of the former, because she was afraid that others would guess the purpose of the potion, or speculate about the potion's origin. formula.

"Understood, I will pay attention to it, and if it goes well, the next Tarot meeting will be able to help you solve the material problem."

Justice replied without hesitation, as if he never thought about the possibility that he could not find the materials.

Another transaction was successfully concluded, and the long bronze table in the gray mist fell into a brief silence.

"I have received a piece of information." The Hanged Man looked around and saw that everyone had successfully attracted his attention, so he continued in a flat tone, "The great pirate Qilingus, known as 'Vice Admiral Hurricane' The one who sneaked into Backlund secretly."

"The 'Vice Admiral Hurricane', one of the seven pirate generals?" Miss Justice exclaimed, "I heard that he is cruel and has nothing to kill. What is this pirate doing in Backlund?"

Miss Justice, you are too easy to be calculated by the Hanged Man... It seems that the "spectator" potion can only give you observation power, but not other experience.

Angel secretly smiled and watched the Hanged Man successfully aroused Justice's curiosity, and successfully exchanged Justice's promise to help him find "Vice Admiral Hurricane" Qilingus by obtaining the main ingredient of the potion later.

"But remember, although he is only the 'Wind Blessed One' of Sequence 6, he is quite cruel and cunning, and he also possesses a powerful magical item. You just need to find his whereabouts, and don't try to deal with him in vain."

The Hanged Man patiently added that he didn't know whether he was worried about the safety of Justice himself, or that Justice died tragically at the hands of the pirate before he could deliver the message.

"Mystical item? It sounds like this item is stronger than himself. What's so special about it?"

This is important information for the search for "Vice Admiral Hurricane", so the Hanged Man did not hide it and directly informed justice.

"The real name of this magical item is unknown, but Qilingos's men and enemies call it 'squirming hunger', because it needs to devour the flesh and soul of a living person every other day, otherwise it will be hungry. will take his own master instead."

It sounds much more difficult to serve than my "thirsty blood"... But this may be a weakness...

"It should be possible to use this negative effect to find him."

Angel suggested.

"It may be possible in a small city, but Backlund has a population of more than 500 million, and hundreds of homeless people disappear and die in dark corners every day. Let alone eating one every other day, even if you have to eat ten a day, I'm afraid it will be impossible in the short term." There is no way to find Qilingus."

The Hanged Man had expected this question, and directly rejected Angel's suggestion.

"And the more difficult the negative effect of the magical item is to deal with, the more powerful the effect will be. This "squirming hunger" makes Qilingus, the "wind favored" who can only manipulate water, wind and weather, almost omnipotent , he can change into different appearances, he can strengthen himself through singing, and he can enter other people's dreams..."

It sounds like a combination of abilities from many different paths. Could it be that "Squirming Hunger" and "Magic Pocket Watch" can provide abilities from other paths for Qilingus to use?

Angel listened to the introduction of the Hanged Man, and thought of his own magical item formed by the extraordinary characteristics of a "magician".

"shepherd?"

Before the Hanged Man could finish speaking, Mr. "Sun", who had been silently watching the exchange between the three, exclaimed.

Together with the Hanged Man who closed his mouth, the three of them turned their gazes to the sun.

This made Sun, who had already regretted blurting out his words, panic even more. His head, which was taller than the Hanged Man, lowered, and he continued after a long time:

"The abilities listed by Mr. The Hanged Man are very similar to the 'Shepherd' sequence. He can devour other people's souls and drive them, and the extraordinary ability of the soul can also be used by the 'Shepherd', just like herding lambs."

"The most important thing is that the 'shepherd' can shepherd more than one soul, and it can be easily replaced."

This is much more terrifying than the "Magic Pocket Watch". As long as Qilingus grazes a "Magician" through "Squirming Hunger", he can have his extraordinary ability. If you add other sequences, such as "Nightmare", "Witch "...

Imagining the scene where Qilingus was holding a frost spear, surrounded by black flames, and a "flame flash" came behind the enemy to launch a surprise attack, Angel couldn't help shivering.
