Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 138 Letters and Couriers

"Ms. Daly?"

Angel was a little puzzled. Last night Daly also appeared at her home in this image, but at that time there was still a strange green flame in the living room, like a nightmare woven by "Nightmare".

At this time, the "Nightmare" was still outside the door, and he didn't have time to drive away!

The translucent face did not answer, but opened its lips, revealing a bright red tongue, covered with irregular fangs, with five slender fingers at the top like a human hand, holding a piece of letter paper folded in half.

Letter...is this a messenger?Daly's messenger?
Angel understood, she looked back at Dunn who was about to drive away on the street, closed the door, and then reached out to take the letter.

After the task was completed, the messenger's five fingers happily waved a few times, as if saying goodbye, and then retracted the entire tongue into the mouth, floating into the wall, and disappeared into the living room with a wave of translucent water ripples.

Well, wait for my reply?

She looked suspiciously in the direction where the messenger left, released her spirit vision, and the living room glowing with white light in her vision returned to normal colors.

Angel, who was afraid of causing a fire and did not dare to light the gas lamp, could only rely on moonlight and his own night vision ability to open the letter paper folded in half on the sofa by the oriel window, and read the letter sent by the magical psychic.

"If you can read this letter, it means that tonight's operation should have gone smoothly, and you have survived successfully. This makes me very relieved. After all, I don't have to play the 'Corpse Collector' anymore."

The first sentence made Angel frown.

What a nasty expression of concern... It really was that unforgiving Ms. Daly.

And how did she guess I'd be on the move, not stationed on standby?

With curiosity, Angel continued to read.

"I hope you can tell me the details of this operation. If the part involving privacy can be skipped, I can use this to assess Dunn's digestion of the potion and determine whether he is at risk of losing control."

Assessing potion digestion... Is this expressing concern for the captain?

Angel grinned.

"The second thing is, if you were not seriously injured during the operation, please submit a special application for early promotion with Klein as soon as possible."

"Right now, a senior deacon who is relatively easy to communicate with is staying in Backlund. The special application you submitted will be examined by him. This is an opportunity not to be missed—I assume that you have already completed the digestion of the potion at this stage. .”

"Some rumors I heard in Backlund indicate that some senior deacons will deliberately make things difficult for the Nighthawks who are seeking promotion. You are very lucky."

Seeing this, Angel folded the letter, regardless of the remaining half of the content, and closed his eyes to think.

She and Klein had originally agreed to find an opportunity to submit the application at the end of this month, and then there might be an internal inspection by the church in early September, so they apparently digested the potion in about two months, although it was different from ordinary people , but for an Extraordinary who has mastered the acting method, it is not too exaggerated.

According to Da Li, even if they apply in advance to expose their shorter digestion time, they still have to seize the opportunity to pass the examination in the hands of this "good communication" senior deacon.

Is it because of some special reason?Or is it just Daly's own opinion?
Should I and Klein wait until the end of the month or even next month according to the original plan, or submit the application as soon as possible within this week?
Angel thought for a moment, but couldn't get an answer for the time being, so he reopened the letter paper and continued to read.

"Finally, I will teach you how to summon the little cutie who just sent you a letter. This is a simple ritual magic. After summoning the courier, you hand the letter to it, and it will be delivered to me accurately. The courier's It's not as fast as the telegraph, but it's faster than the steam train, and it only takes one afternoon to go back and forth from Backlund to Tingen."

The letter concludes with preparations and incantations for ritual magic.

Compared with the ritual magic taught by the Fool to the members of the Tarot Society, this ritual of summoning the messenger is much simpler. Angel only needs to choose related herbs from the domain of death and the night, and light the candle that symbolizes himself...

Candle……

Angel pursed his lips and continued to read, repeating the mantra in his mouth to deepen his memory.

The first is the ancient Hermetic "I".

It was then replaced with "I call in my name" in Hermetic.

The third paragraph refers to the specific summoned object: "The spirit wandering in the emptiness, the creature from the upper world driven by people, the messenger that belongs exclusively to Daly Simone."

As she recited the mantra line by line, the room seemed to become as gloomy and cold as when she first came home, and the wind blowing from nowhere came through the room, making a "woo-woo" sound.

Um?Could it be that the spell has taken effect?But I haven't performed the full ritual yet...

Angel turned on her spiritual vision and found that the messenger with a translucent face came out of the wall again, slowly floated in front of her, stretched out his hand...a hand-shaped tongue, and five fingers repeatedly opened and clenched, Like asking for something.

It turns out that it has not gone away, waiting for my reply?

Angel was a little embarrassed. If he was going to read the letter after taking a bath, or even read it the next day, would this dedicated messenger wait all night?
Looking at the spirit creature who had been waiting for a letter for a long time, and sadly withdrew its tongue, Angel said "wait a moment" apologetically, went to the study to get a pen and paper, and returned to the living room to reply to the letter in front of the messenger.

"Ms. Daly, I am very happy to receive your letter. You seem to no longer hide your concern for Captain Dunn. I hope you can openly talk to him as soon as possible, otherwise I may not be able to bear the loneliness. He did it—you don’t have the chance to light the chandelier to scare me this time.”

After hitting back at Daly with a smile on her lips, she began to write in detail the preparations, process and aftermath of the battle against Ms. "Shepherd" D tonight, including Klein's divination and her doubts about Lanerus.

These are the contents of the battle records that "Red Gloves" will submit soon, and will be sent to the dioceses as a case of fighting the "Aurora Order" after the church's review. It is not classified, so she did not consider concealing it.

Then she talked about the "special application."

"... Regarding the special application, you guessed it right. Klein and I have already digested the potion. I will discuss it with him before deciding whether to submit the application immediately. Maybe choose a suitable senior deacon, why not Stay in this sequence for a while longer, so we won't be so conspicuous."

She didn't blindly trust Daly's judgment. After all, the other party could only make guesses based on the information she had obtained, and she couldn't make a decision on Klein's behalf.

Originally, the letter ended here, but Angel suddenly remembered that the main potion material for his promotion to "witch" had not yet been found. Maybe Miss Justice could find the material from her channel, but in order to conceal the formula of the potion and spread the risk, She only asked justice to find "the whole blood of the black abyss demon fish", and the other half of the material "agate peacock's eggs" could only be relied on by herself.

It's a pity that after going to the underground market of the Dragon Bar many times, Angel couldn't find this potion ingredient, not even anyone who had heard of it.

There is reason to suspect that the underground Beyonders in Tingen City have almost no access to the "Middle Sequence" potions.

Or these promotion materials are firmly controlled by the "Witch Sect". When Cole Granger was promoted to Sequence 7 before, the main ingredients for the potion were provided by Mrs. Sharon.

In any case, if you want to obtain potion materials in Tingen City, I am afraid that you can only rely on the help of people from other regions. Maybe Enmat Port, a city with loose management and high turnover of people, can buy them, but she has no acquaintances there. .

Thinking of this, Angel added a few words at the end of the letter.

"Finally, please help me find an 'Agate Peacock's Egg' in Backlund's Extraordinary Items Trading Market. The price of this extraordinary material may be between 500 and 800 pounds. If the price is right, I hope you can do it for me." Buy, or tell me the channel."

Putting down the pen, she looked back at the words at the beginning of the letter and had the urge to cross them out.

In the end, Angel gave up the idea, folded the letter, handed it to the courier who was so bored that his fingers were twisted together, and watched it swallow the letter and disappear into the corner.
