Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 147 Promoted to "Joker"

Returning to the second floor from the basement, Angel felt as if he was in another world.

She took out her pocket watch and looked at the time. In fact, less than half an hour had passed.

But in front of the "Goddess Sword" Crestel Sesima, who has an unclear attitude and strange abilities, it is not an exaggeration to say that his days are like years.

Fortunately, until the end of the examination, the senior deacon's attitude was very kind...

Angel wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, walked through the corridor, through the partition, and returned to the reception hall.

At this time, the heavy rain outside the window had stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the bright sunshine fell on the earth, passed through the windows facing the street, and painted a layer of golden yellow on the furniture and the ground in the hall.

There were only two people seated in the reception hall. Klein was squirming on the sofa a little restlessly. The coffee in front of him had long gone cold, but he did not take a sip. Ms. Dai Li, who was sitting opposite him, leaned lazily on the back of the sofa and took a cup of coffee. He kept flipping through a newspaper, which was in sharp contrast to the mood of the former.

Hearing the approaching footsteps, Klein turned to look at the partition and saw that it was Angel walking towards him. Only then did the worry on his face fade away. He stood up and asked:
"Passed the test?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Sesima, it is indeed what Ms. Dai Li said. I successfully passed the test and now I have taken the magic potion and become a Sequence 8 Beyonder."

Angel replied, telling Klein implicitly about Crestel's attitude and telling him not to worry.

"You took the magic potion...congratulations!"

After being stunned for a short while, Klein quickly understood the other party's meaning, and an undisguised smile appeared on his face.

"I just said, there is no need to worry about her," Dai Li's fair face peeked out from behind the newspaper, "Klein was restless just now. He was asking me and wanted to find Dunn, so he almost rushed into the basement. ”

She winked at Angel, reminding him of a move Dunne occasionally used.

"Cough—I'm worried about my teammates."

Klein turned his face aside, coughed and said.

"Okay, now it's my turn to worry about you. It's your turn to go down, 'divineer'."

After bypassing Klein and coming to the sofa, Angel sat down opposite Daly and then said to Klein.

She emphasized "Seer", and at the same time, she also looked forward to the way the other party will act after being promoted to "Joker".

Is it really possible to become a...

Klein seemed to have thought about the same problem. He left the reception hall with a strange expression and went to the alchemy room to take the test.

"How is it? Have you ever drank the 'Instigator' potion again and lost control on the spot?"

Looking at the direction in which Klein was leaving, Daly asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth, in a cheerful tone.

"I just heard from you that this senior deacon brought the 'Instigator' potion. I really thought it would end like this..."

Angel deliberately sighed and replied. She directly picked up the coffee that Klein hadn't drunk yet and drank it in one gulp. Well, it was already cold and the fat had risen...

"Why, didn't you say in your letter that I have no chance to scare you again?"

The expression on Dai Li's face at this time can be called sunny, at least more dazzling than the sun outside the window.

After enjoying her verbal victory, she took out a palm-sized black wooden box from behind her back, looked around mysteriously, and then handed it to Angel.

"what is this?"

The latter took the wooden box and tried to feel the objects in the box, but found that this plain-looking, sharp-edged box had the effect of isolating spirituality, and asked curiously.

"You asked me to find something in Backlund in your letter."

Search in Backlund...could it be "Agate Peacock's Egg"?
Thinking of what he had asked Daley to do in his reply to her, Angel felt like he was breathing a little heavier, and the box in his hand became heavier.

Under the encouraging eyes of the other party, she pressed the lock, opened the box, and looked inside.

The walls of the wooden box are much thicker than they look from the outside, leaving only a space in the middle that is less than half the length and width of the outer wall. An egg-shaped object slightly smaller than an egg is placed in it, with a crystal-clear eggshell like The polished glass has a mixed color of red, green and orange inside, like a gem whose colors have been disrupted.

After opening the lid of the box, this "jewel" seems to exude a substantial brilliance, which is so fascinating that people can't help but want to touch its smooth surface.From Cole's memory, Angel knew the styles of the two main ingredients of the "Witch" potion. Without additional confirmation, she knew that the one in front of her was the "Agate Peacock Egg".

Closing the lid of the box to isolate the spirituality of the extraordinary material, Angel looked up at Dai Li.

"Thank you, Ms. Daly. I didn't expect you to get this extraordinary material so quickly." She expressed her sincere thanks. "How much did it cost to purchase this material?"

In order to cope with the review during this period, before submitting the special report, Angel deposited all the "huge property of unknown origin" in her unregistered account at Backlund Bank. , there is no penny left.

Fortunately, the money in the bank is enough to pay for the potion material. After Daly finishes quoting the price, she can take it out and return it to the other party today.

"I bought it through a friend's channel. It didn't cost much. Let it be a gift to celebrate your successful passing of the exam."

Dai Li said with a nonchalant expression.

A gift...but this is the main material of Sequence 7 potion. Even if there is a way to buy it at a low price, it is still worth at least 500 pounds...

Angel couldn't accept such an expensive "gift" and was about to continue making inquiries when he saw Dai Li smile slyly and say:

"If you think it's too expensive to accept, then think of it as the cost of purchasing information."

"intelligence?"

"From now on, you will send me Dunn's movements via messenger every week, and you must be detailed."

Captain's move?
Angel was speechless. This was not "intelligence" at all. Dai Li probably said this just to reassure herself to accept this "gift".

Perhaps, there is still a little bit of repayment for her to break the gap between the two.

"Thank you."

Stuffing the wooden box into the inner pocket of the windbreaker, Angel was silent for a while, and thanked again.

Daly let out a "huh" and didn't speak any more. Instead, she picked up the "Intis Post" beside her, yawned, and flipped through the side news.

When Angel boiled a new pot of hot water and brewed coffee, Klein's figure reappeared in front of the two of them.

The test on him also took half an hour...but my three questions were extra. That is because after passing the test, does Klein need to actually prepare and take the potion?

Angel looked at the indifferent Klein, and felt that he was not spiritually overflowing and in an unstable state as he had just taken the potion.

Is it through meditation that the exposed spirituality has been restrained, or is it because of the help of the "acting method"?

Angel guessed, and approached the other person. When he opened his mouth to speak, he pulled out the dagger from his waist like lightning, and stabbed Klein, who looked surprised, with a short and sharp sound as the sheath and dagger rubbed against each other.

The latter raised his right hand at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people, and struck Angel's forward arm from the side. At the same time, his entire upper body leaned back to avoid the dagger that stabbed his neck.

With a "bang", Angel blocked Klein's right arm with his left hand, grasped it, and pulled it back, pulling his reclined body towards him again. The dagger in his right hand had already touched the opponent's Adam's apple.

"Better than before, but still not enough."

she commented relentlessly.

Klein regained his composure, his eyes turned down, and he was relieved when he realized that Angel had gripped the dagger back the moment he hit him, and what was touching his neck was only the handle of the dagger.

"It was just a natural reaction of the body. I still need to train more. After I fully master the body strengthened by the magic potion, I will..."

The newly promoted Sequence 8 retorted dissatisfiedly.

"Well, then it depends on your performance. Account... No, should you be called a clown now?"

Angel took back the dagger and didn't care about the other party's harsh words.

"puff--"

Daly, who hid her face behind the newspaper, let out a chuckle.
