Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 150 "Sacrifice"

"We are guardians, and a group of poor people who are always fighting against danger and madness."

When he opened the door and returned to his home isolated from the noisy streets, Angel's ears still echoed with the words Dunn Smith said at the funeral.

She did not change the black dress she wore for the funeral, but slumped directly on the single sofa by the oriel window in the living room, her posture was more lazy and tired than usual.

It was already noon on Monday, and two full days had passed since "Sword of the Goddess" Creste Sesima came to Tingen to inspect the two Nighthawks.

But the scene of Old Neil lying covered in blood on the cold floor of the alchemy room, the painful look in Dunn's eyes as he looked at him, and the expressions of the members of the Tingen team either exclaiming in disbelief or clenching their teeth in silence are still deeply engraved in their minds. In her mind.

There are also Luo Shan's interrogation with tears, the deep sleep flower in front of the grave, the epitaph on the tombstone...

"If you can't save her, then go and accompany her."

This is the latest sentence in the diary found by the Nighthawks at Old Neil's house after his death.

Old Neil had no other living relatives. After his death, the team members searched his residence as usual, only to learn from the relics that he had been working hard to revive his lover, his fiancée Salist who died young.He felt that he was not strong enough when he was young, and he failed to heal his fiancée who was seriously ill through ritual magic, and in guilt and regret, he kept seeking help from various mysterious forces.

The life refining and resurrection ritual that Old Neil obtained from the "Hidden Sage" has also been proven to be a naked evil ritual. In addition to sucking the user's life and requiring him to obtain more blood for sacrifice, , and has no other effects.

No, maybe the pollution and loss of control itself are the function of the ritual.

From this point of view, it may be a good thing for the entire Tingen city that he was found to be contaminated at the Nighthawk station and lost control in advance in front of the senior deacon who had the ability to control the overall situation.

good thing...

Thinking of the moment when Dunn broke Old Neil's neck, Angel closed his eyes in pain.

------

A crimson light flashed, and Miss Empress reappeared in the mysterious gray fog space, on the high-backed chair beside the long bronze table.

Beside her and opposite, Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man sat down in the same way.

Mr. Sun...he seems to have come earlier than the others, his hands are already on the edge of the table, his body has not moved...

Angel stared blankly at the Tarot Society people, he didn't even have the strength to say hello, only his thoughts were running subconsciously, analyzing the things in front of him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool, and everyone."

"Mr. Fool, I have obtained another page of Emperor Roselle's diary."

"Mr. Sun, may I ask if you have obtained the formula for 'Mind Reader'?"

Zhengyi still greeted everyone energetically and quickly entered the topic.

The tall and burly Yang Yang slowly nodded and replied: "I have obtained the formula of 'Mind Reader', but how are we going to trade? Should I tell you directly?"

Before he finished speaking, parchment with curled edges and a snow-white quill appeared in front of him.

A quill, not a fountain pen?Is it out of the fool's little joke, or is it to match Mr. Sun's usage habits... Could it be that his location is so remote that it is difficult to obtain even common industrial products?
Seeing Taiyang holding the quill skillfully and embodying the formula on the parchment, Angel guessed.

The two quickly completed the transaction of the formula, and Justice also manifested the found Emperor Roselle's diary in the same way, handed it to Mr. Fool, and then received the information about the favored person that the fool gave her. From this transaction, the applicant will receive an additional payment of 300 pounds in cash from justice.

Angel and the Hanged Man watched the three-party transaction with cold eyes.

As the number of people in the Tarot Club gradually increases, the frequency of transactions involving only some people will also increase. The information that was disclosed simply for sharing in the past will probably become less and less.

Tarot is becoming more and more "mature".

"You can communicate freely."

After the Fool finished reading the diary, the quiet gray fog space became lively again.

"Miss Empress, please ask me to find the Extraordinary item, 'the blood of the black abyss demon fish', I have already got it, but I don't know if it is the 'all' blood, the seller said that there is no standard amount in the sense of mysticism .” Justice said to Angel with doubts.

"Indeed, unless you specify how many grams and how many milliliters are needed, in the sense of mysticism, many extraordinary materials will exhibit this strange characteristic. There must be a gap in the blood of two black abyss demon fish with different weights, but does not affect their effectiveness."

Recalling the knowledge in his mind, Angel replied.

This is also a problem that is easy to encounter when purchasing the main ingredients of potions: the seller is likely to take advantage of this uncertainty and secretly withhold some of the ingredients.

Fortunately, the blood of the Black Abyss Demonic Fish has a magical property. Once it leaves the body of the Demonic Fish, it becomes difficult to separate.

"Then there is no problem, I can trade at any time," Zhengyi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Since looking for this material is my way of thanking you for answering your questions, I am prepared to charge half of the purchase fee, which is 350 pounds. "

Half of it was 350 pounds...meaning the blood cost her a total of 700 pounds?
Angel was a little speechless, the price of the main potion material of Sequence 7 was already so expensive.

She also remembered that Daly gave her the "Agate Peacock's Egg" without hesitation on a condition that was almost free. Even without considering the premium, it saved her more than 500 pounds.

If you have to pay for the two Extraordinary materials yourself, the 1000 pounds in the bank account is really not enough...

Lamenting his poverty, Angel nodded and agreed to the transaction price.

But what happened next gave the two traders a hard time.

"How should I deliver this item to you? Should you provide me with an address and let me send it to you, or should you pick it up at the address I provided?"

Zhengyi asked in a calm tone, as if which method didn't matter to her.Also, this rich lady must have asked her servants to take care of related matters, so that she would not be in trouble...

But I’m different. I only have my own home address, and I don’t like Mr. Hanged Man who can casually say all kinds of “friends” and “acquaintances”. Once I provide the address to the other party, it is tantamount to revealing my whereabouts. location, and if I were to come to the door, I would also need to leave Tingen City, or even Ahowa County. At this time when Old Neil just had an accident, it must be extremely difficult to apply for leaving the resident...

Angel has some headaches. After the incident of Old Neil losing control, she desperately hopes to increase the sequence as soon as possible. This is not only the key to improving strength and avoiding being targeted by evil gods and hidden sects, but also to protect teammates and important people around her.

But this cannot be premised on disclosing one's own whereabouts.

While she was thinking in silence, she heard the sound of her knuckles tapping on the long bronze table.

The four members of the Tarot Society present all turned their gazes to the top of the long table, where Mister Fool had just put down the right hand that hit the table.

"Haha, it seems that you have encountered another trouble," Mr. Fool chuckled, his eyes sweeping over the two members on his left side, "Two ladies, are you willing to cooperate with me in this matter? try?"

Another try?
Angel thought of his "attempt" to pull everyone into the gray fog space, and his "attempt" to communicate through ritual magic. What will it be this time?
"What kind of attempt is it?"

Justice asked hesitantly.

"It's very simple. It won't be any more difficult than communicating with me through ritual magic."

The Fool's tone was brisk, as if what he said was just a trivial matter like eating and drinking.

This also slightly dispelled Angel's inner resistance. There were previous examples of Old Neil and the "Hidden Sage". Even though the Fool had a "good relationship" with everyone, she was still somewhat resistant to the new ritual magic at this time.

"If the attempt is successful, Miss Justice can 'sacrifice' specific items to me, and then I will 'gift' them to Miss Queen. I think this form of transaction is beneficial to both of you."

"Sacrifice" and "gift"...

She suddenly discovered that the Fool's request for such an attempt at this time was simply to help solve the biggest problem she was currently facing.

If it succeeds, Justice can sacrifice "all the blood of the Black Abyss Demonic Fish" to the Fool through a ritual, and then the Fool will give it to himself, like a transit station, so that the two Tarot Society members will not reveal any information about themselves. You can conduct physical transactions.

Let a god-like existence serve as a transit point...

She was a little frightened and a little excited.
