Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 159 The Wand and the Bullet

Angel was secretly speechless, surprised in his heart that the great pirate who was being watched by the Tarot Club died inexplicably at the hands of his bodyguards. It was not at all as "close to a high-sequence" as Mr. Hanged Man described.

And doesn’t he also have a magical item with the “shepherd” ability, called “Creeping Hunger”?

Turning back to the front page of the Tingen Daily, she reread the report word for word, but found nothing new.

But then I thought about it. The report said that Chillinges failed in an assassination attempt at Duke Negan’s dinner last night. It appeared on the front page of the local newspaper in Tingen, hundreds of kilometers away, early this morning. This period can be used for verification. News, the time for follow-up interviews is very limited, and it is even possible that the entire message was delivered via telegraph between the two cities.

There is bound to be the possibility of errors and omissions in such a hasty report, and a near-high-sequence Beyonder attacking the top nobles of the kingdom will inevitably attract the attention of the police and attract the intervention of official organizations such as the "Nighthawks". Once they block the news, Even these news reports may not be credible anymore.

Maybe "Vice Admiral Hurricane" did not simply die at the hands of the "Duke's bodyguard" as the newspaper said. Maybe there was an official Beyonder who took action, or even Mr. Fool's high-sequence favored one!
Angel decided to ask Mr. Hanged Man and Miss Justice during the Tarot meeting next week, especially the latter. She has lived in Backlund for a long time and is well-informed. She also hired a detective to investigate Qilingers. She should be more concerned about this matter. Got the inside story.

Thinking of this, she stopped reading useless newspapers and started chatting with Luo Shan word by word.

----

In the afternoon, Angel and Klein went to the outskirts of Tingen separately as usual, and based on the location of the "dark red chimney" houses investigated by the Jules Detective Agency, they checked the locations of the buildings predicted by Klein one by one.

Unsurprisingly, there was no gain.

Coupled with the location in the urban area, they have already explored thousands of buildings with dark red chimneys. According to this speed, perhaps in mid-September, they will be able to confirm similar buildings around Tingen, even if they are unlucky until the last one That is the goal, and you can find it when the time comes.

After stacking the building list full of crosses, Angel moved his eyes to the scenery outside the car window, adjusted the focus of his eyes, and let his sore eyes get a proper rest.

At this time, the hired carriage is driving through the Red Moon Street in the North District, and you can go back to the Blackthorn Security Company on Zotland Street after bypassing the park in the middle of the street. Construction debris on the roadside was also cleared away, giving the renovated park a brand new look.

The new park is not only half the size of the previous one, but also has a new park plaza, a spacious stage, a pavilion for the audience to stay, and even luxuriously arranged running water and tree-lined trails. In comparison, before the renovation, The park is almost like a wild lawn.

There are many workers decorating the venue next to the stage. It can be seen from the hanging banners that this is preparation for the speech delivered by Councilor Maynard, who is presiding over the construction of the park.

Angel recalled the recent intensive news reports that the leader of the new party in Tingen is about to run for mayor of Tingen. This shows that the act of attracting investment to renovate the park in the North District and giving a speech at the celebration is all a scam. A political show for election campaigns.

But in any case, being able to renovate the park is also a good thing for nearby residents.

It would be great if there was a park like this in the West District...

Angel sighed with regret. Even if it was just a political show, these congressmen would not target ordinary people in the West and South Districts. The North District and Jinwutong District, where the rich lived, were their base camps.

The hired carriage rounded the corner, and the reappearing buildings by the window blocked the setting sun and the park on the other side.

After walking into the living room, closing the door and locking it, Angel hung his windbreaker on the coat rack nearby. Without even turning on the light, he pushed open the study door, opened the secret door on the floor, and came into the smoke-filled room. basement.

It was already evening. The fire in the basement had been burning for twelve hours since she went out in the morning. In the large pot on the fire, the viscous liquid had almost dried up. A stick was about 20 centimeters long. , the short stick with a burnt surface was emitting wisps of green smoke in the pot.

After extinguishing the fire, he took out the short stick made of solid sandalwood from the pot and wiped the liquid on the surface. Angel immediately felt a faint spiritual overflow, wrapping around the hot short stick in his hand.

This is a wand she brewed using medicine containing her own blood. It is a wand unique to her as a "witch".

Using this wand that has a mystical connection with herself, the witch can not only search for objects with the wand and find targets conveniently, but she can also withstand a fatal injury on her behalf at the critical moment of the battle.

Unlike the mirror double that can only escape from where it is, even if it is injured at the moment of using the wand double, these injuries will be transferred to the wand, which is not inferior to the magician's "paper double".

But making a wand is complicated. In order to make this wand, Angel was groggy due to blood loss all day long. It would take ten and a half months before he could make the next wand.Even if it was just this one, it would be quite inconvenient to carry it. She thought about it and decided to tie the wand and dagger sheath together so as not to cause a strange bulge under the windbreaker and attract curious eyes from others.

After cleaning the remaining medicine in the cauldron that had turned into dark red, and putting away the stove, Angel cleared the table and took out the medicine he bought at the underground market of the Dragon Bar after returning from Morse Town on Tuesday. With various materials, lay out the revolver and bullets you received today, and prepare to make a new special bullet - light-shattering ray.

Unlike the Gathering Storm and Phantom Phosphorus Eruption bullets, the production difficulty and material requirements of Shattering Rays are more than one level higher, and the spiritual requirements of the makers are very high.

If she had not been promoted to a "witch" and learned in the test that her spirituality was higher than expected, she would not have been able to make the "shattering ray" even if she understood the production process and had the production materials.

After dismantling the large-caliber pistol bullets into warheads, shells and gunpowder, and preliminarily treating the shells through soaking and applying base materials, Angel picked up the engraving knife and began to engrave complex and dense spells on the first shell. .

……

"呲-"

There was a soft sound, and the tip of the knife scratched the smooth surface of the bullet case, leaving a deep scratch.

This is the last line of the spell.

Looking at the five completed shell casings on the table and more scrapped shell casings next to them, Angel moved his already sore wrists and closed his eyes to take a rest.

These cartridge cases are just for practice, and they do not consume spirituality, nor do they use any materials rich in spirituality. In this way, even if the cartridge case is accidentally carved, it will only be a waste of an ordinary pistol bullet.

From the initial series of failures to the successful engraving of three consecutive rays just now, she has the confidence to create a real "light-shattering ray".

Taking a deep breath, Angel picked up the carving knife again and used it as a ceremonial dagger to carve out the spiritual wall surrounding the production table and seats. Then she took out the "Sun Flame Talisman" given to her by Klein.

This powerful spell will be the core material for her special ammunition.

Prior to this, through divination by the magic mirror, Angel had confirmed that the power of this spell did indeed come from the "mutated holy emblem of the sun".

At this time, she would use a similar method to draw out the power sealed in the spell and make it into ammunition.

There is only one chance, and if there is any error during the production, even a moment of pause, the production will fail and this precious charm will be wasted.

She believes that if this fails, there will be no other opportunities in the short term.

After placing candles representing himself and the goddess of the night in the spiritual wall, lighting the candles with spirituality, and establishing a connection through essential oils, Angel closed his eyes and silently recited a prayer:
"The Goddess of the Night, higher than the stars and older than eternity.

"...

"Grant me the strength to complete this extraordinary object."

After the spell ended, Angel saw the candle in front of him swaying slightly, as if an invisible object was passing by, and the candlelight reflected by the carving knife in his hand seemed to dim.

"Praise the goddess."

She muttered something silently, picked up the knife, and stabbed the "Yangyan Talisman" on the table hard.
