Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 218 "Queen" and "Justice"

Audrey Hall, the count's daughter that Servilia once said, asked me to find a way to be friends with her?
I didn't expect such a beautiful young lady. I thought she was a mid-sequence or even a high-sequence witch path Extraordinary...

Angel did not completely deny this possibility until he came into close contact with her. After all, if the "Witch" path does not use extraordinary abilities, it would be difficult to distinguish it from ordinary people except for appearance.

"Miss Hall, I am Eileen Watson, niece of Lady Servilia Langdon. Nice to meet you."

She gave her false name and identity.

"Just call me Audrey, that's what all my friends call me," Audrey smiled slightly, folded her hands on her knees, and laid her legs together on her side, a posture that perfectly complied with social etiquette, "It's too much here. It’s noisy and can easily attract attention. Please be sure to attend another salon hosted by me and Viscount Gray Lint later. Someone will guide you through the side door.”

"I don't think you can refuse this invitation, right?"

After saying that, she stood up with her skirt in hand and walked gracefully to the center of the venue, her high-heeled dancing shoes making a subtle sound as she stepped on the carpet.

Only then did Angel realize that many guests in the salon were already looking at this small corner. He realized that Audrey, as the focus of the party, was probably worried that she would attract too much unnecessary attention, so she quickly Left after the conversation.

Servilia also looked over, with a smile and confusion in her eyes, probably guessing why she could talk to Audrey so easily.

It's a pity, I don't know why...

Angel thought that it might be Hugh Dilcha who introduced him to Audrey and made her interested in him before the salon was held.

Another possibility is that Xio's commission to find Lanrevus was issued by Audrey or some nobles behind her, so the person who provided clues to Lanrevus's location also came into their sight.

But there is currently no evidence, just speculation.

After a few minutes, Angel noticed that Audrey and Viscount Glaint had left the salon one after another. Although this made the hall less focused on two eyes, the other guests relaxed more and communicated more enthusiastically. Accompanied by elegant piano music, the atmosphere gradually heated up.

She knew it was time for her to leave.

Walking to the side door, she slipped out of the hall and found a maid waiting outside the door.

The other party took her to a heavy wooden door in the side hall. After knocking on the door several times, she heard a subtle ringing of a bell for a moment. He opened the door and invited Angel in.

The sound insulation effect of the door is very good. It seems that this is the location of the "Occult Salon" that Audrey mentioned?

Entering the door and bypassing a partition, Angel found that it was a small study room. The dressed-up Audrey he saw just now had changed out of her formal dress and put on a light dress and was sitting behind the desk.

The owner here, Viscount Gralint, sat on the armchair next to him like a guest. He also took off his tuxedo and tie, wearing only a white shirt and a brown vest.

A big golden retriever dog was lying next to the desk, its round eyes staring at Angel, who had just entered the room. The latter discovered that it was the one lying next to Xio in the last salon. It turned out that its owner was Miss Audrey.

"Hello, Miss Eileen Watson, welcome to our 'small group'." The Viscount did not stand up, but just nodded as a greeting, which was in line with his status. "I heard that you are quite knowledgeable in the occult." Understand that maybe here we can share some unique knowledge and news.”

"There are not many members here. Currently, including you, there are only five." Audrey took over and continued to introduce, "Graylint and I, Miss Hugh Dilcha, I believe you and her last week I have seen them, and there is also Ms. Fors Wall. Both of them are extraordinary people, um, real extraordinary people. It’s a pity that they can’t come to the salon these days. You will get to know them in the future.”

I can't attend these days...

Is it because Miss Xio reported Lanerwus and kept a low profile that she won't appear here in the near future?Then she, the "bounty hunter", is most likely acting as the "white glove" of these two nobles.

Angel guessed, but when he saw the two people looking at him, he could only answer quickly without thinking about it carefully:

"I'm glad to join your party. I also yearn for the kind of extraordinary people who have truly extraordinary abilities. Even..."

When introducing himself, Angel wanted to pretend to be an occult enthusiast who pursues the power of potions, but suddenly he thought of his meeting with Xio. The latter already knew his identity as an extraordinary person. Based on their relationship, If Xio knows, it means Audrey and the Viscount also know.

Moreover, if they were not extraordinary, these two nobles would not have to invite themselves to join the "Occult Salon" so solemnly.

"...Even, I am an Extraordinary myself, well, the kind with the lowest rank." She changed her words and admitted.

As expected, Gray Linte had a "Sure enough" expression on his face, while Audrey looked curious, even with a hint of disbelief.

"With all due respect, what path are you to becoming an Extraordinary?"

She seemed to be afraid that this question might cause Angel to misunderstand, so she asked in an extremely calm tone.

"Soothsayer, Sequence 9 fortune teller."

Without hesitation, Angel reported that he knew another way to the potion formula, Sequence 9, not the "Assassin" way.

"Divination? Is it the kind of divination with tarot cards and crystal balls?"

Viscount Gray Lint was obviously more impatient than Audrey. Hearing Angel's lie about the potion method, he immediately asked.

"I'm better at magic mirror divination, and I can also do pendulum and tarot."

Realizing that it would be difficult to eliminate the doubts of the two nobles without showing his hands, Angel approached the desk, sat opposite Audrey, took the paper and pen, and asked the latter with his eyes what divination he needed to perform.

"Well, I want to try divination..." Audrey's jewel-like green eyes showed a hint of playfulness, "My brother will send some gifts from overseas recently, and I want to know whether they can reach Backlund smoothly. .”

She wrote the divination words "Miss Audrey's gift will reach Backlund smoothly" on the paper. She raised the citrine pendant and closed her eyes and recited it silently seven times.

Since the subject who needs divination is right in front of him, the requirements for the information required for divination are not that high, and Angel can get the result directly through the pendulum.

Viscount Gray Lint stood up from his chair and came over curiously. Audrey also stared at the pendant expectantly.

Angel opened her eyes and found that the crystal was rotating clockwise at a faster speed, even pulling her left hand holding the silver chain.

"The gifts should arrive smoothly," she interpreted the divination results, "and based on the divination results, I think they have already arrived?"

The rotation speed of the crystal was different from the usual "sure". She discovered this keenly and made some over-interpretations.

"That's absolutely correct. They arrived at Backlund yesterday. Miss Eileen, you are indeed an expert in divination."

Audrey looked surprised and replied in a lively tone.

"It's really amazing. I had always wanted to be a 'pharmacist', but after seeing Miss Irene's performance, I was even a little shaken."

Gray Linte sat back on the chair next to him and rubbed his chin in distress.

"You may never get the magic potion you want. It's different for me. My goal has always been to become an 'audience'."

"Audience? Is this also the name of a potion?" Angel took over the topic at the right time, pretending to be a novice in mysticism who didn't know about other potions.

"Yes, it allows people to gain keen observation and can see the other person's true thoughts from their expressions and actions. This is perfect for me."

The aristocratic lady's eyes were bright and she answered with longing.

"It's a pity that we have been searching for a long time and have not found any clues about the formulas of these two potions," Gray Lint interjected at the side. "This is why we invite Ms. Fors, Miss Xio, and Miss Irene to you. The reason for joining, do you know the formulas of these potions, or any clues about them?"

The Viscount looked at Angel with expectation.
