Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 255 Gathering Materials
"A Dixie pie, extra crumble, and a sweet iced tea."

At noon on Tuesday, a hungry Angel stood in front of a mobile vendor near his home and made plans for his lunch.

She spent the whole morning wandering around the streets of the Bridge District, visiting medicine shops, flower shops and some occult shops with weird decorations, exhausting all her energy in collecting the auxiliary materials for the "Happy Witch" potion.

Black mandala flowers are easy to find. To prevent accidents, she even bought a pot of flowers and prepared them for on-site juice extraction. Pure water is also a cheap product that can be found everywhere, but the rest of the items are not so simple.

After careful searching, Angel bought a jar of Fenebaud flies in an occult store. They were all still alive, flying in the glass jar with ventilation holes until they were exhausted, and then fell to the bottom of the jar, twitching their wings.

Unfortunately, after a simple divination, Angel confirmed that two-thirds of them were flies native to Loen, or even flies born in Backlund. She took great pains to select foreign flies that met the requirements and put them into ventilated glass jars. Place them next to the study window to prolong their survival as long as possible.

As for the "real mummy ashes", Angel walked through the streets and alleys, but did not encounter any sellers of this best-selling product that is said to enhance men's certain abilities. Until near noon, outside a drug store near the East District, a sneaky man The evil merchant approached her and offered to sell precious mummy powder.

The powder was expensive. To be cautious, Angel only bought 2 grams as a target for divination. If it was genuine, she planned to come back to the businessman who promised to wait for her in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, Angel didn't go very far, avoiding the sight of passers-by, and used the magic mirror to confirm that these were just ordinary wall dust. When she returned to the place in anger, the businessman who sold the powder had already fled, leaving her Angry.

It seems that this kind of material can only be found at extraordinary gatherings, especially the fat pharmacist Darkwill at the "Eye of Wisdom" gathering. His very popular strengthening potion may be made from mummy powder. .

Chewing on the hot Dishi pie, feeling the fat aroma of the fat in his mouth and the sweet and sour taste of the chopped apples, Angel came to the subway station and took the subway to Servilia's house in the West End to receive her "mission award".

Now when she goes out, she doesn't walk when she can choose public transportation. If it's too remote, she hires a carriage to avoid being affected by the "master key" and accidentally turning into a strange alley, wasting precious time.

She even suspected that the encounter with the "devil dog" last week was the strange negative effect of the master key taking effect. This reminded Angel of Bernadette, whom she met in the museum, who told her that the key had a "dangerous curse". At first she thought it was a curse directed at the precious gold pounds in her pocket, but she also felt that such a high-ranking strong man should not be so vulgar.

It seems so now.

On the subway, she bought a copy of that day's "Backlund Morning News" and was disappointed to find that Mr. A still had no intention of holding a rally, but the news in the in-depth reporting section published reports that interested her.

"Confirmed! Kaping is suspected of multiple missing cases of underage girls. The police remind citizens to pay attention to strangers around them!"

After reading through this report, Angel discovered that Capin's kidnapping of multiple girls had been dug up by the police and the "punishers" of the Church of Storms behind it. In addition to the girls who were let go that day, at least there were More than 20 people have disappeared. They may have been sold to Backlund's filthy brothels under Capin's arrangement. They may have entered the private residences of some nobles who will not be reported at all. They may have even left Beckland. Rand, heading to cities further away.

Most of Kapin's remaining properties, identified as a human trafficker, have been confiscated, including the villa that had half of it destroyed by the bombing. His family members disappeared during the incident, and the police are collecting relevant clues.

Angel guessed that Capin's family had either moved out of town long ago, or been captured by the real "human traffickers" behind him and used them as hostages to force him to behave.

But in any case, Capin himself was a villain and deserved his death.

I just don't know what other organizations or individuals behind him besides the "Witch Sect" have given him constant support, and even sent many extraordinary people to protect and monitor him.

Angel, who passed the time with newspapers, soon came to the West End and arrived at the mansion of Baroness Servilia Langdon.

After years of living in the aristocratic life, this sleepy-eyed "Witch of Joy" had already aligned her biological clock with those of Backlund's aristocrats who sang and danced every night. She just woke up from her sleep and received Angel with an unhappy look on her face.

"I even doubt that you gave me the task of investigating the Atmospheric Committee. Is it the arrangement of 'Ms. Desperate' or the result of your own laziness." Angel said sarcastically, taking a rather large bag from the other party's hand. Copper wooden box.

"Of course it is the request of 'Ms. Desperate' that we should all get closer to the 'original', and she is ahead of everyone else."

Servilia replied seriously.

In front of the other party, Angel opened the lid of the copper-clad wooden box. This was not consistent with the container she thought "contained eyeballs", but instead seemed to contain someone's head.

Inside the wooden box, on a thick red velvet cushion, there is a pair of eyes that are similar to the size of a normal person. The light green pupils look weird under the gray-white, bloodshot sclera. Being "stared" by them, Angel Feeling cold all over.

She suddenly remembered the strange eyeball that was separated from Mrs. Sharon after her death at the Nighthawks Station in Tingen City. Except for the pupil color being a little different, the feeling it gave her was exactly the same.

"Are these the 'eyes of a succubus'?"

Angel asked cautiously, forcing himself to look away and get rid of the chill on his body.

"That's right, they and the silk glands you got before are all the main materials for 'pleasure'." Servilia yawned and replied, "Look carefully in the box, see if there are any more something else?"

At her reminder, Angel looked inside the wooden box again, and found some translucent threads around the pair of eyeballs, like the invisible spider threads of the "Witch of Joy" she had seen, or something rolled together. long hair...

Could it be the hair of a succubus?

She was startled, and with a look of curiosity on her face, she raised her head and asked, "What is this? It looks a bit like spider silk."

"They are all the hair of this banshee whose eyes were removed. They are considered as bonus materials. You will know the use later. Remember not to separate them from the eyes, otherwise they will soon lose their function. By then, Just spend your own money to buy new ones.”

Sure enough, this is the hair of the enchanting banshee... But this means that a banshee can only get one auxiliary material, which will obviously increase the price of the materials. No, the eyes cannot regenerate, but the hair can, so the former is The main material, the latter is only for auxiliary use...

Is it true that what Laura said about the witch sect keeping seductive banshees in captivity?

Resisting his curiosity, Angel closed the box with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Now, your road to 'happiness' only needs a complete recipe. This time you completed the task at Earl Hall's house well. You have passed the test of the sect. When the next order arrives, you Maybe we can get the formula."

After handing over the materials, the tiredness on Servilia's face was obviously getting worse. She took a sip of black tea to dispel the sleepiness, and then said:

"The stupid 'demon' who was seeking promotion in Backlund was killed by the official Beyonder. The various Beyonder gatherings should gradually resume operations. You should pay attention to those who sell the characteristics of the 'Arbiter' path. If we get important clues, I I will give you the recipe in advance.”

It's a pity that I have already obtained the formula from Laura and confirmed it with divination. With the "Banshee Hair" you gave me today, the two-phase verification confirmed that it is correct.

Angel thought to himself, but readily agreed.
