Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 268 The long-lost exchange of information

"The Abraham family? No, I don't know them."

The woman with long brown hair with slightly curly tips looked extremely confused and quickly shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

This made Angel a little disappointed. She originally guessed that the magician lady who would hear uncontrollable gibbering during the full moon and blood moon was related to the descendants of Abraham who became the "Master Key", so that she could record the secrets of the Abraham family. She sold her notes to the other party, but she did not expect that the other party denied it without hesitation, which disappointed her full expectations and even began to doubt her own reasoning and judgment.

"That's it. Due to some coincidence, I obtained a notebook of the Abraham family..."

Although disappointed, Angel still roughly stated the contents of the note, and mentioned the three recipes for the "apprentice" path included in it, trying to arouse the other party's interest. Of course, the detailed content could only be heard after paying a fee.

"...In view of this extremely rare fear of the full moon and the blood moon, I infer that your situation is probably related to the curse of the Abraham family." After a brief introduction, Angel changed the topic, "The content of the note, plus The formulas from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 inside, I think are worth about 2000 pounds, but these formulas cannot be sold at Tarot meetings after being purchased, and there are no restrictions outside."

The formulas of Sequences 9 to 7 can easily be sold for more than 1500 pounds at various gatherings, and the formulas of the same route are sold together, and the price can even continue to increase. After all, having these three consecutive formulas is equivalent to a foot. Climb the ladder of mid-sequence.

And when talking about the "Apprentice" path formula, especially the "Master of Magic", Angel found that the other party's expression was obviously a little excited, and he sat upright. Unfortunately, after the price of the note was quoted, Miss Magician's body quickly succumbed. , leaned back lazily in his chair, as if he had lost interest in the subsequent content.

"Excuse me, can you sell the formulas in the notes separately? For example, 'Master of Magic', or 'Astrologer'?"

After a moment of silence, the magician asked.

It seems that she is probably an apprentice of Sequence 9. Although she brought along an "astrologer" from Sequence 7 when making an inquiry, her actions when she heard the introduction had exposed her true needs...

Angel was not surprised that the magician only had Sequence 9 strength. When she joined the Tarot Society, she was only a Sequence 9 assassin, while Miss Justice was not even an Extraordinary.Now, she has been promoted to Sequence 6, Justice has also made great progress, and she has provided a lot of financial help to everyone, which shows that Tarot will value potential more than current strength...

Angel thought secretly.

Although selling the formula separately instead of selling it in a package to Miss Magician would greatly reduce the value of the notes, considering that the total price of the notes is high and difficult for the other party to bear at the moment, selling them separately is an acceptable option.Besides, if the other party buys the Sequence 8 formula, he might come back to buy Sequence 7 in the future, and then he might be interested in the Abraham family...

After hesitating for a while, Angel nodded and agreed to the other party's request.

"I can sell you the 'Master of Magic' potion formula alone at the normal transaction price of 450 pounds. If you combine it with the 'Astrologer', we can get a small discount, with a total price of 1200 pounds."

She did not quote the "astrologer's" individual price because she guessed the other party's true goal.

Sure enough, Miss Magician agreed without hesitation: "I will buy the 'Master of Magic' separately first. After the Tarot meeting is over, I will withdraw the money as soon as possible, and then conduct the transaction through Mr. Fool."

With the transaction concluded, the Fool restored the senses of others, bringing the excitement back to the slightly dull palace.

"Mr. Sun, have you successfully separated from the expedition team?"

The Hanged Man looked at the tall figure beside him and asked.

"Yes, after everyone reminded me of the dangers of the 'Fallen Creator' and the possibility that Elder 'Shepherd' Lovia was related to it, I followed your advice and frequently used extraordinary abilities to the point where I was on the verge of losing control. He was taken away from the expedition and imprisoned at the bottom of a round tower, where he was treated through rituals and medicine..."

Mr. Sun described his experience in words mixed with inexplicable emotions. Since Angel had just returned to the Tarot Club this time, she was not aware of their previous exchanges and could only listen carefully. She already knew that Mr. Sun was probably It came from a mysterious area outside the Northern Continent, but the other party's narration still frightened her, as if she was listening to a fictional novel.

"...I met a former expedition leader there who had been imprisoned for 42 years. He said that he met an outsider who did not belong to our city-state and called himself 'Amon' around Silver City. On the way back to Silver City, I took him , the other party mysteriously disappeared, and then his team members went crazy and lost control one after another, leaving only the captain who has been locked under the tower without losing control and has not been released."

After that, he asked hesitantly:

"Have you heard of this 'Amon'?"

Amon...

Angel flipped through the reserve of occult knowledge in his mind, and quickly remembered the Amon family that existed during the Tudor Dynasty of the Fourth Age. Together with the Abraham, Antigonus, Jacob, and Tamara families, they were It is called the "Five Families", but unlike the other four families that are still familiar to this day, the Amon family seems to be covered up by some kind of force, and almost no one remembers or discusses it.

The knowledgeable Hanged Man also gave a similar answer, and added: "It is said that the Amon family is a family of 'blasphemers'. They master the secret of stealing the power of the gods, and even claim to be descendants of the ancient sun god!" "Why would a member of such a family appear around Silver City? What is he looking for? What is his purpose?"

The Hanged Man seems to be answering questions about the sun, but also seems to be raising new questions.

"You can communicate with him more and see if you can dig out new information. But no matter whether the captain you are talking about meets someone from the Amon family or not, my advice is to be cautious. If necessary, ask your elders They ask for help.”

"Help? We are all being held separately, in a sealed underground area."

Mr. Sun looked a little puzzled.

"If imprisonment can solve the problem, will he be imprisoned for 42 years and still not be released?" The Hanged Man hated iron. "The whole team was out of control, and only the captain was alive. He was imprisoned in a place for out-of-control Extraordinaries, but there was no Further processing, coupled with the missing 'Amon', so many doubts, still can't prove his danger? I even suspect that your elders locked you there to test him."

"...Phew, I understand, I will be careful."

After a long time, the sun sighed and answered.

Seeing that they had finished their exchange, Miss Justice said with worry:
"I have received news that the Kingdom and major churches are paying attention to the East End, Dockside Area and Factory Area of ​​Backlund, and are paying attention to the living conditions of all classes there."

"All classes? I'm afraid it's the poor class, right?" "The World", who was sitting in a seat far away from the others, responded in a hoarse tone, "They finally know how to take action. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when the evil god comes around, there will be no one around." You can know why."

"Yes, they focused on the poor people in those areas, and the cult beliefs that gradually spread among the lower classes, such as the 'True Creator'..."

Justice nodded and added.

Angel also thought about what Moriarty said last week about protecting a reporter's interview in the East District, and thought about the homeless people filling the streets in the East District.

If they have no jobs, no shelter, no food, then who can accuse them of believing in evil gods?
And if the evil god comes to the East District, to Backlund...

In her mind, the park in the middle of the street covered in flames, explosions, and flesh and blood appeared again, and the heart-stopping cry of the evil god's heir appeared.

"Ahem, I have a commission to publish," the Hanged Man coughed, breaking the dullness after the serious topic, "Remember the disappearance of the colonial slaves I mentioned last week? There is someone who should be related to it, please help me Pay attention, his name is 'Barron', he has a brown-red complexion, and has various physical features of the Southern Continent, but he speaks with a Backlund accent. The third lower left tooth is missing, but it may have been replaced."

"If traces of him are found, the reward will be at least 100 pounds."

As he spoke, the Hanged Man looked at Angel, as if he thought she would be interested in this.

By the way, I once asked about the slave trade at a Tarot meeting. At that time, the Nighthawks were tracking down the human trade that the Labor Mutual Aid Association of Tingen City was involved in. Did the Hanged Man think I had clues?But I am no longer a night watcher, and I have no channel to pay attention to this matter...

"I recently read something related to human trafficking in the newspaper. Caping, a rich man in Backlund, died in his villa. Several missing girls were found in his basement. It is said that more girls have been They were sold to other places by him.”

After thinking for a moment, she brought up this old news incident to see the Hanged Man's reaction.

Sure enough, the other party sighed in disappointment.

"Miss Justice has already shared this matter in last week's Tarot meeting, and," he looked at the Fool at the head of the long table, "one of Mr. Fool's favored people made a contribution that cannot be ignored."

Ok?
After hearing the Hanged Man's answer, Angel subconsciously looked at the Fool, full of doubts in his heart.

Cappin's death was caused by her and Moriarty's joint efforts, and no third person was involved. Although subsequent reports and rumors regarded the two as one, and it was rumored that they became the "Rogue" Black Emperor, but with Tarot It doesn't matter...

No, does it really matter?

Angel's eyes gradually widened as he thought of the tarot cards Moriarty handed him before taking action and the scene full of judgment he had created.
