Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 272 Laura’s thoughts

After receiving the 450 pounds in cash paid by Miss Magic through the Fool's sacrifice and gift, Angel's savings finally exceeded 3500 pounds. This is the largest amount of money she has personally held since she received 3200 pounds from the Eye of Wisdom. .

Stacks of banknotes were placed in the room, and she couldn't even sleep well. Early the next morning, she immediately went to the nearest Backlund Bank and deposited most of the cash in her bearer account, leaving only Some spare change for emergencies.

After his wallet bulged, Angel, who had no place to spend money for the time being, thought of the extraordinary weapon that Carvey said, and its price happened to be 3500 pounds. An amount that seemed out of reach last week, now he only needs to pay for it. She could buy it with her wallet, which made her quite excited.

"Just empty your wallet..."

Sitting in the divination club, Angel murmured and took a sip of the free coffee. After drinking Audrey's "Saint Dessi Mountain Coffee", this kind of cheap coffee beans with a strong roasted flavor was no longer a favorite. She favored them, but unfortunately neither she nor the club could afford coffee beans imported from Feneport, so they had to make do.

"If I really buy that weapon, I will be penniless again. I think when I first arrived in Backlund, I still had the 50 pounds that Ms. Arianna gave me..."

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Angel opened the newspaper in front of him and fully enjoyed all the benefits that he could get for free as a club member.

After being promoted to Sequence 6, she no longer needs to play the role of "witch", which makes her time in the Divination Club seem a bit boring and wasted. However, since she has paid the membership dues for the year, she naturally still has to take advantage of the free coffee and newspapers here.

Of course, she has already made up her mind not to renew next year.

Opening the newspaper, she subconsciously looked at the page where the secret advertisement for the Extraordinary Gathering would be published, and soon discovered that Mr. A would hold a gathering tomorrow evening. Angel felt happy that he might be able to sell a few copies of the formula at the rally to refill his wallet that was about to be emptied by the craftsmen.

Afterwards, she roughly flipped through the other pages, but found no other interesting content. Ever since the serial murderer was "arrested" and the incident of Kapin's gangster incident subsided, Backlund had not appeared to attract everyone's attention for some time. The topic has changed. Intis started to hype the case of the ambassador's murder. The expired explosives that were not cleaned up in the abandoned West Balam dock were ignited by cigarette butts. These are all uninteresting contents.

Only the Eastern District homeless population survey published in the corner of the page made her calm down and read the full text. Unfortunately, it was far from the survey results Sherlock said, and it had obviously been deleted and edited.

Combined with what Miss Audrey, the "Justice" of the Tarot Society, said that "the upper echelons of the kingdom and the church are paying attention to this matter," it is very likely that the reporter's report was submitted to the upper echelons of the kingdom for their internal reference, and the report sent to the newspaper Just a small part.

After reading this newspaper and preparing to go to the front desk to pour a new cup of coffee and change another newspaper, there was a knock on the door of Angel's fortune-telling room. She heard four familiar knocks in succession. She sighed secretly and closed the door. Started the newspaper.

"Good morning, Miss Divination Witch, why can't you be more happy to see me?"

Laura Swann wore a light green dress that reached her ankles today and a shawl made of the fur of an unknown animal to cope with the chill of early winter. She sat across from the divination table with a smile and untied the shawl. The shawl reveals the fair skin under the neck.

At this time, Angel already knew that her actions were not intentional, but the charm that the "Happy Witch" exuded involuntarily, but he still had difficulty taking his eyes away. It was not until the other party took off his felt hat and put it aside that he realized and asked road:
"Is this how you play the 'Pleasure Witch'? Dress up beautifully and act charming?"

Although she already had a vague guess in her mind, she still wanted to ask this "Happy" what he thought.

"What, are you ready to learn how to perform Sequence 6 in advance?" Laura smiled sweetly, and then covered her mouth with her hands to cover her teeth, "The easiest way is to let yourself and others gain supreme 'pleasure'. But you have to keep your identity in mind all the time, which is a kind of pain. Of course, maybe there is some kind of alternative way of acting just like the slow acting you are finding in a new way now. When you reach Sequence 6, you can explore it by yourself."

Alternative... I think the method you mentioned is alternative...

Angel's inner suspicion was confirmed, but this was not pleasant.

"Speaking of acting, I have an opportunity here that may allow you to complete the digestion progress of the witch's potion at once." Laura changed the topic and talked about the purpose of her coming here. "Have you got any information within the witch sect? ? What are their recent trends?" Due to his recent busyness with promotions and returning to the Tarot Club, Angel almost forgot about the Witch Sect. At this time, he wanted to shake his head, but then he thought of the Tarot Club. Barron, the human trafficker mentioned by the Hanged Man, and his guess that it might be related to the Witch Cult, nodded and said:
"Remember the last time you mentioned the relationship between the human trafficking Kapin and the Witch Sect?" She considered her words, carefully revealed some information, and tested the other party, "Actually, the Witch Sect not only has these businesses in Backlund, but also in Backlund. In the surrounding places such as Tingen City and Port Enmat, there are gangs or semi-legal organizations controlled by them that carry out human trafficking, and recently there was a human trafficker who seemed to be related to many missing slave cases in the colonies of the Southern Continent..."

She told Laura the appearance of "Barron" whom the Hanged Man was tracking, and successfully made the other party think for a long time.

"I have never seen this person, but I have remembered his appearance and characteristics, and will pay more attention to him." After a moment, the Happy Witch, who had an inexplicable hatred for the Witch Sect, nodded and replied, "What you said I have also heard that the Witch Sect’s human trafficking business is very large, and it is somewhat unscrupulous. It seems that they are not afraid of being discovered by the Kingdom and the Righteous God Church. What makes me most curious is who will eventually buy so many slaves. gone?"

Without waiting for Angel to answer, she continued:

"If, I mean if, there was such an opportunity to severely damage the Witch Sect and give you a chance to play, would you be willing to do it?"

I have finished playing the role a long time ago, and although I have to deal with the Witch Sect, I don’t think that relying solely on human trafficking can solve a secret sect with a history of thousands of years...

Angel thought and didn't answer.

Seeing her silence, Laura sneered: "Ah, now is the time when their strength is at its weakest. There are only three 'Happiness' and one 'Pain' in Backlund. That demigod has probably left the capital. , when she comes back, maybe she won’t have such a good opportunity again.”

"pain"?Is this Sequence 5 after "The Witch of Joy"?Just called the "Pain Witch"?
Angel remembered the name, but still did not reply to Laura. She guessed that the other party probably wanted to use the human trafficking incident to cause trouble, but not to mention the secret witch sect, even a cult like the Aurora Society that frequently caused bloody cases, A A divine messenger like Mr. can also openly hold a gathering of Beyonders in Backlund. Without grasping their true weakness, it is impossible to deliver a fatal blow.

----

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Angel took a carriage to Viscount Gray Lint's house in Queens, and was guided by the maid into the study room used for receptions.

Audrey, who was dressed simply and without any jewelry, was already sitting behind the desk. Grainint was absentmindedly flipping through a novel. Next to him sat Fors Wall, who had a somewhat lazy temperament. The Viscount was flipping through a novel. The novel seems to be one she published a few years ago.

"Miss Eileen, thank you for coming here. It's a pity that Miss Xio couldn't attend because she was busy. Otherwise, everyone at our occult gathering would have been here."

Seeing her arrival, Gray Lint put down the novel, stood up and walked towards the door actively. He was not usually so enthusiastic, which made Angel feel a little curious.

Then she noticed that the Viscount's temperament had changed a lot, especially that he was more confident and smiling. She guessed that the other person might have had some kind of identity change.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty the Viscount, you must have gathered the materials to become a real 'pharmacist'."

She smiled and congratulated the other party.

When the secret was exposed, the young Viscount was not angry, but showed a happier smile. It was obvious that his performance was to show off his success.

"That's right, Miss Irene, thank you for your formula. I have become..." He magically took out several bottles of potions of different colors in exquisite crystal bottles from his pocket, holding them between his fingers. Showing, "the true extraordinary person."
