Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 301 Meeting Triss again

"Severia, it's a good thing I saw you here tonight, otherwise I wouldn't know who I would dance with."

Gray Linte, who had become a pharmacist, smiled and leaned forward to kiss his hands. He was more energetic than before, which made Angel suspect the true purpose of his perseverance in searching for this potion.

"Miss Eileen, it's nice to see you too. I haven't seen you in my salon recently, and Audrey doesn't attend much. Have you all forgotten me?"

After saying hello to Servilia, Gray Linte looked at Angel again, with the same smile on his face, and raised his hand slightly exaggeratedly.

"Sorry, I've been a little busy lately. I will definitely attend the salon next week."

Actually, it’s because I went directly to Audrey’s house, skipping the “middleman” like you...

Angel cursed.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Gray Linte formally invited Servilia to dance with her.

"Baby, go to the restaurant and rest for a while. You might meet someone unexpected."

After Servilia left an incomprehensible word, she stretched out her arm for the Viscount to take. The two walked towards the center of the hall, and then started a slightly ambiguous dance amidst the sudden changes in the dance music.

"I didn't expect that Gray Linte would be interested in a woman older than him like Servilia... Well, but it may be that the power of 'pleasure' is at work. Servilia would not want to think of herself as a baroness. Change your title to Viscountess?"

Angel watched for a while and noticed that the two of them seemed to be dancing closer together, their movements ambiguous, and his mouth suddenly felt dry.In order to avoid having some strange thoughts if she continued reading, she followed the other party's arrangement and walked from the circular corridor on the second floor to the restaurant at the back.

This is a hall about the same size as the ballroom in front. There are long tables covered with white tablecloths. On them are plates of exquisite dishes, glasses of expensive wine, and various cold cuts and pastries.

Another band was playing music in the corner that was different from the style in the front hall. Some guests who had to come to socialize but were not interested in the noisy dance hall gathered here, holding dinner plates or wine glasses. Satisfied and chatting.

Angel, who had not yet eaten because he was wearing a complicated long dress, happily picked up the dinner plate, selected some of his favorite sweets, and the meat that he was particularly interested in tonight, went to a corner of the restaurant, and quickly consumed these valuable foods. .

"Severia said that I will meet unexpected people, does that mean there is someone here who will take the initiative to find me? According to what she said before, it is a certain lady, maybe I also know..."

After filling her stomach, she picked up a glass of low-alcohol sweet wine and used the gesture of raising the glass to cover up her gaze as she looked around at the guests.

Their average age is much older than the nobles dancing in the hall in front of them. Many of them are already middle-aged. They also talk about government affairs, large transactions and year-end income. It is more like a dinner party to discuss business than a ball.But no one paid attention to her, and no one came up to talk to her.

To her surprise, the "Hunter" Beyonder who had appeared with Laura, Vincent, was also in the crowd.This middle-aged man in a tuxedo and thick-rimmed glasses was talking to two other men, his hand holding the glass constantly shaking.

Feeling Angel's eyes, he turned his head slightly and looked over, and instantly recognized the "Pleasure Witch" with whom he had established a private cooperation.

The two people's eyes met and they looked away in tacit agreement.

"But it can't be Vincent that Servilia is talking about. Did I misunderstand the meaning? She really just asked me to come here to rest?"

Angel was full of doubts, pacing from one corner of the restaurant to the other, and then around to the side corridor.

There are priceless landscape paintings hanging here. The lights are bright but there are few guests. There are several doors leading to independent balconies, most of which are closed. There seems to be someone talking outside, and only one door is ajar.

She pushed open the door, and from the balcony outside she could see the red moon in the sky and the meticulously tended garden below. But to her surprise, a man and a woman were already standing on the balcony, both looking at it with curious eyes. To her uninvited guest. "Sorry, I thought no one was here..."

Angel, who interrupted their tryst, quickly looked away, apologized, and prepared to leave.

"No, please wait a moment, young lady."

The woman in a heavy black skirt said softly, while winking at the middle-aged man next to her. The latter nodded, walked past Angel, left the balcony, and closed the door behind him.

As the other person turned her face completely towards Angel, she could see clearly the face of the woman in the black dress. She was completely different from the old-fashioned dress she was wearing. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with long black hair, slender eyes, and a A round face that makes people feel affectionate.

She is Tris, who met Angel once at the Dragon Bar underground market in Tingen City. She is also a witch who once set up a curse altar in the suburbs of the West End, fought against the Nighthawks, and even nearly killed Klein.

Triss!
Angel looked at the other party with a puzzled expression, his brows slightly raised, as if he was curious about why the other party wanted to leave her on the balcony, but his heart was already in a state of turmoil.

It turns out that this witch came to Backlund after escaping from Tingen City... It seems that she was taken back to the organization by the Witch Cult, and she was even placed with a certain noble?
When he met Servilia for the first time and accepted her "examination", the other party once mentioned that he had picked up an important chess piece from Tingen. Angel didn't pay attention to it at the time. Looking back now, he wonders whether he was talking about this special chess piece. Liz?
At this moment, Angel thought a lot.

Fortunately, she was wearing the "Ring of Madness", and even used that incomplete magical item to be on the safe side, transforming into human skin with the "faceless man" properties, which ensured that the other party would not be able to recognize her true identity.

"Are you the other 'witch' that Servilia mentioned?"

Triss took the initiative to speak, glancing towards the door from time to time. Behind the translucent glass, you could see the silhouette of the middle-aged man reflected in the light. The latter was like a sculpture, faithfully guarding the balcony.

Angel nodded cautiously and did not answer.She had no idea what Servilia's plans for tonight were, but judging from the other party's reaction, the "unexpected person" that Servilia mentioned should be Triss.

By the way, during her examination, I once said that I was also under Mrs. Sharon, and that I knew "Tris"...Does she think I don't know that she has become a witch and has turned into a woman? Want to give me a "surprise"?
After figuring this out in an instant, Angel had a follow-up plan.

"Oh, I recognized you from the necklace you were wearing. Servilia said I knew you, but who exactly are you?"

Her beautiful face was full of doubts, Triss tilted her head slightly and continued to ask.

The look in this moment was so endearing that Angel's chest was pounding, and he almost wanted to tell the truth.

She immediately understood that this unique power of making any movement full of temptation was one of the characteristics of the "Pleasure Witch".

The opponent is no longer a "Witch", but a "Happy" who has been promoted to Sequence 6!
I don’t know if Servilia or the Witch Cult is clear about this...

Angel secretly thought to himself, and put on a puzzled expression on his face, as if he was thinking about it. After a moment, his eyes widened, and he said as if he suddenly realized:

"Is it you, are you Tris?"

Triss's expression showed a hint of panic after her identity was revealed, and then it was covered by a smile that understood everything.

"Sure enough, you really know me. Are you from Tingen City...are you another 'assassin' under Sharon Hoy?"
