Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 309 The plans of both sides

Last time, in order to find the whereabouts of Lanerwus, he forced a divination on the "True Creator", which almost killed Angel. If it weren't for the protection of the secret holy symbol, I'm afraid she would have turned into a human in the sewers of the East District. A corpse whose original appearance cannot be seen.

But this time, just seeing a sapphire ring made her feel as scared as facing the aura of an evil god.

It turns out that Triss was not affected by "0-08", but was plotted by the Witch Sect, and her body contained the aura of an evil god, like Lanreus, like... Megoose?Could it be that the breath in her body is the "original witch" that the Witch Sect believes in?
Or maybe it's a combination of both. Ince Zangwill, who cooperated with the Witch Cult, used 0-08 to plan this incident, and Triss's weirdness was just another insurance.

Angel didn't dare to think about it, and he had no time to think about it. Triss on the opposite side of the mirror was looking at this side with expectant eyes, with a faint smile on her face, which was poignant and endearing.

No, that's just the way the pleasure witch uses it...

Angel gathered his thoughts and shook his head firmly.

"I can't promise you for the time being. Servilia is pretty good to me, and the promised reward has never been delayed. I have no reason to betray her."

She didn't really think that the middle-level members of the Witch Cult were very honest, but she would rather face other pleasure witches than Triss who was at the center of the mysterious vortex.

"Oh, betrayal... What kind of betrayal can be said for people who come together through profit and deception? You can think about it carefully, whether you will never get ahead within the sect, or you can do me a small favor and get a pass. The key to the demigod?”

Demi god?Does she even know the Sequence 4 potion formula?

Angel raised her eyebrows, but before she could answer, the communication potion had evaporated, and the ice mirror in front of her returned to normal in a flash, reflecting her blurry face.

----

Seeing the round-faced witch's doubtful and wary face disappear into the mirror, Triss sighed softly and reached out to wipe away the remaining dark red potion on the dressing mirror. Black flames shot up in her hand, burning The mirror burned the entire room, cleaning away all traces.

"I didn't expect that this guy looked stupid, but he was unexpectedly alert. Who was she before she became a witch? Cole? Mason? I should have known more about those colleagues who had never been masked before, instead of just focusing on promotion. …”

Looking at the sapphire ring on her little finger, Triss was a little curious. Today, she was ready to be controlled by an unknown force during the conversation and stop asking for help. Unexpectedly, the conversation went very smoothly, even though the other party did not agree to help escape. , but he has put some of his chips on the table, arousing the other party's interest.

Next, I will continue to play the woman who tries to escape in a stupid way...

With a smile on her lips, she opened the door and walked out of the secret room, leaving her bedroom. As soon as she came to the corridor, she immediately felt several eyes locked on her. They were the maid and housekeeper who were responsible for monitoring and protecting her.

In addition, there was also a blazing gaze that fell on Triss' face. She looked back and found that it was Prince Edsac's friend, the equestrian teacher Talim Dumont.

This gentleman with short curly brown hair and wearing a black woolen coat came towards Tris and stopped one meter away under the alert gaze of the maid beside him.

"Miss Triss, the horse you asked to choose last time has arrived. It has a docile personality and is well-trained. It will not shake the beautiful lady off the horse again."

"Great, I need to see it first."

The two of them talked and gradually walked towards the stables in a corner of the manor, away from the sight of others.

"How have you considered that matter?"

Talim lowered his voice, and his eyes fell on the old housekeeper who was looking at the door of the villa.

"I mentioned it to Edsac, and he got furious and told me to stop talking. I, I don't know what to do..."

Triss petted the mare that Talim had brought, and replied amid its snoring, with hesitation and pain in her tone.

"You know, that is the best choice for both of you. As long as you are willing to leave Backlund, I can find a way!"

The equestrian teacher's eyes were so intense that Triss couldn't bear it. She had to turn her head and said nothing, but there was a trace of expectation in her eyes.

Talim understood and led the horse towards the depths of the stable. Behind him, the newly promoted "Witch of Joy" had a cold smile on her lips.

———— Late at night, Angel was summarizing the contents of today’s call with Tris in the study, preparing to inform Laura at the right time. Although the news contained important clues, it was not considered urgent, so she did not use the communication potion in advance. .

Although Triss told a lot of secrets in order to ask for help and impress Angel, but in summary, she found that in addition to knowing the hiding place of the other party, she could report it to the Nighthawks at critical moments by capturing or killing Triss. There isn't much useful information other than interfering with the Witch Sect's plan.

The only thing that is useful is probably Triss's sapphire ring. It is probably a magical item no less than 0-08, and may even be related to the "original witch"...

Her thoughts were interrupted by the coldness in her chest, and the fear of peeping at the gods spread throughout her body, making her whole body cold.

Oh, it turns out that the magic mirror hidden in the chest reacted...

She scratched her head, took out the magic mirror and looked at the mirror, and found that the dark red potion that had been applied around it had seeped into the surrounding glass, and the screen flickered in the area circled by them, and a familiar figure appeared in it.

"Sherlock? Is there something urgent?"

After seeing the person on the other side of the mirror clearly, Angel moved the magic mirror a little further so that the other person could see the scene on his side clearly, and then asked.

"It's not urgent, but I think I should tell you, otherwise I may not have the chance in the future."

Sherlock's unhurried answer made Angel feel nervous.

"No chance?" she blurted out, and then immediately thought of a possibility, "'Apostle of Desire'?"

"Yes."

Sherlock on the other side of the mirror was bent over awkwardly. The surrounding environment was small and cramped, as if he was in the bathroom. After hearing Angel's words, he showed a wry smile and nodded.

"After leaving the party yesterday, I found a letter written in blood as soon as I got home. It said what the 'Eye of Wisdom' mentioned, a crime notice for November 11. The only good news is that he thought I was Instead of ordinary detectives, they have only sent out threatening letters and have taken no further action."

"You should have agreed to the 'Eye of Wisdom' commission then!" Angel couldn't help complaining, "Do you need me to go to your side now?"

"If the 'Apostle of Desire' had delivered the letter a few hours earlier, I would have definitely agreed, but it's not too late now. I accept protection as Detective Moriarty, and you continue to be in the dark."

Angel suddenly realized.

"So what you mean when you say 'no chance' to tell me is that you plan to accept the protection of official Beyonders?"

she asked, relieved.

"Yes, just like Mr. Eye of Wisdom said, I plan to report the crime before the next party, and then contact other detectives who have received threatening letters, and suggest that they report the crime together and accept the surveillance and protection of official extraordinary people. Fish out the Desire Apostle. And you can accept the commission through the 'Eye of Wisdom' and act in secret to increase the success rate of the action.

"You haven't received a threatening letter, which means that the desire apostle either has no way to kill the demon dog, or can't find your location with anti-divination. You are hiding in the dark and can solve the problem without revealing your identity. this incident.

"Of course, there is a certain risk..."

"Just do it!"

Angel replied before Sherlock finished speaking.

She originally thought that the other party did not want to get involved in this matter, so after he refused the "Eye of Wisdom", he also refused the commission. Unexpectedly, Sherlock was not nervous at all because he had not received a threatening letter, which made her a little bit I can't laugh or cry.

"Anyway, it's best not to come to my place these days. Maybe there will be an official Beyonder targeting my home soon. It will probably be the Machinery Heart, because I am a believer of the Church of Steam for the time being."

The two exchanged some details about reporting the crime and squatting in secret. Sherlock drew the triangular holy emblem on his chest, and then the follower of the Fool interrupted the scene in the mirror.
