Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 311 Preparations Before Action
Early on Wednesday morning, the magic mirror carried by Angel received a message from Sherlock Moriarty.

She had expected this, because yesterday's "Backlund Morning News" published an advertisement for Ernst Trading Company on the fifth page, which meant that tonight at eight o'clock tonight, the Extraordinary Host hosted by "Eye of Wisdom" would be held on time. reunion.

It also means that her plan with Sherlock is about to begin.

"According to the previous plan, I will go to the nearest police station to report the crime later." Sherlock on the other side of the mirror seemed to be in the bathroom again, his voice a little low, "I will say that after receiving the threatening letter, I thought it was a prank, so I did not I didn't report the crime immediately, but then I remembered my contribution to the 'serial murder case' and thought I was being targeted by the murderer's companions, so I went to report the crime. Also, by coincidence, there was a detective I knew yesterday. He came to me and he also received a threatening letter, which would be an opportunity for me to report the crime and seek help.”

"And I will attend today's Extraordinary gathering, agree to the request of the 'Eye of Wisdom', and participate in the search for the person behind the scenes as the Extraordinary who killed the 'Devil Dog'. You are under the protection of the official Extraordinary, Try not to reveal your identity, and you can also use it as a back-up for attacks.”

Angel looked at the palm-sized magic mirror in front of him and replied.

"In fact, I suspect that I have been secretly monitored and protected by official extraordinary people. There are signs of slight interference in my divination."

Is that why you hid in the bathroom and talked to me on the phone?

Angel curled his lips and ended the connection between the two mirrors as quickly as possible to prevent the monitored detective from revealing his true identity and strength.

Besides, she also has a lot of things that need to be completed as soon as possible. Once she joins the "Eye of Wisdom" plan, Angel estimates that she won't have much free time to use before solving the secret apostle of desire.

After hurriedly finishing breakfast, she first came to the North District and came to the private detective agency responsible for monitoring Lily Granger's home. The detective named Raymond was personally watching, and she was received by a young assistant.

Unfortunately, during more than a week of tracking, the man in the divination screen was not found. The man seemed to have disappeared after sending the last threatening letter. Angel even suspected that he just wrote the threatening letter to scare Lily, and not Unless you are ready to actually do it.

But according to the findings of the detective and his assistants, the Nighthawks still have not given up on protecting Lily Granger, which means that they have some information that Angel does not know and are still doubting the possibility of the threat coming true.

So Angel paid for the next week in advance and asked the detective to keep an eye on the residence throughout the day.Although there are night watchers in the light, she feels that it is safer to have a group of people observing in secret.

Then, she went to Servilia's residence in the West End. The pleasure witch had previously said that she would give her another task to prevent Triss from escaping, but there had been no follow-up since that ball, so she was asked to do so. I almost thought the other party had forgotten about it.

This time when they arrived at Baron Langdon's mansion, Servilia was not at home. The housekeeper, who seemed to know something, told Angel that she would not have any other tasks in the near future, and asked her to continue to maintain her relationship with Earl Hall's family, that is, Friendship with Audrey Hall.

Angel has some speculations about Servilia's mysterious disappearance.

According to the information obtained from Laura and the information revealed by Servilia herself, the high-sequence Extraordinary of the Witch Sect, "Ms. Despair" is likely to return to Backlund in the near future. Servilia may be doing this for this reason. To make some preparations, he no longer cares about the arrangements of his subordinates.

Angel was also happy with this. Before she figured out the weird things about Triss, she didn't want to have any contact with her at all. This witch who was troubled by her identity was keen on using various methods to escape. Angel always felt that sooner or later she would escape. Make something big happen.

After leaving the West Side, she went to the East Side without stopping, and found Sherman on the second floor of a simple apartment.

The latter finally looked a bit like an "assassin" at this time. At least he was not as shy as Angel when he first met him. Now he could tell at a glance that he was someone "stained with blood".

"Has the first goal been solved?"

Angel asked as he sat down on the chair in the living room.

But she already had the answer in her heart.

"Yes, yes." Once he spoke, Sherman became the timid newbie again. "I spent the whole day following and observing him to find out his daily routine, but in the end I just picked him up in his sleep. Kill, those abilities such as sneaking into the shadows and charging a blow are all useless..."

"Isn't this great? Those abilities need to be used desperately. As long as you plan properly and wait patiently for opportunities, you won't be able to use them."

Angel praised the newbie, trying to make him more confident.

Sherman then continued to report on the results of tracking and investigating those "Barrons" in the past few days. One of them, Barron, who also came from the Southern Continent, worked as a thug in a tavern. He slept soundly during the day and guarded the door at night. He was completely different from the human traffickers. On the other hand, his appearance is different from the characteristics provided by Angel, so he has been ruled out as a suspect.The other two Barrons, Sherman and several of his men are still under investigation, and the results should be available in the next few days.

Although this was a commission provided by the Hanged Man of the Tarot Society, because it involved human trafficking, it was more likely to be related to the Witch Sect and the Aurora Society. Angel was very interested in this. She asked Sherman to immediately communicate through the communication as soon as he had any news. Pharmacy contact.

Afterwards, she helped Sherman choose the next assassination target, and left the apartment after giving some pointers on some combat techniques. Although this new assassin had a questionable personality, he had good talent. When he first planned the assassination, he knew " The performance of "Assassin" made Angel lament the witch sect's vision in selecting members.

----

At night, the "Eye of Wisdom" Extraordinary gathering was held on time. When Angel came to the venue wearing a hooded robe and an iron mask, he was surprised to find that Sherlock did not attend.

"He may be under the protection of the 'Machine Heart' now..."

Thinking secretly, Angel sat in a corner of the room, and then was surprised to see the fat pharmacist, Darkwill, sitting near the midfield.

"Does anyone sell the 'Warrior' potion formula?"

This "animal tamer" has obviously found a satisfactory animal and is selecting the right potion to turn it into a supernatural creature.

"Aren't you a 'pharmacist'? What do you need warrior potion for?"

The "Black Snake" who had always had a bad relationship with him said in a sharp voice.

Darkwill snorted and repeated his request instead of answering him.

"Besides 'Warrior', do you need other potions? For example, 'Apprentice', I can sell it to you together with the subsequent sequences, so that you don't have to buy it everywhere every time."

Seeing that the animal trainer was a little anxious, Angel took the opportunity to sell his formula.

"Is it you?" The other party heard her voice and asked doubtfully, "You should know that what I need is a potion with sufficient fighting ability, a warrior, or...or your way."

Fortunately, this guy has the most basic sense and didn't tell me my path...

Angel frowned at this guy who spoke so freely, and was secretly glad in his heart.

"Combat ability? Then you can go to the 'audience', their ancient name is the 'dragon' path!"

Another member of the party who was not too concerned about the excitement spoke up, with a sarcastic and smiling tone.

……

After the party, Angel shook her head slightly when the waiter came to lead her away. The waiter understood, walked around her sofa, and took the others away one by one. In the end, she was the only one left with the " "Eye of Wisdom" Mr.

"I'm surprised that you changed your mind. Well, it seems that your partner didn't attend the party today either?"

After watching the last member leave, the waiter closed the door, and then his wise eyes looked at Angel in the corner and asked.

"He wasn't interested in it, so he didn't come over." Angel made up a random reason to cover for Sherlock. "Let's talk about the details of the commission and the remuneration I can get."
