Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 355 Early March
  Satisfied with everyone's attention, the Hanged Man easily changed his sitting position and continued:

"High-sequence Extraordinaries can choose to pass on their extraordinary characteristics to their offspring, and the number can be determined independently, while medium-sequences, specifically Sequences 5 and 6, will inherit a small part uncontrollably. This is generally not the case. It will lead to a decline in strength, but if enough are born, it is not impossible to fall back to the low sequence.

"These descendants will be born with some characteristics of this path, equivalent to half of Sequence 9. This locks their development path, but it can also give them higher inspiration and natural extraordinary abilities."

"Wait a minute, if extraordinary characteristics can be passed on to offspring in this way, will this be passed on when the offspring are born, or when... that time?"

While everyone was wandering in the Hanged Man knowledge class, Miss "Queen" asked doubtfully.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt regretful, because everyone's eyes were focused on her, including the world at the end of the long table.

If it weren't for the gray fog, I would even suspect that Mr. Fool is looking at me like this...

She couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, so she had to add hastily:
  "I, I'm just discussing..."

In the end, she still failed to learn from Audrey and make friends out of nothing.

"Well, it should be at the moment when new life is formed, but I haven't tried it, so I can't guarantee it's accurate..."

The Hanged Man replied helplessly, finally getting over this embarrassing topic.

"What about low sequence? I mean sequence 9."

Miss Magician asked, what she was most concerned about was her extra extraordinary characteristics.

"General sequences 7, 8 and 9 will not have this situation, but if you drink additional magic potion, the excess extraordinary characteristics in your body will have a certain probability of being passed on to your offspring, so you can try to conceive and give birth to three children. Four children may be able to solve their own problems.”

"Three, three or four?"

The magician asked in surprise. Through the gray mist, he could see that her limbs were straightened. She was obviously very resistant to this method.

"Of course, at your current stage, you can quickly digest those excessive characteristics by using the 'acting method', and it can even enhance your extraordinary abilities at this stage." Seeing this, the Hanged Man added calmly He said, "But when you reach the mid-sequence, if you accidentally consume too many extraordinary characteristics, it may take several years to digest them through acting. At that time, giving birth to offspring will be a simpler and more effective solution."

However, for women, it may not be that simple...

Angel looked at the increasingly embarrassed Miss Magician and thought to himself.

……

Seeing the 500 pounds and the "Dawn Knight" extraordinary characteristics disappearing in the altar, Angel silently praised Mr. Fool in his heart, picked up the ritual materials on the square table, and left the basement.

Regardless of whether the characteristics of the Dawn Knight can be turned into magical items in time, she has at least received the Fool's promise, obtained the angel's blessing, and can have the courage to face the "Lady of Despair".

Of course, she had not thought of reporting directly to the Church of the Night, catching Servilia and Triss who had been exposed, and also revealing the fact that Prince Edsac had colluded with the Witch Sect, and solved the problem "not perfectly" Backlund's question.

But she believed that her identity was still safe due to her acting and anti-divination, and that the Witch Cult must have a bigger conspiracy, a huge conspiracy that required demigods to sit in charge and the full cooperation of the royal family and the Aurora Society.

If you report it now and alert the snake, the subsequent development may be unpredictable. At least the "Desperate Lady" will definitely escape, leaving behind only those witches lurking in the aristocratic circles. And hidden behind everything, Ince Zangwill and his "0-08" are even harder to find.

Therefore, it is very necessary to meet with Panatia, even if it is just to learn more about the conspiracy behind the Witch Cult...

----

After entering December, Backlund's winter atmosphere became increasingly intense. Of course, this was not the festive atmosphere of Angel's previous life, but the haze that shrouded the largest city in the Northern Continent.

Red Rose Street, near the Tasok River, is getting colder and damper on days when sunshine is hard to see, even if Angel increases the amount of charcoal used in the fireplace, and every household has a sudden increase in heating consumption and factory overtime at the end of the year. Additional production has made the smog even more raging, creating an effect that newspapers called an "endless gray cycle." Fortunately, the death of Duke Negan has not affected the operation of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee. Representatives from all walks of life are actively investigating emissions and pollution levels. It is said that a new bill is expected to be passed next year to gradually replace the original air pollution with anthracite coal in three years. Using high-pollution coal, reducing the discharge of industrial wastewater, and relocating or shutting down some old factories with backward production efficiency will gradually improve Backlund's environment.

"It's a pity that distant water can't save the near fire..."

Looking at the dim sky outside the window, Angel secretly sighed.

After the Tarot Club, she was still waiting for Servilia's notification these days, reading useful parts of the "Book of Secrets", training her extraordinary abilities, and also taking some time to deal with her interpersonal relationships in Backlund. relation.

Her assassin Sherman, with the help of bounty hunter Hugh Dilcha, moved to the East Side near the North Side and rented a more spacious and bright apartment. Although it was still nominally in the East Side, it was Whether it is the environment, sanitation or public security, they are close to the standards of the North District. Of course, the rent is more than twice as expensive.

As a reputable boss, Angel reimbursed him for his rent and moving expenses, leaving him with new "working capital" and told him to continue to establish his own news channels, develop some downlines, and even identify a few people who have the opportunity to become assassins. The premise is that the other person is not a person who kills indiscriminately.

Sherman's performance of the "Assassin" was also on the right track. Even if Angel was limited to his oath to the goddess and could not reveal the acting method to this rookie, he was savvy enough to learn from Angel's few words and his own " The general direction was determined by the experience in the process of "Assassination", and he deliberately established an image of himself specializing in punishing evildoers, from which he learned his own acting rules.

At the current speed, I believe he will be able to complete the digestion of the "Assassin" potion in a few months and be ready to be promoted to Sequence 8.

Outside of "work", Sherman also maintained a good relationship with Hugh Dilcha. Due to the change in his identity, he no longer felt inferior as before. The two got along well with each other as extraordinary people, and even talked to each other. Helped complete some actions. In view of this relationship, Angel asked him to convey her intention to establish a long-term cooperation with him. The bounty hunter's connections and contacts in the East District were exactly what she needed.

"Justice" Audrey Hall has passed the psychological alchemy meeting again. According to this excited girl, she is ready to take the initiative to expose the fact that she is an "audience" at the next meeting and try to obtain Follow-up potions in order to quickly advance the sequence within the Alchemy Society and obtain clues to the formula of the "psychiatrist".

Of course, all this must be done under the protection of Mr. Fool, otherwise she would not be sure to hide it from those extraordinary people who are good at prying into the soul.

Angel also tried to hide his whereabouts, and went to Lily Granger's original residence to explore, and found that Lily had moved away under the protection of the Nighthawks, but was still at Backlund Technical College - this month it was officially After completing the reorganization and upgrading to the Industrial and Technical University - attending school, she did not follow Lily to find her new residence because she was worried about attracting the attention of the Nighthawks again.

Laura once again invited Angel to talk in person. While providing new communication potions, she also revealed the conclusions of her and Vincent's investigation into the military.

Through verification from various sources, Laura believes that the military has not turned to the combination of the Witch Sect and a certain force in the royal family on a large scale, but there are indeed many mid-level Beyonders in the military's special department "MI[-]". Mysterious, he may have joined the Witch Sect's human trafficking chain. Prince Edsac lived in seclusion and did not seem to be involved in these conspiracies, at least for this period of time.

This also shows that the Witch Sect has only attracted some individuals from the military and the royal family, rather than fully cooperating with the two. Otherwise, the military would not have to be so sneaky in selecting a small number of extraordinary people to participate in the population trade.

Based on Laura's account, Angel guessed that the "hunter" Vincent who worked with the two was probably a member of the military, or at least had close contact with them, which is why he was able to obtain this information so quickly.

But compared to these things, Angel believes that the most important thing at the moment is the digestion of "joy". Compared with various foreign objects, enhancing the mastery of potions is undoubtedly the fastest way to improve strength, but she has some problems with the means of acting. Expectation, but also with resistance, she felt that her relationship with Sherlock should not be such a purposeful relationship, but it was absolutely impossible for her to find someone else to play the role. For any purpose, she could not do it. Such betrayal.

In this entanglement, Angel received an invitation from Shylock.

……

Minsk Street 15.

After ringing the doorbell politely, Angel saw that Sherlock didn't come to open the door, so he took out the key, opened the door himself, and walked into the living room.

It was already evening, but the gas lamp was not lit in the living room. In the dim room, Sherlock stood by the coffee table with his back to the door, wearing a thin tuxedo and a half-high silk top hat.

This is completely different from his usual attire that facilitates movement...

Angel smiled secretly. The dim environment had no effect on her. This act of pretending to be mysterious was of no use at all...

Just when she was about to laugh at the other party, Sherlock turned around when he heard the sound of the door closing and showed a faint smile.

That smiling face without a trace of beard, with ordinary features but young and bookish, is none other than the Klein Moretti that Angel dreams of.
