Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 376 Strange Name

"Gehrman Sparrow? Does this name mean something?"

Seeing Klein making up his false identity information at the desk, Angel asked curiously.

This last name was inexplicably familiar to her.

"The crazy adventurer who hunts evil, the legendary pirate who travels across the five seas... Well, I need to add some details."

As if to introduce himself, Klein patted his chest and nodded to Angel, making a gentlemanly salute, and then picked up the pen and added a few words on the paper.

"pirate……"

Hearing this word, Angel remembered why the surname "Sparrow" was so familiar. He was a fictional but famous pirate in her previous life, but why did Klein use him as a pseudonym and call himself a legend? Pirates, could it be...

"With such a strange surname, it couldn't be an early work of Emperor Russell, right?"

This time traveler two hundred years ago plagiarized almost all the literature, art, and inventions of his previous life, and crystallized the wisdom of countless predecessors for his own use. Presumably this "Sparrow" was also one of his achievements.

"Russell...it turns out he has already used it?"

Klein's expression was a little dull and he murmured to himself. After a moment, he nodded helplessly:

"Maybe, so do I, um, that's what I heard..."

At this point, he suddenly lost his desire to create, put down his pen, put the identity information of "Gehrman Sparrow" in his bag, and looked at Angel beside him.

"What about you? Have you decided on an identity?"

Angel was not as interested in improvisation as he was. He shook his head and said with a smile:

"How about you help me think of one?"

This easily aroused Klein's interest again, and he said with bright eyes:

"How about calling her Maria?"

"another."

She instinctively felt that something was wrong, and that the name had a special meaning that she did not want to use as a false identity.

"Then...Angelica?"

Although the smile on Klein's lips made Angel feel a little strange, the pronunciation of the name was similar to her own, so she hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

……

Recalling the process of the two of them making up fake names, Angel also handed over his identity information - Angelica Sage, as well as the handling fee, and a stack of small bills totaling 100 pounds.

After paying the fee for "The Hanged Man" to contact him to make the knight bracelet, Angel still had about 2200 pounds in cash, most of which was already stored in the bank. At this time, after handing over 100 pounds, her wallet had shrunk greatly, which made her feel a little bit. My heart ached, and the fingers that pinched the money turned a little white.

Fortunately, Sharon, who looked indifferent, did not notice Angel's little thoughts. After she put away the note and banknotes, her figure quickly faded and disappeared into the carriage.

This "ghostly" behavior left Angel speechless. Perhaps Miss Sharon has completely integrated the "acting method" into her daily life.

-

On the pretext that he needed to pack up his belongings and return the house, Angel did not go to Klein's house today, but went straight back to No. 47 Red Rose Street.

Her two safe houses were both in the East District, which was already in chaos. Countless police officers were struggling to maintain order and prevent theft, robbery, wounding and other crimes that could be seen everywhere after the disaster. So she didn't follow her usual routine of going to the safe house and taking a detour back home.

Of course, another reason for not living at Klein's house is the new round of "Tarot Club" that will start tomorrow.

Although Klein, as a believer of Mr. Fool, probably already knew about this small gathering in the Gray Mist Palace, Angel was still prepared to ask Mr. Fool for instructions before telling him this.

Moreover, that would most likely expose my "introduction" to Mr. Fool... Angel shook his head worriedly and walked into the basement.

She dug out the communication potion Laura gave her, used half of the bottle and smeared it on the half-length mirror in the basement, and then quietly waited for the other party's response.

"Anyway, the validity period is not long, and I am about to leave Backlund, so I won't be able to use the rest..."

She murmured, throwing the remaining half bottle of potion into the air, and reaching out to catch it, finding a suitable reason for her waste.

"This makes me so sad. I lost a lot of blood in order to make this bottle of potion."

The sudden sound in the mirror made Angel almost throw away the glass bottle. She looked at the half-length mirror whose edges had turned dark and the potion began to evaporate. Laura Swan's tired face had appeared inside. The latter was wearing a hood and cloak, with her black hair rolled up casually. According to the image in the mirror From the angle, Angel guessed that she was using the magic mirror she carried with her.

"I have been waiting for your message all day. I even thought that you died at the hands of 'Lady Despair' Panatia. It's great to see that you are okay."

Laura's tone always had the sweetness unique to "joy", but the slight concern made Angel feel warm in his heart.

However, she did "die at the hands of Panatia". From this point of view, Laura has the temperament of a prophet.

"Fortunately, Panatia didn't have time to pay attention to a small role like me. She probably went to the East District after meeting with me and launched this smog..."

Angel selectively revealed part of the situation to Laura, including Mr. A's attempt to summon the "True Creator" and Panatia's trip to the East District to cooperate in launching the Great Smog and collecting innocent souls, but he concealed the details of his battle, death, and resurrection. go through.

"It is consistent with the information I have collected. This great smog was indeed created by Panatia. It is their so-called 'big plan'... It seems that her 'Despair' potion should have been almost digested. Humph, I’m afraid she also has a lot of selfish motives for taking on such a task.”

After listening to Angel's narration, Laura frowned and murmured to herself.

"Creating a large-scale tragedy and creating more 'despair' is the way to play this sequence?"

Although he could guess a lot of information from the name of the potion, Angel still asked this witch who knew a lot about high-sequence potions.

"It's not the only way, but like the previous sequence, it is the most effective way to play. The 'Witch' path means disaster. This is the embodiment of the 'original' will. Ha, maybe we will face it soon. To a new 'ageless' witch..."

Laura replied with a sneer.

The original...the original witch? What she means is that a Sequence 0 of the potion path has the ability to affect the Beyonders of the entire path and the way they play?

This thought flashed through Angel's mind, and then he shook his head and replied:

"About this, you don't need to worry. Panatia has been dealt with by an angel from the Righteous God Church."

She did not say which church she was from, lest the other party guess her source of information.

Although, my source of information is myself...she added in her heart.

"Angel?" This news was obviously not what Laura had expected. Her lake-blue eyes widened in surprise, "...No wonder the Witch Sect's power in Backlund was almost wiped out. The one who presided over the situation The Witch of Pain disappeared, and even Triss who was next to Prince Edsac ran away in a hurry. I heard that the three major churches have a tacit understanding in this regard, and mutually restrict the Beyonders and Sealed Artifacts of this sequence from entering Backlund. , this should also be the reason why the 'Witch Cult' dares to implement the plan, but I didn't expect it to be easily destroyed by such an angel."

"Triss ran away? Wasn't she caught or killed?"

Angel asked immediately.

Could it be that the angel from the Goddess Church just snatched Triss's sapphire ring and didn't kill her?

"Yes, Triss appeared on the steam train heading west after the haze dissipated, but according to the Witch Sect's anti-tracking method, this is probably her cover-up. She may still be hiding in Backlund, using The Black Flame counter-divines and hides itself from the city's millions of people.

"And Prince Edsac, who originally imprisoned her, committed suicide because he was found to be 'harboring the witch with the intention of rebelling.' According to Vincent's information, the prince set fire to half of the Red Rose Manor, except for himself. , and several attendants died, including even the steward of Arbiter Sequence 5."

"As far as I know, this prince is not an extraordinary person, right?"

Angel asked rhetorically.

"Indeed, so his death was probably not a so-called 'suicide', but was silenced. I think you can guess who was behind it."

Being able to "silence" a prince is probably behind other forces in the royal family... As for the Witch Sect and the Aurora Society who are cooperating with them, the forces in Backlund are probably too late to protect themselves at this time, so how can they have time to deal with him? ?

Angel immediately understood Laura's hint, but she lacked specific understanding of the disputes between the royal family of the Loen Kingdom and could not judge which big figures were involved in cooperating with the cult, so the analysis could only end there.

"By the way, Miss Laura, I may leave Backlund in a few days. The time is not clear yet, maybe half a year, maybe more than a year."

After exchanging information and seeing that there was still some potion left on the mirror, Angel continued.

"Leaving Backlund... was it to avoid subsequent retaliation?" Laura nodded clearly, "Speaking of which, you have provided us with a lot of useful information, and it's time to give you some reward. You need money. Pounds, magical items, or some other reward?”

Angel was a little moved when she heard the gold pound, but what she lacked most at this time was not this, so she shook her head and said slowly:

"I'm not short of money for the time being, but if you can provide the tail tip of the two-tailed black snake, or the blood of the flower-faced bat, I would be grateful."

These two extraordinary materials are auxiliary materials for the "pain" witch's potion. At this moment, Angel proposed that in addition to actually needing them to prepare the potion, they also meant to test the opponent.

Sure enough, Laura immediately asked:

"The Witch of Pain...are you ready to be promoted to Sequence 5?"

Before Angel could answer, her eyes were dull for a moment, and then she immediately added:

"No...this is just auxiliary material. Are you an official Beyonder and belong to the three major churches?"
