Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 377 Boring Tarot Club

Laura's ability to guess this information so quickly did not surprise Angel.

She was promoted to "Happiness" less than two months ago. It was almost impossible to collect the formulas and materials for the next sequence in advance. The only way to be promoted was to directly use the extraordinary characteristics of the "Pain Witch" to replace the main ingredients of the potion. The only "painful" witch in Backlund disappeared after the angels of the Righteous God Church were dispatched. Laura could naturally think of where the characteristics of this extraordinary person ended up.

In the same way, Angel's true identity is also about to come out - the "painful" witch characteristics that fell into the hands of official extraordinary people will not be easily handed over to wild extraordinary people. Only those who have contributed to this great smog can it be possible Get it.

This also verified Angel's conjecture. Laura indeed knew the "Painful" potion formula and understood the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics.

As for the identity of the "official extraordinary person" being exposed, it would not be harmful to "Erin" who was about to leave Backlund, but it would actually make Laura worry about it.

Therefore, Angel just nodded pretending to be profound and did not answer.

"Oh, I have been guessing about your true identity, such as the witch who betrayed the sect and the avenger who has been lurking for many years. I didn't expect..." Laura smiled slightly and seemed to be indifferent to Angel's identity, but her eyes had become cold. , "You are lucky. I have both of these materials. Three days later, you contact me and Vincent and I will meet with you."

"The only thing I didn't expect was that you actually completed the 'Happiness' performance so quickly. I remember it was only two months since you got the formula from me. This made me a little curious about the people who cooperated with you in the performance. , is he a demigod?"

It's a pity that his sequence is not even as high as mine... Angel looked away guiltily.

But she specifically mentioned the hunter Vincent because she didn't want to meet alone? Maybe she is afraid of my official Beyonder status, or maybe she feels that my strength is no less than hers now...

And judging from Laura's attitude, she doesn't seem to like official Beyonders... Well, this is not a strange thing, most wild Beyonders are like this.

Angel guessed and continued to ask:

"What about you? You clearly know the formula of the potion and have collected the materials. Why don't you try to get promoted? You should have finished digesting it, right?"

"It's not that easy for me to continue to advance..."

Laura looked away and answered slowly.

For some reason, Angel felt that her expression was a little sad.

----

"Mr. Fool, and everyone, good afternoon."

In the palace above the gray fog, Miss Justice took the lead in greeting everyone as usual. Her voice was still soft, but it had lost its former ease.

"Thank you for saving Backlund again."

She stood up from the high-backed chair, faced the top of the long table, and bowed solemnly.

Angel sat between her and Mr. Fool, looking around the entire long table, and noticed that several Tarot Society members acted to varying degrees after hearing Justice's words.

Miss Justice thanked Mr. Fool. Perhaps the latter gave her corresponding tips before the great smog, allowing her to use Earl Hall's connections to inform all parties, especially the Church of the Goddess of the Night, to make appropriate responses... And she His tone was a little excited, was it because he knew the number of casualties caused by the smog? Although the newspaper has not reported it yet, given her status, it is not difficult to obtain first-hand information.

Although the Hanged Man across from him was overseas, he seemed to have learned about the smog. He leaned forward and expressed more interest than surprise. Mr. Sun made almost no body movements. He probably didn't know "Backlund" at all. meaning.

Miss Magic also lives in Backlund, and she expressed considerable shock. After all, Backlund officially claimed that the smog was only caused by the gradually deteriorating urban environment, and that plague and death were its by-products, and Justice The young lady’s words undoubtedly indicate that this large-scale death involves a deeper struggle, and even requires the help of Mr. Fool, a secretive and powerful existence.

As for Mr. World in the distance...

Angel looked at this member who rarely expressed his opinions. His face was hidden behind a hood and gray mist, his hands dropped under the table, and his body did not move at all, making it impossible to see any emotional changes. "My beloved and I only provided some negligible help," Mr. Fool's low, hollow voice came from the gray mist, "But perhaps, you can thank Miss 'Queen', who helped Backlund Made a lot of contributions.”

Angel, who was still secretly observing other people's reactions, suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were focused on her, and she involuntarily bent down to make herself look smaller, feeling a little confused and ashamed.

Mr. Fool, you said that your help is insignificant and my contribution is "a lot", which is a bit unbearable...

Audrey also looked at the Queen next to her with some curiosity. She was awarded the title for providing key information during the heavy haze, which allowed Earl Hall to promptly notify the church, notify the military and the royal family to take corresponding countermeasures. My elders unanimously praised it, and I also got a lot of follow-up investigation news from them.

The altar summoning the "True Creator" in the ruins on the eastern outskirts of the city, the long-prepared large-scale ceremony deep in the eastern suburbs, the "unfortunately caught fire" Red Rose Manor and the deceased prince are all traces of the struggle between the various parties behind the great smog. .

Unexpectedly, Miss Queen can already participate in events of this level... But she should be the most powerful person in the Tarot Club, which is reasonable...

Audrey thought about it and bowed to Angel, thanking her.

"Miss Queen, thank you for your efforts, otherwise Backlund may have died in the hundreds of thousands of people in this great smog."

Since she learned about the mutual "restraints" of the three major churches in Backlund from Laura, Angel did not tell how the angels from the Goddess Church came to the city and easily eliminated the disaster, but she did not want to take all the credit, so she just He shook his head slightly and did not answer.

But Miss Justice seemed to take her silence as acquiescence. After sitting back on the high-backed chair, she began to talk about the subsequent effects of the great smog.

"This unprecedented haze caused by a certain 'Witch of Despair' spread to the East District, Factory District, Dockside District, as well as parts of the South District and Bridge District. The toxic fog spread for more than an hour, and the subsequent plague has continued until now. It has not been completely blocked. Although the specific death and injury statistics have not yet been completed, as many as 8 corpses have been found, most of which are the elderly, children and civilians with original diseases, plus those who did not receive timely treatment in the future. Seriously ill patients, as well as some casualties that have not yet been discovered, I am afraid the death toll will exceed 10..."

"10 people...how can it compare to last time..."

Angel felt dizzy. She had deeply experienced the horror of the smog, and even almost died from the disease spread by Panatia. She was mentally prepared for the possible heavy casualties in the East District, but the information Miss Justice revealed still exceeded her. Worst case scenario.

The second person who was shocked was Derrick the Sun, who didn't even know where "Backlund" was.

This has far exceeded the entire population of Silver City where he is located. Derrick has been saddened by the death of his friends and worried about the disappearance of the entire exploration team, but he never thought that it would be several times larger than the entire population of Silver City. The scene of civilians dying within an hour, the mountains of corpses made him feel suffocated just in his mind.

Magician Forsi and Fool Klein, who was sitting behind the gray mist and acting indifferently, also felt a little heavy in their hearts. In Backlund, they had seen countless people waiting for treatment in the city in the past few days. The patients, the corpses pulled by freight carriages to the suburbs for burning, and the streets and shops that have become depressed can clearly feel the profound impact of the smog on the entire city.

Compared with the behavior and damage caused by the "Witch of Despair", the bloody sacrifices created by the various gentlemen and ladies of the Aurora Society seemed to be just clumsy jokes.

After everyone finished digesting this shocking news, Audrey continued:

"Fortunately, the upper echelons of the kingdom are aware of the possible consequences of the turmoil caused by this incident. The king has taken the initiative to make concessions to the parliament and the three major churches. Many environmental protection bills proposed by the Air Pollution Investigation Committee will be passed before the end of the year, which will affect workers The minimum guarantee and working hours limit will also be written into the latest law, and the Poor Law will make changes that are more beneficial to the people at the bottom as a way to appease them.

"Factory owners and bankers have taken the initiative to donate a large amount of property and materials to ensure that there will be no new casualties due to disease and cold this winter. As compensation, the seat limit in the House of Lords will be relaxed and will be obtained through donations rather than hereditary People with noble titles can also enter the House of Lords, and the property restrictions for elections will be adjusted accordingly, which is more beneficial to the emerging wealthy class.

"Due to the contributions made by the three major churches, especially the Church of the Goddess of Night, in this incident, the king will allow them to send personnel into the military to enhance their ability to handle extraordinary events. It is said that due to the newly appointed Archbishop of the Church of Storms, Raydar Valentine was busy handing over at the military camp and failed to dispel the deadly smog in time. They did not complain too much about the military positions that originally belonged to the Church of Storms being divided up by other churches. Moreover, they took advantage of the opportunity to enter the East District to rescue patients and hunt down members of the Witch Sect. , several once-abandoned Night Churches were reactivated, and corresponding clergy were stationed in the East District. The royal family and the military acquiesced in these actions."

After telling everyone what she had asked and what Susie had overheard in the conference room at home, Audrey looked at everyone expectantly, waiting for the Tarot Club members' comments.

The Hanged Man did not disappoint her. After pondering for a moment, he sneered in the depressed atmosphere and began to express his opinions.

　"This smile will keep you laughing for 12 hours."
