Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 379

Angel has not seen anyone selling the Sequence 5 potion formula yet, but judging from the fact that the Sequence 6 formula costs about 2000 pounds, the price of a higher-level formula may not be less than 5000 pounds, and it may be expensive but not available in the market.

As for the main materials of the potion, the two pieces together cost about 8000 pounds, and the extraordinary properties that can replace them cost the same.

Having watched "Card of Blasphemy" and leaving behind the "Pain" extraordinary characteristic that was re-separated and polluted after the Great Smog, it was equivalent to helping Angel save the 13000 pounds needed for promotion, and she only needed to prepare auxiliary materials. ,as well as……

"I was tied to the stake and burned for a full quarter of an hour, and I couldn't use a substitute... Can I use the frost ability to reduce the damage of the fire?"

Angel was thinking secretly, and her first reaction was to avoid the dangers of the promotion ceremony through some methods. She knew a little about medical knowledge and knew that a normal person might go into shock due to severe pain, let alone being burned for a quarter of an hour, even for a minute or two. Or inhaling too much hot air and smoke can burn your lungs and die from suffocation.

In the middle and low sequences, the bodies of extraordinary people are not much stronger than ordinary people. Their strength may be several times that of ordinary people. Their speed and reaction ability have been enhanced by magic potions more than once, but they will also be killed by bullets, knives and daggers, and burned by fire. I couldn't hold on for a few more minutes.

Not to mention the severe pain caused by the flames burning your skin.

I'm afraid it will be even greater than the pain she endured when she contracted a serious illness in the smog and was on the verge of losing control...

Ok?

She suddenly realized that the reason why she could be successfully promoted without the support of supporting materials and promotion rituals due to the extraordinary properties of "Pain" at that time was probably because of the severe pain.

The piercing pain that spread all over her body pulled her spirit body that left her body back into her body after taking the extraordinary properties, avoiding the worst result of "the spirit body drifting away and the body losing control".

Although after the haze calmed down, she still couldn't stop the mutation of her body, and in the end she could only plead with the angel lady to kill herself, but the "promotion" itself should be considered a success.

In this process, severe pain undoubtedly played a key role, and the ritual mentioned in the potion formula may have a similar effect.

After understanding the role of the promotion ceremony, Angel gave up the idea of ​​"taking tricks". Even if he used his frost ability to reduce the harm of fire, he even asked for the help of other extraordinary people and used certain magical items to survive the 15 minutes of flame burning "without injury". , it will only bring a higher probability of failure, and even turn into an out-of-control monster on the spot.

Of course, the promotion ceremony only required enduring corresponding pain, rather than making the dead take Sequence 5 potions. If the pain could not be avoided, she still had ways to avoid being burned alive.

Touching the "Rose Necklace" on his chest, Angel had a complete plan for the promotion ceremony. As long as Laura gave her the blood of the flower-faced bat and the tail tip of the two-tailed black snake, she could prepare the potion.

While waiting for Sharon and Laura, Angel was not idle. She took the time to go back to the chaotic East End and found Sherman.

The latter was working with Hugh Dilcha and a group of young people they had assembled to maintain order in the neighborhood, drive away vagrants who tried to fish in troubled waters, steal or even rob, and organized the distribution of disaster relief materials provided by the Goddess Church. They were so busy that they even forgot about their extraordinary the identity of the person.

When Angel arrived at Sherman's apartment, he was walking out of his home carrying two wooden boxes with the Holy Emblem of the Night printed on them, followed by three wooden boxes that moved on their own. Angel walked to the side with some confusion, and then realized that they were Miss Hugh is helping to carry it.

Seeing her arrival, Sherman handed the box to someone else, whispered a few words to Hugh, and then came to the corner of the street.

"Miss Eileen, I'm glad that you were not harmed in the heavy smog, but the East District was severely affected. I have been busy these days and have no chance to contact you."

Sherman said softly. During this time, he was acting together with the carefree bounty hunter. He was influenced by the other party's style and was no longer shy as before. The change in his identity from an ordinary person to an extraordinary person also made him feel inside. He exudes a sense of confidence and is completely different from when Angel first saw him.

"It's okay, the sect itself has no fixed contact hours, and..."

Angel wanted to say that the Witch Cult had been eliminated from Backlund, and there should be no chance to come back in the short term, but after careful consideration, he still did not tell Sherman the news, which made him think that his online situation had not improved...

"And I will be leaving Backlund soon. I'm afraid you won't be able to contact me for a while."

"Is it because of another 'mission'?"

Sherman asked curiously.

"That's right," Angel nodded, "I have another way to deal with your subsequent promotion and the provision of potions. Someone else will contact you by then, so just think of it as... you have a new 'boss' for the time being. ”

She had made a decision before she came to give Sherman's contact information to Laura. On the one hand, she could let this happy witch, who although her private life was a bit "chaotic", but had the same attitude towards the witch sect as herself, help Sherman. Preventing him from going astray will also pave the way for this assassin's subsequent promotion, lest he return to Backlund after a while and he will still be at Sequence 9.

As for whether Sherman can get the formula of "Instigator" from Laura and whether he can find channels to obtain the potion materials, it depends on him.

I believe that with new motivation, this assassin will definitely work harder...

Angel smiled secretly as he looked at a pair of sisters peeking out from another apartment.

————   North District, underground of St. Samuel’s Church.

Archbishop Anthony Stevenson slowly walked into a large conference room. The night watchers who were busy inside stopped their work and saluted the head of the diocese.

"Any new clues?"

He asked as he glanced at the papers and documents scattered on the conference table.

"Your Excellency Archbishop, there are some new developments on both sides," a deacon approached with a document and reported clearly, "over there at the ruins in the suburbs, we restored part of the scene with the help of '2-155', a 'magician' 'Or a higher-order Beyonder used magical items filled with unknown curses to destroy the rituals of the Aurora Society, and then the Aurora Society's envoy chased him and left the ruins, whereabouts are unknown, because there were a large number of innocent souls at the scene, which interfered'2- 155' effect, the identity of this magician cannot be determined yet."

"There are three altars at the ceremony site in the East District. The body of a female Beyonder was found next to the largest one. There were no external injuries, the cause of death was unknown, and the Beyonder characteristics were missing. The hosts of the other two altars had already fled the scene. , they should all be members of the witch sect. Except for the traces of the cursed black flame, all other clues have been destroyed. And on the battlefield on the street where the two witches were suspected of fighting each other, except for five shell casings of special ammunition, there were no Any discovery, divination revealed that both witches are alive, but they cannot be located and their status cannot be confirmed.”

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, this is this kind of ammunition." Another Nighthawk stepped forward and showed an unfired "Storm Gathering" to Saint Anthony. "It was originally handed over by the Tingen team after it was discovered in an extraordinary incident. To the Holy Church, the imitations are now used by the Backlund team and part of the Red Gloves team, but there are also a small amount circulating among underground gatherings, so it is impossible to determine the specific users."

"So, there isn't really much new development?"

Anthony Stevenson asked rhetorically. He was not angry because the investigation was indeed very difficult. Both the Aurora Society and the Witch Sect were cults with a long history. They were proficient in anti-divination and anti-tracking. The three major churches had already In Backlund, several Aurora Society strongholds were destroyed, and many upper-level people who might have had contact with the Witch Sect were secretly investigated, but there were no more clues about the day of the Great Smog.

Moreover, having personally unsealed the sealed object "0-17", he knew very well that a large part of these "unknown destination" and "unknown cause of death" conclusions were caused by the church itself. Due to confidentiality regulations, he could not explain clearly. , can only "pretend to be stupid" to a certain extent.

"In addition, we also received an anonymous report letter, which reported two members of the Witch Cult hiding in Backlund. The one named 'Triss' has been confirmed to be Edsac. The mysterious woman next to the prince also disappeared after the great smog; the other 'Severia Langdon' was the widow of Baron Langdon. She also fled Backlund after the incident. The servants in the house knew nothing about it, and even just thought that she had attended some aristocratic party and stayed out overnight."

The deacon who reported it said.

"The strangest thing is that the latter left a letter, leaving the property she left in Backlund, as well as other factories and land inherited from Baron Langdon, to her only relative, niece Eileen Watson , since the letter came with a token and was stamped with a private seal, the baron's family's lawyer was already handling these procedures. Because the baroness had no illegal record except for her unscrupulous private life, the police were unable to prevent the transfer of property. ."

"Eileen Watson..." The archbishop ignored the Baron family's property issues, but silently recited the name and recalled the relevant information in his mind, "Is she also a member of the Witch Cult?"

"According to our information, she is a 'divineer' who only appeared in Backlund three months ago. She has participated in many noble balls and salons, is friends with Earl Hall's daughter, and has been in the Hills. During the attack on the Aurora Order in the Dun District, we conducted a dream review on her and found no more problems. But there must be a certain reason why Servilia left all her property to this woman..."

The deacon also looked a little troubled. After investigation, the two names on the report letter were indeed members of the "Witch Cult", but neither one was caught. And the other target, Eileen Watson, found no problem. Exploration on behalf of this direction has also encountered difficulties.

"Earl Hall...who conducted the review of her dreams?"

The archbishop frowned and asked.

"Captain Sost of the Red Gloves Team, he is..."

"Requiem Master, I know," the archbishop interrupted the deacon's speech, "In this way, you find this Eileen Watson and conduct a new review. I have a hunch that she has the clues we need."

"I'll do the review myself."

He added another sentence.

----

At the same time, the Backlund Steam Train Station was shrouded in thick fog.

Angel, who has regained her original appearance, is wearing a thick and warm gray dress and a round-brimmed lady's hat. She uses black gauze to cover most of her face, making her appearance blurry and difficult to identify.

"Our train has arrived, let's go."

She said to Klein beside her.

The latter nodded slightly, lifted the suitcase at his feet, and finally looked back at the city in the mist.

"Goodbye, Backlund, goodbye, Irene and Sherlock."

He pressed the brim of his hat and whispered.
