Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 453 I’m back

Although they hadn't seen each other for only a week, and there were even two messages and letters from messengers, Angel still pursed his lips in excitement when he saw Klein's thin, angular face again, and blinked a sour expression. He opened his eyes and took the initiative to open his arms to meet him.

"I am back."

She hugged Klein's shoulders and whispered in his ear. The moist air she breathed condensed into mist on the lenses of her gold-rimmed glasses, covering her dark brown eyes.

This enthusiasm made Klein a little uncomfortable. He struggled and twisted a few times, and then he hugged the other person with his backhand. The two stood in the middle of the living room, not separated for a long time.

"cough--"

An awkward cough came, and Angel woke up as if from a dream. He let go of his hands and felt a little hot on his face.

"Now that Angel is back here safely, I should continue to do my business."

Mr. Azik pressed the top hat on his head and bowed politely. No matter how much he recalled in his life, Mr. Luen's humor and fun were still reflected in him.

"The aura similar to the 'God of Death' reminds me of more things. Maybe I will focus on looking for clues near the Raging Sea in the future, but you must be careful, the power there is not accessible to the mid-level."

After saying that, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't worry, I didn't forget anything else this time."

The surrounding colors suddenly deepened and faded, and Azik's figure disappeared into the living room.

Only then did Angel understand the meaning of his last sentence. He glanced at Klein secretly. When he saw him looking over, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

But when they were interrupted by Mr. Azik, the two of them lost their tender thoughts. Moreover, this was not a reunion after a long separation. Angel quickly packed up his mood and sat on the single sofa near the balcony. Klein was told everything that happened.

"The senior deacon who failed to be promoted, is connected by nightmares, the small town day after day, the tourists who mistake copper mines for gold..."

Klein was also a little stunned. The other party's experience this week was not inferior to the many major events he participated in in Bayam.

Among them, the one who surprised him the most was Pierce, the senior deacon hidden in the mine.

There are only twenty-two senior deacons and archbishops in the Church of Night. They are almost at the top of the church besides the Pope. Even if they are not high-ranking, they are still popular candidates for high-ranking.

Of course, the former Ince Zangwill was one of them, but the trajectories of the two were completely different. Zangwill stole the level 0 sealed object, and in order to jump to the promotion path, he created the advent of the evil god Tingen. The incident killed hundreds of civilians, as well as the captain of Tingen's Nighthawks squad, Dunn Smith.

After going crazy, Pierce Turner struggled with his own desires and evil thoughts for half a year. Even when Angel cast the "disaster" spell at the end, he took the initiative to face the power of destruction and fulfilled his oath as a "guardian".

"So, you are going to send the extraordinary characteristics he left behind back to the temple?"

After listening to this somewhat tortuous and touching story, Klein sighed and turned to ask.

"Yes, this is his last wish, but now the extraordinary characteristics are combined with a Holy Emblem of Darkness, and it has become a contaminated sealed object. Since I am not sure of the negative effects, I temporarily sacrificed it to Mr. Fool for safekeeping. etc. Mr. Azik may be able to free up his hands and solve the pollution problem, so I might have a courier deliver it for me, or I might personally go back to the Northern Continent to return the saint's extraordinary characteristics."

Although strictly speaking, Pierce, who was not successfully promoted to Sequence 4, could not be called a "saint", Angel still called the senior deacon this way to show respect.

"What about you? A lot of things seem to have happened in Bayam this week?"

After telling about his wonderful journey, Angel asked with a smile on his face.

"It's nothing. It's just that the followers of 'Sea God' Kavitua launched a nearly suicidal offensive in Bayam. The god who once appeared in the form of a giant sea snake even set off a tsunami in an attempt to flood the entire island. Daniz and I were there We just witnessed a high-ranking showdown on the beach."

Klein's tone was calm, as if he was talking about what he had for breakfast, but he couldn't hide the anticipation at the corner of his eyes.

It wasn't until Angel pretended to be indifferent and didn't ask further questions that he couldn't help but continue:

"The blue-haired ghost ship captain and I also confirmed each other's identities and cooperated briefly. We left a good impression on the military and the Church of Storms when dealing with extreme Poseidon believers. Perhaps we can use these identities in the future. .”

"Night, steam, and now the military and the storm," Angel counted them one by one on his fingers. "Why don't you also add this 'Poseidon' Kavitua together, so that's exactly five."

"Including Mr. Fool, there are already five..." Klein murmured in a low voice, and then changed the subject, "Moreover, this Poseidon is not even as good as a saint from the Church of Storms. The heavy rains and tsunamis it caused were so great in the 'Sea King' The fanatics who had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos to attack the garrison and the Church of Storms quickly collapsed in front of Yan Coatman, and therefore lost their backup and were easily defeated."

Speaking of this Sequence 3 Cardinal of the Church of Storms, there was a glimmer of excitement in Klein's eyes. This was the envy of the high-ranking Extraordinary and the desire for his power to change the terrain and reverse the weather.

Seeing Klein's expression, Angel quietly put away his worries.

After seeing the tragic situation of Senior Deacon Pierce Turner who failed to be promoted, she had already wavered in her goal of pursuing power and becoming a demigod. Even after digesting the Sequence 5 potion and collecting all the materials to configure "Despair" , she still has to face the most critical hurdle: the promotion ceremony.

As long as you are a little careless and fail to challenge the demigods during promotion, dying on the spot is probably the best outcome.

But when I think of Captain Dunn and other victims who died in the God's Fall tragedy in Tingen City, of the more than 100,000 people struggling in the Backlund smog, and of the impunity of Ince Zangwill, they are still shrouded in fog. The mastermind behind the great smog...

...and Klein, who is also determined to seek revenge and is seizing every opportunity to improve his strength.

Angel asked herself, no matter how many difficulties she faced, she could not stop her current pace.

"what happened?"

When a soft questioning voice came to her ears, she gathered her thoughts and raised her eyebrows to look at Klein who looked worried in front of her.

"I just thought about Pierce's... ending. He had no relatives or friends worthy of trust. After his death, he only had extraordinary characteristics left to the church and a reminder to future generations. This made me..."

Before Angel could finish her words, she was hugged tightly by Klein. Her arms were tied to her side and pressed close to her body, giving her a sense of protected security even as she lost her freedom of movement.

"Don't worry, at least we will remember each other." Klein said in her ear.

Yes, what am I worried about? I will remember him, and he will remember me... The corners of Angel's mouth turned up, and he gently opened his arms and wrapped them around Klein's waist.

"I……"

boom--

The unlocked door was opened, and "Fire Flame" Daniz walked in with disguised black hair. He winked and applied the makeup paint on his face to cover his appearance more evenly. While saying loudly:

"Why aren't you ready yet? We made an appointment yesterday to go to the 'Red Theater' together this evening..."

Only then did he realize that Gehrman Sparrow was not the only one in the living room. Angelica, who had disappeared for a week and was busy with important matters on Zhongcheng Island thousands of miles away, was also standing.

It is said that Angelica Sage single-handedly eliminated an entire pirate ship of "Vice Admiral Disease", and the bounty rose to 8000 pounds!

Feeling the two people's eyes looking at him without emotion, Daniz tugged on the wig on his head, an awkward smile appeared on his disguised face, he laughed twice, and said while stepping back:

"Heh, heh, I seem to have remembered wrongly. I made an appointment with that person downstairs..."

Bang, he closed the door with his backhand, and ran downstairs without caring about the 6000-pound reward he was carrying.

In the living room, which suddenly became quiet and seemed to be blown by a cold wind, Angel looked at Klein expressionlessly and spoke after a moment:

"Red Theater?"

"If I say that Daniz and I are going there to look for clues about the first mate of 'Admiral Blood', you..."

"I believe."

Angel interrupted him, nodded and replied.

"But, I'm going to check it out."

"what?"

……

Bang, bang...

Listening to several muffled sounds coming from upstairs, Daniz, who had already sneaked to the first floor, shrank his neck. He felt as if he had intensified the conflict between the man and woman on the third floor because he failed to speak clearly.

He not only hoped that the two shitty adventurers who teased him with words and actions all day long would differentiate themselves and decide life and death, but he also didn't want to lose important combat power when dealing with "Blood Admiral" Senior, wearing a wig. He stood blankly at the door of the "Azure Wind" hotel, not moving for a long time.

Backlund, the secret office beneath St. Samuel's Church.

Only a few gas lamps were lit in the spacious room, leaving most of the places shrouded in darkness. However, the "Red Gloves" and Nighthawks deacons who were either walking through it or sitting at the table reading documents seemed not to be affected at all. Influence.

This is the distribution center for information reported by the Church of the Night from various places. After classification, most of them will be assigned to dedicated teams to investigate clues and perform tasks, while the remaining files are archived and awaiting review.

"Byam's telegram, the 'Sea King' Yan Cotman of the Church of Storms had a conflict with the local primitive belief god 'Poseidon', and suppressed the other party in a confrontation that lasted for several days. The local garrison vigorously searched for Poseidon's Fanatic believers..."

"Leave it to the team in Pulitzer Harbor. They have informants in the Rhoad Islands."

"Tingen Diocese reported that the two family members of the deceased Nighthawks were transferred to Backlund Diocese for continued protection. Well, they live in the North District, Kleewood Street, near the church."

"Al Hassan's team is responsible for the key protection targets in the northern district. Let them pay attention."

"Application from Enmat Port. A fraudster who lied about being favored by 'The Fool' was killed by a bolt of lightning after reciting the name 'The Fool' while committing fraud. Clement applied for access to the 'Fool' related information. files."

"Isn't Lord Sost's team investigating the case of 'The Fool' and the Tarot Card Ceremony? Pass it over to them."

……

Messages circulated among the Nighthawks and were quickly assigned to the appropriate people, until another message was picked up, causing the young "Red Glove" in charge of the distribution to frown.

After confirming it twice, he snorted coldly and crumpled the telegram into a ball. However, after thinking that this was not in accordance with the procedure, he spread out the wrinkled paper, flattened it, and stuffed it into a message with "Invalid Message" written on it. into the document bag and threw it aside.

"what is that?"

Another deacon next to him asked. He was temporarily busy with his work and was looking for a topic rather boredly.

"The Rhoad Islands transferred it to Pulitzer, and then to Backlund's report information, saying..." The red glove was halfway through speaking, and when he saw the senior deacon on duty this month walking by, he quickly lowered his voice, "... …It is said that a senior deacon died near Zhongnan Island, far away from the northern continent, and he will return the items left behind at the right time.”

"Oh, if the name were changed, maybe we would investigate, but he actually spread rumors about His Excellency St. Pierce..."

The senior deacon behind him looked around at the busy scene in the office, nodded with satisfaction, walked out of the room, and stepped on the winding stairs back to the ground.

The senior deacon, who was not tall, had short dark brown hair, and was about forty years old, stopped until all the conversations disappeared.

A faint smile appeared on his face.
