Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 540 Falling from the sky
The smell of "disaster"?

The first word that came to Angel's mind was "Bansi".

She remembered the island and the strange port where the "disaster" spell was found, the foggy and windy nights, and the head without a body, the body without a head.

There was also the bloody cave on the top of the mountain, the "Storm Bishop" who used living people to initiate sacrifices, and finally the runes that sent him thousands of miles away to Trier.

According to Mr. Azik's subsequent investigation, all this was undoubtedly related to the smell of "disaster".

"Reminds you of 'Port Bansy', doesn't it?"

As if she understood everything she was thinking, Bernadette's blue eyes looked at Angel.

She guessed it... but it was easy to understand. The first time "Angelica Sage" appeared in the wanted poster was for killing a bishop of the Church of Storms, and this happened very rarely in Banxi. Easy to investigate. As a pirate king, Bernadette will most likely go to Bansi Port, which was razed to the ground by the Church of Storms, to investigate. With her high-sequence strength, which may even reach Sequence 3, she can smell the "sense" contained in it just like Mr. Azik. "Disaster" is not difficult...

Angel thought for a moment and nodded.

"My ability to destroy half of the 'Black Tulip' came from there."

After all, the "desperate" promotion ceremony requires a demigod to take a magic potion in despair. The sooner the materials are collected, the sooner preparations can be made for this as difficult as ascending to the sky.

Bernadette did not continue to explain, but changed the topic and talked about the potion ingredients.

……

"Then, I will send you to that island. It just so happens that we are going to pass through Zhongcheng Island and return to the Misty Sea."

No, I don't need this convenience... The corner of Angel's mouth twitched, and he walked cautiously towards the edge of the deck. He soon felt that the strong wind blowing over the edge was gradually increasing, which meant that the ship was falling faster and faster.

But the next second, it began to follow the laws of the real world, was pulled by gravity, and began to slowly fall.

Is it because the "Dawn" of "Mysterious Queen" is over there? Angel looked at Bernadette and saw that she didn't speak again, so he agreed to this arrangement.

Sure enough, "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette has reached the level of Sequence 3. As a pirate king, this is the reasonable height... The other three kings, such as "King of the Five Seas" Nast, "King of the Immortal" "Agaritu, is it also Sequence 3? It’s no wonder that a burst of laughter from the “Suicide Ship” almost caused all the members of the “Future Ship” to lose control...

They expanded silently, and soon formed a ship shape that was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, about a hundred meters long. Then, a three-masted sailboat with a black body and high sails appeared in the phosphorescence, illuminated by the crimson moon above the clouds. , like floating in the clouds.

Over Sorna Island, about a four-hour flight from Zhongcheng Island, wisps of green phosphorescence suddenly appeared amid thick clouds.

No, it's really floating. The "Queen Anne's Revenge" is freely falling thousands of meters above sea level!
As soon as she understood the current situation, she looked at Anne beside her, wondering whether the actual controller of the ghost ship was too happy to recognize the daughter of Russell and mistakenly appeared at the wrong height.

She has finished digesting the "Pain" potion at this time. If she can obtain the Sequence 4 potion as soon as possible, it will undoubtedly be more helpful for her subsequent promotion.

"We are now on Isla Sorna, which is directly above your destination. Rather than sending you to the shore, wouldn't it be more convenient to go directly this way?"

She took the initiative to confess the matter in order to obtain help from the knowledgeable "Queen of Mystery".

Angel nodded and no longer questioned.

Swah——

"But how do you determine this?" Angel asked.

"The Sequence 3 name of 'Secret Peeper' is called 'Master of Prophecy'. You can understand that I can 'predict' to a certain extent, or, in other words, 'spy on destiny'."

Angel on the deck just felt that the wriggling color blocks in the spiritual world faded away, and the clear night sky appeared in his field of vision, when he noticed that his feet were beginning to rise into the air, and the heart in his chest seemed to be floating upwards.

The surrounding night sky suddenly turned gray-white, and Angel felt that the air he breathed became moist.

"This power is different from any extraordinary ability I have ever seen. It may even contain some kind of high-level 'authority'. In your current state, it is not a good thing to know too much... But at least that Catalina I didn’t lie to you, the opportunity for your promotion is on that island.”

"After passing through the clouds, we will soon reach the ground." Annie still stood there, as if what fell to the ground was not her and her boat, but a flower of cotton. "I will disappear into the spirit world at a height of 100 meters. , just use 'lightness' to land."

Doesn't sound like a reliable solution...

Angel tried to look down, but was blown by the strong wind and could barely open his eyes. He had to struggle back to the center of the deck in a semi-weightless state, only to find Bernadette walking towards her, holding a bouquet of light bulbs in her hand. blond hair.

"Put this away, maybe it will be useful later."

She said, handing the hair bundle to Angel.

You have chestnut hair, and Annie has black hair. This hair cannot be mine, but when did you take away so much of my hair... Angel took the hair bundle and took a look, feeling more and more familiar, but the face He didn't dare to say anything to a Sequence 3 Beyonder, so he could only stuff it into his pocket.

"This is also the 'Master of Prophecy'..."

Before she finished speaking, her eyes lit up and green phosphorescent light flashed.

The "Queen Anne's Revenge" and Bernadette have disappeared into the night sky. The turbulence caused by the disappearance of the huge hull will rock Angel, who continues to fall.

"..." After swallowing the words she had not yet finished speaking, she immediately entered the "light" state, and her downward fall suddenly slowed down. Then she looked down and found that the dark ground was close at hand.

Fortunately, "lightness" does not slow down slowly, but makes her body extremely light, which can be blown up by a gust of wind. With the help of invisible threads, Angel slowed down to an acceptable level before landing, and landed on her feet firmly. Standing on this piece of grass, I avoided the ending of being smashed into pieces of the magic mirror.

"If I had used another Sequence 5 path, would I have fallen to death in this situation?"

Angel muttered, recalling all the ways he had seen in his mind, and suddenly realized that everyone seemed to have ways to avoid this possibility.

"Maybe the craftsmen will die here, but they might be able to come up with a lot of magical items to solve the problem."

Shaking her head, she no longer struggled with this problem. She looked around and found that the landing point was a piece of grass that was not very wide, surrounded by low shrubs, and there were scattered buildings in the distance, like a village.

Withdrawing his gaze and taking out the magic mirror, Angel decided to do a divination first.

"Mirror Mirror, tell me where the abnormal situation occurred on this island?"

She did not directly ask "the location of the black-striped shadow giant scorpion", a question that would probably not be answered, but asked in general terms.

Having just returned to reality from the spirit world above Isla Sorna, I have received corresponding information from Catalina and Annie, so the possibility of success is greater.

Sure enough, after the magic mirror was shrouded in gray fog for a brief period, a bird's-eye view appeared, from which one could see sparse low-rise houses, winding country roads, and surrounding plantations.

Just when Angel thought the divination would continue to point to a more specific location, the scene was interrupted.

"There is interference, but it's not strong...maybe I didn't get enough information?"

She frowned and put away the magic mirror, looking at the scattered buildings not far away.

There is the village in the divination.

"Go to the village at night and have a look, perform dream divination or directly use the 'Sleep' charm... But be careful about the presence of official extraordinary people."

Quickly deciding on a strategy, Angel left the grass where he landed, went around a bush, and soon arrived near the buildings.

But the initial investigation results surprised her.

The plantation looks like it has not been taken care of for a long time. The crops lack nutrition and the ground is overgrown with weeds. The buildings seen in the distance are all warehouses attached to the park. The fruits waiting to be shipped out here have long been rotten, and you can even smell a hint of fermented wine. taste.

Idling mills, smelly breweries, deserted houses... Angel walked past buildings one after another and quickly looked around this small village, but did not find any living people.

Not even a body.

"Abandoned plantations and villages, missing residents...why is this place even weirder than Bansi Port?"

Angel murmured, found a house, broke in directly, walked past the dining table with stinky food, went to the bedroom, picked out a piece of clothing, used the magic mirror again to divination, and found the location of the owner of the clothing.

It was a piece of land with extensive digging marks.

Looking at the soft soil and the used shovels and other tools around him, Angel could guess that the "owner" of the clothes was buried underground at this moment without even thinking about it.

"Could it be that a supernatural incident similar to that in Banxi Port happened here? Some villagers were killed, some fled here, and the official Beyonders cleaned up and buried the bodies before abandoning the village?"

Angel hesitated and walked around the soft ground a few times, and soon found some evidence such as blood stains and bullet casings, which confirmed his idea.

Because she was worried about digging up monsters such as "flying heads" and "headless living corpses", she did not try to dig up corpses. Instead, she searched the small village again, looking for more clues and the "starting point" of the incident.

Since Caterina, Bernadette, and even Anne had confirmed that there was something weird here, she chose to believe it.

……

Soon, Angel made a new discovery while searching abandoned houses one by one. She found a hidden basement under the mill that was rotating in the wind but extremely quiet inside.

The entrance here has been deliberately blown up. Judging from the traces of lightning burning around it, it is likely that the "Punishers" used spells to cause it, but the collapsed passage has the combination of "Black Flame" and "Flame Jump" As if there was a smooth road in front of Angel, she quickly passed through the rubble-blocked area and arrived at the secret room deep in the basement.

The lightless secret room echoed with the sound of mechanical creaking. The power from the windmill in the mill overhead was transmitted here, driving a piece of equipment with rough craftsmanship. It operated like a flour mill, but the outlet was not made of flour. It's light yellow, but dark red blood.

Although the surroundings of the secret room have been simply cleaned, one can still smell the smell of putrefaction and blood. Obviously, before being cleaned by the "Punisher", this place was a bloody sacrifice just like the cave on the top of Bansi Port. field, and even incorporated some "modern technology" to create a flesh and blood mill.

Sighing secretly, Angel looked at the ground in the center of the cleaned secret room, and sure enough she found a series of less obvious traces. After a simple piece of piecing together, she quickly confirmed that this was a group with the same origin as Banxi Port, but slightly different. There are different spell combinations.

"So...if I drip my blood on it now, it is very likely that I will go to the catacombs of Trier through the same ritual as when I was in Bansi Port, or another strange location?"

After confirming this possibility, Angel did not make any rash attempts. Instead, he returned to the ground, looked at the crimson moon shrouded by dark clouds above his head, and whispered the honorific name of Mr. Fool.
