Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 580 Answers and More Questions
"Meow."

Wensa stretched his body and let out a low shout, trying to get through, but soon found that Angel was unmoved, so he stopped pretending and said directly:

"I didn't expect you to be promoted to a high sequence so quickly. I thought it would be at least a year later..."

"Speak the key."

Angel interrupted these pleasantries.

Of course, her tone was not as cold and ruthless as her words. After all, the black cat messenger in front of her also helped her for a fee when she hunted the Gazers, and judging from the fact that she could "compete for employment" with the headless messenger Reinette , at least possesses the strength of a demigod, it is not a rational approach to completely anger it.

"The point is, I'm evaluating whether to include you in our organization. Promoting to 'Despair' on your own is just the first step."

Wensa's tone no longer deliberately imitated the pronunciation of a cat, and he spoke word by word.

organize? Is it the "Witch Sect"? But from the conflict between me and Catalina, it should know that I can't join them... Angel thought for a moment, and was about to ask, Wensa continued:

"As an apology for what happened before, I can answer you three questions."

She asked subconsciously, but then she realized that she couldn't waste the question and swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"To be precise, most of the human trade is not completed by the Witch Cult. They are only responsible for covering up the whereabouts and the final 'Great Smog' to make the missing people reasonable. The main ones who cooperate with them are the Loen Army Certain figures from the party, but some members of the royal family also participated. The specific cooperation content was originally handled by 'Desperate Nightingale' Panatia. After she disappeared, the 'Black Saint' could not send other personnel, so it was handed over to Catalina, so only she knows.”

"The question time is over. If you want to know more information, wait until Backlund. Maybe you can meet Catalina and let her answer it in person."

"What is your specific relationship with Catalina?"

Angel couldn't help but ask.

Wensa replied lazily, but in the end he generously gave Angel another chance.

Sure enough, both the military and the royal family are involved. No wonder military personnel frequently appear in clues about human trafficking, and Edsac, as a prince, can be regarded as a scapegoat... But Panatia is only missing, not dead? Who is the "Black Saint"?

"'Immortal'? You should know the promotion ceremony, right? Is it possible for me to be promoted in the short term?"

This question involves Ince Zangwill, the Witch Cult and the truth about the Great Smog, and is what Angel is most concerned about at the moment.

"I thought you had already seen the clues from our eye color and hair color," the black cat Wensa's blue eyes looked at Angel, reminding her of several witches in an instant, "She and I have a direct blood relationship. ”

"So, you are actually..."

That "ageless" witch is also in Backlund? Oh, it said that Katarina took over Panatia's mission and continued to cooperate with the military and the royal family...

Are the black cats and the witch related by blood?
Angel's brain fell into a momentary stasis, but she immediately realized that the "cat" in front of her was probably a human being before leaving the real world and becoming a creature in the spirit world, or to be specific, it was Catalina Pellet's A certain heir... Judging from their family's experience, it is very likely that he is a son.

"It was you and your companions who boarded Tracy's ship first and attacked her. Catalina was just defending herself." Wensa defended his mother without hesitation, "Her purpose of helping you, I have already mentioned that it is because I see more hope in you...and this is closely related to your sequence. If you can become a real 'ageless' witch, you will have the opportunity to have an equal dialogue."

One question brought up more questions, and Angel couldn't help but ask again, but Wensa flicked his tail as if he was impatient and said:

I'm sorry... is it because it sent the message to Katarina without the consent of me, the contractor?

Angel thought about it and did not ask questions immediately. Instead, he summed up three important questions in his mind, and then asked:

I didn't think of it as a question in the first place... Taking a deep breath and remembering its previous answer in my heart, Angel slowly asked the last question:
"Who does the 'Witch Cult' cooperate with in its human trafficking, and what is the purpose behind it?"

But this also gave her a better understanding of the power of "aggregation". Even if she looked for a messenger in the spiritual world, she would always find a descendant of the Ageless Witch. It's no wonder that Catalina can easily find Wensa to send letters. They may have daily contact.

"The ritual is not 'necessary' for promotion. You have experienced it twice and you should have understood the key. This is not the last question, so continue."

"Second question, she first wanted to kill me and then helped me. What was her purpose?" Angel continued to ask.

Angel opened his mouth. He wanted to ask how he knew he was going to Backlund, but when he thought that the other party was a demigod witch cat who was closely connected with the spirit world and was proficient in divination, and was also a creature of the spirit world, he suddenly felt that this didn't count. Got a problem.

Seeing that she was speechless, Wensa raised his tail, turned around, and made a gesture of leaving, but turned back after a moment, looking at Angel with his blue eyes.

"If given the opportunity, would you like to join a less extreme 'Witch Cult', or 'Family'?" Join the Witch Cult? After the great smog, I'm afraid they and I will only have naked hatred and hostility... Angel chuckled lightly and was about to answer when she suddenly discovered that there was a word in Wensa's words that she had heard before: family.

She immediately recalled the conversation with Mobet in "Grossell's Travels". The other party mentioned that in the Fourth Age, the witches were not the "Witch Cult" that currently behaves in extreme ways, but were called "Witches" by the outside world. "Family" is an ordinary organization maintained by blood and marriage.

Could it be that Wensa was once one of them?
She looked intently at the table and found that the black cat had disappeared at some point.

It's running really fast. What is it trying to avoid? Is the so-called "family" a hidden branch of the Witch Cult that continues to this day in the Fourth Age? Where does the ageless witch Katarina stand?
The black cat Wensa answered a few questions and left more questions, which made Angel feel a little dizzy. She sighed softly and took out a piece of paper with the recipe for the "Eternal Age" witch's potion from a notebook. Stay on the last line.

"...Promotion ritual: after a long period of time, take the magic potion with a different mentality than your age."

"Lonzell's ashes have been buried. Sharon, Ian and Essinger have all contacted me. My contacts from the 'Sherlock' period have basically returned to my hands. Of course, if I want to enter Backlund in the short term, In the upper class, the experience of a butler who has served aristocrats is a must... Well, I will hire one tomorrow and ask him to help me find a mansion... Ha, a mansion."

While counting his few banknotes, Klein walked around the luxurious suite of a high-end hotel in the Hillston District, relieving his somewhat anxious mood.

He prefers to call it "fear of being close to home".

This is a normal reaction to returning to Backlund after half a year...

Suddenly, a soft whisper from a young woman came to Klein's mind. As if he had finally waited for something, he quickly returned to the bedroom, carefully built a spiritual wall, walked four steps backward, recited a familiar mantra, and entered The palace in the gray fog.

"Sure enough, it's Angel's message."

As expected, he saw the crimson stars belonging to the "Queen" expanding and contracting.

Spreading his spirituality, Klein soon heard Angel's low prayer.

"Dear Mr. Fool, please give the Holy Emblem of the Polluted Night that I have kept with you to Mr. World, and also quote the following words.

"The 'ageless' witch Katarina Pellet has probably arrived in Backlund, and the cooperation between the witch sect and the military will continue to be implemented by her. Although there are no organized sect members there, a Sequence 3 witch has I think you already know how strong it is, so be careful.

"After getting the Holy Emblem of the Night, ask Mr. Azik to clean up the pollution on your behalf. When this characteristic is returned to the church later, you can try to exchange it for the opportunity to read the Antigonus Family Notes, so that you don't have to break into Chanis Gate. Steal it."

Angel's figure with his head bowed in prayer disappeared from the gray mist, and a faint smile appeared on Klein's face.

Although he had the idea of ​​using Angel's relationship with the Goddess Church and Ms. Arianna to borrow Antigonus' notes before going to Backlund, he did not expect that the other party had already planned it in advance, and used precious The Night Watchman’s extraordinary characteristics can be exchanged.

This is the extraordinary characteristic of a demigod. As long as Mr. Azik smashes the holy symbol and removes the pollution, a Sequence 5 can enter a high sequence and become the main ingredient of the demigod's potion.

You know, Ince Zangwill used 0-08 to cause countless tragedies in Tingen after a long period of planning and waiting, provoking endless pursuit by the church power, and the purpose was just to obtain the ashes of Saint Selina. It’s just such a strength.

But she was willing to exchange it for the possibility of my promotion...

Klein's eyes slowly swept across the long bronze table. Next to the three "blasphemous cards" of Russell, which were neatly arranged and painted with different images, were the "parasite" gloves that Angel had sacrificed here. As well as the Holy Emblem of the Night that has never had a chance to clean up the contamination that was probably caused by the "Artificial Death".

The gloves, "Witch" and "Red Priest" cards were all sacrificed to "The Fool" by Angel before returning to the Northern Continent at the suggestion of Mr. Azik.

With Klein's ingenious arrangement, she was able to exchange these "contributions" for more convenient "permissions". Not only could she store dangerous items next to the Fool through sacrifices, but she could also accept gifts at any time when she needed to use gloves and playing cards. , it also comes with convenient blessings such as "Poseidon" and "Paper Angel".

This is also the reason why Angel can use the "Fool's Express" tonight.

"Oh, she must not have thought that I was giving it to myself..."

Klein chuckled, took the holy emblem that was extremely quiet on the gray mist, and suddenly glanced at the "Witch" card next to it.

As the spiritual energy was infused, portraits of the emperor continued to appear in the book that was slowly spread out in front of him, gradually transitioning from a cold-blooded assassin to a witch in female clothing, and finally stopping at the page of Sequence 3: "Immortality".

Looking at the ceremonial requirements for promotion, "The Fool" was speechless for a long time.
