Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 599 The Infatuated Witch
In this confrontation that lasted only a few seconds, Angel once again felt the complete suppression of the low position by the high position sequence of the same path.

She can do it, I can do it, and it is even more powerful, not to mention the impact that the application of the mirror world will have on combat after being promoted to demigod... Angel once again felt that he was able to fight against "Ms. Despair" Panati as a Sequence 6 How lucky Ya was to survive for even a minute, which also shows that the other party is indeed fighting with a playful mentality, rather than wanting to solve the problem quickly.

Looking at Triss, who looked even darker because her identity was revealed, Angel chuckled, gracefully walked to the bed and sat down, pointing to the only chair in the simple room.

Pulled and controlled by the silk thread, the witch with black hair and black skirt moved to the chair and was thrown into the chair in a rough way.

"Let's talk about your motives. Why are you spying on me?"

Seeing that she didn't continue to resist, Angel asked softly.

Triss' expression changed several times. She once again tried to use a mirror to stand in for her to escape. Unsurprisingly, she found that every mirror that her spirituality could spread to was controlled by the other party, as if separated by a thick barrier and unreachable. , only the two portable magic mirrors smeared with his own blood can be used as stand-in props, but the distance is of no use at all, and he will be captured in an instant.

"I was monitoring the dance party at 39 Berklund Street. There was a target I was planning to deal with, and I accidentally discovered... you."

She had no choice but to answer honestly.

"Your target is Congressman Maury Macht? Why are you targeting him?"

Angel asked, and at the same time, her eyes also reflected Triss's weak and huddled figure in front of her, bound by invisible silk threads, and used divination to confirm the authenticity of the other party's words.

"No, what I am spying on is William Sykes. He is the butler of a manor on the outskirts of the city. Today he went to the ball on behalf of his master to maintain his relationship with the MP. I wanted to kidnap him when he was leaving, but the timing was not very good. Okay...and your appearance makes me suspect that the 'Witch Sect' is also involved in this matter, so I want to confirm it through divination."

It's all the truth... Well, she shouldn't dare to hide a high-sequence extraordinary person standing in front of her, but what does the Witch Sect and me have to do with this matter? I'm not familiar with that William Sikes at all...

Angel thought for a moment and understood what Triss meant. She was probably regarded as a high-ranking witch because of her outstanding appearance. She was eager to blend into Backlund's upper class society, and her frequent contact with other businessmen and politicians was also regarded as a "witch sect" Triss was suspicious of the usual methods.

In a sense, her suspicion was correct... Angel chuckled secretly and continued:

"What secrets does William Sykes's estate hold that are worthy of you to contact or even kidnap him?"

"Manor? No, that's not the point. What I want is him, or rather, some information in his head...information about his last employer, Edsac Augustus."

When she mentioned this somewhat difficult-to-pronounce name, Triss's black eyes revealed a hint of inexplicable emotion.

"Edsac, the prince who committed suicide?"

Upon hearing this name, some memories of the other party immediately appeared in Angel's mind.

The first time she met Triss in Backlund was at the banquet held by the prince. At that time, Triss asked Angel for help in a victim attitude, but in the end she was defeated because of "0-08" and that Under the influence of a sapphire ring, she gave up her escape and followed the prince away.

Afterwards, Angel learned that Triss was forced to associate with the prince who did not have much power because of the arrangement of the "Witch Cult". Triss's thoughts were not clear, but the prince seemed to have fallen in love with her. A witch.

Unfortunately, during the Backlund Great Smog Incident, Edsac's collusion with the Witch Cult was exposed and he "committed suicide" out of fear of guilt, bringing an end to this sadistic relationship.

Of course, Angel learned from Laura that there might be a deeper reason for "suicide".

"Suicide? Do you think a prince, even if he loses power or makes a mistake, needs to end his life like this? Is it necessary to use a bullet that annihilates his soul? He is forced to do so!"

Sure enough, upon hearing Angel's rhetorical question, Triss's face became a little distorted. She struggled violently regardless of the tightly tied silk threads around her body.

"Of course I know that there is something fishy about his death, and it is related to the 'Witch Sect' and you. He might be a scapegoat introduced by some force to appease the anger of the three major churches and nobles. In addition, he might also be a scapegoat. It can cover up the truth of the great smog.”

Angel ignored her excitement and added calmly.

These are the collective wisdom of the Tarot Society. Of course, the ultimate purpose of the royal family and the military has not yet been discovered.

Maybe, he could get some new clues from Triss... Angel suddenly felt a sense of expectation.

At the same time, she was also puzzled by the other party's sudden and extremely violent mood. Judging from the ability of the "instigator", this was not false, but uncontrollable sentimentality and anger.

You didn't really fall in love with that unlucky prince in the process of getting along, right? Have you forgotten that your name was Tris and that you were once a man? You also said that you like women with beautiful faces and good figures. You even tried to trick me away in Tingen... Angel opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end Still gave up.

"Oh, I know what you are thinking. Sometimes I think I am crazy, but investigating this matter and avenging him have become the only meaning of my life." The anger on Triss's face subsided. It turned into a sad smile, which was different from the seductive expression she deliberately showed at the end of the battle. It was obviously coming from the heart.

Sure enough, she and Prince Edsac really... Angel thought of "Lieutenant General Disease" Tracy's feelings for Elaine, thought of Laura's feelings shown from time to time, and even thought of the arrival of the evil god's heir in Tingen City The gray-haired witch Mitis looked at her with resentment.

Wasn't it the same when I first learned about Klein's death...

Sighing secretly, Angel continued to ask:
"What are you going to do?"

Since Triss also intends to investigate the cause of Prince Edsac's death, she will inevitably come into contact with part of the truth about the Great Smog, which coincides with one of Angel and Klein's purposes. Angel was ready to hear her plans, offer some help, and see if he could get some new clues.

"William Sykes will be staying in Backlund City these days, and I am going to look for opportunities to have a 'chat' with him when he is alone. But according to my observations during this period, he should be a mid-level extraordinary Or, at least Sequence 6, if I still have magical items, I may not be able to solve the problem quietly.”

When she mentioned "chat," Triss inadvertently showed a sneer.

"I can provide some help if necessary, but I want a copy of any clues you get."

After using divination to confirm that the other party's words were true, Angel said.

"Help me? I thought the 'Witch Sect' was here to deal with me..." Triss's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly and quickly opened her mouth, "Are you from the 'other sect'?"

The other faction...she refers to the "witch family" mentioned by Katarina and Black Cat Wensa?
Angel remained calm, nodded slightly, and followed the other person's thinking to mislead him.

"Sure enough, the people of the 'Black Saint' were eliminated by the Righteous God Church after the great smog, so you took advantage of it and obstructed their mission... But it just so happens that you need me to be the bait and the vanguard, and I also need you. My only question is, is there any possibility of cooperation between you and the forces that killed Edsac?"

The corners of Triss' lips curled up, as if she wanted to smile, but in the end no additional expression appeared.

Cooperate? I don’t even know the name of the “Black Saint”... Angel cursed and answered ambiguously:
"Maybe not."

"Okay, I know you don't want to express your stance directly, but I can express my attitude first. As long as it helps my revenge, I can show all the available values..."

Triss was obviously not satisfied with Angel's reply, but she knew the absolute disadvantage she was currently at, so after hesitating for a moment, she agreed to share the information she had obtained.

At this moment, Angel felt that the "mirror double" left in the four-wheeled carriage was being awakened. One of his eyes became dark, and his vision seemed to be divided into two, with half of it becoming the double's vision. It happened to be Seeing Riback sitting opposite, he asked:
"Miss Teresa, according to my summary, you'd better respond to the invitations of the four guests today as soon as possible, and consider rejecting the others. Otherwise, your schedule next week will be very tight. You will have to attend three dances and a literary event. A salon, a play, and three scheduled masses..."

This dense schedule made her twitch her lips, and she controlled the "stand-in" to reply: "Tell me about the situation of those four people."

At the same time, on the other side of the simple bedroom, she spoke at the same time, asking Triss to provide a potion that could allow two-way communication. Different from Laura's brewing method that completely blocked the connection between the blood and the body, Triss directly used the potion. The silk was burned by black flames to create a blackened sticky thing, which was then handed over to her.

"I will contact you before taking action."

She maintains a certain amount of respect from beginning to end, is it because she is really afraid of death, or because she doesn't want to die before her revenge is successful?

"I hope you are really seeking revenge for that unfortunate prince, and not just using it as an excuse... Remember what you did in Tingen."

Angel took the charred sticky thing and said coldly. He threw the "communication potion" into the mirror space in front of her. His figure quickly became blurred and then dissipated. He returned to the past through the mirror world. On the carriage leaving the North District, the stand-in silently replaced the stand-in who couldn't stop nodding and commenting from time to time, ending the "dual-line operation".

It didn't last long, but it consumed a lot of spiritual energy. It seems that just being promoted to "Despair" is not enough for me to use this power for a long time.

But after you fully master the potion, you may be able to control more "substitutes", and even transfer power to the substitutes through the mirror world to fight...

As for Triss, she has committed many major crimes in Tingen, but she still has value at this time, and she can be used to step on mines, no matter what she investigates, or she is discovered by the real force that caused the great smog. , I can get a lot of useful information... I'm afraid she also knows the value of her own use, and will not be perfunctory. What's more, she didn't lie about her feelings for Prince Edsac...

Summarizing what he had just gained, Angel pretended to yawn, causing Riback, who was still reporting, to stop chattering so that his lady could rest for a while.

----

In a dilapidated apartment not far from Berklund Street, Triss was still staring at the place where Angel disappeared just now, frowning and murmuring:
"Are the rumors true? Is there really a faction in the sect that existed in the Fourth Age? But the 'Despair' witch just now feels familiar to me, and she seems to know me very well... Tingen City, could it be... "

She looked weak, but inside her eyes were extremely sharp and full of doubts.
