Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 645 The box half a year ago
In the dim underground, the saint's surroundings seemed to be absorbing not enough light, which made Angel's vision dim, and he even felt a sense of fear and trembling in his heart involuntarily, as if he was facing an unknown existence.

Worried that the high-sequence Beyonder would not understand the situation and take action directly, Angel immediately displayed the "Secret Holy Emblem" on his wrist.

But Archbishop Anthony's deep eyes only glanced at him lightly, then nodded and said:

"Come with me."

It seemed that he had known that I would come... Angel took back the Holy Emblem and silently followed the archbishop, passed the secret door, and continued walking underground. During the process, he met a priest hiding in the shadows around the corner. The latter saw It was not surprising that Anthony brought an outsider with him, he just drew a crimson moon on his chest and said hello.

After returning the same courtesy, Angel and the Archbishop entered a spacious office. There were only a few candles lit here. The overall environment was dark. The bookshelves on both sides were filled with various church classics and theological works accumulated over thousands of years. It exudes a unique smell of old books, and the desk in the back is relatively neat. There is a wooden box on the table, and its shadow is constantly shaking in the candlelight.

"Your Excellency, Shadow of the Goddess, after solving the problem of the 'man in the mirror', I thought you would come over immediately, but I didn't expect that you have waited until now."

Standing at the table, the Archbishop looked sideways at Angel and said in a deep voice.

If it weren't for Will Asceptin's suggestion, I wouldn't want to come to see you at all, to meet an archbishop who is at least Sequence 4, and probably even Sequence 3... Angel muttered secretly, but with a smile on his face, he replied:

"I will be going to Trier in Intis in the near future to continue to trace the root cause of the 'Man in the Mirror' problem. I am here to seek some advice and help."

Angel immediately thought of the name, and at the same time recalled a series of incidents he encountered after hiring a detective to investigate the threat to Lily before leaving Backlund half a year ago.

It was the ambassador who was assassinated by Mr. "Shepherd" A... But wasn't Sherick Madan, Lily Granger's classmate, the Intis who mysteriously disappeared after leaving a box at her place?

"But actually, there is this mirror inside?" Angel frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with me going to Trier?"

what is this?
Angel took it doubtfully and found that the box was unexpectedly light. She could hold it up easily with one hand. With the other hand, she opened the uncomplicated buckle and looked inside the box.

"This is also something I am confused about. If necessary, I am even willing to let you bring '1-63'. I believe that you have the ability to deal with its negative effects and use it safely... But Ms. Arianna specifically stated that, let You go to Trier with this box and the silver mirror inside."

Maybe we can get some activity funds, or lend a suitable sealed item?
Angel couldn't help but guess.

There was only a small mirror inside. It was not the popular glass mirror now, but a classic silver mirror. The surface was weathered and not smooth. It could not even reflect enough light in the dim candlelight, making it look a bit dark.

"No, it's just an ordinary silver mirror, at least in our hands," Anthony smiled and shook his head, "Last September, the Ambassador of Intis to Backlund, Backlund Jean Madan, was assassinated by the Aurora Society. He died in his embassy. At the same time, a technical college student named Sherik Madan disappeared, leaving only this box. "

Anthony's answer surprised Angel.

She actually didn't know what kind of help the other party could provide, but since a "Snake of Destiny" said this, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, he already knew the sequence of my potion, but he didn't know my true identity. Otherwise, he would have mentioned Lily Granger instead of just passing by... Angel thought, closed the lid of the wooden box, and prepared to draw a potion. It’s time to ask Arrods, it’s also a silver mirror, it should be able to see some clues?
Seeing that Angel no longer had any doubts, the Archbishop took out a piece of paper from his robe pocket, handed it to her, and said:
"In addition, this is the address of an informant developed by the Nighthawks in Trier, as well as the password to 'activate' him. After you arrive, you can seek his help if necessary. If the operation fails, you are accidentally exposed to In the sight of official extraordinary people, you can confess that you are a member of the Goddess Church, so at least your life will not be in danger, and we will find a way to exchange you."

She subconsciously wanted to activate the mirror to see if she could connect to the mirror world where St. Samuel's Church is located, but in the end she resisted the urge, looked at Anthony, and asked:
"Is this a sealed artifact?"

Upon hearing such a "spy war" instruction, Angel couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and looked at the content on the paper:
"District 13, 46 Honey Badger Street, Danio Brown, 'The Night is Watching You'."

Sure enough, Anthony's subsequent words confirmed this:
"In fact, after our investigation, Sherrick was the illegitimate son of Backlund in Backlund. However, because he could not obtain the status, he was always raised as a nephew. He moved around several times before settling here... After he disappeared, the box It was left in the hands of a family member of a Nighthawk. Intis spies were very interested in it and tried to steal it several times. In order to prevent this innocent person from being affected, we took back the box and announced that it was empty. "

Archbishop Anthony nodded clearly, turned around, picked up the wooden box on the table, and handed it to Angel:
"Then take it with you."

The latter sentence should be the secret code to contact this informant. In Trier, no one would say this to him except fellow believers of the goddess... But compared to the military's "non-recognition", the church As expected, they pay more attention to the safety of personnel internally. Even if the purpose of infiltrating into the area where the Eternal Sun Church and Steam Church are exposed, they must protect their own people... Angel wrote down the content, rubbed a black flame in his hand, and burned the note into ash.

At this moment, she felt a cold and deep feeling extending from the ground, drowning her like a tide.

The invisible and strong aura was just like the darkness she felt when she saw Archbishop Anthony for the first time, making people tremble and fearful. At this time, Angel even wanted to activate the mirror double and immediately escape from the underground of St. Samuel's Church without any trace of life. No will to resist. But as Anthony looked around, the tide of darkness immediately receded, as if it had never existed.

"Try not to use this kind of power inside the church," the Archbishop said slowly, still with a faint smile on his face. "The seal inside Chanis Gate is very sensitive to all unfamiliar forces. Of course, it should remember it now. Live now."

Remember me, this power is alive?
Angel thought of the Chanis Gate under the St. Selina Church in Tingen City. Its interior was sealed by the ashes of St. Selina. As the core of the seal, the latter possessed the power of a saint, and therefore became Ince. Zangwill's goal.

But the core of the seal here is probably the legacy of a certain angel after his death, and may even be directly the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 2. No wonder there are no guards along the way. This power alone can resist the attack of many high-sequence extraordinary people. Attacked...

Angel thought about it and no longer tried to use his extraordinary abilities. Instead, accompanied by the archbishop, he returned to the secret door above and left St. Samuel's Church through another passage.

After returning home, Angel did not delay and immediately summoned the black cat Wensa. After the witch cat with blue eyes landed lightly on the carpet, he asked:
"I'm going to Trier soon. Do you have anything to say about the 'Witch Cult' over there?"

Her "you" refers to Wensa's so-called "witch family", those aliens in the witch sect.

In fact, her knowledge of the "Witch Family", except for some historical knowledge from the Fourth Age noble Mobet Zoroaster in "Grossell's Travels", all comes from the black man in front of her. Cat, she wasn't even sure if there were less evil witches like this in the Fifth Age.

"Where are you going to find the power behind 'Man in the Mirror'?"

Wensa did not answer Angel's question, but asked rhetorically.

"Yes, this is my mission and my own wish."

Angel replied.

In addition to the requirements of "Goddess Sword" Sesima and Ms. Arianna, she also wanted to find out the true source of the power in her body. Arrodes' divination and Mr. Azik's exploration all showed that Trier The underground has a power similar to her "disaster" spell, and she has to go there no matter what.

"The person in charge of the Witch Sect in Trier is the 'Black Saint' Clarice. As long as you don't meet her directly, with your strength, no other Witch Sect person in that city can pose a threat to you. Prerequisite Yes, don’t get close to the Quaternary, Trier.”

The black cat stared at Angel with its round eyes, mouthing human words, and answered in a strange tone.

In this way, the Black Saint is probably the "ageless" witch in Sequence 3, which is also consistent with her title being the same as Katarina's "White Saint". In addition, Trier even has a There are no demigod-level witches, so Wensa felt that I would not be threatened by them... But wasn't Trier in the Fourth Age completely destroyed in the "War of the Four Emperors"? Could it be that Windsa meant for me to stay away from the underground, near the ruins of Trier that were covered by New Trier?

Angel thought about it, then took out the dim silver mirror from the wooden box given to her by Archbishop Anthony, and continued to ask:
"This mirror also comes from Intis. Is it related to the Witch Sect and the 'Man in the Mirror'?"

The black cat crawled on the carpet and approached, pressing its front paws on the surface of the silver mirror, as if testing its strength, and answered after a moment:
"It itself does not contain special power... but I have seen similar silver mirrors. In some special areas, it can lead to the mirror world, an independent and fixed mirror world."

Therefore, this is equivalent to a "key" that is only useful under certain circumstances. No wonder even the archbishop can't see its abnormality. Before stimulating the power, it is just an ordinary mirror, and he just doesn't know where the corresponding area is. Where... Angel carefully put away the silver mirror and saw the black cat spinning around on the carpet impatiently, so he made one last request:
"While I'm not in Backlund, can you help watch over Triss who escaped from the 'Lady of Despair'? I gave her your summoning spell. Once she uses it, you should be able to lock her Position, I feel that she has a certain tendency to 'self-destruct' and may do something irrational and harm other innocent people."

To her surprise, Wensa, who was not very interested in Triss before, answered very simply:

"We will take a fancy to her without you asking. After all, she is the vessel that 'Original' likes. She also has a special purpose for us."

For some reason, the black cat Wensa's lake-blue eyes were extremely sharp at this time.

Flashes of deep red flashed, and the members of the Tarot Society appeared on their high-backed chairs. With "Justice" Audrey's cheerful greetings, the new week's meeting began.
