Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 648 Heading to: Trier
"Riback, after I leave, you continue to keep in touch with other neighbors, just once or twice a week, send some small gifts and some congratulatory cards to maintain my impression in their hearts.

"The Veterans Club also helps me keep in touch, especially Mr. Sandel. If he asks, just tell me that I went to Trier and he will understand.

"Pay attention to Mr. Dantès who lives at 160 Burklund Street in the North District. Well, don't pay too much attention to him. Just pay attention to the young lady."

Riback nodded with an "I understand" look.

Angel looked at the housekeeper next to him, Ms. Kayla.

"Keira, I will give you another 500 pounds later. The furnishings at home need to be adjusted to adapt to the social season after June. We also need to prepare for the first ball of this mansion. The inventory of the wine cellar is due to There is already a lot missing in the gift giving, please fill it up as needed.”

Keira, who is in charge of the interior and finances of the mansion, replied:

"Okay, miss, do you need help inviting guests in advance?"

"No need for now. I'm not sure how long it will take to return from this trip. It could be as short as a week, just in time for the first round of dinners and dances in early June. If it's longer, it may be more than half a month. An early invitation may very well disappoint them. And return."

Angel replied.

Angel was lying lazily on the single sofa beside the balcony of the bedroom, twisting in an imageless manner, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

In addition to the dangers that Klein may face...

Soon, the light in the room became much dimmer. The surface of the dressing mirror first turned dark, and then the Rune characters written in silver light appeared:
"Beautiful mistress, your loyal and humble servant Arrodes awaits your dispatch."

The first time Angel heard this word was from the mouth of black cat Wensa. At this time, he couldn't help but frowned and asked:

I just like this way of asking each other and solving the negative effects of sealed objects... The corners of Angel's mouth raised slightly and he nodded:
"think."

She understood how much effort Miss Christine Theresa, who seemed to have just grown up, had made this month in order to enter the upper class society of Backlund. Unexpectedly, the social season was about to begin, and she had already left a good impression on her neighbors. However, the impressionable lady had to leave for a while due to personal matters and happened to miss the most important first week of June.

She pointed to the silver mirror she received from Archbishop Anthony. This dim silver mirror, which was several sizes smaller than the dressing mirror, was placed face up on the dressing table. It was difficult to see clearly in the darkened room. .

The thoughts that flashed through her mind made Angel's smile disappear from her face. She climbed up from the sofa, stepped on the soft carpet with her bare feet, walked around the bedroom a few times, and finally stopped by the dressing table, looking at the The dressing mirror reflected her upper body.

Looking at Miss Theresa's leaving figure, Keira couldn't help but think so.

"Okay," the silver-white words on the surface of the dressing mirror danced excitedly, appearing and disappearing constantly. "From a mystical perspective, the 'mirror' represents a special 'door'. Through such a door, one can enter the mirror. The world travels through various doors...and this mirror is a special door that leads to Trier in the Fourth Age."

"You mean traveling through time and going back to the Fourth Age?"

It's even faster than the communication potion. It seems to be locked underground in the Church of Steam. It's really free at ordinary times... Angel muttered secretly, and then said:

"I'm finally leaving Backlund. I no longer want to worry about what clothes to wear or what shoes to match every day. I don't have to worry about wearing the dress I wore last week and it will be regarded as a financial crisis... and I don't have to discuss it with those ladies. Which kind of cosmetics is better? Being asked whether it incorporates Intis's open style and chaotic relationship between men and women... As long as I walk out of here, I will be free..."

"Of course, it has some special features that are different from ordinary silver mirrors. Do you want to know?"

……

"Can you sense the mirror on the table?"

The annual Backlund social season begins here and lasts until the end of the year. It marks the return of the noble members of the House of Lords to the capital. On the weekend of the first week, these nobles will invite guests for intensive dinners and dances. If you are absent from this event, After a period of social interaction, it will be much more difficult to establish relationships with nobles.

Using his fingers to dip some light foundation, Angel drew a symbol on the mirror that was used to summon Arrodes, which was a mixture of secrets and voyeurism, and then waited quietly.

"Of course not. Dear hostess, even gods cannot do this. Only certain special methods can contact and understand the long history... But 'Trier of the Fourth Age' is a real place. However, it was sealed under the current Trier underground by some force, somewhere between illusion and reality.

Looking at her mistress's indifferent expression, Keira sighed inwardly.

Although she didn't show it, she must be very depressed...

"This city that was polluted and destroyed in the War of the Four Emperors cannot be entered with just the 'door' in your hand. It needs a matching 'key'. If you don't have the status of an angel, let alone enter. No matter how close you are, you may suffer from the bad problems of the 'man in the mirror'... You don't want to fight another self with the same abilities and sequence as you, right?"

I always felt that the last question was weird... Angel muttered, but she understood that it was Arrodes' rhetorical question, so she shook her head and said:

"Of course not."

You can only contact after becoming a Sequence 2, that is, an angel. This is consistent with what Wensa said, mutual verification, and high credibility. It seems that this time when going to Trier, try not to get close to the underground. It is best not to connect with the strange building. Don't go to the catacombs either... Thinking of the "man in the mirror" who almost killed him in the dream at the ruins of the God War, Angel was frightened for a while.

"Wonderful answer, then, what else do you want to know?" Silver-white traces continued to streak across the dressing mirror, like fireworks blooming, and a few words emerged again, using questions in advance to help Angel prepare for the subsequent conversation. .

"Can you attach yourself to this special mirror and leave Backlund with me?"

Angel thought carefully and asked the last question.

Arrods has demonstrated the prophecy and divination ability that is no less than that of a high-sequence fortune teller. If he can bring it with him, he will definitely be of great help in Trier's actions.

"Unfortunately, beautiful and powerful mistress, my body is strictly guarded by the Church of Steam. Through the spirit world, I can appear in mirrors everywhere in Backlund, but I cannot leave this city."

Arrodes showed a regretful expression in the mirror, but then he smiled like the rain had passed.

"However, this mirror is connected to the mirror world. Using its special characteristics, I can temporarily provide some help far away from the main body. This power needs to be accumulated over time. You can use it for five minutes every three days. If the distance is too far, the effect will be weaker."

Angel nodded, feeling overjoyed.

She didn't have high hopes for easily taking Arrods out of the city. She was just giving it a try. She didn't expect that this special silver mirror could communicate over long distances just like Klein's radio receiver. Although the time for Rhodes's body is limited, at the critical moment, maybe a few questions and answers can solve a lot of problems...

While she was thinking, two more lines of words appeared on the surface of the dressing mirror:
"The answer just now is a supplement to my question. You can ask another question."

Its "buy one get one free" "trick" is so skillful that it makes people feel distressed... The corners of Angel's mouth twitched and he asked again:
"Your master, will this operation go smoothly?"

She didn't need to specify what "action" it was, because Klein must have asked Arrods many times before deciding on the final plan.

The black mirror of the dressing mirror froze for a few seconds, and then a line of text slowly lit up:
"Everything will go well, wise mistress."

Phew...Angel breathed out gently and said with a smile:

"Thank you, I have no problem."

"Then, I wish you a smooth trip to Trier. Your pious servant Arrods is always waiting for your call."

The bedroom gradually lit up, and the mirror in front of Angel returned to normal, reflecting her still somewhat worried expression.

Two hours later, Angel, who had everything prepared, carried her suitcase and refused Riback's suggestion to bring a guard. The male and female servants, gardeners, coachmen and others led by the housekeeper Kayla said goodbye on both sides. Next, he left his mansion.

Taking a carriage, Angel boarded the steam train heading to Feneport City, the capital of Feneport, before noon, where he would transfer directly to Trier in Intis.

If I didn't have to keep entry and exit records, I could even use the mirror world to arrive within an hour instead of wasting two and a half days on the long journey... Entering his own independent room in the first-class carriage, Angel put his luggage , looked out the window and complained silently.

At this moment, she saw a familiar figure.

----

"Forsi, do you really not need to bring a companion? I know a few female bounty hunters who are pretty good at it, and the price isn't too high."

On the steamy platform, looking at his friend who had put on an Intis-style cashmere tight skirt, a beige coat, and boots in advance, Hugh Dilcha asked with a frown.

"It would be best if you could accompany me, otherwise I would rather be alone in case something happens, and I still have to protect the 'guard'... After all, I am already Sequence 7, Xio."

Forsi chuckled and replied, keeping his voice a little low to prevent certain words from being heard by other passengers.

After thinking about this "apprentice"'s ability to pass through walls and the specialness of the travel notebook in her hand, Xio curled her lips and said nothing.

Seeing Forsi boarding the luxurious first-class carriage with his suitcase in one hand and the women's round felt hat on his head in the other, Xio turned around and left the platform.

After struggling to walk out of the station against the crowd, she turned into a nearby alley and soon saw a slender figure wearing a hood and cloak.

"Your friend has left?" the man asked, his voice soft and pleasant, with a heart-stirring vibrato, "Then let's go back to the East District quickly. You promised to help me deal with the gang affairs. "

"Of course, it's not even noon yet, we have a lot of time..." Xio glanced at the other person and said with some hesitation, "Shel... Sherman."

Her tone changed, pronouncing the same name in a different style.
