Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 677 The approaching truth

"... Arrodes told me that you have successfully obtained the Seer Path Sequence 4, the magician's potion formula early this morning. It does not seem to be recorded in the Antigonus Family Notes? I look forward to you Share what you learned from this exploration, if it doesn't involve some deep secret.

"I have also completed all the planned plans in Trier. The smuggling business of the retired soldiers of the Kingdom of Loen will be carried out through the channels of the Sauron family, and the 'Man in the Mirror' also suffered a major blow because the lurking personnel were discovered. , more information may have to wait for the 'Machine Heart' to share it with the Nighthawks.

"During this period, I met an 'Iron-Blooded Knight' from the Sauron family, but he has been replaced by the 'Man in the Mirror'. Even the ceremony for promotion to demigod was done by the Man in the Mirror. In a sense, To put it bluntly, his substitute helped him reach a height that he had never reached...During the battle with this demigod, due to the intervention of a certain 'Machine Heart' angel, I entered the place sealed underground in Trier. 'Fourth Epoch Trier', I managed to leave after many twists and turns, and gained quite a lot... I will talk about this part in detail when I return to Backlund.

"During the battle, your messenger Renette Tinichole provided a lot of help, but I always feel that spending 10,000 gold coins for half the battle is too expensive. I wonder if you can talk to her about this." thing……"

As he wrote this, Angel raised his head and looked to his side, as if he was worried that the headless messenger lady would suddenly appear from the spirit world.

After a moment, she chuckled and continued writing.

“Finally, I should announce some discoveries about angels and gods at next Monday’s meeting, which is the safest place.

"I will leave Trier tomorrow and return to Backlund on Thursday. I look forward to meeting you."

In Trier, which was guarded by the "Eternal Blazing Sun" and the "God of Steam and Machinery", she did not dare to talk about these two true gods, so after writing down the time when she would return to Backlund, Angel wrote the letter Stuffed the envelope and summoned his messenger, the black cat Wensa.

But... am I the one favored by the goddess of night?

"...and the 'man in the mirror' problem caused by pollution is faced by all the descendants of the witch whose blood originates from that existence. In addition, some descendants of the nobles of the Fourth Age whose ancestors were similarly polluted also have the same problem. encounter, the premise is that they come to Trier and are affected accordingly.”

Could this be related to the fact that I was promoted for the second time? When Cole Granger was promoted to "Witch", his own "Man in the Mirror" had already appeared, but because I took his identity, I didn't?

Angel originally only wanted to get a "yes or no" answer, but he didn't expect that the answer from the black cat Wensa would bring more questions.

Angel immediately asked.

"If you are talking about the 'ageless' witch's mirror figure, then every witch will have one; if you are talking about the 'mirror figure' caused by the underground pollution in Trier, as an original child, she will also have to face the same The problem."

At this moment, the black cat Wensa emerged from near the ceiling, crossed a distance of more than two meters, and landed lightly in front of Angel. His sapphire-like eyes looked at Angel.

Touching the secret holy symbol on his wrist, Angel frowned.

Because when she took the magic potion and became a mid-sequence Extraordinary, she had no such experience at all. Instead, she saw some inexplicable clips just like when she was promoted to "Instigator". Of course, looking back now, some of the clips may have been her own. Past experiences, such as those related to "Adam".

Because it was about his biggest secret, Angel did not ask, but nodded for the other party to continue.

"Yes, in addition, I have a few questions to ask you," Angel placed the envelope in front of the black cat and continued, "You know that the 'Black Witch' Clarice also has her own 'Man in the Mirror,' right?"

She asked like a normal messenger.

"Tamara's family?"

"Please explain."

Thinking of the expressionless, doll-like angel's pressure when he looked at him, Angel lost some confidence.

Wait, the "mirror image" of being promoted to a witch... Hearing this, Angel frowned.

The latter looked at her like a teacher looking at a student who doesn't like to use their brains, wagging his tail, and then spoke after a moment:
"When you were promoted to 'Witch', you should have seen your own 'mirror' full of resentment. That is you, the 'person in the mirror' of all witches. And when you were promoted to 'Immortal', if you want to exert your full power, you must Face the person you see in the mirror and make peace with them.”

"Deliver a message?"

As for Renet, who met Bonois Gustave, the angel of the Church of Steam, in the afternoon, Angel believed that with the ability she showed during the battle in Bayam, as long as she did not get too entangled with the opponent, she should be able to leave smoothly. There is no problem, and after Bonova recognized himself as the Beloved of the Night, he probably wouldn't take action against Reinette, who was obviously on his side...right?

She forced a smile and asked Wensa.

"It seems you already know something." Black Cat raised his head and glanced at Angel, "For more details, you might as well ask Clarisse directly. She is both an 'ageless' witch and a member of the Tamara family. Descendants.”

Asking the "Black Witch" of the Witch Sect, what is the difference between that and sending it to the door... Angel curled her lips and sneered at Wensa's suggestion, but she also immediately thought that the "ageless" witch was different from other members of the Witch Sect. The color of his eyes showed a clear understanding in his heart.

"So, this letter is still for your lover in Backlund?"

Seeing that Angel was silent, Wensa pressed the envelope on the ground with his front paws and pulled it towards him.

"Yes."

Angel nodded, worried that Wensa would leave immediately, so he quickly asked another question:
“Can the kind of pollution in Trier underground be seen from the outside?”

After staying in Trier in the Fourth Age for a long time, Angel inevitably worried about whether he had suffered corresponding contamination.

"Are you worried that you will be contaminated?" Wensa originally held the envelope in his mouth, but after hearing this, he let go of the letter and asked, "For others, it is a problem, but not for you. It is better to say that the more you are connected with it, the more likely you are to be connected with it." The tighter it is, the stronger the power can be used.”

Pollution, not a problem for me?
Angel's eyes gradually opened wide, and she immediately understood what Wensa meant. The force that brought her back to life, allowing her to use her blood to create powerful spells, was the contamination beneath Trier.

"For most witches, the 'mirror world' is the source of their power, and for you, there is an additional element of 'blood'. If you want to make better use of this power, you should start from this direction. "

After saying this, Wen Sa picked up the letter, turned around gracefully, and entered the spiritual world.

----

Late at night, under the St. Samuel's Church, "Red Glove" Leonard Mitchell entered his own office with a document bag under his arm.

The captain of the "Nighthawks" team, Dailly Simone, had been waiting here for a long time. When she saw him coming in, she nodded and said:

"You came here so late. Where are the clues you said you wanted to show me?"

Leonard carefully locked the door, then came to the desk, sat casually on a chair, opened the document bag, took out some information, and said:

"After a whole day of investigation, the Extraordinary who sneaked into Chanis Gate was confirmed to be the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow who has recently become famous at sea. He has some kind of 'teleportation' ability and can quickly travel back and forth between two places. He can change his appearance, and the 'Blood Admiral' he once hunted is also a 'revengeful spirit'. This also means that when he sneaks in, he controls the servants, takes them away, hides them, and disguises them as him. consistent."

"You've been busy all day and you just went to investigate these? I thought you were more concerned about the problem we suspected."

Dai Li frowned and took the files and looked at them, and found that they were indeed collected by the Nighthawks, including various files and news about Gehrman Sparrow, and even deeds and legends of unknown origin.

"It was precisely because of the investigation of Gehrman Sparrow that I discovered certain clues and confirmed my thoughts." Leonard explained, pointing to a ship ticket stub, "He signed a ticket in December last year. In the middle of the year, he bought a boat ticket to Bayam in Pulitzer Harbor, and then started his frequent activities that lasted for several months..."

Having said this, he found another piece of paper with many clues densely written on it. Some of the handwriting was scrawled, obviously by Leonard, and others were more delicate and were written by Dai Li.

"You see, Sherlock Moriarty disappeared in Backlund in early December and has never been seen again. Then Gehrman Sparrow set off to the sea from the nearest port to Backlund."

"Do you suspect they are the same person?"

"After it was confirmed that Gehrman has the ability to change his appearance, this possibility becomes even greater." Leonard nodded, "Similarly, Sherlock Moriarty only appeared after the incident in Tingen. In Backlund, participated in many incidents.”

He pointed to keywords such as "Tarot Trial" and "The Fool" written on the paper.

"so what?"

Compared to the slightly agitated Leonard, Dai Li was much calmer, but her eyes would stop at the corner of the manuscript paper from time to time, where a name leading to the "Tingen God's Descendance Incident" was written there.

"So I took the opportunity to investigate Gehrman Sparrow's interpersonal relationships. In addition to those already famous female pirates, there is another name that appears frequently...Angelica Thatch."

"Who is that?"

"The wanted criminal of the Storm Sect is suspected of killing a bishop and stealing important supplies. He was last seen fighting the 'Rose School' with Gehrman Sparrow on the outskirts of Bayam. He is suspected of having become a demigod... But these are not the point, the point is her appearance.”

Leonard took out a wanted notice from the document bag. It was obtained with the help of the Nighthawks in Pulitzer Harbor and secretly sent to Leonard, who was secretly investigating.

Dai Li's eyes moved to the portrait on the wanted poster, and her pupils changed slightly.

"It looks very similar, especially the hair color, eye color, eye distance and other characteristics that are not easy to change."

Leonard chuckled lightly and added a few strokes to the manuscript paper full of words, adding Angelica Sage, connecting to Erin Watson, and finally pointed to Angel Granger.

"She's only about 60% similar..." Daly subconsciously wanted to refute, but changed her tone after a moment, "But you're right, she does look a lot like her... Assuming that German Sparrow is Klein Moretti, then it makes sense that this legendary pirate was so close to him."

"But she is a demigod, and Angel was only Sequence 7 last September."

She turned to frown.

"Perhaps she has hidden her initial sequence, which can explain her extraordinary fighting ability. Maybe she has some... adventures."

Leonard replied, suddenly remembering that he had said something like "the protagonist of the world stage" in front of Angel and Klein when he was in Tingen, and his cheeks felt a little warm.

If Herman was really Klein and Angelica was also Angel, then they would have surpassed him by a long time...

Putting aside this strange thought, Leonard looked aside and continued:

"There's only one thing we can do to confirm this."

Following his gaze, Dai Li also looked at the map hanging on the wall. In the northeast corner of Backlund, there was a word written next to a city that was smaller than the East District.

Tingen.
