Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 679 Tears
Mirror fragments?

Leonard felt that his head was even more chaotic than when he saw Klein Moretti's empty coffin just now. He stretched out his hands stained with soil and tried to pick up the fragment that seemed a bit illusory in the dim tomb, but failed. I found that as soon as my fingers touched the cold mirror surface, the latter silently disintegrated and turned into wisps of shimmering powder, sinking into the lining of the coffin and disappearing without a trace.

Hallucination, or...

He touched the velvet padding and found that although the inside of the coffin was slightly damp, there was no trace of the "corpse" lying on it. The powder after the broken mirror fragments were not real, and he almost doubted his own eyes.

After a moment, Leonard raised his head and looked at Daley above, and found that the other person was as confused as him. Only then did he confirm that what he just saw was not an illusion.

"What does it mean for a fragment of a mirror to disappear when it sees light?"

He asked softly, only to realize that his voice was hoarse after he spoke.

"Maybe it's the 'Witch's' mirror spell. She used a mirror double in...that battle, which was mentioned in your report."

Dai Li explained, her head hanging down, and the expression on her face under the hood could not be seen clearly.

How could the mirror double last for several days, until we put her in a coffin and buried her in the ground?

"Welcome back from Intis, Miss Theresa."

But then, he found that Dai Li's mind was not on this at all, but was looking at another location in Raphael Cemetery.

Leonard took two more steps forward, then stopped belatedly and looked back at Dai Li, who was following behind.

Soon, Dai Li opened her eyes again and looked at Leonard with an expectant look on his face.

Dai Li nodded slightly, then tightened his hood and strode towards another tombstone not far away.

Leonard crawled out of the grave twice, holding a shovel tightly in one hand and a fist in the other, repeating his thoughts as if to confirm.

Leonard, who had witnessed the entire funeral process, pursed his lips and didn't know how to refute the other party. He guessed that the person in his mind knew the answer, but Daley was here, so he couldn't pretend to be crazy and talk to himself.

"In any case, there are no bodies in the two tombs, which confirms our guess. Klein and Angel are indeed alive, and have changed their appearance, acquired new identities, and even tried to sneak into the Chassis of St. Samuel's Church. Nice gate, steal something!”

"team leader?"

but……

At this moment, he no longer cares about whether Klein is Gehrman Sparrow who infiltrated the Chanis Gate, Angel reported the Witch Sect, and why he sneaked into the Nighthawks. He only cares about what is inside the third tomb. The situation, the captain whom he buried with his own hands is still alive!
Suddenly, the footsteps behind him disappeared.

Dunn Smith.

Such a word popped up in the depth of his throat. This was not what he called Sost, the captain of the "Red Gloves" team he was in, but was reserved specifically for that captain...

She was channeling, asking about the spirits wandering in the cemetery... Leonard felt the atmosphere around him suddenly become colder than the middle of the night, and quietly waited for the answer.

Buried there is...

Yes, of the three "victims" of the Tingen God's descent incident, Klein is still alive and Angel is still alive. What about the captain?
Thinking of this, Leonard felt his heart beat a few beats faster.

The latter's hood slipped off as he walked forward quickly, and a few black hairs lay messily on his forehead. The green eyes below were half-closed and turned pure black from time to time.

Leonard also reacted, grabbed the shovel and followed Daley's footsteps, quickly surpassing her and heading towards the tombstone deep in his memory.

Then, they shed tears.

Before Angel set off from Trier, he sent a telegram to Backlund to inform the housekeeper of Buck's return time. Therefore, as soon as he got off the carriage, Angel was greeted by the male and female servants, gardeners, and other people who were lined up in two rows in the garden. The coachman and others welcomed him in unison, followed by Riback and the housekeeper Ms. Kayla, who entered the manor villa.

It seems that the butler has not trained them less. This kind of welcoming style is a bit aristocratic, but the price is distressing... Angel muttered with half enjoyment and half discomfort, entered the living room, and waited for the two butlers to report their absence to him. what happened during this time.

Kayla, who was in charge of internal affairs, spent a lot of money to maintain the running of her home and prepare consumables for organizing dances for the social season that had already begun. On the contrary, it was Riback's report that made Angel His brows furrowed. "Baron Sindras wants to visit at some time?"

She repeated Riback's words, remembering that some time ago, in order to get closer to the truth about the Backlund Smog, she spread the news that she intended to meet retired officers and nobles with such connections, and Riback volunteered to contact him. Former employer, Baron Sindras.

Of course, since she later connected with Sandel from the Veterans Officers Club and accepted the "test" of opening up smuggling channels, this clue was forgotten by her. Unexpectedly, she had just returned from Trier. At home, Riback mentioned this matter again.

"Yes," Riback nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, it's an informal visit."

This makes me worry. If he comes to visit officially, it may just be a social contact. In private, there may be something shady... Angel thought for a moment and asked:
"Do you know his purpose?"

Riback shook his head and said:

"Sorry, miss, I haven't had time to contact him about what you said last time, so he wants to get to know you for other reasons, well, I guess it may have something to do with the Veterans Officers Club."

Then it's still about smuggling... A millionaire, a rising aristocrat, came to me for nothing more than coveting my beauty. It seems that Sandel and the officers behind him can't wait to start "business" , and even recommended me to other people... Angel quickly figured out the connection and told his butler:
"I can meet with him. The specific time will be arranged by him, but he must inform me in advance."

Angel is also somewhat interested in this baron who has been quite the topic in Backlund's upper circles in recent years. Of course, this is mainly because he has spent millions of pounds donating his title and spending generously to acquire properties and properties in various industries. Share rumors.

"By the way, don't disturb me in the afternoon. I'm tired from the journey and need a good rest... You can tell my neighbors that I'm back, along with some Intis-style gifts that match my status."

Seeing Riback nodding in agreement, Angel gave instructions to Ms. Kayla again.

As for those "Intis gifts", the housekeeper is responsible for purchasing them. There are many such souvenir shops in Backlund, and Angel does not need to actually bring them back from Trier.

Anyway, no one really cares about how they came to Loen from Intis... Angel sneered at this complicated and expensive social link, but had to integrate into it. After the two butlers left, he Returning to the master bedroom on the third floor, she refused the help of her personal maid Aisha and put away the valuable items in her luggage that were not accessible to servants.

When he soaked himself in the bathtub and enjoyed the hot water and aromatherapy, Angel could relax his brain and start thinking about his next actions.

After returning to Backlund, her first priority was to report to Archbishop Anthony and tell him everything that happened in Trier, including the fact that the latent "Nighthawk" was replaced by the man in the mirror.

"But before going to St. Samuel's Church, I need to go to Kleina to learn more about his process of sneaking into the Chanis Gate, so as to avoid conflicts due to lack of understanding of the situation when I go to see the Archbishop... Of course, even if Gram Ryan has gotten into trouble with the Goddess Church, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. According to previous analysis, the entire operation of stealing notes may have been under the attention of the church’s top brass..."

In the bathroom where the maid had retreated, Angel muttered to himself.

In addition, there are many things lined up in her "action list" in her mind.

For example, for the pirate conference to be held in the near future, Elaine must discuss it with Anne after confirming the date. Otherwise, she, the "Golden Queen", will just be a mere commander. At most, she will bring along the "Reaper Legion" to pretend to be her subordinates; for example, Triss's exploration Progress, as well as the whereabouts of Qonas Kilgor, a possible insider of the Great Smog; and the progress of Sherman's performance, etc...

After sorting out this information in his mind one by one, Angel left the bathtub, changed into a loose nightgown under Elsa's service, locked the door to block his maid's stunning and envious gaze, without any delay, I got into the full-length mirror in the bedroom and entered the "mirror world".

----

Dantès House, No. 160, rue Beklund.

"Hugh, if we just stay next door to Mr. Dantès and rest like this, do we really not have to worry about him being secretly killed by others?"

A young woman who hid her slim figure and gorgeous appearance under a cloak looked away from the window and said to her companions.

Hugh Dilcha, who was shorter but still powerful, chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, I said, the 'sheriff' can sense many things in his own jurisdiction, including some evil and chaotic forces... If someone attacks our employer, I will know immediately."

Of course, if it's someone who I can't find, then we probably won't be able to defeat him, and it will be useless if we find him... She added in her heart, glancing secretly at her friend, Sherman.

After the latter became a "witch" and became a complete woman due to the side effects of the potion, she seemed to turn on a certain switch and quickly adapted to another gender and identity, including changes in clothing, behavior and mentality, and sometimes even It made Xio feel that the other person had lived as a woman for more than twenty years, and he was the one who had just turned into a woman less than half a month ago.

But no matter what, the fact that she can continue to treat me as a friend and complete this bodyguard commission with me when Fors sneaks away to Trier alone shows that she is still the same Sherman, no, Sherman... Xio laughed again under the other party's puzzled gaze and looked to the side of the bedroom.

Separated by a wall is their employer these days, Dwayne Dantès, who has been threatened by others due to business issues.
