Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 691 The Baron’s Visit
"Good evening, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

The four people who spoke all bowed to the archbishop who bore the name "Holy".

When this "Sleepless One" high-sequence extraordinary person approached, Angel was aware of it, as if she felt a terrible crisis approaching, but she knew that this was because the stronger the spirituality, the higher the sequence, the clearer the perception, so she did not No one else was alerted.

This is definitely not an "inherent" ability. I didn't feel this way at all when I met him in the office last time. Could it be that he was testing me and "Dwayne Dantès"... Angel thought and looked Looking at Klein beside him, I found that he had controlled his expression and body movements very well. Like everyone else, he drew a crimson moon on his chest and praised the goddess together with the archbishop.

"I am very gratified by your piety and generosity. The success of this charity dinner is inseparable from Mr. Dawn Dantes' proposal and everyone's positive response."

Putting down the right hand that was pressed on the dark holy symbol on his chest, Anthony looked at Klein with a smile and said.

“Recently, I often come to the church to listen to Bishop Electra’s sermons, and my soul has been purified. It also reminds me of the injustices I saw in my early years. This is how I came up with the idea of ​​donating this time and launching a student fund. impulse."

Klein bent slightly and replied respectfully, explaining that the reason why he was threatened because of the shares he held was his own contribution.

Of course, if you are willing to accept some losses, these shares cannot be sold, but Klein still took advantage of the situation to do such charity. Maybe it has something to do with what he saw in the East End during his "Sherlock" period... Angel listened to Klein's insincere words. , I thought to myself.

"The goddess witnesses your good deeds."

Saint Anthony nodded slightly and commented.

This sentence was extremely ordinary to the ears of several other believers, but Angel understood it clearly.

Has this saint already discovered that Daun Dantès is related to the invasion of Porte Chanis that day?
This is not surprising. Even the "Sword of the Goddess" Sesima seems to know part of what is going on behind the scenes. As the Archbishop of Backlund Diocese and the absolute top executive of the Church of the Goddess of Night, Anthony Stevenson would have to deal with this. If he doesn’t know anything, then his belief in the goddess is questionable!

So, what he means by this is that he or the Goddess Church is no longer pursuing the invasion incident, and the entire "trial" is over?

Klein had obviously thought of this as well. There was undisguised joy on his face as he once again drew the crimson moon on his chest, praising the goddess for her kindness.

After a short conversation, the saint left a corner of the hall to talk to other guests. Angel noticed that he did not differentiate between believers based on the amount of donation, but treated them equally, from near to far, with attitude. The warmth fully demonstrated the archbishop's style.

Of course, he came to us first, probably because of the "teaching" just now... Angel and Klein looked at each other and continued their conversation with Earl Hall in tacit understanding.

After Angel and Klein entered Backlund and entered the upper class, they both showed a certain tendency towards the New Party and showed sufficient piety towards the Goddess. They were both members of the New Party and members of the Goddess Church in Loen's political circles. Earl Hall, one of the spokespersons, semi-formally invited the two to attend a large-scale ball held at the Earl's suburban manor at the end of the month. Audrey also took the opportunity to invite Angel to her regular literary salon, making Angel more affirmative of "justice." There were already doubts about her identity.

Moreover, she should be able to become suspicious of Dwayne Dantès based on my relationship with "The World" in the Tarot Society... Angel smiled helplessly and agreed.

While the four of them were talking, Audrey's brother Hibbert Hall also stepped forward and invited Klein to a private club organized by him and some young nobles. This made the completely different "division of labor" between the brothers and sister visible to Angel. inside.

Obviously, Earl Hall's eldest son, Hibbert, will inherit his father's title and most of his political resources, and gradually move towards the political stage. Audrey does not have the right to inherit the title, but her identity as an extraordinary person has been discovered by her family. It is very possible that Will be arranged to move closer to the church as a link between religion and politics.

As for their second son, Alfred Hall, he is still active in Balam as a soldier, and he should also follow the military route in the future... After quickly distinguishing the work scope of several "successors", Angel was about to After opening his mouth to make some comments, he suddenly noticed Bishop Electra walking quickly with a smile on her face as she saw off the Archbishop.

He didn't bring his wife who was almost twice as old as him today...

As soon as this thought came to Angel's mind, the bishop said:

"Dawn, Miss Christine, I didn't expect that not long after I proposed, you would be so satisfied with each other, which makes me very happy!"

Angel and Klein's expressions froze when they looked at Elektra, who was in a depressed mood and seemed overly enthusiastic because she had been beside the archbishop just now.

----

In the early morning, as soon as he returned to his bedroom from the mirror world, Angel received a letter from the headless messenger Reinette...

...and a metal vial the size of a finger.

Sensing the familiar majestic aura inside, Angel knew that this should be the blood provided by Annie again. The blood was donated by a complete mythical creature, a "balancer". It has power far beyond that of high-level spells, even if it is sealed in a bottle It all made her feel a little trembling. After opening the letter and taking a quick look at it, Anne, as she expected, did not mention "obeying the contract" and asking Angel to use the spell to kill her. Instead, she mentioned that the pirate conference will be held on June 6th, which is next week. The event was held on an unnamed island between Tuscat Island and the Carcas Islands. The "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette has been invited, and Anne also decided to participate - with the "Golden Queen" Angelica Sacina The identity of a mysterious ghost ship.

Of course, Angel needs to provide his own crew.

By then, my crew will probably only be Elaine, plus a few of her sailors at most. However, at the critical moment, I can summon a team of "Reapers" to support the scene. Each of them has the strength of Sequence 5 and the status of a demigod. Ge, let me become the most powerful force on the sea, of course, only within half an hour... Angel muttered, burned the letter, and looked up to find that Reinette Tinichole was still floating in the air, The heads all looked at themselves.

"She...didn't pay?"

"She said..." "Myself..." "No..." "Gold coins..."

Reinette's four heads spoke in turn, and there was actually a trace of dissatisfaction and grievance in those bright red eyes.

The last person who said she had no money and was unwilling to pay the bill has been buried in the ground by the messenger lady. It seems that she can't defeat Anne, who is an angel, and can only come back to me to collect debts... In this way, Reinette's strength should be between Between Sequence 3 and Sequence 2, this means that she was most likely an angel during her lifetime?
Angel thought about it, and under the pressure of his eyes, he quickly took out a gold coin, settled the bill for Annie, and sent this powerful messenger away.

Humph, she still owes me ten thousand pounds...

When Reinette's figure completely disappeared, Angel murmured in a low voice, but did not dare to speak too loudly, for fear that the other party would leave and come back.

……

In the afternoon, Angel waited for the visit of Baron Sindras in the reception room with the widest view on the third floor of her house. At the same time, she also received the information that she had asked her housekeeper to collect about many recent events at sea.

"Sure enough, there is a reason why Anne and Bernadette actively participated in the pirate conference... In the past month, the rumors of the 'Ghost Empire' have become more and more intensive. Many pirates and merchant ships claimed to have seen the huge moving city under the night, but I got close but found nothing... It seems that the 'King of the Five Seas' Nast who organized the conference is likely to discuss this topic, and Bernadette and the others are also very interested in it..."

After summarizing some valid information from various irrelevant or exaggerated news, Angel came to a conclusion.

She is looking forward to this meeting between pirates more and more!

After putting away various newspapers, Angel sat on a soft chair and rested for a while. There was a knock on the door from the housekeeper Ribuck:
"Miss, Baron Sindras is here."

"Ask him to come over."

Angel replied, making a final check on his clothes with the help of the maid, and then asked the servants to prepare the baron's favorite white wine and various snacks in advance, while he waited quietly in the reception room.

According to the etiquette of Loen's upper echelons, a formal visit requires the host to personally greet him at the door, unless the status difference between the two is too large. However, the Baron's visit this time is an informal one, so Angel only needs to be prepared accordingly.

And I don’t know the purpose of his coming here. Judging from Klein’s recent experience, this baron is probably a ruthless character with a kind face and a dark heart. I can give him some face... Angel found a reason for his neglect.

She is not worried about the threat this baron poses to her body. Even if the baron is willing to spend a lot of money to hire a demigod to do something, Angel has enough countermeasures. Moreover, such drastic measures are too much for the Loen people. Crossing the line, I am afraid that only Intis, who is prone to frequent conspiracies in the palace, is just right...

While Angel was slandering the Baron, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then Riback opened the door and invited a middle-aged gentleman and his valet into the room.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellency, Baron."

Angel greeted him politely, his eyes lingering on the other person's black hair with silver threads, broad forehead, and clean-shaven cheeks for a moment, and then looked at the manservant who obviously also acted as a bodyguard.

"You wait at the door."

As if noticing Angel's gaze, the third largest shareholder of Backlund Bank, who obtained a knighthood with the help of the Conservative Party and became their "money bag", but quietly moved closer to the new party, the emerging aristocrat whispered to the footman He ordered, then walked into the reception room and sat down on the chair opposite Angel.

Angel also waved, drove his personal maid Aisha out of the room, and returned to his seat under the surprised eyes of Sindras.

Click, the door was closed tightly, and there were only two people left in the living room.
