Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 697: The Limitations of “Craftsmen”

All the members present were not rookies in the world of mysticism. They were not excited because of the long absence, but carried out various transactions step by step. Emlyn the Moon spent 5000 pounds to buy the "Priest of Light" potion formula from the World to exchange it with Derrick the Sun for the Sequence 5 artificial vampire Beyonder characteristic. The Hanged Man told the World that the magical item he made with the Ocean Singer Beyonder characteristic would be available in a week at most. The magical item with the Astrologer characteristic of Justice would have to wait for a while.

"So, your craftsmen will be able to continue accepting new commissions soon?"

Hearing this, Angel asked.

"That's right," Alger, the Hanged Man, who was sitting opposite her, nodded and asked expectantly, "Are you going to make new magical items too?"

Using the contact rights of this "craftsman", Alger has earned thousands of pounds in information fees from the Tarot Club, and the craftsman is also grateful for his frequent commissions. This "double-edged sword" makes him feel like his heart is floating every time he holds a meeting.

"I have a Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic. Can that 'craftsman' make it into a suitable magical item?"

Angel originally planned to leave the extraordinary characteristics of the "Iron Knight" to Elaine, but the latter is currently only Sequence 6, and it will be a long time before she can be promoted to Demigod. The "Knight Bracelet" that he used quite well was damaged in the battle with Syrio Soran, and he currently lacks a melee weapon. When he heard that Klein's magical item was completed, he had the idea of ​​making a new weapon.

Of course, the alternative option is the extraordinary characteristics of "Dawn Knight", but the magical items of Sequence 6 have limited effects in the battle between demigods, and making a bone sword is not very useful.

"Characteristics of a demigod?" Hearing Angel's answer, Alger frowned and leaned forward involuntarily. "May I ask, is this the extraordinary characteristic of the 'puppet' from last time?"

The others also held their breath and turned their eyes to Angel, waiting for her answer.

They had some vague guesses, but were reluctant to believe it.

Under everyone's gaze, Angel smiled apologetically:
"The characteristics of that 'Puppet' have been sold... What I want to make into a magical item is a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Iron Knight', which belongs to the demigod of the 'Hunter' path."

Another extraordinary characteristic of a demigod...

The Hanged Man opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He had just been promoted to Sequence 5 "Ocean Singer". Although he had obtained the "Tyrant" card and was able to obtain the formula of Sequence 4 "Disaster Priest" from the Fool, the digestion progress, potion materials and ritual preparations were all far away. Even with the most optimistic estimate, he would have a chance to step onto the high-sequence ladder only by this time next year.

And Miss "Queen" has already obtained the second extraordinary characteristic of a demigod.

It was only a little over a month since she was promoted to demigod!

The eyes of the others were also somewhat dull. Except for the "magician" Fors, who lacked a certain degree of motivation for advancement, the other members had already entered Sequence 6 or Sequence 5. They had certain expectations for higher Sequences and believed that with the help of the Tarot Club and Mr. Fool, and with the help of other members, they had a chance to challenge the concept of "demigod, half-human".

But within a short month, two Sequence 4 Beyonders were placed on the Tarot Club's "dining table" one after another, which made them begin to doubt whether high-sequence Beyonders were like cabbages in the field, growing a crop every once in a while, just waiting for the "Queen" to harvest them with a sickle in hand.

The world outside is so wonderful. There are so few demigods in our Silver City that it is difficult to protect every team that leaves the city to explore. If there were another Beyonder as powerful as Miss Queen, many people would not have died... The first thought that came to "Sun" Derrick's mind was envy.

They are just "earls" of the blood clan. I know several of them, although they don't know me... "Moon" Emlyn curled his lips, but sat up straighter, and his eyes turned even more ardently as he looked at the "Sun" beside him who was about to provide him with Sequence 5 Beyonder characteristics.

Miss Queen has killed another "Hunter" demigod, no, justice has punished me. I am even writing her extra novels. Fortunately, she doesn't know my real identity... "Magician" Fors was trembling with fear. The idea of ​​"making another profit and then stop" and the idea of ​​"confessing and being lenient" were fighting in his mind. They quickly came to a compromise of "not publishing in the Kingdom of Loen", which stopped their teeth from clashing with each other.

The only one who could maintain a stable mentality was the knowledgeable "hermit" Cattleya. She just looked at Angel meaningfully, her gaze well hidden under her thick-framed glasses.

After a brief silence, Alger spoke again:
"I need to ask that 'craftsman'. He has never made a magical item above Sequence 5. In the system of the seven major churches, this can also be called a '1' level sealed item. It is an item that can only be used by senior deacons and cardinals."

"I'm waiting for your good news." Angel replied with a little disappointment, without much expectation in his heart.

"I think the craftsman Mr. The Hanged Man knows is not capable enough to handle Beyonder characteristics of this level..."

Suddenly, Cattleya, the Hermit, interrupted, causing Angel and Alger to look at her at the same time.

"Because of 'divinity'?"

Angel suddenly thought of a possibility and asked back.

"That's right. The reason why Sequence 4 is so different from previous sequences and why they are called 'demigods' is because they already have a hint of divinity and are no longer pure humans.

"Similarly, their Beyonder characteristics are difficult to master and control. They can only be processed by Sequence 4 Alchemists to successfully make them into magical items, rather than turning them into a sealed object with alarming negative effects... Of course, you can also choose a more brutal method, not sealing them, and place the Beyonder characteristics with other objects for a period of time, hoping that they will become what you need."

At the end, the "Hermit" chuckled, as if he had seen similar "negative examples". And then it became a "Reaper Legion" that would backstab its master? It would be scary enough to have one of those things on you... Angel complained in his heart.

She knew that the "Hermit" must have his own purpose for saying this, so she did not speak and waited for him to continue speaking.

"If you are willing to wait, I can try to contact an alchemist for you, but because it is somewhat dangerous, you have to pay 2000 pounds regardless of whether he agrees or not. This can be agreed upon under the witness of Mr. Fool. Alternatively, you can sell this extraordinary characteristic directly. I think I can give you a reasonable price."

"Hermit," Cattleya said in a calm tone.

But I don’t want to choose either of them. The former will require me to pay a huge sum of 2000 pounds, and I’m not sure whether the “Alchemist” will agree to it. Well, this may mean that the demigod-level craftsman is not directly under the control of Ms. “Hermit”, and she also needs to contact someone else… Although the latter can make me earn a sum of cash, the demigod extraordinary characteristics are hard to come by. Once sold, I will not be able to obtain another high-sequence magical item in a short period of time…

After thinking for a moment, Angel shook his head and said:

"I'll try asking other channels first."

She planned to ask "Arrodes" to confirm whether only high-sequence "craftsmen" could make high-sequence magical items, and ask him to introduce a few to her, and then decide whether to trade through the "Hermit".

"Ok."

Cattleya replied.

She and her "Star Pirates" did not have their own exclusive "craftsmen". Although there was an "alchemist" in the "Moss Ascetic Order", he had a strange temper and no fixed place to live, so it would be very risky to contact him. Since the "Queen" did not agree, she was happy to save the trouble.

The transaction ended after the "craftsmen" exchanged their abilities, and everyone quickly moved on to the next stage.

"The annual 'Pirate Conference' will be held soon, and huge waves will be set off on the five seas again."

"The Hanged Man" Alger chuckled and spoke, looking at the "Hermit" to see the reaction of the pirate general.

Angel also sat up straight, wanting to hear about the event he was about to attend.

"But this time, the number of pirates participating is probably only half of last year's," Cattleya pushed her glasses and said jokingly, "Several generals either lost their flagships or their lives. The Loen Navy's ironclad ships were stationed in the busy main channel and sank many pirate ships that dared to show up. Some were so scared that they slipped into the Misty Sea."

It sounds like I did some of these things, such as Vice Admiral Disease's Black Death and Admiral Hell's Black Tulip... Well, Klein did it too. He turned Admiral Blood into a secret doll and threw it in the misty town... Angel muttered, and asked:
"Which pirate generals and pirate kings will participate?"

"The initiator, 'King of the Five Seas' Nast, will definitely be there. Under his influence, all generals should attend, except for those with legitimate reasons, such as the deceased 'Admiral of Blood'. As for the kings, I'm not sure... In addition, I heard that the recently rising 'Golden Queen' has also received an invitation."

After saying that, Cattleya looked at Angel meaningfully.

Really? I don't know myself... Where can they send the letter? No. 8, Birningham Road, Backlund, to Miss Christine Theresa?

However, I admitted to killing the demigod of the "Rose School". I believe that the members of the Tarot Club have already known that I am "Angelica Sage" through newspapers and wanted posters. Maybe at the Tarot Club next week, I can share my experience of the "Pirate Conference"...

Angel chuckled secretly and ended the topic that was about to be related to himself with silence. He then talked about what he saw and heard in Trier, and most importantly, the issue of the "man in the mirror".

"A 'person in the mirror' who looks exactly like me and even has my own memories?"

After listening to her narration in which she concealed most of what happened and only extracted key information, "Justice" Audrey was the first to scream out in surprise. She felt that this was even more terrifying than being trapped in a time loop and encountering the "Time Angel" Amon.

The other members also had their own reactions, some frowned in thought, some daydreamed, but only the "Hermit" Cattleya felt that the "Queen" was looking at her, as if they were "talking to each other across the air."

What does she want me to do?
Cattleya thought about it.

Trier's contamination, the person who was secretly replaced, and the different personality from the original... A thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

The "Queen" wants me to tell this to the Queen who is from Intis and whose father was once the Queen of "Caesar"?

But would Mr. Fool agree to tell outsiders about what was discussed at the Tarot Club...

The memory of the “punishment” that caused severe pain all over her body seemed to resurface. She looked at The Fool at the head of the long table with some fear, and found that this being did not react at all, and his figure was immersed in the gray mist, like a statue.
