Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 699 Let you go temporarily

Jason O'Neill, a name deep in Angel's memory.

When she first came to Backlund as "Erin Watson", she worked part-time as a fortune-telling witch for a while to digest her own "witch" potion and kill time.

At Laura's introduction, Jason O'Neill, whose daughter was kidnapped, came to the Divination Club for help. Under Angel's guidance, he confirmed some information about the kidnapper and instructed him to find a private detective for further investigation. Finally, with the help of Klein disguised as Sherlock Moriarty, he found his daughter.

Originally this was a happy ending, but after Mr. O'Neill expressed his gratitude to Angel, he dismissed all the servants, took his wife and daughter and jumped into the Tussock River to commit suicide. Although his daughter Emily survived in the end, she lost her parents and became an orphan.

This incident also led to Angel and Klein's first collaboration under disguise, destroying the base of the wealthy Capin in the basement of his mansion, killing him and several Beyonder accomplices, and creating an opportunity for the "Black Emperor" to appear.

From the information we have learned so far, it can be analyzed that Kapin is a link in the human trafficking chain of the royal family, the military and the witch sect, and is inextricably linked to the truth behind the Backlund smog.

This also means...

"Is the Psychological Alchemist Society also involved in the collaboration between the Witch Cult, the Aurora Society, and the military?"

Angel asked.

"He was involved to a limited extent, but it was not Hvin Rambis himself who killed Jason O'Neill. Instead, it was a high-level spell he made for his men. Because Emily O'Neill was rescued, there was a possibility that the human trade would be leaked. The spell was used to hint to the O'Neill family to end their lives in the middle of the night when no one was around. Emily, who survived by chance, was captured again by Capin."

Arrodes in the mirror answered Angel's question with a long string of words.

It seems that the people who targeted O'Neill's family were indeed Capin's men, but he was also under the command of Hvin Rambis... This makes sense. Otherwise, a demigod targeting a few civilians would be too... too low in status. Of course, judging from Baron Sindras's case, this "manipulator" likes to make random moves instead of pushing forward the incident with all his strength. This may be related to his emphasis on concealment rather than efficiency...

But no matter what, Angel and Hvin Rambis have both new and old grudges. The death of Mr. O'Neill has always made her feel guilty, and this time she was unfortunately affected by the conspiracy against Baron Syndras, which also made her very unhappy.

It’s not difficult to find this royal advisor with a public identity, but should I just rush over to kill this “audience” demigod… Will he have some kind of backup plan, or will he involve a higher-order member of the “Psychological Alchemy Society”? If it’s an “audience” angel, then I won’t even have the chance to ask Mr. Fool or Ms. Arianna for help…

Besides, Hvin Rambis didn't seem to want to kill Sindras, but only targeted his social status. Otherwise, the death of a noble worth tens of millions would cause turmoil in Backlund's upper class society, and the church would undoubtedly intervene in the investigation. He might not be able to escape. After all, Arrods could detect his true identity. The church, which possessed various seals, could conduct an in-depth investigation and it would not be difficult to get the truth.

"Has Hvin Rambis discovered that Audrey Hall or I have extraordinary abilities and interfered with his plans?"

After thinking for a moment, Angel asked another question.

"He didn't find out that you are a high-sequence witch, but he knew that Miss Hall was a 'psychiatrist'. This knowledge came from her joining the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' and obtaining the corresponding potion formula, not because of yesterday's accident."

Arrodes thoughtfully filled in the loopholes in Angel's question and gave a perfect answer.

So that's how it is. Audrey has already attracted the attention of Hvin Rambis because she joined the Psychological Alchemist Society, but he doesn't know that she has become a Sequence 6, and he didn't realize that we disrupted his plan... So we can't kill this "manipulator" right away. Otherwise, Sindras will go to the Church of Storms for help right after meeting me, and then Rambis will die. In the eyes of the high-ranking "audience", I am simply hanging in the spotlight, with no way to hide...

With a sigh, Angel gave up the idea of ​​putting the third demigod Beyonder characteristic on the Tarot Club table. He returned his gaze to the mirror and waited for Arrodes' "reply question".

"My dear mistress, would you like to know what threats are against you at the 'Pirate Conference' held this week?"

As she expected, Arrodes answered with another question, asking a question that concerned her.

How thoughtful... She muttered and nodded: "I do."

"Okay~" Arrodes replied excitedly, "The ones who pose a slight threat to you include 'King of the Five Seas' Nast. His 'Black Emperor' is also a ghost ship that can travel through the spirit world, but it is not as good as your ship; 'King of the Black Seat' Barros Hopkins, he is too mysterious, and it is difficult for me to peek into the secrets behind him, but he is the least threatening one, because this pirate king will never participate in a battle without confidence; finally, it is..."

The silver-white subtitles paused for a moment.

"...Rose School and the 'Mother Tree of Desire' behind them, please forgive me for not being able to show the relevant details, as that would cause Him to directly target me and you." Rose School, they really still hold a grudge against the defeat outside Bayam City. The Pirate Conference is far away from the control of the Church of the Northern Continent, and I am likely to be there, so there must be an ambush by them... The best way is of course not to go, but with Anne and the "Mysterious Queen" as temporary allies, maybe I can turn around and deal with them and solve the problem once and for all...

Angel assessed the dangers of going to the Pirate Conference in her heart. She thought that the possibility of the "Mother Tree of Desire" descending directly from the sky was extremely small. The biggest threat should be the evil god "Shea" who showed a giant hand outside the city of Bayam. The name of this angel had been confirmed in the communication between Klein and Miss Sharon of the Temperance Faction. Since the other party could not come with a complete body, Annie could deal with him.

If it was only a saint who came, then I would not be polite... When Angel thought of this, the suppressed mood because of not being able to deal with Hvin Rambis was released, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then she thought of the question of "cannot be displayed" mentioned by Arrodes, which was similar to when she asked about the source of the mysterious power in her body, but the latter was "cannot be seen through". Of course, this means that the two are at a similar level.

Finally, there is the "King of the Black Seat", the last of the "Four Kings"... Angel then remembered that he had heard this title many times, but he always ignored it and didn't keep it in mind.

A force that people ignore. Combined with what Arrodes said, don't fight a battle you are not sure of... He can't be a high-sequence Beyonder from the "audience" path. The concentration of "audience" has increased recently...

Angel shuddered.

"My wise mistress, may I leave now?"

Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, Arrodes asked one last question.

----

On Wednesday morning, Angel was invited to Pacefield Street, where St. Samuel's Church is located in the North District, to attend the founding ceremony of the "Roen Charity Scholarship Fund".

Every lady or gentleman who donated generously at the charity gala was invited, but Angel found that most of them did not come to watch the ceremony. Perhaps it was because the nobles were busy with their affairs, or perhaps it was because they saw this small amount of money as a necessary contribution to building good relations with the Church of Evernight and did not take it seriously.

But a little bit of money adds up to a mountain, and the total amount of more than 10 pounds will help countless poor students who yearn for knowledge... Angel took a deep breath, got off the carriage, and stood at the door of 22 Pacefield Street.

This building, which will be used as the foundation's office in the future, belongs to the Church of Night. Being near a church where land is extremely expensive, it can be exempted from paying thousands of pounds in rent each year, which is one of the benefits of engaging in charity work with the church.

Angel also discovered that not far away, opposite St. Samuel Church, there was a sign of a security company. Based on her experience, this was most likely the base of the "Night Watchers". With their protection, the Foundation's office did not need to worry about any possible danger.

This is the advantage of having the Orthodox Church behind you... On the other hand, no one seemed to have taught Baron Sindras to have a good relationship with the Storm Church he believed in, which led to him being deceived by the "audience" without knowing it. According to Audrey, every time their family went to St. Samuel Church for mass at a fixed time, they would be received by Archbishop Anthony in person. This might be a way to prevent the nobles from being secretly controlled... Angel muttered, and just as he was about to step through the gate, he heard the sound of a carriage slowly rolling over the paving stones behind him.

She looked back and found that the luxurious carriage with the Earl of Hall's family crest had just stopped. A girl in a light yellow dress decorated with lace and beautiful patterns embroidered on it left the carriage with the help of a maid. Her eyes were immediately fixed on her.

It was Miss Justice. As expected, she came to the founding ceremony. I felt that she was very interested in charity at the party... Angel laughed secretly and took the initiative to greet her:
"Good morning, Audrey..." She swallowed the word "Miss" in the face of the other's resentful eyes, "I didn't expect to see you here. I thought no one wanted to attend the establishment ceremony of the student aid fund."

"My father suggested that I participate in the operation of the student aid fund to gain some experience and gain some insights."

Hearing the other person calling her by her name, Audrey answered with a happy smile, her narrowed green eyes and the dark blue hairpin on her head looked extremely dazzling in the sunlight.

It was the "unlucky hairpin" that saved Baron Syndras' life... Angel's mouth twitched, and he subconsciously began to guard against possible accidents around him.

She herself was not afraid, but based on previous experience, "misfortune" often manifested itself to other people who were near this magical object.

However, Angel did not wait for the unexpected event. Instead, he waited for another luxurious four-wheeled carriage. As the vehicle stopped on the crowded road in front of the main entrance, Dwayne Dantès, wearing a silk hat, a black suit and holding a cane, appeared in front of the two ladies.

The "Queen", "World" and "Justice" of the Tarot Club met "offline" again.
