Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 742 Heading to Calderon
The "Mother of Heaven" who looks like the statue in the foggy town and helped Angel and Klein in the heavy smog is the goddess of night?

Angel instinctively felt that this guess was outrageous, but he quickly accepted this fact in his heart.

Because this can explain almost all the doubts, such as why He could quickly and accurately locate Angel and Klein, why He was so confident in calling the name of the God of Death, and why He could appear behind the Chanis Gate and lock Klein in the foggy town...

"So, the statue of 'Mother of Heaven' is actually dedicated to..."

She murmured, but dared not utter the last word, or even think about it, lest the Goddess discover that she, the "favored one of God", was criticizing Him in her heart.

"No, I don't think so. The one who believes in the 'Lord of Night, Mother of the Sky' is the 'Kingdom of Night' in the Fourth Epoch, located on the Honachis Mountains. It is said to have a certain relationship with the ancient god 'Night Wolf' Flegra. According to the records of the church, the belief in the night was spread in the world before the Fourth Epoch, so the 'Mother of the Sky' must not be Him... But I think there is another possibility..."

Klein also recovered from his momentary shock and explained in a low voice.

He is indeed a top student in the history department, but I’m afraid he didn’t learn this history in school... Did he often read church texts during his time as a Night Watchman?

Angel's lips curled up slightly, and then he thought of the possibility that Klein mentioned:
"God descends?"

As a Beyonder who was well versed in the mysticism, Angel was no stranger to this term. She had even personally experienced the coming of God, which was the coming of the "True Creator" in Tingen City, planned by Lanevus, led by the Aurora Society, and used by Ince Zangwill.

The destroyed "Kingdom of Night", the dull-looking "Mother of the Sky", the Goddess of Night... Angel connected these words together in his mind and thought of an astonishing possibility.

The descendant of the "Night Wolf" Flegra, the "Mother of Heaven", was captured and imprisoned after the "Kingdom of Night" was destroyed by the Goddess Church, and became the vessel for the Goddess to descend into the world!

This horrifying fact made Angel hold his breath. He looked at Klein and found that the other's eyes were also filled with shock and panic. The two looked at each other for a few seconds and drew a crimson moon on their chests at the same time.

We can't talk about this topic anymore, otherwise the two of them might end up in the foggy town in the next second, and can only survive by licking the wall dust and eating wild grass, just like the half-crazy Mr. A and Panatia... Angel took a deep breath, forced a smile and said:

"What are you going to do next? Prepare for the exploration of Calderon City, or go to West Balam to sell your arms?"

Compared to that existence, Calderon in the depths of the spiritual world and the southern continent where the "Rose School" is entrenched are more lighthearted and enjoyable topics.

"There's no rush to sell the arms. I even want to wait until I'm promoted to Sequence 4, or at least digest the potion at the current stage before returning to the Northern Continent, back to Backlund, to avoid certain unsolvable problems..." Klein also wisely changed the subject. "For the trip to Calderon, I plan to wait another day to see if others have any responses. If it's just the two of us, we have to be fully prepared before heading to that legendary city."

Other helpers... Angel also thought about those people in his social circle who could help. As a ghost ship, Anne undoubtedly had the strongest combat power in the spirit world, but her contractor was himself, not Klein, so whether she would be willing to help was a question. The "Mysterious Queen" Bernadette was separated from Anne by a layer of relationship, so it was even more difficult to ask for help...

After much thought, Angel couldn't find a demigod who could help except Will Auceptin who was not yet born.

"I'll try to ask Annie if she offers to help for money..."

"I'll try to pay her what she needs."

Klein answered quickly. He also had some hope in his heart. If he could get the help of this "Balancer", the "Spiritual Predators" with strength between Sequence 5 and Sequence 4 would have no choice but to surrender...

----

"...I will be staying in Russell Harbor with Bernadette for about half a month. Even if there is an emergency, I can only transfer part of my power through the contract summoning. It takes more than two hours to reach the Raging Sea through the spirit world. You must take this into consideration in advance when you fight."

After reading Anne's letter three times, Angel finally confirmed one thing:

"I reject."

As expected, she doesn't care much about anything other than the contractors... Well, this is normal. An angel can help me for free several times, which is already very kind. But why did she and Bernadette go to Leuser Port on the west coast of Intis?
A map of the northern continent appeared in Angel's mind, and he discovered that this seaport could directly lead to Trier inland through the Serenzo River.

Princess Bernadette Gustav of the Intis Empire would not be planning to drive the "Queen Anne's Revenge" directly into Trier to bombard the Palace of Philanthropy where the president is located to avenge her father and restore the Gustav dynasty. There are angels guarding there. Wait, the patron angel of Trier this month is Benoît Gustav. If He is of one mind with her sister and brings the Steam Church along, maybe He can really... She shook her head, dispelled this strange idea, and looked at Renette Tinicole who was still floating in the air, waiting to be fed with gold coins.

"He also..." "Ask me..." "But I..." "Can't enter..." She refused before I even asked. How would she react if I said that the postage this time was related to the gold coins she owed me... Angel smiled awkwardly, found a gold coin and stuffed it into Renette's mouth.

----

"Miss Messenger cannot enter Calderon City, which makes me more interested in the earthly kingdom of the ancient god Graygari... Miss Sharon will be promoted to Sequence 4 soon. If Angel is not here, I can only wait for her to be promoted before making any plans. But now, she can only be a backup plan..."

In the gray fog palace, Klein the Fool sat casually on his high-back chair, tapping the tabletop of the long bronze table with his right index finger as he pondered over a plan to explore Calderon City.

"With Angel as the main force of the exploration, I don't need to bring all the magical items. That would expose my close connection with the 'Fool'. But I can make limited use of the status of the 'Card of Blasphemy'. This was exposed when I played the 'Black Emperor' before. It can be said to be a gift from the Fool. Then there are the 'Creeping Hunger' and 'Sea Words' canes. These are all items belonging to the 'World' and will not arouse suspicion..."

Muttering, he looked at the pile of miscellaneous items belonging to the "Fool" behind the chair. The "Word of the Sea" that would randomly sing loudly and the "Creeping Hunger" that yearned for the "True Creator" had already exhausted all their strength in hurting each other. Both of them fell to the ground, no longer struggling or trying to instill some strange ideas into Klein.

Seeing his eyes silently asking “Are you convinced?”, the cane with its own life jumped to the high-back chair first and stuffed itself into the hands of The Fool in submission. The Creeping Hunger followed behind using its fingers as legs, but was a step slower and collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

"This is the bottom level harming each other... No, it's me, The Fool, who taught me well."

Klein chuckled and communicated with the two magical objects in a friendly manner for a moment, asking them to suppress their instincts during the exploration period and not to sing loudly or pray to the evil god, which would cause unnecessary trouble. He then put the cane aside and looked at the several "blasphemous cards" on the edge of the table.

Witch, Red Priest, Tyrant, Black Emperor... He glanced at the different looks of Emperor Roselle as if he was picking out clothes, and finally chose the "Tyrant" card that matched the "Word of the Sea".

"The other three cards either have abilities I'm not familiar with, or they may attract Nast, the 'King of the Five Seas' who can enter the spirit world, so they are not suitable for this exploration. With the 'Tyrant' and the Sea Voice Staff, I'm almost half a Sequence 4... There is also an advantage to exploring Calderon City through the spirit. If the situation is too dangerous, I can cut off the 'summoning' at any time and return to the spirit to avoid being trapped in the same place. But this requires Angel to enter the city through a similar method..."

As he pondered, his gaze rested on the remaining three "blasphemous cards".

----

A new week arrived. Before dawn, Angel left the mirror world and walked into Klein's new residence.

Yesterday, which was Sunday, Klein had left Gurain and headed for the city of Tetnik on the edge of the ancient forest in the north of East Balam. In this small city that sells jungle specialties such as wood and rubber, he is far away from the raging sea and the disputes among various forces.

As soon as Angel stepped into the luxurious suite of the forest hotel, he saw the "winner" Enzo, who was dressed as a local native and had a tanned skin, and the "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell, who took off his gorgeous coat and changed into servant's clothes.

With the two people serving him, Klein was sitting on the recliner, waiting for Angel to appear.

"Seeing you so leisurely, I feel that getting up early and spending half an hour crossing the raging sea is a bit unworthy."

Angel picked up a cushion and threw it at Klein, knocking him off the comfortable recliner. He then lay down, feeling the warmth left by the other person, and asked:

"Ready to go?"

This was the time the two had agreed to explore Calderon City. It was expected to take the entire morning, leaving enough time to attend the tarot meeting at 3 p.m., and also avoiding Backlund's usual social time.

"Almost done, there's only one small thing left..."

Klein smiled mysteriously, took out a metal box from his pocket and handed it to Angel.

The latter curiously removed the spiritual wall that sealed the iron box and opened the lid.

A "blasphemy card" lay quietly in the box.

It was a "Witch" card with Emperor Roselle wearing women's clothing and a crown on his head.
