Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 756 The storm is coming
After enjoying afternoon tea, Angel cleared his mind and basked in the sun in the sun room on the south side of the first floor of the villa.

But the leisurely time did not last long, and soon Ribak found her.

"Miss, are you going to cancel all your plans for the rest of the week? That includes a viscount's ball, a dinner for two councillors, and Earl Hall's daughter's weekend salon."

The diligent housekeeper gave a thoughtful reminder.

"Yes, I have some personal matters this week and will be very busy. Please apologize to them and remember to enclose a gift... Don't cancel Audrey's salon for the time being. I may go on Sunday."

Angel yawned and answered slowly.

Busy...Looking at the lazy appearance of his mistress, Ribak silently turned his gaze away, thinking in his mind how to deal with the questions from the stewards of those nobles and dignitaries.

Fortunately, she had become a celebrity in Backlund's social season. Even if she refused some invitations, it would only attract more people. Of course, if she didn't appear in public for a whole week, there would always be some discordant rumors, such as the lady and a middle-aged gentleman went to Dixie Bay to spend a happy and private weekend... Hmm, that gentleman seemed to have left Backlund last week. Could he have been threatened by some nobles and took the opportunity to escape from this troubled place...

Before leaving, Ribak glanced at his hostess again and found that she was looking towards the south, her profile seeming to sparkle with golden light under the afternoon sun.

……

"This way, we can have enough time to prepare for any possible battles in the southern continent..."

After the housekeeper left, Angel heaved a sigh of relief and chose a comfortable position to lean back on the recliner. She couldn't help but think of her and Klein's plan.

Their method of dealing with "0-08" was nothing more than using the characteristic of this seal that it could only write people into the "story" within a certain range, so that the main combat force Angel would stay in Backlund, while Klein would look for clues in Balam and track down Ince Zangwill.

Once the target is confirmed, both "Mirror World" and "Groselle's Travels" can allow her to quickly enter the battlefield. Although the latter can be used a limited number of times, it is undoubtedly worth using an opportunity to avenge the traitorous archbishop.

As for the "Red Angel" evil spirit in him, the two also had certain countermeasures.

Thinking of this, a purple light flashed in Angel's eyes, and the extraordinary characteristics of "Harvester Legion" and "Iron-Blood Knight" taken out from the mirror space appeared in his hands.

Then, she closed her eyes and prayed softly under the scorching sun:

"...Mother of Secrets, Queen of Disaster and Terror, Lord of Sleep and Silence... Please grant your blessing and protect the vengeful Nighthawks."

----

"Praise the Goddess. Based on Daly's speculation, we conducted a corresponding investigation and indeed found more evidence. Ince Zangwill is very likely possessed by the evil spirit of the Hunter Path, and therefore hunted several Beyonders of the corresponding Path and took away their Beyonder characteristics."

In the night watchman's station in the city of Gurain, a group of "Red Gloves" who were still in high spirits after an all-night investigation were discussing the case around a long table. However, Daly Simone, the "hero" in the eyes of Captain Sost, was yawning and curled up in a corner of the room, seemingly taking a nap.

Leonard Mitchell secretly glanced at the lady who took the initiative to take all the risks after learning the truth, and asked with a light cough:

"Captain Sost, what should we do now? According to the current clues, he seems to have left Gurain and has traveled to several surrounding cities and even deep into the ancient forest..."

Looking around, seeing other team members looking at him in confusion, Soster said in a deep voice:
"Her Excellency 'Eye of the Goddess' has already known about this. She has approved our conclusion and reported it to the Holy Temple. She has also received new orders... What we need to do is to divide into groups and follow up on the clues we have found so far, and do a good job of gathering intelligence. Don't worry about other things, let alone conduct in-depth investigations!"

This was almost a "playing dumb" order that made the Red Gloves look at each other in bewilderment, but since they had received the order, they did not express any objection. Instead, they quickly divided into groups according to their habits, left their base, and went to various places to collect new clues.

Leonard and the sleepy Daly came to the street together. In the setting sun, coffins popular in the southern continent were carried past the two of them, as if they were heading to a grand funeral.

"You know what? After I first took the potion, I once slept in a coffin like this due to the trauma in my life and the effects of the potion."

Watching an "eight-man coffin" passing by, Daly suddenly spoke.

"I've heard some rumors."

Leonard twitched his lips, and answered honestly after a moment.

"It was not until I met him that I tried to change my decadent lifestyle and became conservative so that he could accept me... But it was not until Angel broke through that misunderstanding that I realized that he also did not dare to reveal his true feelings because of some inferiority complex..."

Suddenly hearing a certain name, Leonard straightened up nervously and looked around. After the "old man" in his body fell into a deep sleep, he would have this feeling of insecurity from time to time, always feeling that someone outside of his field of vision was spying on him.

"...I'm saying this now to tell you that I know you're hiding a secret from me, and I don't want to expose it, but when the time comes, you have to take me with you." After saying this, Daly seemed to have completely regained consciousness, and her face was no longer tired. She glanced at the Church of the Night across the street, tightened her hood, and asked:
"Where should we go next?"

Leonard woke up as if from a dream and pointed to the alley next to the church:
"Let's start over there."

----

In the alley that was gradually darkening in the sunset, two figures were passing by quickly, one in front and one behind.

"After I finish copying these reports, my mission of investigating Uttar Pradesh will be complete."

“Flame” Danitz shook the file bag in his hand with a dejected look on his face. Working on these writing tasks day and night had made even the “Hunter” with excellent physical strength a little exhausted.

If this mission had not come from a "crazy adventurer" who seemed to be related to the death of "Admiral Hell", he would have burned all this shitty information and returned to the "Golden Dream" to find the captain.

"I've always wanted to ask, why don't you find a local who knows Loenese to help you copy it? Maybe it'll only cost a few Delish a day."

Anderson Hood, who was walking behind him in square steps and kicking stones under his feet from time to time, asked sarcastically.

"Delisi" is a local copper coin, similar in value to "kope" in Intis.

Yeah, why didn’t I think of it…shit, it must be because Anderson was chattering beside me all day that I didn’t think of this great idea. Now that I’ve almost finished copying the West Balam information that Hermann asked me to organize, he just “remembered” it?
Danitz's face immediately turned red, and he was about to blurt out some of Intis's national treasures, but in the end he held back the impulse and said:
"I'm a little curious. You've been following me these days. What exactly do you want to do? Let me make it clear first. I won't be returning to the captain during this period of time. Don't try to use me to get close to her!"

"Why should I get close to her..." Anderson muttered to himself at first, but soon shook his head. "I have found the approximate location of an ancient mausoleum near the city of Kukwa. They believe in the ancient god of death and think that death is a new beginning, so there are many burial objects..."

“Why don’t you go quickly then?” Upon hearing about the treasure, Danitz felt a little itchy. If it weren’t for his mission, he might have been unable to resist going out of the city to explore. Perhaps he could have dug up the real “Key of Death”.

"I always feel that... we should keep waiting. Perhaps the real treasure has not yet appeared before the eyes of the world..."

Anderson said mysteriously, and then led the way out of the alley and walked towards the crowded square not far away.

Danitz, who was cursing, wanted to leave immediately, but after thinking about it, he decided to follow the "reaper" to avoid being targeted by someone because of his bounty, which had recently increased to 10,000 pounds.

They didn't notice that a middle-aged man in a simple white robe, with blond hair and a golden beard, and warm eyes, followed behind them with a smile on his face and walked towards the square.

The people blocking his path naturally made way and gathered behind him, but no one looked at him, as if they had ignored him.

----

Pulling himself away from the crimson star representing Danitz the Blazing Flame, Klein the Fool leaned tightly against his high-back chair, and it took him a long time to calm down.

When he inadvertently observed his only believer, he discovered that there was a figure lingering around him that was not noticed by anyone.

That is the son of the Creator, the master of the "Twilight Hermit Order", and the "Angel of Fantasy" Adam!
He had seen him once when he was fortune-telling Angel's current situation. At that time, Adam seemed to have foreseen the future. He looked up at that time in the past and smiled warmly at the divination screen, which made "The Fool" break out in a cold sweat and almost made him suffer from "audience phobia".

At this moment, this most powerful audience member appeared in Klein's field of vision again, causing him to realize what was going to happen next despite his fear:

Adam, the Angel King of the Audience Path Sequence 1, is seeking the Sealed Artifact "0-08"!
Is that the extraordinary quality He needs, or is it His so-called "uniqueness"...

Klein shook his head and pulled himself out of this meaningless speculation.

No matter what Adam's purpose was, since He had already appeared here, it meant that the "plan" was nearing its end. Perhaps in the next moment, "0-08" would bring Ince Zangwill and crash into Him.

According to the law of aggregation, this is reasonable, and since this "audience" who likes to hide behind the scenes and arrange everything has appeared in West Balam, it means that he is confident that his target will appear in the same place at the right time.

But Adam only had to wait for the seal to be delivered to him, but for me, there was more to consider. His appearance would undoubtedly disrupt my plan, but it would also weaken the effect of the seal "0-08". As long as I made good use of this, the success rate of hunting down Ince Zangwill would be greatly increased. Moreover, He was a "spectator"...

Thinking of this, Klein no longer hesitated. He clicked on the crimson star of the "Queen" and projected the "picture" he had prepared long ago towards her.

The deep and hoarse voice of "The World" echoed in the gray fog:
"Plan begins, set off immediately, target: West Balam, Uttar Pradesh, Kukwa City!"
