Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 767: The Trickster
"You see, as long as the difference from my original body shape is not too big, I can change into any shape at will, and it will be more natural, not like before when it would look abrupt."

"Really? No wonder I just noticed that you've grown taller..."

"Yeah, I deliberately grew a few centimeters longer so that I can be more compatible with you... In addition, my other abilities have also been enhanced a lot, such as this... and this."

"This is all considered normal improvement, right? Isn't there something more powerful?"

"Of course, but this requires the involvement of both of them..."

"Who?"

"Enzo and Ludwell, of course. Is there anyone else in the room?"

"Well, well, let them in quickly. I can't wait any longer... Ah, they can actually come in like this... Is this what you call 'more powerful'? It's really surprising..."

"Hehe, this is the biggest improvement after being promoted to a demigod!"

Angel, who was sitting on the sofa, exclaimed as he looked at the "Winner" Enzo and the "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell who suddenly appeared in front of them using "Flame Flash", and then he understood what Klein meant by the "new ability".

The “weird wizard” can actually let the secret puppets use his extraordinary abilities!
This means that the secret doll not only has the sequence of his original path, but also has all the abilities of "Fortune Teller" Sequence 4. Even if it lacks divinity, it may not have much effect on demigod-level enemies, but at least it can play a big role in deceiving and interfering with the enemy.

"But it still doesn't sound that good..."

Angel still looked somewhat dissatisfied, but she was actually very envious in her heart. She took a sip of the already cold lemon tea, and looked at Klein who was driven from the single sofa to another chair, muttering.

The latter chuckled, turned his head to pick up his teacup, and when he turned back, he had turned into the "winner" Enzo, a native of the southern continent with dark brown skin and slightly curly black hair. Enzo at the door had become thinner, with side-combed black hair, and his body shape had become what Angel was familiar with.

"Isn't it that the two of them used the transformation ability of the Faceless Man at the same time..." As soon as Angel pointed out Klein's "trick", he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "You are the real Klein?"

She was looking at the original "Enzo", the one who had just come in from outside the room through the "flame flash".

"Yes, this is the deep application of the ability of the 'Strange Mage'. I can instantly switch positions with my secret puppet through the spiritual thread, and then cooperate with the 'Faceless Man' to change my appearance..."

Enzo said, and turned back into the dark brown-skinned southern continent man. Angel turned to look at the man sitting on the chair and found that he had turned into Klein again.

The whole process was seamless; he even held the teacup steadily, without the liquid inside shaking at all.

"This means that as long as any of the puppets are still alive, I will not die, and the distance is up to 1000 meters, which is more effective than any substitute... It is also difficult for the enemy to distinguish which is the real 'Trickster' and which is his puppet. For example, did you just realize that the person sitting here is Enzo?"

Klein swirled the tea in his cup, crossed his legs, and spoke half-showing off and half-explaining.

After digesting the "despair" potion, my mirror substitute has a distance of about 1000 meters, and there is no need to place a secret doll in advance... Angel muttered secretly, but in his heart he became more and more envious of the abilities of these "weird wizards".

Suddenly, she thought of something.

"Wait, you mean, the one who just hugged me was actually your secret doll Enzo?"

Thinking of this, she straightened her back and almost stood up, her eyes constantly moving between Klein and Enzo.

"No, that's not what I meant..." Klein looked at Angel, who suddenly became nervous, and quickly explained, "How could I use a secret doll to hug my fiancée?"

Fiancée…Angel felt his cheeks getting hot again and slumped back into the sofa.

As the research on the extraordinary abilities of the "Trickster" came to an end, Angel told Klein about his attempt to enter the city in the apocalypse, where he saw the streets shrouded in gray fog and impassable, as well as the news he heard from Arrodes.

Of course, she concealed the fact that she had seen the body of "Angel Gray" and that she had deduced that the place under her feet was "Earth". After all, for a "native" like Klein, it didn't matter whether it was Earth or not. Although the fact that she was not "Cole Granger" made people happy, the explanation inevitably involved the issue of "time travel".

Can he really accept the fact that my body and soul are not the same person? It is better to let this matter rot in my stomach. Anyway, Ince Zangwill is already dead... She thought about it, wrote the seven "sources" on a piece of paper, and handed it to Klein.

The latter took the manuscript paper with names such as "Source Castle", "Chaos Sea", and "City of Disaster" written on it, and his eyes stayed on it for a long time before he carefully asked:
"So, you are basically sure that the 'City of Disaster' is the city you can see?"

"Yes, that's what the Red Angel evil spirit said... By the way, he was called 'Soren Einhorn Medici', not 'Medici' as we thought... This matches the blood requirements of the three family descendants that he asked us to find. Does it mean that he is not actually a pure 'Red Angel'?"

“It’s very likely that these three families have mastered the Hunter Path potion. They may have a deeper connection in the Fourth Epoch than we imagined…” Klein nodded thoughtfully, his eyes fixed on the “Source Castle” on the paper.

I always wonder if this "source essence" hidden in the spiritual world is related to the mysterious gray fog... All kinds of thoughts came to his mind, but without more clues and evidence, he had to remember these difficult names in his heart, ignite the spiritual flame, and burn the manuscript paper.

Then, he raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Angel.

It was only daybreak now, and even if Angel locked the door and slept until noon in Backlund, no servant would dare to disturb him, so...

He was kind of thinking about actually trying out the various improvements that the "Weird Wizard" had made to his body.

Enzo and Ludwell looked at each other, left the bedroom tacitly, and closed the door for their master.

----

After a busy whole day, the night watchmen who rushed to the city of Kukwa in Uttar Pradesh finally figured out all the details of last night's battle.

Of course, the real intelligence was only in the hands of Dunn Smith, Leonard Mitchell, and Daly Simone, who actually participated in the battle, and Ilia, the "Eye of the Goddess", who personally communicated with the incomplete spirit of Ince Zangwill.

Others who arrived, including "Red Glove" Soest, were only amazed at the Resurrection Square destroyed by the severe thunderstorm, the nearby warehouse area destroyed by fire, and the "precision strike" without any civilian casualties.

However, Leonard and Daly, who were in Gurain City in East Balam the day before and suddenly appeared in West Balam at night, were still questioned by internal members. But after the "Eye of the Goddess" vouched for the two, these doubts disappeared without a trace. Even Sost believed that they were chosen by Lady Ilia as the executors of the secret mission and assisted the senior deacon in executing the traitor Ince Zangwill.

This is to avoid the sight of "0-08", which makes sense... everyone thinks so.

"So, you actually became the executor of some secret mission, acting to avoid '0-08'?"

Gathering together on a bench in a corner of the church, Leonard looked at his former captain, Dunn Smith, who had "sacrificed" in Tingen, with a puzzled look on his face.

The latter nodded and replied with a familiar and reassuring seriousness on his face:

"That's right. Actually, during the God's Descent incident in Tingen, I did not die on the spot. Instead, I was saved by Ms. Arianna who came from the temple. However, she also assigned me a secret mission: to pretend that I was dead and secretly investigate Ince Zangwill."

Ms. Arianna, the abbess of the Night Monastery, the head of the thirteen archbishops... Leonard recalled the information about this ascetic and looked at Daly Simone on the other side of the bench in shock.

No wonder she didn't find the truth when she used the spirit world to explore the captain's coffin that day. It turned out that it was arranged by the angel on earth himself...

"What is the 'Heart of the Goddess'? Does this mean that you, like the 'Sword of the Goddess', are in control of a holy object?"

Daley, who had been listening but not saying anything, suddenly asked.

Dunn did not answer, but nodded silently.

The other two knew that this meant a secret that they could not know.

As long as the captain was still alive, it was enough... So he, Klein, and Angel were not killed in the disaster... Leonard had an absurd thought: This meant that his reason for revenge against Ince Zangwill was no longer sufficient.

But he also killed so many civilians, so he deserved to die... But even so, there are still many questions that have not been answered, such as Angel's true identity. Is she the "ageless" witch who deceived Klein and deceived all of us...

Leonard was about to ask a question when he saw Dunn and Daly stand up together and walk towards the passage leading to the underground rest area at the back of the church.

He opened his mouth, then suddenly thought of something and smiled, but he didn't call out to them.

……

After returning to his room, Leonard took off his red gloves tiredly and threw them aside. He took off his windbreaker and hung it by the door. He called "old man" twice in a low voice, but as expected, there was no response.

He said he would sleep for a week or two, and there was really no response. If I hadn't chanted the name of "The Fool" at that time, perhaps the matter would have been irreversible...

Leonard muttered to himself. Just as he sat down on the bed and prepared to take a nap, a deep red light suddenly surged in front of his eyes, enveloping him completely.
