Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 775 Intelligence Exchange Meeting

"What kind of items do you need? How much money do you have?"

The Hanged Man asked casually. He was not actually planning to sell the few important items on him, but that did not stop him from trying to get some information from the new member and get to know his financial strength for the sake of future cooperation.

His question was so straightforward, but that was the characteristic of the Sailor Path... Leonard's expression froze, but fortunately, the gray fog blocked it and no one else noticed.

"I don't know..." Seeing the ambiguous looks from the others, he immediately added, "Any type will do. It's best if it's more aggressive, has fewer negative effects, and can be used covertly. It should be at the level of a '2' grade seal. Um, I mean, at the level of Sequence 6 to Sequence 5."

As soon as he said it, he realized that something was wrong and immediately changed his statement. However, a series of meaningful glances had already made him realize that he had exposed his identity as an official Beyonder, or at least someone related to one.

This is like shouting "I am a Nighthawk" at an underground party. It's too easy to be besieged. Fortunately, our Tarot Club is not such a low-level organization... Angel suppressed his laughter and interjected:
"Sequence 5 magical items usually sell for 8 to 1 pounds here. If the effect is good and the side effects are acceptable, the price will be higher."

She did not mention the price of "Lemanno's Travel Notes", a magical item that was obviously beyond the ordinary level, so as not to scare her former teammates.

As for her own magical item, the "Hypocrisy" ring has been replaced by reasonable makeup and a mirror substitute that can be disguised, and the price is also relatively reasonable. The problem is that it is just a functional item, not the offensive equipment that Leonard needs. The "Reaper Legion" and "Nightmare" abilities are a perfect match. They can make the opponent be surrounded by ten Sequence 5 soldiers in a dream and die unclearly. However, with Leonard's current ability, it is difficult to control it. It is easy for him to be "backstabbed" by his own subordinates and go to the underworld with the enemy in the dream...

"Death Wing" is just right, but it's a demigod-level magical item, and it's stained with Mr. Azik's blood, so I can't just sell it...

After thinking it over, Angel found that he had nothing to sell and could only sigh secretly.

The other members only expressed their concern about the transaction and did not bring out suitable items. The blazing fire that had been burning in Leonard's heart was extinguished by disappointment, but he also knew that suitable magical items were hard to come by, so he was not too disappointed, but waited for the party to enter the next stage.

The long-awaited "Sun" Derrick immediately shared his experience of exploring the ancient city of Noth and hunting "Shaper" with the chief of Silver City last week, which amazed everyone.

Upon hearing that there were a large number of humanoid creatures there, and knowing that the "God-Forsaken Land" was almost abandoned and that it was impossible for such a stronghold to exist, the "Hanged Man" curiously asked for details. Klein secretly listened in and felt that this ancient city was somewhat similar to the foggy town he had mistakenly entered.

He thought that there might be a High-Sequence Beyonder hidden there.

As for the two new members, "Judge" Hugh Dilcha had already known the secret of "God-Forsaken Land" after Fors's advance introduction, so he did not have any special reaction. However, "Star" Leonard's mind kept echoing with keywords such as "God-Forsaken Land", "Silver City", and "Giant King's Court", and his mind was filled with various thoughts.

I originally thought that the members from all over the world that Mr. Fool mentioned were just from different countries, or they might be pirates wandering on the sea... Leonard muttered secretly as he secretly glanced at The Hanged Man.

Only now did he understand the true value of this party.

Unfortunately, I have nothing to say. The information inside the "Red Gloves" cannot be leaked, and I think other people also know the many news in the newspapers...

Just as he was hesitating whether to tell a few jokes about the Nighthawks, Miss Judgment, who was short and only had her head sticking out from the table, looked at Queen Angel and said:

"MI9 is ​​investigating Angelica Thatch."

Ok?
Leonard, who had just thought of a few bad jokes and whose head was a little confused, suddenly perked up. From the "judgment" action, he realized that the other party's words were directly directed at the "Queen" Angel.

And Angelica Sage is one of the latter identities.

How did Miss "Judge", who had just joined the Tarot Club with me, know this? Well, she glanced at "Magician". They knew each other before, and she learned the identities of other members from her friends in advance? So, other people should also know that "Queen" is equal to "Golden Queen"...

He seemed to understand something and looked at Angel, who was already accustomed to the focused gazes of the Tarot Club members at this time, and was not surprised that "Judge" Hugh Dilcha could find out the inside information of MI9, because Sherman had already revealed that the bounty hunter served in the intelligence agency of the Loen military.

This could be considered as her proactive goodwill, showing everyone her power and "value". After all, she was a wild Beyonder who often hung out at the bottom of the East District, and was much more mature and pragmatic than Leonard... Angel thought about it and asked frankly:

"What are they doing?"

"The intelligence team has collected all the information leading up to the sinking of the Black Tulip and the killing of Admiral Hell. We believe that the Golden Queen and her flagship have reached a combat capability similar to that of the Mysterious Queen. Her bounty will be increased to 45 pounds, but it will be announced after some time."

Hugh had no shame in betraying his master.

"In addition..." She glanced at the "world" secretly, "They believe that the 'Golden Queen' and the equally famous crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow have a relationship that goes beyond friendship..."

I know that!

Leonard's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had finally reached an area that he was familiar with.

Gehrman Sparrow even proposed to Angelica Thatch in front of me, and took out a tacky gold ring... The corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but want to say these things, but spiritual vigilance and respect for his teammates stopped him.

Secretly looking at the Queen Angel, Leonard found that she was not shaken by these "rumors". Instead, the World Klein chuckled and said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't worry about these things."

Indeed, their identities were essentially fake, so there was no need to worry about being investigated. Moreover, MI9 hadn't even found out about Irene Watson and Sherlock Moriarty... Leonard thought with some pride, and a desire to confide surged in his heart.

After considering it, he said:

"I heard that there was a fierce battle in West Balam Uttar Pradesh last week, and a defected Archbishop of the Church of Darkness was killed." He vaguely revealed some information about Ince Zangwill's death, without giving the specific time, place, and participants, so it could not be considered a leak. Moreover, he could look at the reactions of other members to the incident and judge whether their organization and the information channels were timely.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the Hanged Man sitting on the right hand side of the Fool smiled and took over the conversation:

"My intelligence mentioned that the deceased was Archbishop Ince Zangwill, who stole the Sealed Artifact 0-08 of the Church of Evernight. It is said that after leaving the church, he became a demigod and killed many official Beyonders who tried to capture him. After his death this time, the Sealed Artifact is nowhere to be found. Perhaps it was recovered by the Church of Evernight when they were cleaning up the battlefield, or perhaps it fell into the hands of someone else."

He knew so much... Leonard was stunned, feeling that his initial judgment of the "Hanged Man" - a pirate or sea adventurer from the "Sailor" path - was wrong. The other party was very likely a member of an official organization, and judging from the potion path and the control of the situation in the southern continent, it was very likely that he was from the "Storm Church".

The "Hanged Man" did not deliberately conceal this fact, which meant that in the Tarot Club, each member had a certain degree of openness about his or her identity, which was more conducive to mutual transactions, exchange of intelligence, and even issuing commissions involving the other side's camp. Here, the secular concept of "loyalty" might not be so applicable... He thought of a lot in an instant, and this way of thinking based on the exchange of interests was exactly what Pales Zoroast had tried to teach him over the years.

Besides, no matter what, after reading Mr. Fool’s honorable name, I am also his person...

After understanding this, he also had an accurate understanding of his future position in the Tarot Club.

At this moment, there was a light tapping sound on the table, which attracted the attention of everyone who was chewing on the information just now. After realizing that it was Mr. Fool's action, their backs straightened instantly.

“Oh, this will change the times.” The Fool chuckled, his tone somewhat lamenting, as if he was evaluating the actions of a younger generation, “Adam is closer to Godhood.”

This sentence caused all members to have different emotional changes, some of which could not even be concealed by the gray fog.

"The 'Angel of Fantasy' Adam, the legendary figure who existed before the Cataclysm, has become active again?" Alger couldn't help but tremble.

"This will indeed be a major event that will lead to changes in the times. You know, since the Fifth Epoch, when the gods stopped walking the earth, no new gods have been born in the world..." Cattleya lowered her head, her eyes flashing behind her glasses, and she couldn't wait to share this matter with the mysterious queen.

Although the members living in Backlund did not have as deep a sense of gods and "Sequence 0" as those at sea, their instinctive fear of gods also made them tremble all over and their minds confused.

Only Leonard immediately thought of the blond priest who had appeared beside everyone after the battle and announced the end of Ince Zangwill in a chanting tone.

He, no, He is Adam? He is only one step away from godhood. Could it be that He is already Sequence 1?
But what does all this have to do with Ince Zangwill and "0-08"?
With more and more questions in his mind, Leonard secretly glanced at "Judgment", who had just joined the Tarot Club today like him, and found that the other party's short figure did not show the same expression as him, which was shaken by shock and high-frequency thinking.

She should have gotten relevant information from Miss Magician in advance, at least about Adam's identity, but I knew nothing. Angel and Klein didn't tell me anything at all...

Thinking of this, he looked at the Queen with an inexplicable emotion. He sighed as she tilted her head and looked back at him in confusion, then looked at the World Klein.

Why are you looking at me? How dare I say this in the real world? Well, it seems that many people don’t know about this. I can take this opportunity to remind them... Feeling Leonard’s unfriendly gaze, Klein smiled lowly in the voice of the "world" and said:
"Adam is the brother of Amon the Blasphemer, the child of the ancient sun god, the Angel of Imagination among the eight Angel Kings of ancient times, and on par with Amon the Angel of Time."

As he spoke, he looked at the "Queen" Angel encouragingly. The latter understood and took over the conversation:

"Ince Zangwill's death was part of Adam's plan. He took away 0-08 and made up for the last missing piece in his advancement to Sequence 0. Perhaps all he needs is a ritual involving the gods or the entire world, and he can ascend to the throne and become a true god."

This is not speculation, but a reasonable assumption based on the existing clues.

Firstly, as the "King of Angels", Adam must have been a Sequence 1 of the "Audience" path thousands of years ago, and the "0-08" that He had been planning for a long time but had to wait until He had exhausted all His strength before He could appear and seize it must also be a seal of the same sequence. This means that Adam currently possesses at least two of the three Sequence 0 characteristics required for advancement to Sequence 1, or even all of them!

Apart from the "uniqueness" that Angel didn't quite understand, He was only one key ritual away from taking the Sequence 0 potion. From a few "blasphemous cards", it can be seen that the relevant rituals are either related to gods or need to affect the entire world, so the "audience" must be the same.

After hearing "The World" and "The Queen" speak one after another and mention the matters of "Angel of Fantasy" and "0-08", everyone in the Tarot Club fell silent again.

In addition to realizing that the "world" was probably explaining Adam's identity to the newly joined Mr. "Star", they also smelled another key message:
When Adam seized the "0" level seal, and when the defected Archbishop Ince Zangwill died, the two were most likely present at the scene, or even directly involved in the incident!

----

On the coast of Desi Bay, on a passenger ship heading north, Daly Simone, wearing a black robe and with no eye shadow or blush on her face, slowly came to the door of Leonard Mitchell's single cabin and knocked on the door.

After several attempts, Daly frowned when she received no response.

It is now past three in the afternoon. Not to mention the "Insomniacs" who hardly need sleep, even ordinary people should not enter a deep dream. Did something happen to Leonard?

She was about to communicate with the natural spirits around her and ask if there was anything unusual in the room when she noticed someone walking out from the corner on the other side of the corridor. When he saw her, he was startled and stopped a few steps away.

That was Dunn Smith, who had taken off his windbreaker and was only wearing a shirt and vest, with a raised hairline and deep eyes.

Sorry, due to health reasons, I need to take a day off tomorrow (Sunday), and will update as usual next Monday (づ￣ 3￣)づ~☆
