Mystery: Good Witch
Chapter 781 Doubts abound
Chapter 781 Doubts abound
Rationally speaking, Klein didn't think that his "fellow countryman" who left the light cocoon above the gray fog two hundred years ago and lived a new life was still alive. However, his daughter Bernadette Gustave obviously didn't think so. This "mysterious queen" not only went to various places to search for all traces of her father, but also assigned Cattleya, a "hermit" who joined the Tarot Club, to present her father's diary many times, seeking an illusory hope:
Russell Gustave is still alive.
Of course, from the "Blasphemy Card" and Roselle's diary, it can be seen that there are many ways for a "Black Emperor" to be resurrected. The nine mausoleums prepared during the promotion are an important component. Even if eight of them are destroyed, as long as one is left, the "Black Emperor" can be resurrected from it and return to the world.
Of course, if this situation really happened, Caesar the Great would have ruled his Intis Empire again long ago. How could there be no movement for more than a hundred years?
However, this did not prevent Klein from making a corresponding interpretation from Bernadette's perspective, and judged that the ghost ship "Ghost Empire" might contain a tomb of Roselle.
So, Nast has been looking for traces of the "Ghost Empire". Is he holding the same hope as Bernadette? No, he shouldn't be such a loyal person. Maybe he just wants to find the hope of promotion. Or maybe, he learned from some legends that the "Ghost Empire" contains the Beyonder characteristics of the high-sequence "Arbitrator". According to my judgment, "Lawyers" can jump to this adjacent path at certain sequences...
This tiny hope was enough to make a High-Sequence Beyonder who should have reached Sequence 3 give up everything.
Analyzing these possibilities in his mind, Klein directed the marionette and said:
"I will convey your wishes, but there is no guarantee that she will attend."
"That's enough. I believe that sincerity and interests are enough to win her cooperation," Nast said without expecting too much. He spoke in a majestic voice, making the walls of the captain's room buzz. "Then, let me answer your question: My impression of the Emperor is that no one is more suitable to be the 'Black Emperor' than Him."

When Angel left the Archbishop's office and returned to the ground, it was time for St. Samuel's Church to stop receiving believers. Her personal maid, Elsa, became dull-eyed after listening to several sermons in a row and sat motionless on a bench in the corner. Apart from her, there were only a few believers who were reluctant to leave, the cleaning servants, and... Leonard Mitchell.
Seeing his colleague talking with Bishop Elektra in front of the altar, Angel quickly glanced at him, smiled at the bishop who was looking at him, called his maid, and left the church.
She was still thinking about her previous conversation with Archbishop Anthony and "Sword of the Goddess" Cecima.
The two colleagues approved of her treatment of Triss, believing that since the witch already had the motive to take revenge on the Loen royal family, the military, and the "Witch Cult", she could be allowed to act freely under supervision and help the church investigate the truth about the smog.
On the other hand, if Triss were to cause some disaster that would harm innocent people, Angel, who was keeping an eye on her, would have to deal with it immediately without leaving any hidden dangers. After all, this witch had been responsible for many murders in the Clover case and when she was arranging sacrificial ceremonies in the city of Uttingen. She was the kind of criminal who didn't even need to be reported for killing someone.
Moreover, during the conversation, Cecima also revealed an important piece of information: the servant of the goddess, the headmaster of the Night Monastery, the earthly angel Ms. Arianna will come to Backlund in the near future.
This violated the common agreement of the three major churches not to arbitrarily dispatch "0" level seals and angels into this city.
The fact that the Goddess Church took the risk of letting Arianna come here means that the Holy Temple believes that there is a high possibility that an incident will occur in this city in the near future that will require the power of Sequence 2 angels to resolve.
Did the "Witch Cult" actually have other plans in secret, or did the "Aurora Society" revive and want to summon the evil god again? It couldn't be because of the follow-up events of the heavy smog. Could it be that the church thought that continuing the investigation might be strongly obstructed by the royal family and the military, and they might even mobilize the equivalent of a "0" level seal or a sequence 2 power...
Thinking of this, Angel became more worried about the subsequent "mission".
……
Watching the woman with long black hair fluttering in the breeze and purple eyes as bright as gems slowly walk away, Leonard turned his head thoughtfully, only to find that Bishop Elektra in front of him was still looking towards the main entrance of the prayer hall with a faint smile on her face.
He wouldn't be attracted to the young, beautiful, and mysterious Miss Theresa, right? Although she does have the looks and temperament that people of all ages, personalities, and even genders like, you are already married... No, there are rumors that Elektra's wife is almost half his age. Could it be that the bishop likes this kind of style... Leonard's face changed again and again, and finally he couldn't help asking:
"Your Excellency, is there any problem with that young lady?"
"Problem? No, of course not!" Elektra came back to her senses and looked around. Seeing that no believers or servants were concerned about this, she lowered her voice and continued, "This is just a reflection of my belief in the goddess and my practice of the teachings... Perhaps after a while, this lady will form a family with another devout believer. The chapter on family in the Apocalypse of the Night warns us not to give up the pursuit of love because of differences in status or age."
He seemed to be emphasizing that his marriage was in accordance with the doctrine... Leonard narrowed his eyes and asked curiously:
"Who is that lucky gentleman?"
"You should have seen him here many times. He is Dwayne Dantes, who donated tens of thousands of pounds of shares to establish the Loen Charity Student Aid Fund."
Bishop Elektra replied with a smile on his face, not noticing the sudden dull eyes and expression of the "Red Glove" in front of him.
What? That Dwayne Dantès, who was also a follower of Mr. Fool, and who had probably lived from the Fourth Epoch to the present, and who knew the old man?
Leonard had several question marks in his mind, most of which were about the mysterious middle-aged gentleman, and a few pointed to "Christine Theresa". The latter did not show any abnormality in his several dream examinations, but only revealed her "gray business" in Trier and some aspirations for extraordinary power and adventurous life, which was consistent with the information the Goddess Church had investigated through other channels.
An old monster who has lived for at least a thousand years also... also likes this tune like Elektra?
He pursed his lips and looked at the bishop who was smug about having brought together a pair of "believers of the goddess", but ultimately did not remind him that there might be something wrong.
Never mind. Even the old man told me not to mind that guy’s business. Besides, we are all followers of Mr. Fool now. We’ll meet each other sooner or later. Let’s just let it go… Leonard’s carelessness finally worked. He straightened his windbreaker with only one button fastened. Finally, he bowed to the dark holy emblem above the altar, turned around and left St. Samuel’s Church. Under the brighter moonlight than usual, he returned to his home at 7 Pinster Street.
As soon as he took off his windbreaker, a slightly old voice appeared in his mind:
"Were you just thinking about me?"
The old man woke up?
Leonard showed a look of joy, threw himself into the soft sofa, and was a little excited, but subconsciously lowered his voice and said:
"Of course not. I was chatting with a bishop... Old man, didn't you say you wanted to rest for two weeks?"
"That was expected. Apparently, I recovered quite well in your body." Pales Zoroast replied jokingly, "Tell me about what happened recently. I can sense that your fate has been disturbed. It seems that the 'Luck Stealer' played a certain role."
After making himself a cup of coffee, Leonard described in detail how he communicated with his former colleague Klein through letters, how he got the "Creeping Hunger" as a supplement to join the battlefield, how he could not look directly at Ince Zangwill who had unfolded an incomplete mythical creature form, and could only recite the name of "The Fool", how he used the "Luck Stealer" to reverse the situation, and watched Klein kill the rebellious archbishop and successfully ascend to demigod, and finally... told the "parasite" in his body about the process of proposing to another colleague on the spot.
Of course, he did not forget Mr. Fool's advice and told him all about his experience of joining the Tarot Club.
"'0-08' really lured Adam here. Hey, it seems that I followed my destiny and fell asleep after extracting the 'Worm of Time', and I just happened to avoid Him."
There was a hint of emotion in the old voice.
"Wait, wait a minute, how can you say His name? You can't even think about it!"
Leonard immediately broke out in a few drops of sweat. He stood up from the sofa in a panic, almost spilling his coffee. He looked around and felt that the mysterious blond priest had appeared in his room and was standing in a corner admiring him talking to himself.
"It seems that the Fool has taught you a lot, but don't worry. Even if I say His name, He will think it is someone else... However, He may have discovered the existence of a Parasite in your body at the scene. It's just that I was asleep at the time, so He didn't know who it was. This is our luck. Otherwise, if He knew, it would be the same as Amon knowing."
Pales said "Hey" again, not seeming to care.
It seems that the old man has some means to fight against Ya... against the prying of that existence. Should we say that he is worthy of being another angel... Leonard muttered, and told Pallez all the things he heard in the Tarot Club, such as "Angel King" and "Red Angel", and got a satisfactory answer.
Of course, the old and the young had some disagreements on certain issues. Pales believed that the "Fool" and the Goddess Church seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding, so no one came to investigate Leonard and Daly, and tacitly accepted their "abnormality". Leonard felt that only Klein's resurrection was under the surveillance of the church, and he used this to form a secret force to fight against "0-08". As for the Tarot Club, which was no different from a secret sect, it was not under their surveillance.
Pales was full of energy when he woke up again. Leonard couldn't stop arguing with him, and finally had to give up the topic. His eyes suddenly changed, and his tone became strange. He asked in a low voice:
"Old man, do you think it is more likely that a Sequence 9 Assassin will be promoted to Sequence 3 within a year, or that an 'ageless' witch will take a fancy to the young Nighthawk and stay by his side forever, watching him grow stronger?"
This time, the old voice in his head fell silent again.
Leonard didn't seem to care about the other party's answer. He continued in a low voice:
"Why doesn't any witch like me? Could it be that... he is the real protagonist?"
"Ah."
Pales ended today's topic with a sneer.
