Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 795 Making a fuss out of a molehill
Swish-

Not far away, an agile figure quickly passed through the woods, pushed aside the low branches, and seemed not to notice the messy battlefield here. It quickly ran towards the Elk Manor where the lights had dimmed and the servants had fallen asleep.

As she ran, beads of sweat appeared on her face. It was Hazel Macht, who was wearing clothes that were convenient for movement and had her long dark green hair tied casually behind her head.

In less than two minutes, she arrived at her own manor with an anxious look on her face. She skillfully climbed over the low brick wall into the garden, tiptoed around to the kitchen and wine cellar area at the back door, and her eyes swept over the lifted grass, the dead rats on the ground, and the overturned tables and chairs. Her face turned pale.

Where's the teacher? Has...someone found him?
Did he escape after the battle, or... become one of the corpses?
An ominous thought flashed through her mind, and Hazel subconsciously grabbed the necklace on her chest, ready to infuse it with spirituality and analyze various possibilities based on clues around her. Then she remembered that she had used the ability of "decryption" to find out the truth about the illusion in her room.

What should I do? Ask the maid and the butler? But I sneaked out, so my father and mother will definitely find out... Or, use the "deception" ability in the necklace, so that they can forget everything afterwards... But I don't want to do this to ordinary people, it's not right...

Hesitantly, Hazel clenched the necklace made of seven emerald green stones surrounded by diamonds, and her palm was almost pierced by its sharp edges.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of shoes rubbing against the grass behind her. Amon, wearing a black vest and black trousers, walked slowly towards her with a smile on his face. His right eye, hidden behind the lens, was flashing an inexplicable light.

"Teacher!" Hazel, who noticed the movement, turned her head and looked over here, but her eyes were directed towards Amon's feet wearing black leather shoes, as if she was looking at a child less than half a meter tall, "Are you okay?"

The figure reflected in her deep brown eyes was not a human figure, but a gray-white mouse that was slightly larger than its peers and had smooth fur.

The mouse stretched out its right paw, pressed its right eye socket, and replied with a smile:
"Yes."

After ending the magic mirror communication, Angel did not return to his home immediately. Instead, he used the passage in the mirror to go to the East District of Backlund and came to a secluded apartment. He emerged from a full-length mirror in one of the suites that had an independent bedroom, bathroom, and even kitchenware.

This apartment, which is considered luxurious in the East District, was rented by her using Sherman's connections. It is usually vacant and is only used as a safe house to isolate clues after certain operations and avoid being tracked.

After cautiously using a simple magic mirror to divine and determine that there was no danger around, Angel heaved a sigh of relief, sat on a wooden chair next to the coffee table, and checked the various items he had brought with him, in case Amon had stolen them without his knowledge in the previous battle.

The "Iron Knight" characteristics and "Deathwing" placed in the mirror space, the "Reaper Legion" with three soldiers with bruised faces and noses after betrayal are all there, as are the rings and necklaces worn on the body, and it seems that even Amon dare not steal the "Secret Holy Symbol"... The talisman, oh, if he steals the talisman, especially the "petrification" that has been activated, I can deal with him directly... Could it be that Amon also has some sense and knows that I have some hot bombs hidden on my body?

Muttering to himself, Angel put away the equipment and items one by one. As soon as he raised his head, he saw three figures of different heights and sizes in the corner of the living room.

"Klein..."

She stood up and quickly glanced at the three people. She found that the waist of the "winner" Enuni was bulging under the effect of the faceless man, holding up his pants and making his figure look bloated. The "Admiral of Hell" who was missing one leather shoe stood behind him with one foot high and one foot low, and his socks were covered with mud. The owner of the two secret dolls, Klein, had lost the restraint of the bow tie at the collar of his shirt under his tuxedo and had come loose, revealing his Adam's apple and some chest muscles. She couldn't help but laugh.

This reminded her of her battle with Amon's clone. Fortunately, the other party was only concerned with stealing extraordinary abilities during the fierce battle and did not touch the clothes.

"You also encountered His clone?"

"No, it was all done by the 'Thief' demigod when he was dying... Of course, I did encounter Amon's clone, so I didn't even have time to look for the demigod's extraordinary characteristics, and I left there in a hurry..."

Klein explained angrily and asked the two secret dolls to go to the bedroom closet to pick out some clothes that had been prepared there so that they could change at any time. He then sat at the other end of the coffee table and recounted his previous experiences in the moonlight shining into the room from the window.

"…The moment I saw Amon, I teleported away with my secret doll and went to South Wales. I did a reverse divination again and confirmed that I was not parasitized before returning here."

After calmly explaining the process of being “disinfected” by the gray fog as using a paper man to perform counter-divination, Klein looked at Angel, who was still using the “hypocrisy” ring to disguise himself as an ordinary person, and asked:
"What about you? When you said 'other Amon' before, did you mean you also encountered Amon's clone?"

"Yes, in the process of tracking and protecting Hazel, I met one of His clones..."

After describing the battle in detail, Angel took out the three "Time Worms" hidden in the mirror space and placed them on the coffee table.

Looking at the translucent bug shining with enchanting light under the crimson moonlight, Klein's breathing became heavy.

These are three "Time Worms", which means three "Luck Stealer" spells that can completely change the situation in the battle with the demigod!
You know, the price of Leonard's "grandfather" falling into a deep sleep was just handing over two "worms of time". Clearly sensing the joy spreading from Klein, Angel smiled slightly and pushed these curled up translucent bugs over:

"Use them to make that kind of spell. I took them to Saint Samuel Church and saw the Beyonder properties slip away. I also prayed to the goddess. Amon should not be able to track them down."

“Well,” Klein knew Angel’s character, and he was the only one who could make the talisman, so he did not refuse and took Amon’s “gift”. “I’ll give you two after they are made... No, I’ll only make one ‘Luck Stealer’ for now, and keep the rest to ask the ‘Parasite’ on Leonard to see if they have other uses.”

The two quickly decided who would own the only loot of the night, and then summarized their experience in dealing with "thieves."

Angel believes that the key points are nothing more than two: parasitism and theft.

The former requires Amon to separate a "worm of time" into the target's body, so frequently changing one's position can be avoided as much as possible, or using secret dolls, substitutes and illusions to allow the precious worm of time to enter the wrong target's body.

The latter can steal extraordinary abilities, magical items, and even certain conceptual things, such as location and the distance between two things. Angel has experienced this when using the "Parasite" gloves.

"In addition, Amon mentioned the inconsistency of my fate, which means that he has the same ability to observe fate as Will Auceptin, and can even change fate... He gave his disease-infected 'fate' to a fish during the battle. This may be the manifestation of 'stealing' at a higher level..."

Angel said with a frown, having a feeling that this would be an extremely difficult ability to deal with.

This time, we only encountered a Sequence 4 clone. If more and stronger Amons attack us, I am afraid that I and Klein will not be able to handle it at all... Thinking of this, Angel felt strongly worried about his lack of lethality. The idea of ​​using the Beyonder characteristics of the "Iron Knight" to make a weapon came to his mind again.

Next time you have a Tarot session, look for Ms. Hermit and contact her Alchemist!
Oh, and the Tarot Club!

Angel's eyes lit up and he said:

"We can communicate with 'Star' and Leonard alone at the Tarot Club and ask him to ask the relatively peaceful 'parasite' in his body if there is any way to deal with Amon. He seems to have been avoiding the pursuit of the 'blasphemer'. He should have some experience and skills... There, even Amon will not be able to detect our plan, just like dealing with 0-..."

Thinking that the sealed object was now in the hands of Amon's brother, the "Angel of Fantasy" Adam, Angel immediately shut up.

Klein also thought of this at this time and nodded. He had a faster way, which was to pray to himself and ask the Fool for help as the "world" to hold a temporary meeting. However, he couldn't tell Angel at this time, so he could only wait until late at night to secretly pull her into the gray fog.

Just say it was a request from the "world". Haha, I am the world and the world is me. Why am I like a thief... Klein muttered to himself. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly found a figure beside him.

Opposite him, Angel also noticed something and turned his head sharply to look towards the bedroom.

Where the two secret dolls should have been standing, there was a lady wearing a patched linen robe and a bark belt around her waist.

Her face was so ordinary that it was forgettable at first sight, with her long black hair casually draped behind her. She walked slowly towards them on the cold floor with bare feet covered in dust and scars. Her dark eyes made the two of them feel peaceful and calm from the bottom of their hearts.

"Ms. Arianna!"

Angel exclaimed, standing up from her chair and drawing a crimson moon on her chest as a greeting to the Mother Superior of the Abbey of Night, the head of the thirteen Archbishops, and the man who had given her the "Secret Holy Symbol" to infiltrate the "Witch Cult".

Klein had heard about this archbishop in charge of the Monastery of Night from Angel many times. He stood up and bowed, feeling confused and terrified.

He was the one who embezzled thousands of pounds of pensions from the church and broke into Chanis Gate to steal important items...a person favored by God?
"Praise the goddess."

Arianna extended her right hand from under her robe, tapped her chest four times, and returned the salute. Her calm eyes looked at Klein and Angel in turn, finally stopping at the latter.

"The Goddess allowed me to listen to your needs."

Her words seemed to rise from the bottom of a deep lake, bringing with them a calming atmosphere, but her words made Angel open his eyes wide in surprise.

I, I just prayed and reported them while trying to get rid of Amon's possible pursuit. How come... the goddess actually sent an angel from the earth to Backlund to help solve the problem in person?
Isn't this a bit of an overreaction?
