Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 902 The Impending War

Angel had actually long noticed that there were powerful creatures approaching from the spiritual world.

She had felt Mr. Azik's spiritual journey when she was still the Witch of Despair, not to mention now that she had been promoted to Sequence 3. However, since the person who came was a messenger, she was not overly alert. Instead, she was immersed in her own emotions. After a moment, she stretched out her hand and let the letter fall into her hand, pulled by the invisible thread.

“Triss’s letter… She actually managed to sneak into the ruins left by Blood Emperor Alistair Tudor in an abnormal way… Mr. Men, that was Abraham’s High-Sequence Beyonder who had troubled Magician Fors and killed a large number of his family members through the blood curse… According to Triss’s description, He might be a powerful angel who could decipher the Blood Emperor’s ruins.”

Angel opened the envelope and quickly scanned the information inside, muttering after a moment.

The letter mentioned that she was needed to help obtain some flesh, blood or hair of a descendant of Abraham's family, either living or dead. With the blood connection, Triss could use a ritual she had just learned not long ago to contact this still living being and obtain the secret of the Blood Emperor's ruins.

"The Abraham family suffered heavy losses after the Four Emperors War and gradually declined. This is most likely related to Mr. Gate. He was already an angel at that time, or even a Sequence 1 Archangel?
"It seems that this ancient, powerful being has a high chance of having experienced the time when the Blood Emperor Tudor became a god. Perhaps He really knows how to enter the Tudor Ruins... Compared to the Ruins No. 1, which is guarded by royal family members and is extremely difficult to enter, and which Adam has disguised, the other eight closed ruins are actually the weak points of George III's ritual. If we can obtain the entry method, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the success rate of the operation to prevent the Black Emperor from becoming a god...

"But whether the ritual itself will cause harm remains to be tested. I know Mr. Dorian from the Abraham family, but is he willing to give his blood to a high-ranking witch? Well, we can compromise on this point and ask him to hand over the flesh and blood or hair of a dead family member. If that doesn't work, we can entrust Fors. I remember she once buried an old member of the Abraham family.

"Talk to Klein and have him do the preliminary divination?"

Angel held the envelope, wandered around the bedroom for a moment, and made a decision.

"Anyway, I've already changed my clothes and was planning to go to his house..."

She muttered, and stepped into the full-length mirror, her figure quickly disappearing.

On another Wednesday, Angel went to Pacefield Street in the North District as usual, to the office of the "Roen Charity Student Aid Fund" to exercise his rights as a director of the foundation.

Of course, she came mainly to make additional donations.

On Monday, the huge sum promised by Archbishop Anthony Stevenson - a huge sum of pounds from the sale of Baroness Langdon's estate - was transferred into her bank account, bringing her savings to six figures and to the less auspicious figure of £13.

This was enough savings to maintain several expensive properties and live a wealthy life for the rest of his life. The income from the investment alone was enough to pay for all expenses, and there was even some left over... At this moment, Angel finally experienced the happiness of being rich.

Of course, after being promoted to Sequence 3, her desire for gold pounds was no longer as strong as before. The materials and magical items she needed were almost impossible to buy with money. The investment in the East District factory, the gradual establishment of a maritime fleet, and the prospects of a winery in the suburbs also gave her a stable source of income.

Therefore, she decided to follow Klein's example and donate 5000 pounds to the Loen Charity Student Aid Fund, which was currently operating well and had funded a large number of poor students. She would also add more money depending on the situation.

After signing the donation agreement, Angel returned to the lobby on the first floor and was about to go to Audrey's office to sit down when he suddenly discovered that the noble lady was not in the room. Instead, she was riding a two-wheeled bicycle not far from the street where the foundation was located, slowly approaching this side.

bike……

Angel had recently seen many postmen, policemen, and workers riding bicycles in Backlund. This kind of human-powered means of transportation that could adapt to most streets and alleys was very popular among people who had to rush around every day but could not take a carriage or subway for some reason.

But Angel still found it a little unbelievable that a noble girl with a fortune of hundreds of thousands of pounds and a wealthy family would go out on a bicycle that could only be bought for three or five pounds.

A bicycle is probably not as expensive as a lace pattern on her dress...

With such emotion, Angel went out to the street and happened to see Audrey riding her bicycle skillfully to the door of the foundation office building, braking lightly, landing on one foot, getting off the bike sideways, pushing the bicycle to a parking shed at the door and locking it.

There were already quite a few roughly designed bicycles parked there, but Audrey's was very different from them. In addition to its more exquisite design, the front bar was also tilted, allowing ladies to ride it easily in skirts. When getting off the bike, they could also move their feet forward without having to step over the high seat and make an indecent posture.

“Is this a new design?”

Angel asked thoughtfully.

Audrey, wearing a plain yellow long dress and with her blonde hair tied up behind her head, looked like an office lady that could be seen everywhere on the streets of Backlund. She fixed her slightly messy hair and answered:

"Yes, this one is designed for women and is a bit more expensive, but it is expected to sell well... I'll get one to try first."

She stuck out her tongue mischievously, as happy as a child who had got a new toy.

"With the distinguished Miss Audrey Hall trying it out, all the women in Backlund will probably be scrambling to buy it."

Angel joked, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a middle-aged man with an entourage walking towards the Saint Samuel Church not far away. It turned out to be Dwayne Dantès, played by Klein.

Only one more Leonard is missing, and the four-member "Hall of Honesty" team will be complete... Angel complained in his heart, took the initiative to greet the other party and gave him an intimate hug.

The two no longer conceal their close relationship from the outside world, and even deliberately make some intimate actions so that the two identities of "Christine" and "Dawn" can confirm their relationship as soon as possible.

"Mr. Dawn, nice to meet you... I remember you were among those who competed for the shares of Backlund Bicycle Company... It's a pity that you didn't make it to the end." Audrey said suddenly.

"That was because the offer was a bit high at the time, and I was not particularly optimistic about the prospects of this new type of transportation. It turned out that I was wrong."

Klein let go of Angel, glanced at the noble girl, and said with a chuckle.

He is deceiving Audrey again... I remember he said that he got the 10% of the company's shares when he played Sherlock, and then he took the initiative to sell it because the competition was not fierce, and he even raised the price twice. Not to mention that the entire patent design might have been provided by him. He was cheating investors' funds by transferring money from one hand to the other... Angel muttered, pointing to the second floor of the office, and said:
"Go up and rest for a while?"

The other two looked at her with strange eyes.

In the office of Audrey, the foundation director, Angel's personal maid, Audrey's beloved dog Susie, and Klein's butler and bodyguard all stayed in the outer room, leaving the more private inner room as a place for the three to talk.

Of course, except for Angel's maid Aisha, the room was full of Beyonders. Even the golden retriever Susie lying in the corner was almost a Sequence 6 "hypnotist". Klein's bodyguard and butler were disguised by "Admiral of Hell" Ludwell and "Fallen Count" Qiunas respectively. The original butler "Winner" Enuni used the power of a magical item to transform into a piece of meat and sneak into Qiunas' stomach to prevent the sudden increase in the number of servants from attracting attention from others, and then thinking of the deputy director of MI who had been missing for two weeks.

"...I didn't hear much about MI9 during my father and brother's conversation. The 'Dream Walker' who followed me and was hypnotized by me was said to have been sent to Sivellas County, stationed on the border with the Republic of Intis for a long time...I'm afraid this is like exile, a response from the military to the shock I received and the dissatisfaction of my father, Duke Negan."

After closing the doors and windows, the three began to talk about topics that could be discussed in real life, such as the domestic situation and the outcome of some disturbances at the previous dance. As for the truly secret topics, they could only be discussed when the Tarot Club was convened.

"It's better than the southern continent, and the relationship between Intis and us is still good. According to the information revealed by the military personnel I know, Loen is most likely to clash with Feysac, and the time will not be later than the beginning of next year... A local war is probably unavoidable."

Klein said in an emotionless tone.

Is this really a local war? What Adam hopes for, and what His ritual requires, is a world-sweeping change. George III's "Black Emperor" is likely to be promoted under this circumstance. Once the war is ignited, it is likely to sweep across all countries, including Intis.

Angel thought about it, looked at Audrey, and asked:
"What does your father, Earl Hall, think of the current situation?"

She knew that after Hwin's death, the other party had continued to collect relevant information and share it with the members of the Tarot Club.

"Of course he hopes that peace will continue. This is out of his own interests. War will cause economic turmoil, currency depreciation, and reduce my family's wealth... But from a personal perspective, Dad and Hibbert don't want to see war... Unfortunately, not many people hold this idea. Many nobles have noticed the attitude of the royal family and have begun to stand on the other side to promote the progress of this matter."

Hibbert is Audrey's elder brother and the future heir to the Hall family title. With the help of his achievements in the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, he has successfully entered the political arena and has become somewhat famous.

"There is no doubt that someone is manipulating all this. It seems that Hwin's 'disappearance' has no impact on their actions."

Angel commented.

"Under Hvin Rambis's arrangement, I have become the leader of a psychological research team. Apparently, there are more than one such team in the big city of Backlund. They are responsible for affairs in various fields and 'guide' certain people to achieve their desired goals at critical moments."

As Audrey spoke, the three of them looked at each other and saw worry and helplessness in the others' eyes.

The situation has come to this point where it cannot be reversed by the power of just a few people, and it is even difficult to get a glimpse of the full picture.

For example, the actions of the three major churches, the attitudes of their gods, whether the factions within the royal family have reached a consensus, and even how other countries will react... Even as a demigod, Angel felt that all of this was shrouded in fog and he could only see a small area around him.

War may be coming...

----

In the evening, Angel sneaked into the mirror world and came to the "Hat Trick" Hotel at 22 Hope Road, Cherwood District, and found room 2 on the second floor.

She did not enter the room directly through the passage in the mirror, but appeared in the corridor and knocked gently on the door.

After a moment, the door opened a crack from the inside, and Dorian Gray Abraham, who was dressed in formal attire and had broad shoulders and strong arms, poked his head out. After seeing who was coming, he pushed the door open completely and greeted him stiffly:
"Ms. Angelica Sage, thank you for taking the time to meet with me."

He wasn't this respectful last time... Well, that time I asked him for something, this time he asked me for something...

Feeling the difference in the other party's attitude, Angel nodded, entered the room, and after the other party locked the door again, he asked directly:

"You asked Ms. Fors to deliver the message. What's the matter?"

Dorian came to the tea table, poured a cup of black tea for himself and the guest, and then spoke:

"There are two things I need your help with. First, several people from the Tamara family want to meet you..."
