Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 903 Tamara's Request
Tamara's family?
Angel was a little confused when he heard this unexpected last name.

She was not unaware of this ancient family that rose to prominence in the Fourth Epoch and had followed emperors such as Solomon and Tudor. She was just curious about how the other party contacted Dorian Abraham and why they wanted to meet her.

After all, as far as she knew, the only members of the Tamara family who had appeared publicly were those who belonged to the "Spiritual Society", and they were peripheral members of the evil organization that was closely connected with the Witch Cult. In addition, there might be a small number of family branches hiding in different countries, without any public activities.

Fortunately, Dorian did not keep the secret and continued:

"They are not members of the Gnosis Society, but conservatives hiding in the Kingdom of Loen who still adhere to the Judgment Path... They not only came to me, but also found other members of the Abraham family who have some connection with me, hoping to meet the Golden Queen."

Directly mentioning the "Golden Queen" Angelica... Angel's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

She and Dorian had only met once, in exchange for killing the traitor of the Abraham family, "Mr. X" Louis Wayne, in exchange for some secret history of the Fourth Epoch. This meeting was not known to many people except a few members of the Tarot Club. As a member of a secret family, Dorian could not publicize this matter everywhere.

As for divination and prophecy, it was difficult to get effective feedback after Angel was promoted to demigod and often traveled to various places through the mirror world while wearing the "Secret Holy Emblem". Dorian also seemed to have some means of keeping secrets, making it difficult for outside forces to spy on him.

After thinking for a moment, Angel thought of another possibility:
Dorian did not keep the death of the traitor "Mr. X" a secret within the family. After the death of the "traveler", Gehrman Sparrow, who made several public appearances, used the "teleportation" ability of "Creeping Hunger". If one is willing to look for clues, it is not difficult to connect the two. After all, there are very few living "apprentices" of Pathway Sequence 5.

Then they found me who had a scandal with him... Well, it wasn't really a scandal, but the problem was indeed with Abraham. Some of their members were still in contact with this family that had an intermarriage in the Fourth Epoch?

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Angel asked:
"What do they want from me?"

"They didn't go into too much detail, but they mentioned the capital of Intis, Trier, and... the problems in the 'Mirror World.'" Dorian frowned, his expression becoming tense, as if he was recalling what the other party had said. "They said they would hand over the information they knew, provided that you cooperate with them."

If Angel had only heard the word "mirror world", she might have thought that it was referring to the space opened up and used by witches with mirror magic, but combined with the special place name Trier, she immediately thought of the "special mirror world" that gave birth to the evil mirror man.

But isn't this the problem faced by the witch cult and the witches? At most, the pollution from the "Fourth Epoch Trier" has led to the emergence of many other "mirror people". What does this have to do with the Tamaras who have taken root in the Kingdom of Loen?
Hmm, Trier in the Fourth Epoch, the Tamara family... Angel grasped a clue and continued to ask:
"Did the Tamara family live in Trier for a long time in the Fourth Age?"

"In Tudor's time, yes."

Dorian's somewhat tense expression became relaxed, as if he had returned to an area he was familiar with.

"The Tamara family followed the 'Black Emperor' during the Solomon Empire, more specifically during the First Empire, and became a relatively small noble family in the empire. Until the establishment of the United Empire, they followed Alistair Tudor and secretly supported this tyrant who was not yet the 'Blood Emperor' at the time. Eventually, after the Tudor Empire and the Trunsoest Empire split, they gained their due status and became one of Tudor's five angel families.

"And the capital of the Tudor Empire is located in the present-day Trier area."

This middle-aged man, who was only Sequence 7 but knew the history of the Fourth Epoch like the back of his hand due to his family inheritance, spoke eloquently.

"The First Empire?" Angel asked casually.

"This is to distinguish it from the Second Solomon Empire during the 'Four Emperors' War'. Although their rulers were both 'Black Emperor' Solomon, there was a 'generation gap' of several decades in between..."

Dorian replied.

The period... According to the records within the church, as well as the secret knowledge I got from various places, combined with the rituals and characteristics of the "Black Emperor", this should be the time when Solomon died, but the mausoleum was not completely destroyed, and he was finally resurrected... It seems that after the death of the "Black Emperor", it is not immediately a choice between resurrection and complete destruction. The hope that Emperor Roselle is still alive has increased...

Moreover, the Tamara family followed the "Blood Emperor" and indeed had a connection with Trier in the Fourth Era. According to the "Four Emperors' War" in history, they should have experienced this war that caused Trier to be polluted by various forces, and then they were hunted down by the nobles supported by the Seven Gods, so that they completely fell apart...

It seems that they may indeed know about Trier's "special mirror world"... I just don't know if they have suffered some kind of contamination and have been passed down to this day because of the continuation of their bloodline like Abraham, or if they covet the legacy left by their ancestors and are preparing to return to Trier in the Fourth Epoch to obtain their own share of power...

After figuring this out, Angel continued to ask:

"How are they going to meet? Has a time and place been set?"

She was still somewhat wary of this. If this branch of the Tamara family was actually contaminated by Trier in the Quaternary Period, it might also be targeted by the "Man in the Mirror". At this time, it would have been completely replaced from the inside and become a bridgehead for the "Man in the Mirror" to counterattack the real world!
"Those Tamaras left behind summoning spells for spirit world messengers. I hope you will contact them and confirm a meeting time."

Dorian replied stiffly, pulling out a beautiful envelope from his pocket and handing it to Angel, who opened it and glanced at the contents of the letter:
"A spirit roaming in the upper realm, a friendly creature bound by order, and a messenger belonging exclusively to Alysia Tamara."

After memorizing this common three-part spell, Angel waved his hand, causing the letter and envelope to turn into ashes in the black flames. He then banished the ashes to the "mirror world" to completely eliminate all traces. He then said to Dorian, who was looking at the black flames with some caution, "I'll contact them at a certain time. What about the other thing you mentioned?"

She could clearly feel that "bringing a message to Tamara" was just the appetizer, and what was to be discussed next was the main reason why Dorian requested a meeting.

"It's like this..." The middle-aged man with broad shoulders and strong arms took a deep breath and said as if he had mustered up his courage, "I would like to entrust you and your friends to help solve some of the problems my family is facing."

"Like the haunting of 'Mr. X' Louis Wain?"

Angel's straightforward question made Dorian's expression a little stiff. After a moment, he forced out a new smile and nodded.
"Last month, a branch of Abraham who lived in seclusion in Limon City, Jianhai County, lost contact with all seven members. After other members used various methods to confirm, they were all dead... Among them were elderly people and underage children."

Was he being hunted by his enemies? Abraham had been in decline for many years, and there was a curse on his bloodline. It was said that it was difficult for new mid-sequence Beyonders to appear. However, he was in charge of many high-level seals and possessed the wealth and knowledge left over from the Fourth Epoch. It was not surprising that he was being watched and coveted by others... Angel muttered, trying to see grief or sympathy on Dorian's face, but he only sensed indifference and numbness.

This shouldn't be the first time he's encountered something like this...

"No one dared to investigate the scene because they were worried about subsequent traps. However, based on clues, the Council of Elders can confirm that the murderer is a non-family member trained by us, the former 'Traveler', who has now become a demigod, Butis. After his betrayal, he became a believer of the 'True Creator' and was called the 'Secret Saint'. He has always hated all Abrahams. As long as there are any clues, they will rush there and conduct the most thorough search and elimination..."

Dorian continued, his expression finally relaxing a little.

It seems that the harm caused by Butis' betrayal to him and all the members of the Abraham family is enough for them to remember for the rest of their lives... Angel made some guesses and said:

"It sounds like he has been a traitor for a long time. He has even been promoted to one of the five saints in the Aurora Society... Didn't you plan to deal with him before?"

"As the next sequence of 'Traveler', 'Mystic' has the ability to keep secrets and can avoid the prying eyes of most divinations and prophecies. He can also 'teleport' away at any time. Even if he encounters other demigods, he can still escape if he cannot defeat them. Moreover... after the non-family members separated from us, we no longer have the ability to kill him."

Dorian explained, with a sigh.

"If you don't mind, I want to know the reason for their betrayal... Of course, if it involves your family's privacy, you don't have to answer, but it will affect whether I accept your 'commission'."

Angel said with a serious expression, but actually quite expectantly.

"This is not something that needs to be concealed," Dorian nodded slightly in relief, and answered in a sighing tone, "In fact, Louis Wayne's betrayal is also related to Butis. The two of them are non-family members who were carefully trained by us, but after their sequences were improved, they became interested in the seals preserved by the family... After failing to monopolize the seals through various means, Butis was tempted by the 'True Creator', joined the Aurora Society, and set off a war of betrayal."

"During this disaster, the Abraham family suffered heavy losses. A large number of core members were killed by Butis and other traitors, and the seal was taken away. Especially Butis himself, not only was he favored by the 'True Creator' and successfully promoted to a demigod, but he also obtained a trophy equivalent to a '0' level seal..."

"0" level seal!
Angel's expression was a little stiff, but it immediately returned to normal before Dorian noticed.

But she had already started to have doubts in her heart and was no longer so interested in this matter.

This was a "0" level seal. The only seal of the same level that she had seen and touched was "0-08", the Pen of Alesuhod, a seal that both Adam and the "Dragon of Imagination" were eyeing, a seal that had fooled many demigods such as Tingen's Night Slayer and Backlund, and even escaped from the hands of the Angel King.

Like it, those that are labeled as "0" level are guaranteed to have the status and power of angels, and may even involve Sequence 1 in those ways where no gods appear.

Could this be the "one of the two angels from the Abraham family" that Dorian mentioned? Well, no, Butis should have betrayed them by then. That is to say, before these "foreign" members snatched away some of the seals, they had three or more "0" level seals. They are indeed an angel family that has been active since the Fourth Epoch...

After sighing inwardly, Angel forced a smile and was about to refuse, but Dorian continued:

"However, Butis should not be able to fully master this seal. Even when carrying it, a large part of his strength must be used to fight it. As long as you plan ahead, he is no more difficult to deal with than an ordinary saint. You can definitely defeat him."

Where does this inexplicable confidence in me come from... Is it the legend that I killed everyone on the sea?

Angel smiled awkwardly but politely, waiting for the other party to explain further.
