Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 93 Reporting and "playing"

"Bell Clement nearly raved about you in the telegram."

As soon as Angel sat down, Dunn shook the telegram in his hand and said.

"Oh, how did he boast?"

He was indeed a little curious about what other people thought of him, Angel asked curiously.

"Uh huh," cleared his throat, Dunn picked up the telegram and read, "He said, in the battle to attack the cargo warehouse in the port area, you helped your teammates get rid of the state of being about to lose control, and in the battle against Sequence 6's 'Rose Bishop' made an outstanding contribution in the battle, successfully defeated the 'Mr. C' of the Aurora Order, and almost killed him. Then he was attacked by another 'Mechanical Heart' defector who was carrying a magical item, successfully Counterattack, kill it...well, almost kill it again?"

"Because both of them ran away in the end..."

Angel was also very ashamed. She was sure that she had stabbed Tomacs, the traitor of "Mechanical Heart", to the point of death, but the other party's body disappeared in the cellar in an instant, which made her battle testimony a little bit Not convincing enough.

As for the tenacious "Mr. C", judging from his various weird flesh and blood magic, it is not so surprising to escape from dying.

After concealing some of the information about the mystical item he was holding, "thirsty blood", Angel told Dunn about the process of gathering the Nighthawks from each team in Enmat Harbor and launching the operation in advance before Backlund's team arrived. Smith, who listened carefully and wrote in his notebook from time to time, which seemed to be an effort to combat memory decline.

"2-031 'Hand of Proclamation'... I've seen this sealed item, it was produced by combining the Extraordinary item that appeared after the death of a mid-sequence Extraordinary in the 'Arbitrator' pathway, with a leather glove. As long as you understand your opponent's abilities, use this sealed item reasonably, its power is second only to the 'Saint Relic' that guards Chanis Gate."

Due to the need to conceal the fact that he was carrying a magical item, Angel pushed the many damages and restrictions on Mr. C in the battle to the sealed item "2-031". I thought Dunn would have doubts, but he also lamented along with him " The power of the declaring hand.

"The relic of the saint... is that also a sealed item?"

"It doesn't refer to a specific sealed item, but every Church of Evernight, all behind the 'Chanis Gate' have protective measures to suppress the rest of the sealed item. The church in Tingen is called 'Saint Serena Church' , was named after a saint during the establishment of the Evernight Goddess Church, after the death of this saint who was active in the third era, his ashes were buried in the 'Chanis Gate' below the church."

"Similarly, part of St. George's remains are buried under St. George's Church in Enmat, and they are all called 'relics of the saint'."

Saints... According to the records of the church, only the Extraordinary of Sequence 4 or 3 are called "Saints", and the ones above are called "Angels on Earth"... Could it be that after the death of a High-Sequence Beyonder, apart from the precipitation Extraordinary characteristics, even a part of their remains will become a powerful magical item?
"Then what power do these 'relics of the saints', such as the ashes of Saint Selina, possess?"

She finally couldn't hold back and asked this question.

Dun En smiled lightly, which made the wrinkles around his eyes more obvious. It was obvious that this Nighthawk was only over thirty years old.

"Having no power, they simply represent the glory of saints who have made great contributions to the Goddess and the Church."

I won't believe it...

Angel guessed that Dunn might have used such an obvious lie to confuse him for confidentiality reasons, but for the same reason, she couldn't continue to ask, so she could only keep this information in her heart and let it go.

"By the way, in addition to Clement's telegram, the 'Mechanical Heart' in Enmat Port also sent a letter of thanks." Dunn patted his head, as if he just remembered this matter.He found another telegram from the drawer and handed it to Angel.

She took the telegram and read it carefully.

"...Thanks to Ms. Angel Granger, the Nighthawk, for lending a helping hand in time when Ms. Carvey was attacked, and for severely injuring the defector Tomac in the ensuing battle. If you have any follow-up information about Tomac, please report in time... ...Well, why don't I see too much thanks, as if I'm still blaming us for not telling them in time for other information?"

"Their style has always been like this. The 'Punisher' is actually more excessive. Some thank you letters are written like a call to action. Of course, don't get me wrong, they are indeed thanking you."

After criticizing the official Beyonders of the Church of the Lord of Storms and the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, the two finally brought the topic back on track.

"When you became an official member of the Nighthawks last week, I originally said that you need to complete a single commission as a 'trial' to join the Nighthawks, so as to gain the approval of other members."

"Yes, I do remember."

Angel nodded and replied that she didn't know why Dunn brought up this matter at this time.

"You completed the mission of Enmat Port this time perfectly. You rescued more than a hundred people who were deceived and kidnapped, repelled the Extraordinary of Sequence 6, and survived to the end. Hidden risk of contamination or loss of control..."

When Dunn said this, he paused.

Angel also thought of Rupert Norman who recklessly opened his spirit vision and looked directly at the statue of the real Creator in the cellar because he put on the "Hand of Proclamation" in advance.

Fortunately, he did not leave any sequelae in the end...

"...In short, I think you don't need to prove yourself through other commissions for your performance in this mission."

"so?"

Angel had already guessed what Dunn was going to say, but he still asked cooperatively.

"So tonight's dinner, you also participate."

"Is there a dinner party tonight?"

"Don't you know?" Dunn was stunned now, and he rubbed the corners of his eyes, "Klein didn't tell you? He solved a commission by himself yesterday morning, helping Sir Vedel get rid of the grievances of workers who died of illness." Troubled, he has completed the 'trial' before you, and the dinner tonight is to celebrate him."

Hmm, because of the negative effect of the "Magic Pocket Watch", there was a lot of fuss just now, maybe Klein forgot to mention it?
"Anyway, at six o'clock in the evening, don't miss the delicious food at the Old Ville restaurant."

Dunn said with a smile, and then his face suddenly sank as if he thought of something else.

"It's a pity that Daly can't come to participate. Originally, when she heard about this incident, she planned to come over from Enmat Port to congratulate you and Klein. However, she received a temporary notice and was transferred to the Backlund Diocese. .”

Captain, are you sure Ms. Daly came to Tingen because of me and Klein?

but……

"Transferred to Backlund? I just came back from Enmat Port, and I haven't heard about it."

Angel began to doubt his memory again. Could it be that the memory loss symptoms of "Nightmare" could be transmitted to the people around him, or did his memory of the lost day not fully return to his mind?

"I also found out in the telegram that when Clement reported the Saturday night battle to the Holy Church, Daly made another special application. Potion, it is planned to be promoted to Sequence 6 in the near future."

Sequence 6... Angel's first thought was Mrs. Sharon who dared to break into the Nighthawks' residence alone, and then Mr. C, the "Rose Bishop" who was burned into a puddle of flesh and survived.

Daly Simone, this Extraordinary in her early 20s, is she about to step into the same realm as these people?

"You should know that the internal regulations of the Nighthawks are that after taking the potions of each stage, they must wait for three years before undergoing strict inspections to ensure that they will not get out of control before applying for the potions of the next stage."

"And for a person with mediocre talent like me, three years is often not enough. It took me three years to go from 'Sleepless' to 'Midnight Poet', and it took nine years to be promoted to 'Nightmare', and now it has passed Three years, I don't know how many more years it will take to master the potion of this sequence and try to get promoted."

Having said this, Dunn's face was a bit bitter. He rubbed his fingers, leaned back, and changed his legs before continuing.

"Daly and I, or in other words, are different from most Extraordinary people. They seem to have a unique talent for mastering and excavating potions. She submitted a special application only one year after she became a 'Corpse Collector' and passed the strict examination. Take the potion for the next stage in advance, and become the 'gravedigger' of Sequence 8."

"It only took her one year to become a 'psychic' from Sequence 8 to Sequence 7. She is only 24 years old this year, and it has been five years since she became a Extraordinary. The Holy Church should judge that she still has enough chances. will transfer her to the most important diocese."

He was promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 in two years, which is very similar to Cole Granger. Could it be that Daly also summed up the acting method of quickly digesting potions?
Angel thought of applying eyeshadow and dressing up as the mysterious "Psychic" Daly, and somewhat understood her secret to quick promotion.

"Since Daly has the knack of mastering potions quickly, why don't you ask her?"

"Of course I asked, she made me a 'Nightmare', a real 'Nightmare'..."

Dunn's eyes under his light brown bangs were a little dazed. He had obviously been puzzled by this answer for a long time, and he couldn't find a real way to interpret it.

Become a "Nightmare"...

Hearing this trick, Angel realized that Daly must have mastered the "acting method" or similar experience summaries, but it is very likely that, like Kavey who vowed not to reveal the law of indestructibility of Extraordinary characteristics, he also needs to abide by similar The oath, so I can only tap on the side, trying to give some guidance to Dunn who has stayed in Sequence 7 for a full nine years.

But why does the church block this knowledge?This is the case with the Nighthawks, and so is the Heart of the Machine. They make every Extraordinary who knows the secret knowledge swear not to reveal the secret (although Kawei has proved that this oath is not absolutely effective), even if this will reduce the success of the Extraordinary's safe and fast promotion Rate.

If it is said that the law of indestructibility of Extraordinary characteristics may cause internal strife among official Beyonders, and it is understandable to conceal the bottom layer, why should such a proven effective rule as "playing method"...

Wait, I knew the "acting method" from Cole's memory and Mrs. Sharon's teaching before I joined the Nighthawks, and I am not bound by the church...

A light seemed to light up before Angel's eyes.

"Nightmare must become a real 'Nightmare', a psychic must regard himself as a real 'psychic', and a fortuneteller must actively carry out 'divination' in his spare time... Could it be that becoming the role represented by the name of the potion means mastering the magic potion?" The point of the medicine?"

She pretended to be talking to herself, and said the words softly.

Dunn Smith's gray eyes froze like frozen lake water.

"...Nightmare, become 'Nightmare'..."

He bowed his head and fell into deep thought, no longer speaking.

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Angel did not disturb Dunn, but gently moved the chair, opened the door and walked out.

The moment the office door closed, Angel seemed to hear Dunn whispering something.
