Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 944 Showdown
This sentence, which sounded like a drop-in, instantly attracted Angel's attention. She also looked down and found that the person who came was, as expected, a member of the Loen royal family who had just separated from Klein not long ago, Duchess Georgina Augustus, a "Law Mage" who caught the last train and followed them to this city.

Judging from the previous naval battles, she is in a hostile relationship with Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", and her attitude towards Angel is somewhat ambiguous. She is undoubtedly on the "unfriendly" side.

But since this city prohibits all kinds of combat, and all "outsiders" are in the same boat on how to break through the legal restrictions, Angel doesn't mind listening to her ideas.

After Anne "agreed" for the other party to enter, the demigod also used his extraordinary ability to float into the air, and then landed on the black deck. He looked around curiously, and then glanced at the two "German Sparrows" who looked the same but were dressed differently, and finally stopped his gaze on Angel.

It seems that every Beyonder has studied the law and has clearly defined the boundaries of "illegal" behavior, so they can use their abilities reasonably without worrying about punishment... Angel thought for a moment, and then spoke:

"What do you want from me?"

"Of course, let's continue to discuss our cooperation on 'Ghost Empire' and 'Queen Anne's Revenge'..."

Georgina chuckled, holding her golden mask in her hand, and turned her gaze to Anne who was standing beside her with a stern face.

"This must be the last ray of light of the Trunsost Empire, the incarnation of the Queen Anne's Revenge," she bowed slightly, her gesture more masculine than the kneeling gesture of a lady in a skirt. "Good afternoon, I am the Duchess of Sivellas of the Kingdom of Loen, Georgina Augustus. What should I call you?"

"Annie."

Compared to the other party's long introduction, Anne responded with just one word.

She didn't even want to let the other party know "Gustav"... Angel laughed secretly and said:

"I don't think there's any need for us to continue cooperating, right? You wanted us to work together to find the 'Ghost Empire', and now we've not only found it, but we've also come to this floating city. As for the follow-up actions, we both lack the basis for mutual trust. You represent the royal family, and we... stand on the side of the pirates."

Compared to this lady whose purpose is still unclear, Angel would rather believe in "King of the Five Seas" Nast. At least the latter is committed to becoming the new Black Emperor and may even cause trouble for George III.

As for Georgina's previous kindness to her and the part of the arms smuggling business that was given to "Christine", Angel did make a lot of money from it, but the premise of these profits was just to contact the "Golden Queen", and she also kept the appointment on time and did not owe the other party anything.

Now that Feysac had taken the lead in provoking the war, Loen dared not smuggle arms anymore and put the blame on Intis for provoking the colonial unrest, lest that country, whose national strength was not much inferior to Loen's, join the war and completely tip the balance of power to Feysac's side... Angel muttered in his heart.

Georgina was not discouraged by Angel's rejection. She kept her previous smile and continued:

"Mutual trust can only be generated through communication. This time I followed you into the 'Ghost Empire' to tell you more information, seek your help, and cooperate with you."

"what's the message?"

Angel instinctively wanted to refuse, because the other party was so confident and well prepared, and must have prepared reasons that would be difficult for her to refuse, but the curiosity in her heart still overwhelmed her caution.

"First of all, our respected King George III is doing something that is not so beneficial to the entire country, or even to the world, and the part of the royal family that I represent is trying to unite other forces to stop him."

Georgina replied softly, without any of the aura of an "arbitrator".

"Something that's bad for the world? Can you tell me more about it?"

Although he already knew what George III had done, Angel still pretended to be stupid and asked.

"I'm sorry, due to the power of 'secret keeping', I cannot reveal this information, but Ms. Anne... should be able to guess his purpose. This is related to Roselle Gustav."

As she spoke, Georgina looked at Anne and added as if to inspire her:

"You and the Queen Anne's Revenge have been traveling around the world in search of traces of His Majesty, right?"

As expected, she knew that George III was going to be promoted to the "Black Emperor"... Angel was not surprised. After all, according to the answer of "White Saint" Catalina, Georgina was also one of the royal demigods who could enter and exit "Ruins No. 1". Even if she was not clear about the progress of the whole ceremony, she should have a basic understanding of it.

As for Anne's whereabouts being discovered, it was not a big deal. The Queen Anne's Revenge did not hide its whereabouts when searching for Roselle's tombs around the world. This would make other pirates think that the Golden Queen was still active on the sea and maintained her deterrent power. But in the eyes of those who knew that Roselle had tried to be promoted to the Black Emperor in his later years, this undoubtedly represented a clear signal.

"I do not understand what you are saying."

Anne replied coldly.

"It's okay, just consider it my mistake..." Georgina smiled and didn't care much, "But I hope you know that if George III succeeds, Russell Gustav's slim hope will be completely extinguished. So, we hope you can contribute some strength and try to stop his plan."

Sure enough, the royal faction that the Duchess belongs to still doesn't want George III to become a god? But what good will this do for them? Once George III becomes the "Black Emperor", the Augustus family will truly become the family of the true God, at least they can compete with the three major churches and not be suppressed like they are now... Angel was really curious now, but he couldn't show that he knew about the Black Emperor's ritual, so he could only glance at the "Germans" who were also silent and gloomy.

But her subtle movement was noticed by Georgina who had been concentrating all the time. The latter smiled even more and said in a confirming tone:
"It seems that you already know about this matter... Um, did you learn about it from Major General Qiunas Kilger?"

She found out about our plan to capture Qiunas... Angel was shocked, but then he remembered that Klein went to the City Hall with Georgina today and changed the doll back to its original appearance after leaving. During this period, there were many opportunities for this "Law Mage" to discover the problem, and his heart gradually settled down.

But the next second, another emotion gradually surged in her heart.

It seems that the Duchess can only be kept in the "City of Dreams" forever. Otherwise, once she leaves, the "Golden Queen" and the "Crazy Adventurer" will hunt down the deputy director of MI9 and learn about George III's plan to become a god. As long as the royal family knows this, the truth about Hvin Rambis's death will be exposed, and Audrey, who has contact with him, will also be in danger...

With murderous intent growing in his heart, Angel glanced at Klein again and found that he nodded imperceptibly.

Of course, this does not mean that the two of them will take action here, because everyone is subject to the laws of the city, and murder is one of the most serious crimes. They can wait until they have cracked this set of laws and take action the moment they return to the real world.

At that time, it would be one angel and two saints against one Sequence 4, and Nast would surely be happy to help us... The plan gradually took shape in Angel's mind, and even the Beyonder characteristic of the "Law Mage" was allocated.

Or let Klein turn her into a secret doll?
A strange thought popped up in Angel's mind, but he immediately put aside this thought that did not respect the other party. He lowered his right ring finger and gently stroked the Annie mark on the palm of his hand, implicitly conveying his thoughts to the other party.

The next second, Annie's eyes, which had already looked bad, became dangerous.

This made Georgina, who was surrounded by three people, immediately aware of the change in atmosphere. The faint smile on her face disappeared and she became serious.

"After Major General Korg disappeared, we covered it up. Otherwise, your plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly... I think this should show a certain sincerity." She spoke at a fast pace. At the same time, she felt the undisguised majesty coming from Anne and took a step back. "In addition, the Storm Church and the Evernight Goddess Church are both cooperating with us."

"The Goddess Church has cooperation with you?"

Angel asked curiously.

"...and the Church of Storms. They provided the whereabouts of the Queen Anne's Revenge... In addition, there is one more thing that proves that we are not on the same side as George III and that we have a direct conflict of interest with him..."

As she spoke, Georgina looked at Angel, her eyes gradually changing from hesitant to determined.

"Prince Edessac Augustus, who committed suicide after colluding with the Witch Cult during the Great Smog a year ago, is still alive and is under the joint protection of us and the Church of the Evernight Goddess."

The Duchess's words shocked Angel so much that he was speechless.

The instigator of the Backlund smog incident, who was framed and silenced afterwards, causing Triss to be filled with resentment and willing to sacrifice herself to avenge him, is the third prince of the Loen Kingdom still alive?

The most important thing is that as the goddess's favorite, she was completely unaware of this matter.

Could it be that the goddess didn't know about this, and it was the power within the church that did it? No, it was more likely the opposite, the goddess used her "secret" authority to cover up the truth of the incident. Apart from her, I'm afraid only a very small number of people in the church who were directly involved knew about this...

But why would a god save the silenced Prince Edessak and cover up the whole thing?
