Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 958 Ending and Overnight

Late at night, several "outsiders" finally gathered together again in the empty town hall.

Of course, the new and old "Consuls" were not among them. They had to rebuild the most important part, especially the laws prohibiting serious crimes such as murder and robbery, before other residents discovered that the original laws had collapsed. Otherwise, once someone discovered that the relevant "prohibitions" were invalid, it might lead to some tragedies that no one wanted to see.

In addition, during the short-lived disaster, although the mutated animals were eventually stopped by Nestor and Georgina from rushing into the city to slaughter ordinary residents, the collapsed houses, continuous earthquakes and trampling in panic still caused varying degrees of injuries to a few unfortunate residents, and some buildings on the outskirts of the city were also destroyed.

"Over the long years, the Dream City has collected the characteristics of many Beyonders who strayed into this place and became residents. Some of them naturally formed seals that can heal injured residents. The houses are also designed with enough redundancy so that residents who lose their homes will not be left homeless...

"But Annie probably won't be able to join us these two days. Even if we give most of the work to... Geldruf, she will be too busy to handle it."

Angel chuckled and explained to Klein who was sitting next to him.

She could sense the resentment coming from the other side of the contract from the location of Anne's mark on her palm. There was discomfort from staying on her ship for too long and suddenly having to work harder, complaints about Angel abandoning her, and also relief that she could show her own value...

The contract between us seems to be more closely connected. Is it because we are both located in the "City of Dreams" and the effect of the contract derived from the power of order is more obvious, or is it because of what happened tonight and the recognition of my identity by the new law? Angel was thinking, when he suddenly saw the door of the city hall being pushed open, and a tall figure walked in. After a few seconds, another burly man with a pointed crown on his head followed into the hall.

They obviously arrived together... Angel laughed secretly and stood up to greet the "King of the Five Seas" Nast Solomon and Duchess Georgina Augustus.

Although they had different positions, Nast wanted to obtain his own treasure and become a real angel, while Georgina belonged to the Loen royal family. Angel was wary of them, but in the brief disaster just now, these two saints at least showed a style of behavior that Angel recognized. Therefore, after obtaining most of the authority of the "Dream City", she did not expel the two people immediately, but planned to talk to them.

After sitting down in the lounge in the corner of the hall, Angel first discovered Nast holding a wooden box that he had not been seen carrying all morning.

The box is all black, with traces of dirt still on the surface. It is painted with simple but beautiful lines and is inlaid with a metal nameplate that has a lot of rust on it.

"That box... belongs to the Count White Maple, Savini Solomon?"

Angel asked in understanding.

"Yes, I found it in a public cemetery on the outskirts of the city..."

Nast glanced at Georgina who was sitting far away from him, then lowered his head to look at the wooden box and said calmly. Angel noticed that his eyes, which originally had a dark red glow, now had a look of relief as if his doubts had been answered.

"He passed away suddenly in the last stage of his life and left behind those hard-to-decipher clues. I had my doubts about this until I found him in the list of outsiders in the city yesterday and confirmed that he had really left..."

He let out a long breath and uttered the words that he seemed to have been brewing for a long time:
"I will take him back to Intis, back to his homeland of Ormire."

It's the province that produces high-end wine. No, that's not the point. The point is whether it will be disrespectful to the wishes of the deceased. After all, it was Count Savigny who decided to spend his last time in this city... Angel suddenly had this thought in his mind, and then he said:
"I didn't expect that it was the message he left behind that helped you find him...well, helped us get here."

"But you don't seem to be going to express your gratitude?"

Nast turned his eyes away from the wooden box, looked at Angel, and asked rudely.

"We have acquired ownership of the 'Ghost Empire' in some way. Of course, those legendary extraordinary characteristics are also included, but they work together to maintain the operation of this city with a hundred thousand people. I don't intend to disrupt this tranquility for the time being."

Angel continued to talk, and when Nast's expression changed a little, he added:
"Of course, Earl Bai Feng's extraordinary characteristics should have been preserved by this city. I will give it to you later as a reward for your information on the Ghost Empire."

Before meeting up with the two, Angel had already found information about Savigny, who used the alias "William Kidd", at the City Hall, and learned that he was a "corrupted count" before his death, and a Sequence 4 of the Lawyer Path.

According to the law, this extraordinary characteristic will be taken away by the City Hall after the death of the extraordinary person and kept in the "Night Emperor and Blood Moon Queen" Memorial Hall below, and all negative effects will be suppressed by the absolute power of "order".

As a rare high-sequence extraordinary characteristic, it is difficult for ordinary citizens without extraordinary powers to use it, and no craftsman can make it into a magical item. Therefore, it has been preserved in the darkness as a complete characteristic for more than 100 years.

Hearing Angel's proposal, Nast's eyes hidden under the shadow of the crown flashed with a dark red light. After a moment, he nodded and said:
"So be it."

Hearing this, Angel secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although a Sequence 4 Beyonder characteristic is worth 3 to 5 pounds, the premium is even higher for some Beyonders who are in urgent need of promotion. Even if Nestor himself cannot use it, there are long queues of subordinates waiting for it. However, compared with the opportunity for him to be promoted to an angel, the gains from this trip to the "Ghost Empire" are undoubtedly greatly reduced.

After all, he didn't put in much effort. He spent the whole day digging the tomb of former Count Savigny of White Maple... Angel muttered.

This allocation was reached through discussion between her, Anne, and Klein. After all, the "King of the Five Seas" was only a temporary partner and had not become their true ally. Once this pirate king truly became an angel, he would have the power to fight Anne, and would likely try to jump to the adjacent Sequence 1 "Hand of Order", posing a threat to the "City of Hope". Fortunately, he could see the situation clearly and knew that he was currently at a disadvantage. Otherwise, I would immediately accuse him of several crimes in the name of the Archon's agent, such as stepping into the City Hall with his left foot first, or disrespecting the "Emperor of the Night" while wearing a crown, and lock him up for a few months to wake him up...

Angel struggled to suppress her little desire for power, looked at Georgina, and asked:
"What about you? Are you going back to Backlund after leaving here?"

The Duchess, who was not much younger than George III but still looked young, shook her head and said:
"I plan to 'disappear' for a while. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain why I followed you into the 'Ghost Empire' but escaped unscathed without any gain. It's very likely that my contract with you will be discovered..."

She also glanced at Nast, realizing that she shouldn't say too much, so she quickly stopped the topic and said:
"Anyway, you should pay attention to the news on the northern front. If the situation there suddenly changes, it may mean that his final plan is about to begin. Haha, this is all thanks to your activeness on the battlefield, otherwise this process would have been greatly advanced."

On the northern front, where the eldest prince Govington was located... Angel nodded solemnly.

After learning that the eldest prince was sent to the front line, she speculated that George III would most likely use this prince to do something. If the crown prince led the Guards to victory, he would take advantage of the opportunity to mobilize the whole country. If there were heavy losses, a national mourning would be held. No matter which situation, he could use this occasion to meet the requirements of the promotion ceremony of the "Black Emperor".

Of course, after Georgina revealed that George III originally wanted the eldest prince to die on the front line, Angel became even more wary of this ruthless king.

After a brief communication, she used her transcendent status to agree to Georgina and Nast's request to "leave the country", but in order to prevent them from fighting outside as soon as they left, Georgina would leave first and Nast would wait for five minutes. This time was enough for the Duchess to leave the real sea area, but not enough for her to set a trap and ambush the "King of the Five Seas".

After watching the "Law Mage" exile himself into the void and leave the "City of Hope", Nast looked at Angel with his emotionless eyes and suddenly asked:
"The 'active' she just mentioned refers to the fact that you wiped out an entire Feysac Navy fleet in the Sea of ​​​​Intervals?"

In fact, it also includes an "Iron Knight"... Angel added secretly and nodded:

"A little bit of work."

Stroking the black wooden box in his hand, Nast suddenly felt that he was really old.

----

"You are becoming more and more like a pirate queen," Klein suddenly laughed out loud after Nast left, and said with interest, "Next, it's our turn to leave. It may take Anne several days to finish her work here, and we can't wait."

Although he was interested in the Beyonder characteristics of the "Duke of Entropy" and "Mistress of Desolation", he did not have a strong desire to possess them. After all, they originally belonged to an angel from the Fourth Epoch. Even if they were not sealed objects, they still had powerful negative effects that he, a Sequence 4, could not withstand.

According to Anne, it will take about a month to remove the "disaster" witch characteristics that Angel needs from the "City of Hope". During this period, she will cooperate with Amon's clone to move the floating city to an island far away from the safe shipping lane near the Rorsted Islands and dock it on the seashore as a real coastal city in reality.

In this way, in addition to the "Planeswalker" who can allow the city to enter the spirit world to avoid attacks at any time and the "Duke of Entropy" who distorts gravity and makes the city float, they can get a copy of "Disaster" and a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of "Mistress of Desolation". The former can be used as the main material of Angel's potion for promotion, and the latter may be used as a "level 0" seal.

"This journey has been very rewarding, and I have also obtained many historical documents from the Fourth Epoch. They can help me uncover the mystery surrounding that period of secret history, and can also serve as supplementary materials for the 'Ancient Scholar'. Now, I only need the last bit of role-playing and the required main materials..."

Klein said with a satisfied smile, and took a last look outside the window at the extremely quiet streets due to the curfew. He felt that the two-day journey to the "Ghost Empire" was fulfilling and long.

It's a pity that after leaving here, in order to avoid being tracked by Zaratul, we two have to separate again... He just hesitated, and then he felt a pair of soft arms around his waist, and then he smelled a light but nostalgic body fragrance in his nose.

"How about we leave tomorrow?"

Immediately, a subtle sound like the rubbing of paper came to Klein's ears, which quickly made him recover from his depressed mood.

"Here, disrespecting the 'Golden Queen' is a serious crime..."

"I have the final say when Annie is away. I pardon your crime in advance tonight."

After getting "permission", Klein held Angel's hand with his backhand. Bright yellow flames surged under his windbreaker, enveloping the two of them, and disappeared into the city hall with a snap.

Qonas Kilger, who had been standing by like an invisible man, walked out silently from the corner and looked into the depths of the town hall, where a rabbit hopped out.

The two secret dolls looked at each other, and for a moment no one moved.

After an awkward silence, with two crisp sounds of flames exploding, the city hall finally returned to true tranquility.
