Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 987 One Year Angel

This is... a rare proactive greeting from Mr. Fool!
Audrey, who was about to take the lead in standing up and saluting, was startled, feeling both happy and confused. She instinctively interpreted this change and thought that Mr. Fool must have achieved some long-term goals, or encountered something happy, which is why his emotions were revealed. However, she was not sure whether a real god would behave in such a humane way.

Fortunately, He at the head of the long table did not show any more behavior, which allowed Audrey, who had already digested most of the "Dream Walker" potion, to calm down. She led all the members of the Tarot Club to bow and greet them as usual.

Klein the Fool nodded slightly in response, but his eyes remained on the Queen Angel who was closest to him.

Because from the moment everyone appeared in the palace in the gray fog, an extra, thicker gray fog began to cover Angel's position. Angel himself, who was in the care of the gray fog, might find it difficult to notice, but from the perspective of Klein, the owner of the gray fog, it was extremely obvious.

Combining his previous experiences, Klein made some guesses about this strange phenomenon:

The gray fog space, or what he understood as the "Source Castle", responded to this outsider in a defensive manner!
The last time the gray fog underwent a similar change was after Angel’s battle with the “divine evil” Sua, leaving a trace of pollution from the “Mother Tree of Desire” in his body, and was then pulled into the gray fog by Klein.

This time, it was most likely related to Angel's promotion to a Sequence 2 Angel, or she had a stronger control over another source substance, the "City of Disaster", and the related aura remained in her body, which triggered the reaction of the "Source Castle", which was also a source substance.

It was much weaker than the reaction of the Mother Tree of Desire. This did not mean that the City of Disaster was inferior to the Sefirah Castle. After all, during the Bansi incident, when I tried to divine the source of that power and was counterattacked by the City of Disaster, the reaction of the Sefirah Castle was equally intense... Could it be that after I was promoted to Sequence 3, my control over this Sefirah also increased, and that was why the Gray Mist gave the "decision-making power" to me instead of counterattacking on its own?
Klein pondered and tried to control the power of the Source Castle with his own thoughts to calm the reaction it had triggered.

Sure enough, the thick gray fog that enveloped Angel immediately dissipated, fell onto the palace floor, and merged into the thin mist around it.

Fortunately, it did not provoke any violent reaction, otherwise Angel would be expelled from the "Source Castle" at best, or seriously injured, or even caused the two source substances to attack each other. Who knows what terrible things would happen at that time, and it might even attract Amon and Adam again...

Klein muttered as he looked around at the people who had taken their seats again. He found that they were all looking in the direction of the Queen in surprise. The Hanged Man and the Magician, who had reacted more strongly, even stiffened their bodies, as if they thought that the great Mr. Fool was punishing a member who was slow to stand up and salute.

Tsk, they discovered the movement just now. How should I explain this... Having been the Fool for more than a year, the experienced Klein quickly found a solution. He smiled and said in a low voice:

"Congratulations, 'Queen'."

He only provides guidance, and leaves the rest to others to "fill in the blanks" on their own.

As expected, the movements just now were immediately regarded by others as the actions of the "fool" themselves, and their surprised and panicked eyes turned into curiosity and exploration.

Audrey, who had a good relationship with Angel, even asked directly:

"Miss Queen, what happened?"

She actually guessed that it might be related to the "assassination" of George III two days ago, but she was not sure.

Angel smiled slightly as he looked at the various gazes that contained various emotions. Various answers flashed through his mind, including "I became an angel" and "I was just promoted accidentally." In the end, he said implicitly:

“In the future, if you need to restore a magical item to its pure Beyonder properties, you can ask me for help.”

Restore...Extraordinary characteristics?
It took everyone a few seconds to truly understand the meaning behind this somewhat roundabout statement.

The first to react were several old members of the Tarot Club and Cattleya, a "hermit" with rich knowledge of mysticism. They had all learned from various channels the means required to completely crush the power in the seal and regroup it into pure extraordinary characteristics. They knew that this was something that only angels or "0" level seals could do.

Then came the members such as the Magician and the Judge. Although they did not understand what this meant, they instinctively felt that this was not something that an ordinary Beyonder, or even a high-ranking Beyonder, could do.

and so……

"So, you have been promoted to Sequence 2 and become an angel?"

"The Hanged Man," Alger murmured, using honorifics involuntarily. This was the part of the Sailor Path that naturally submitted to the superior.

Of course, his other half is a "challenger of the upper class", but Alger, who has been tested in the workplace for a long time, can control this emotion well.

"Yes."

Angel answered succinctly.

Angel!

In the Tarot Club, besides the convener and organizer Mr. Fool, he is the first true angel!

In the era when human civilization was just beginning to develop and ancient gods and ancient creatures still dominated the mainstream, this could even be called a "follower god", a member of the divine spirit!
If the Nighthawk's information was true, she was not even 20 years old... Alger felt his head go numb and could not believe it for a moment.

But didn't she just advance to Sequence 3 a few months ago? How long has it been... "Justice" Audrey thought of Christine's lovely and bright face. She couldn't treat her the same as the Pope and the Patriarch, who were all at the top of the Orthodox Church. Angel, Sequence 2, isn't this the same as Duke Olmer of our blood race? He is one of the three dukes who rule the blood race, over years old, and even followed the ancestor Lilith... "Moon" Emlyn suddenly felt a little envious.

As expected, I knew that poor Klein was being played around by her... Previously, the old man had said that it was possible to advance from Sequence 9 to Sequence 3 in one year. Now, he would have nothing to say... "Star" Leonard couldn't wait to leave the gray fog and go back to argue with Pales.

Could this be related to the naval battle in the Sonia Sea last month? Is there really a Sequence 2 witch characteristic hidden in the "Ghost Empire"... The first thing that came to Cattleya's mind was the ancient treasure legend, and then she felt the reality of facing an angel.

……

Various thoughts kept flashing through the minds of the Tarot Club members, and the emotions contained in their eyes gradually unified to the same frequency band:
In awe.

At the focus of his sight, Angel did not shrink into the chair to express his resistance as he had done in the previous times. Instead, he confidently straightened his chest and endured the gaze.

As a Sequence 2, she has already gained initial access to the authority corresponding to this path. She is an absolute top force in any church or organization, and can now calmly accept the awe of others.

Beside her, Klein the Fool also raised his lips behind the gray fog, expressing his satisfaction with the outcome of this short "drama".

dong dong——

He knocked on the bronze table and said in a deep voice:

"Let's start today's communication."

Except for Angel, other Tarot Club members breathed a sigh of relief, and their expressions and movements became much more relaxed.

Under the pressure of a new angel, none of them dared to speak first unless Mr. Fool spoke first.

But Audrey, who was beside Angel, still looked to the side hesitantly, worried that her friend would be sad because of the change in everyone's attitude.

The "Queen" looked back curiously under her gaze, tilted her head, and said:
"I'm selling a copy of the Beyonder characteristic of 'Trickster'. Does anyone want it? I also have a magical item with the characteristic of 'Parasite' of Sequence 4 of the Thief. If you need it, I can also crush it into Beyonder characteristics."

Secretly suppressing her laughter, Audrey looked away, realizing that she was overthinking.

……

Unfortunately, Angel's selling failed again. The trait obtained from the evil wizard stationed at the "Fountain of Youth" had never been in demand in the Tarot Club. Even now that she had been promoted to an angel, she wanted to sell it again with her momentum, but she could not find a buyer. Through her and Klein's words and deeds, all members of the Tarot Club knew how terrible Amon was, and no one dared to buy the "thief" demigod trait that could easily attract the Angel King.

As for the characteristics of "Despair" and "Iron Knight", Angel did not intend to sell them here, but prepared to leave them to Elaine and Sherman, two minor Arcana cards, to be promoted to demigods. Compared to earning tens of thousands of pounds, it is obviously more attractive to have a demigod subordinate.

In contrast to her, Klein's deal was going on in full swing. His three puppets died in the "City of Dreams" and the nameless island in the Raging Sea. Except for Qiunas's "Fallen Count", the Beyonder's Beyonder characteristics were reserved by Cattleya. As the "Admiral of the Stars", she had many Beyonders under her command and was connected to many mysterious organizations. She had no shortage of opportunities to resell or give them to her subordinates.

Humph, what's his is mine anyway... Angel muttered, and just when she thought that today's deal would end like this, Mr. "Sun" who was sitting diagonally opposite her said hesitantly:

"Ms. Queen, could you please give us a detailed introduction to the advanced talismans you mentioned last time? I found spiritual materials that can be used to make talismans in Silver City, and I would like to ask you to make a few."

Business is coming... She suppressed the unconscious curling of the corners of her mouth, nodded, and roughly told the potential buyer the effects of the "Disaster" and "Petrification" spells.

Of course, if she didn't use "Betrayal" herself, it would easily affect her companions around her, so Angel didn't plan to sell this spell. Instead, she used the new spell she got after she was promoted to Sequence 2 and received the blessing of the "War Bishop" as a replacement.

It is a "gathering" spell that can connect companions, subordinates or soldiers, share damage with each other, and gather strength. It is the realm of war and the authority of "man-made disasters"!

I wonder which one Mr. "Sun" from Silver City is going to buy in the God-forsaken Land. After all, one piece costs 3000 pounds of goods or currency, and you have to bring your own materials... Angel thought happily.

“This is really hard to decide…” As expected, “Sun” Derrick muttered hesitantly, “Can I…can I have them all?”

Ok?
Angel's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately:
"Of course, as long as you provide enough materials... If the quantity required is large, I can give you a discount!"

Seeing that Miss "Queen" had the same attitude as before and was selling talismans with a smile, the other members of the Tarot Club finally put their minds at ease.

This is the member they know!
