Is Daly mistaken? In fact, the church has the follow-up Potion formula of "Assassin" Pathway?
But looking at the smile on her face, there is no distress or regret about getting the facts wrong...
Could it be that Daly knew that I had become "Instigator" and deliberately asked me to submit a special application, allowing me to choose between exposing my own strength and wearing uniforms and Sequence Potion?
If you drink the same Potion again, will you lose control on the spot? Or do you want to play the role again?
Angel's brain was running rapidly, and his eyes turned to Klein beside him, but he saw that the other party was also looking at him with a worried face.
Daly, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled even brighter and seemed to be happy to see Angel worried and at a loss, until even Dunn noticed something was wrong and cast doubtful eyes on Angel:
"What's wrong with you? Crestet said that you should go down for examination first. If you feel unwell, you can let Klein go first."
"No... it's okay, I..."
Angel I didn't know what to say for a moment.
Is it possible to just pretend to be unwell and fail the exam?
"She's fine. She's probably just too excited. After all, when the test is over, she will be 'True Instigator'."
Daly's words with a bit of laziness and smile came.
True Instigator...
Why emphasize "real"?
Angel suddenly realized that he had misunderstood the meaning of Daly.
If she really wants to harm me, there is absolutely no need to say "the church owns Potion of 'Instigator'" now. As long as I don't know anything about it, pass the test of "Goddess's Sword" Crestet, and wait until he lays out the Potion formula and materials and asks me to prepare and take it on the spot...
Could it be that Daly is implying that Crestet Cesimir already knows that I have become Sequence 8, and is implying that I should not lie?
And as long as I pass the examination, in the eyes of Dunn and other Nighthawks, I will become "True Instigator" only after taking Potion under the witness of Crestet...
I just don't know whether this was Daly's own decision, or whether he communicated with "Goddess's Sword" Crestet Cesimir who came for the examination?
After thinking about this, in her eyes, Daly's initially strange and slightly mocking smile turned into encouragement and blessing.
"Thank you, Ms. Daly."
Angel smiled again and responded.
"Just understand. Come down as soon as possible. Don't let Crestet wait too long."
Daly nodded slightly, turned his head and picked up the coffee.
Klein, who was a little confused by the conversation between the two, first frowned, then relaxed, and understood the hidden information in the conversation. The worry on his face faded, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The only one who was kept in the dark was Dunn. His gray eyes were full of doubts and his eyes kept moving back and forth on several people.
Angel walked slowly in the underground passage of Blackthorn Security Company.
To the left at the intersection was Alchemy Room, but she stopped and stood still at the intersection.
Even though she believed Daly's judgment, she was still a little hesitant at this time.
If he had known, he would have asked Klein to come down for the examination first. At least he wouldn't have to worry about problems after drinking the "clown" Potion...
Taking heavy steps, Angel finally opened Alchemy Room's secret door.
A space has been cleared in the room, and the long tables and chairs that are usually neatly arranged have been moved to the corners, leaving only two high-backed chairs facing each other, about one meter apart.
There is already a man sitting on the chair facing the door, about thirty years old, wearing Nighthawks, a black windbreaker that almost everyone has. The collar stands up high, and the white shirt collar under the windbreaker covers his chin.
He has short golden brown hair and dark green eyes. In the dim light of Alchemy Room, he looks as calm as a lake at night.
"You must be Ms. Angel Granger, please sit down."
Seeing Angel push the door and walk into the room, he spoke first, his voice was somewhat magnetic, like the voices of the pop singers Angel had heard in his previous life.
"Okay, Crestet Cesimir Your Excellency."
After nodding in answer, Angel sat on the high-backed chair opposite him, folded his hands on his thighs, and put on a smile on his face, like a graduate attending a company interview.
"Dunn should have told you what I am here for, so I will go straight to the point. First, I need to test your mastery of Potion and determine whether your personality has been changed by Potion's remaining spirit, leaving hidden dangers."
"You have three minutes to adjust."
Crestet After saying that, he took out a pocket watch from the inner pocket of his windbreaker, opened the cover, and focused his eyes on the dial.
Angel Take a deep breath, close your eyes, isolate visual interference, and begin to adjust your physical and mental state through meditation.
"Da, da, da."
The only sound left in her ears was the sound of the second hand of Crestet's pocket watch.
Soon, these sounds were also silenced by meditation.
The three-minute wait was very unbearable. Angel wanted to open his eyes and directly ask to start the examination, but he was afraid that this would leave a bad impression on the other party.
Just take a nap...
As soon as the thought appeared, it filled the whole brain uncontrollably, and a strong sleepiness came over her, like a soft pillow on her head after a tiring day and night. She almost gave up thinking in an instant and fell asleep peacefully in this silent and lightless environment.
... No, this is not on the bed in the bedroom, but at the examination site!
The suppressed Spirituality gave a faint alert, which made Angel wake up as if she had been pricked by a needle. She quit the meditation that seemed to have ceased. She opened her eyes, only to find Alchemy Room The gas lamp on the wall became dim and could only illuminate the lampshade itself, while the Crestet in front of her, the high-backed chair and even all the tables and chairs placed in the corner, all disappeared into her Dark Vision.
The exam has started? Didn't you agree to give me three minutes to prepare?
She suppressed her pounding heart and kept sitting on the chair in her original position, her eyes constantly searching her surroundings, and her ears listening to any sounds coming from around her.
Soon, Angel heard Crestet's singer-like voice. He was humming an unknown but very beautiful melody, which seemed to be constantly surrounding the entire Alchemy Room, making it difficult to tell the direction of the sound.
The melody gradually became high-pitched and chaotic, and the speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but it could never keep up with the beat or the pitch. There were also various sharp noises around it that looked like musical instruments or the friction of different objects.
Various "instruments" accompanied by off-key humming were getting closer and louder, giving Angel an urge to grab Crestet's neck and force him to align with the pitch and beat.
This is a test... This is a test...
Angel Resisted the urge to draw a gun and shoot randomly, or lift a dagger to stab violently, he tensed his back, stiffened his limbs, and sat upright on a high-backed chair.
Gradually, those noises reduced and disappeared, and Crestet's humming returned to a fixed beat and tone, becoming elegant and beautiful.
The last beat lingers on the coda, an octave higher.
"Very good. You have withstood the test and have not shown any tendency to lose control. This shows that your mastery of Potion is perfect and there are no hidden dangers."
Crestet and his high-backed chair reappeared in Alchemy Room, along with the disappearing lights, stacked tables and chairs, and his magnetic voice.
Hearing this voice again, Angel had the urge to beat him.
It's a pity that this is "Goddess's Sword", which is the senior deacon of Sequence 5, and she doesn't dare.
"Thank you, Lord Cesimir."
She replied with a smile.
Hey, How could sister Daly harm you?
