"So you let me get close to the Miss Hall. The real purpose is to find a way to get to know this Earl Hall?"

After a long time, Angel found himself again and asked.

She felt a little dry, so she took the teacup on the coffee table and drank half a cup of black tea before feeling relieved.

"Of course not. Do you think you have this ability?" Sevillea commented sharply, "You just need to find a way to become friends with the Audrey Hall. You don't need to pay attention to the rest."

"If you have any difficulty getting this done, you can ask me for help."

she added.

He made so many introductions to the Earl Hall, but in the end he just let me get close to his daughter?

Angel did not believe that the task was so simple, but Sevillea seemed to have no intention of continuing this topic. Instead, he talked about the etiquette and preferences of the Loen nobles. Finally, he called the maid, took a copy of Introduction to Noble Etiquette, and asked Angel to go back and study it carefully.

"Although Viscount Glaint's circle doesn't pay much attention to these things, you still have to master the basic etiquette. If you make a joke and become the laughing stock of the salon, your mission will be considered a failure."

Then why don't you go by yourself...

Angel cursed and took this introduction to etiquette.

Just when she thought the meeting was about to end, Sevillea's words made her heart tense again.

"You leave a piece of your hair or a tube of blood. This is a measure to prevent members from rebelling. You should understand, right?"

Hair or blood... used as a medium to inflict the curse?

Angel had already guessed that "Demoness Sect" would have some measures to prevent members from defecting and leaking secrets, but he didn't expect that instead of monitoring each other or reporting regularly, it would be so direct.

She knew that once she refused or even hesitated a little, the other party might become suspicious, so she nodded and answered:

"It's blood, I still value hair..."

If the cut hair turns light blonde, I am afraid that I will turn into another Beyonder Characteristic for promotion by "Instigator"!

"Ms. Sevillea is about 30 years old, but it's not quite accurate. She has black hair and gray eyes. She should be the 'Demoness of Pleasure' of Sequence 6. She lives in Palm Avenue of West Borough, which is definitely a wealthy area."

Looking at the notebook with information written messily in his hand, Angel frowned in distress.

In today's meeting, she only obtained this information, and she was not even sure whether the other person's appearance was true or false. After all, she, Sequence 7, had Mystical Item that could change her appearance. It was not surprising that the other party had similar abilities.

Putting down the pen, she took out her own Magic Mirror dressing mirror and placed it on her notebook.

"Magic Mirror Magic Mirror tell me the true identity of Ms. Sevillea."

Magic Mirror The smooth surface turned dark, and a mist that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye surged inside. Then the picture blurred for a while, and returned to the mirror reflecting the scene in the study.

There is no doubt that this divination failed.

"It seems that this Demoness of Pleasure has also taken sufficient Anti-Divination measures, or has a Mystical Item similar to 'Magician Pocket Watch'. With my Sequence 7's strength, divination cannot take effect at all, unless..."

She looked at "Hidden Holy Emblem" on her wrist.

If a formal Ritual Magic is deployed, and formal divination is performed by praying to Goddess, it may be possible to break through Anti-Divination and obtain some useful information.

But first, the target must respond positively for Ritual Magic to take effect. The last time she prayed to Goddess, trying to find the mysterious man who erased her memory, but Goddess erased all the sketches...

After sighing, Angel decided to choose a simpler and more effective method - purchasing information.

She remembered the half-grown boy Ian who had been rescued by Dominic when she and Dominic rescued Sonia. The other party claimed that if they needed information, they could go to "Bravehearts Bar" to find him.

Maybe this time it's time to use this relationship...

Moreover, as a wild Beyonder, I made some private investigations after contacting "Demoness Sect", which is very consistent with my identity. If I do nothing, it will appear that I have something evil inside.

After thinking about this, Angel tore off the page with the information on the notebook and put it into her pocket, and stuffed the notebook into the bookshelf. At this time, she glanced at the Noble Etiquette book that Sevillea had given her.

Her face changed several times, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally took out the book with the woman in costume on the cover and opened a page at random.

"Except for hunting, equestrian and other outdoor sports, women wearing trousers instead of skirts will be regarded as rude and impolite."

Etiquette Book closed with a snap, and Angel sighed again.

Mrs. Sevillea's mansion late at night.

In the luxuriously decorated bedroom, Mrs. Sevillea, who had dismissed her maid, stood in front of a full-length mirror and carefully applied some dark red substance around the mirror until the dark red material closed into a complete oval.

After incorporating a little Spirituality, she folded her hands on her abdomen, stood gracefully in front of the mirror as if welcoming a big shot, and waited patiently.

After an unknown amount of time, the mirror reflecting her black silk robe turned dark, and then traces of blood seeped out.

"What's the matter, Sevillea?"

A soft but low voice came, and the black mirror became transparent, as if it had become a window. Outside the window stood a graceful figure with his back to Sevillea, wearing a white robe, whose face could not be seen clearly. The sides of the robe were opened high, revealing slender legs.

She turned around and looked toward the "window."

"Lady Despair."

Sevillea lowered his head and saluted, and then continued:

"Trissy has been very restless recently. She is secretly looking for someone to help her collect information on 'Pleasure'. Maybe she wants to get out of the current predicament. According to your instructions, I did not stop her."

"It doesn't matter. No matter which direction she goes, she will eventually get close to 'Primordial'. This is a fact that has already been written down."

The woman in white robe replied in a soothing tone.

"Yes," Sevillea nodded, "Another thing, the person who sold the 'Witch' formula at the Mr. A party last week was an Witch from Tingen City. She lost contact with the upline and came to Backlund to look for promotion opportunities. As usual, I contacted her, left the cursed medium, and prepared to test her in the near future."

"Her appearance does not suit Viscount Glaint's preferences. I will try to get her close to the Earl Hall's daughter, become friends with her, and look for opportunities to exert influence on Earl."

"The appearance does not match? Have you confirmed that she is 'Witch'?"

"Yes," Sevillea responded quickly, "One of the subordinates I sent to follow her was attacked by her using a curse through her blood, and I confirmed her Pathway."

"Do you need me to hold off and confirm again?"

She asked hesitantly, as if she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, her body leaned forward and lowered a lot.

"There is no need to discuss such a small matter with me. You can handle it yourself." The woman in white robe didn't care much about this. She turned her face to her side, as if there were other movements over there, "Be careful of the Earl Hall Beyonder around you., he is a believer of Evernight Goddess, holds a high position, and is generous. I am afraid that Nighthawks will pay attention to such nobles all the time. Be careful not to alarm them. You have a good idea in choosing her daughter as your target."

"At this time, caution is the top priority, and I will always pay attention to your results."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of fog surged in the full-length mirror, and then the mirror returned to normal, and the dark red substance that had been smeared around it had completely disappeared.

Sevillea breathed a sigh of relief, covered the full-length mirror with a black cloth, and rang the bell to call the maid, "Get ready, I want to take a bath."

Her silk robe was soaked with sweat.

Friday afternoon, Divination Club's "Seer Witch" room.

Angel took a piece of information in her hand and read it word for word. The lively sound next door that didn't sound like a divination room came to her ears, making her unable to fully concentrate.

Mrs. Sevillea Landon, 32 years old this year, married the widowed Baron Landon three years ago. The two are very loving and frequently appear together in social situations.

But a year ago, Baron Landon suffered a serious illness and died immediately. He had no heirs, so most of his property, including several properties of Backlund, a large area of land of East Chester County and part of the factory shares, were inherited by his widow, Mrs. Sevillea Landon.

The young and wealthy Baroness immediately became Backlund's hottest socialite.

Why am I not surprised at all?

Looking at this resume that was exactly the same as Madam Sharon, Angel recalled the woman wearing a black robe he saw the night before yesterday.

She must have used some method, such as a curse or drugs, to solve the problem of Baron, who remarried, and then inherited his huge inheritance.

And the daughter who lets herself get close to the Earl Hall may not have a close relationship with the Earl family, and there is an attempt to introduce other "Demoness"...

"Demoness Sect" does this form a path dependency?

Aurora Order kills people and sets fire, Demoness people occupy the magpie's nest, everyone has a bright future...

After secretly complaining, Angel put away the information he bought from Kaspars of "Bravehearts Bar" for 15 pounds, and then took out the Etiquette Book to supplement relevant knowledge.

No matter what identity Sevillea is, if he wants to infiltrate Demoness Sect, he must complete her mission. If Noble Etiquette makes a fool of himself in the salon because he doesn't understand Noble Etiquette, I'm afraid his undercover career will end on the spot.

What's more, she left a tube of blood as a "hostage". The fate of her failed mission may not be much better. Even if she is also Demoness Pathway, the curse of Sevillea may not be able to kill her directly, but the other party is quite confident in this measure to prevent rebellion, and I am afraid she will have to shed her skin even if she does not die.

"Bang, bang."

Before she could read a few pages, there was a heavy knock on the door of the divination room.

As a strong smell of tobacco came, Angel welcomed another customer.

This is a worried middle-aged man. His stubble seems to have been unkempt for a long time, and his hair is messy. He is wearing an expensive-looking windbreaker, but it is full of wrinkles and the hem of his shirt is drooping.

"I want to divine the whereabouts of my daughter. The more detailed the better!"
