After talking to Lola, she learned that Xio Derecha issued a commission at Mr. A's rally, asking Angel to "find himself", she had some doubts that behind Bounty Hunter, there was actually a member of Tarot Club.
Because people who know "Angel Granger", except for a few high-level church officials, already believe that she died in Tingen. After coming to Backlund, Angel has always appeared as "Irene Watson". The Hidden Holy Emblem she wears can also make most divination have no effect on her.
But there is an important point. She once deposited 350 pounds of debt in Backlund into the bearer account provided by Miss Justice. If this account only has Angel uses, and "Justice" Miss has gone to the bank to withdraw money, you will know that "Empress" of Tarot Club is still alive.
Tarot Club's person can analyze Potion Pathway and the location of the activities based on her past information. Even when entering Gray Fog for the first time, several standing Tarot Club members knew each other's height and body shape.
The keywords "height", "gender", "Potion Pathway" and "Tingen City" can be used to infer that the person looking for Angel is among Tarot Club.
Apart from Mr. Fool and himself, the only members of Tarot Club are Mr. Hanged Man and Miss Justice. The former wanders on the sea and only occasionally returns to land, while the latter is likely to be located in Backlund. He has a wealthy family and can even influence the upper echelons of the kingdom through himself and promote certain reforms.
In view of these possibilities, after meeting Miss Audrey, Angel tried it through language.
First of all, both nobles know that "Miss Irene" is Beyonder, which proves that Xio must have mentioned the details of last week's meeting to them, which side explains the relationship between Xio and Audrey; secondly, Angel provided After Mr. A's rally information, Audrey showed that she did not know Mr. A. Unfortunately, her friend, Viscount Glaint's disappointed expression showed that he had already participated in this rally and knew that no one sold the "Apothecary" formula there.
Considering the relationship between the two, it is quite possible that Audrey has also participated in the Mr. A rally. She can lie without hesitation and is very interested in "Spectator" Pathway. Angel speculates that she is preparing in advance to reveal her identity as Beyonder later.
The most important evidence is still the confirmation through body shape, height and other information after meeting directly. The moment the noble Miss stood up in the study room wearing flat shoes and faced Angel from the side, she recognized that the other person was Tarot Club's "Justice".
Unexpectedly, Miss Justice, who spends money like water in Tarot Club but seems ignorant of the world, is actually the daughter of the Earl Hall, one of the richest nobles in Backlund.
This also explains why she has the ability to influence the kingdom's policies. Her father is a member of the House of Lords...
Sighing at the horror of "Justice"'s true identity, Angel returned to the salon in the main hall. The lively music salon was coming to an end. Many nobles who were still interested were inviting each other to arrange their nightlife. She found Sevillea in the crowd. The latter dismissed the male guests around him with a hint of impatience. Seeing Angel approaching, he directly used this as an excuse to leave them.
"I thought you were taken to some dark room by the Viscount," she joked softly, and then increased her volume, "My good niece, since you are so tired, let's go back first."
"I didn't expect you to be able to strike up a conversation with Miss Audrey, and then you were invited to another room. I guess I had to talk to you alone?"
On the way back, Sevillea once again sent the maid to another car. He and Angel rode alone in the carriage and couldn't wait to ask about what happened in the salon.
"Yes, the Hugh Miss I met last week introduced me to Miss Audrey, so she came to invite me to participate today. Well, she and the Viscount established a Occult Salon."
"Occult Salon? Isn't it the kind of gathering where you can exchange information on how to perform Tarot Divination or mysterious rituals?"
"No, it's real occultism. Several members are Beyonder, and Audrey and Glaint are also very interested in Potion. The former yearns for the ability of 'Spectator' Potion, and the latter has spent a lot of time looking for the formula of 'Apothecary' Potion."
"'Spectator'... and 'Apothecary'..."
Sevillea repeated the two Sequence 9 and Potion formulas, and her frown showed that she had no clue.
"Sure enough, the nobles still love this kind of Potion." After a long while, she shook her head and abruptly changed the topic, "I once tried to lure them with 'assassin' or 'Hunter'Potion, but unfortunately no one was interested in it."
"Maybe they don't like it, or they don't need to fight and kill, so they choose potions with relatively 'mild' extraordinary abilities."
And if those nobles know the side effects of "Assassin", I am afraid that not only will they not be interested, but they will also cause trouble for you...
Angel swore. Seeing that Sevillea had taken the topic far away, he started talking about the formula again.
"In short, I think their demand for Potion will be a good starting point. I also agreed to help them find 'Spectator' and 'Apothecary'. If successful, it will be of great help to this mission."
"'Spectator'Pathway's Potion formula is mainly in the hands of Psychology Alchemists. Although they are hidden in the city and hard to find, I can Try to think of a way. As for 'Apothecary' Pathway, it belongs to a secret school. I have no clues at hand. You can try to buy it at other Beyonder gatherings."
"I will reimburse you the cost of the acquisition."
As if worried that Angel would not work hard enough, Sevillea added.
Then, she clapped her hands as if she remembered something, and said, "By the way, I almost forgot about your reward. Since you successfully approached Audrey Hall, part of the mission reward I promised you before will also be honored."
Angel's heart immediately lifted. She still remembered that Sevillea said at that time that the reward for this mission was the complete "Demoness of Pleasure" Potion, including the formula and Main Materials.
"'Adult Widow Giant Spider's Silk Gland', this is one of the main materials of 'Pleasure'. Three days later, you come to my mansion to get it. There is one remaining material, and the complete formula of Potion, which will be given to you when you make more progress in your mission."
Adult Widow Giant Spider's Silk Gland... I seem to have seen this name somewhere?
Angel thought about it and quickly recalled that someone had purchased this material at Mr. A's gathering.
Are there other Witchs waiting for promotion who are seeking Potion materials? Is it the wild Beyonder, or is it a member who is inside the Demoness Sect but has difficulty obtaining materials?
This may also be the reason why Sevillea gave the materials first instead of the formula first. She was worried that I would buy the materials myself after obtaining the formula and would not actively complete tasks close to Audrey...
After much hesitation, she still did not tell the other party about this discovery.
Soon, the carriage returned to Baron Landon's house. Angel still remembered her promise in the afternoon. He went in to find the housekeeper whom he met yesterday and collected 100 pounds of "mission expenses" to enrich his withered wallet. Then he left West Borough as night fell and took the subway back to the Backlund Bridge Borough domain.
When leaving the subway station, she was surprised to find that the Crimson Moon above her head had changed from a half moon to a full moon in just a few seconds!
There were many Passerby around who were also stopping to look up and observe, discussing in low voices, but their expressions and tone did not show panic, just confusion and curiosity.
This phenomenon of Moon rapidly changing from waning to full moon is not uncommon and happens several times almost every year. Neither astronomers nor Mysticologist can explain this rapid change of moon phases and can only attribute it to astronomical wonders.
Of course, in the field of occultism, this phenomenon is called "Blood Moon", and after many years of experience, it has been concluded that this time will bring about an explosion of Beyonder's negative emotions, and even affect Spirit World and Underworld, making it easier for some Pathway's Beyonder to lose control.
Looking at the full Blood Moon, which seemed to have grown several times larger, Angel felt a little palpitated, as if the moonlight through the thick fog was pressing heavily on him.
