On Sunday morning, Angel came to Divination Club as usual.
The club has many more customers on weekends than on weekdays, even at this time when Serial Killer is being arrested all over the city and every young woman is in danger.
Angel already wasted a day yesterday, so he couldn't miss the opportunity to play today.
Although there have been a lot less love divination recently, and other types of divination, such as divination about finding people and things, she is not willing to deceive the other party, so there are not many opportunities to play.
Carrying coffee and holding the newspaper under her arm, she came to her "Seer Witch" room. As soon as Angel sat down, the door was gently pushed open, and Mr. O'Neill, whom she had seen before, walked in.
This middle-aged man's original sloppy beard and hair have been taken care of. He is wearing a neat shirt, vest, windbreaker, and a half-top hat. He looks completely different from the way he looked distraught after losing his daughter.
"Miss, fortune teller, I'm here to thank you. With your help and the assistance of Detective introduced by Bravehearts Bar, I finally found my daughter Emily."
Sure enough, Mr. O'Neill expressed his gratitude to her as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I'm glad to hear the news. She wasn't harmed, was she?"
Angel asked.
"Praise to Goddess. She returned home safely. Although the gangsters escaped, Detective who helped me said that they will be wanted and will be arrested soon. This makes me relieved."
"Unfortunately, Emily was so frightened that she suffered some psychological trauma. I took her to see Psychiatrist. The doctor said that in this case it is best to let her change her living environment and stay away from familiar places, and she will slowly get better."
Mr. O'Neill seems to have quit smoking recently. He wanted to grab his hands into the inner pocket of his windbreaker several times, but he resisted. The unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke disappeared from his body. If the teeth that were occasionally exposed were not a little burnt, it would be impossible to tell that he was addicted to tobacco.
"Our family has no other relatives in Backlund, so we are planning to leave here and move to Midseashire. Maybe we won't come back in the next few years. Before leaving, I made a special trip to express my gratitude to you."
After saying that, Mr. O'Neill took out an envelope and gently placed it on Angel's fortune-telling table.
"Here is 50 pounds. Although it is far less than my gratitude, I am sorry that we have been in some financial difficulties recently and this is all we can offer."
50 pounds, buying "Storm Convergence" bullets is enough to kill those gangsters several times!
Angel was a little surprised. She felt that she shouldn't want the money.
In the process of searching for Emily, she only did a divination, and even accidentally met Rose Bishop from Aurora Order at East Borough. She divined the whereabouts of Lanevus based on his corpse, and finally killed her enemy.
The other party is planning to move in the near future and needs this money even more.
Just when she was about to refuse, O'Neill exhaled as if she had completed her task, turned around and left the divination room, her regular and powerful steps gradually fading away.
"I found my daughter. His whole temperament is different... but not quite like normal. It seems that his whole body is tense. Alas, I hope their family can heal their psychological trauma in Midseashire."
Angel, who had no time to speak, could only pick up the envelope and accepted the 50 pounds reward.
In the afternoon, Angel came to West Borough's Sevillea home to pick up the Beyonder Ingredients that he had promised on Wednesday.
At Reception Room on the first floor, she met Mrs. Sevillea in a Black Veil dress. The latter dismissed the maid, took out a delicate iron box, and opened it in front of Angel.
There was a small pouch placed on the red velvet pad in the box. It was purple-black in color and shaped like a heart. Its surface was covered with translucent, spider-like objects. Just staring at it made Angel feel unable to look away, and his hands and feet also felt stiff.
With a "pop" sound, Sevillea closed the iron box, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it over.
"As agreed, this is the reward you deserve, 'Adult Widow Giant Spider's Silk Gland', which is part of Sequence 6's Potion 'Pleasure'. The other part, as well as the complete Potion formula, will be given to you after you complete the task."
Hearing Sevillea call "Demoness of Pleasure" again "Pleasure", Angel felt a little strange, but he still took the iron box obediently.
She suspected that the task of "getting close to Miss Audrey and becoming her friend" was not as simple as it seemed. She was already close to the other party, but judging from Sevillea's words, it seemed that it was far from over. Maybe the follow-up tasks would not be known to her until the right time.
"Next Tuesday, Viscount Glaint will hold a salon in the afternoon. It's still the same. Come to my place in advance and remember to change into new clothes."
After handing over the mission reward, Baroness regained his expression with some alienation and some temptation, and gave instructions.
"By the way, have you got the results for the Potion formula of 'Apothecary'?"
"We have some clues. If nothing else happens, we can buy the formula next week. The other party offered 200 pounds, and I agreed."
Angel replied.
She originally wanted to say that she had it now, but then she thought about it, maybe she could reimburse it once at the Viscount's place, and then reimburse it here again later, instead of handing over the formula now.
"Very good. When you get the formula, give me a copy. This is a mission expense and can be reimbursed."
This lady seemed to be slowly becoming familiar with the word "reimbursement", which made Angel feel very pleased.
Moreover, unlike Apothecary Darkwill, I had not sworn an oath, and Father Utravsky did not ask myself to keep it secret. There was no psychological burden for selling the "Apothecary" formula twice.
Thinking about it this way, the frustration of needing to buy a new dress was alleviated a lot.
Seeing Miss Audrey Hall in a light yellow dress walking elegantly among the salon guests, Angel recalled the Noble Etiquette book he got from Sevillea, and tried to learn based on the knowledge points in it.
Viscount Glaint walked by, nodded slightly after Angel moved his eyes to him, and then walked away holding the wine glass without talking to each other.
She knew that this was the Viscount's move to avoid attracting the attention of other guests.
After about ten minutes, when the atmosphere in the salon reached a climax with the beautiful music, Angel secretly left through the side door and was led by the viscount's maid to the study where they met last week.
Walking through the partition, she was surprised to find a lady already sitting in the study.
The other party was about a little shorter than Miss Audrey. She was wearing a dark green skirt with a purple shawl on her shoulders. Her long brown hair was slightly curly. Her light blue eyes looked curiously at Angel who entered the study.
Excluding Xio Derecha and the two nobles that she has already met, is she the last member of "Occult Salon"?
"Hello, Ms. Fors Wall, I am Irene Watson, nice to meet you."
Seemingly surprised that Angel knew her name, Fors raised his slender eyebrows and answered with a smile:
"Hello, Watson, just call me Fors. Please wait a moment, they will be here soon."
Angel also found a chair and sat down, while Fors resumed his lazy posture, slumped on the sofa, and continued to read a large book.
After nearly half an hour, just when Angel was getting impatient, Viscount Glaint and Miss Audrey came to the study.
"Welcome, Miss Irene, Ms. Fors, there are too many enthusiastic ladies in the salon, which took me a little time."
The Viscount apologized, took off his tuxedo, hung it on the coat rack nearby, and sat on another single sofa. Audrey came to sit behind the desk, like the host of a party.
"Fors, this is Irene Watson Miss who has recently joined us, and is a Beyonder; Irene, this is Fors Wall. As I told you, the author of "Wuthering Heights" is also a Beyonder."
Audrey introduced the two of them, and the two who had just met each other stood up again and said hello.
After sitting down, the Viscount introduced how the two joined Occult Salon. Angel had heard about Fors last week in order to save Xio Derecha took the initiative to contact the Viscount's story and was not surprised at this time, while Fors was also a little lazy, sitting on the armchair, looking at Angel sometimes, and sometimes looking at the two nobles.
Fors did not take the initiative to mention her Potion Sequence, and out of courtesy between Beyonder, Angel did not ask, but both nobles should know it, just like she also demonstrated her Beyonder Ability when she joined.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the Viscount couldn't wait to ask about the formula:
"Miss Irene, is there any news about my 'Apothecary' Potion?"
