It turns out that the "Master Key", which can open all locks and pass through various obstacles, was transformed into the unlucky man after his death...
It seems that what he took was probably Sequence 9's "Apprentice" Potion.
Angel remembered Fors Wall that she saw at Viscount Glaint's party this afternoon. She was Beyonder of "Apprentice" Pathway, and she showed similar abilities to brass keys.
I just don't know when and where this person died, and how this key fell into the hands of Father Utravsky.
Just looking at this divination screen, it is impossible to confirm what the so-called "curse" of Master Key is. Although the negative effect of easily getting lost is annoying, it cannot be called a curse in any case, right?
Moreover, this unlucky "Apprentice" reserve claimed to be reviving Abraham Family, so he is probably a member of the family. Although this family is very active in Fourth Epoch, it is Tudor Dynasty The great nobleman of E, but now he is Fifth Epoch. Abraham has long been lost in history. There are only a few descendants left, and the famous Beyonder has never been born again.
"It's a pity that another Abraham Family member lost control and died... It seems that becoming Sequence 9 is not as risk-free as the church's internal information says."
After erasing the divination screen on Magic Mirror, Angel played with the key in his hand, still hesitating whether to follow the advice of "Bernadette" and reduce the time of carrying and using it.
"Find an opportunity to ask that Priest. Maybe he knows something. Before that, the use of 'Master Key' for unlocking is still greater than the side effect of making me get lost."
Putting the key into her pocket, she returned to the one-bedroom bedroom, ready to rest for a night before returning to Backlund Bridge Borough.
On Wednesday, Angel once again came to her exclusive room Divination Club. Unfortunately, due to the recent serial murders, there were a lot fewer guests here, but at least there was free coffee and newspapers. She paid a 15-pound membership fee to join the club, so she could not waste these benefits.
And judging from the performance for more than half a month, even if there is no "acting" in front of a large number of people like the Tingen Tragedy or East Borough gas explosion incident, and she only gives some malicious guidance during divination, she is very likely to digest Witch's Potion within three months and make final preparations for promotion.
If by then she still couldn't get the complete formula and the other half of the Potion materials from Sevillea, she planned to find a solution from Lola.
Spreading out today's "Backlund Morning News" out of boredom, Angel first checked on the fifth page to see if there were any missing persons notices for Mr. A or goods acquisition advertisements for "Eye of Wisdom". Unfortunately, neither of the two Beyonder parties had any intention of holding one.
"It seems that the serial murders have affected the business of all parties. The Beyonder party did not dare to hold, and the Divination Club was also much deserted. Hiss-" She took a sip of coffee and gasped from the heat. "Fortunately, the fortune teller next door has no business, so I can feel more balanced."
After listening for a moment, Angel smiled, turned the newspaper back to the first page, and started reading the news.
"The twelfth victim appears, this time at West Borough, Sivellaus Yard is furious!"
The front page was actually about another serial murder case, and it was less than a week since the eleventh one.
The poor deceased lived in King's Avenue in West Borough, not far from the museum that Angel and Audrey and others visited yesterday. He was a fashion designer who had just become famous. The police estimated that the time of death was yesterday evening, but the body was not discovered until late at night by the landlord who smelled the smell of blood, and it made the news before the morning paper was printed.
The reporter dug up gossipy news about the deceased who had worked as a street girl several times when she was poor. Although it was somewhat disrespectful to the deceased, it did allow Angel to obtain effective information: the killer's target is still those young women who have had street street experience.
Thinking of what Lola once said, Devil Pathway Promotion Ritual, she guessed that the murderer's obsessive-compulsive choice of target might have some purpose.
But even if Beyonder committed the crime and killed twelve people in Loen's capital Backlund and yet he was not caught, could it be that Orthodox Church and the military's Beyonders had nothing to do with him?
He was so efficient in finding Difference Engine Manuscript, yet he still fought in the street...
Cursing the official inefficiency, Angel continued to read the newspaper.
""Government Employees Unified Examination Act" is advancing rapidly, and the job requirements for the year-end exam have been announced... The reform is very fast. Is it in the interest of some people? I remember that Mr. Benson learned about the reform in advance and has been preparing for it for a long time. I hope he can pass the exam so that he and Melissa can live a better life."
"List of members of 'Atmospheric Pollution Investigation Committee'... Is Backlund finally going to take action against this smog that never sees the light of day? The chief secretary is Hibbert Hall, he and Earl Hall, are they related to the Audrey Hall? There is Viscount Glaint among the members. Is this the reason why 'Demoness Sect' is close to the viscount and Earl Hall's family?"
It was Angel's habit to think more when reading the news, but after she turned a few pages, her eyes instantly fell on a familiar name in the corner.
This is an obituary. The Jason O'Neill family living in Cherwood Borough committed suicide by jumping off Tussock River after leaving a suicide note. The bodies of the couple have been found, but the whereabouts of their daughter Emily O'Neill is still unknown.
This family has no other relatives in Backlund, but they left a part of the inheritance. This obituary is for the purpose of publicizing the death and looking for other possible successors.
After reading the short obituary, Angel could not believe that Mr. O'Neill, who had met her a few days ago, committed suicide with her family like this.
"He also said at that time that he would move to Midseashire and take good care of his daughter. How could it happen in the blink of an eye..."
Recalling the man who was neatly dressed and with a smile back on his face, Angel pursed his lips, untied the citrine pendant on his wrist, thought about it again, put down the pendant, and took out Magic Mirror.
"Magic Mirror Magic Mirror tell me the truth about Mr. Jason O'Neill's death."
The mirror soon showed a picture of Mr. O'Neill, his daughter Emily and a woman embracing each other, and then Tussock River jumping off hand in hand. The scene was silent, but it shocked Angel's heart.
Was it really suicide?
Or maybe the divination screen was disturbed... but the disturbed black fog did not appear, but the normal divination results were displayed.
Unless, the other party has Beyonder who specializes in Anti-Divination, or Mystical Item with similar effects, disguising Anti-Divination as a false, but "truth" that will not be discovered...
Looking at Hidden Holy Emblem hanging on the silver chain of the citrine pendant, Angel had another guess.
"Is Kaspars here?"
In Bravehearts Bar, Angel lies on the bar and asks the idle bartender.
Before the latter had time to answer, a man with a protruding mouth who was drinking and said with a smile:
"Kaspars Old Man was driven away by our boss. Now his business belongs to us. If you want anything, just say it."
At this time, the bartender nodded slightly, indicating that the man was right.
Drive away? Could it be a conflagration between gangs to seize territory?
Angel frowned. She came to Kaspars to ask about the details of Mr. O'Neill's original search for her daughter, such as which Detective was entrusted and where she found her daughter. But if Kaspars is not here...
"Can you recommend any Detective who are good at finding people? A friend of mine came to Kaspars at the beginning of the month, hoping to find help from these Detective. Well, the effect is very good."
She made up a reason to see if the guys who "inherited" Kaspars's business had the same information channels.
Sure enough, after the man with the protruding mouth walked into a small room, he returned to the bar soon, holding a note in his hand.
"I asked an old friend. The lame guy Kaspars recommended this Detective last time. The matter was solved in one day!" He turned the note upside down on the stage and motioned for Angel to pay, "One pound is cheaper than Kaspars."
After paying the information fee of 1 pound and getting the note, Angel looked at the content above.
"Sherlock Moriarty, private Detective who is good at handling various matters, charges reasonable fees, strictly abides by the principle of confidentiality, and lives in Cherwood Borough 15 Minsk Street."
