The handsome man in mid-air was wearing a straight double-breasted dress and shiny leather shoes, as if he had just stepped out of the banquet and stepped on the invisible floor in the air.
His golden eyes instantly locked onto the ruin-like dining room of the villa, and onto the mysterious woman who flashed a burst of fire as she approached the ground and then disappeared.
With a cold snort, the man raised his left hand lightly, and mysterious and complicated patterns and symbols poured out around him, about to form a new door in front of him, but then, these symbols and patterns floated in the wind and disappeared.
"Unable to lock...Anti-Divination that surpasses Demigod?"
After a while, he murmured, his left hand raised on the spot, and he didn't know whether to put it down for a moment.
At this time, a gust of wind blew past him, and the figure that was still vaguely visible in the distance flew next to the man in the dress.
The person who came was lifted up by the strong wind, wearing a black robe embroidered with the Storm symbol, a soft hat of the same color, and a serious face. He was Cardinal Bishop of Church of Storms, Archbishop of Backlund Diocese, "Spellsinger of God" Ace Snake.
"Celt? Why are you here?"
Cherwood Borough belongs to our Church of Storms, and is managed by Saint Wind Cathedral's "Mandated Punishers" - his serious face expressed the unsaid words.
"I live nearby. I heard some noise and came over to take a look."
The handsome man known as Celt replied, his eyes sweeping over the still burning villa and the citizens on the road who were watching the explosion site and watching the girls huddled together, his expression not very good.
"Who was that just now?"
Ace, who came a step late, only saw a figure jumping from the attic in the distance, while Celt, who had already arrived, stood blankly in the air and couldn't help but ask aloud.
"Not sure, but she has powerful Anti-Divination measures."
After a brief exchange between the two people floating in the air, they came to the top of the villa and slowly landed on the lawn.
Ace Snake looked towards the wall of the restaurant where a large hole was opened. A violent hurricane blew up and rolled around the entrance of the hole several times. The negative pressure formed absorbed the flames and smoke in the hurricane, and then they poured into the fountain pool in the center of the lawn as if commanded by someone. The high temperature and water collided with each other, creating a burst of steam.
Seeing that the flames were extinguished and the smoke dissipated, Celt quickly walked into the restaurant and looked at the corpse of the servant pinned down by the broken wall. Parker had a bullet hole in his forehead, Katie was bloody and breathless, and Capim was lying on his back on the ground with his body covered with Tarot Cards.
There is a main card on each of his eyes, which are "Judgment" with Angel blowing the horn and "Emperor" with armor and crown.
For no apparent reason, he thought of the woman wearing similar armor who had just disappeared before his eyes.
"There are some attendants in other rooms and some guards outside, but they don't dare to approach."
Ace's voice came from behind him. Archbishop approached slowly and looked around at the miserable situation in the restaurant. His face was even uglier than Celt's.
"Tarot Cards?"
Looking at Capim, the only one in the field who died in a strange way, Archbishop asked doubtfully.
"This is the second similar case recently," Celt said to himself. He is from the military, so he knows some information that has not been made public. "In early October, 'True Creator' tried to come to Backlund through a fraudster. After the incident was solved by the military and Nighthawks, the fraudster was tortured to death in the sewer, and his body was also covered with Tarot Cards."
"This seems to have a certain meaning. 'Judgment' is the motive and purpose. 'Emperor' may represent the woman who disappeared just now, and Tarot Cards is spread all over the body..."
Halfway through the analysis, Eska lost his temper. He looked at Celt, who answered:
"I also think so. She should belong to a new secret organization. After committing the crime, she would cover the dead target with Tarot Cards as a sign to announce to other members that the target has been solved and to show her existence to the outside world."
But the same big card was sprinkled on the deceased last time, and this time it seems to be all the big Minor Arcana in the same deck. Perhaps it is the style difference between different members, "Empress", and "Emperor", ha, is it provoking Augustus Family...
Celt recalled the internal information of the military and tried to find other similar cases.
"Perhaps you will know all this if you catch up with that mysterious woman just now."
"Spellsinger of God" looked at Celt, as if he had just remembered that Beyonder from the military was also responsible for the extraordinary events that happened to Backlund.
He was a little late and only saw the woman's figure falling to the ground and then disappearing. She should have used some kind of fast movement method. There were too many Beyonder Sequence with this ability. Even the High Sequence from the military in front of him could do this with Mystical Item.
With this ability alone, it is impossible to determine the identity of the opponent, but as long as Cester uses the Teleportation ability to block the opponent, then...
"She is just Mid Sequence, Sequence 6 at most, but Anti-Divination with Angel level," Celt glanced at Archbishop from the corner of his eye, who was often late for important events, "I think we should maintain a little respect for the big shot behind her. Maybe you can try to negotiate?"
Ace Snake did not answer.
A Angel, even the Angel of those Pathway who are not good at fighting, as long as they move their fingers, even if there is a Mid Sequence of Beyonder standing in every room in this villa, they will die silently, and there is no need to make such a big noise.
Unless, this ritual-like scene has some special meaning, or Angel himself is inconvenient to take action, but sent a subordinate to handle it.
To track and provoke this Angel, or his men?
The two were silent for a moment, and tacitly decided to report it afterwards instead of discussing whether they should pursue him or not.
They split up and continued to search every corner of the restaurant, intending to piece together clues to see what happened.
Outside the villa, a group of Mandated Punishers arrived in a carriage and began to block the scene with the assistance of the police and drive away the people.
"Just come here. It should not be far from Minsk Street."
Angel said.
After she met Sherlock, she ran along the sewer for more than one kilometer, away from Capim's house, and came to the other side of Cherwood Borough.
At this time, the effect of her "Magician Pocket Watch" has long passed, and the next 12 hours will be difficult. Fortunately, the sewer environment of Cherwood Borough is slightly better than that of East Borough and Backlund Bridge Borough, otherwise their journey of this kilometer will be extremely difficult.
Although it was already dawn, there were many people in Backlund who were so luxurious that they even lit gas lamps during the day. After sending this enthusiastic Detective away, Angel would continue to return to East Borough's safe house through the sewer, waiting for the negative effects of the pocket watch to disappear.
A ray of sunlight shone into the underground manhole cover overhead, illuminating the small surrounding area. The two stood still in the light.
Angel took out a copper penny and threw it to Moriarty - this was the "reward" for the entrustment agreed upon in advance. The latter took it and bounced it with a "ding" sound. The coin fell into his palm, and the head of "George III" shone in the sun.
"The heads indicate affirmation. I assume you are divining the safety of those girls?"
Looking at the familiar coin divination, Angel asked with a smile.
After the discussions and arrangements before the battle and the opponent's performance during the battle, including the familiar "Flaming Jump" and "Paper Figurine Substitute", she already knew this Detective It's Sequence 7 of "Seer" Pathway, "Magician", which makes her self-proclaimed "divination expert" yesterday seem so ridiculous.
But compared to this embarrassment, she was more confused.
At the first "Eye of Wisdom" gathering, Moriarty seemed like an ordinary person who knew little about the field of occultism. Because he got into trouble with Beyonder, he looked around for a way to survive. Then he took Potion and became Beyonder.
But if this is the case, he is equivalent to being promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 in one month. Even Angel who knows "Acting Method" and can "Premature Acting" will feel ashamed.
The greater possibility is that he lied in front of others and hid his Beyonder identity. He was already Beyonder, and even had Sequence 7 at that time. This also makes his experience of solving Mid Sequence Beyonder with 400 pounds of Mystical Item credible.
Furthermore, his incredible "Spirit Body" ability obviously does not belong to "Magician" Sequence. In addition to possessing Magician Pocket Watch, Angel also fought against Magician, a Secret Order, and the other party did not show similar abilities. Spirit Body ization may belong to Sequence, the follow-up of Magician, but if Moriarty is Sequence 6, then he will not be anxious to ask for help from a group of Low Sequence Beyonder at the Beyonder party who are not as powerful as him.
So he must have some Mystical Item that allows him to transform into Armored Crowned Ghost, be able to plant explosives through buildings, exert negative effects through contact with the body, and even Beyonder that can damage the entire restaurant through Shriek.
Of course, everyone has secrets. She did not ask in detail. The two only cooperated for a short time and could not be called acquaintances. Didn't she tell the existence of "Madness Ring" and "Hidden Holy Emblem"?
However, Magician, Seer's Sequence 7...
If he is still alive, he should be almost "Magician" now, right?
Looking at the penny with the head upside down, Angel felt a little sad.
