"One serving of Dixie Pie, add more chopped apples, and another cup of Sweet Iced Tea."
At noon on Tuesday, the hungry Angel stood in front of a mobile vendor near his home and made plans for his lunch.
She spent the whole morning wandering around the streets of Bridge District, visiting medicine shops, flower shops and some occult shops with weird decorations. She exhausted all her energy in order to collect "Demoness of Pleasure" Potion and Auxiliary Materials.
Black Mandala Flower is easy to find. In order to prevent accidents, she even bought a pot of flowers to prepare for on-site juice extraction. Pure Water is also a cheap product that can be found everywhere, but the rest of the items are not so simple.
After careful searching, Angel bought a jar of Feynapotter Fly in an occult store. They were all still alive, flying in the glass jar with ventilation holes until they were exhausted, and then fell to the bottom of the jar, twitching their wings.
Unfortunately, after a simple divination, Angel confirmed that two-thirds of them were flies born in Loen or even Backlund. She went to great lengths to select the foreign flies that met the requirements, put them into ventilated glass jars, and placed them next to the study window to prolong their survival as long as possible.
As for "Real Mummy Ashes", Angel walked through the streets and alleys, but did not encounter any sellers of this best-selling product that was said to be able to enhance certain male abilities. Until near noon, outside a drug store near East Borough, a sneaky businessman approached her and took the initiative to sell the precious Mummy Powder powder.
The powder was expensive. To be cautious, Angel only bought 2 grams as a target for divination. If it was genuine, she planned to come back to the businessman who promised to wait for her in the afternoon.
Unfortunately, Angel avoided Passerby's sight before going very far, and used Magic Mirror Divination to confirm that these were just ordinary wall dust. When she returned to the place in anger, the merchant who sold the powder had already fled, making her extremely angry.
It seems that this kind of material can only be found at the Beyonder party, especially Fat Apothecary Darkwill at the "Eye of Wisdom" party. His very popular strengthening potion may be made from mummy powder.
Chewing the hot Dixie Pie, feeling the oily aroma of fat meat and the sweet and sour taste of chopped apples between her teeth, Angel came to the subway station and took the subway to West Borough's Sevillea home to receive her "task reward".
Now when she goes out, she doesn't walk when she can choose public transportation. If it's too remote, she hires a carriage to avoid being affected by "Master Key" and accidentally turning into a strange alley, wasting precious time.
She even suspected that the strange negative effect of Master Key was taking effect when she met "Devil Dog" last week, which reminded Angel of Bernadette she met in the museum., the other party told her that this key had a "dangerous curse". At first she thought it was a curse directed at the precious Gold Pound in her pocket, but she also felt that such a strong High Sequence should not be so vulgar.
Now it seems that is indeed the case.
On the subway, she bought a copy of that day's "Backlund Morning News" and was disappointed to find that Mr. A still had no intention of holding a rally, but the news in the in-depth reporting section contained reports that interested her.
"Confirmed! Capim is suspected of multiple missing cases of underage girls. The police remind citizens to pay attention to strangers around them!"
After reading this report, Angel discovered that Capim's kidnapping of multiple girls had been dug up by the police and the Church of Storms "Mandated Punishers" people behind it. In addition to the girls who were let go that day, there were at least twenty others More than one person has disappeared. They may have been sold to Backlund's filthy brothels under the arrangement of Capim. They may have entered the private residences of some nobles who will not be reported at all. They may even have left Backlund and traveled to farther cities.
Most of the remaining properties of Capim, who was identified as a human trafficker, were confiscated, including the villa that had half of it destroyed by the explosion. His family members were missing during the incident, and the police are collecting relevant clues.
Angel speculated that Capim's family had either moved out of town long ago, or been captured by the real "human traffickers" behind him and used them as hostages to force him to behave.
But no matter what, Capim himself is a villain and deserves to die.
I just don't know what other organizations or individuals behind him besides "Demoness Sect" have given him constant support, and even sent many Beyonder to protect and monitor him.
Angel, who was killing time with newspapers, soon came to West Borough and arrived at the mansion of Sevillea Landon Baroness.
The sleepy-eyed "Demoness of Pleasure", after many years of aristocratic life, his biological clock has been consistent with that of Backlund, the nobles who played every night. He just woke up from his sleep and received Angel with an unhappy look on his face.
"I even doubt that you gave me the task of investigating Atmospheric Committee, whether it was the arrangement of 'Lady Despair' or the result of your own laziness."
Angel said with sarcasm, taking a rather large copper-clad wooden box from the other party's hand.
"Of course it is the request of 'Lady Despair'. We all need to get closer to 'Primordial', and she is ahead of everyone."
Sevillea answered seriously.
In front of the other party, Angel opened the lid of the copper-clad wooden box. This was not consistent with the container she thought "contained eyeballs", but instead seemed to contain someone's head.
Inside the wooden box, on a thick red velvet cushion, was a pair of eyes similar to the size of a normal person. The light green pupils looked weird under the gray-white, bloodshot sclera. Being "stared" by them, Angel felt cold all over.
She suddenly remembered the strange eyeball that separated out after Madam Sharon's death in Tingen City's Nighthawks station. Except for the pupil color being a little different, the feelings it gave her were exactly the same.
"Is this 'Succubus's Eyes'?"
Forcing himself to look away and get rid of the chill on his body, Angel asked cautiously.
"Yes, they and the silk glands you got before are all the main materials of 'Pleasure'." Sevillea yawned and replied, "Look carefully in the box. Is there anything else?"
Angel looked inside the wooden box again at her reminder and found some translucent threads around the pair of eyeballs, which looked like the Invisible Spider Silk of "Demoness of Pleasure" she had seen, and also looked like some kind of long hair rolled together...
Could it be Succubus's hair?
She was startled, and with a look of curiosity on her face, she raised her head and asked, "What is this? It looks a bit like spider silk."
"They are all the hair of this banshee whose eyes were removed. They are considered as bonus materials. You will know the use later. Remember not to separate them from the eyes, otherwise they will soon lose their function. By then, you can spend your own money to buy new ones."
Sure enough, this is the hair of Succubus... But this means that a banshee can only get one copy of Auxiliary Materials, which will obviously increase the price of the material. No, the eyes cannot Regeneration, but the hair can, so the former is Main Materials, and the latter is only for auxiliary use...
Is it true that what Lola said about the Demoness Sect raising Succubus in captivity?
Resisting his curiosity, Angel closed the box with a slightly puzzled expression.
"Now, the only thing left on your road to 'Pleasure' is the complete formula. This time you completed the task at the Earl Hall's house well. You have passed the test of the sect. When the next order arrives, you may be able to get the formula."
After handing over the materials, the tiredness on Sevillea's face obviously increased. She took a sip of black tea to dispel the sleepiness, and then said:
"The stupid 'Devil' who was seeking promotion in Backlund was killed by the official Beyonder. The various Beyonder gatherings should gradually resume operations. You should pay attention to those who sell the properties of 'Arbiter' Pathway. If I get important clues, I will give you the formula in advance."
It's a pity, I have already got the formula from Lola, and confirmed it with divination, plus the "Succubus Hair" you gave me today, two-phase verification, confirmed it is correct.
Angel thought secretly, but readily agreed.
