"We worship Moon, not Evernight Goddess."
In his study room, he dipped his hands in ink and copied the first sentence of "Secret Book", and Angel frowned.
The author of this book, "Shaman King Klarman" is an early Fifth Epoch, that is, a High Sequence Beyonder 0 who was active in the Southern Continent more than a thousand years ago., he recorded a lot of knowledge about Mystic Ritual, astrology, and curse spells in the book, but he also clearly pointed out in the book that these rituals and spells all come from the worship of Primordial Moon.
There is even this Honorific Name of "Primordial Moon" in the book:
Unique Red Moon,
Symbol of Life and Beauty,
Mother of All Spiritual Power.
Worried that such three clear paragraphs Honorific Name pointed to a mysterious existence, Angel did not dare to directly copy this description, but silently kept it in mind.
She only had one week to borrow "Secret Book". She obviously didn't have time to fully understand the contents of the book, so she had no choice but to copy down the important contents first and study them slowly later.
Although this book was not as full of powerful spells, mysterious rituals and other content that could immediately improve combat effectiveness as she had imagined, this knowledge still filled Angel, who only had a rough understanding of occultism, with joy.
She has only been Nighthawks for two months. Although she has learned a lot of knowledge from the church's internal classics, she is still far from being proficient. Cole Granger is also half-illiterate in occultism. The occult knowledge in this book is very useful to her.
During the copying process, Angel learned more about the role between Spirit World and his own Beyonder Ability, as well as the construction and purpose of various rituals. Some even wanted to try to use this knowledge to strengthen the curses and spells originated from Witch and Demoness of Pleasure.
For example, after she was promoted, she had imagined using mirrors and blood to communicate with Spirit World for remote communication.
Angel believes that as long as you continue to study this book "Secret Book", all of this will be possible.
"Fool does not belong to this era..."
In the basement with candles burning, essential oils and herbal powders burning, Angel put his hands together, entered a meditative state, and silently recited "Fool" Honorific Name over and over again.
During this repetition, she felt that her body and mind during meditation entered a state of Spirituality divergence, and soon became hazy, but she maintained the final clarity, as if watching her spirit float out of the body from another perspective, gradually rising, and entering Spirit World.
This "Mystic Ritual" is called "Artificial Sleepwalking" in "Secret Book". It is the method that Mr. Fool temporarily taught Angel to give blessings to Angel.
In the haze, she felt as if she had returned to the Gray Fog where the Tarot Club was held, entered the ancient palace, and saw Mr. Fool sitting high on the head of the long bronze table.
Then, a "Angel" that was so thin that it seemed to have no thickness, but with twelve pairs of black wings on its back, floated down and merged with Angel's Spirit Body in the deep red light. The layers of black wings were also wrapped together, like a black cocoon.
After an unknown amount of time, Angel woke up in the basement and found that the candle in front of her had only burned a small part, and the aroma of herbs and essential oils in the space had not yet dispersed, indicating that not long time had passed, but she seemed to have been stunned for several hours.
"Praise Fool!"
She recited Fool's name again, then packed up the altar and returned to the first floor to prepare for possible scrutiny from Nighthawkss in the afternoon.
According to her knowledge of Nighthawks, Backlund Diocese should be able to arrange for Sequence 6's "Sleepless" Pathway Beyonder to pull her into Dream Invasion when she went to Audrey's home for interrogation in her dream. And if you don't pay enough attention to the death of Ms. D, the only person who will come is Sequence 7's "Nightmare". With the blessing given by Mr. Fool and the Night Emblem I wear, it is more than enough to deal with these Beyonder.
The only problem is that someone witnessed her fighting Ms. D that night. If that couple also accepted Nighthawks's questioning, they might describe her appearance and let Nighthawks easily discovered that "Irene Watson" was Beyonder who killed Ms. D that day, not Seer who killed Sequence 9.
Of course, the effect of "Madness Ring" will make people who have only a casual relationship with her quickly forget the details of her appearance, and then become completely unrecognizable in the process of "brain enhancement".
Based on her experience of having her dreams invaded by "Nightmare" many times, if the target of their invasion is awake, they can make certain changes to the dream, which gives her room to muddle through.
Before Angel went out, he tied the long black hair that he had transformed into Madness Ring behind his head, and put on the soft hat introduced to Backlund after Intis became popular in the past two years, covering most of his hair. He naturally narrowed his eyes and squeezed out a smile.
With the help of Demoness of Pleasure's ability to change her own temperament, even without any change in her face, she immediately showed a youthful and energetic temperament that was completely different from her heroic appearance that night.
"This should be fine... If it doesn't work, I can only take out the Dark Holy Emblem and use the identity of Arianna to prevent them from telling the truth..."
Standing in front of the full-length mirror in the bedroom with his new look, Angel stroked the holy symbol and citrine hanging around his neck and hanging down on his chest, thinking to himself.
Taking a hired carriage to the Earl Hall mansion of Empress Borough, Angel found that there were only a few Hall Family carriages and an unmarked black carriage parked in front of the mansion. No other noble cars were seen.
She guessed that Audrey told her that the tea party would be earlier than other nobles, in order to leave time for Nighthawks.
Fortunately, she was already prepared and did not show any emotional changes. Instead, she was guided by the maid to the small room next to Reception Room and waited there.
The maid poured the black tea for her and then left the room. Angel sat on the sofa with her eyes gently closed, as if she was taking a nap, but she was a little nervous inside. She knew that a certain Nighthawks might be next door, not far from her, trying to put her to sleep.
Sure enough, when the fragrance of tea filled the entire room, she felt a faint cold touch and a reassuring wave from the dark holy symbol on her chest.
She opened her eyes and found that the room was no different from before, as if the changes in the Holy Emblem were just her illusion, but with the blessing of "Angel", she could feel that it was completely different now than it was a few minutes ago.
As soon as her thoughts moved, the Sun outside the window immediately sank below the horizon. A faint afterglow shrouded the room, making everything in the room dark and unclear. The same was true for the Angel facing the window.
"Click -" There was a soft sound, and a tall man wearing a half-high black top hat pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the dim scene in the room, he seemed stunned for a moment, walked briskly to the wall, turned on the gas lamp, and then sat on the sofa opposite Angel.
"Long wait, Irene Watson Miss," he greeted casually, took off his top hat and put it aside. He crossed his right leg on his left leg and assumed a natural sitting posture, as if he had returned to his own home. "Did you go to Hillston Borough's Burningham Road with Miss Audrey last Sunday evening?"
Are these "Nightmare" so familiar in dreams...
Thinking nostalgically of the first encounter with Captain Dunn, Angel nodded and replied:
"Yes."
She answered easily and naturally, as if talking to an old friend.
Of course, the man opposite her is really an "old friend."
"What happened in Mr. Hampres's villa?"
The captain of the "Red Gloves" team, "Soul Assurer" Soest, folded his hands on his raised legs and continued to ask.
