Angel did not speak, deciding to listen to the other party's request first, and then decide whether to agree to help Lola depending on the situation, or even form an "ally" as she said.

Although he was prepared to deal with the Demoness Sect, he did not have to cooperate with these two unidentified guys.

"First of all, we want to know, has Demoness Sect already conducted in-depth cooperation with Aurora Order?"

The middle-aged man behind Lola who looked like "Hunter" Pathway asked in a low voice, his tone no longer provocative, but like a normal discussion or discussion, with a hint of expectation.

"Yes, and as far as I know, the cooperation between the two is not only in Backlund," Angel hesitated for a while, but decided to reveal some of the facts he knew, "Tingen City, Enmat Harbor, their cooperation has already begun. In the capital of Loen, Backlund, this connection will probably become even closer. I even suspect that they have a certain degree of collusion with some nobles and the royal family."

The information revealed in the last sentence obviously exceeded the two people's expectations. Lola and Vincent looked at each other, then looked at Angel. After a while, Lola said:

"Then do you know their recent plans? In addition to what I said before, they are infiltrating the aristocratic circles to probe for information."

"My supervisor hasn't revealed anything more yet. They just asked me to prepare to attend a ball held by the royal family in the near future. I don't know what the purpose is. But I guess that what Demoness Sect and Aurora Order are doing is related to human trafficking. The focus is on the whereabouts of the transported slaves. Are they used as living sacrifices in some large-scale sacrifices, or are they projects that urgently need a lot of manpower, such as digging ancient ruins or building secret bases?"

As he said that, Angel thought of the evil things "Aurora Order" did in Tingen City and Backlund, and added:

"Perhaps the main party of cooperation is Aurora Order, not Demoness Sect. They just tried to perform the coming ceremony of 'True Creator' at Docklands last month, and in September, the carrier of Evil God's Offspring was prepared in Tingen City, and almost successfully carried out the divine descent, triggering a huge Catastrophe, killing hundreds of innocent people."

She almost said the last sentence through gritted teeth.

Mr. C, Ms. D, and even Lanevus behind the scenes have all died in her hands, but the culprit, Archbishop Ince Zangwill, who defected from the church, is still at large, and there is no trace of it.

"However, if 'True Creator' is involved, then there is no sense in the cooperation between the nobles and the royal family." Hearing the name even more infamous than Primordial Demoness, Lola couldn't help but frowned, "Who would try to summon evil gods in their own city, near their home? Will Catastrophe, which has affected the entire city, bypass them because of their small contribution?"

"Hmph, that's not certain. The interests of those nobles and even some members of the royal family may not be consistent with the interests of the country and ordinary people. As long as they can gain profits from Catastrophe, no matter how many ordinary people die, new ones will grow like wheat."

Vincent snorted coldly and interjected.

The sharp comment left an eerie silence in the room.

"Ahem, I will investigate through the connections with the nobles, but I'm afraid the royal family won't have access to it," Lola broke the awkwardness between the three of them, "Miss Irene, you'd better pay more attention to their movements inside the Demoness Sect Xiang, there has been a lot of action within the sect recently, and the strong High Sequence is likely to return to Backlund at the end of the month. Their plan with Aurora Order may have reached a critical point, which is why I am eager to find you for details."

"You seem to know the inside of the Demoness Sect very well?"

Angel asked with some confusion.

"I have my other sources of information."

Lola responded calmly, stopped continuing the topic, and started teaching Angel how to make the kind of "Communication Potion" she provided.

Using Demoness's own blood and the summoned Invisible Spider Silk as materials, use Deep Sleep Flower, Graveyard Grass and other herbal powders representing the negative and death realms to mix and cook, and finally use Ritual Magic cuts off the connection with his own Spirit Body and establishes another indirect connection based on the potion. When two mirrors are coated with this potion at the same time, a solid communication channel will be formed between them through Spirit World, which can transmit images and sounds to each other.

This is equivalent to a "video phone" in mysticism. Although the production method is complicated, with the capabilities of Angel and Sequence 6, the potion produced is only limited to communication within roughly the same city. However, compared with wired telegraphs that can only transmit simple electrical signals, it is undoubtedly a qualitative leap.

"Communicating through Spirit World? But didn't you say before that due to the tracking of a certain powerful person, you no longer actively communicated with Spirit World in order to avoid being discovered?"

Hearing this, Angel interjected.

"This is the ingenuity of Communication Potion. They have broken off the occult connection with the blood provider and only serve as a tool to 'communicate with each other'."

Lola explained patiently like a teacher answering students' questions.

After understanding the production method, Angel accepted the bottle of Communication Potion made by Lola.

"You have to remember that there must be no mistakes in the production methods and steps, otherwise what you hand over will not be a potion, but a curse medium for the person who provided the blood. You yourself were once Witch, you should know what this means, right?"

Angel looked at Lola who looked serious, and chuckled, "What about you, is this bottle of medicine made of your own blood, or of other Beyonder's?"

In other words, it is the "Hunter" behind you - Angel who conveyed this meaning with his eyes.

As if to verify Angel's guess, the middle-aged man behind Lola moved uneasily.

After the production of Communication Potion is completed, the internal Spirituality will quickly escape and can only be kept for about half a month. Angel and Lola agreed to verify each other's information during this period of time and then talk about "alliance".

Angel is going to insinuate Sevillea and ask Demigod "Lady Despair" if he has any plans to return to Backlund in the near future. If the information Lola gets comes from Error, then there will be no way to discuss further cooperation.

Since this was Lola's safe house, Angel left before them. After quickly leaving the street facing the river and turning into a small alley, Angel breathed a sigh of relief. She first checked that no one was following her, then took out "Madness Ring" and put it on her finger, turning herself back into a round-faced woman with long black hair and some freckles.

Then, she caressed her cheek, gently pulled off a thin piece of human skin with an ever-changing appearance, and watched as it gradually shrunk in half in her hands, transforming back into the half-combined Beyonder Characteristic of "Faceless".

Today, she used the effect of this Beyonder Characteristic to change her appearance, blending the Demoness of Pleasure Mitis, Madam Sharon and she had seen The unique looks of Audrey formed a brand new face that was no less than theirs, and deceived Lola and the "Hunter" Pathway Beyonder.

It's a pity that before this characteristic was made into Mystical Item, it only had such a simple effect, and the negative effects were extremely obvious. As long as he wore it, Angel would have a constant desire for blood and flesh in his heart. Fortunately, he took off "Madness Ring" at that time, otherwise he might not be able to resist the desire to kill and eat human bodies.

"It fits my stereotype of 'Secrets Suppliant' Pathway..."

Smiling to himself, Angel stopped a hired carriage and left Docklands.
