After applying Communication Potion of Lola on the basement mirror, Angel quietly waited for the other party to "connect" the communication.
It's a bit like the dialing stage of a phone call... It's a pity that Communication Potion is constantly being consumed. Even if the call is not connected, the "call charges" will be wasted.
Putting aside her random thoughts, she thought of the 1,400 pounds she had received from Sherlock yesterday, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Counting the cash that Angel had before and the 800 pounds reward from Machinery Hivemind after solving "Desire Apostle", her savings once again exceeded the 3,000 pound mark. According to Loen's price level and the relatively stable investment rate of return, this is already a deposit that is enough for people to retire and enjoy life.
In addition, "Eye of Wisdom" Isengard Stanton promised at least 1,000 pounds of remuneration, and "Justice" Audrey owed 3,800 pounds...
The pleasure of suddenly becoming rich filled her heart, but unfortunately it did not improve the digestion level of "Pleasure". This also confirmed Lola's words that the digestion of Demoness of Pleasure really depends on that aspect of behavior...
Just when her thoughts ran away to other places like a wild horse, the half-length mirror in front of her turned dark, and then, the figure of Lola appeared inside.
The senior "Demoness of Pleasure" was wearing a complicated and exquisite palace dress, with a rare light makeup on her face. She was probably getting ready to go out. When she saw Angel on the other side of the mirror, she nodded without surprise and said:
"Is there any new news?"
"Yes."
There was no contact with each other for two weeks, during which many things that concerned Lola happened. Angel told Demoness, who had been trying to deal with the Demoness Sect, how the human trafficker Baelen, Capim's former guard Harras died in East Borough, the scene that was quickly burned down that night, and his suspicion of the cooperation between the royal family, the military and Demoness Sect.
Then there is the important evidence: Equestrian coach Talim probably died from the curse of Demoness, and his case was transferred by the royal family, and it is suspected that he was treated coldly.
Finally, she also described in detail Trissy's failure to escape again. Although Lola was also at the dance at the time, the frightening change of Trissy might not be visible from another angle.
After listening to Angel's narration, Lola fell into a brief thought, and then murmured.
"Prince Edessak... Sure enough, Demoness Sect placed Trissy next to him, actually as a hostage and liaison? And the equestrian coach Talim Dumont you mentioned who was cursed to death, as far as I know, is really close to this Prince Recently, he was the one who accompanied Trissy at the dance that night. He was also the one who let go of the horses outside, causing a commotion and creating an opportunity for Trissy to escape. If he interfered in the 'romance' between Prince and Trissy, there was a high possibility that he would be dealt with by using the curse.
"However, according to my investigation with Vincent, the Prince who is behind in the succession has been living in his Red Rose Manor in the suburbs during this period and only occasionally goes out for social activities. It does not seem like there is any secret conspiracy going on... but it does not rule out that he is using this behavior to paralyze other royal members and is actually planning some big action."
"The planning operation... couldn't it be related to "Lady Despair"?"
Angel suddenly thought that Demoness Sect Demigod would return to Backlund soon.
"It is possible that this Lady Despair Panacea is currently still in the capital of Intis, Trier, and will return to the Loen Kingdom soon. She attaches great importance to the sense of ritual and will choose the steam train to travel through half of the North Continent instead of the dangerous shuttle in Spirit World in the mirror. But after a week at most, she will return to Backlund and regain control of everything here. No matter what conspiracy Demoness Sect has, his true face will be revealed at that time."
"At that time, I will also have to face this Demigod."
Angel told Lola about Sevillea's "invitation" to meet Lady Despair, which made her already serious face even more worried.
"Panacea is not a murderous person. In fact, Demoness Sect's middle-level staff are sparse, and they will not kill their own members casually. But if you accidentally reveal your true thoughts, or let her find out that you have something to hide... I'm afraid that Sequence 6 like you can't even escape from her. The suppression of Low Sequence by High Sequence, who is the same as Pathway, is absolute. One Sequence is missing and he can try to resist. Two Sequence is missing..."
Listening to Lola's somewhat pessimistic view, Angel thought of his experience fighting other "Demoness". Although Madam Sharon was Sequence 6, he was obviously prepared in a hurry that night and did not even bring a protective wand, so he died easily between her and the two With the cooperation of Nighthawks; and Mitis, the gray-haired Demoness of Pleasure, showed much stronger combat power than the former. Angel, with the combat power of Sequence 7, could barely beat her even with two pieces of Mystical Item.
This still took advantage of a lot of Mystical Item and close combat experience. She didn't dare to expect Mystical Item from Sequence 4's Lady Despair to not have a single Mystical Item on her body. Besides, there must be other Demoness accompanying her. With more than a dozen, the gap was hopelessly big...
Fortunately, his current identity is still a member of the Demoness Sect. As long as he is prepared, under the protection of Hidden Holy Emblem and Mr. Fool, he does not necessarily have to fight them head-on.
Lola obviously thinks so too. She gave Angel detailed instructions on how to hide her thoughts and actions in front of High Sequence Beyonder, such as properly revealing some minor secrets and misleading the other party's thoughts through micro-expressions. It seems that she herself has had a similar experience.
"I will continue to follow up on Prince Edessak and their relationship with the military. Three Great Churches has not made any news yet. Either they have not received the news, or they are also waiting for an opportunity. And you, you must be careful when dealing with Lady Despair Panacea. If you can get it out of her mouth... forget it, protect yourself first."
She changed her words mid-sentence, making Angel smile slightly, understanding the concern hidden in this Demoness's words.
Near the end of the call, she remembered that she still had an important question, stopped Lola who was about to erase the screen, and asked:
"I have a little doubt about the performance of 'Pleasure'."
She vaguely told Lola about her acting experience these days, and asked why digestion progressed so quickly.
After last night, her Potion has almost digested three-quarters. If this is the normal performance speed, then every Sequence 6's Demoness of Pleasure, as long as they grit their teeth and don't have that pitiful self-esteem, can complete the digestion in half a month and be ready to be promoted to Sequence 5.
How could she see so many Demoness of Pleasure but not even one Demoness of Affliction?
"This speed is indeed strange..." After listening to her narration, Lola also frowned and expressed confusion. "According to experience, although this stage is not too difficult, even if Acting Method is clear and can quickly summarize the key points and rules of the performance, the time is calculated in half a year..."
She suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Angel with a smile in her blue eyes.
"Unless you have some strong emotions, your mood changes in some extreme way during the process of 'Pleasure', or... the person you are playing is very special.
"I have heard that for most behaviors that need to be carried out through the steps of 'acting-feedback-digesting', the higher the subject's Sequence, the stronger the feedback effect."
The higher the Sequence, the better the effect... But he is only Sequence 7, which is not even as tall as me... That is the former possibility. After I recognized his identity, I did have an extreme change in emotion. Is this the reason?
She was thinking silently, and suddenly found that the figure of Lola in the half-length mirror in front of her had disappeared at some point.
