Rather than caring about me hiding my true appearance, are you more concerned about the source of the Inner Demon medicine formula?
Angel was startled at first, but quickly realized that this was due to the internal control of the Demoness Sect, and to prevent the formula from leaking out and producing too many "Wild Witch" that would endanger the security of the sect.
According to "Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics", Beyonder, which is the same as Pathway, is actually in an implicit competitive relationship. Rather than searching hard or purchasing Potion materials at a high price, Beyonder 0 of the next Sequence can be directly may be a more convenient choice as a target, but once there are too many wild and uncontrolled Beyonder, the Pathway and High Sequence Beyonder will always worry that they will become their hunting targets.
The most typical example Angel has seen is Enmat Harbor's "Machinery Hivemind" Artisan Kavi and the rebel Beyonder Tomaz escaped, and the latter directly targeted Kavi, who was one Sequence taller than him, and almost succeeded.
Because of this, even a secretive organization with loose discipline has very strict control over Potion formulas above Mid Sequence.
Sevillea gave the ingredients for Potion easily, but he still refused to let go of the complete formula. It must be for this reason.
Angel had already previewed these questions and the reasons behind them. She had a tangled and hesitant expression on her face, and she answered after a moment:
"The material of Potion comes from Sevillea, which is her reward for the task I completed recently, and the formula..." She paused, looking at Lady Despair's face with a slight smile, "It comes from a private transaction."
"Tell me about that transaction and who was the trader?"
"Lady Despair" Panacea's beautiful eyes looked at Angel and asked slowly.
"I am..."
Angel was about to tell the answer she had prepared when she suddenly realized that Panacea's eyes were like two small mirrors, reflecting the false face transformed by her "Faceless". At the same time, the holy emblem on her right wrist and the "Angel Blessing" on the outer layer of Spirit Body both had a cold touch.
She was doing divination, directly using her eyes as a mirror to predict the authenticity of my answer without any disguise!
This is an unprecedented phenomenon. Even when faced with the investigation of Nighthawks, "Anti-Divination" has never been so intense.
Fortunately, I am double prepared...
Angel's brain was running rapidly, but his words continued without any pause:
"... I met her when I was selling the 'Witch' formula at an Extraordinary gathering in Queens. She was a young, mysterious woman. She followed me outside the venue and asked me if I needed the 'Happiness' potion formula. She only sold it for 2,500 pounds. At that time, I had already obtained the potion ingredients and was eager to be promoted, so I agreed to the deal."
This is half true and half false, the formula does come from a "trade", Empress Borough also has Beyonder gatherings, but the others are Lies.
With Anti-Divination's measures, Angel is not afraid of the other party seeing the problem.
"2,500 pounds! No wonder you are so poor. You have to buy all your clothes from me... Sorry, Lady Despair."
Sevillea closed his mouth in the eyes of Panacea.
"Is the organizer of the rally named Mr. A?"
The latter continued to ask for details of the transaction.
"Yes, but his rally was recently crashed by the authorities, otherwise I should still have a chance to meet the lady."
"What's that person's height and appearance?"
"She was a little shorter than me. She was wearing a mask and a hood. I could only see black hair, but that could be a disguise."
Panacea stopped asking questions, and his eyes continued to stay on Angel with scrutiny. After a while, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the cold touch had disappeared.
"Good, you didn't lie in front of me."
The lady nodded with satisfaction, her smile became even wider, and she turned her gaze to Sevillea, seemingly no longer caring about this new member who had passed the test.
But the next moment, she looked at Angel again and asked:
"What do you think of Trissy Cheek?"
Why are you carrying out a surprise attack... Fortunately, I have been cautious and kept my nerves tight...
Angel cursed, not daring to hesitate, and immediately replied:
"In Tingen, the male Tris and I were both 'assassins' under Madam Sharon. And in Backlund, I saw Trissy twice, both at dances. She seemed mentally a little abnormal... Wait, why do you call her Cheek?"
After saying a few words, Angel realized that "Lady Despair" called Trissy a little different from usual.
What Sherlock said suddenly appeared in her mind:
"This reminds me of an ancient book I saw recently. It mentioned 'Primordial Demoness', which is the existence that Demoness Sect believes in. His name is 'Cheek', which is a male name!"
Men are not the point, the point is that Trissy is called "Trissy Cheek"...
Her strange, shuddering Sapphire Ring...
She appears from time to time as if she is possessed by someone...
As if being controlled by someone, she often does things she doesn't even know she does...
"Primordial Demoness"Cheek...
Angel's mind exploded with thoughts, and she tried hard to capture the clues.
Could it be that Demoness Sect conducted human trafficking and established an underground stronghold in the suburbs to imitate the behavior of "Aurora Order" and summon the "Primordial Demoness" they believed in to come, and Trissy was unlucky enough to be chosen as the vessel for God's descent? But in this case, how could Prince Edessak dare to put such a person beside him and fall in love with her? Isn't this putting himself next to explosives that can explode at any time? Unless he doesn't know Demoness Sect's plan at all and is just a "chess piece" being pushed out...
Suppressing her thoughts of drifting further and further away, Angel looked at Panacea again. The latter did not notice her random thoughts, but chuckled and replied:
"Cheek, that will be her new name. Of course, she is still a little resistant now, but it won't last long.
"As for you, you have completed your mission very well at Backlund during this period. After the New Year, the sect's long-planned operations will officially begin, and by then, you will receive the rewards you deserve."
"Thank you, Lady Despair."
Sevillea replied with some excitement.
Reward? I feel like I haven't done anything, so why am I getting rewarded again?
Angel was a little confused, but he still followed Sevillea's example and bowed down.
Then, Sevillea took her out of the windowless Stone Chamber and returned to the underground passage outside, ending the brief meeting.
"You go back along the same route, go to the town where you just came, and take the carriage we came from to go back to my house first. I may not be able to go back until evening, and we will 'talk in detail' then."
Sevillea said it with gritted teeth at the end, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Angel going behind her back to become "Demoness of Pleasure".
Angel didn't take it seriously. After passing the "Lady Despair" level, Sevillea couldn't do anything to her.
Moreover, she always felt that Lady Despair was hiding something from her. At least the so-called "action" was extremely vague, and the name "Primordial Demoness" Cheek was also mentioned, which made Angel feel vaguely uneasy.
She decided that when she returned to Backlund, she would report this station and all these Demonesss!
Sevillea returned to Stone Chamber, carefully closed the door, and then looked at the woman in white robe deep in the room.
"Lady Despair, she has left."
"Very good, she didn't find anything unusual, right?"
"Abnormal?"
Sevillea was a little puzzled. She subconsciously looked back at the closed door and asked.
"I'm so disappointed in you, Sevillea."
Panacea took two steps closer and whispered softly. Part of the fair skin was inadvertently exposed between the skirt of the white robe that was slit to the upper thighs, causing Sevillea's eyes to rest on it involuntarily.
"Have you never discovered that this 'Witch of Tingen' is not actually one of ours?"
