Black cat?
This was a cat that accidentally broke into the ceremony site - Angel's first reaction was this, but then she remembered that there were Wall of Spirituality barriers around the room, and she would not allow ordinary creatures to intrude.
Then it is the result of this summons...
Angel squatted down, looked at the black cat looking at her, and asked with Ancient Hermes:
"Are you the messenger summoned by me?"
As soon as she finished asking, she remembered that the other party was not yet a "messenger", and was about to change her words when the huge black cat in front of her wagged its tail, opened its mouth, and spit out the sentence Ancient Feysac:
"Yes, are you the human being who wants to sign a contract with me?"
Huh?
Can it talk?
When the giant greeted her just now, Angel was not surprised at all, because the humanoid Spirit Body must have been a human during his lifetime, and it was normal for him to be able to speak, but this black cat in front of him...
She immediately thought of the extraordinary dog owned by Tarot Club's "Justice" Miss Audrey. After the latter accidentally swallowed "Spectator" Potion, it was said that he gained a lot of Wisdom, as well as the ability to communicate with people.
Did this black cat have a similar experience "in life"?
As her thoughts flowed, she nodded slightly and answered with difficulty in Ancient Feysac, which she was not very familiar with:
"Yes, I summoned you through a ritual. Are you up to the task of delivering letters or delivering messages quickly?"
The black cat tilted his head, blinked his blue eyes, and replied using Loenese:
"As long as it's not too heavy, I can bring it in Spirit World. I can also communicate directly with others. I know several common languages."
As he spoke, it jumped up from the ground, jumped onto the table at the back that was used as a temporary altar, then kicked up its feet, climbed up to the chandelier on the ceiling, and finally landed on the carpet in an elegant posture without making a sound.
He moves quickly, can communicate with others, and even knows multiple languages. I am not very good at Ancient Feysac... Angel has a feeling of frustration that he was defeated by Spirit World black cat.
But she quickly adjusted her mood and continued to ask Loenese:
"Then are you willing to sign a contract and become my messenger?"
This is the step of "obtaining the consent of the other party" that Mr. Azik once said... She looked at the black cat's beautiful eyes with some anxiety, but the latter nodded without any hesitation:
"Yes, I do."
"My last contractor has disappeared for a long time, and it's time to get a new one."
It seemed that it had agreed a little too readily, it added.
It's really a strange temperament, but it's very interesting. It's much better than the previous Thumb Bird and Slowing Giant...
Angel suppressed the joy in his heart and took the parchment that had been prepared. Ancient Hermes Script, which had the power of nature, wrote the contents of the messenger contract on it. These include clauses such as that the parties to the contract cannot do anything harmful to the other party, that the messenger cannot peek at the letter, that the letter cannot be discarded, and that undelivered letters must be returned to the sender.
Finally, God Honorific Name guarantees the validity of the contract. Generally speaking, Death needs to be used, but this God has already died in Fourth Epoch, so Angel writes a description of Underworld itself in this paragraph.
"The destination of all death, deep in the hell of Spirit World, the witness of the mortality of all things, belongs exclusively to the kingdom of Death."
Angel took the lead in signing his new name at the bottom of the contract, Angelica Zaki.
This does not count as using a false name to deceive the other party. When signing this kind of contract, one's own aura will enter it under the witness of Underworld and cannot be faked. However, if a third party summons this black cat messenger, he needs to use the name on the contract. Angel does not want to reveal his real name.
The black cat used his front paws to scratch the pen a few times with great experience, and signed his name with his sharp nails.
Wensa.
After the names of both parties were placed, a gloomy green flame emerged from these Ancient Hermes Script, quickly covering the entire parchment and burning it to ashes.
The contract was reached.
Angel felt that her Spirit Body had established a faint connection with the black cat in front of her. This was proof that the terms of the contract had taken effect. As soon as her mind moved, Black Cat Wensa's huge figure quickly faded away and disappeared into the candlelight on the altar behind.
After signing the contract, all it takes is the thought of Angel to lift the summons, and the summons...
"The spirit wandering in the illusion, the friendly creature that can be driven, is the unique messenger of Angelica Zaki."
As she summoned again, the black cat appeared from the void and landed deftly on the carpet, with a "sure enough" expression on its face.
It seems that it has quite a lot of experience in this... No, how can I see the expression on the cat's face? I'm not a cat... Angel cursed, smiled apologetically at Wensa, and lifted the summons.
Then, she breathed a complete sigh of relief, extinguished the ceremonial candles, removed the surrounding Wall of Spirituality, and let the refreshing sea breeze enter the living room through the balcony, blowing away the somewhat serious atmosphere.
"Congratulations. Although there were a few twists and turns, you finally got your messenger."
Mr. Azik on the side came forward and said with a smile.
"Is that Beyonder Creature? Well, I mean, did it take Potion before it died, or does it have the inheritance of Beyonder Characteristic?"
Klein also asked with curiosity.
"Perhaps so. Spirit World has many powerful and mysterious creatures that no one can explore clearly. Fortunately, it has no ill intentions towards Angel, and it sounds like it has served as a messenger for other contractors before, perhaps to kill its boring life."
Azik said, the smile on his lips became even wider.
"Moreover, I saw some traces of battle on its body. Maybe this Ms. Wensa defeated many competitors before getting the opportunity to sign the contract..."
Is this business so competitive... and, ma'am? Is that a female cat?
Angel blinked, becoming more curious about his new messenger.
She looked at Klein with some expectation and said:
"It's your turn next, let's see what kind of messenger you can find."
From the moment the thumb bird appeared, this guy has been snickering next to Mr. Azik, and he hasn't stopped. Now it's his turn to make a fool of himself... Angel thought bitterly.
"Copper Whistle can be used to communicate with Mr. Azik, and Ms. Wensa can be used to communicate with you. I don't think a new messenger is needed yet."
As if he had guessed Angel's thoughts, Klein shook his head, took two steps back, and decisively rejected her proposal.
Could it be that he wanted to try it secretly alone in the middle of the night...
Angel curled his lips and gave up for the time being.
Seeing that it was inappropriate for him to stay here any longer, Azik put his hat on his head, glanced at the calm sea outside the window, and said softly:
"If Klein doesn't summon the messenger for the time being, I will leave first." He took a few steps away from the two of them, the carpet under his feet turned bright red, and his body gradually disappeared into Spirit World. "Next, I am going to search for my memories around the Rhoside Islands. If you have anything, you can contact me through the messenger. Haha, your black cat saw me just now. You can send the letter to me directly within a not too far distance without you providing an additional address."
As soon as he finished speaking, his not-so-tall figure disappeared.
Mr. Azik was sent away twice, and the two of them returned to business.
In the battle this morning, the two cooperated to eliminate all "Steel" Maviti's group who captured Danitz, and used Shadow Cloak to transfer the two most valuable pirates among them. Klein Grazing acquired the Beyonder Characteristic and soul of Maviti, and obtained the three abilities of this "Zombie".
When "Creeping Hunger" is switched to "Zombie", he can gain violent power to make up for his lack of melee ability; he can master the power of Frost, although not as good as Angel, but can freeze the nearby ground, affect the enemy's actions, or even freeze them directly; finally, he can also control the Zombie puppet, which can be used as the vanguard of certain dangerous actions, or to "encircle" targets.
Unfortunately, from the use of "steel" Maviti, it can be seen that the effect of these Zombie is not very good...
Thinking of the Zombies who were attracted by Mr. Azik's Copper Whistle and were swept away by Holy Light, Angel was very unfavorable to this Beyonder Ability.
Secondly, after assigning "Flying Carpet" to Danitz, they also left a Beyonder Characteristic belonging to "Blood-Colored Thorns" Huntley. According to divination, this is the characteristic of "Warlock", which belongs to "Mystery Pryer", that is, Sequence 7 to which Old Neil belongs to Pathway.
This Sequence and Beyonder Characteristic can generally be sold for more than 1,500 pounds. If you spend some effort to make it into Mystical Item, the price will be higher.
The bounty for the two pirates totals 9,800 pounds. According to "Hanged Man" Alger, after finding someone to collect the bounty on their behalf, they can receive about 90% of it, and the two pirates have about 7,000 pounds.
It was just one night of planning and action. Calculating the cash alone, the profit was more than 8,500 pounds. This did not include the improvement in combat effectiveness that Grazing's "steel" brought to Klein. These "named" pirates are really a treasure trove waiting to be withdrawn...
Angel looked at Klein and found the same surprise in his eyes.
After calculating the profits, the two discussed the next plan.
Klein is preparing to release the soul of "Nightmare" who was Grazing in "Creeping Hunger" and let him return to the country of Goddess. Of course, it is not yet confirmed that the other party is a believer of Goddess, but the high probability is...
Thinking of Nighthawks Dunn Smith who was also "Nightmare", Angel felt a little sad.
She was also gratified that Klein "keeps its promise". After obtaining the Mystical Item from Mr. Azik, he immediately released the "Faceless" that had the same ability as his own, leaving the Grazing vacant. At this time, after filling in "Steel", it was just full, and there was no need to release other souls.
But the two had already discussed that they would gradually replace the souls of those who died unjustly with evil pirates, and when they found a new one, they would release the old one.
Follow the inner rules so as not to lose yourself and lose control in the step-by-step promotion... She concluded in her heart, and also had certain ideas about her own "Affliction" Potion digestion.
After arriving at sea, Angel felt a trace of the potion digestion from several battles and the prank she played on Daniz. Coupled with the "premature acting" after being forcibly promoted in the Great Smog of Backlund, she has already summed up the first "painful" acting rule:
The stronger the degree of Affliction that makes others feel physically and mentally, the more direct the feedback, the better the effect.
This means that during the performance, she will inevitably kill, and she will also kill in a way that makes the opponent extremely Affliction...
But I swear, my butcher knife will only be aimed at those pirates and Beyonder whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people...
She silently made a promise in her heart.
