"Unaging"Demoness Katerina Pelle, on their side?

The first thing that Angel thought of was that Lola had returned to Katarina's faction and became a member of "Demoness Sect" again. Then she issued a "we" declaration, but then she thought that the possibility of this was extremely slim, otherwise she should not take the initiative to say it, but it would be an unexpected fatal blow.

The only possibility is that Lola and Wensa belong to the "Witch Family" faction and are trying to win her over.

I lied to Sherman and said that Lola was "another faction with a different stance." I guess I was right... Angel secretly laughed, but put on a serious expression on his face and asked:

"Didn't you say that you didn't even dare to use Magic Mirror Divination because you were being chased by Katarina? If she was not a radical member of 'Demoness Sect', why would she kick you out of the house?"

These are all doubtful points that Lola had when creating a "personality" before.

Some of the hidden truths, such as that she is actually Katarina's daughter and Tracy's sister, have been clarified in a previous reply, but the relationship with Katarina himself is still full of doubts.

"I didn't lie to you before. My mother gave birth to more than twenty offspring in total, half of which were female. She followed Demoness Sect's practice of only raising male offspring, but she violated the rules of killing or abandoning female offspring and gave us to my mother to raise... Well, you should know their original identities..."

Lola paused for a moment when he said this. Seeing Angel nodding, he continued to answer:

"After I left them due to some differences in ideas, I came to Backlund, preparing to investigate Demoness Sect's behind-the-scenes actions on my own. To this end, I made a lot of Anti-Divinations and disguises, but when she came back to me three months ago, I realized that blood is the most difficult 'curse' to get rid of.

"She didn't tell me much, but we reached a preliminary compromise instead of continuing to confront... In short, I will continue to investigate all this according to the original plan."

Your "in a word" makes me a little confused... Angel was stunned for a moment, feeling that Lola's words were a bit inconsistent, but she guessed that Lola either didn't feel reassured about herself, or was unable to tell the truth due to some restrictions, so she could only express Katarina's position in a vague way.

The time when Katarina came to Lola three months ago also reminded her of something that happened at that time:

She exposed her identity on "Black Death" and almost died at the hands of "Unaging" Demoness, but was rescued because of the timely arrival of Mr. Azik It opened, but in the end due to some conflicts and accidents, a "Calamity" Charm was left behind, which blew up the entire "Vice Admiral of Ailment" Tracy flagship.

At that time, Katarina was very interested in my "Calamity" Charm, and even made a sudden move to try to snatch it away... After that, her attitude changed, or did she no longer need to hide her true "identity"? That's why you tried to help me get the materials for promotion and asked Wensa to take the initiative to reveal some secrets to me?

Angel looked at herself and found that apart from the "resurrection" that Katarina could not know, she only had the power of "Calamity" Charm that could make High Sequence Beyonder is interested, "Orange Light" Hilarion also said that she has a trait that may attract the attention of some people, and even some high-ranking beings are willing to "invest" in herself.

Katarina, or someone behind her, is also interested?

Thinking of this, Angel no longer asked, but nodded to indicate understanding.

She could not confirm Katarina's true intention and could only maintain the status quo. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to have the intention of arresting her as a senior executive of "Demoness Sect", otherwise there would be more than just Luo Fell short waiting here.

"So, the next topic," she cleared her throat and put a smile on her face again, trying her best to be friendly, "I plan to live in Backlund for a while and rent a better house. What do you recommend?"

"Resident, not just passing through? Want a nice house?"

Lola's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly as she asked, and then her brows relaxed, as if she had thought of something.

"I see, you have finally decided to follow the old path of Demonesss," she said with a smile and a teasing tone, "Do you need me to recommend some single nobles? How about Viscount Glaint, I remember he was very close to you, it was easy for you to approach him with a different face; or Viscount Conrad's youngest son, he has just grown up and is ignorant, but his family background is very good, suitable for you to practice."

I'm not, I didn't... Angel was about to refute, but found that being misunderstood by her was okay, it was better than telling Antigonus Family Notebook that she was going to find an opportunity Stealing Saint Samuel Cathedral.

"That's no need, just help me find a place to live."

She replied coldly.

"Oh, it seems that you already have a goal, so I won't get involved... As for residence, West Borough has several nice mansions for sale. It can also be rented out on an annual basis. The cost is not expensive, about 2000-3000 pounds per year. It comes with all the servants and housekeepers, and even the horses in the stables are ready."

How much?

If Angel was drinking tea, she must have sprayed the tea on the face of Lola opposite her. She tried her best to keep her expression from changing too much, and asked softly:

"Are there any other places?"

"You want to live directly in Empress Borough? It is a place where nobles gather, and you have more chances to meet your favorite target, but there are also more supporting documents required for renting or buying. Of course, I can help you with this. Just prepare the rent."

Cautiously, Angel asked Empress Borough about the rental costs of those luxury houses, and got a number that made her heartbeat almost stop.

Seeing the constant changes in her expression, Lola seemed to finally realize that the Demigod Demoness in front of him did not look down on a house worth several thousand pounds a year, but on the contrary, felt that these prices were too high.

"In this case, you might as well just buy a house and resell it or rent it out when you no longer need to live in it. As the property restrictions for elections are relaxed, the title you buy can also obtain Upper House seats. Empress Borough and West Borough houses will be more in demand. Because more factory owners and bankers will live in these real "rich areas"... Sevillea Landon The mansion left behind after running away is not bad. It costs 2,400 pounds a year to rent, but it only costs 15,000 pounds to buy. I predict that the value will increase by 10% every year. If I were not worried about being too eye-catching, I would buy it."

15,000 pounds? Isn't that one of the properties that Sevillea is said to have "left to his niece"... Angel captured important information and almost had the urge to announce on the street that she was Irene Watson, Baroness Landon's niece, and that she came to Backlund just to inherit the family property. Fortunately, she finally stopped her with her rationality.

"Let's do this. You recommend a housekeeper who knows this information to me, and I will talk to him about the rest... To be honest, I can only accept houses with an annual rent of less than 500 pounds, North Borough or Hillston Borough."

She told the truth with some embarrassment.

This made Lola a little surprised, and he once suspected that the "desperate" Demoness in front of him was pretended by some poor guy Faceless.

"Didn't you cause a bloody storm at sea? Half of the 100,000 pound bounty is due to your own worth, right?"

She guessed with a searching smile on her face.

Actually, not really. My bounty was all obtained by blowing up the ship. I only got a lot of benefits when I killed Demigod of "Rose School", but none of them were realized... The corner of Angel's mouth twitched, and he almost couldn't help but teach Lola a profound lesson.

Fortunately, Lola's Spirituality warning stopped her from continuing to laugh at Angel, and he agreed to introduce her to an unemployed housekeeper.

After negotiating the follow-up contact information, Angel stood up and came to the door of the secret room. She did not push Door Opening to leave, but directly condensed a layer of ice on the door. The crystal ice surface reflected everything in the room, and the figure of Angel quickly faded and disappeared.

"Mirror Traversal..."

Looking at this scene where he was obviously showing off his skills, Lola's face changed slightly, and he finally had a certain understanding of the fact that this "ally" had been promoted to two consecutive Sequences in half a year.

Walking along the dark and complicated passage of "Mirror World", Angel can feel a faint power covering his body, which comes from the Angel sent by Mr. "Fool" With the power of, He surrounded Angel with his wings, providing certain protection to her Spirituality and Astral Body, preventing her from directly crashing into some strange realm.

In Backlund, this is not necessarily the dangerous Astral World or the underground area, it could also be the interior of the church in Three Great Churches, or even a certain mirror in Chanis Gate.

Unlike when he first received Angel's blessing and could only feel peace of mind, Angel, who had a hint of divinity, could now feel the power contained in Angel's blessing.

That was what she could see every week, the Gray Fog that enveloped the Tarot Club venue, and the majestic aura every time Mr. Fool was asked to perform the "sacrifice" and "gift" rituals.

This was one of the blessings she received from praying to Mr. Fool before coming to see Lola. She guessed that this great existence would also pay attention to her every move and help her at critical moments.

This is the key to her daring to come to see Lola alone and her daring to enter "Mirror World" at will.

Of course, as her understanding of "Backlund's Mirror World" deepens, she may soon no longer need the protection of Angel of Fool, and can shuttle between various mirrors at will. In this way, all her abilities as "Despair" Demoness can be fully utilized.

"No wonder witches like to choose one place to live permanently and rarely travel around. Understanding the environment is also part of their abilities..."

She understood this Pathway a little deeper.

Following the familiar road, Angel emerged from a mirror that was about the same size as a full-length mirror and successfully returned to the hotel where he lived in Hillston Borough.

It is far away from the main church of Three Great Churches, so it is not easy to "stumble" into strange places.

After calling room service and eating a belated lunch, Angel sat in the bedroom, quietly waiting for the arrival of three o'clock in the afternoon, until a deep red light enveloped her.

Her first Tarot Club started after she was promoted to Demigod.
