"So, you don't know about Trissy either?"
In the bedroom, Angel erected Wall of Spirituality, grabbed a cushion and sat next to the altar, chatting with Black Cat Wensa who was half-body out of the altar and lying in front of her.
"I spend most of my time in Spirit World, and I'm afraid I don't understand many things as well as you..." Wensa seemed to have completely integrated into the identity of the cat, with its tail wagging constantly, "But one thing is certain, they really intend to use this Demoness as the vessel for that person's arrival."
That one? Is it Cheek, "Primordial Demoness"?
Listening to Wensa's disrespectful words, Angel confirmed two things.
First of all, this Demoness cat must know "Demoness Sect" very well, and was a member of it even before becoming Spirit World Creature, and the "family" she refers to is undoubtedly The "other faction" mentioned by Trissy; secondly, this faction probably has extremely limited respect for their True God, "Primordial Demoness" Cheek, and is even carrying out some kind of conspiracy behind his back.
"Then, why did 'Demoness Sect' let Trissy roam around, and even began to investigate the truth about Great Smog on its own? Shouldn't such a precious container be immediately captured and taken back under strict supervision?" Angel continued to ask.
This was also the question that puzzled her the most, and she even thought that Trissy was hiding something.
Lanevus, who had offended the evil god "True Creator", even escaped Tingen City, but was captured by "Aurora Order" as soon as he entered Backlund, and was placed under strict guard, and was soon used as a container again, even almost In Docklands, Trissy, who was also a container and showed symptoms of being controlled and corroded, was not managed at all, and was even secretly promoted to Sequence 5, "Affliction" and Demoness.
Although I don't know how she survived Promotion Ritual without protection...
"Backlund Almost all members of the sect have been arrested or Execution. 'Black Witch' Clarice is temporarily unable to reach out here, so he has to ask 'White Saint' Katarina to handle related matters on his behalf. There is no time to arrest Trissy."
The black cat had no expression on his face and replied calmly.
It turns out that "Black Witch" is called Clarice, and the code name of Katarina is "White Saint". You Demoness Sect really know how to play. Do other senior executives also use colors as code names? For example, something like the red Saintess... and this is almost a clear indication that Katarina doesn't want to take care of this matter. Do they really go against the mainstream thinking of "Demoness Sect" and have their own plans?
But this may be for me. In fact, a dragnet has been laid, waiting for Trissy to arrive at the door... Angel still doesn't fully believe this black cat related to Katarina, but just nodded to indicate that he understands.
Seeing that she was silent, the black cat yawned, turned around and left.
Angel quickly stopped her. "If I need to hire you like last time to participate in a battle that may involve Demigod... will it still be the original price?"
The price of the headless messenger Reinette has gone up. The first time it was 3,000 gold coins, and the second time it was already 10,000 gold coins. This made Angel decide to ask Wensa's quotation before communicating with the other party. If the difference is too big, reduce the requirements and hire a black cat. It is not impossible...
"Aren't you already planning to hire four, brainy, women?"
The beard on Wensa's mouth kept trembling. He imitated Reinette's way of speaking and replied in a weird way. Then he shook his tail, made a look of rejection, got into Spirit World and disappeared.
I always feel like she is a little resentful...
Looking at the empty altar with only burning candles left, Angel was stunned.
Hahu——
Taking out a handkerchief and pretending to wipe his face, covering half of his face, Angel secretly yawned.
She is now following several neighbors who also live in Burningham Road. Under the leadership of a coal mine owner who has only moved into Backlund this year and is seeking upward passage like Angel, she walks around his newly purchased Suburban Manor, admiring the lush and immature grapevines.
Although this wine estate occupies a large area, the grapes have not yet matured at this season, and all you can see are green seedlings.
As Demigod, she certainly won't feel tired just because of this. Yawning is nothing more than a reminder to other travelers:
This is so boring!
Her silent complaint was quickly noticed by the deacon who was accompanying her. The latter quickly stepped forward, approached the middle-aged man with a stout figure and thin brown hair, and whispered a few words.
Then, the man turned around, smiled apologetically, and said:
"Everyone, let's go back to the living room and try the wine made from the grapes here. They will definitely satisfy everyone."
The originally dull atmosphere of the team instantly became lively. Everyone chatted and laughed with the owner of the manor, returning to the four-story building with a huge wine cellar. They sat down in the living room with an entire wall decorated with floor-to-ceiling windows, and waited until the servants brought the unopened dark wine bottles without labels.
"I bought this manor because of the grape vines here and the old wine in the cellar."
The Smokeless Coal mine owner named Winster proudly introduced the wine and asked the servants to sober up the wine with professional utensils and serve cups to each guest present.
Looking at the wine that glowed like blood under the light, Angel frowned slightly and felt a little confused.
Can the grapes from those vines outside really produce wine of this color?
Seeing other guests beside her toasting to taste the wine, she no longer hesitated, shook it, smelled it deeply, sipped it, and tasted it carefully, completing her appreciation of the glass of wine in a professional manner.
After all, Intis is the birthplace of the modern red wine appreciation and grading system, and I have to learn something... She muttered, surprised to find that the wine produced in the Winster manor tastes quite good, but...
Other guests were also full of praise. A certain Backlund University professor frowned, as if he wanted to point out some problem, but was persuaded by his friend's eyes and joined the queue of praises.
Everyone knows that this is Olmir Wine, which was purchased from outside. It has been aged for at least 20 years. You don't need to point it out... Angel chuckled secretly and decided to drink two more cups of aged wine bought by the mine boss for face today, so as to at least make back the mental loss of going out on Sunday.
At this moment, her inspiration suddenly touched her, and her purple eyes froze for a moment.
This is... someone is using Spirit World to quickly approach here?
Angel performed a quick divination and failed without a doubt.
Coming from Spirit World Shuttle, I couldn't confirm it by divination, but it didn't appear immediately... She put down the wine glass thoughtfully, called the servant, asked about the location of the bathroom, declined the other party's company, left the living room alone, walked around the maze-like corridor, and stopped in a secluded place.
The surrounding brown stone walls and the slightly exaggerated color of Red Carpet suddenly became rich, as if superimposed with the colors of oil paintings. Azik wearing a top hat appeared from the void and stood in front of Angel.
"You can indeed sense it, which is good. When facing Beyonder with the same Sequence, this kind of vigilance can give you at least 5 seconds to react."
He smiled and praised, making Angel a little stunned.
The other party apparently wandered around the manor for a while before allowing Angel to leave her private space and come here to wait. If Azik attempted to attack, I'm afraid she would have died in the hands of the other party as soon as she was alert.
Of course, the difference between Sequence 4 and Sequence 2 is two full Sequence, which is normal... She comforted herself and said softly:
"Long time no see, Mr. Azik, are you rushing back to the North Continent from the Berserk Sea this time?"
"In fact, I was originally planning to go to the Southern Continent, but this time Travel may take more than a month, so I will come back here first to help you solve a problem."
Azik turned his neck sideways and reached into the chest pocket of the swallowtail suit, revealing the mole under his ear.
After a moment, he handed a thick and short eight-sided crystal in his hand to Angel.
The crystal is black as a whole, embellished with stars, like stars in the night sky, and there is a trace of bright red in the middle, like blood or the moon. Taking the crystal, Angel immediately felt a warmth and quiet atmosphere enveloped herself and the surrounding space. This had already passed the preliminary seal, otherwise she guessed that the same feeling would envelope everyone in the manor and make them fall into a deep sleep.
"Is this the Beyonder Characteristic of 'Nightwatcher'?"
Angel asked tentatively, but he had already confirmed in his heart:
This is the High Sequence Beyonder Characteristic that Ince Zangwill wanted to obtain even at the cost of killing hundreds of people, attacking Tingen City Nighthawks Squad, and killing the captain!
"Although I have not fully recovered my strength, with the help of Spirit World, I can already destroy the contaminated holy emblem, so that the Beyonder Characteristic contained in it can be crushed and re-aggregated to become pure characteristics. As for the aura related to Death, I have dealt with it separately. With the help of it, maybe my trip to the Balam Empire will be smoother."
Azik replied with a chuckle, not feeling any hesitation or regret at all because he handed over valuable items worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Sure enough... Angel, while feeling emotional, also captured the key points in Azik's words.
"Balam Empire... are you going to the ruins of the Southern Continent to find the truth?"
she asked with some concern.
Of course, what Azik is talking about must not be the Balam that has now become a colony, but the ancient empire that originated from Fourth Epoch. Today, only ruins and documents remain.
"Yes, you don't have to worry too much. No matter what the truth is, I will have to face it sooner or later. Moreover, from other scattered memories, I have already seen what kind of person I was back then..."
Azik's eyes were a little strange, but his words were extremely firm.
The "Death Consul" he was back then... The expression on Angel's face almost froze, but soon, she smiled again, not to worry Azik who was about to leave.
"Then I wish you a smooth trip in advance, Mr. Azik," she said softly, raising her hands and giving a hug to the elder who helped her countless times. "No matter what the outcome is, please remember that Klein and I are waiting for you here."
"...Thank you."
Azik responded with the same courtesy, thanked him softly with a restrained expression, took two steps back, held down the top hat on his head, and blended into the rich colors that appeared again.
Holding "Nightwatcher" Beyonder Characteristic, Angel looked at the location where Azik had left for a long time. It was not until the maid of the manor came to look for him that he forced a smile and returned to the living room filled with false laughter and the aroma of expensive wine.
