"Huh?"
The faint sound coming from next door made Angel frown. She didn't know why Lola changed the meeting place from the secret Bridge District uninhabited house to Cherwood Borough's lively hotel.
There are many tourists here and the sound insulation is poor. I don't know what the residents next door are talking about. From time to time, someone shouts in surprise, interrupting their conversation several times.
"The Bridge District house originally belonged to a Balam gang called 'Black Skull Gang'. Although they are not as brutal and murderous as Zimang Party, they are also ruthless in Balam style. They used various methods to rob a lot of real estate. Ha, I got one from them."
Noticing Angel's dissatisfaction, Lola, who was sitting opposite her, explained.
This time she still went to the appointment alone, obviously trusting Angel. However, the latter changed the meeting place and became a little wary. She was ready to get into Mirror World at any time and fight or escape, depending on the situation.
"Black Skull Gang... is the gang that was suddenly banned by the Backlund police half a month ago?"
Angel heard this name, recalled the news he saw in the newspaper, and asked.
"Yes, the situation was very strange at that time. When the top executives of 'Black Skull Gang' gathered, the explosives stored in the warehouse were ignited by a member who was smoking. The explosion killed almost all the people present. The police also wiped out the remaining members and recovered the house."
Lola replied with a chuckle.
What an unfortunate story... But why do I feel that it is similar to the "accidents" that often happen to his opponents when "Admiral of Blood" Senior does evil at sea? It couldn't be that Wraith possessed him... A suspect instantly appeared in Angel's mind, but he quickly stopped thinking about these details and listened to the movement next door. After it calmed down, he took out the black mirror fragment obtained from Pierce from "Mirror World" and placed it on the table.
"Did you kill the one you found Mirror Person?"
As soon as she saw the mirror fragments, Lola reacted immediately. As if she was a little scared, she reached out and touched the completely non-reflective black mirror with her fingertips, then retracted as if she was electrocuted, and asked.
"Yes, I designed him to leave the church and die in the alley of East Borough. The body disappeared immediately, leaving only this fragment."
Angel did not explain too much, worried that the other party would learn about Klein's situation from that battle.
Fortunately, Lola didn't ask any further questions. Her blue eyes were fixed on the fragments of the black mirror. She remained silent for a long time before continuing:
"You keep this fragment. If necessary, you can use it to detect other Mirror Person. But I don't know the detection method. Maybe there will be a reaction when you get close, or special techniques may be used. In addition, did that Mirror Person say anything before he died?"
The fragments can detect other Mirror Person, which is consistent with what Arrodes said... Angel thought about it, nodded and said:
"He mentioned 'Trier', the capital of Intis. Is there anything special there?"
"Oh, it's not just special. It's simply the base camp of 'Mirror Person'. Even Demoness Sect located in Trier has been infiltrated." Lola replied with a sneer, "But The strange thing is that they are not even as interested in the Loen Kingdom and other small countries as Lenburg, but the Mirror Person you killed sneaked into Church of the Evernight Goddess, which is completely contrary to their past behavior."
"Headquarters?"
Angel was stunned. She originally thought that "Mirror Person" was just some kind of special phenomenon similar to evil spirits, and it would be unusual to encounter one or two cases. Unexpectedly, after hearing Lola's statement, in Trier, they seemed to be "overrun".
It seemed that in order to find out the secret of "Mirror Person", I might not be able to avoid this metropolis.
Lola seemed unwilling to continue talking about this topic. She took out a folded piece of paper and handed it to Angel, then abruptly changed the topic:
"This is the information about the military officer Demigod you asked me to investigate last time. Based on the physical characteristics you provided, Vincent identified him through comparative investigation. Of course, we cannot be completely sure that it is this person. You'd better find an opportunity to meet him with your own eyes."
Taking the paper and opening it, Angel's eyes first briefly paused on the portrait below, then scanned a few sparse lines of words and locked on the name column.
"Qonas Kilgor."
Below is his job title and possible Sequence:
"MI9 deputy director, rank of major general, 'Lawyer' Pathway Sequence 5, Mentor of Disorder, suspected to have Sealed Artifact with Demigod level."
Demigod Sealed Artifact...Angel thought of the short battle on the beach that day, and thought of the iron pocket watch and strange-looking six-barreled pistol used by the opponent.
However, apart from these two items, the opponent must also be a High Sequence Beyonder, otherwise his overwhelming combat power cannot be explained.
It seems that Sequence 5 is just a declared strength. He should represent the interests of a certain faction of the royal family in the military, and does not want to be too conspicuous... Thinking like this, Angel looked at the portrait on the paper and the color notes next to it again, and remembered the appearance of this man with short black hair, dark blue eyes, a tall nose, and a thick beard.
With the name and appearance, Angel can identify Demigod, who serves the royal family and is involved in human trafficking and Great Smog conspiracy, as long as he can see it with his own eyes once and confirm his body shape.
"Thank you. I didn't expect you to figure out his identity so quickly."
After collecting the information, Angel expressed his sincere gratitude.
"This is also to investigate the truth as soon as possible. After exploring in the fog for half a year, we finally made substantial progress."
Lola replied calmly.
"Where is your mother? Wasn't she involved in these things? You didn't get any information?"
"After she came to Backlund and met me once, I no longer know her whereabouts. She may still be somewhere in this city, or she may have left secretly... With this level of cooperation, she will definitely abide by certain contracts and cannot tell any relevant clues. We can only find it ourselves."
The contract is similar to the one I had with Anne... I heard that the Augustuss of the Loen Royal Family have mastered the Pathway of "Arbiter". It is also very suitable to have this kind of restriction ability. Reason, when East Borough killed that Harras and performed Spirit Channeling, the other party also showed some restrictions... Angel thought about it and asked casually:
"Then what's her purpose of staying at Backlund? To continue to participate in the human trafficking? To rebuild the branch of 'Demoness Sect'?"
"I only know that the cooperation between the conspirators behind the Demoness Sect and Great Smog is almost over, but the most important reward has not yet been paid. It is an item that Demoness Sect has worked hard for many years to obtain. Maybe she is just waiting for the transaction to be completed."
Lola also frowned and considered his words while answering, looking very unconfident.
Let a Sequence 3's "Unaging" Demoness stay in the dangerous Backlund waiting for the transaction to be completed. The transaction itself even restricts her from communicating with her daughter through a contract. So what level is involved in this transaction? Is it Angel, or... True God?
Thinking of this, Angel felt a little trembling in his heart, as if he had touched a corner of the truth behind the conspiracy, but he couldn't go any further because he had no clues.
At this moment, through the extremely poor sound insulation wall panels, another exclamation came from the next door.
"Angelica Zaki, Gehrman Sparrow?"
In front of Fors, her teacher Dorian clasped her hands and tensed her body, repeating what she just said.
"Yes, teacher, I spent some money. The total value is about ten thousand pounds. They accepted the commission and solved Louis Wien in just a few days."
Looking at the head on the table that was casually wrapped in newspapers, with skin full of cracks, a ferocious and desperate expression, and a broken neck, Dorian pursed his lips, suddenly not knowing what to say.
He has lived in Pritz Harbor for a long time, and naturally knows more about the news at sea than in inland cities. Whether it is newspapers brought by merchant ships or rumors among Sailor people bragging to each other, these two names are mentioned repeatedly.
The Ghost Ship commander who made a big fuss about Bayam and sank several Pirate Admiral ships, Angelica Zaki who was privately called "Fifth King"; the Mad Adventurer Gehrman Sparrow who killed "Admiral of Blood" and had a close personal relationship with the female Pirate Admiral.
According to Dorian Subordinate Deity's occult point of view, the former is probably already High Sequence Beyonder, and the latter is at least a Sequence 5, or the strongest Sequence 5 who is close to Mystical Item and has rich combat experience.
The most important thing is that the combined bounty of the two of them is close to 150,000 pounds. Will they go to the capital of Loen to accept the commission to kill a Sequence 5 Beyonder?
"You mean, the two of them only want ten thousand pounds from you?"
Although judging from the strength, the combination of Angelica plus Gehrman is definitely enough to leave Louis Wien and kill it easily, even with the protection of Demigod, but this makes Dorian even more worried, because ten thousand pounds... is too cheap.
According to the general "market price", the task of killing Sequence 5 Beyonder, an evil sect like Aurora Order, is worth at least thirty thousand pounds, and requires a high deposit in advance, and even comes with many harsh conditions.
This is called the "membership price", and I didn't actually spend cash, I just provided clues and temporarily borrowed Leimano's Travel Notes... Fors felt a little proud in his heart, and was also happy that he could find a Demigod, a Sequence 5 and a powerful Beyonder to help him and avenge his teacher.
"Yes, maybe they have been short of money recently, so they also asked to take away all Mystical Item and Beyonder Characteristic that Louis Wien has... Moreover, Demigod is one of the ladies who proposed to contact the descendants of the Abraham Family."
She concealed her inner joy and answered.
Killing Louis Wien who defected from the Abraham Family, and looking for the descendants of Abraham... The corners of Dorian's eyes were beating, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse to meet such a terrifying Beyonder, but thinking that his student had probably agreed to the other party, and that he had accepted the other party's "gift", he hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I can promise her, but not now. Wait... I'll make some preparations. The place and method of the meeting will be decided by me. You tell her this first, and your attitude must be good."
My attitude towards Tarot Club can be considered humble... Fors chuckled secretly and agreed.
After giving instructions, Dorian took out the crystal ball made by Star Crystal that he planned to give to his students, Sequence 6 "Scribe" The Potion formula and some materials, and even two sets of Backlund's properties, were handed over to Fors as "compensation" for her reward of 10,000 pounds.
The value of these items was nearly ten thousand pounds. Fors, who had helped Miss Audrey hire Mr. A to kill an ambassador at this price, thought it was the "industry average price" and therefore quoted this price. He wanted to refuse Dorian's gift several times, but was defeated by the other party's insistence.
With strong guilt and a hint of joy at suddenly getting rich, Fors said goodbye to his teacher, left the hotel, pretended to be a tourist from Desi, called a hired carriage and left the street.
Behind her, on a reflective glass window, a pair of purple eyes were looking at her figure steadily.
