Although this lady tied up her hair and wore "sunglasses" to disguise herself, through undisturbed observation of "Mirror World" and simple divination, it was still possible to determine that she was the "Magician" of Tarot Club, and also "Justice"Audrey's friend, Ms. Fors Wall, it seems that my previous speculation is correct. Audrey occasionally worries about her identity being exposed on Tarot Club because of her...
As early as when she was "Irene Watson", Angel returned to Tarot Club, and she quickly suspected the identity of "Magician". Her hair color, Potion Pathway, and her current location in Backlund all pointed to someone she knew.
But it wasn't until now, when she saw the woman "offline" in person, that she confirmed the other person's identity.
She came here in disguise, and her suitcase looked empty. Could it be that she had given something to someone in the room just now?
Angel thought about it and quickly determined that "Magician" was here to hand over the head of "Mr. X".
After completing the commission that night, Klein handed over the head to prove her identity to Fors through the channel of Mr. Fool. Unexpectedly, she handed over the head less than 48 hours later, which also verified her statement from the side - she was indeed issuing the commission for the Abraham Family, not out of personal grudges.
When Angel was talking to Lola just now, noises came from the next door from time to time, but there seemed to be a curtain blocking prying eyes, blocking her subconscious divination and listening.
In order to prevent the other party from discovering her by forcefully breaking through this barrier for divination, Angel, who had other important matters, did not pay too much attention to the other party. However, after saying goodbye to Lola, she still used the simplest method to satisfy her curiosity - entering "Mirror World" and squatting at the door of the room.
After successfully identifying Fors, Angel was sure that the person participating in the conversation next door was probably a descendant of the Abraham Family.
And it is normal for such an ancient family to carry some Anti-Divination and Mystical Item.
She looked at the guest room at the end of the corridor, thought for a moment, but still didn't take the initiative to visit.
Now that "Magician" has agreed to match her, there is no need for him to launch a surprise attack. This can easily damage his image in the eyes of the other party, and even turn peaceful exchanges into some degree of confrontation.
And it is not a wise choice to confront a Fourth Epoch family that has been active on the historical stage and has lasted for thousands of years.
After wanting to understand this, she used the already familiar Backlund "Mirror World" to leave here and return to her own home in Hillston Borough.
On Monday, after having a sumptuous Intis style lunch, Angel took a carriage to Saint Samuel Cathedral of North Borough, preparing to listen to sermons and pray to Goddess on a routine basis.
This time, in addition to the personal maid Aisha, she was followed by the housekeeper Ribak. The latter looked out the window absently, which was very different from his usual attentive and unsmiling style. Angel asked curiously:
"Ribak, do you have something to tell me?"
Her direct question made Mr. Butler stunned for a moment, then he lowered his head and whispered:
"Yes, Miss, I heard that you intend to make friends with retired officers and nobles with such connections?"
This is the information Angel deliberately spread in the chat after getting Qonas Kilgor's information from Lola yesterday. After returning to his home, he wanted to see this active-duty soldier in public, "MI9" is the deputy director of the major general. It is very difficult for her to be a civilian who just came to Backlund. Only by getting to know some retired officers can she have the opportunity to "encounter" this military Demigod through social situations.
Of course, it would be easy for people to notice abnormalities if the "social concept" is too straightforward. Therefore, Angel only used Instigator's ability to lay a foundation among the servants. He hadn't started with neighbors and friends yet. Unexpectedly, his butler had already discovered this keenly.
"Yes, you should know that I have lived in Intis for several years before, and many wealthy people there have the experience of doing business overseas, and I have also been involved in this field a little bit."
Angel sounded sad, as if recalling his past life.
"By chance, I hitched a ride with the Sauron Family and owned a cargo ship of my own. I am currently traveling between the Rhoside Islands and North Continent, doing some less public and legitimate business. Oh, they are not illegal in the Loen Kingdom, because the ship's registration place is Gargas Archipelago, and the captain is also from Intis. You don't have to worry."
Seeing the change in the butler's expression, she added.
"In order to expand my business, I'm thinking that maybe I should focus my social networking efforts on retired military officers. They have connections in the military, especially the navy, and can get resources that outsiders can't get. Maybe I can make my business bigger."
She vaguely expressed that she wanted to get involved in the business of smuggling military equipment, but she kept her words very vague, so that even if the housekeeper and maid had different intentions, there was no clear evidence.
"I see," Ribak nodded, as if he didn't care about what was hidden in Angel's words. "If that's the case, maybe I can think of a way for you."
Huh? I was just laying the groundwork for future actions, but I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain?
Angel was stunned, and immediately thought of his butler's previous work experience:
He once served Pallas Negan Duke who was assassinated, and was also sent by Duke to teach Noble Etiquette to the new noble Baron Cinderas.
"Duke?"
She asked briefly, Ribak must be able to guess what she wanted to ask through this word.
"No, another one."
Ribak smiled slightly and replied.
That is Baron Cinderas. He purchased 600,000 acres of land and donated nearly one million pounds. He transformed from a banker and investor into the hereditary Baron, which can be called a legend of Backlund.
Is he also involved in the arms trade behind his back, or does he have connections in the military? By the way, the people he donated and attached to were the bosses of his predecessor Duke Negan, former Navy Admiral and Conservatives, so Duke let Ribak went to help him enter the upper class society, and Ribak is a retired soldier and is more sensitive to this information... Angel thought about it, just nodded, and did not continue the topic.
It's only appropriate to stop now. If you are too radical, your true purpose will easily be exposed.
When she looked out the window again, Saint Samuel Cathedral arrived.
Today's sermon was still delivered by Bishop Electra, but Pastor assisted him a lot less, and the men in windbreakers who often sat in the first row to pray were also missing, making Angel keenly feel a slightly different atmosphere than before.
After listening to the sermon as usual and donating 20 pounds, Angel frowned slightly, approached the bishop who had become somewhat familiar with her recently, and asked softly:
"Bishop Your Excellency, what happened today? Many familiar Pastor are no longer in the Prayer Hall."
Elektra, who was taking a short break and preparing for the afternoon mass, saw that it was Miss who had the second largest donation this month after Dwayne Dantès. He couldn't help but show a kind smile on his face. He hesitated for a moment and finally answered:
"Just last week, one of Goddess's servants returned to the Kingdom of God. Under the watchful eyes of Goddess, Slumber Charm had many things to deal with, so they went to help Archbishop Saint Anthony."
This should be the funeral affairs of "Mirror Person", and in fact it is also the funeral affairs of senior deacon Pierce Turner himself. After all, he was not "really" dead until three days ago, and the church must put on a full show, otherwise it will damage his posthumous name... Angel just showed a hint of curiosity on his expression and did not continue to ask. After all, an ordinary believer would not be interested in such a thing.
But just as she was about to leave, Bishop Electra stopped her:
"Christine Teresa Miss," the nearly forty-year-old, somewhat thin bishop read out her full name with an unusual smile on his face, "I learned from the believers' information that you just returned to Loen from Intis and came to Backlund a month ago, and are you still thinking about marriage?"
This is considered tactful, no, it is a bit straightforward to ask me if I am ready to get married?
Angel looked at the bishop's face for a moment, nodded, and asked in a confused tone:
"Yes, Bishop Your Excellency, what can I do for you?"
"That's right," Elektra first glanced at the believers in the Prayer Hall and found that they were not approaching, then continued, "A devout believer in Goddess said euphemistically I have a good impression of you. Although he is quite different in age from you, he comes from a well-off family, is in good health, has a kind personality, and is friendly to others. Time has not left many marks on his face... I mean, are you willing to try to get in touch with him?"
"You mean Mr. Dwayne Dantès?"
Angel said in "surprise", but his heart immediately locked onto the culprit of this matter.
Arrodes!
"Do you know him? That's great. So, um, I mean, you already have a good foundation. You can consider going one step further. There will be a dance held at his mansion this Saturday. Are you willing to attend?"
The bishop looked happy and continued to practice the teachings of Goddess, working hard to bring the two believers together.
Worried that Angel would refuse, he immediately added a few more sentences:
"Maybe you think age will be the biggest obstacle between two people, but believe me, this is not an insurmountable barrier. For example, I met my current wife three years ago and married her two years ago. The age difference between her and me is larger than the age difference between you and Dawn."
Following the idea of leading by example, Elektra said something that surprised even Angel.
The age gap between me and Klein, well, and Dawn is even bigger, that is, almost 20 years apart. Bishop Your Excellency, when you met your wife, she was not yet an adult... Angel showed undisguised surprise, then calmed down his expression and nodded with a smile:
"Thank you, Bishop Your Excellency. I am also preparing to get to know Mr. Dantès in depth. I will attend the dance held by him."
"That's good..."
After hearing the satisfactory answer and watching the young Miss leave, Elektra felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
But the next second, he suddenly froze and noticed what he said in order to win over the other party.
He quickly glanced around the Prayer Hall and found that the new group of believers had already sat down, either bowing their heads in prayer or closing their eyes to meditate. No one noticed what he just said. Elektra breathed a sigh of relief, cleared his throat, opened the "Night's Revelation" in front of him, and announced the start of the next sermon.
He is going to preach on the chapter about "marriage", especially the content that Goddess encourages true love across nationality, identity and age.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Angel appeared on time in the palace shrouded by Gray Fog. This time, she was fully prepared to sell the Beyonder Characteristic she had saved to enrich her treasury.
But first...
She looked at the "world" Klein at the end of the long table, and thought of Bishop Electra's words at noon.
