Of course, "trial" refers to Klein, not Angel.

After all, he was the one who needed the notes.

This is simply digging a trap, blocking other roads, leaving only the method of "stealing" for Klein to take the initiative to get in... There is no doubt that at least Arianna, at the level of the Pope, knows that Klein is still alive. Cesimir should be just the messenger, and may have guessed some of the facts. After all, he has met Klein before, and even used Holy Artifact to make Klein swear an oath... By the way, Holy Artifact!

Angel thought of the white Bone Sword, and thought of the deeper connection with this God after pressing Holy Artifact and chanting Goddess Honorific Name...

So, Goddess should be able to know the status of Klein, and only after He issued Divine Revelation did the church have such preparations?

Therefore, this "trap" and this "trial" are actually conducted under the instructions of Goddess...

Angel couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then slowly exhale.

She was no longer surprised.

After all, this kind of thing has happened to Angel himself too many times: after time travel, he prayed to Goddess and received an answer, and unknowingly became a member of "Goddess Troop", with the help of "Goddess's Sword" and Arianna...

Since you who have some kind of "specialness" will get Goddess's attention, why can't you Klein who also has many secrets?

Fortunately, an orthodox God is paying attention to us, not the evil god... No, the evil god "Mother Tree of Desire" seems to be paying attention to Klein... Angel pursed his lips, and the days when he was Oravi Island flashed through his mind.

"In any case, let's tell Klein. Fortunately, he has not given up on another way to steal the notes from Saint Samuel Cathedral during this time, otherwise he would have to start over now..."

She murmured, took out the harmonica belonging to Klein, put it to her mouth, hesitated for a moment, then raised her mouth and blew.

"Miss, regarding the matter I mentioned to you last time... there may be a suitable person who can try to contact you."

At noon on Wednesday, after lunch, the butler Ribak dismissed the servants and whispered to Angel.

That thing?

Angel was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Ribak had told him two days ago that he could use his connections in previous service and work to contact some retired officers for him to do some gray business.

And Baron Cinderas, the banker and factory owner worth millions...

She nodded calmly and said:

"Who are they?"

"A few old friends of 'East Balam Veteran Officers Club', of course, you'd better not contact them publicly. Due to gender and identity, this can easily lead to criticism. Moreover, they also want to have private contact first, and then cooperate publicly when the time is right."

Ribak said as he replaced the servant and served Angel more Marquis black tea.

This means that I should show my sincerity first, such as completing a few businesses, or giving away enough benefits... Angel immediately understood the message conveyed by his butler, and secretly lamented the difficulty of trying to sneak into Backlund's upper class society with a reasonable and legal Pathway.

If Demoness uses Demoness's methods, I should have almost turned into a certain Baroness, no, maybe a viscountess. Not to mention the retired officers' club, I might even have a chance to meet King directly...

"Then, make an appointment for me and I will satisfy them."

It seems that he was affected by the bad thoughts just now. Angel's words were slightly ambiguous, which made Ribak's hand holding the teapot tremble.

After ending the conversation with the housekeeper, Angel kicked the maid out of the bedroom on the pretext of taking a lunch break, locked the door, put on light clothes, got directly into the full-length mirror, found the path to East Borough in the winding and dark Mirror World, and soon came to the alley where Sherman lived.

She originally wanted to sneak into the other party's home, but she was surprised to find Sherman talking to a child in the shadow of the door, so she stayed behind the window next to the door and eavesdropped on what he was saying through the mirror.

"The party you took me to twice, the one organized by Aurora Order's 'Mr. X', was destroyed by the official Beyonder last week. Do you have any clues?"

The one who is a head shorter than Sherman is actually not a child, but Xio Derecha whom Angel knows, and "Sheriff" who is familiar with "Magician" Fors!

Sorry, your body shape is very easy for people to mistake... Angel lowered his head shyly in the mirror, and heard Sherman reply from outside:

"After 'Black Skull Gang' was destroyed because the top executives were bombed to death, I was busy letting my 'Black Claw Gang' take over their territory. I haven't attended that party for a long time... But I heard the sound of strong wind and thunder from there last Friday night. I'm afraid Mr. X is in danger."

Sherman replied with a puzzled look on his face, making Angel sigh that the other party has "Instigator" talent.

Because she and Klein pretended to assassinate Mr. X and incidentally solved the operation of "Mirror Person". The hotel where they stayed and the cloak and mask used for disguise were arranged by Sherman.

"That's right. The official organization where my upline works is also investigating this matter. Please help me pay attention to the movements of East Borough. If you find the whereabouts of these two people, report it to me."

Saying that, Xio took out two brand new wanted posters from under his cloak and showed them to Sherman. Angel looked at them intently and almost laughed.

Although the facial features were not obvious, and although the black and white tone could not show all the details, she could still easily recognize the portraits of Mr. A and Panacea.

I don't know whether it was Church of Evernight who misled me, or Arrodes's "well-intentioned deception"...

"Be careful. They killed a powerful official Beyonder. Don't try to touch or contact them when you see them."

Sherman listened to Xio's warning with a serious face, took the wanted order and put it away.

"In addition, you should also pay attention to whether you are being followed. I suspect that 'Aurora Order' is checking all the members who have attended the party. I was followed yesterday. Fortunately, the other party did not seem to notice the problem and left quickly."

Xiu said with lingering fear.

When she went online, a member of "MI9" thought it was just a routine snoop. No matter how crazy "Aurora Order" was, and had just murdered a Church of Evernight Demigod, he would not make any big move in the short term. However, Xio always felt that she was not safe, and might even harm Fors who lived with her, and her mood for promotion had never been so urgent.

"He has an open identity in East Borough and is a gang member. Don't worry about 'Aurora Order'. On the contrary, Beyonder like you who often have contact with official organizations will be easily suspected by them."

A soft and slightly seductive voice came from behind Xio, causing her to look back involuntarily.

"Miss Irene?"

This "Sheriff" greeted him in surprise, and his annoyance at not sensing anyone behind him was relieved a lot - when the other party left Backlund half a year ago, his strength was countless times stronger than his own. It was not a shame to be approached quietly by such a Beyonder.

Moreover, Xio found that the vaguely dangerous intuition towards this Miss had disappeared, and the black-haired, round-faced woman in front of him now seemed to be just an ordinary woman that East Borough could be seen everywhere.

This does not mean that I have become stronger, but that she has become stronger. As Sheriff, my intuition in the "precinct" cannot take effect at all... Xio quickly came to this understanding, and after greeting her cautiously, he stopped talking.

Instead, Sherman said hello to Angel cheerfully, without Angel's fear or uneasiness when he saw him for the first time.

But Angel's next words brought him back to his original form.

"Are you ready to be promoted to Sequence 7?"

Sherman's confident smile immediately froze, and then moved to Xio's face next to her.

She learned from previous chats with this friend that after "Instigator" is promoted to "Witch", a man will transform into a completely female body.

I'm afraid this is his real intention in choosing to become Beyonder... Xio thought about it and looked at Sherman, only to find a rare hesitation on the other person's face.

Could it be related to them?

Xio's eyes turned to the apartment next to Sherman's house. Behind a window on the second floor, two pairs of eyes looked over secretly. After Irene joined the conversation, he became much more nervous.

Smiling secretly, Xio no longer stayed where she was to watch Sherman's jokes, but found an excuse to leave the alley.

In order to earn enough merit as soon as possible in exchange for the Potion formula of "Interrogator", she took on many tasks, and her steps were much lighter now.

"You should know that Sequence 8 alone cannot guarantee your current life. Even if you have hundreds of thugs under you, as long as Nighthawks or other organizations need it, you will become a missing person the next day."

Looking at the hesitant Sherman, Angel sighed secretly and patiently persuaded him.

As a victim of the side effects of Potion, she could understand the psychology of the young man in front of her.

No, in fact, I had no chance to choose at all. At that time, Cole had already drank Potion and turned into a woman... Angel thought with some embarrassment, coughed slightly, and added:

"Only by being promoted to 'Witch' can you truly gain the power of this Potion Pathway. Invisibility, Anti-Divination and avatars can save your life in battle. Curse and ice will become your most convenient weapons.

"Of course, you can also choose to stay at Sequence 8. After all, more than 90% of Beyonder are just Low Sequence. This is not a shameful thing... until the revenge of Great Smog, Beyonder, or even hundreds of pounds of life money breaks the peaceful life you are trying to maintain and hurts the most important person in your heart."

Although he did not use the "Instigation" ability, Angel's words still hit Sherman's heart hard, making him involuntarily look towards the apartment behind him and meet the eyes of Freyja and Daisy.

This gave him the ultimate courage.

"Miss Irene," he turned around and his eyes became firm, "I think I can be promoted to 'Witch'."
