It wasn't until the sun was shining brightly outside the window and there were already many ships floating on the Serenzo River that Angel woke up from his sweet dream.
After being promoted to Sequence 4, her need for sleep has weakened a lot. She still maintains good sleeping habits purely out of the need for Spirituality to recover and maintain the best physical condition. In addition, after understanding more about the reasons why Beyonder lost control, Angel also believes that this habit can stabilize her own state and reduce the probability of losing control and going crazy.
"Having said that, after leaving Backlund, I finally don't have to get up early to complete the visits, salons and dinners on my schedule one by one..."
Looking at the busy river that ran through Trier, Angel opened the window and took a breath of fresh air. Then he left the hotel suite, went to the street, and found a cafe to enjoy a delicious breakfast.
A trout roll, a pie filled with fat and thin minced meat, a seasonal fruit and coffee with extra milk, all cost only 1 Verl D'Or in District 13, which is not expensive, which is about 10 pence in Loen currency.
At Backlund, the price of such a breakfast would be at least double... Burping lightly, Angel left the cafe and walked along the river to Steam Train Station, where she got off when she entered Trier.
Soon, in the steam that spread to the street from time to time, she saw the onion-shaped dome painted gold, symbolizing Sun, the high wall with a white background and gold edge, and the huge Sun Holy Emblem, as well as the golden clock tower with large clocks on all sides, with a perfect round golden ball on top, shining brightly in the sun.
That is the church of "Eternal Blazing Sun" located at Honest People Market District.
As Eternal Blazing Sun, represented by Sun and symbolized by gold, his church always uses a lot of gold when building churches, including gold foil on the exterior walls, gold sculptures inside, and gorgeous stairs and columns. This style has also influenced the entire Intis, forming a unique gold art in Fifth Epoch.
I wonder if a thief came to steal the gold foil from their outer wall in the middle of the night... Angel squinted his eyes, trying to identify whether the golden ball on the top of the bell tower showed the background color under the gold foil in the sun, but quickly gave up.
Because she noticed that Pastor at the door of this "Saint Robespierre Church" was already looking this way.
Withdrawing her gaze as if nothing had happened, she, a believer of Evernight Goddess and a member of "Goddess Troop", followed the people passing by the church and slowly approached the magnificent main entrance of the church, and walked away without stopping at all. It was not until those two gazes were retracted that she went around into an alley, away from the golden light of "Eternal Blazing Sun".
"It seems that no one has the idea of gold foil on the surface of Saint Robespierre Church. Even if there is, the Tribunal will be imprisoned underground..."
She muttered, found a hired carriage at the nearby Steam Train Station, and took the carriage back to the hotel next to the Serenzo River.
Originally, she came here just to take a look at the location of the nearest church, so that when she needed Orthodox Church's help, she could get into the church as quickly as possible to receive shelter.
Even if you have to face a conflict between the two major churches afterwards, it is still better than losing your life.
However, Backlund and the largest Church of Night are mixed into "Mirror Person". Can absolute safety be guaranteed in Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun?
Thinking of this, Angel couldn't help but get out of the car window and look behind. He happened to see the onion roof reflecting the sun being blocked by the buildings on the narrow road and disappearing from sight, as if the last light was covered by darkness.
In sharp contrast, there is a six-story masonry building with dark exterior walls on the street. Its walls are cracked and peeled off. The black surface is like a superposition of dark or light color blocks, which becomes lighter as it goes up. All the windows facing the street, including the window frames, are missing, just like rows of Pure Black's eyes looking at Angel.
What attracted Angel was not only the appearance of this strange building, but also the flutter in her heart when the carriage passed by.
Dong Dong, she knocked on the carriage in front of the carriage and asked:
"What is that black building you just passed by?"
After a while, she learned the history of that house from the driver's Intisian accent from the southern Leiston region.
This building was originally a popular apartment for Market District residents and was full of residents most of the time. However, since a bizarre fire killed one-third of the residents ten years ago, the entire building has been abandoned. District councilors have always wanted to demolish this urban scar on the edge of Honest Market, close to the "gateway" location of Steam Train Station, and rebuild it into a brand new building that conforms to the latest aesthetics, but for some reason, the proposal has not been passed.
The bizarre fire never passed the reconstruction proposal... Angel somehow remembered the extraordinary cases he had been exposed to, and instinctively suspected that there was official Beyonder involvement behind it. He even wanted to stand next to the building and rely on divination to obtain more information, but gave up quickly after thinking about it.
This kind of thing was done by "Machinery Hivemind" and "Purifiers". What room for me, Nighthawks, to interfere?
As for the throbbing, she thought it was a reminder from Spirituality, indicating that there would be some trouble inside this matter. There might be gains, but the greater possibility was danger.
The most important thing is to complete your job... Angel muttered and stopped disturbing the driver.
Returning to his suite, Angel took out the ancient silver mirror from Mirror World that Archbishop Anthony gave to him, and drew symbols representing secrecy and voyeurism on it.
Soon, the surface of the silver mirror shining in the sun turned dark, like an entrance to a mysterious world, and silver characters appeared above it, and the ones used were actually Intisian.
"Dear Mistress, your humble servant Arrodes has finally waited for your call!"
It first complimented, and then quickly continued:
"But the power accumulated by this silver mirror is limited. I can probably only communicate for less than five minutes. What do you want to ask?"
It was still so considerate, even giving me questions in advance... Angel curled her lips, not daring to waste time, and quickly said:
"I have arrived at Trier. You must have known all the purposes of my coming here before, so I need more clear clues, or ways to find clues."
Her question is very vague. If it is a general divination or Spirit Channeling, this method is easy to get vague and unclear answers. However, when the other party has Wisdom and will actively cooperate with "Sealed Artifact", the benefits of this kind of questioning can be fully reflected.
"Mistress, when the distance is too far and Trier is protected by a complete city wall, I can't see too much reality... But based on your experience and things you have access to, I can provide the following suggestions."
It turns out that Trier's city wall really has occult purposes. Is it because of Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun's magic or Church of Steam's technology... Angel suppressed his inner surprise and continued to look at the dense silver-white text.
"The informant you met last night should have important clues. You should give priority to him, but be careful. Although you can't see clearly, there are more than one eyes on him!"
Sure enough, the informant possesses some important information that he may not necessarily know. He should look through the notebook when he has time. Three days later, try to have a detailed talk with him to confirm whether he has been exposed to the official Beyonder's sight... Angel pressed the palm-sized but very thick notebook in his pocket and moved his eyes down to the next paragraph.
"The 'Eternal Blazing Sun' church has a natural advantage over Mirror Person, but the 'God of Steam and Machinery' church has been threatened and is secretly investigating these incidents. You can try to contact them and act together, but beware of being misled by Mirror Person who is mixed in."
So, if you encounter danger, the plan of hiding in Saint Robespierre Church is feasible? But the attempt to cooperate with "Machinery Hivemind" should be left for last. There are many discords even within the Loen Kingdom and Three Great Churches, let alone in a foreign country...
Shaking his head and rejecting the suggestion, Angel looked at the last paragraph:
"You already know the simplest method. Take the black mirror fragments left behind by Mirror Person after his death. As long as you get close to them within a certain range, which may be within ten meters, the fragments will react. But at the same time, the other party should also have the same induction. The following is a method to hide the induction between mirrors..."
Angel immediately wrote down this method without thinking about it carefully, so as not to waste precious communication time. However, after displaying these dense paragraphs of text, Arrodes had obviously spent most of his energy, and the following silver characters seemed weak:
"Mistress, I can only answer one more question. Communication within the city wall is more difficult than I thought. What else do you want to ask?"
Calculated like this, it takes less than three minutes. It seems that the time to connect to Arrodes is calculated based on the number of words used to answer the question, not the actual length of time... Angel cursed and quickly asked the second question:
"Where can I find the members of the Demoness Sect?"
No words appeared on the surface of the silver mirror again. Instead, behind a rippling silver light like water, a picture with a relatively single color appeared.
That is the ground overlooking from a high altitude. You can clearly see the intersection of two rivers. On one side in the distance is the city wall among the trees, and on the other side is the Trier urban area, surrounded by neatly planned grapevines.
The picture zoomed in quickly. In a small town next to the city, a building with a red roof and off-white walls appeared in the center of the mirror, and a line of text appeared below:
Trier Western suburbs, Shayo Town.
As soon as I wrote down the picture and the text of the prompt, the surface of the silver mirror shimmered and returned to its original color. Destroyed by time, the no longer smooth surface faintly reflected the disguised face of Angel.
That's gone... She curled her lips and tried to touch the surface of the silver mirror as if activating "2-111". She put the mirror away after finding no response.
Then, she took out the black mirror fragment that appeared after the death of the fake Pierce Turner. Using the method Arrodes just mentioned, she cut off the contact with Spirituality with a little of her own blood and smeared it on it. She drew a symbol that represented secrecy but did not mean voyeurism. She then carefully tied it with the silk thread she generated so that no black surface was exposed.
This mirror fragment, which is twice as thick and covered with silk threads on the surface, allows her to weakly sense "Mirror Person" within ten meters, but due to the Anti-Divination effect, the other party will know nothing about it.
The whole Trier is so big. Where should I find the place where "Mirror Person" appears? If they really have a plan for the church, maybe a good place is near the church. And if Mirror Person can perfectly copy his memory, then they will also try to occupy the core of government institutions, and even the military and police systems...
Holding the fragment, Angel was thinking about the next move. Suddenly Spirituality was touched and looked towards the sofa in the living room.
Wensa, with shiny black fur and blue eyes like the ocean, was lying there with a letter in his mouth.
Seeing her looking over, Wensa relaxed his mouth and the letter slowly fell.
It just so happens that this Demoness, no, Demoness cat, must have some understanding of Trier!
Angel's eyes lit up, and he saw Wensa, as if he had already noticed it, did a backflip, got into Spirit World with her stunned expression, and disappeared.
