Mirror fragments?
Leonard felt that his head was even more chaotic than when he saw the empty coffin of Klein Moretti just now. He stretched out his hands covered with soil and tried to pick up the fragment that seemed a bit illusory in the dim tomb. However, he found that as soon as his fingers touched the cold mirror, the latter silently disintegrated and turned into wisps of flickering powder, sinking into the lining of the coffin and disappearing without a trace.
Hallucination, or...
He touched the velvet padding and found that although the inside of the coffin was slightly damp, there was no trace of the "corpse" lying on it. The powder after the broken mirror fragments were not real, and he almost doubted his own eyes.
After a while, Leonard raised his head and looked at Daly above, and found that the other person was as confused as himself. Only then did he confirm that what he just saw was not an illusion.
"What does it mean for a fragment of a mirror to disappear when it sees light?"
He asked softly, only to realize that his voice was hoarse after he spoke.
"Maybe it's the mirror spell of 'Witch'. She used Mirror Substitution in... that battle, which was mentioned in your report."
Daly explained, his head hanging down, and the expression on the face in the hood could not be seen clearly.
How could Mirror Substitution last for several days until we put her in a coffin and buried her in the ground?
Leonard, who had witnessed the whole process of the funeral, pursed his lips, not knowing how to refute the other party. He guessed that the person in his mind knew the answer, but Daly was here, and he couldn't pretend to be crazy and talk to himself.
But...
"Anyway, there are no bodies in the two tombs, which confirms our guess. Klein and Angel are indeed alive, and have changed their appearance, acquired new identities, and even tried to sneak into Chanis Gate, Stealing of Saint Samuel Cathedral!"
Leonard climbed out of the tomb twice, holding a shovel tightly in one hand and a fist in the other, repeating his thoughts as if to confirm.
But then, he discovered that Daly's mind was not on this at all, but was looking at another location of Raphael Cemetery.
Buried there is...
"Captain?"
Such a word popped out from the depth of his throat. This was not what he called Soest, the captain of his "Red Gloves" team, but was reserved for that captain specifically...
Dunn Smith.
Daly nodded slightly, then tightened his hood and strode towards another tombstone not far away.
Leonard also reacted, grabbed the shovel and followed Daly's footsteps, quickly surpassing her and heading towards the tombstone deep in his memory.
Yes, the three "victims" of Tingen Divine Descent Incident, Klein is still alive, Angel is still alive, what about the captain?
Thinking of this, Leonard felt that his heart beat a few beats faster.
At this moment, he no longer cared about whether Klein was Gehrman Sparrow who infiltrated Chanis Gate, Angel reported Demoness Sect, and what the purpose of sneaking into Nighthawks was. He only cared about what was going on in the third tomb and whether the captain he buried with his own hands was still alive!
Suddenly, the footsteps behind him disappeared.
Leonard took two more steps forward, then stopped belatedly and looked back at Daly who was following behind.
The latter's hood slipped off as he walked forward quickly, and a few black hairs lay messily on his forehead. The green eyes below were half-closed and turned pure black from time to time.
She was at Spirit Channeling, asking about the spirits wandering in the cemetery... Leonard felt that the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became colder than the middle of the night, and quietly waited for the answer.
Soon, Daly opened his eyes again and looked at Leonard who looked expectant.
Then, they shed tears.
"Welcome back from Intis, Miss Theresa."
Before setting off from Trier, Angel sent a telegram to Backlund to inform the housekeeper Ribak of the time of his return. Therefore, as soon as he got off the carriage, Angel was welcomed by the male and female servants, gardeners, coachmen and others in two rows in the garden. Ribak and Female Butler Ms. Kayla followed him into the manor villa.
It seems that the butler has not trained them less. This kind of welcoming style is a bit aristocratic, but the price is distressing... Angel muttered with half enjoyment and half discomfort, entered the living room, and waited for the two butlers to report to him what happened during their absence.
Keira, who was in charge of internal affairs, spent a lot of money to maintain the running of the home and prepare consumables for Social Season to organize the dance party that had already started. On the contrary, it was Ribak's report that made Angel frown.
"Baron Cinderas would like to visit at an optional date?"
She repeated Ribak's words, remembering that some time ago, in order to get closer to the truth about Backlund Great Smog, she had spread the news that she was interested in getting to know retired military officers and nobles with such connections, and Ribak volunteered to contact his former employer, Baron Cinderas.
Of course, since she later got connected with Sander of Veteran Officers Club and accepted the "test" of opening up smuggling channels, this clue was forgotten by her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned home from Trier, Ribak would bring it up again.
"Yes," Ribak nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, it's an informal visit."
This makes me worry. If he comes to visit officially, it may just be a social contact. In private, there may be something shady...Angel thought for a moment and asked:
"Do you know his purpose?"
Ribak shook his head and said:
"Sorry, Miss, I haven't had time to contact him about what you said last time, so he wants to get to know you for other reasons. Well, I guess it may be related to Veteran Officers Club."
Then it's still about smuggling... A millionaire, an emerging nobleman, came to me for nothing more than coveting my beauty. It seemed that Sander and the officers behind him couldn't wait to start "business" and even recommended me to others... Angel quickly figured out the connection and told his butler:
"I can meet with him. The specific time will be arranged by him, but he must notify me in advance."
Baron and Angel are also somewhat interested in Backlund, who has been quite the topic in Backlund's upper-class circles in recent years. Of course, this is mainly due to rumors that the other party has spent millions of pounds donating titles and spending lavishly to acquire properties and shares in various industries.
"By the way, don't disturb me in the afternoon. I'm tired from the journey and need a good rest... You can tell my neighbors that I'm back, along with some Intis-style gifts that match my identity."
Seeing Ribak nodding in agreement, Angel gave instructions to Ms. Kayla.
As for those "Intis gifts", the housekeeper lady is responsible for purchasing them. Backlund has many such souvenir shops, and Angel does not need to actually bring them back from Trier.
Anyway, no one really cares about how they came from Intis to Loen... Angel scorned this complicated and expensive social link, but had to integrate into it. After the two housekeepers left, he returned to the master bedroom on the third floor. He refused the help of the personal maid Aisha and personally packed away the valuable items in the luggage that could not be touched by servants.
When you soak yourself in the bathtub and enjoy the hot water and aromatherapy, Angel can relax your brain and start thinking about your next actions.
After returning to Backlund, her first priority was to report to Archbishop Anthony and tell him everything that happened to Trier, including the fact that the latent "Nighthawks" was replaced by Mirror Person.
"But before going to Saint Samuel Cathedral, I need to go to Klein to learn more about his process of infiltrating Chanis Gate, so as not to worry about it when I go to see Archbishop. Conflict arose due to knowledge of the situation... Of course, even if Klein offends Goddess Church, the problem should not be big. According to previous analysis, the entire operation of stealing notes may have been under the attention of the church's senior leaders..."
In the bathroom where the maid had retreated, Angel said to himself.
In addition, there are many things lined up in her "action list" in her mind.
For example, Pirate Conference will be held in the near future. After Helene confirms the date, she must discuss it with Anne. Otherwise, her "Golden Queen" will be just a polished commander. At most, she will bring "" Reaper Legion" pretending to be one of his own subordinates; such as the progress of Trissy's exploration, the possible insiders of Great Smog, the whereabouts of Qonas Kilgor; and the progress of Sherman's role-playing, etc...
After sorting out this information in his mind one by one, Angel left the bathtub, put on a loose nightgown under the service of Aisha, locked the door to block the stunning and envious sight of his maid, and without any delay, got into the full-length mirror in the bedroom and entered "Mirror World".
Böklund Street No. 160, Dantès House.
"Hugh, if we just stay and rest next door to Mr. Dantès, do we really not have to worry about him being secretly killed by others?"
A young woman who hid her slim figure and gorgeous appearance under a cloak looked away from the window and said to her companions.
Xio Derecha, who was shorter but not less imposing, chuckled and said:
"Don't worry, I said, 'Sheriff' can sense many things within its jurisdiction, including some evil and chaotic forces... If someone attacks our employer, I will know it immediately."
Of course, if it's someone who can't even be discovered by me, then we probably won't be able to defeat him, and it will be useless even if we find him... She added in her mind, glancing secretly at her friend, Shermane.
After the latter became "Witch" and became a complete woman due to the side effects of Potion, she seemed to have turned on a certain switch and quickly adapted to another gender and identity, including changes in clothing, behavior and mentality. Sometimes it even made Xio feel that the other person had lived as a woman for more than twenty years, and that he was the guy who had just turned into a woman less than half a month ago.
But no matter what, the fact that she can continue to treat me as a friend and complete this bodyguard commission with me when Fors sneaks away to Trier alone shows that she is still the same Sherman, no, Shermane... Xio laughed again under the other party's puzzled gaze and looked to the side of the bedroom.
Separated by a wall is their employer these days, Dwayne Dantès, who has been threatened by others due to business issues.
