As the light of the sacrificial candles shook, the figure of the headless messenger Reinette emerged from the void, and all the heads held in his hands looked at Angel... the purple-red Charm beside his hands.
She is very interested in "Petrification" Charm? No, it's vigilance...
Angel looked at those four pairs of bright red eyes and suddenly understood the reason why Reinette paid attention to Charm.
The powerful messenger felt threatened.
This shows that Charm, made using a new method to concentrate the power in blood, has indeed greatly increased its power, and can even pose a threat to the messenger who at least possesses Sequence 3.
It's true that I spent almost a whole day using Black Flame to concentrate hundreds of milliliters of my blood, and almost exhausted Spirituality to make this Charm, and it also damaged my strength. It definitely consumes more than this amount of blood. It seems that what Will Auceptin said, the power of "Demoness" is in the blood... Angel muttered and handed over the letter and the gold coins he had prepared.
Reinette slowly withdrew his eyes from "Petrification" Charm and looked at the letter and gold coins. After a moment, the four heads spoke in turn:
"Next time..." "Don't..." "Use..." "Gold Louis..."
Huh?
Angel was stunned, and looked at the gold coin in his hand, only to realize that what he took out was not Loen Gold Coin, but "Gold Louis" worth 20 Verl D'Or, with the face of Intis Republic's first president engraved on the front.
It was originally printed with the portrait of Roselle and was called the golden Roselle. However, after Emperor Caesar was assassinated and the empire collapsed overnight, in order to eliminate his influence, the Republic changed it to the current format.
The most important thing is that 24 Verl D'Or is worth 1 Gold Pound, so the actual value of Gold Louis is less than Loen Gold Coin, which is equivalent to 1 Gold Pound.
"Sorry, I got the wrong one," Angel quickly put away Gold Louis, took out a brand new Loen Gold Coin, and handed it over, "This is your reward."
The head that said "Gold Louis" nodded and seemed very satisfied.
"Letter..." "Prepare..." "Send to..." "Who?"
"The Ghost Ship that last appeared during the battle outside Bayam city. It should have been dormant at Spirit World most of the time. Can you find it?"
As Angel spoke, he spread his palms and injected a small amount of Spirituality into the mark left by Anne, letting the Sword and Shield Balance Emblem, which had no power, exude an aura of majesty.
"As long as..." "At Spirit World..." "I can..." "Find..."
The heads of Reinette were full of confidence, but answered intermittently, then picked up the letters and gold coins respectively, took one last look at the "Petrification" Charm, and disappeared into Spirit World.
She looks very confident. She can track a Angel with her breath. Even if she is Ghost Ship and it is difficult to hide her whereabouts, it is still very remarkable. Reinette must have been Angel when she was alive...
Angel muttered and removed the altar.
After returning to Backlund, she had returned the harmonica that could quickly summon Reinette to Klein, leaving only the one to summon Black Cat Wensa. However, due to various concerns, Angel did not let Wensa carry out the letter this time, but spent gold coins to hire Reinette Tinekerr.
After all, that black-haired, no, black-haired, blue-eyed Demoness cat is a descendant of the Witch Family, and has an unclear connection with the Demoness Sect. She always felt that something would happen if she was asked to contact Anne... Angel recalled that when Black Cat Wensa first sent a letter to "Queen Anne's Revenge" on Spirit World, he seemed to be at war with Anne, and he did not dare to let the black cat go.
Rather than being at war with each other, it's better to say that Wensa is a little afraid of Anne. Isn't there something going on between them?
Putting the strange relationship between his messenger and the contractor behind him, Angel left the bedroom and, with the help of the maid who had been waiting outside, changed into the evening dress prepared for tonight's charity party.
This dress designed by the well-known designer Backlund is elegant black, but the shape is more conservative than the low-cut dress Angel wore to the ball before. Even the interlocking bones are not exposed. Only the collar and cuffs are supplemented by lace, and the skirt also falls at the ankles.
After all, he was attending a party organized by Goddess Church, not a noble dinner... Angel carefully adjusted the position of "Rose Necklace" so that the eye-catching gem would stay in the right place on his chest. Then he went to the first floor of the villa and saw the butler Ribak waiting at the door.
The latter's eyes politely stayed for a moment on Angel's rolled-up black hair, white neck, and waist outlined by the dress. Finally, he stared at the ground in front of her and said respectfully:
"Miss Theresa, Mr. Dwayne Dantès's carriage is already waiting at the door."
He was quite on time... Angel glanced at the huge clock in the hall and found that there were still fifteen minutes left before the scheduled time, so he nodded and said:
"I'll go out later. Have you arranged your meeting with Baron Cinderas tomorrow?"
"It's all arranged, Miss," the butler who had been busy all day replied immediately, "I have prepared a bottle of Baron's favorite Meige Manor home-brewed white wine. The chef will make some exquisite snacks suitable for weekend afternoons. He likes to light a East Balam cigar when he is alone, but he never smokes when meeting guests, especially when facing women."
Angel chuckled and had a slightly better impression of Baron, who had taken shares by force.
"In addition, after you met with Mr. Sander yesterday, he has contacted Baron Nicola from Intis, negotiated the specific details of the delivery of the goods, and asked me to express his gratitude to you on his behalf. He said that after the goods leave, he will discuss follow-up cooperation with you."
Ribak said this in a lowered voice, fearing that other maids in the hall would hear the details of this "grey deal."
"In this case, do I need to give him some, um, thank you money separately?"
Angel asked curiously.
She knows that in the entire transaction, Sander, as the middleman, will definitely get a part of the profit, but in order to close the relationship and win the favor of the other party, appropriate "profit sharing" is necessary.
"The general market price is 2% to 3%, but I think it can be appropriately higher for the first time."
Ribak thought for a moment and replied.
"Then prepare a thank you fee of 500 pounds. You can find an opportunity to give it directly to Mr. Sander."
Angel said rather painfully.
This is roughly equivalent to 4% of the entire transaction amount, but it exceeds 10% of the profit. Even though Angel is now considered "10,000 pounds Miss", and there is still a copy of Sequence 4's "Iron-Blooded Knight" Beyonder Characteristic in his pocket, I can't help but feel a little distressed.
This is a necessary sacrifice... She comforted herself, left the hall, came to the garden, and immediately saw the four-wheel carriage parked at the main entrance.
And the face of Klein looking over here from the car window.
"Miss, watch your step."
Audrey Hall stepped out of the carriage with the help of his personal maid, met his parents and brother, and stood at the door of Saint Samuel Cathedral under the night sky.
In the two days since she was wearing "Luck Hairpin", she had stepped on the unfixed corners of the carpet and the hem of her dress on the ground many times in full public view. Almost every time, she had to scramble to maintain her balance and avoid falling. Therefore, her maid was given special attention and had to keep an eye on her Miss feet to prevent her from "unluckily" falling.
I seem to have underestimated the negative effects of a Sequence 6 Mystical Item... She muttered inwardly, keeping a perfect smile on her face, followed her family into the main entrance of the church, and then was guided by a Pastor to a side hall.
This place was originally a Prayer Hall, but it had been rearranged for today's party. Several crystal chandeliers hung from the wedge-shaped roof. The light source was produced by black sacrificial candles and wax oil mixed with essential oils. The hall was illuminated cleanly and brightly. Along with the faint fragrance of essential oils, it gave it a sacred taste.
Neat rows of seats have been arranged on one side of the shrine with the Evernight Goddess holy emblem in the center. Guests with meticulous hairstyles, well-fitting clothes, and exquisite and expensive jewelry have either sat down or are chatting quietly to the side.
Marquis Losent, Viscount Ravlan, Councilor Macht, Colonel Pascal...Audrey's eyes swept over the familiar Goddess believers, and found that they cast their eyes to the corner of the hall from time to time, so they looked towards that end.
At the focus of everyone's hidden gaze is a woman with smooth black hair and beautiful eyes like Purple Gem. She seems to have just grown up, but her temperament is very mature and attractive. She is wearing a conservative black evening dress that outlines a perfect figure. The perfect curve of the white neck between the black hair and the black dress makes Audrey almost unable to take her eyes away.
Struggling to use "Spectator's" self-control to calm down his accelerated heartbeat, Audrey immediately found that the eyes of his parents and brother beside him were also attracted by Miss.
Well, this is as it should be, even I was almost fascinated by her... But Dad, you brought your mother to the party!
Audrey was keenly aware of a hint of crisis. She snorted softly and said:
"Is the person next to Miss the initiator of this charity gala, Mr. Dwayne Dantès?"
Her gentle but suggestive questions awakened several of her family members. Before Earl could speak, Hibbert Hall beside her nodded and said:
"Yes, he is Dwayne Dantès. I met him at Councilor Macht's house. He is a generous and funny Gentlemen. Next to him is Christine Teresa Miss, who recently returned to Loen from Intis, is also a devout believer of Goddess."
Christine Teresa...Audrey wrote down the name, then greeted the many guests with a smile, showing his most perfect side.
Her pet dog Susie was stopped by the church servants in the Entrance Hall outside the hall. There were several other noble pets there, placed in a corner of the Entrance Hall, looking at each other with half competition and half hostility.
Looking with pity at his kind who only had primitive instincts, Susie lay obediently by the door, looking into the room, watching his master elegantly greeting the nobles who came forward one by one, and approaching the woman in the distance who was very beautiful in terms of human aesthetics without leaving any trace.
Audrey, why are you like my peers...
Susie knew that it shouldn't speak at this time, so he buried this "diagnosis" of Psychiatrist in his heart and looked at the young woman with black hair and black skirt.
It suddenly discovered that those purple eyes felt inexplicably familiar.
