His eyes quickly swept across the golden gold and banknotes on the carpet. Angel quickly calculated the corresponding value in his mind and understood that these were the payments Helene received from Nass's resistance army.
The value of gold coins that are rarely in circulation is slightly higher than the face value, while the value of gold bars of equal weight is slightly lower. After the offset, the total is about 12,500 pounds. Helene should have taken away the 1,000 pound share in advance... The income is better than I expected. I thought less, but it was already pretty good. Excluding the cost I paid previously and the 7,000 pounds to be handed over to Veteran Officers Club's Sander, I could probably earn 4,000 pounds. The arms business was really hugely profitable...
Angel was thinking, and did not rush to gather the gold coins to his side. Instead, he looked at Wensa who was sharpening his claws on the carpet and asked with a smile on his face:
"Did Helene say anything else?"
"She said the transaction went smoothly, but I found two ambushers near the transaction location... Beyonder of 'Storm' Pathway. They were very cautious and did not take action."
Very cautious... This is not in line with the character of Pathway. Could it be that he happened to be aware of the appearance of Wensa and was worried that it was a trap?
According to the example of the headless messenger Reinette Tinekerr who was Angel "before death" and became Spirit World Creature, he also had stronger strength than Sequence 3. Angel guessed that Before Wensa became the Spirit World black cat, he might have been a "Unaging" Demoness. It is unknown whether it was a black cat from beginning to end, or whether it changed from a human to a black cat for some reason.
Of course, she preferred that the other person was also a human during his lifetime. After all, how could a cat be related to "White Saint" Katarina?
Muttering in his heart, Angel changed his tone to a more formal tone, put away the smile on his face towards Gold Pound, and asked cautiously:
"Do you know anything about 'Unaging', Demoness, and 'Fountain of Youth'?"
"You want to ask about 'Fountain of Youth Water' who is the material of Potion? It seems that you have found a way to bypass or solve Promotion Ritual..." Wensa ruthlessly exposed Angel's intentions, "To Sequence 3 I don't have much to say about. After being promoted, you will understand that this Sequence is a stage where 'Demoness' has experienced a qualitative change from ability to existence, not the Sequence 4 of most Pathway."
"As for the 'Fountain of Youth', I do know that it is not the legendary spring hidden in the Sunia Sea that can make people live forever, but I have forgotten the specific address and I need some means to remember it."
Angel watched silently as the black cat shook its head on his carpet and said something like "I have to pay more" like a coquettish child. I wanted to kick it and kick it from the third floor window into my garden.
But I may not be able to beat it, and once it starts to cause trouble, too much movement will attract the attention of outsiders. I am only wearing underwear... After weighing for a moment, Angel gave up using violent methods, but squeezed out a smile again and asked:
"So, what do I need to do to remind you?"
Seeing that Angel had made the topic clear, Wensa no longer pretended to be a cat having fun on the carpet. Instead, he slowly crawled to her feet, held his neck high, and looked upward with his blue eyes, his vertical pupils staring closely at Angel.
"We need a promise from you," it said, with an extremely serious tone. "This can be fixed through the messenger's contract. If it is violated, even you will have to pay a heavy price: after being promoted to Sequence 3, among the Demoness Sect, you have to choose our side."
Angel took two steps back without hesitation, shook his head and said:
"First of all, I am not a member of the Demoness Sect. Secondly, which side do you represent? The side that has been doing evil for thousands of years, Instigation committing crimes, creating disasters, concocting conspiracies, and spreading diseases? The side that causes human trafficking and causes Backlund Great Smog?"
"Demoness is Black of Calamity, the priest is War of Red, how can Pathway of disaster and disaster not cause any turmoil and Catastrophe? The fact that you completed the "desperate" Promotion Ritual does not mean that other Demoness can have such luck and help... We can only promise that we are relatively better than what you said."
Wensa retorted with a very fast tone as the whiskers on his face kept trembling.
The priest, War of Red, completed the ritual by trick?
Several nouns made countless thoughts flash through Angel's mind, and they immediately connected to the description of the capabilities of "Hunter" Pathway High Sequence Beyonder on the "Red Priest" card, and the Promotion Ritual of Sequence 0 "Red Priest": starting a war that swept the continent and gaining enough victory.
"Demoness" are two extreme but similar sides. Is this Pathway, which is adjacent and represents "Calamity"... Angel suddenly understands the helplessness of "other Demoness" mentioned by Wensa.
Of course, this does not mean that I will forgive Demoness Sect members such as "Nightingale of Despair" Panacea.
"So, are you asking for a promise from me on behalf of 'White Saint' Katarina and her descendants?"
She thought again of the little help Katarina had provided when she was preparing to "desperate" Potion, and her tone was no longer so resistant.
"More, you must know that there are many people within the sect who want to change the status quo, and Katarina is just a more active one."
Wensa replied in a somewhat ethereal tone.
If I don't agree to it, you can try to divine the location of "Fountain of Youth" through Arrodes. Of course, as someone who has mastered almost all "Demoness" Pathway resources and is proficient in Anti-Divination Demoness Sect will definitely be on guard against this method. That Magic Mirror may not be able to penetrate these interferences. If he is wandering on the sea with the "Demoness" card in hand, he may be targeted by other High Sequence Witch before he finds the target...
After weighing it in his mind for a moment, Angel considered and said:
"Katarina is still cooperating with the Loen Royal Family and that faction of the military?"
"Limited to the other party's Secret Keeping methods, I don't know her whereabouts, but the cooperation related to 'Great Smog' was originally the responsibility of Clarice. Katarina took over just to wait for the final transaction to be completed. She will not be an obstacle during your investigation."
Does this mean that these members of the Demoness Sect have almost received their share of the benefits and do not intend to continue to help Loen Royal Family... She muttered in her heart and finally made a decision:
"If what you said before is true, then after being promoted to 'Unaging', I will stand on your side in the internal struggle of the Demoness Sect."
Angel left some room for "discretion" in her promise, such as requiring that what the other party said was true, such as only agreeing to stand by Wensa's side. But as soon as she finished saying this, she noticed a slight change in the invisible connection between herself and the messenger Wensa.
This is not as "mandatory" as when she signed the contract with Anne, but it will also cause some harm to Spirit Body when she breaks her promise.
It's not fatal, but it's better not to violate it... She understood something in her heart and looked at Wensa again, waiting for the location where it said "Fountain of Youth", but the latter just jumped into the air with all four limbs and got into Spirit World.
Did she go to the study next door?
Angel, who immediately noticed the other party's movements, was a little helpless. She had taken off her dress just now to take a bath with peace of mind. She was only wearing underwear now, but she was being walked around by the cunning black cat in her home, which made her feel astonished that their identities had been reversed.
No, maybe this is in line with our relationship, like a cat running around and its owner chasing it...
When she got out of Mirror World and came to the study, Wensa had disappeared. On the world map hanging on the wall, a cross was drawn with a sharp claw on a corner deep in the Fog Sea, marking the location of "Fountain of Youth".
Far away from the south North Continent, almost to the end of the world, and there is no island marked on the map. It seems that the legend is completely unreliable... Wait, this hanging map seems to be worth 30 pounds... Angel's expression changed, and finally he wiped it on the map, smoothed the cut cloth, tried to eliminate the damage caused by Wensa, and then returned to his bedroom.
Before taking a bath, she had to pick up these precious Gold Pound.
East Borough, in a room with the curtains drawn in a dilapidated apartment rented to various workers and maids.
Countless black, thick and slippery snakes squirmed, like flexible tentacles, wrapped into balls, overturning tables and chairs, and crushing simple wooden beds into pieces.
Some of the ends of these venomous snakes that extend outward have black eyes, looking around vigilantly. Some open into mouths and spit out scarlet bifurcated snakes, and some gather into tips secreting mucus and continue to extend around.
The moans of Affliction kept coming from inside "Serpent Ball", long-lasting but suppressed, as if they were worried that they would spread outside the room with poor soundproofing and be heard by others.
Suddenly, these tentacle-like venomous snakes shrank inward, and the sphere as tall as a person quickly became smaller and collapsed, revealing a girl curled up on the ground with her hands on her knees. She had fair skin, slender limbs, and a perfectly curved back. Her drooping face was wrinkled, and her eyes were closed tightly, revealing expressions of Affliction and Distortion. The low moans came from her slightly opened mouth.
The poisonous snake wrapping her quickly shrank and disintegrated into black and shiny filaments, and quickly returned to the girl's body.
Those are actually her hair!
As the long hair returned to normal, apart from the crushed bed and the tables and chairs that fell to the ground, there was no trace of any connection with the horrific and weird scene in the room. The moans of the girl Affliction, who was curled up on the floor, also stopped and she slowly opened her eyes.
The confusion in those captivating black eyes quickly subsided, and she regained her composure. She climbed up skillfully, found her nightgown among the broken wood, and put it on her body, covering her small but perfectly shaped breasts and slender waist, revealing only her snow-white feet that were in sharp contrast with the dark floor.
Looking at the messy room, Trissy frowned and felt that whether it was to avoid possible pursuit or for life reasons, he should change his hiding place.
"If this continues, it won't take long for the 'Affliction' in my body to be completely digested. By then, the new 'gift' will allow me to step into High Sequence and become Demigod. At the same time, I will be closer to 'Him'...
"Performing Promotion Ritual normally and taking Potion may be able to avoid all of this, but it will require more time and resources, and what I lack is exactly these two items... If I don't seize the time to solve everything, I may become the unconscious Divine Descent Vessel who spreads disease and plague in this city. Ha, if he is still here, he will definitely not want to see all this..."
Gently opening the corner of the curtain and looking at the streets that had just recovered some order after suffering a terrible plague half a year ago, Trissy raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Perhaps, asking for help from that 'Golden Queen' is the only way... I didn't expect that the very vigilant girl a year ago would actually become the famous Pirate King Five Seas. Could it be that she also has the... favor of God?"
Trissy muttered, pausing for a moment when he read the last word, with a mocking smile on his face.
