Carefully, he picked up a small insect with twelve transparent rings and placed it on an iron sheet soaked with his own concentrated blood. He watched it slowly blend into it and form a Vortex-shaped protrusion on the iron sheet. Angel took a deep breath, picked up the engraving knife, and carved on it the symbol that Bansy Harbor discovered, representing the power of "Calamity".
Since Charm has made this kind of Charm many times at different Sequence, Angel carved the complex patterns with ease. Through Spirituality, he drew out the dark red blood contained in the glass bottle drop by drop, filled the newly carved grooves, and waited for them to cool and solidify naturally.
This is almost identical to the "Calamity" Charm made by her Oldest One, and the upgraded version "Calamity" made by Sequence 4, who concentrated the power in her blood under the guidance of Will Auceptin. The biggest difference is that the base material that carries these powers has undergone essential changes.
That is "Angel of Time", "Blasphemer" and "Worm of Time" left behind by Amon's Avatar, possessing the personality of King of Angel, even if Beyonder Characteristic has been sucked away by Pales Zoroaster, leaving only the insect body without power, can also make my Charm undergo various strange changes... Angel thought, using Spirituality instead of fingers to turn over Charm, letting the dark red concentrated blood fill the runes engraved on this side.
The power of Charm made with "Worm of Time" has not increased much. Angel guesses that the problem may be with herself. With her ability of Sequence 4, I am afraid she can only activate this small part of the power of "City of Calamity". The change of the base material will not increase it much.
But the new Charm can make this power out of the control of Angel himself. As long as Spirituality activates it enough, anyone can use "Calamity", "Betrayal" and "Petrification" Charm, just like "Luck Stealer" made by Klein.
Seeing that the runes on the other side were filled and solidified by dark red liquid, Angel took Charm, which had turned dark red, with the shadow of curled insects vaguely visible on the surface, and placed it on a simple altar.
Then, she entered the state of Artificial Sleepwalking through repeated self-suggestion, and then manipulated her body to lower her head and pray with Ancient Hermes:
"Queen Feared by Pirates, Master of the Spirit World Boat, Nightmare of Thousands of Ships, Incarnation of Pain and Despair, Golden Angelica Zaki...
"I pray for your power, I pray that you will bring the power of Calamity to this Charm..."
As Sequence 4, Angel does not have the ability to respond to this ritual, but if it is limited to "praying to yourself", responding to Honorific Name will give you strength. The minimum limit was lowered from Sequence 3 to her current Sequence, which is also the basis for the production of the enhanced version "Calamity" Charm.
As "Mystic Ritual" took effect, she felt that a part of her Spirituality entered the Charm in front of her through prayer and "bestowal", causing the originally dark red iron piece to float on its own, and the lines engraved on both sides were lit up one by one with abundant power, filling Wall of Spirituality with the aura of destruction and Calamity terror.
Poof——
With a soft sound, in the center of these powers, Charm floating on the altar seemed to be crushed by invisible hands, turning into fine dark red powder, floating in the air like dust.
But this change passed in a flash, and they quickly gathered together again, forming a translucent Charm about the size of half a playing card, with rounded corners, elegant lines, and a purple appearance.
Through the candlelight next to it, one can see that there is an insect body wrapped in a ball with twelve links connected end to end, adding a touch of "abnormality" to its monotonous color.
Spirit Body returned to the body, Angel picked up the Charm that fell on the altar, removed Wall of Spirituality with satisfaction, and looked at the sun outside the window at the Charm that showed the same color of light as her eyes.
On the table next to her, there are two other Charms with similar colors but slightly different details. They are "Betrayal" and "Petrification", an upgraded version of Charm based on "Worm of Time".
Angel speculates that the "Marauder" ability represented by "Worm of Time", especially the "finding loopholes" skills demonstrated by Amon, is the key to allowing these Charm to be used by others.
This is essentially me stealing the power from myself and integrating it into Charm, so that I can bypass the restriction that it can only be activated by me... Well, now I finally understand the pleasure of Amon's Avatar "Stealing"... she muttered, stuffed the "Calamity" Charm and the other two "Worm of Time" into the envelope together with the written letter, and then summoned the headless messenger Reinette Tinekerr.
As Spirituality throbbed, Spirit World Creature, one of Angel and Spirit Vision, was holding two heads in each hand and was wearing a complicated black dress with nothing above her neck. Spirit World Creature dropped from the ceiling to the ground. Four pairs of scarlet eyes wandered back and forth on the table, the envelope and Angel's body.
"Please give this letter to the person in charge of 'Queen Anne's Revenge'. You have been there before, so you should be able to locate her, right?"
Angel handed over the envelope and a pure gold Loen Gold Coin and said with a smile.
"Okay..." "I can sense..." "It's at the location of Spirit World..." "
That's good... Angel muttered, stuffing the gold coins into one of Reinette's mouths, and stuffing the envelope into the other.
The content of the letter was very simple. Angel only mentioned that she had solved the Amon's Avatars with the help of the mark left by Anne, so she had a share of the "loots". She also took it upon herself to make one of the "Worm of Time" pieces into a finished Charm product, so that the other party could judge whether the remaining two should be dealt with in the same way.
Of course, Angel believes that Anne, who is Angel, may have a more reasonable use for "Worm of Time". At least Bernadette Gustav should know a lot about it.
Finally, she tactfully mentioned the issue of "mark" charging in her letter.
Mutual aid, this is mutual aid... She soothed her little conscience and sent away Reinette Tinekerr, whose eyes would linger on the other "Worm of Time" and Charm from time to time, as if she wanted to say something.
Huh, she still owes me 10,000 gold coins. She probably doesn't dare. No, she's too embarrassed to make any other demands...
Muttering under his breath, Angel collected the remaining materials and Charm, left the study, and returned to the bedroom to catch up on some sleep, only to find that Female Butler Keira was already waiting at the door of his bedroom.
"Miss, Ms. Lola Swann has arrived. Following your previous instructions, I will place her in Reception Room on the east side of the second floor."
Seeing his employer coming, Keira bowed slightly and said.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Angel nodded, returned to the bedroom and put on clothes suitable for visiting guests, and came to the living room to meet "Pleasure" Demoness, who had not visited for a while.
This meeting was not brought up by Lola, but Angel took the initiative to invite the other party. After all, she was about to go to the Fog Sea to find the legendary "Fountain of Youth". As a former member of the Demoness Sect, whose mother is "Demoness of Unaging", Lola must have a certain understanding of this legend...
"Fountain of Youth? "Demoness, whose long black hair was tied behind her head, revealing her delicate skin and elegantly curved neck, blinked and asked in confusion, "Isn't that one of the legends of the sea? I heard that people throughout Fifth Epoch are constantly trying to find this spring that can prolong life and restore youth, but only 'King of Immortality' has successfully done it."
"That guy is a liar... I personally saw an exploration ship stranded east of the Sonia Sea, and Adventurer who was looking for Fountain of Youth was killed, and the news that deceived them was spread by 'King of Immortality' Agalito."
Angel took a sip of the refreshing unsweetened coffee and said with regret.
She originally thought she could find out the information from Lola, but the other party was either determined to conceal it or really didn't know, leaving her unable to tell.
"However, 'Fountain of Youth' should be real," Lola's lake-blue eyes rolled and he changed his tone, "After all, my mother used the spring water there when she was promoted to 'Unaging'."
"It's deep in the Fog Sea, isn't it?"
Angel asked immediately.
"I don't know about that. It was more than a thousand years ago when she was promoted, and I wasn't even born yet. "Lola replied with a chuckle. It seemed that the discussion was not about his mother's age, but some tidbits of news.
It seems that "Unaging" Demoness can indeed live for thousands of years, and even retains the appearance of his youth. In this sense, "Fountain of Youth" is worthy of its name... Angel muttered, and changed the topic when he couldn't get any other information:
"You seem to be still 'Pleasure', haven't you considered being promoted to the next Sequence? You know the formula of Potion, is it because it is difficult to achieve Promotion Ritual?"
When I came to Backlund ten months ago, I was just "Witch", and Lola was already "Pleasure". Now I am preparing Potion for Sequence 3 material, Lola is still "Pleasure", this is too... She cursed, looked at Lola, and found that the other party was not worried about being blocked from promotion, and still had that faint smile on his face.
"My Potion at this stage has long been digested and I can be promoted at any time," she said with melancholy in her tone, which was slightly different from her expression. "But I can only stay at Sequence 6 in this life because my mother allowed me to leave Demoness Sect's only requirement is this. Unlike Tress, oh, Tracy, she is a male Demoness, with good talent, and is the focus of her mother's training."
Female Witch is not allowed to be promoted? This is consistent with the Demoness Sect's consistent purpose, but what is the specific reason... Angel frowned and thought, but Lola did not wait for her to digest the news and continued:
"As for the military movements that Vincent and I were secretly investigating, it seems that they have not taken any major actions recently, and human trafficking has stopped a long time ago. It should have entered some kind of 'The End' stage, which means that something like Great Smog may happen again. If you and those behind you want to stop it, it's best as soon as possible."
She pointed at Orthodox Church...Angel behind me thoughtfully.
"Red Gloves", led by "Goddess's Sword", are looking for the ruins in Ince Zangwill's memory on the outskirts of Backlund. However, except for digging out many ancient tombs of Fourth Epoch, there has been no real harvest.
But when it comes to the military, another question arises in Angel's mind.
"Did you know that there are female Demigods in the military? The ones who hold real power, not the official Beyonders?"
She lowered her voice and asked mysteriously.
"According to Vincent's information, there are eight Demigods listed in the military, including two MI9s, but there are no women among them..."
Lola recalled for a moment and said after consideration.
But her eyes immediately lit up, and she added as if she had thought of something:
"There is a female demigod who hardly appears in public. She is a member of the royal family. She served in the army in her early years and has been retired for a long time. She is not among the military demigods."
That's why you contacted me through "Veteran Officers Club"... Angel nodded as if confirming and asked:
"Who is she?"
"Her name is Georgina Augustus, Loen Kingdom is the female noble with the largest fief area, which is what everyone usually calls Duchess Georgina."
