Duchess Georgina...
Angel dug in his mind for a while before he found the information he had seen when he was forced to learn Noble Etiquette by Sevillea Landon, his stingy boss. He recalled a photo of a good-looking but slightly serious female face.
Of course, that was the image left by Duchess when Last Time appeared in public more than 20 years ago. She should be much older now. After all, in terms of age, she is about the same age as the reigning King George III, and she is already entering the ranks of the elderly.
Strictly speaking, she is not a member of the military, but a member of the royal family... What does such a noble at the top of the kingdom want to do with me? No, we can't be sure that it is her. Maybe there is a female Demigod in the army that neither Lola nor Vincent knows about...
With thoughts in his mind, Angel took another sip of coffee, washed away the rising doubts with the bitter drink with the aroma of oil, looked at Lola and continued to ask:
"Where is Demoness Sect? They seem to have disappeared in this city. Aren't 'White Saint' Katarina ready to rebuild their branch in Backlund?"
Angel came to this conclusion because of the conversation with "Manipulator" Hvin Rambis. The latter is Royal Advisor and is also a committee member of "Psychology Alchemists". When the royal family works closely, they will inevitably come into contact with members of "Demoness Sect". From his attitude, it can be seen that "Demoness Sect" has not carried out activities in Backlund at all recently, and there are not even a few people left.
"My mother has never come to see me, and there are few replies to the letters she left Magic Mirror." Lola's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, making her blue eyes shine brighter, "This gave me a A guess... Do you remember that I once said that the conspirators behind 'Demoness Sect' and Great Smog had a transaction involving an item that was extremely important to the sect? I think that item has been delivered to the sect."
That's what Demoness Sect wants to gain even at the expense of the entire Backlund branch and let "Lady Despair" manufacture Deadly smog to cover up human trafficking... Based on the value, it is likely to be a "0" level Sealed Artifact, or a Beyonder Characteristic of equal value... could it be a characteristic left over from a Angel?
And "White Saint" Katarina has recently received his reward, so he stopped his actions in Backlund. He may have even left the city and returned to the headquarters of the Demoness Sect?
But as Katarina's daughter, Lola, who has been in contact with her recently, would actually speak out about this incident. Is there some deep meaning in it? For example, Katarina deliberately revealed it, or Lola is secretly still opposing his mother's behavior...
Angel's thoughts raced and he quickly formed several possible directions, but since he could not verify them further, he had to suppress them in his heart.
"By the way, there is one more thing." Seeing that Angel fell into a sluggish state, Lola chuckled somewhat proudly and continued, "According to mother's guess, there is some kind of disagreement within the royal family that has only recently emerged. She didn't say clearly which thing it was about, but I guess it is a follow-up incident of 'Great Smog', such as the one that may have happened recently."
Again, the information from Katarina was relayed. It seems that this "White Saint" did show obvious bias. Including the information that "Demoness Sect has obtained that important item" is a gift, representing her "investment"...
Only then did Angel realize something, and the way he looked at Lola also changed slightly, making the "Pleasure" Demoness stunned for a moment, and even looked away unnaturally.
After the battle with Amon's clone, Angel became idle again. She reduced the number of appearances in social situations as planned, paving the way for the "Fountain of Youth" trip that may last for half a month. At the same time, she was waiting for the call from "East Balam Veteran Officers Club". As expected, she received a message from Sander two days later, asking her to wait for a special carriage in front of her house at midnight on Saturday to meet the "military woman Demigod".
After learning that the other party was likely to be a member of the royal family, Angel naturally felt a little different from the previous nervousness. After all, she and Klein had been investigating the faction of the royal family involved in the Great Smog incident, and according to the investigated information, they had a very close relationship with the military.
So, it is questionable whether the invitation from Demigod, a member of the royal family and a former soldier, was malicious.
Fortunately, Angel spent a full 8,000 pounds to hand over Mystical Item made by "Iron-Blooded Knight" Beyonder Characteristic on Friday. It was completed in the evening, and came to Angel from the hands of "Hermit" Cattleya through the "express delivery" of Mr. Fool.
After finishing the ceremony of accepting the "gift", she immediately looked at the altar. A long sword about one meter long, with a broad blade, an iron-black appearance, engraved with countless complex runes, and a deep red firelight flowing inside came into view.
Just by looking at it from a distance, Angel felt that the sword exuded a real killing aura, as if a sharp cone had been pierced into the eyes, making it difficult for people to look directly at it for a long time.
Even Sequence 4 can't stare at it for a long time. I'm afraid Mid Sequence will be like the incomplete Mythical Creature. All kinds of out-of-control behaviors will appear when the sight is swept... This time Artisan is different from Sharff. The latter prefers to make Making bracelets, necklaces, rings and other low-key jewelry, the items made by this "alchemist" Demigod Artisan do not conceal the power inside at all... Could it be that he has inspired the provocative power inside "Iron-Blooded Knight" to make the holder the center of attention anywhere?
Angel simply closed his eyes and recalled in his mind the information about this weapon included in the sacrifice of "Hermit" Cattleya:
"This one-handed long sword is made from Beyonder Characteristic of "Iron-Blooded Knight" through the "alchemist" of Sequence 4.
"Its sturdiness and sharpness are equivalent to those of the Beyonder Weapon of the same level. It has a crushing advantage over weapons made with the characteristics of Low Sequence. Even when faced with attacks at the Demigod level, it can be blocked directly without being damaged.
"Injecting a small amount of Spirituality can bring extremely high temperatures to the sword's edge, which is enough to allow the long sword to penetrate all physical defenses, cut off most weapons in contact with it, and suppress the defense capabilities of many Demigod, causing fatal damage to them. Its high temperature has mystical 'destructive' properties and can damage most Spirit World Creature, evil spirits take effect, or ignite the enemy's fragile soul. A long sword that enters this state will actively burn other weapons within a radius of 100 meters, whether it is a firearm or a sword. An ordinary revolver will be heated to the point of being unusable within a few seconds, and even ignite the bullets in the bomb nest. Even the '2' level Sealed Artifact will be destroyed after a minute.
"Consume enough Spirituality, and the tip of the sword can emit a high-temperature flame stream that is hundreds of meters long. It has properties similar to those of a long sword. It can cut almost all objects when slashing and kill most Spirit Body. The duration is related to the user's Spirituality.
"It can be thrown after being ignited and fly back to the user's hand according to the user's will, provided that he can catch the weapon correctly, otherwise he may be penetrated by it and become one of the victims of the sword.
"When holding a long sword, the user can create a mystical 'connection' with the target recognized as his 'companion', and can gather their power to make the attack have a stronger effect, and even activate abilities similar to 'Harvest', and the damage he suffers can also be shared with his companions, at a ratio of about half."
Compared with the ability to be extremely aggressive, there are two negative effects that are hard to ignore:
"Starting by holding the hilt of the sword, the user will fall into a 'burning' state, the blood will gradually boil, and the sanity will be quickly consumed. If you don't drop the weapon and stop using it, in up to three minutes, a Demigod's body will be ignited and become its nourishment.
"Once the user becomes too weak to continue fighting, the weapon will betray him, making the 'burning' effect even more intense. It may cut off his arm when it flies back into his hand, or it may cause him to kill himself in a rage that goes straight to his brain."
Sure enough, after special Artisan treatment, this weapon has the "connection" effect of the "Iron-Blooded Knight" characteristic, which allows "Reaper Legion" to continue to play a role in my hand, while other abilities are related to flames. This is "Hunter The essence of "" Pathway, that flame stream is also very similar to the one used by "Red Angel" evil spirits to sneak attack me. The penetrating power is amazing. Even Demigod can be hit hard by surprise, provided that they don't have the ability to stand in or something like that...
Compared with the powerful effects, the negative effects of burning oneself are easy to avoid. For example, after using it briefly, throw it into Mirror World, wait for the body to cool down before continuing to use it. "Betrayal" can also be dealt with in the same way... This may be the "Alchemy" The embodiment of the ability of "Swordsman", he inspired many practical abilities, but only gave the long sword equivalent to "1" level Sealed Artifact with two negative effects, which only appeared when used. When stored alone, it was no different from an ordinary long sword.
Angel even has some doubts as to whether the Sequence 4 Artisan mentioned by "Hermit" is really only Sequence 4...
Isn't it Saint of "Church of Steam" who is making extra money?
Moreover, why does the long sword have similar negative effects to "Reaper Legion"? Is it because the original owner of Beyonder Characteristic, Sirio Sauron, died of betrayal, so it has this effect?
But where does "Reaper Legion"'s tendency to betray easily come from?
Angel thought about it and reached out to touch the long sword. The palm of his hand made contact with the hilt, which was completely undecorated and had the same material as the sword body. He instantly felt that the blood in his body began to boil, and even his breathing was tinged with heat.
Don't say three minutes, I'm afraid my body will be affected in one minute... It can be countered by "Rose Necklace"'s ability to repair the body, but there is a gap between the two, so the effect should not be big... She assessed the status of the weapon and did not try to ignite the sword. This would cause the weapons used by the guards in her villa, Male Servant, and the housekeeper to protect the garden to be destroyed.
"Just call you 'Angelica's Edge'. She can't have any other weapons except you..."
Angel said in a low voice with a smile on his face, enjoying the negative effect of his body gradually becoming hot.
