On Saturday night, Angel climbed out of the balcony of her bedroom at the agreed time, and landed gently outside the main entrance of the garden of her villa like a feather falling in the wind, waiting for the midnight carriage to pick her up.
In order to attend the appointment, she had made all preparations. Not only did she pray to Mr. "Fool" to obtain his Angel's Embrace to prevent Hypnosis, suggestion or Dream Invasion and other interrogation techniques, but she also brought almost all the Mystical Item and Charm with her.
It had been three months since she was promoted to Sequence 4, and she had already begun to feel that the Mystical Item on her body was no longer enough to support the Demigod level battle, both in terms of quality and quantity.
This problem was fully exposed in the battle with Sirio, the "Red Angel" evil spirit, and the clone of Amon.
In these battles, except for "Wings of Death" and "Reaper Legion", both of the Demigod level, also known as the "1" level Sealed Artifact, and the "Parasite" gloves, her Rose Necklace and hypocrisy Ring had little effect.
If she hadn't harvested her new weapon yesterday, "Angelica's Edge", she would hardly have any Mystical Item directly used for offense.
Of course, for a Demigod who has just been promoted, having four pieces of Sealed Artifact equivalent to the "1" level is already considered a luxurious configuration, but what Angel is about to face may be a Demigod who has possessed divinity decades ago, has military support behind him, and is a royal noble. The accumulation of the two parties is not at the same level at all.
No matter in terms of connections or equipment, I am definitely far inferior to her... Although the royal family has never shown its strength in the extraordinary field, a Fourth Epoch Solomon dynasty existed during the dynasty, and the family lasted for two thousand years. There have been many Angels, and it is completely normal to own several "0" level Sealed Artifacts. And I, last week, was still worried about the maintenance cost of Iris Flower Winery, and I also spent more than a quarter of my working capital to make a suitable equipment...
Angel murmured, hiding himself and waiting at the door. Soon he found a four-wheeled carriage painted in black without any markings slowly approaching. It stopped some distance away from the door of his house and headed towards his village. The car door on the park side opened silently, and a tall brown-haired man wearing a Golden Mask and a tuxedo got out of the car and stood beside the car. The driver wearing a top hat sat quietly in the driver's seat without tilting his head.
It's really a mysterious and grand scene, and Golden Mask is the military, is it the standard configuration for "MI9" field personnel? It felt like she had seen it many times on different occasions... She lifted her "invisibility", walked over, and was immediately spotted by Golden Mask.
"Are you...Christine Teresa Miss?"
The openings for his eyes above the mask reveal vision that is not affected by the darkness. The sound comes from inside the mask, making it sound like a jar, but you can also hear that the original voice is quite magnetic and makes people feel good.
Angel nodded and asked tentatively:
"Where are we going today?"
"Empress Borough, you will know the specific location later."
The man, who behaved like an attendant, politely declined Angel's question and made a "please" gesture toward the carriage.
I can have a military Beyonder come out to pick me up like a servant. It seems that the identity of the other person is only what Lola said... Angel stopped procrastinating, stretched out his hand to the man, got on the carriage with the help of the other person, and sat in the right rear position.
After waiting for the other party to get on the bus, close the door, and sit across from Angel, the carriage began to drive silently, leaving Burningham Road, leaving Hillston Borough, along King's Avenue, which was wide but became silent and empty at night, and entered Backlund's traditional "noble district", Empress Borough.
"You can tell me now who I'm going to see, right?" Angel looked away from the luxurious villas and beautiful manors outside the window, and looked at Golden Mask opposite, "Don't worry, I won't run away, and you know my identity, where can I run away to?"
She used a little Charm and Instigation in her words, but it did not exceed her actual ability of Sequence and "Pleasure" on the surface.
Sure enough, Beyonder, who was wearing a tuxedo, just chuckled and replied:
"Sorry, Miss Theresa, you will know when we get to the destination."
It seems that it is at least Beyonder who is Sequence 6, maybe Sequence 5. Considering the bias of Beyonder Pathway within the military, " The possibility of "Arbiter" or "Lawyer" is very high... Angel gave up the test, closed his eyes and fell asleep, feeling the other party's eyes secretly looking at him, lingering on his face, chest and other places.
Heh, he doesn't look so determined. If he wasn't worried about the Demigod behind him...
While thinking, the carriage turned a few corners and stopped when Angel guessed based on the map in his mind that they were about to leave the city.
After getting off the car, Angel found that he had indeed arrived in the suburbs of Empress Borough, in front of a vast manor. The unique six-sided spire of the castle-like villa inside was vaguely visible. The sound of the breeze blowing the flowers and grass and the sound of the water from the huge fountain came from the darkness, adding a touch of vitality to the secluded street.
Not far away, you can see the highest area of Backlund and the towering clock tower of the Sodela Palace where Loen Royal Family is located. At this time, the stubby hour hand on the bell tower is pointing to the sky.
Midnight has arrived.
Entering this castle, which seemed to have a history of hundreds of years and whose design style was in the previous era, Angel was led to a place Reception Room by a maid wearing black and white and embellished with lace.
Even at midnight, there was still warm black tea, coffee and milk, and exquisite snacks at the right temperature were placed. After the maid poured her the fragrant black tea, she retreated outside, leaving Angel surrounded by snacks.
I don't know if they serve these all day long, or if they prepare them in advance because I am coming. If it is the former, it is too luxurious... Angel murmured, looking at the tempting snacks, and with a hint of vigilance in his heart, he did not eat them. He just took a sip of tea and waited quietly.
She did not try to use the control of the mirror to explore the building to avoid being spotted by the mysterious military Demigod, even though the probability of this was not high.
After all, not even Hvin Rambis noticed my secret prying. Logically speaking, unless Beyonder, who is the same as Sequence, enters a combat state, it would be difficult to detect the peeping of a Demoness. After all, simple observation does not involve safety., it is difficult for Spirituality to have a strong premonition... But Angel of "Arbiter" Pathway can easily detect "abnormal" things around him. Perhaps Saint has similar abilities...
After giving up the test, Angel's expression was indifferent, and his eyes kept wandering inside the ancient style but luxuriously decorated Reception Room, observing the furnishings here, mentally comparing it with his own Iris Flower Winery villa, and regretfully found that if this style of decoration was adopted, the more than 20,000 pounds in his pocket might not be enough.
It seems that Audrey's suggestion is still conservative. Compared with the daughter of Earl who has no inheritance rights, Duke's financial resources are still too much... She reluctantly turned her eyes from a picture. Moving up the oil painting depicting "White Rose War", according to her recent knowledge, this hanging painting by a famous artist is worth at least 2,000 pounds, which is worth all the decorations in the villa where Angel currently lives.
At this moment, the door was opened from the outside, and a tall lady entered Reception Room surrounded by two maids.
Before her eyes moved over there, Angel could feel an obvious momentum. Based on her past experience, she could tell that it was the majesty and oppression of "Arbiter", but this Pathway's Demigod should be able to hide her power very well, so the other party must have discovered the fact that she is Beyonder, and then chose to directly reveal her power.
Thinking like this, Angel's eyes stayed on this lady who was wearing an evening dress, as if she had just left a banquet and rushed here right after.
She has a round face, long and narrow eyes, long black hair tied neatly behind her head, and her blue eyes look at Angel with a hint of exploration. Her white neck has a charming curve, and her black evening dress closely outlines her tall and slender body. It forms wisps of exquisite design down her hips, which can cover her legs, but from time to time she reveals a little bit of bright tassels.
Sure enough, it was Georgina Augustus, the Duchess who had not shown up for twenty years and was said to be over fifty years old... The last stone in Angel's heart fell to the ground, and he took the initiative to stand up from the sofa and bowed solemnly.
Whether it was out of respect for Demigod's identity or admiration for his title, Angel had to "bow down" at this time.
This lady who looked not even thirty years old turned away from the maid, approached Angel amidst the sound of the door being locked, smiled kindly, and said:
"Are you Christine Teresa?"
It seemed that she was just asking a polite question without expecting an answer. She sat on the other sofa opposite before Angel could speak. She raised her right leg and put it on her left leg. The tassels of her dress spread out, revealing her delicate skin and well-maintained calves.
"Yes, ma'am."
Angel also sat back on his sofa, not knowing how to speak.
She originally thought that the meeting between the two would be more formal, or even a business-like conversation, but the other party revealed a life-like and very casual atmosphere, which made her uncomfortable.
"Judging from your performance just now, you should have recognized me, so I won't introduce myself too much..."
Georgina Augustus leaned on the sofa cushions and assumed a comfortable posture. His narrow but family-like eyes stared at Angel, and the sense of majesty and oppression reappeared.
"But you still have to introduce yourself, Demoness Miss."
This Duchess chuckled and added.
