In the middle of the night, Angel quietly returned to his home. He did not ask the maid to help, but took a nice bath by himself to wash away the residue of various battles throughout the day and the fatigue after being promoted to Sequence.
During this time, the housekeeper and the maid were accustomed to seeing him disappear all day long, and even returning home the next morning. Angel also intentionally or unintentionally directed their secret discussion to the topic of "his Miss staying at Mr. Dantès's house."
"Anyway, our relationship is already known to everyone. Although it seems a bit too open to the Loen people, it is just right for the young women who came back from Intis..."
She muttered, put on a loose nightgown, lay on the bed, and fell asleep almost as soon as her eyes closed.
Normally, promotion will not cause extreme physical fatigue, unless the process does not go smoothly, causing the body to suffer a certain degree of damage.
But Angel also gained the abilities of Sequence 3 and "Unaging", and Potion's transformation of the body further deepened the relationship with "Angel". City of Calamity", and even more so, I have endured this "gift" from Sefirah. Even if I don't count the time I spent at Klein's house, I was already exhausted physically and mentally.
It wasn't until the window was slightly lit up and the whole mansion gradually became lively with the activities of the servants that Angel woke up from a deep sleep. He washed and changed clothes under the service of the maid, and recovered from the experienced Demoness to the Miss who had just entered the upper social circle of Backlund. After listening to the personal maid's heartfelt feelings about her beauty, after enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, she returned to her bedroom and began to examine her physical condition after promotion.
"First of all, after being promoted to 'Unaging', the divinity in my body has grown and changed. The snake hair that was originally completely uncontrollable and can only appear when it is on the verge of losing control can now be controlled freely to a certain extent. Of course, exposing Mythical Creature Form too deeply will still lead to the collapse of the body and Spirit Body...
"These snake hairs made up of hair can use the eyeballs to look directly at the target to bring about an effect similar to 'Petrification'. This can take care of my behind, even targets that are inconvenient to look at directly... Moreover, the divine runes formed on their surface can drive people without divinity into madness. Even if it is Saint, they will fall into a short-term sluggishness at first sight."
Worried about affecting the servants in the villa, Angel only tried it briefly after going deep into "Mirror World". However, even a short period of time in "Incomplete Mythical Creature Form" caused her to fall into a state of mental confusion and had to give up continuing the experiment.
"It seems that only by waiting for 'Catastrophe' Demoness to be promoted to Sequence 2 can we completely liberate this Mythical Creature Form and have an overwhelming advantage over Beyonder below Angel..."
She muttered, returned to the bedroom, and thought of another question.
"After I was promoted, I felt something was wrong. After regaining my energy, I sensed the residual Potion in my body again, and sure enough I found that it had been digested to a certain extent... about half way. This happened even before I had concluded any 'Acting Rule'. The only possibility is that one of the important concepts of 'Unaging' lies in spending a long time, and I have already done enough 'Premature Acting'...
"For the remaining half of digestion, on the one hand, we can only rely on time to continue to be Demoness as 'Unaging', using this as a symbol and feedback to digest Potion. For this point, you can refer to 'White Saint' Katarina. I previously thought that her innocent attitude was a disguise., a kind of bad taste, now that I think about it, it is probably a habit formed by long-term acting... It seems that she has become Sequence 3 at the end of Fourth Epoch. Has she not considered promotion in these more than a thousand years? Although Sequence 2's ceremony is difficult, it can be done with Demoness's ability...
"On the other hand, I'm afraid I have to look for a second way to play... 'immortality' or 'resurrection from the dead'?"
Thinking of her two resurrections from the dead in Tingen City and Backlund, the second time happened directly in front of Klein, she thought thoughtfully.
"This can be coordinated with the ceremony for Klein to be promoted to 'Scholar of Yore'. He needs to spend 300 years in isolation. At present, it seems that the only way to have hope is to enter 'Fountain of Youth' and follow the old path of Trick Sorcerer Sophia. This behavior has been proven by me to be not safe. As long as one comes' When Demoness Sect's Demoness of Despair is promoted, his existence will be discovered... Therefore, I must accompany him into that special Mirror World to guard against incoming enemies... This can be done after solving all the problems at hand now. He may also want to say goodbye to Melissa and Benson.
"In addition, it seems that 'Unaging' Demoness will face certain problems when he returns to Fountain of Youth, so that Sequence 3 and even Sequence 2 who have been successfully promoted in the sect are unwilling to station at that important node... If I want to accompany Klein there, I need to clarify this matter first and find a solution."
After remembering this important point, Angel turned to think about another question related to himself:
Honorific Name.
Originally in order to explore Calderon City and use the "Demoness" card, Angel created his own one that only he and Klein knew, named after the sea legend Angelica Zaki refers to the temporary Honorific Name, because Sequence 4 cannot sense and respond to other people's behavior of chanting Honorific Name, so she only used it once and forgot about it.
But after being promoted to "Unaging", as her connection with Mirror World deepened, she was able to listen and respond to certain prayers pointed to her to a certain extent.
Specifically, within the scope of no more than one administrative region, such as the Backlund region where the capital of Loen is located, she can sense the complete Honorific Name recited through powerful language, or the prayer through the mirror arrangement ceremony, and use Mirror World to respond.
Of course, if the response involves the use of some power, such as passing Mirror Substitution in reverse, or providing some help, then she needs to personally enter Mirror World to "process" it.
"It sounds like a large range, but if it is placed on the sea where Honorific Name of 'Golden Queen' can spread widely, it is not enough to see. Even South Mountain Island where Bayam is can only barely cover it, let alone the vast sea... Well, if the use is related to me The special contact Magic Mirror, this range should be able to be extended. If you have time, you can let Helene try it... Honorific Name cannot be spread out for the time being. If hostile forces such as Demoness Sect and Mother Tree of Desire believers know about it, there may be disadvantages..."
She muttered a few words, "Queen Feared by Pirates, Master of the Spirit World Boat, Nightmare of Thousands of Ships, Incarnation of Pain and Despair, Golden Angelica Zaki" echoed in her mind. Honorific Name, who seemed a little ashamed now, didn't know whether he should tell his Minor Arcana Brand about this, "Queen of Wands" Helene.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Angel started planning what to do next.
First of all, after being promoted, she had to go to Saint Samuel Cathedral and inform Archbishop Anthony Stevenson. This was her attitude as "Goddess Shadow" and also her gratitude to them for providing Beyonder Characteristic.
Anne has not been in contact for a while. The mark she used on her palm needs to be replenished. After promotion, she can also respond to "King of the Five Seas" Nast to "Golden Queen "Invitation, try to find the mysterious "Ghost Empire" - provided that Anne agrees, otherwise "Golden Queen" will immediately become the polished commander, and his paper strength will fall to the bottom among Five Kings.
Secondly, two of the three major things she and Klein returned to Backlund from the sea have been completed. The Potion formula to help the other party find "Trick Sorcerer" has been completed. The clues to find Ince Zangwill have also been solved. The only thing left is to pursue the truth of Great Smog.
She now has three clues: Qonas Kilgor is directly involved in the chain of human trafficking, Klein is approaching him as "Dwayne Dantès"; Hvin Rambis According to Arrodes, the traces involved in the kidnapping of the girl by Capim have been erased, and Angel is now promoted to "Unaging" Finally, she was also preparing to operate on him, and her only worry was to alert him; finally, it was Duchess Georgina who recently took the initiative to contact her. The latter seemed to belong to another faction in the royal family, Angel It is speculated that the other party will try to contact "Golden Queen" through "Christine Teresa" in the short term. This may be an opportunity to find out the identity of the force behind Great Smog.
In addition, "Demoness Sect" and "Aurora Order" are also evidenced to have participated in the Great Smog incident. The former sent "White Saint" after Panacea's death, but her ambiguous attitude made Angel unsure of the other party's true thoughts; Backlund has been temporarily removed from the group, but with the style of this radical organization, a new Oracle should be sent soon to rebuild the underground forces. Angel is also preparing to ask Shermane to pay attention to them in East Borough, the most chaotic area.
Finally, there is the promotion status of her two "Minor Arcana".
Helene has finished digesting the "conspirator" Potion. She is going to find an opportunity to search for clues about "Vice Admiral of Ailment" Tracy at sea, so that Helene can catch this real person through conspiracy. "Affliction" Demoness, whose strength was greatly reduced and barely appeared again, while completing the promotion ceremony to "Reaper", forced out "White Saint" Katarina who did not know where he was.
And Shermane...
Thinking of this "Empress of Pentacles" who was about to be promoted to "Pleasure" and would use his body as a bait to complete Trissy's mission, Angel hesitated a little.
"Perhaps, I can have a chat with Trissy... With our current strength, we can forcefully kidnap Viscount Stratford, torture or Spirit Channeling to get the required information, without sacrificing Shermane... Of course, like Hvin Rambis, there needs to be an appropriate time to avoid disturbing those behind him."
The face of "Witch" who got rid of East Borough's poor status through his own efforts and even helped people around him live a better life appeared in his mind, and Angel sighed softly.
