After the transaction and commission were completed, Tarot Club came to another fixed link: information exchange.

Angel shared his experience of going to "Fountain of Youth", hiding the situation of "Red Haired Woman" and the details of killing Trick Sorcerer Sophia, focusing on describing the process of entering there using the frozen sea as a mirror, and Mirror World, which is large enough to fit the entire island and surrounding sea areas.

She is not worried about leaking the secret of "Fountain of Youth". First, the location is far away from the normal waterway and surrounded by fog. It has some kind of Anti-Divination measures that even Arrodes cannot see through. She also needs to be able to control " Mirror World" Demoness of Despair serves as the key. You have to find the right time to flip reality and the mirror in order to enter that special Mirror World. Various conditions make it almost impossible for those who have not obtained detailed information to gain anything.

Of course, she did not disclose the ceremony of "Scholar of Yore" so as not to affect Klein's subsequent promotion. She only described Sophia as a caretaker who had an agreement with "Demoness Sect".

But even so, the experience of fighting "Trick Sorcerer" with "Black Knight", "Despair" Demoness and "Winner" Marionette also made everyone begin to re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of "Empress".

"So, the legend of 'Fountain of Youth' is true?" Audrey next to Angel had a different focus than others and asked doubtfully, "So, what about the other maritime legends? 'Ghost Empire', 'Laurel', 'Newins', 'Solomon's Inheritance', and 'Key of Death', are they true?"

No one has found them for hundreds or thousands of years, and this noble girl is too naive... "Moon" Emlyn opposite her subconsciously laughed in her mind, but then she realized: Since "Fountain of Youth" has appeared, maybe the other treasures are the same?

Without waiting for Angel to reply, "The World" Klein at the end of the long table chuckled in a hoarse voice and said:

"'Key of Death' is indeed real, but it has no meaning now... the treasure inside it has been assigned a home."

And it belongs to a True God...Angel added in his mind, watching the others fall into a state of shock more or less, and even their eyes wandered, obviously recalling the clues of other legendary treasures, eager to join the team to explore them.

Of course, except Mr. "Sun" who has never even seen the sea.

After everyone wandered around "Laurel"'s treasure worth millions of pounds and "Ghost Empire"'s city-like Ghost Ship for a moment, "Hanged Man" frowned, looked at Angel cautiously, and asked:

"Is 'Fountain of Youth' related to the Sequence name 'Unaging'? Does this really mean that it will not age?"

The others also quickly calmed down their expressions and looked at Angel, expecting her, the only "Sequence 3" of Tarot Club, to give a reply so that they could understand a little bit of the power at this level.

"Compared to other Pathway, Demoness's Sequence 3 does have a big advantage in age. If nothing else happens, there is no problem in living for a thousand years..." Angel hesitated for a moment, but still answered, "Moreover, 'Unaging' Demoness can be resurrected after death, no limit to the number of times."

Compared with the "longevity" that Sequence will inevitably gain as it grows, being able to be resurrected is what completely stunned other Tarot Club members.

But compared to others, Leonard has different thoughts.

"I knew it, I knew it. She must have used the power of 'Unaging' to come back to life. I even helped her carry the coffin. Klein's sister almost fainted from crying... By the way, she also received the church's pension!"

His eyes widened and he roared in his heart. He wished he could leave the country of Mr. "Fool" surrounded by crimson light, return to reality, wake up Old Man, and discuss who was right and who was wrong.

Of course, even Audrey, who is Spectator, could not see the rich inner drama of Leonard, let alone Angel, who had his own intentions. The latter waited for a moment and continued after everyone digested the matter:

"In addition, 'Unaging' can release diseases in a much wider range than 'Despair', covering almost an entire metropolis and surrounding areas. If you encounter them, flee away immediately and notify Orthodox Church. Do not try to find 'Plague Source'."

She revealed how scary she is as Sequence, just to remind other Tarot Club members of the dangers of "Unaging" Demoness. After all, except for herself, there are at least thirteen "Unaging" or "Catastrophe" Demoness among "Demoness Sect", any one of which can create a great plague that destroys the city at any time.

"Is it the same as 'Backlund Great Smog'?"

"Magician" Fors, who had been watching others speak and almost made Angel think she was asleep, suddenly asked.

"It's much more serious than that. Perhaps it can only be compared to the great plague that spread throughout Loen more than ten years ago and killed nearly a million people... That plague is very likely to be Calamity caused by a certain Demoness."

Angel immediately replied, leaving Fors, Audrey, Xiu and other resident Backlund members stunned.

At their age, they all experienced the plague that swept across the country and even affected neighboring countries when they were children. Whether they were poor East Borough or West Borough and Empress Borough where nobles lived, they could see dead bodies on the roadside every day. It is said that dozens of people in many surrounding villages died overnight, and it was not discovered until half a month later that rats had become infested...

Angel himself also has some memories inherited from Cole Granger. His and Lily Granger's mother died of the plague. Cole also suffered some sequelae due to the disease. It was not until he took "Assassin" Potion that his body was transformed and he got better.

This made her mind involuntarily think of what was recorded on the "Demoness" card, about the ceremony to promote Sequence 2 to "Catastrophe" Demoness:

Catastrophe, which creates "Complete Area" that affects an entire concept, can be Calamity, or a disaster, and subdue Potion when it reaches its peak. The more people it affects, the more mainstream it becomes in this area, the better the effect.

If Angel's guess is true, and the plague more than ten years ago was indeed caused by a certain "Unaging" Demoness when he was promoted, then the concept of "Complete Area" must at least be similar to Backlund area or Awwa County, East Chester County is as wide as Backlund, and in order to ensure the success rate, that Demoness may have allowed the plague to spread across the country so that he can be promoted in the best condition.

That's millions of people... Thinking of this, Angel felt a little chilled. On the one hand, it was because of those Demoness's disregard for human life, and on the other hand, he might also have to face such a choice:

Do you want to step on the bones of countless innocent people and embark on the road to become Angel?

As she fell silent, everyone fell silent, silently digesting the information they had just received, digging into the history in their minds, trying to discern whether the several major plagues of Fifth Epoch had the shadow of "Demoness Sect" behind them.

It wasn't until "Judgment" Miss, who hardly spoke in the meeting, coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention to her, that she tried to straighten up, exposed half of her body from the edge of the long bronze table, and said:

"I have received some information that 'Aurora Order' who participated in Great Smog and was expelled from Backlund recently has plans to return to this city. If you have relevant clues, you can provide them to me and I will, um, reward you as appropriate."

At the end, Xio Derecha, who was cash-strapped because she was saving money to exchange for the characteristics of "Judge", sounded lower and lower, making "Magician" Fors beside her couldn't help but look away.

Fortunately, no one noticed, or they noticed and didn't care about her change of tone, but started a discussion about "Aurora Order", especially Angel. She had killed two Aurora Order Oracle in succession. E, and there is another "Rose Necklace" formed by Beyonder Characteristic suspected to be Aurora Order Saint. Naturally, I am very concerned about the trends of this evil sect.

Unfortunately, there is a lack of other information, and everyone has been discussing for a long time with no results. Angel actually knows "Hermit" Cattleya knows "" Ms. D", it's a pity that the beautiful but impulsive Oracle has become Mystical Item of Angel. She didn't even dare to say that she was "very familiar" with the other person.

"Compared to the elusive 'Aurora Order', I have some definite news here." After the discussion came to an end again, "Hanged Man" chuckled and said, "Feysac Empire's The fleet went south via Sonia Island and headed to Gargas Archipelago. They don't have many ships, but they are all elite troops. I suspect that Beyonder from God of War Church is among them."

"Counterinsurgency."

"Hermit" Cattleya, who also collected similar information, took over and said in a positive tone.

Angel immediately thought of the destination where he sold arms, the "White City" Nass made of white rocks, the capital of Gargas Archipelago and one of the main colonies of Feysac.

It seems that the local resistance forces who have obtained the arms have already begun to take action... Selling weapons to them may cause greater casualties, but if the resistance is successful, even if they make some achievements, the lives of the colonized people will be improved to a certain extent. Unfortunately, they are not like the aborigines of the Rhoside Islands, who believe in "Sea God" and are actually paid attention to by Mr. "Fool". They do not understand the strategy of conserving strength and slowly developing...

Angel thought about it, joining in a few words from time to time in the conversation between the two sea members, and waited until the end of the party.

As the crimson light receded, Leonard Mitchell reappeared in his living room, half-lying on a soft and comfortable sofa.

He jumped up suddenly, looked around, and said in a low voice and quickly with a tone that could not hide his excitement:

"Old Man, Old Man!"

"Did you get any important information again?"

The old voice immediately appeared in his ears.

"It's very important." Leonard raised the corners of his mouth and stood up a little straighter. "You always thought that my colleague, Angel Granger, could not have been High Sequence Beyonder before joining Nighthawks... But today she admitted it!"

"She is 'Unaging' Demoness!"
