"Bell Clement praised you so much in the telegram."
As soon as Angel sat down, Dunn shook the telegraph newspaper in his hand and said.
"Oh, how did he praise it?"
Angel was indeed a little curious about other people's evaluations of him, so he asked curiously.
"Uh-huh," cleared his throat, Dunn picked up the telegram and read, "He said that during the battle to attack the Port District cargo warehouse, you helped your teammates get out of a situation that was about to get out of control, and you made a mistake in the 'Rose Bishop' battle against Sequence 6 With outstanding contribution, he successfully defeated Aurora Order's 'Mr. C' and almost killed him. Then, he was attacked by another 'Machinery Hivemind' defector carrying Mystical Item, and successfully counterattacked and killed him... Well, how come he was almost killed again?"
"Because both of them ran away in the end..."
Angel was also very ashamed. She was sure that she had stabbed Tomaz, the traitor of "Machinery Hivemind", to death, but in the blink of an eye the other party's body disappeared into the cellar, which made her battle testimony somewhat Persuasion weak.
As for the tenacious "Mr. C", judging from his various weird Flesh Magic, escaping from near death is not that surprising.
After concealing some information about the Mystical Item and "Bloodthirst" he held, Angel told Dunn Smith the process of how Enmat Harbor assembled the Nighthawks of each team and launched the action before Backlund Team was in place. The latter listened carefully and wrote something in his notebook from time to time. This seemed to be his efforts to fight against memory loss.
"2-031'Hand of Declaration'... I have seen this Sealed Artifact, it was killed by a Mid Sequence Beyonder of 'Arbiter' Pathway The Beyonder Item that appears is produced by combining it with a leather glove. As long as you understand the opponent's ability and use this Sealed Artifact appropriately, its power is second only to the 'Saint Relic' that protects Chanis Gate."
Due to the need to conceal the fact that he was carrying Mystical Item, Angel pushed all the damage and restrictions on Mr. C to Sealed Artifact "2-031" in the battle. He thought Dunn would be suspicious, but he did not expect that he would also sigh at the power of "Hand of Declaration".
"Saint Relic... is that also a Sealed Artifact?"
"It does not refer to a specific Sealed Artifact, but every Church of Evernight church and all 'Chanis Gate' have protective measures to suppress other Sealed Artifact. The church of Tingen City is called 'Saint Selena Cathedral', which is named after a saint during the establishment of Church of the Evernight Goddess. After the death of this saint who was active in Third Epoch, his ashes were buried in the 'Chanis Gate' below the church."
"Similarly, part of the remains of Saint George are buried under Enmat Harbor's Saint George Church. They are both called 'Saint Relic'."
Saint... According to church records, only Beyonder of Sequence 4 or Sequence 3 will be called "Saint", and those above are " Grounded Angel"... Could it be that after the death of Beyonder of High Sequence, in addition to precipitating Beyonder Characteristic, even part of their remains will become powerful Mystical Item?
"Then what powers do these 'Saint Relic', such as Saint Selena's Ashes, have?"
She finally couldn't hold back and asked this question.
Dunn smiled lightly, which made the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes more obvious. It was obvious that Nighthawks was only over thirty years old.
"Without power, they simply represent the glory of the saints who have made great contributions to Goddess and the church."
I won't believe it...
Angel guessed that Dunn might have used such an obvious Lies for confidentiality reasons, but for the same reason, she could not continue to ask, so she had to keep this information secretly in her heart and give up.
"By the way, in addition to the telegram from Clement, Enmat Harbor's 'Machinery Hivemind' also sent a letter of thanks." Dunn patted his head and seemed to have just remembered this matter. He found another telegraph newspaper from the drawer and handed it to Angel.
She took the telegram and read it carefully.
"... Thank you Nighthawks Angel Granger Miss for lending a helping hand in time when Ms. Kavi was attacked, and for severely injuring the defector Tomaz in the subsequent battle. If you have any follow-up information about Tomaz, please report it in time... Hmm, why can't I see too much gratitude? It seems that we are still blaming us for not telling them in time for other information?"
"Their style has always been like this. 'Mandated Punishers' is actually even more excessive. Some thank-you letters are written like letters. Of course, don't get me wrong. They are really thanking you."
After criticizing the official Beyonders of Church of the Lord of Storms and Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, the two finally brought the topic back on track.
"When you became an official member of Nighthawks last week, I originally said that you needed to complete a commission alone as a 'trial' for joining Nighthawks, in order to gain recognition from other members."
"Yes, I still remember."
Angel nodded and replied that she didn't know why Dunn mentioned this matter at this time.
"You completed your mission Enmat Harbor perfectly this time. You saved more than a hundred people who were deceived and kidnapped. You defeated Sequence 6's Beyonder. You survived to the end. There are no parts missing from your body, and there are no hidden risks of contamination or loss of control..."
Dunn paused for a moment after saying this.
Angel also thought that because he had put on "Hand of Declaration" in advance in the cellar, he recklessly opened Spirit Vision and looked directly at Rupert Norman, the statue of True Creator.
Fortunately, he did not leave any sequelae in the end...
"... In short, I think your performance in this mission no longer requires you to prove yourself through other commissions."
"So?"
Angel already guessed what Dunn was going to say, but still asked cooperatively.
"So you will also attend tonight's dinner party."
"Is there a dinner party tonight?"
"Don't you know?" Dunn was stunned now. He rubbed the corners of his eyes, "Klein didn't tell you? He solved a commission on his own yesterday morning and helped DeVille get rid of the resentment of the workers who died of illness. He has completed the 'trial' before you. Tonight's dinner is to celebrate him."
Well, there was such a fuss just now due to the negative effects of "Magician Pocket Watch". Maybe Klein forgot to mention it?
"Anyway, at six o'clock in the evening, Old Verne's Restaurant, don't miss the delicious food."
Dunn said with a smile, and then his face suddenly darkened as if he thought of something else.
"It's a pity that Daly can't come to participate. Originally, she heard about this and planned to come from Enmat Harbor to congratulate you and Klein. But she received a short notice and was transferred to Backlund Diocese."
Captain, are you sure that Ms. Daly came to Tingen because of me and Klein?
But...
"Transferred to Backlund? I just came back from Enmat Harbor and I didn't hear about it."
Angel began to doubt his memory again. Could it be that the memory loss symptoms of "Nightmare" would be transmitted to the people around him, or that his the Lost Day memory had not completely returned to his mind?
"I also found out through the telegram that when Clement reported the battle on Saturday night to Holy Cathedral, Daly made another special application. She seemed to have discovered during the battle that she had completely mastered Potion of 'Spirit Medium' and planned to be promoted to Sequence 6 in the near future."
Sequence 6...Angel The first thing that comes to mind is Madam Sharon who dared to break into Nighthawks's residence alone, and then there is "Rose Bishop" Mr. C who was burned to a puddle of flesh and still escaped.
Daly Simone, Beyonder, who is only in his early 20s, will he enter the same realm as these people?
"You should know that the internal regulations of Nighthawks are that after taking each stage of Potion, you must wait for three years and then undergo strict inspection to ensure that it does not get out of control before you can apply for the next stage of Potion."
"For someone with average talent like me, three years is often not enough. It took me three years to go from 'Sleepless' to 'Midnight Poet', and it took a full nine years to be promoted to 'Nightmare'. Now three more years have passed. I don't know how many more years it will take before I can master this Sequence's Potion and try to get promoted."
Having said this, Dunn looked a little bitter. He rubbed his fingers, leaned back, and changed his legs before continuing.
"Daly is different from me, or from most Beyonder, and seems to have a unique talent for mastering and exploring Potion. She became ' Just one year after Corpse Collector', I submitted a special application, passed the strict examination, and took the next stage of Potion in advance, becoming Sequence 8's 'Gravedigger'."
"And it only took her one year to go from Sequence 8 to Sequence 7's 'Spirit Medium'. She is only 24 years old this year, and it has been exactly five years since she became Beyonder. Holy Cathedral should have judged that she still had enough opportunities and transferred her to the most important parish."
He was promoted from Sequence 9 to Sequence 7 in two years, which is very similar to Cole Granger. Could it be that Daly also summarized Acting Method that quickly digested Potion?
Angel Thinking of "Spirit Medium" Daly who wears eye shadow and dresses mysteriously, he somewhat understands the secret of her rapid promotion.
"Since Daly has the secret to quickly master Potion, why don't you ask her?"
"Of course I asked, and she asked me to be 'Nightmare', the real 'Nightmare'..."
Dunn's eyes under the light brown bangs were a little confused. He had obviously been confused by this answer for a long time and could not find a real way to interpret it.
Become "Nightmare"...
Hearing this tip, Angel felt at ease. Daly must have mastered "Acting Method" or similar experience summary, but it is very possible and swore not to leak it. Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics's Kavi also needs to abide by a similar oath, so I can only make some insinuations and try to give some guidance to Dunn, who has stayed at Sequence 7 for a full nine years.
But why does the church block this knowledge? This is true for Nighthawks, and so is Machinery Hivemind. They make every Beyonder who knows the secret knowledge swear not to reveal the secret (although Kavi proves that this oath is not absolutely effective), even if this will reduce the success rate of Beyonder's safe and rapid promotion.
If Law of Conservation of Extraordinary Characteristics may cause infighting among the official Beyonder, and it is understandable to conceal the bottom layer, why should "Acting Method" a rule that has been proven to be effective...
Wait, I knew "Acting Method" from Cole's memory and from Madam Sharon's teaching before joining Nighthawks. I am not bound by the church...
Angel A light seemed to light up in front of his eyes.
"Nightmare wants to become the real 'Nightmare', Spirit Medium wants to regard himself as the real 'Spirit Medium', and Seer wants to actively engage in 'divination' in his spare time... Is becoming the character represented by the name Potion the key to mastering Potion?"
She pretended to talk to herself and whispered these words.
Dunn Smith Gray eyes were frozen like frozen lake water.
"...Nightmare, become 'Nightmare'..."
He lowered his head and fell into deep thought, saying no more words.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Angel did not disturb Dunn, but gently moved the chair, called Door Opening and walked out.
The moment the office door closed, Angel seemed to hear Dunn whisper something.
