Angel's first reaction to the Witch's words was not curiosity, but bewilderment.
It was like someone handing her a pillow just as she began to doze off, and it brought back certain less-than-pleasant memories.
For instance, the various coincidences in Tingen City, "0-08," the Quill of Alzuhod, or Adam, the "Angel of Imagination," whom she had encountered before advancing to a demigod...
After considering it for a moment, she asked without changing her expression:
"That is indeed information I want to know, but where did you get it? I find it hard to believe an ordinary member of the Demoness Sect could learn such important information."
Contrary to her expectations, Tia looked puzzled. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes reflecting a curious gleam in the candlelight, and answered:
"It isn't really confidential information. My superior occasionally mentioned these things in conversation, and when I took the initiative to chat with other Demonesses, I also learned quite a few useful things... Perhaps it has something to do with having attended a church school. I'm rather enthusiastic about collecting clues and information."
"A church school?"
Angel had a guess.
"Yes, I was born in Lenburg and attended a school run by the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom from a very young age. Of course, my grades weren't very good, so I later left... It was precisely because of that experience that, after becoming an 'Assassin,' I didn't really agree with the sect's beliefs. Things were fine at the low sequences, when my superior allowed us a certain degree of autonomy, but after I advanced to 'Witch,' they intended to arrange the rest of my life...
"So I found an opportunity to steal back my blood, left Feynapotter, and returned to Azshara to seek the Church of Knowledge's protection.
