Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1107 Luo Weiya

Compared to Moon City, which has been stationed at the eastern fog wall for a thousand years, the living conditions in Silver City are much better, so the population has been maintained at around 5000 people. Even outside the God-forsaken Land, it is considered a large town, so there is sufficient manpower to ensure day and night patrols and guarding of the city gates.

After noticing the approaching light, the guards quickly gathered together, looked into the distance, and confirmed that the two figures were indeed humans.

And according to their experience, in this land abandoned by God, no one except humans can use fire to create light in the dark. Even the monsters that can control flames to kill enemies will only ignite flames when launching an attack, and usually lurk in the darkness.

"Quick, go inform the elders that someone, something that looks like a human is approaching!"

A guard whispered instructions to his companions.

He was not sure that the one approaching the Silver City was a real "human". Perhaps it was a monster that had transformed into a human form and could use fire in disguise. The best way was to be prepared for an attack.

But when he raised his head again, he found that the two figures had disappeared as strangely as when they appeared.

The guard's body stiffened instantly, and cold sweat broke out on his face and vest.

----

"The guards here are quite vigilant. They spotted us from a long distance. I thought they would relax a little after the monsters around them were cleared."

The mirror world, Angel said as he took Klein through a dark and eerie mirror passage to sneak into the City of Silver.

"This has been their way of survival for thousands of years. Remember the Amon clone who parasitized the expedition leader and sneaked into the city? He was locked up in the dungeon for forty-two years, and they never let him out even though they didn't find any problems."

Klein answered casually, looking around and feeling the strange visual experience of wandering in the mirror world.

This was similar to him walking in the mist of history, but one was in space and the other in time. And compared to the bizarre historical pores formed by the superposition of all the historical events within his cognition, the world in the mirror was like a starless and moonless God-forsaken land, dark except for a few sparse mirror passages, weird and gloomy.

At this moment, Angel, who was hugging him from behind, moved, and the two of them approached a mirror with a small space at the back, and crawled out from there and came to a room made of huge stones.

Feeling the comfortable temperature and touch leaving his back, Klein looked around with a slight disappointment and confirmed that he had arrived at the dome of the Twin Towers. He then led Angel through the densely arranged candles and oil lamps and soon found the room of the "chief" Colin Iliad whom he had visited last time.

As he passed by the window looking out, Angel looked out and took in the "night view" of the entire Silver City from a high place. He was surprised that such a dangerous and barren place could sustain a town of this size.

After several trips to the God-Forsaken Land, Angel knew that this place, called the "Eastern Continent" by the outside world, was not suitable for human beings or any normal creatures to survive. There was no sun, so most plants could not survive, and the same was true for the animals that fed on them, which led to the destruction of the entire food chain. Only strange monsters that mutated in the darkness, preyed on each other, and accumulated madness and toxins could survive.

If it weren't for the "black-faced grass" in Silver City, it would have become like Moon City, only able to hunt monsters for food, accumulating toxins in its body, becoming deformed or crazy... Angel was thoughtful as he watched a tuft of black plants like hair growing out of the cracks in the bricks and stones, sometimes drooping and sometimes swaying in the windless environment.

Suddenly, she looked up as if she had sensed something.

A faint but needle-like touch came from the "Chief" room at the top of the tower, making her feel as if someone was watching her and she had the illusion that she was facing danger.

"It seems that the 'Chief' has discovered us."

Angel said softly, smiling towards that position.

The hostility disappeared.

……

At the top of the round tower, Angel and Klein met Colin Iliad, the chief elder of the "Council of Six", who had gray hair, deep nasolabial folds, and various old scars all over his face.

The "Silver Knight" who had sensed Angel from a distance fixed his eyes on her. He was amazed at her beauty that transcended race and culture and her natural charm, but also wary of her ability to realize that she was being targeted and even smile back.

He had used the divine seal guarding the City of Silver to send out the "warning", but Gehrman Sparrow, another follower of Mr. Fool, had not sensed anything.

This means that the other party is most likely an angel, of the same status as the sealed object!
After a moment of silence, Colin was the first to ask:
"Are you the other one who is going to help us explore the Giant King's Court? Um, the follower of Mr. Fool?"

In fact, I am the goddess's favored one, a member of Mr. Fool's God's Council, and the Pope of the Witch Church... Angel muttered to himself, realizing that the other party might have noticed that he was a Sequence 2 angel, so he used honorifics, so he nodded and said:
"Yes, but it depends on whether you accept the help."

She didn't answer like that to embarrass the residents of Silver City. After all, "getting Silver City out of the God-Forsaken Land" was itself a ritual for Klein's promotion. And for the sake of Mr. Sun and their tragic history of enduring more than two thousand years in the God-Forsaken Land, Angel didn't mind giving them a hand so that they could enjoy the sea breeze, the sunshine, and head to the rich outside world.

But free things are the most expensive. If Angel agreed to help without asking for any compensation, the "Six-member Council" of Silver City might think there was some conspiracy. So she decided to put forward a condition that was not difficult:

"The reward for my help is to show me two '0' level seals, which are what you call 'god-level seals', and tell me their functions, negative effects, and sealing methods." This request inevitably makes people think that he covets the two seals, so Angel was prepared to be rejected, but the chief just pondered for a moment and answered:
"I need to discuss this matter with the other elders and cannot make a commitment alone."

"That makes sense. Let's discuss exploring the Giant King's Court, assuming you agree to it."

Angel nodded in satisfaction and said.

She knew that if such a thing could be discussed, the chances of it being approved would not be low. After all, compared to the secret of the "0" level seal, allowing Silver City to leave the God-forsaken Land and get out of its current predicament was the most important thing. In addition, Angel suspected that the use of these two seals was very restricted, otherwise Silver City would have used them long ago and tried to attack the "Giant King's Court".

As for her purpose, she really just wanted to understand the power of the "0" level seal so that she could use it as a reference to formulate a plan for the use and sealing of the "Sword of Glory" she owned and the "Blood Flag of Salinger" still preserved in Morola.

After hearing Angel's words, Colin Iliad's serious mouth corners slightly raised. Just as he was about to say something, Klein interrupted:
"Ask the other members who are going to the Giant King's Court to come as well."

Colin looked at him and nodded slightly.
"We were originally planning to send out a whole expedition team, but if this... lady joins us, the number of people may be much smaller."

"It is indeed not necessary for members below the level of demigods."

Angel commented calmly, trying to keep his tone calm so as not to be taken as a provocation or ridicule.

Colin, who was much taller than both her and Klein but did not seem as strong, was stunned for a moment and left the room. A moment later, he returned to the room with a man and a woman.

Angel, who was walking in front, could recognize Derrick Berg, the "Sun" of the Tarot Club, just by his familiar outline. Although he was not yet an adult and his height was still not as high as the Chief who was over 4 meters tall, and he could be considered underdeveloped in Silver City, he had just been promoted to Sequence "No Darkness" and there was a glimmer of light in his brown pupils that did not belong to the God-Forsaken Land. That was the sunlight that all Silver City residents prayed for.

The woman behind was half a head shorter than Derrick. She wore a black robe with many mysterious purple patterns on it. Her long, slightly curly silver hair was draped behind her head. Her fair and translucent skin was quite different from that of other residents in the City of Silver, most of whom had giant blood. Her bright and generous face revealed a look of doubt because of the presence of Angel and Klein in the room.

She soon noticed that Derrick, who was called by the chief, had a dull expression on his face, as if he had already known the two strangers. She was the only one who didn't know the truth.

What's going on—she looked at Colin Iliad and questioned with her light grey, almost transparent eyes.

The latter briefly introduced:

"These two are our helpers who are here to explore the Giant King's Court together. They are the followers of Mr. Fool, Mr. Gehrman Sparrow, and..."

"Angelica Sage."

Angel said, using a pseudonym that matched Crane's.

At first glance, she recognized this woman who was half a head taller than her as Lovia Tiffany, who often mentioned "the sun" and whose frequency was second only to Chief Colin. She was a believer of the "True Creator" and a Sequence 5 "Shepherd".

No, now she has been promoted to "Black Knight" and has become a demigod... Well, no matter whether the followers of that evil god are crazy or not, they must be handsome men and beautiful women. Do they have any special preferences in choosing their missionary targets... Angel remembered the information he got from Derrick not long ago, and smiled at Lovia, causing the other party's gaze to stagnate instantly. After a moment, he recovered as if he had thought of something and shouted in surprise:
"Followers of the Fool!"

A majestic figure almost taller than the ceiling suddenly appeared behind her. It was a knight wearing silver full body armor, with a hunched body, his head hanging forward, and his eyes dark red like blood, burning like fire.

"Lovia!"

The chief frowned and called out to the other party as if to remind him.

"Are you a believer of the True Creator?" Angel suddenly asked. His gentle tone and the power that calmed people made Lovia stop her subsequent actions. "In exploring the Giant King's Court, your Lord's interests are the same as ours. If you have any doubts, you can pray to Him and ask about this matter."

The "Black Knight" and the "Silver Knight" she was herding stared at Angel, as if to confirm the truth of her words. After a moment, the giant knight's figure drilled back into Lovia's body. The latter nodded slightly as if nothing had happened and said nothing more.

Seeing that the representatives of The Fool and the Fallen Creator, whom he had high hopes for, did not clash and cause irreversible consequences, Colin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly:
"Then let's talk about how to explore the 'Giant King's Court' and face the threat of the 'Dark Angel'."

----

On another night in the God-Forsaken Land, Angel, who was waiting in the dome tower, finally got a response from "Chief" Colin:

Except for the one stationed in Afternoon Town who failed to attend and Lovia Tiffany who voted against the meeting, the other four people including Colin agreed to show Angel the two god-level sealed objects in exchange for the angel's help.

To Angel's surprise, the person who led her on the "tour" was actually Lovia, one of the elders in the council, who had voted against the proposal.

ps: Strange, I made a mistake and several comments were missing, I really didn’t delete them…
