Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1159 The owner came to the door?

He, no, He is the angel king of the "Fortune Teller" path, Antigonus who is called "half fool"?
How did He find this place? Did He know that it was Klein and I who stole His extraordinary characteristic of "Mysterious Servant"? We obviously didn't use our true faces, and we also did a reverse divination afterwards... Angel's mind raced, and his right hand clenched. A flagpole that turned iron-black as if stained with blood loomed, making people tremble. The atmosphere of wanting to kneel down and worship instantly filled the entire church.

Angel didn't know how Antigonus escaped from the "secret" of the Goddess of Night, nor did she know whether "Her" could contain or utilize that "uniqueness" again with the status of Sequence 2. However, it did not prevent her from hitting the other party's dog head, no, wolf head with a stick under the witness of the goddess' holy emblem hanging high up.

Sensing a hint of hostility, Antigonus, who was wearing a thin black windbreaker common among night watchmen, had a young face but half-white hair, and looked both youthful and old, smiled warmly and said in Loenese with a slight accent:
"I'm from the Holy Temple. Ms. Arianna asked me to come to you directly to help you with your mission in the southern continent. You can call me..."

"Antigonus."

Angel took over the conversation, his brows still furrowed, unable to be sure whether what the other party said was true or false.

She was well aware of the Seer's acting abilities. Not only had she been on guard against her own spiritual body being touched, she was also worried about whether the other party would join forces with Amon to launch an attack. After all, judging from the composition of the "Old Days", Amon, as the Seer's adjacent pathway, only needed a copy of the Seer's Sequence 1 characteristic and uniqueness. He could have promised Antigonus that he would continue to be the King of Angels in exchange for the other party's cooperation!
Seeing that she was still alert, Antigonus clenched his right fist and placed it on his left chest, bowed, and continued:

"I come with good intentions, you can pray to the goddess to confirm this."

This was the way of greeting in the early Fourth Epoch. He should be Antigonus himself, but with good intentions? Angel glanced at the captain of the Nighthawks who was still standing beside him and found that his eyes were not focused at all and his expression was a little dull. It was obvious that he had been deceived by the illusion and had no idea that there were two "distinguished guests" in front of him.

She would not be so foolish as to pray directly, as it would be too easy for the opponent to catch her weakness. Facing a "miracle master", if she relaxed for a few seconds, the spiritual thread would belong to the opponent. In actual combat, Klein had used this method to turn defeat into victory!

Thinking of this, she nodded and said:

"I'll confirm later, what is your real intention?"

"You don't trust me, and I don't trust you either. At the end of my thousand-year-long deep dream, I was deeply impressed by the scene where you and another 'miracle master' took away my extraordinary characteristics." Antigonus straightened up, smoothed the collar of his windbreaker, and continued, "You did disguise yourself at the time, but for a fortuneteller who once mastered 'uniqueness', it is not difficult to recognize you using the 'characteristics' of the spirit thread."

So that's how it is. Klein can change his spiritual line, but I can't... Angel suddenly realized, and was puzzled by Antigonus's indifference after recognizing his enemy.

As she watched, Antigonus continued calmly:

"I did receive an oracle this time to help you and the Nighthawks eliminate the followers of the evil god. I have an agreement with... the Goddess of Night. I will use my loyalty in exchange for a condition. You don't need to worry that I may have other intentions."

When talking about the Goddess of Night, His expression changed slightly, which was keenly caught by Angel.

It seems that He did not do it voluntarily, but because of that "condition"... Did the goddess promise to give Him freedom? But at this time, He had already left the Hornachis Mountains and could have learned from Zaratul to hide in the dark. Without the goddess descending, almost no one could catch Him... Could it be the "Mother of Heaven"?
Angel suddenly remembered that the vessel of divine descent used by the goddess many times was exactly the sister of the descendant of the demon wolf in front of him, and guessed that the goddess might use her as a condition in exchange for Antigonus' loyalty for a certain period of time.

After all, the war has just ended, the Church of the God of War is waiting to be incorporated, and cult organizations are appearing frequently in various places. The combat effectiveness of every angel is precious.

After figuring it all out, Angel lowered his guard a little, stuffed "0-01" back into the mirror space, sent away the Night Watchman who was standing there blinded by the illusion, and then continued to ask in the empty church:
"How much do you know about the 'Rose School'?"

She didn't ask what kind of help the other party could provide, because she knew the abilities of the "miracle worker" very well.

Antigonus looked around, found a bench to sit on, unbuttoned the top button of his windbreaker without any image, and said:

"Until I fell into madness, the southern continent was ruled by the 'God of Death' Salinger and his Church of the God of Death. Only the occupied Star Highlands and the Paz River Valley had sporadic other beliefs, including the 'Rose School' you mentioned.

"But they didn't have this name at the time. They just formed a kind of primitive belief because of their worship and restraint of desire. Of course, it can be traced back to the fallen ancient god, 'Alien King' Kwashitun... After the death of the God of Death and the severance of traffic between the north and south continents, resistance against the Church of the God of Death rose up in various parts of the southern continent, and the Rose School that believed in the 'Bound God' officially stepped onto the stage of history.

"They were originally divided into two factions, the 'Hedonistic Faction' that worships desire and embraces madness, and the 'Temperance Faction' that advocates a frugal life to fight against desire. However, after the Bound God gave birth to the 'Son of God' Sua, the former gained the upper hand. Until the last few years, the 'Temperance Faction' completely lost power and was driven out of the southern continent. Sua also became the 'God's Evil'. I think you know what this means."

Some of this happened in the Fifth Epoch, and Antigonus was already asleep at that time. Perhaps He used the scriptures within the church to connect it with the history He was familiar with... "Divine Evil" is Sequence 1 of the "Bound One" pathway, I already knew this... Angel thought about it and nodded.
"I have come into contact with Suea several times. He is no match for me now. But if the Bound God is the Angel King of the same path..."

"Torzna can no longer move freely. He was corrupted by the 'Mother Tree of Desire', which caused the 'Rose School' to become what it is now." Antigonus shook his head and said, as if he felt sorry for the former.

Torzna? "God of Spirits" Torzna? Wasn't he a member of the "Redemption Rose"? Unexpectedly, he became the "Bound God" and was murdered by the Outer Gods... Judging from the fact that the appearance of "Son of God" Sua led to the internal transformation of the Rose School, it is very likely that this Angel King has not completely succumbed to the "Mother Tree of Desire"... Angel felt like history was coming into his life again, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is undoubtedly good news for her. Regardless of whether Tolzna now possesses two "divine evil" characteristics or is the unique Angel King, he should not be able to participate in the battle if he cannot protect himself. The Orthodox Church will only face one or two angels, an archangel, and some possible "2" level seals.

And to deal with the "hedonists", Angel can find an extra helper.

Thinking of this, she looked at Antigonus and said:

"Before the Nighthawks and other large forces of the Orthodox Church come to the southern continent, I plan to contact some old friends to see if I can collect more information or even get more allies to help. I need... I hope you can find the base of the Rose School in the Ancient Forest during this period, and preferably find those elusive saints."

"Don't be so polite. I said I'm here to assist you."

Antigonus replied, standing up from the bench, straightening his windbreaker, and seemed to be about to leave.

Seeing this, Angel quickly added:
"Be careful of the Outer Gods when fortune-telling... You should know about the existence of the 'Old Ones', right?"

She was worried that this fortune teller, without the protection of Sefirah Castle, would accidentally kill himself.

"I know more than you do. After we solve the Rose School, maybe we can have a discussion."

The "miracle worker" who had just fallen from grace chuckled and disappeared in the sudden flames.

----

Leaving the church and returning to his temporary residence, Angel set up a simple altar and chanted a summoning spell, allowing Renette Tinicole, who was wearing an intricate court dress and holding two heads in each hand, to float out of the spirit world and land in front of him.

"Ma'am, are you interested in revenge against the 'Debauchery Faction' that once hunted you? I think I can provide some help."

Angel disguised his intention of winning over allies to deal with the "Rose School" as helping the "Temperance Faction" to fight the "Hedonism Faction" and threw it out.

According to Klein, this messenger whose head is mostly on his hand is Miss Sharon’s teacher. He is also the former leader of the “Temperance Faction”, the princess of the Highland Kingdom, and a Sequence 2 “Ancient Evil Creature”.

Of course, he no longer possesses the strength of an angel. In the civil war that broke out between the "indulgence faction" and the "temperance faction" a few years ago, this angel was besieged and killed by high-level members of the Rose School, including Sua, in order to cover his students' escape from the southern continent.

Although He had a way to resurrect, and successfully resurrected in the spirit world with his current state and strength roughly equivalent to that of a Sequence 3, the characteristics of that Sequence 2 remained in his body and were divided into multiple parts and hidden away, resulting in Him never having the opportunity to truly recover to his state before his death.

Now, the Orthodox Church's crackdown on the "Rose School" is a great opportunity for him and the Temperance Faction. Not only can they take revenge on the members of the Hedonism Faction, but they also have the opportunity to get their bodies back and truly be resurrected in the real world, rather than existing as a spirit.

Being able to find a helper who can restore the angel's status and power through "Yesterday's Reappearance" when necessary, and at the same time repay the favors owed to Him, is simply the best of both worlds... Thinking of this, Angel's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile on his face that made Reinette's eight eyes unable to look away.

No, I have to hold it in. I can't laugh, otherwise Reinette will think I'm lying to her... When will I learn Klein's ability to control facial expressions... Angel suppressed the corners of his mouth and looked at the messenger floating above, waiting for her response.

Under her expectant gaze, Renette's four heads shook back and forth and nodded.
