Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1206 Secret Agreement
Sensing Angel's arrival, the person in the mirror withdrew his hand from stroking the coffin carved with trees and bird patterns, and looked at her with a smile.

"What you brought this time is quite interesting."

She patted the coffin lid a few times and said.

"Did you find anything in your research?"

Angel asked back, and walked to the side of the person in the mirror, slid the coffin lid to the side, and let it fall to the ground, revealing the corpse of a young woman with a red satin pillow inside, a phoenix coronet tilted to one side, and a bridal veil draped on both sides of the body.

No, it is not accurate to say that she is a corpse. She possesses the gift of "immortality" and is essentially still alive, but she does not seem to have thoughts of her own. She just maintains her instincts in the cycle of constant resurrection and death, and will involuntarily bring disaster to the people around her.

If this place wasn't the source of all disasters, deep in the "City of Disaster" that holds the power of natural disasters, man-made disasters and destruction, Angel wouldn't dare to open the coffin and expose this "disaster" witch.

"Obviously, this dress, tiara, and shawl come from traditional customs in the East, which is now the Western Continent. It is the 'wedding dress' over there."

The person in the mirror pointed at the wedding dress which was mainly red and decorated with gold and silver and said.

Angel nodded. She had a vague memory of this. Based on the movies she had seen in her previous life and Professor Klein's explanation of Chinese, she could even recall that the shawl embroidered with clouds was called "Xiapei" and the crown with golden wings, drooping tassels and hanging jewels was called "Phoenix Crown".

But the female corpse had light yellow hair, deep facial features, and a high nose bridge. She was not from that country, but instead had the characteristics of the northern continent.

Taking this opportunity, she told the Man in the Mirror her guess about the Blue Avenger's treasure trove.

After listening to Angel's story, the person in the mirror raised his eyebrows in surprise and said in a smiling tone:
"That's pretty much what I guessed. It seems like we are essentially the same person."

I always feel that she is being sarcastic and thinks that I am not as good as her in thinking... Angel muttered, reaching into the coffin, helping the young female corpse to straighten the phoenix crown, and continued to ask:
"Then do you think the gift she received really came from the City of Disaster? Is there any connection between the gift-giving ceremony and this outfit?"

The person in the mirror looked at the bright red wedding dress, then looked at Angel, his eyes flickered, and after a moment he nodded and said:

"At least part of the 'Disaster' witch comes from the source. Otherwise, even if she has a false angel status, she will be contaminated by the City of Disaster when she enters here. After all, she is not truly dead yet, and the power in her body is not pure.

"But even if Tudor is a red priest and communicated with the origin of war through some kind of ritual, it is impossible for an ordinary person to be granted the power of the Witch Angel. This means that the main body of the City of Disaster that is sealed in the Western Continent has a certain degree of independent consciousness, otherwise it would not be able to respond to prayers and bestow blessings."

Angel asked curiously:
"Could it be that after Tudor became a red priest, he also gained some authority over the City of Disaster, and can bestow continuous and stable power on others, just like us?"

"It's not that easy..." The man in the mirror smiled and shook his head. "The power of the Essence is equivalent to the Old Ones. Even if a true god tries to touch it, there is a high probability that it will be contaminated. And even if you become a follower of the Essence and gain a certain amount of power, there is still a long way to go before you can master the Essence. If it weren't for our... corpses, which entered here by coincidence and underwent miraculous changes over thousands of years, it would be impossible to drive the power of this Essence."

The Red Angel Medici, as the king of angels, tried to mobilize the power of the City of Disaster, but it led to the leakage of pollution, causing changes in Bansi where his family was located... And if Tudor really had completely mastered the power of the source essence, he would have turned against the "Original Witch" long ago, taken away the uniqueness of the Witch's path and the characteristics of Sequence 1, and tried to advance to the Old One... Angel nodded in understanding, and then thought of the huge dragon body he saw in the full-length mirror in the treasury, and asked:

"The 'will' of the source you mentioned, could it be that giant dragon? Is the city it inhabits the main body of the City of Disaster in the western continent?"

She described in detail what she saw in the mirror, causing the person in the mirror to frown.

"That dragon may indeed be the manifestation of source consciousness, but that city is definitely not the 'City of Disaster'. Or rather, not entirely."

She said carefully.

"The manifestation of this source in the mirror world is indeed the city we are in, but the main body is a collection of countless cities symbolized by disasters. It can even break through different time periods and gather together. Even if the dragon is indeed entrenched in the 'City of Disaster', it is only a small part of it."

Different times... I remember the man in the mirror mentioned it last time, so this city is made up of ancient and modern Eastern and Western styles, and is made up of streets of different civilizations in the new era after the destruction of the old era... Angel was thoughtful, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:

"That street covered by gray fog is the city inside the seal of the 'Western Continent'. Is that where the giant dragon is?"

The person in the mirror nodded slightly:
"That's right. Although it only occupies a small part of the entire 'City of Disaster' mirror, it is where the essence of power lies. Only a small number of people have leaked the seal. Otherwise, how could a complete source of essence only have this much power? This is a symbol of the old days, the source of disaster and destruction. Even if the 'Original Witch' is a true god, it is difficult for her to gain an absolute advantage over the owner of the source of essence."

Are we so powerful... No, the City of Disaster is still sealed... Angel thought with a lost heart and retorted casually:

"Qike and Tudor's cooperation should have yielded a lot of useful results. Could it be that he has also mastered a portion of the source power?"

"At least it's not the City of Disaster, otherwise we should have felt something." The person in the mirror immediately denied this, "But I don't know if there will be other source powers. For the 'Witch', the only useful thing may be the 'River of Everlasting Darkness'..." As she spoke, she looked at the female corpse that possessed the power of both the "Witch" and the "Death God", and muttered hesitantly:

"I have a vague memory of how the power of this female corpse was combined. It seems that this symbol of the end of everything is still missing a part. Does it mean that it needs to gather the essence of the 'River of Eternal Darkness' and the 'City of Disaster', supplemented by the power of all five paths, to be complete?"

"Wouldn't that make him the 'God of Death' Salinger?" Angel smiled, but his expression suddenly froze.

Emperor Roselle said that Salinger's direction was correct, but there was a problem with the order of accommodation.

He is eager to bring about the Pale Disaster, targeting the night and the god of war.

Amon's brother believes that the paths of darkness, death, twilight giants, witches and hunters are interchangeable, and there is a special relationship between them.

Tudor conducted shameful experiments in a special mirror world, and the result was the female corpse in front of him that combined the powers of non-adjacent pathways.

The ritual candle made from the oil of the demigod corpses of the Witch and Hunter.

Pieces of information emerged from the depths of her memory, and Angel felt that she had grasped some clues. She did not think about it alone, but quickly told it all to the person in the mirror.

The latter leaned against the coffin and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said:
"Perhaps, Tudor was really trying to find a way to obtain the power of the Old Ones without relying on the complete source essence. Salinger inherited these experimental results and eventually turned himself into a crazy 'half-Old One'...

"You now have the seal of the Dark Man, which is equivalent to being able to resist the power of the River of Eternal Darkness to a certain extent. Try to obtain the extraordinary characteristics of the Pale Emperor. The combination of these two may allow you to truly come into contact with that source..."

No wonder the goddess gave me the oracle to find the Pale Queen and obtain the Sequence 1 characteristic in her hand. Is this also the premise for me to help the goddess master the power of the River of Eternal Darkness? What about the City of Disaster? Compared to the River of Eternal Darkness, which has tributaries in reality and even has ascetics from the Western Continent, this source seems to be more difficult to master, and it also has its own consciousness... Am I going to compete with that dragon in the end?
Thoughts popped up in Angel's mind, and when she was about to continue asking questions, she found that the person in the mirror in front of her grabbed a handful of air and took out the "corpse oil candle" she had stored in the mirror space.

Holding the candle in the transparent glass jar between the two of them, the person in the mirror smiled and said:

"Since Tudor is likely using this candle to communicate with the 'City of Disaster' in the western continent, we can do it too. Moreover, we have an advantage over the 'Red Priest'."

Advantage...Angel suddenly realized.

She has been granted the power of the "War Bishop" and has the ability to sacrifice to the origin of war and receive gifts. Although usually this kind of prayer is directed to the man in the mirror, the phantom in the mirror of the City of Disaster that is leaked outside the seal, but with this special candle, she may be able to break through the seal and enter the city in the western continent through a secret ceremony.

As the favored one of this source essence, she can perform the ritual more safely and efficiently than other people who attempt it.

At this point, the two of them stopped talking and quickly followed the mirror passage that spread throughout the city to the street that was shrouded in gray-white fog and seemed to be approachable but could never be entered.

Although the seal representing the power of "Tianzun" is still solid, Angel was only a Sequence 4 "Despair" witch when she came last time, but now she has been promoted to an angel, and her vision in the fog has become much clearer.

Across the street, a two-wheeled cart pulled by human power, a swollen lady on the cart, and a street that was modern yet not modern enough came into view.

She looked at the person in the mirror, then knelt down on the cold street under the encouraging gaze of the other person, lit the candle in the glass jar, and without making any other ritual preparations, she closed her eyes and entered a meditative state.

A slightly sweet aroma entered her nostrils.

This was the first time she smelled a real smell in this "city of disaster".

Affected by the fragrance, Angel's whole body gradually became itchy, his blood vessels began to dilate, and he even sensed a glimmer of light with his closed eyes.

Suddenly, she became spiritually alert and opened her eyes abruptly.

What surrounded me was no longer the gray mist and the person standing quietly in the mirror, but an unfamiliar street.

A metal train with only two carriages had two black supports on top, connecting the lines in mid-air, and it was rushing towards her with a clear tinkling sound.
