Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1237 Target: Chick

After a long while, Angel slowly spoke:
"He may be trying to sow discord."

As the actual manager of the "Dream City" Patis, Amon's clone, who has merged with part of Gerdruf Trunsoest's soul and consciousness, has always been very well-behaved. Not only has he managed the city of more than 0 people in an orderly manner, he has also served as a researcher of several "" level sealed objects and the guardian of the Outer Gods. He can also answer Angel's various questions from time to time. At least for now, his credibility is acceptable.

But even if Zaratul just said it casually, it inevitably planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of the two people:

Is Geldruf Amon's current peace of mind just an act? After the "Ghost Empire" emerged and became the current island city and began to accept foreign populations, He had too many ways to bypass the city's laws to communicate with the outside world and contact His original body. He may have even been replaced by the "Time Worm" and become a puppet of the original body.

Fortunately, Angel and Klein had been prepared for this kind of thing and did not reveal the real secret to Him. In order to prevent Amon's true body from coming, Klein almost never entered the city.

But the problem is that even if they suspected it, they had no means to identify it.

“If the ‘grandfather’ Pales who was parasitizing Leonard was still a Sequence 1 ‘Time Worm’, he might be able to judge whether Amon’s clone had an independent consciousness that was good through certain details. But now that ‘He’s’ characteristics have been taken away, he only has the strength of a Sequence 2 and can barely protect himself…”

Klein tapped his fingers on the long bronze table as he spoke carefully.

"Zaratul wouldn't have risked appearing in Yharnam just for this matter, right? He bet that we knew we couldn't kill Him completely, so we wouldn't act rashly. Instead, he made us suspicious of Amon's clone and caused an internal conflict."

Angel muttered a few words and decided to tell Anne about this first, asking her to keep an eye on Gerdruf Amon but not let the other party know, so as to avoid a complete fallout and the loss of this still important helper.

After all, if her "Pale Crown" doesn't need to be handed over to the goddess, it has to be handed over to Amon for research...

As for Zaratul's proposal, the two of them discussed it and thought that they didn't need to pay attention to it for the time being. After all, "He" was unwilling to offer up the Beyonder characteristics of "Servant of Mysteries" now and directly lower his sequence to "Miracle Master" so that he would completely lose the power to threaten Klein. Only after the latter was promoted to Sequence 1, would they consider whether to accept "His" "surrender."

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is actually the issue of Adam and Amon's joining the Outer Gods.

Adam has always had a certain degree of cooperation with the Goddess of Night. Their conversations and the manipulations they made to Angel when she "traveled" have not yet been fully clarified. It is also suspected that "0-08" was indirectly transferred from the Church of the Goddess of Night to Adam through the defection of Ince Zangwill. Now it seems that this was naturally to avoid the sight of the three gods of storm, scorching sun and wisdom.

If he completely surrenders to the Outer Gods, the Goddess of Night must know immediately so that she can respond.

And Amon...if He wants to welcome Mr. "Door" back to the real world, He cannot avoid the Abraham family. He must either gather the blood of 99 extraordinary people, or find one demigod each of "Fortune Teller", "Thief" and "Apprentice" as sacrifices.

But as far as the two knew, the only living demigod on the "apprentice" path was "Magician" Fors. The other members of the Abraham family were only record officers at Sequence 6 at best, and there was no way they would be promoted to demigods in the short term.

Let Fors not leave Backlund recently... Angel made up his mind and said:

"I will tell the goddess about these things. You just focus on guarding Yharnam City, lest Zaratul fails to surrender and gets angry and summons Amon's true body to attack here and prevent you from advancing to Sequence 1."

Klein nodded. This was what he was most worried about. If Zaratul really accepted the Outer God's proposal and prepared to let Amon become the owner of "Source Castle" and become the "Attendant of Mysteries", it would be a big trouble for him.

After all, Zaratul did not say which "mystery" he, the "waiter", was going to serve.

Thinking of this, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which quickly turned into a flattering smile under Angel's gaze, and he said:

"Then I will devote all my energy to preparing for the promotion ceremony of the Servant of Mysteries."

He paused, and when Angel was about to leave the gray fog and return to reality, he added:
“Plus, the city has a surprise for you.

"Stay tuned."

----

Stay tuned...it won't be what I think it is.

Returning to the luxury suite of the Aurora Hotel, which had no bed but only a huge coffin, Angel thought with half confusion and half anticipation, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing the same smile as Klein.

Suddenly, her spiritual sense was touched and she looked up at the beige ceiling.

A figure emerged from the spirit world and quickly landed beside the "big bed" with the coffin lid opened.

Wearing a complicated court dress, with a much clearer outline than before, Renette Tinicole raised her hands forward, four heads gathered together, and eight blood-red eyes stared at Angel. A cold wind blew around them involuntarily, making Angel, an angel, sluggish in his limbs, as if he was restrained by something.

There is no doubt that Renette, who had obtained the characteristics of "ancient evil" a few months ago, has recovered most of her strength. She is almost equivalent to a real angel without the "Yesterday Reappearance" spell.

“I feel…” “I feel…” “A part of the body…” The heads in His hands spoke one after another.

A part of the body... As expected, the withered heart picked up by the gravekeeper of Tizamo Town and presented to the "evil god" Fabuti belonged to the messenger lady... Angel shook her wrist, and the heart hidden in the mirror space appeared in her palm.

The heart, which had a withered surface and dried-up blood vessels, seemed to sense the existence of the main body and began to beat from slow to fast with such great force that it almost jumped out of the palm.

"Is it this one?"

Angel asked again just to confirm.

"Yes..." "This is..." "My..." "Heart..."

The four heads answered eagerly, and one of them opened its mouth and faced Angel, the meaning was obvious.

The latter did not hesitate and directly stuffed the beating heart into the mouth that was stretched to the limit and could swallow a fist. He watched it being sucked in like the gold coins before, and disappeared without a trace.

"Thank you..." "Yours..." "Help..."

The three idle heads spoke, and the one who swallowed the heart seemed to choke and shook his head in response.

"When Gehrman and I were weak, you also helped us a lot. This is just part of the reward. If you can find other limbs, please feel free to contact us."

Angel replied with a smile.

In her heart, she was indeed grateful to this spiritual creature who had signed a "messenger" contract with her long before the two of them became demigods and who actually served as her bodyguard and thug. Moreover, the other party was the leader of the "Temperance Faction", which was naturally opposed to the other faction of the "Rose School". Under the current circumstances, he could be considered a staunch ally.

Strengthening His strength will be of great help to the situation in the southern continent.

Once an "ancient evil creature" belonging to the righteous god appears and kills Sua or severely injures the "Bound God", it will seize a part of the "divine evil" characteristics, and the "Mother Tree of Desire" will have almost no power to drive within the barrier.

On the other hand, Fabuti, who already possesses all the characteristics of the "Abyss" path and a portion of "Divine Evil", has the opportunity to become a true "Old One".

How many Old Ones the Earth can have before the barrier breaks is the key to its survival. To do this, we must unite all the forces that can be united... Angel muttered to himself as he watched Renette Tinicole leave after bowing deeply.

----

After returning to Backlund, Angel immediately went to Saint Samuel's Church and used prayer to inform the Goddess of the Night of the news revealed by Zaratul, of which the truth was unknown. Of course, it also included the fact that the "Pale Queen" kept her promise and handed over the sealed object.

Soon, an additional piece of information appeared in her mind.

The goddess' answers to the above two questions are very consistent:
Regarding Adam and Amon: Don't worry about it.

The matter of "Pale Crown": No need to hand it in.

Angel had anticipated the disposal of this sealed object. The goddess had already obtained the Sequence 1 characteristic and corresponding uniqueness from the "God of Death", satisfying the requirements for promotion to the "Old Ones". Obtaining a "Pale Emperor" characteristic was nothing more than giving a believer who had become an angel the opportunity to jump to another path.

Is this a reward for my previous efforts, including contacting the "Underworld Man" in the Western Continent? Angel accepted the gift with peace of mind, and then thought of another answer.

The goddess didn't seem to care about Adam and Amon's surrender to the Outer Gods? She told me not to worry about it. Did she mean that what Zarathu said was false and there was no need to worry, or that I was simply not capable of participating in such matters?

Angel hoped it was the former, but rationally speaking, the latter was more likely.

After all, even if I mastered the source essence, I would only be equivalent to an angel king, a weaker one at that. It would be too difficult for me to participate in the game between gods... She sighed helplessly and left the church.

Unfortunately, what she planned to do next was no simpler than this goal. Even though the plan had gradually taken shape, the future was still very bleak:

She will use the power of Sequence 2 to challenge the "Original Witch" Chike!
Of course, relying solely on her own strength would undoubtedly be suicide. The restraint between the upper and lower levels on the same path is extremely strong. Even if the original witch is suspected to have been severely injured and her strength is not as good as in the Fourth Epoch, Angel alone has absolutely no possibility of defeating the opponent.

But standing beside her were Klein, who was about to be promoted to Sequence 1, several angels from other paths, and gods who were looking forward to the birth of a new god who had the opportunity to be promoted to "Destroyer of Natural Disasters, Root of Calamity."

Moreover, she also has the means to induce the "Original Witch" to show up on her own initiative.

A female witch who has achieved "immortality"!
