Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1247 Willing to Take Risks
When his spirit returned to the gray fog, Klein's mind still hadn't recovered from the endless and tremendous pleasure just now.

He simply thought that after he was promoted to Sequence 1, he would be able to suppress Angel, who was still at Sequence 2, and that he could use the "special features" of today's mass wedding to "graft" the spiritual threads of the other pairs of secret doll couples onto Angel, thus achieving a gameplay that he had only imagined before but had never had the opportunity to realize...

But he forgot that in addition to being a "disaster" witch, Angel also possessed the gift of "War Bishop", which meant that she could also utilize all of Klein's abilities as a member of the team, including spiritual threads, grafting, and even the mist of history.

It was too terrifying to share the tactile sensations and extreme emotions of five selves at the same time... She also learned to borrow power and restore strength from herself in the mist of history... How could she be so bad... It turned out that I did it first, so it's okay... Thoughts kept emerging in Klein's mind. It was not until he gradually calmed down that he let his spirituality spread and touch the star belonging to "Queen" Angel, pulling her spirit into the gray fog.

Looking at Angel, whose cheeks were still somewhat rosy and whose whole body exuded an irresistible charm, Klein let out a long breath, leaned back in his chair and said slowly:

"I have become the 'Attendant of Mysteries'."

"Yeah, I know," Angel nodded calmly, "but it doesn't seem to be much better than before."

That's because I only "grafted" the spirit thread and didn't make further use of this ability, such as grafting a certain state of yours together, falling into an endless cycle, like sealing Roselle... And for the sake of fairness, I didn't borrow the power from the historical pores multiple times... Klein muttered silently for a few words, his expression changed, and finally he forced out a smile and said:

"Perhaps I just haven't had time to grasp the true power of this sequence yet."

Then, he changed the subject and introduced in detail his newly acquired abilities, successfully attracting Angel's attention and ending this embarrassing topic.

After confirming that the "Yesterday Reappearance" he created could indeed greatly extend the duration of its effectiveness, Klein asked carefully:

"When do you plan to start your plan?
"When Amon truly becomes a god and Adam is no longer constrained by the 'True Creator', they may stand on the side of the 'Original Witch'."

Angel also recovered from the passion in the Fool's Church and quickly entered a serious state of discussing business. He slowly said:

"I still need to confirm a few final things, such as Elaine's thoughts, whether the 'True Creator' can provide practical help, and... what exactly is the 'Chaos Witch' in the mirror..."

In her plan, if the "Original Witch" was just an ordinary Sequence 0, relying solely on the help of the Goddess of Night and the strength of Angel and Klein themselves, there was a high probability that she would be able to deal a fatal blow to him who was in poor condition.

But if we add the power of the "Chaos Sea" and the back-up plan of the resurrection of "God", it may not be the case.

In this delicate balance of power, it is very important whether the "True Creator" who has mastered the first "blasphemous slate" and also possesses the source power of "Chaos Sea" can provide help.

As for how to contact this evil god whose whereabouts are unknown and who is very likely to be hunting Adam, Angel naturally thought of the messengers of the "Aurora Society" spread all over the world.

Of course, Angel didn't necessarily need to do this herself, she could hand it over to someone else. Her primary goal now was...

"The 'Chaos Witch' in the mirror is suspected to be the deity that Black Cat Wensa and the 'White Saint' truly believe in? How do you plan to contact her?"

Klein asked curiously.

"Winsa once gave me a black statue of the 'Chaos Witch', but using this statue to pray directly may bring danger into reality... I plan to use those special 'Mirror People' in Trier..." Angel explained, "According to those Mirror People who were arrested after being exposed, there is a common 'leader' deep in the mirror. I initially suspected that this was the 'Chaos Witch', but now I think that He may be..."

The two continued to discuss for a while, and then Angel left the gray fog and returned to reality.

Looking at the crimson light gradually fading from the high-backed chair of the Queen, Klein relaxed his whole body, slumped on the Fool's Seat, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

----

Commanding the "Redhead" to dock at the port of Patis, the "City of Dreams", Elaine Soren hurried back to the city and came to the Church of St. Angelica.

On the way, she noticed that the old three-masted sailing ship that had been parked in the park pond in the city center was gone.

That was Miss Angelica's original flagship. Could it be that she encountered something that required the deployment of this ghost ship... Elaine pondered, and walked into the prayer hall of the church with asymmetrical candlesticks and exquisite murals, and bowed her head and offered a pious prayer in front of the statue of St. Angelica.

But when she looked up again, she found that the statue, which had been maintaining a stiff posture just now, had become lifelike. The stone face looked white and translucent, with a hint of blush. The deep purple eyes attracted Elaine's gaze like a whirlpool, making her expression gradually dull.

No, this is the real Miss Angelica... She reacted suddenly and woke up from the witch's charm. Her cheeks became hot, her eyes refocused, and she bowed awkwardly.

Angel, who emerged from the mirror world, also noticed the abnormal behavior of the Witch of Despair in front of him. He realized that the cause was himself, and quickly restrained his overflowing charm. He coughed lightly and said:

"How is the performance of 'Despair' going?"

Fortunately, they didn't ask me about Tracy and I... Elaine, whose mind was a little scattered, thought secretly and replied in a deep voice:

"After participating in several battles to siege the followers of the 'Original Moon' and setting a trap to kill a desperate saint of the 'Rose School', my magic potion has been almost digested."

"It seems that no matter if you are a 'hunter' or a 'witch', the best place to digest the potion is the battlefield..." Angel sighed, and then said, "Be prepared, you may have the opportunity to be promoted to an 'immortal' witch at any time."

"Not old?"

Elaine blurted out the question that she couldn't suppress.

Prior to this, Angel had hinted several times that he would arrange for Elaine to jump back to the hunter path and be promoted to "War Bishop". Not only had he provided the corresponding potion formula, but he had also specifically warned her not to be promoted to "immortal" witch not long ago.

But why now...

Seeing Elaine was confused, Angel patiently explained:
"I once received some warnings and hints, and I knew that when a female witch is promoted to 'Immortal', it will attract the horror hidden in the depths of the mirror world, and the 'Original Witch' will pay attention to you, so I dissuaded you from jumping the path to become a 'War Bishop'.

"But now, this problem has become your unique advantage."

The "Original Witch" is unwilling to allow female witches to advance to Sequence 3? No wonder the Witch Cult has been suppressing and hunting down female witches, and I, a "Desperate" witch who jumped from a female hunter, took advantage of the opportunity... Elaine suddenly realized and immediately understood what Angel meant:
"My ascension ceremony can be used as bait?"

As expected of a former "conspirator", he has a very flexible mind... Angel nodded approvingly, but also reminded:
“Although the promotion will be carried out under strict protection, the ‘Original Witch’ may very likely descend directly, and I will not force you to take that risk.

“If you choose to advance to ‘Immortality’, I will provide you with extraordinary characteristics and auxiliary materials to help you complete the ritual and reconcile with your ‘Mirror Man’… In addition, if things go well, you can freely choose a hunter or a witch when you advance to an angel, and you don’t have to worry about the issue of extraordinary characteristics.” This is equivalent to being promoted to an angel… The Sauron family has only produced one angel in the past two hundred years… Elaine was a little dazed for a moment. She never thought that she was just a low-sequence extraordinary person whose family was burdened with huge debts and had to come to the sea to venture a few years ago, but now she can consider being promoted to an angel.

Of course, she could also hear the danger of this matter from Angel's tone, and guessed that the other party was plotting against the true god "Original Witch". If it succeeded, there would certainly be many benefits. If it failed, Elaine, who was not even an angel, would inevitably lose her life if she was involved.

After thinking for a long time, she carefully considered her tone and asked:

"If I'm not willing to take the risk, do you have any other options?"

"Yes, but much worse than you."

Angel answered immediately.

In the plan to bring out the "Original Witch", the second choice for Elaine, the female witch, is Tracy's sister, Laura Pellet, the daughter of the "White Saint". However, she is not even a "pain" witch at present. Even if Angel paves the way for her, it will be a daunting task to be promoted to "despair" and digest all the potions in a short period of time.

Like this… Elaine lowered her eyes, her gaze wandering in the gaps between the dark stone slabs on the ground. After a moment, she raised her head and answered firmly:

“I’m willing to take those risks.”

This surprised Angel:
"I thought you would think about it for a long time, or just refuse."

Elaine shook her head, and the expression on her face gradually became resolute:

"I left Intis and came to the sea to take risks in exchange for high returns. Now it's just another 'adventure'.

"And everything I have now was given by you. If it weren't for your help, I might have been captured when I escaped from the Black Death. That would have been a different story... And now, she and I are both Sequence 4 witches of Despair, and we even have the opportunity to go further.

“So, I’m willing to take the risk.”

As expected, he is the "hunter" of the Sauron family... No, in the future the Sauron family may be the "witch" family... Angel smiled with some emotion, turned around and left his church.

Elaine stared blankly at Angel's back as he disappeared into the mirror world. Her face showed some nervousness and anticipation, but no regret or fear.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind the statue of St. Angelica. She was wearing a heavy bishop's robe, her face hidden in the shadow of her hood, and she walked slowly, as if crawling.

"Tracy?" Elaine turned around and immediately recognized her. "You were listening?"

"Your Miss Angelica has already noticed that."

The former pirate general, now the Archbishop of the Witch Church, took off his hood to reveal the face that countless believers were fascinated with. He muttered in a low voice, then changed the subject and asked aggressively:
"Why would you agree to something like this?"

"That's an angel, Tracy." Elaine replied calmly, "It means a long life, the honor of the family, and the power to protect those around them."

The person next to her...Looking at Elaine's burning gaze, Tracy was speechless for a moment.

"My sister... She was a woman who inherited the extraordinary characteristic of 'Assassin'. She was exiled because of this incident. I know that mother wanted to protect her, but..."

Tracy murmured, walking towards Elaine and hugging her.

Somewhat surprised by the vulnerable side of this former male witch, Elaine stiffly hugged the other woman with her backhand and sighed softly:

"I understand the dangers, but everything has a price."

She looked up at the statue of bare feet and held up the lightning and fire representing "disaster" with her hands, wondering what she was thinking.

----

After traveling to many places to arrange follow-up matters, Angel came to Trier again, and met the "Law Master" Yalishia Tamara, with whom he had not contacted for a long time, in a luxurious villa in the hot spring area.

The young woman with black hair and gray eyes was still wearing the patchwork dress that made Angel feel uncomfortable. One side was in the serious and classical Quaternary style, while the other side had many popular elements of the Fifth Period, as if representing the essence of the Tamara family's multiple splits, gradually moving towards different beliefs and paths.

Dressing like this might be a little weird in Loen, but it’s a little conservative in the fashion capital of Trier... My "weather wizard" is almost being corrupted by the atmosphere of this city, and now looks like a gangster... Angel made a few sharp comments in his mind, skipped the greetings and quickly asked:
"Have you found your target?"

She certainly didn't come here to have a tryst with the other party this time, but she planned to use the information channels of the Tamara family to capture an important senior member of the "Mirror Man" and thereby obtain information about the "leader" behind them.

Of course, for Tamara's family, eliminating the "man in the mirror" is also an important goal. Otherwise, members of this family may be replaced by their own people in the mirror at any time and become part of the other party.

Therefore, after many contacts with Angel and establishing initial trust, Alishia came to Trier first to gather information and make preparations for this operation.

Sure enough, after Angel asked the question, Yalishia's extremely symmetrical but expressionless head nodded slightly and said:
"After a dragnet search of people carrying 'Mirror World Fragments' and secret intelligence gathering, we have discovered the whereabouts of a hidden 'Mirror Man'.

“He is a descendant of the branch of the Tamara bloodline, Moran Avni, who was elected Minister of Industry after the previous government that started the war was ousted.

"There are multiple 'Mirror People' secretly protecting him, which means he is very likely holding important secrets."

"Very good," Angel smiled with satisfaction, "Where is he now?"

She had no intention of lying in wait, gradually gaining control of Moran Avni's movements, and then secretly kidnapping him late at night.

Sequence 5 is sneaking around in Trier, and Sequence 2 is still sneaking around in Trier, so didn’t her promotion go in vain?
