Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1254 It’s time to begin
Tracy gently pinched the ice crystal charm between her thumb and index finger. The expression on her face changed and her eyes wandered, as if she was pinching her most precious treasure.

She knew that as long as she applied a little force with her fingers and infused spirituality into it, the fragile talisman would immediately shatter and a message would be spread through the mirror world.

That's all it was for her.

This would not violate the laws of this city, nor would it be discovered by Elaine in the other room. She didn't even need to do it at this time. She could wait until late at night.

But for Elaine, this information could mean the difference between life and death.

"Alas... my life is ruined by her."

Tracy suddenly sighed, muttered something, and carefully placed the talisman back into the depths of the mirror space. She rubbed her fingers, feeling the icy temperature remaining on her fingertips, just like her mood at the moment.

But when the witch of "despair" with complicated emotions was about to leave, her spirit was suddenly touched. She looked up in surprise and found a figure slowly passing through the roof. First, there was the hem of an intricate and gorgeous long skirt, then four heads with long golden hair held in two hands, and finally the upper body of a headless lady.

The creatures from the spiritual world... are very powerful... Tracy came to the conclusion quickly, but she couldn't understand what was happening before her eyes, because she was in the "City of Dreams" Patis, and among the many laws of this city there were regulations prohibiting traveling through the spiritual world and trespassing into private areas.

This lady in front of me, who I don't know whether to say is headless or has four heads, has violated at least three laws just by appearing here!
It won’t be long before the dark golden ribbon representing the city’s will appears out of nowhere and kidnaps the gloomy-looking lady.

Therefore, Tracy did not do anything radical, but asked cautiously:
"Who are you please?"

The four heads in the headless woman's hands opened their eight blood-red eyes, staring at her closely, and then spoke one by one:

"I see..." "You are going to..." "Use..." "The spell..."

She saw it... Tracy's heart tightened, and she said with an unchanged expression:
"You should know that this city does not allow spiritual beings to freely travel around, and it also prohibits peeping and trespassing. Moreover, this is St. Angelica Church, a sacred place dedicated to the patron angel..."

Before she finished her words, she saw four heads showing strange smiles, and a feeling of panic and fear filled Tracy's body from head to toe like ice water.

"I know..." "But I have..." "Special permission..."

Three of the heads spoke, and the last one opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue with a pale mucous membrane. On it was a golden mark of "sword and shield overlapping, balance in the middle".

At first Tracy thought it was printed directly on the tongue, but when she looked closely she found that it was an exquisite talisman, which was just held in the mouth of the silent head. Moreover, the golden ribbon representing the will of the law never appeared, which indirectly confirmed the other party's words.

There is no doubt that this powerful spiritual creature is either a distinguished guest of this city or a new law enforcer.

After realizing this, Tracy gave up resistance completely. Even if she could defeat this powerful creature that could travel through the spirit world at will with the power of Sequence 4, where could she escape to? The governor stationed in this city was an angel, and most of the time there was even more than one!
"This matter has nothing to do with Elaine. You can take me away and punish me however you want," she said in self-abandonment, taking out the ice crystal charm and handing it to the other party. "Be careful, once the charm is damaged, my mother, the 'White Saint' Katarina, will sense it."

One of the heads of the headless lady swallowed the spell in one gulp and immediately spoke:

"The law..." "will not punish..." "No fault of..." "has not been committed..."

"You guys..." "The agreement..." "What is the content..."

The head that had just displayed the "special permission" opened its mouth, and found that it had nothing to say. It shook it angrily, knocking the other head that had interrupted the conversation to the side.

Looking at the heads swaying like fruits on the top of a coconut tree, Tracy frowned and answered honestly:
"Mother said that if Elaine Soren tried to become an 'ageless' witch, she should crush the spell and let her know that she would not need to do anything else and could survive by just staying here.

"She said that this was also to save Elaine's life, but... I don't quite believe her words. This might affect Elaine..."

From the conversation between Angelica and Elaine, Tracy knew that female witches would face certain dangers when they advanced to Sequence 3, but if they could get through it safely, they would have the opportunity to be promoted to angels.

After Elaine expressed her determination, she was unwilling to be the villain who destroyed the other person's dream.

As for the feud between the "Original Witch" and Angelica, and the gods behind them, Tracy didn't want to get involved at all.

What surprised her was that after getting her answer, the four heads of the headless lady in black dress nodded one by one, then disappeared into the spirit world and disappeared without a trace.

She didn't take me away... Tracy stared blankly at the direction where the other person left. After a moment, she slumped in the chair as if she had lost all her strength.

As soon as Renette Tinicole entered the spirit world and prepared to go to the center of the city to the city hall to hand over the talisman she had just confiscated to the "Balancer" who looked like a girl but was older than herself, she realized that the rules of the spirit world had changed. Her speed of traveling through it had slowed down significantly, as if she had entered a viscous liquid.

He has already re-accommodated the extraordinary characteristics of the "ancient evil" and found his most important heart. His strength is almost the same as before his death. Even another angel cannot restrict him in traveling through the spirit world. The rules of the spirit world within this city have changed... Reinette reacted immediately and left the colorful spirit world with confusing directions and distances, and fell into a tree-lined street.

The moment the figure appeared, the four heads in his hands returned to his neck and overlapped with each other, turning this powerful spiritual creature into a young lady with blonde hair, bright features and blood-red eyes.

She pulled at her black skirt that was dragging on the ground with some discomfort, took a step forward, and walked forward following the guidance of her spirit. She soon came to the intersection of two streets and stood in front of a beautifully framed notice.

There were already lines of ancient Fessac written in golden ink. Reinette noticed that there were more words constantly appearing below, as if an invisible pen was constantly adding content:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the acting governor of this city.

"According to the original consul's arrangement, I will be the one to formulate and enforce the laws of this city until the end of my term.

“I reiterate the following decree:
"The first rule is that the 'Brass Book of Trunsoest' is the most precious thing. No living being can touch it without permission. Violators will be sentenced to death.

“Second, the Honorable Miss Angel Granger may touch it at any time.

"Article 3..."

Renette's blood-red eyes quickly scanned the published laws and found that the restrictions related to "spiritual creatures" were no different from before, which was equivalent to repeating the set of laws that had been implemented before.

Logically speaking, with his immunity, he could continue to move freely in the spirit world and even enter most private areas without being punished.

But Renette soon discovered the problem. After the reiteration of this set of laws, the promulgator and executor had changed from the order force of the "Dream City" itself to the entity of "The Brass Book of Trunsost".

This means that the immunity granted to him by the "Balancer" is no longer valid, unless...

Just as He thought of this, a new rule appeared among the dense legal provisions:
"The Enforcers exempted by the previous Archon still have the same powers as before."

As this rule was promulgated, Renette immediately felt that the invisible barrier between herself and the spiritual world disappeared.

Strange, what's the point of doing this... He tilted his head, which felt a little heavy on his neck, and felt that everything was not simple.

----

In the town hall, Anne Gustave, wearing a simple white dress that seemed to never change and revealing her bare feet, sat on a high chair with her legs dangling in the air.

She played with the ice crystal charm that the messenger lady had just delivered to her, and looked at the "Brass Book of Trunsoest" placed on the desk, which kept turning the pages to form new legal provisions.

The latter had already turned to the last few pages. The thin brass pages were written in mercury-colored ancient Feysac language with provisions that were almost identical to the laws that the city had previously implemented.

As the speed of the emergence of writing became slower and slower, a strict law that had been tested over thousands of years and could intervene in all aspects gradually took shape.

Next to it was a golden kettle-like oil lamp with a wick extending from the mouth of the kettle, burning slowly.

Under Anne's fixed gaze, the brass book finally turned to the penultimate page, copied all the clauses, and posted them on notice boards throughout the city, giving them actual effect.

Then, under the illumination of the oil lamp's golden light as sticky as water, the book turned back to the front and turned to the regular pages written in gray-black characters.

"...When sanity drops to 20% of its original value, there will be signs of losing control...

"...This mirror person can also be promoted by taking magic potions, but the success rate is only 50% of the original body...

"...If one of the person in the mirror and the main body successfully ascends, the other will also synchronize to the corresponding state. The main body can block this transmission, but the person in the mirror cannot..."

These rules, printed like steel on the brass pages, began to gradually change state and become mercury.

After realizing this, Anne smiled with satisfaction and crushed the talisman she had seized from Tracy.

"Tell Angel it's time to start."

She looked up and spoke to someone unknown.
