Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1299 Meeting
3500 pounds...

Hearing this number, Angel felt a little happy.

As early as two years ago when she returned to Backlund and looked for a suitable house, she learned from Laura how horrible the housing prices in this city were. The house left by her fake "aunt" Severia was worth 15000 pounds, and those with gardens and better living environments in Queens even cost more than 30000 pounds. Even if it was rented, it would cost several thousand pounds a year, not including the salaries of various servants and the expenses of consumables.

Although Hillston is not as wealthy as Queens and the West End, housing prices have continued to rise in recent years. If it weren't for the double blow of smog and war, even with Audrey's connections, it would have been impossible to buy a three-story house with a garden and stables for only 3500 pounds.

Although it may sound a bit cold-blooded to say this, the war did save me a lot of money on this matter... She thought wistfully.

Audrey, who was sitting behind the desk, misunderstood the reason for Angel's silence. She thought that this angel, who often showed his love for money in the Tarot Club, was not happy with this, so she quickly added:
“In fact, all the funds for the purchase came from the profits of your Iris Winery in the past two years, including the sales of wine and the transactions of surrounding land… In fact, in the year and a half before and after the war, the assets of the estate have appreciated by more than 30%. In addition to buying the house on Birningham Road, the rest was invested in the charity fund according to your instructions.

"In addition, the industries in which you hold shares have also entered a healthy development under the management of Miss Sherman. After the war is over and Backlund's production and consumption are gradually getting back on track, I think you can appropriately expand the scale of your industry and save some money for yourself."

The factory in the East District... I seem to have not paid attention to the industries I invested in for a while... Angel was dazed for a moment, and found that apart from "Black Bear Coke" and those canned fruits, he didn't know much about the industries under his name, and couldn't help but ask:
“Which industries?”

"Three beverage processing plants, four canning plants, a machinery manufacturing plant, a pharmaceutical company, a trading company that specializes in selling products produced by the above-mentioned plants, and an affiliated fleet..."

Audrey, who had been secretly caring for "Christine's friend Miss Sherman", listed all of Angel's properties and said:

"Based on last month's sales forecast, these properties will bring you a profit of more than £30 this year."

30 pounds...Angel's eyes gradually lit up.

This is worth much more than the pirates!

She didn't discriminate against those pirate generals and pirate kings, but even if the "Death Notice" and its shipload of wanted criminals were packaged together and handed over to the authorities, it would only be worth 15 pounds, which was just half a year's profit from her own industries.

As for pirates of Agaritu's level, they can be counted on one hand in the Five Seas. Most of them have backers. For example, the "Mysterious Queen" has now become an angel, and her father has been resurrected as a true god. There is a high probability that Adam is behind the "King of the Black Throne"...

No wonder the "Death Announcement" disappeared after I robbed it and never appeared again. Compared with other kings, it is indeed not so impressive... Fortunately, I don't need to rely on robbing pirates to make money anymore... Thinking that his wallet will gradually swell over time, Angel showed a heartfelt smile on his face.

It's not that she is a money-grubber. After becoming an angel, Angel's desire for gold pounds has weakened a lot. But as the founder of the Witch Church, even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to consider the funds needed for the church to spread its faith and expand its influence.

Anyway, they are all mine...

Seeing Angel's smile, Audrey also laughed happily and continued:

"Also, the St. Therese Church in the west district near the Sodrak Palace has been completed. I heard that the witch that Your Majesty once loved is the one who presides over that church?"

Not only in the past, but also now... Didn't Triss apply to come to Backlund to establish a new parish just for her lover... Angel muttered and nodded without further explanation.

Although the Witch Church had obtained the Goddess's consent to build a church in Backlund, and Storm and Steam had acquiesced to it, she was not a true god after all, so it was not appropriate to publicize it.

After asking Audrey about the digestion level of the "Manipulator" potion and whether Susie could be promoted to Sequence 5, Angel left the office building of the Loen Charity Student Aid Fund and walked into the large prayer hall of Saint Samuel Church where believers were constantly coming in and out.

Before he could find an empty bench to sit down, Angel noticed a tall old man in a black archbishop's robe walking towards him.

He stood out among the believers, whose average height was about 1.7 meters. His robe was tight, revealing the outline of his muscles underneath. Angel was reminded of Father Utravsky of the Church of Mother Earth. But when she moved her eyes to his face, she was surprised to find that this archbishop, who was about the same height as the people of Feysac, was actually Saint Anthony Stevenson.

What on earth did he eat to grow so strong... Oh, the "Darkness" path can jump to the "Twilight Giant" path. Could it be that because of the tension in the characteristics of the same path, Archbishop Anthony was promoted to the "Glory One"? Could it be that he used the characteristics of the Patriarch Larion of the Church of the God of War that I sacrificed... Angel, who was spiritually aware and a little wary of the angel in front of him, thought.

The archbishop was a head taller than before, and his appearance would likely continue to change as the potion was digested. The darkness surrounding him made all the believers passing by ignore his existence. He walked slowly until he stood in front of Angel. He smiled slightly, stretched out his strong arms, pointed out stars on his chest, and said in a deep voice:
“Your Highness Angel, the goddess has issued an oracle, asking me to wait for you here.” It feels so wonderful to be called “Your Highness” by an angel... The archbishop must have learned from the goddess that I have been promoted to Sequence 1, which also means that the fall of the “Original Witch” is no longer a secret... Angel’s mind was full of thoughts. He nodded calmly, and also drew stars on his chest, saying:

"Praise the Goddess, I need to pray to Him to provide me with a quiet room."

"plz follow me."

Anthony said, taking Angel through the large prayer hall and into the underground area of ​​the church, passing through the heavy iron door engraved with seven dark holy emblems that Angel was already familiar with, and stepping into the quiet corridor illuminated only by dim candlelight.

Seeing that Anthony's body was almost touching the ceiling above, Angel couldn't help but ask:
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I have heard that the three major churches in Backlund have an agreement with the royal family that stipulates that level 0 seals and angels cannot be stationed in this city for a long time?"

Anthony turned his head to look at her, and the wrinkle between his eyes was shadowed in the candlelight, as if it were a vertical eye.

"It used to be like that, but after what happened to King George III, all the major churches realized that it would be more convenient to have an angel stationed there to deal with similar situations. Moreover, with the end of the war, the activities of organizations that believe in evil gods have become more frequent, and there is a greater need for angels who can resist pollution to guard this metropolis of five million people."

So, Storm and Steam also did something similar. I'm afraid some of the angels who noticed my arrival today are from the three major churches... Angel was thoughtful and followed Anthony's guidance to an empty office.

As the tall "Glory One" closed the door and left, Angel sat in front of the stone wall engraved with the holy emblem of darkness, bowed his head and recited the name of the Goddess of Night, and then waited for His response.

Before long, an irresistible drowsiness surrounded Angel. She closed her eyes naturally and felt her body floating lightly and landing on a piece of soft soil.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself in a plain surrounded by darkness. Deep sleeping flowers and night-blooming herbs were growing vigorously under her feet, and the velvety night sky above her head was dotted with twinkling stars.

The eternal resting place of devout believers after death, "The Kingdom of Deep Darkness", is described in detail in the "Apocalypse of Night" of the Church of Night... After receiving the blessings of the Goddess many times, experiencing the power of the "River of Eternal Darkness", and having the "feminine aspect of the Primeval Creator" sealed in his body, Angel can clearly feel that he is in a dream, but he does not have spiritual alertness or inner doubts. Instead, he feels the peace and tranquility surrounded by darkness.

When this feeling of calming the mind reached its peak, a figure walked out from the darkness. She was a woman with a nice figure and a serene expression. She wore a layered yet simple black dress. Her steps were slow and silent, as if she was gliding among the flowers and plants.

Not knowing whether to address the time traveler by her name or continue to address her as the noble Goddess of Night, Angel could only bow his head in silence.

"No need to greet each other, and this is not the first time we have really met," the goddess of night said in a soft voice, "In fact, I, Grisha, and even the world, all want to thank you for your efforts."

I should thank Angel Gray, the other me... I just followed your plan blindly, and only recently understood everything... Angel sighed inwardly, shook his head and said:
"But the crisis has not been resolved, and it has even become more difficult to resist. I heard that another Outer God has come outside the barrier. She is called the 'Goddess of Fate', the eldest daughter of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess', and controls the river of fate."

"The weaver of all things' fate, the symbol of the final judgment, the goddess of the eternal future." The goddess of night said faintly, "I already knew of His existence, but I didn't expect Him to come to Earth so soon. Even if we solve the 'Uncertain Fog', we still have to face the nine Old Ones."

The goddess' words made Angel fall back into the negative mood she had been in a while ago. She forced a smile and said:
"Perhaps it is because there are exactly nine Elementiums in the Earth. This is the arrangement of fate. Fortunately, if we can make all nine Elementiums have their owners, then we can also have nine Old Ones, and among them there are two 'Pillars', while the Outer Gods only have one."

Of course, this premise is that Klein can defeat Amon and obtain the Sequence 1 characteristics and uniqueness of the adjacent path. The "True Creator" Grisha Adam takes back the characteristics of his three angel kings, and lifts the seal of the Western Continent before the end of the world and releases the other seven source substances.

If there is even the slightest mistake, the Earth will face overwhelming disadvantages.

As Angel added these "conditions" in her mind, the Goddess of Night laughed and calmed her down with her soft voice:

"Don't worry, we still have plenty of time. Besides, there are more than three 'pillars' as you know.

"In the research of 'Ancient Sun God' Grisha, there is an implicit fourth pillar in this universe."

PS: There was a power outage at home yesterday. I wanted to write at work in the evening, but I was too busy. I had to postpone last night's chapter...
