Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 31: Tarot Club Gathering (Part )
"Okay. So, if I find out that the craftsman wants to leave Backlund during this time, should I continue to follow him?"

Altaïr did not ask where the other party wanted to go or how long it would take for him to return. He did not ask about his employer's affairs if he could. Although Miss Audrey seemed to be quite reasonable, she was a powerful demigod after all. The more she knew about events of this level, the more misfortune it would bring.

"If he leaves, find out when, where, how, and where he's going." Audrey nodded slightly. "Someone will come to pick me up soon. We still have five minutes before that. You can ask some questions that interest you, such as our organization and the mystical knowledge that you don't understand."

"I trust your judgment on these matters."

Altaïr spoke humbly.

"In addition, the contact person of the Witch Cult came to contact me yesterday, and I have agreed to become a member of its peripheral organization, the 'Gnosis Society'."

"That bar owner?" Audrey laughed softly. "I know... I was observing you remotely at the time. If she wanted to harm you, I could directly influence her from a distance."

Altaïr was shocked. So, his every move in Backlund was under Miss Audrey's surveillance... Then, what about Sister Vesper's commission...

"I don't intend to interfere too much in the matter of that nun." Audrey saw through what Altaïr was thinking and spoke directly when he hesitated. "But that doesn't mean I don't care about it. The same goes for the officials. Even though she is the favored one of the God of War and the quasi-favored one of the Mother Earth, it is not easy for the officials to deal with her, but necessary surveillance is still necessary."

"But you don't need to worry. I have dealt with the cognition of the relevant personnel. Otherwise, Miss Venata would have been pinned down by the Nighthawks when she returned home yesterday."

Audrey waved her hand, and the maid standing beside her came over and brought her a cup of coffee. She lifted a corner of her veil and took a sip, sticking out her tongue playfully:

"I still can't get used to this coffee that costs 2 pounds per pound...it's too bitter."

She loosened her grip, letting the cup float in the air, took the sugar jar handed to her by Altaïr, and added two pieces of pure white sugar.

"However, what I want to tell you is that although Miss Venata's storytelling ability is average, what Sister Vespe said is basically true... At least, she thinks it is true."

"I went to her dream to confirm it once, and I have to say that she is really a devout nun, much more devout than most of us. Her attitude towards the God of War is not just reverence for the gods, but also includes attachment to her father, respect for her teacher, etc. It can be said that the God of War in her heart gathers all the positive emotions that humans can have."

Audrey's words were filled with regret.

"It's a pity that the God of War has fallen."

The moment he heard this, Altaïr was so shocked that he wanted to kneel down and pray. Fortunately, Audrey immediately adjusted his mental state, which allowed him to stay calm.

"But, that is a god?" Altaïr trembled. "How can anyone kill a god?"

"Of course, it was another god, or several others..." Audrey said mysteriously, "But it's hard for us to really confirm this. After all, what kind of methods a god has, and how to truly defeat a god, these are not what we should or can understand. So, I hope you can confirm this through this experience."

"This is crazy..."

Altaïr shook his head like a rattle. "Breaking into the kingdom of a true god? Can you withstand the oppression of the kingdom of God with just that one magical item?"

"Indeed." Unexpectedly, Audrey confirmed this point straightforwardly. "I tried to divine the origin of that item yesterday. Although I got a glimpse of it, it also cost me a lot."

After saying that, she reached out and took off her veil, revealing half of her fair face underneath.

When he saw that half face, Altaïr's pupils shrank instantly. The other person's face had soft lines and fair skin. If it were complete, it would really be a pleasure to look at.

The premise is, "if it is complete."

The skin, flesh, and bones of Miss Audrey's upper face disappeared, leaving only an illusory concept, forming a light blue transparent human figure. Only a pair of emerald eyes remained intact, staring at Altaïr to prevent him from losing control on the spot. Although the human figure was also very beautiful, shining like a star, this glance still made Altaïr's spirit boil instantly, and tiny tentacles like goose bumps grew uncontrollably on his body!

Fortunately, Miss Audrey quickly pulled up the veil, and then a gentle voice sounded in Altaïr's heart, calming his restless astral body, etheric body, and mental body, and the changes in his body disappeared. The veil seemed to have a sealing effect, so that her incomplete mythical state would not affect reality.

"I originally wanted to use that item to confirm His condition myself. To this end, I made what I thought was the most thorough preparation. Even if it was a true Level 0 Sealed Item - ah, an item at the level of an angel - I would not be harmed in the slightest."

Audrey said with some self-mockery, "But I soon paid the price for my short-sightedness. That holy emblem was not an angel-level relic, but a genuine part of the God of War!"

"So, I have temporarily lost a part of my body... But don't worry, for a being of my level, as long as I don't attract His direct hostility, I will be able to recover within a week if it is only this degree."

"So, this seal is enough to help you resist most threats from the Twilight Kingdom... I have also done divination on this point and confirmed that there is no problem. In addition, I have also dealt with this necklace. You can return it to Miss Venata. At present, its side effects have been completely eliminated by me. It will not leave a permanent impact. It will only confuse the user's sense of time after using it for a certain period of time."

Audrey slowly stood up and handed over the ruby ​​necklace. "I hope you can finish your exploration before the party next Monday. I should be leaving soon."

"Wait a moment!" Altaïr suddenly remembered something. "What if we don't find any useful information for Sister Vespe when we explore tomorrow?"

Audrey stopped and thought for a while, then said slowly:

"If that's the case, you can tell her that you are a believer of the Goddess of Night."

I am a follower of the Goddess of Night? What does this mean? Altaïr was confused for a moment. Did he let her think that I was an official Beyonder and use this to threaten her? No matter how Altaïr thought about it, it didn't seem right. However, Miss Audrey had disappeared into thin air.

Wait, is the only question Sister Vespe wants to know about the God of War's status? Altaïr suddenly remembered what Sister Vespe had said earlier.

"A traitor like me is not qualified to enter His Kingdom of God. When I hold the Holy Emblem, I can feel that it rejects me..."

Could it be that Sister Vesper could not enter the world connected by the Holy Symbol of Dusk not because the God of War blamed her for abandoning her faith, but because she was not a believer of the goddess? But why did the God of War's kingdom not allow the God of War's followers to enter, but welcomed a believer of the goddess like me?
Altaïr covered his mouth with his hands, almost knocking over the cup. The maid beside him hurriedly came forward to ask if there was anything wrong, and there was a commotion.

Waving the maid away, Altaïr forced himself to suppress his heartbeat that was pounding with shock.

Could it be that Miss Audrey meant that the Goddess of Night killed the God of War? But Venata was clearly a believer of the Mother Earth... Oh, by the way, when I asked who could kill God, Miss Audrey answered "Maybe, there is more than one God"!
The reason she let me in this time was to obtain further information. After all, we don't know the methods of the God of Killing, so it is difficult to determine whether the other party has been completely killed... just like a reader who doesn't know where the writer lives has no way of determining whether the writer is writing books honestly at home!
Altaïr slumped down in his chair, feeling that he had absorbed too much shocking information in a short period of time.

After a while, Ms. Lolota walked out of the box refreshed, followed by a maid whose face was so red that blood seemed to drip out. Her clothes were a little messy and her breathing was much heavier.

"What's wrong, Altaïr? Why are you so listless in such a nice place?"

Lolota greeted Altaïr. As she spoke, the maid behind her let out a short, low scream, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and then hurriedly ran into the kitchen in small steps.

"I said, just now a demigod-level strong man passed by and had a cup of coffee with me, and told me the secrets of the God of War. Would you believe it?"

Altaïr sighed inwardly for the maid and responded casually.

"You are so humorous."

Lolota was stunned for a moment, then laughed with Altaïr.

……

At the same time, Audrey paused while walking in the alley. She tilted her head slightly, with the corner of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was talking to someone.

"This deal is settled. I will help your Church of Mother Earth to confirm news about Him. In return, you also need to help me confirm the news about 'Him' that I'm looking for..."
