Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 346 It’s late at night

"February 2, sunny, assassinations are still happening, but the boiler will be repaired soon."

In the captain's room, Adele recorded what happened today in her navigation diary.

Since she was now living in the same room with Tracy, who had moved in temporarily, many of the things she wanted to do had to be put on hold.

"Tomorrow, the power system of the 'Snow Wind' will be able to operate normally, and it will be less than a day's journey from Aleser."

Adele bit the pen twice subconsciously and continued writing in her diary: "Those attackers hiding in the dark are silently replacing my crew and forcing me to drive the ship back to the port."

Although she didn't know what they wanted to do in Port Berens, Adele didn't want to let them do as they wished.

"The experience of the past few days has proven that the gems left by Miss Audrey can indeed act as observers and suppress their appearance to a certain extent, so the contents of this diary should be kept secret from them."

"I had been so careful to avoid landmarks as we sailed that these guys had no idea where they were before we could see the horizon."

According to the theory proposed by Emperor Roselle, people outside cannot know the life or death of the cat inside, but the cat inside cannot observe the external environment in turn when its state is uncertain.

In other words, if they don't reveal their true form in the real world, they won't be able to confirm where they are actually.

In addition, when they are invisible, they cannot interact with the materials in the real world and do not obey the physical rules of reality. Therefore, Adele boldly guessed that when they are invisible, they cannot move with the ship.

It may sound a little scary, but maybe they are out of sight of Adele and everyone else, or maybe they are standing quietly behind a crew member, waiting for them to let down their guard, and then kill the crew member and replace him; before the crew turns around, they will disappear like ghosts and appear in another corner.

Adele had heard of this ability before at the Tarot Club. The demigods called this ability "informatization," which was one of the high-sequence abilities of the "Mystery Voyeur" pathway. It allowed one's body to be transformed into an information stream, and based on the annotations attached to the information stream, one could acquire certain characteristics.

If I'm not mistaken, the content of the deal between the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the "Hidden Sage" is likely to contain the principle of this ability...

Adele analyzed it in her mind and wrote it down in her notebook.

The Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom analyzed the abilities of the Hidden Sages, and traded records of the theories proposed by Emperor Roselle from the Iron Cross of Intis. They added an "unobservable" effect to the ability of informatization, and then spread the method of "informatization" around the world. Perhaps this is their way of dealing with doomsday... maybe?
Combining information from various sources, Adele gradually sorted out her thoughts.

In fact, the purpose of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom does not seem to be hidden very deeply. It is not difficult to guess. However, in order to draw this conclusion, a lot of prerequisites must be met.

For example, the private cooperation between the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom and the "Hidden Sage", the secret communication with Intis, combined with the disappearance of the poor in Feysac, the widely spread of the Transformed Holy Emblem of Knowledge and other phenomena, after understanding these knowledge, and then inferring the possible means and attitudes of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom based on His situation, it is possible to get the correct answer.

However, this conjecture only solves one aspect of the purpose of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, but it is still unknown what benefits have been promised to forces such as the Iron-Blooded Cross and the Hidden Sages who cooperate with the church.

Adele took a deep breath, picked up the pen and added two strokes to the relationship diagram she had just sorted out, put a question mark next to the Iron Cross, and noted "Purpose is questionable."

After doing all this, she walked to her bed, leaned against the wall, and stared at the sea view outside the porthole in a daze.

What price can the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom offer to satisfy the Iron Cross?
As she pondered, Adele naturally recalled the discussion about the Sealed Artifact "0-01" of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom at a Tarot meeting not long ago.

Although the discussion failed to conclude what effect "0-01" had, it was basically confirmed that it was the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" pathway, and it was very likely to have been contaminated by the source material.

According to Miss Judgment's investigation, the Iron Cross possesses a "Conqueror" trait in the form of a magical item. However, there are no angels in this organization for the time being. Neither the "Conqueror" trait nor the "Red Priest" uniqueness can take effect immediately after they get it.

Now that the end of the world is approaching, the Iron Cross has obtained some benefits that are difficult to digest in a short period of time, which does not seem to be a good thing... Or have they found someone to digest these benefits?
Adele was a little excited. She felt that she had found the key to the problem. She had always been treated as a chess piece and finally had the opportunity to overlook the entire chessboard.

Are there still angels of the "Hunter" path existing now?
The answer is yes. Alger, who had experienced the naval battle, said that the supreme commander of the Sonia Sea War Zone of the Feysac Empire, Ahomatowa Einhorn, was a Sequence 2 "Weather Sorcerer". If Feysac had won that war, then "He" could have completed the ritual and used the "Conqueror" characteristic mastered by the Einhorn family of Feysac to advance to Sequence 1, reaching the same realm as the "Founder" William Augustus.

However, the war he commanded failed. Not only did the Feysac army fail to complete the conquest of the Sonia Sea area, but it was driven out of the Sonia Sea area by the combination of Loen's ironclad warships and arbitrators.

With Feysac's current national strength, even if he wanted to start another war for the sake of promotion, it would not be allowed by all parties. The Goddess Church and the Mother Goddess Church would directly beat him to death.

In addition, the evil spirit of the "Red Angel" that has been mentioned many times in Tarot Clubs, Soren Einhorn Medici, is said to have restored his angel status and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

Who will the Iron Cross place its bets on?

Adele's face gradually turned ugly because the answer was so obvious that it required almost no thought.

Ahomatovar Einhorn had just lost a battle and was an angel from a defeated country, so it was almost impossible for him to have a chance of successful promotion. In comparison, Medici, as the former king of angels, had experience and was more likely to make further progress on the road to becoming a god!
Moreover, as two defeated nations in the last world war, the transaction between Intis's Iron Cross and Ahomatowa Einhorn of the Feysac royal family represented far more serious implications in the eyes of Loen and the Goddess Church than the Iron Cross's connection with the Red Angel, and was likely to cause a fierce backlash from the two major churches.

The red of the "Red Priest" stands for "Red of War". If one wants to complete the ceremony of advancement to Sequence One, one must fight.

Where else on the road can there be battles to be fought?
"Southern Continent..." Adele almost moaned, uttering the word in some pain.

Medici wants to be promoted to Sequence 1 "Conqueror", and the only place where he can complete the ritual is the Southern Continent!
As for whether Medici dared to return to the southern continent to cause trouble under the noses of the Loen military and the two major churches, Adele had no doubt, because she knew that the Sequence 8 of the Hunter Path was called "Provocateur"...

After many twists and turns, I am back to the center of the storm...

Regardless of Tracy's surprise beside her, Adele resisted the urge to cover her face with her hands and felt her stomach cramping.

The only consolation is that although the number of angel characteristics in different sequences is different, both "Conqueror" and "Witch of Doom" have only three copies, just like "Servant of Mysteries".

The Einhorn family's copy, which had been "tried" and confirmed in many aspects, was still in the hands of the Feysac Empire's royal family. In other words, no matter how Medici operated, he could only become an angel king who had mastered the uniqueness and two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, and his strength was not much stronger than his peak period.

However, despite the fact, Adele always felt that with the paranoid character of Medici and the Iron Cross, it was unlikely that they would mobilize so many troops just for such a small purpose. They might have been planning to seize the "Conqueror" in the hands of the Feysac royal family, and the recent thoughts that appeared in Feysac were most likely a sign of their taking action!
I have to find a way to convey this information to Venata and Miss Audrey through the Tarot Club, and let them find a way to convey this news to the Feysac officials in their own way...

Adele made up her mind quickly, but there was no need to hesitate on this point.

If it was a true god from other paths, it would be fine, but as the two paths corresponding to the City of Disaster, whether it is the deification ceremony of "Witch" or "Hunter", it will bring disaster to the entire continent.

If the end of the world was not approaching, then everything could still be negotiated. After all, time can heal all wounds. However, since those creatures underground broke free from their shackles and headed for the starry sky, the revitalized City of Disaster has been tampering with the seal, which has greatly shortened the time for the end of the world.

If we shake the anchors of most gods now in order to add a new true god, it will not be worth it... You know, in the battle with the outer gods, the loss of anchors is inevitable. Consuming the anchors of the gods too early will make them hesitate at the last moment.

In addition, we must remind Mr. Moon and Mr. Star to be careful, as the Red Angel may have already arrived near them...

Closing the notebook, Adele looked out the window. It was a clear sky on a sunny day, but now it was covered with dark clouds, even the light of the red moon was obscured. There were a few seagulls flying close to the sea surface in panic. A storm was coming.

Adele wanted to put the notebook back into the drawer, but when she opened the drawer, the first thing she saw was a new note. The bright red handwriting on it was clear even when it was turned upside down.

Adele picked up the note. At the same time, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky outside the window, followed by rumbling thunder. The sound of Adele reading the note was drowned out by the thunder.

The note, unlike the previous two times, did not specify the number of stars;

The palm-sized note was covered with stars, densely packed, one on top of another!
On the countless crimson five-pointed stars, there is a line of short, small words written in bold black carbon pencil, which is shocking.

"It's late at night."

……

The camp of the Loen Church expeditionary force in the northern part of the Harvest Plains.

Leonard stood by the fence outside the barracks, breathing the fresh air of the plains at night.

Although this place was far away from the Hagati Prairie, Leonard always had the illusion that he could still smell the burnt odor of the burned prairie, as if he was still in the midst of the raging fire.

Looking back at the "Sword of Judgment" flag flying in the middle of the camp not far away, and the "Fire Giant" flag next to it that symbolized Lieutenant General Avila, Leonard felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

Working with the "Founder" William Augustus and fighting against the "divine evil" Sua who was also at Sequence 1 was already a headache. Now there was another lurking Red Angel evil spirit and "weather wizard" Medici. Leonard, as the only insider in the entire army, felt a lot of pressure.

If Leonard didn't have a Sequence 2 "Trojan Horse of Fate" Pales Zoroast in his body, he would have worried whether he could hold on.

On a small piece of fertile plain, there were actually four angels fighting each other...

Leonard sighed, feeling a little sick to his stomach.

Medici's purpose was clear. Anyone who knew him knew that he came to the southern continent to find an opportunity to be promoted to Sequence One. However, Leonard could not pass this valuable information to the Tarot Club because the other party was standing not far from him. Leonard had not found a chance to be alone since yesterday.

In the previous battle, Leonard saved his men, while Soren Einhorn Medici, who used the alias of Avila, burned the Hagati Steppe to block the pursuers. As a result, both of them were commended by William Augustus and were placed on the front line of the counterattack.

With such an angel who is good at catching clues around him, Leonard did not dare to connect to the gray fog casually, for fear that the other party would see something. It was difficult for the old man to protect himself in his current state.

——When William Augustus was here, the Church of Fools, the Church of the Goddess, and the royal family reached a certain degree of tacit understanding, and William Augustus would turn a blind eye to the actions of Leonard and Emlyn.

But Medici and Leonard did not have this kind of tacit understanding. It would be good if Medici knew Leonard's identity and did not stab him in the back.
