Chapter 927 The Pursuit of the Mastermind. The Shoe Angels Drive Away Animal Protection
Raziel was quite pleased with himself: "Then I'll go to the Gem City Tavern later?"

Michael cautioned, "The main task on Turtle Island is to find the prince and help the mermaid break the curse of the Radiant Demon. It's too early for you to go now. Besides, it seems inconvenient for you to show yourself in front of ordinary players. Like I said before, get a disguise from the God Realm and go there."

Raziel sighed helplessly, "Fine."

Gabriel laughed and said, "In the end, it's just that Raziel is too lazy. He's been AFK for more than a month since the server opened, and he hasn't made any preparations."

Raziel said irritably, "Who would have known you could cause so much trouble? In just one month, it has affected my divine realm."

Sariel said in a deep voice, "It's all because of this Da Chun."

Raziel sighed helplessly.

After leaving the Demon Prison, Raziel headed to Sherlock's cell. The thought that Sherlock would surely cry and beg him to save him made Raziel feel a headache coming on.

"How about I go check on that Dark Soul Witch first?"

Sariel laughed and said, "Anyway, I don't want this Sherlock to go back to Silver City."

Raziel was also relieved: "Then let's go find the Dark Soul Witch."

Arriving at the Dark Soul Witch's cell, Raziel pressed the doorbell: "I am Raziel, a novice lawyer from the divine realm. I wish to see you, madam."

The voice from the cell was calm yet unexpected: "Please!"

Raziel entered, and the Dark Soul Witch before him was no longer the withered old woman he had seen before, but a young and beautiful soul. This contrast stunned Raziel!
The Dark Soul Witch laughed, "Don't let my appearance as a wicked old woman fool you. In my youth, I was a dancer. After becoming a mage, over a hundred handsome guards died for me."

Oh, she really wants to chat!

Raziel became interested: "Can you tell me your story?"

The Dark Soul Witch sighed, "Back then, when I was young, I studied at the Gem City Mage Academy during the day and worked as a dancer in the Gem City Tavern at night to earn high tuition fees. But I was too outstanding. Not only was I at the top of my class in the academy, but I was also very popular as a dancer. As a result, people on both sides were jealous of me. Then a fire broke out in the tavern, and I was severely injured and disfigured. I could no longer use my magic or continue working as a dancer. My jealous classmates even reported me, saying that I had disgraced the academy, and I was expelled from school."

"Just when I thought I would die of pain and starvation on the streets, I encountered a mysterious and powerful being. It healed my injuries and restored my magic, making me even stronger than before. So I served this powerful being, helping it collect dancers' souls and train them into succubi—Lawyer, are you curious about this powerful being's name? I'm sorry, I'm not sure. The organization is too tightly controlled. I've served it for decades and still don't know its name or even its gender. That's my story."

Raziel asked in surprise, "Under normal circumstances, strong beings are usually male. You say you don't know its gender, does that mean you already think it's not male, but female?"

The witch exclaimed, "As expected of the lawyer, that's exactly what I was thinking."

Raziel asked, "Do you know about the succubus organization Andariel in Gem City?"

The witch: "I know a little bit, but I'm not sure if they are my superiors."

Raziel said, "So, your uncertainty stems from already believing she is?"

Witch: "Yes, I have that idea."

Raziel said, "Actually, if it can be proven that your superior was the mastermind, and you are devout enough, you can atone for your sins in advance."

The witch said in a muffled voice, "I can't prove it. I've killed too many people and my sins are too heavy. The only thing I can do is go to jail to atone for my sins."

At this point, Raziel knew that if she asked one more question, it would trigger a quest. Most likely, it would be a distress quest like Sherlock's.

Raziel was there just for fun and a chat; he was actually quite averse to trouble: "Boss, any more questions?"

Raphael was very interested: "Judging from her story, she is better than her classmates, and she is very obedient now. She is a talented person, and we can try to win her over."

Sila asked in surprise, "Is her story authentic?"

Raziel said, "This is the prison of the gods. Conversations are monitored. She wouldn't dare to lie, would she?"

Michael thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead and ask. Raziel's problem is that his status in the divine realm is too low. He doesn't even have a single subordinate he can rely on. It's always good to win one over."

Sila laughed and said, "Besides, the old woman has become younger, so she's still usable."

Raziel seemed to have a little bit of anticipation: "Okay, which way should we ask?"

Michael thought for a moment: "The mysterious Andariel who led Uriel into the city might be the Dark Soul Witch's superior. Ask her about this, use the divine realm's wanted notice to put pressure on her, and try to give Uriel the initiative."

Raziel asked in surprise, "Then we'll have to discuss this mission openly in front of the prison surveillance cameras, is that alright?"

Sariel said impatiently, "Compared to my grand mermaid project, Uriel's mission is nothing. Let's get straight to the point."

Raziel then asked, "As far as I know, the Andariel superior you suspect recently sent an Andariel succubus to Count Amir Khan's mansion in Black Iron City, and she disappeared. This superior then sent people to the Count's mansion to investigate—madam, do you have any clues?"

The witch paused for a moment, then asked, "What does this have to do with the lawyer?"

Raziel laughed and said, "Normally, you should answer whether you know or not, but since you asked me that, does that mean you're involved in this matter?"

The witch sighed, "I once visited this count's mansion. He kept many dancers, and I made a lot of money by lying that I could improve their skills. I only knew the count. As for clues, I have absolutely no idea."

Just then, a notification sounded in the cell: "Mr. Raziel, junior lawyer, your visitation time ends in 10 seconds."

what! !

How much time is taken up by this old woman telling stories!
Raziel helplessly shrugged: "That's enough for today."

The witch became agitated: "Sir, although I don't know, if you need my assistance in the investigation—"

I've been waiting for her to say that.

Raziel nodded in satisfaction: "Good..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Raziel was teleported outside the prison.

The garrison commander spoke up: "You said you were going to investigate Sherlock, so why are you investigating the Demon God and the Dark Soul Witch instead?"

Raziel casually replied, "The bishop's power is too great, and his influence is too broad. I don't want him to impose his views on me first. So I'll ask a few prisoners indirectly first. Of course, the main purpose is to find out the suspicious points in their cases so that I can improve my legal experience in court."

The garrison commander asked in surprise, "You mean the divine judgment is unjust?"

Raziel was anxious: "It's fair from the perspective of the parties involved! However, the mastermind behind the Dark Soul Witch hasn't been tried, which makes me very resentful."

The garrison commander nodded: "I also look forward to the results of your investigation."

Raziel got excited: "If I want to capture the mastermind behind the Dark Soul Witch, it will be very difficult for me to do it all by myself. Could you please bring out this Dark Soul Witch to assist me?"

The garrison commander solemnly said, "It is feasible to transfer prisoners in principle, but your lawyer level is not high enough, and you need to take the law enforcement officer professional certificate exam."

Damn it, I have to take an exam again!!
Raziel panicked: "I am a sage of the gods!! Isn't it only natural for a sage to do this?" The garrison commander said calmly: "Your sage reputation is not enough. Go take the exam. When you become the Grand Arbiter, you will be the embodiment of justice."

"Damn it~~~~~"

The chat group erupted in laughter: "Raziel, who told you to leave your character AFK for a month!"

Michael exclaimed, "Take the exam! With offline AI assistance, I believe you can create a miracle within a day..."

Amidst the laughter, a riot broke out at the animal rights street event in Sila: "Disperse! Disperse! Don't block traffic, don't spread activities that are detrimental to production and development! Just do what you were doing!"

Suddenly, it was the newly appointed intern guardian angel, the shoe angel, who came out on the street to chase people away!

Gabriel laughed heartily: "I knew it! This shoe angel used to be the guardian of the shoe merchants' association. When the animal rights organization went bankrupt, he went to hell. He hated animal rights the most."

At this moment, the God of War, Tata, immediately stepped forward, saying, "Your Majesty—"

The shoe angel waved her hand impatiently: "There are no seats. I'm just an intern! But I'm capable enough to manage you. I advise you to leave now!"

Tata argued forcefully: "I am a guardian of the land!! I am a social activist, even if you are an intern god, you cannot interfere with my freedom!"

The Shoe Angel said in a deep voice, "You're not a social activist yet, but even if you were, I could still kick you out!"

Sila grew anxious and could only helplessly look at the Black Dragon Lord, who stared at the Shoe Angel with a bewildered expression. Clearly, the Black Dragon Lord recognized the Shoe Angel; it was just that the faction had changed, and he was having trouble adjusting.

After thinking for a moment, Xila realized she had no choice but to resort to her ultimate move: "Mentor, should we give him a pair of shoes?"

The Black Dragon Lord finally came to his senses: "Can it work?"

"Give it a try!"

The Black Dragon Lord had no choice but to call out, "Apprentice God Throne!"

The Shoe Angel pushed Tata aside: "You're the planner, right?"

With a seductive smile, the Black Dragon Lord lifted her robe, revealing exquisitely beautiful black silk boots underneath!
The surrounding players and citizens were in an uproar!
Even Sila and Gabriel were stunned: "What beautiful legs! I really want to hug them and lick them!"

The shoe angel's face darkened.

With a gentle tap, the Black Dragon Lord sent a pair of leather boots flying into his hand, which he then presented shyly: "Apprentice God Throne, these are for you!"

The boot openings are specifically positioned to face the shoe angel's nose, and they emit colorful gases!
Even Gabriel, an expert on perfume colors, was astonished: "This gas... a mixture of various scents, with an astonishing concentration!"

The shoe angel indeed twitched her nose, her expression revealing an indescribable struggle and hesitation!
Sila was incredibly excited; it seemed like things were going to work!
Sure enough, the shoe angel grabbed the shoes.

Sila laughed heartily: "Success!"

But the next moment, the shoe angel held up the shoe and showed it to the surrounding citizens: "This lady dared to bribe my trainee guardian angel with a shoe, and this is the evidence!"

Then, turning to her with utmost seriousness, he rebuked her: "In the name of the trainee Guardian, I solemnly warn this lady: 1. You bribed the Guardian in the street; 2. Your strength exceeds the limit! I have the right to preserve evidence to expel you from Black Iron City—"

The chat group erupted in chaos!
Sila was even more incredulous; he actually!! He returned the shoes if he didn't accept the bribe!!

Sila immediately protested, "We haven't done anything wrong! This expulsion is too harsh! Where will we find such nice shoes again—"

The Shoe Angel immediately added, "You are forbidden from setting foot in Black Iron City for three days! This expulsion order is effective immediately. Madam, please leave Black Iron City!"

The Black Dragon Lord was dumbfounded.

Xila could only remind him, "Master, let's leave the city first."

The Black Dragon Lord gave an awkward smile: "Alright."

Sila glanced back at the bewildered Tata and the four animal protection officials dancing Miss Four, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

The next moment, the Black Dragon Lord instantly teleported Xira out of the city.

The teleportation distance was so great that it far exceeded that of the City Flower, leaving Black Iron City only on the horizon. At this distance, the Merchant Guild channel could no longer contact the Fourth Miss and the others.

The Black Dragon Lord sighed, "I never imagined that the Shoe Angel would be able to redeem herself and advance with the blessing of the legendary competition from a thousand years ago. It's a pity that I've lost an ally and gained a formidable rival. Oh well, I'll go visit my child in Ironflame Village."

Sila was also helpless: "Okay, teacher, how about I lend you my shoes for a bit?"

The Black Dragon Lord laughed and said, "No need, it's much more comfortable to take it off."

Sila then asked, "Teacher, if he really wanted to expel you, could you defeat him?"

The Black Dragon Lord said in a deep voice, "He could never have beaten me before, but now that he has been promoted to a Guardian God, he will be a bit more troublesome."

Xila said, "Mentor, I believe that even if the Shoe Angel is promoted, his essence will not change. He will absolutely not be able to resist the charm of your shoes."

The Black Dragon Lord laughed, "I'm looking forward to it too. Let's go..."

The chat group was also a bit bewildered by this sudden turn of events.

Metatron was the first to complain: "This animal protection project is doomed, I can't collect any more faith anymore."

Sila said irritably, "The original plan to reorganize and incorporate the Black Hand organization has also been interrupted."

Sariel sighed, "Actually, there's a good side to it too. It interrupted Curry Baka's mission progress, making it less of an easy win for them."

Gabriel sighed, "The key is Sila. Is she really going to stay with the mentor for three days before coming back? You have millions of privilege points but no chance to organize events and replace Da Chun as president."

Xila was genuinely anxious: "Let's see what she does after she visits the children. I'll find an opportunity to come back first."

……

At this moment, both the God of War and the Immortal of Peeping were completely dumbfounded!

The NPCs for this quest have all been driven away. How am I supposed to complete this quest? Do I really have to wait three days?
The biggest loser is Tata the War God. He finally got the prestigious trainee social activist job, and things were looking great; a full promotion seemed inevitable. Then this happened! Go to other cities for events? Tata doesn't even have the 5000 teleportation coins!

Also, they originally planned to set up a scheme to control the number of people who would be secretly filmed, but now they're not in a hurry anymore and can't control it.

Tata had no choice but to contact Alpha, who was mixed in with the crowd: "What should we do?"

Alpha was also annoyed: "The Black Iron City's model is the Guardian Council. It's still unclear whether this trainee Guardian is a member of the council or above it. Go investigate at the church."
