Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 159 Goodbye
At the end of the party, no more valuable trading items or information appeared. Under the arrangement of the "Eye of Wisdom", the participants were taken away from different exits by waiters every three minutes.

This arrangement effectively ensures the safety of party members.

"Newspaper codes, meticulous arrangements, complex underground gathering places...all kinds of details are experiences." Xio felt that the gatherings of "Eye of Wisdom" were more cautious and secretive than those organized by Mr. A, and there was more for her to learn.

After leaving the party, Xiu gradually understood the difficulty of organizing a regular party.

Now that they have the "Viper" Flora, their biggest difficulty is finding a fixed, safe and easily renovated gathering place.

"I'll accompany you here."

As Quinn looked at Tessa Purcell with her black hair and dark eyes, his impression of her gradually improved. After he could no longer see her, Quinn said to Fors, "Although she was a little intimidating when we first met, after getting to know each other, I've found that Miss Purcell is quite nice."

Fors snorted, crossed her shoulders, and said, "Of course. I'll give you the extraordinary weapon worth 490 pounds at the party."

"Fors!" Xiu didn't understand what Fors was suddenly arguing about. He frowned and said, "Miss Perslan doesn't seem like a bad person."

Fors sighed deeply and warned Xio, "Xiu, a 'bad guy' isn't written on his face. When interacting with people, you can't just look at the surface. You should think about the purpose of this wealthy and powerful Miss Perslan in contacting you."

Xio already had the answer in mind, and without hesitation, he said, "I know, because I am a Nighthawk, and I am a member of the Red Gloves Team 7. Miss Perslan may want to use me to establish a good relationship with Captain Galadria, or with the Goddess Church."

After hearing Xio's clear words, Fors breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xio, you're not that stupid. But..."

A hint of worry flashed across Fors's eyes, and she smiled. "Besides what you've said, from my perspective as an outsider, I can see that Miss Perslan is also very optimistic about you... So, you're really becoming more and more popular. I can't even hide you anymore."

"But Miss Persilan," Fors whispered doubtfully, "is so beautiful that one can't help but want to get close to her, yet... at the same time, there's a sense of fear, as if one has encountered a natural enemy."

Hearing this, Xio stared at Fors thoughtfully and said, "I seem to have seen this description in the romance novel by your bedside. It refers to the protagonist's reaction when he sees his secret crush."

Fors: “?”

……

Late at night, at the Yushil Cemetery, Claire and Daly, both dressed in clergy attire, were inspecting the cemetery.

"Everything is normal... Captain Galadilla, are you not making any arrangements in advance this time?" After communicating with the released spirits and confirming that there were no abnormalities around, Daly walked over to Claire and asked.

"Well, the goal this time is contact, not capture." Claire kept her emotions calm. The complex and restless emotions about the upcoming meeting with Tessa were suppressed by the "Heart of the Goddess", as if they were frozen and not a single bit leaked out.

Claire rationally analyzed to Daly:

"Since Tai Poslan dared to come to the Ushill Cemetery for another meeting, he must be confident of escaping unscathed. In that case, let's get to know him better first."

"Like you said, Tai Perslan isn't unforgivable. Let's focus on communication and comforting him first. At least we still have the initiative in communication."

Daly nodded and turned to talk about another matter: "By the way, I heard from Mr. Hassan that old woman Meseri caused you trouble?" Claire didn't expect Daly to hear about this so soon. It seemed that Meseri did something after leaving - probably ran to Alicia to complain or something.

However, the fact that this matter reached the ears of others so quickly also indirectly reflected that Meseri's interpersonal relationships were somewhat poor.

Claire waved her hand and said, "They're not really a problem. They have a lot of presence but little courage. They just wave their claws around in the air for show."

After hearing Claire's description, Daly smiled. "Captain Galadilla, your description is quite vivid. Although that woman isn't very courageous, she's been known to mess with many people within the so-called rules. She's quite annoying."

"Sure enough, there are a lot of people who hate her. It's gotten to this point, and Alicia, the person in charge, isn't going to intervene?"

"Who knows what Lady Alicia is thinking?" Daly shook her head. "But, if she comes to trouble you, I know the root cause is me."

"Is it related to you?" Claire was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully, "Is there a conflict between you two?"

Daly said, "As for the conflict... I personally don't think it's that serious. We're both 'Necromancers,' so there's competition for advancement. Messeri was worried I'd apply for advancement review immediately after accumulating enough merit. She previously approached me privately about this matter. She said I should be more steady and not pursue such a dangerous rapid advancement, but she actually wanted me to slow down my merit accumulation."

Dai Li spat softly: "You haven't seen that kind of face...but it makes me sick."

Claire asked, "You're just going to spoil her? That's not like you."

Daly snorted, "I scolded her out right then and there. She's thick-skinned but can't stand provocation. When scolded harshly, she'll temporarily 'retreat.' But you have to be careful, she'll definitely come up with some disgusting trick to make a comeback."

"Is she so clingy?" Claire raised her eyebrows slightly. "Is she free?"

Daly replied: "No, on the contrary, Messeri is very busy and has a lot of things to deal with. But when it comes to doing disgusting things, she always has as much energy as if she were injected with chicken blood."

Claire couldn't help but say, "That's a bit strange. It's hard to imagine there's someone with that kind of personality among the Nighthawks."

Daly added, "I heard it wasn't like this before. It's hard to imagine that Messeri was actually resisting promotion earlier, but after becoming a so-called assistant officer, her thoughts became twisted and annoying."

"After becoming an assistant officer..." Claire thought thoughtfully.

Just as Claire and the other person were discussing Messerli Doherty's affairs, an illusory figure gradually emerged not far from them.

The figure gradually solidified, with a graceful body, black hair and black eyes!

It's Tessa!
"Good evening, Captain Galadilla, Ms. Daly." Tessa greeted first. She was wearing a black evening gown, looking elegant as if she was attending a dinner party.

But this is a cemetery.

Claire looked over calmly and said coldly, "Nice to meet you, Tessa Perslan."
