Chapter 16: The Witch of Divination

Alger reached out and hesitantly tore open the seal, removing the letter from the envelope.

The telegram was only three thin pages, but two pages were full, and the telegram across the sea had to be sent here via a submarine cable through Byam, the capital of the Rorsted Islands, which was inefficient, and it would have been difficult for him to pass on this amount of information if he did not have the status of the Church of the Storm.

Spreading out the letter, Alger looked at the first page, which was also the least informative.

This telegram comes from Hagrid of the "Wild Heart" bar, a former pirate who had saved his life a few years earlier and quit the Sea Raiders.

It contains a fake identity message: "Name: Angel Granger; Gender: Female; Date of birth: 28 June 1331. ”

If Miss "Queen" had forged her identity for herself, she would now be called "Angel Granger"?

Remembering the explanation of Miss Queen's "my friend" at the first tarot meeting, a smile appeared on the corner of Alger's mouth.

Underneath the identity information is a simple kinship and resume, and Hagrid specifically mentions that this document has already been put in the Central Archives Bureau in Beckland, and no matter who checks it, there is no abnormality.

Does this guy think I'm looking for him to ask him for guilt?

Alger scoffed, setting the page aside and looking at the second page.

This letterhead is full of contents, from the archives of the "River and Sea Church" in the city of Tingen, which chronicles a battle of the Extraordinary in the city of Tingen on the morning of 2 September.

In the street park in the North End, the Tingen Night Squad fought a fierce battle with the Witch Cult, the Aurora Society, and the women who were pregnant with the children of the "True Creator", and the bombs planted by the cultists in advance killed dozens of people, including members of the New Party, and injured hundreds.

In the end, the arrival of the evil god was prevented, and the Aurora Society and the Witch Sect's Extraordinary Ones died on the spot, and the Night Watch also suffered heavy casualties.

The "true creator" of the Aurora Society is trying to descend on the city of Tingen? I think there were more than 100,000 people there, and they were crazy...... But what does that have to do with the information I need?

Alger's brow furrowed slightly as he looked at the page of the battle log, which had nothing to do with the contents of the first letter, but he knew the ability of his trusted friend, and knew that he could not waste his precious opportunity to send a telegram on useless information.

Turning his gaze to the last page of the letter, Alger read it quickly with a hint of anticipation.

This is the mission report of the "Substitute Punisher" squad in the city of Tingen.

After receiving a telegram from the night watchman that the Heir of the Evil God was about to descend on Tingen, they unsealed the seal 2-044 "Storm Bell" kept by the Tingen City team and went to the North District Street Park to participate in the battle.

Upon arrival, the substitutes found that the battle was over, that the entire park had been blown into ruins by the explosives buried in the ground, that blood and flames, wounded and mutilated were everywhere, and that the ground had been pierced by the beams that had fallen from the sky had become a small pool, formed by the gushing water from the broken underground water pipes.

Only one of the deranged young Nightwatch was still alive, the Offspring and his mother, the Bishop of the Rosary, and the Witch of Pleasure were killed, the captain of the Tingen team and two other members of the team were killed in battle, and the extraordinary traits of the enemy and the allies were lost.

From the eloquent account of the substitute punisher who participated in the operation and helped clean up the mess, Alger could imagine the brutality of the battle at that time.

At the end of the mission report, the substitute punisher who participated in the funeral of the heroes who defended Tingen recorded the names of several people.

Dunn Smith, Klein Moretti, Angel ...... Angel Granger?

Alger immediately turned back to the first page of the letter and confirmed the connection between the three telegrams.

Angel Granger, this is the fake identity that Miss "Queen" created in Hagna.

She's dead? Died in battle against the Heirs of the Evil God?

The timing is really right, September 2 is Sunday...... She attended the tarot meeting that week, and then Zielingus was killed by the Fool's family, and I asked Mr. Fool for leave because I was stranded in Beckland, fearing surveillance, and then the tarot meeting on September 3 was cancelled, and she did not attend the next meeting.

But Mr. Fool said she was only taking a long leave......

Alger's gaze kept moving from one letter to another, eventually back to the page of identification, back to the date of birth.

She had just turned 18......

Recalling the tall figure hidden behind the gray fog at the Tarot meeting, Alger's mouth was a little bitter.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

"You look like you're only 18 years old, are you really an adult? Minors are not allowed to join our Divination Club. Of course, if you just do divination, that's fine. ”

The waitress across from Angel looked at her with suspicion.

This is a divination club in the southern district of the bridge, and Angel found the location of the "cosplay" from a newspaper advertisement.

As a club in the capital city of Beckland, their membership fee is only Β£15, and an additional Β£5 is required to renew the membership each year, with a separate divination room, free coffee or tea, discounted meals, and access to numerous newspapers, magazines and specialist books.

I didn't expect to hit a wall at the first hurdle of joining the club.

Angel now wears the "Ring of Madness", and in the eyes of others, her face is not her original appearance, but a slightly freckled, rounded, and green face.

Cole Granger was 24 years old before he took witch potion and became a woman, but Angel's current body, after being transformed by potions, is indeed only at the level of a new adult.

And the face changed by the "strangeness" of the ring does not change the age.

"I'm a history graduate of Hoy University, how can you say I'm underage? If my classmates knew about their discrimination against outsiders and spread it, the boss would be upset, right? Angel couldn't get his identification, so he could only use some extraordinary abilities to "persuade" the other party.

Fortunately, the hostess only asked casually, and quickly succumbed to her clever words and handled the application for membership for Angel.

After writing the code name "Divination Witch" at the door of the divination room that belonged to him, Angel's divination officially opened.

……

Until the afternoon, Angel, who had drunk countless coffees and black teas, did not wait for any of the customers due to psychological thirst.

The laughter in the room of the somewhat suave middle-aged soothsayer next to her kept coming, and the female customers came in and out, which set off the dilemma of the "soothsayer".

This made Angel doubt his decision again.

Wouldn't it be better to go and set a fire on the Beckland Bridge and paralyze traffic for hours than to sit here and wait for customers who never come?

Her fingers kept rubbing the citrine on her right wrist, and she thought to herself.

"Bang bangβ€”"

There was a knock on the half-hidden door, and a woman pushed the door and entered.

She wore a wide-brimmed hat with a fine black gauze around the edges, and wore a long, loose skirt that Rune was common, and she voluntarily closed the door when she entered, and Angel could see through the fast-closing crack that a man in a black trench coat was standing outside, who seemed to have accompanied the woman to the club.

"Hello, I didn't expect a new soothsayer to come here today."

The woman, whose voice was soft and very young, sat down across from Angel's divination table and set it aside, revealing her graceful curved cheeks, black curly hair, and lake-blue eyes.

"Hello, beautiful lady, what kind of divination is required? I can use tarot cards and pendulum divination, but what I am best at is magic mirror divination. ”

Angel read out the introduction that she had memorized in boredom, and then looked at each other expectantly.

This was her first business!
