"We worship the moon, not the goddess of the night."

In his own study, when he copied the first sentence of the "Book of Secrets" with ink, Angel frowned.

The author of this book, "Witch King Karaman", was a high-ranking extraordinaire who was active in the Southern Continent in the early Fifth Age, that is, more than a thousand years ago, and he recorded a lot of knowledge about secret rituals, astrology, and curse spells, but also made it clear in the book that these rituals and spells came from the worship of the primordial moon.

There is even the honorific name of this "primordial moon" in the book:

The unique red moon,

A symbol of life and beauty,

Mother of all spiritual forces.

Worried that such a clear three-stage honorific name would point to a mysterious existence, Angel did not dare to copy this description directly, but silently memorized it in his heart.

The book was only available for a week, and she obviously didn't have time to read the contents of the book, so she had to choose to copy down the important content first and learn it slowly.

Although this book is not full of powerful spells, mysterious rituals, and other contents that can instantly increase combat effectiveness as she imagined, this knowledge still makes Angel, who has only a cursory understanding of the occult, full of joy.

She had only been a night watchman for two months, and although she had learned a lot from the Church's internal texts, she was still far from mastery, and Cole Granger was also half-occult illiterate, and the occult knowledge in this book was very useful to her.

In the process of copying, Angel learned more about the relationship between the spirit world and her extraordinary abilities, the construction and purpose of various rituals, and even wanted to try to use this knowledge to enhance the curses and spells that originated from witches and witches of pleasure.

For example, after she was promoted, she had imagined using mirrors and blood to communicate with the spiritual world for remote communication.

Angel believes that all of this is possible as long as she continues to study the Book of Secrets.

"Fools who don't belong to this era......"

In the basement where candles are lit and essential oils and herbal powders are burned, Angel puts her hands together and enters a meditative state, reciting the honorific name of the "Fool" over and over again.

In this repetition, she felt that her meditative body and mind had entered a state of spiritual divergence, and soon became muddy, but she maintained her last lucidity, as if watching her spirit float out of her body from another perspective, gradually ascending, and entering the spiritual realm.

This "secret ritual", known in the Book of Secrets as "artificial sleepwalking", is a method that Mr. Fool temporarily taught to Angel to bestow angelic blessings.

In the haze, she felt as if she had returned to the gray fog where the tarot meeting had been held, and entered the ancient palace, where she saw Mr. Fool sitting at the head of the long bronze table.

Then, an "angel" that was so thin that it seemed to have no thickness, but it had twelve pairs of black wings on its back, fluttered down, and merged with Angel's spirit body in the crimson light, and the layers of black wings were also wrapped together, like a black cocoon.

I don't know how long later, Angel woke up in the basement and found that the candle in front of her had only burned a small part, and the aroma of herbs and essential oils in the space had not yet dissipated, indicating that time had not passed long, but she seemed to have been stunned for hours.

"Praise be to the fools!"

She recited the name of the fool again, then gathered up the altar and returned to the first floor to prepare for the possible scrutiny of the night watchmen in the afternoon.

Based on what she knew about the night watchers, the diocese of Beckland should be able to arrange for the "Sleepless" of Sequence 6 to be pulled into a dream for an interrogation of Audrey as she travels to her house. And if you don't pay enough attention to Ms. D's death, it may only be the "nightmare" of Sequence 7. With the blessing of Mr. Fool and the Night Emblem he wears, it is more than enough to deal with these extraordinary people.

The only problem is that she was witnessed fighting Ms. D that night, and the couple, if they had also been questioned by the Night Watch, might have described her appearance, allowing the Night Watch to easily discover that "Erin Watson" was the Extraordinaire who killed Ms. D that day, rather than a Sequence 9 soothsayer.

Of course, the effect of the "Ring of Madness" will cause people who have only one side of her to quickly forget the details of her appearance, and then become unrecognizable in the process of "brain filling".

According to her experience of being invaded by "nightmares" many times, if the target of their invasion remains awake, they can make certain changes to the dream, which gives her room to confuse the past.

Before going out, Angel tied his long black hair, which had been turned into a ring of madness, and put on a soft hat that had been introduced to Beckland after the popularity of Intis in the past two years, covering most of his hair, and his eyes naturally narrowed and squeezed out a smile.

With the help of the Witch of Pleasure's ability to change her temperament, even if she didn't make any changes in her face, she immediately showed a youthful and energetic temperament that was completely different from the heroic posture of that night.

"That should be fine...... If I really can't do it, I can only take out the Dark Emblem and use Lady Arianna's identity to get them to stop talking about it......"

Standing in front of the full-length mirror in the bedroom in a new shape, Angel caressed the emblem and citrine hanging around her neck and hanging down to her chest, thinking secretly.

————

Riding in a hired carriage to the mansion of Earl Hall in Queens, Angel found that there were only a few carriages of the Hall family parked in front of the mansion, as well as an unmarked black carriage, and no other nobles' cars.

She guessed that Audrey had told her that the tea party was going before the other nobles, in order to make time for the night watchers.

Fortunately, she was ready and did not show any change in mood, but was guided by the maid to the small room next to the reception room, where she waited.

The maid poured her tea and left the room, Angel sat on the sofa, her eyes slightly closed, as if she was taking a nap, but she was a little nervous inside, she knew that a certain night watchman might be next door, not far from her, trying to put her to sleep.

Sure enough, as the fragrance of tea permeated the entire room, she felt a faint cold touch from the dark emblem on her chest, as well as a reassuring fluctuation.

When she opened her eyes, she found that the room was no different from what it had been, as if the change in the emblem was just her hallucination, but with the help of the "angel", she could feel that it was completely different from a few minutes ago.

Her thoughts moved, and the sun outside the window immediately sank below the horizon, and a faint afterglow enveloped the room, making everything in the room obscure, and the same was true of Angel facing the window.

"Click-" There was a soft sound, and a tall man wearing a half-height black top hat pushed the door and walked in, and when he saw the dim scene in the room, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, walked briskly to the wall, turned on the gas lamp, and then sat down on the sofa opposite Angel.

"Wait, Miss Erin Watson," he said casually, taking off his top hat and setting it aside, his right leg crossed over his left, in a natural sitting position, as if returning to his own home, "you went to Berningham Road in Hilston with Miss Audrey last Sunday evening?" ”

Are these "nightmares" so familiar in their dreams......

Thinking of his first encounter with Captain Dunn with some nostalgia, Angel nodded and replied:

"Yes."

She replied as if she were talking to an old friend.

Of course, the man opposite her is really an "old friend".

"What happened inside Mr. Hamples' villa?"

The leader of the "Red Glove" team, the "Requiem" Sost, folded his hands on his upturned legs, and continued to ask.
