Early Wednesday morning, Angel's personal Magic Mirror received a communication from Sherlock Moriarty.

She had expected this, for yesterday's fifth page of the Beckland Morning Post had an advertisement for the Ernst firm, which meant that a gathering of the Extraordinary Men hosted by the "Eyes of Wisdom" would be held at eight o'clock this evening.

It also means that her plan with Sherlock is about to begin.

"According to the previous plan, I will go to the nearest police station to report the crime later," Sherlock on the other end of the mirror seemed to be in the bathroom again, his voice a little low, "I would say that after receiving the threatening letter, I thought it was a prank, so I didn't report it immediately, but then I remembered my contribution to the 'serial murder case' and thought that I was targeted by the murderer's companion, so I went to report it." Also, as it happens, yesterday I was approached by a detective I knew, and he also received a threatening letter, which would have prompted me to file a police report for help. ”

"And I will be attending today's gathering of the Extraordinary, agreeing to the request of the 'Wisdom Eye' to participate in the search for the person behind the murder of the 'Demon Dog'. You, under the protection of the official extraordinary, try not to reveal your identity, and can also be used as a backhand for attacks. ”

Angel looked at the palm-sized magic mirror in front of him and replied.

"In fact, I suspect that I have been secretly monitored and protected by official extraordinary, and there are slight signs of interference in my divination."

That's why you're hiding in the bathroom and talking to me?

Angel pursed her lips and ended the connection between the two mirrors as quickly as possible, preventing the detective who was being watched from revealing his true identity and strength.

Besides, she also has a lot of things to do as soon as possible, and once she joins the "Eyes of Wisdom" project, Angel doesn't think she will have much free time to use before dealing with the secret apostle of desire.

After hastily settling breakfast, she first went to the North End, to the private detective agency responsible for monitoring Lily Granger's house, where the detective named Raymond was watching her personally, and she was greeted by a young assistant.

Unfortunately, the man in the divination screen was not found during more than a week of stalking, and the other party seemed to have disappeared after sending the last threatening letter, and Angel even suspected that he was only writing a threatening letter to scare Lily, rather than preparing to actually do it.

However, according to the detectives and his assistants, the Nightwatch still hasn't given up protecting Lily Granger, which means they have some information that Angel doesn't know and are still suspicious of the possibility of the threat coming true.

So Angel prepaid for the next week, asking the detective to keep an eye on the apartment all day. Although there are night watchers in the light, she feels that it is safer for an additional group of people to observe in the dark.

She then proceeds to Severia's home in the West End, where the Witch of Pleasure had previously promised to give her another mission to prevent Triss from escaping, but there has been no follow-up since the ball, making her almost think that the other party had forgotten about it.

This time when she came to Baron Langdon's mansion, Severia was not at home, and the butler, who seemed to know something, told Angel that she would not have any other tasks in the near future, so that she could continue to maintain a relationship with Earl Hall's family, that is, a friend with Audrey Hall.

Angel has some speculation about Severia's mysterious disappearance.

According to the information obtained from Lola, as well as the information revealed by Severia herself, the high-ranking extraordinary member of the Witch Sect, the "Lady of Despair", is likely to return to Bekland in the near future, and Severia may have made some preparations for this, so that she can't care about the arrangements of her subordinates.

Angel was happy too, she didn't want to have any contact with her until she figured out the strange things about Triss, the witch who was troubled by her identity was keen to use all kinds of methods to escape, and Angel always felt that sooner or later she would do something big.

After leaving the West End, she made her way to the East End and found Sherman on the second floor of the humble apartment.

The latter finally had the appearance of an "assassin" at this time, at least not as shy as Angel had when he first met him, and now he could see at a glance that he was a "blood-stained" person.

"The first goal has been solved?"

Settling into a chair in the living room, Angel asked.

But she already had the answer in her heart.

"Yes, yes," Sherman became the cringeking novice again, "I spent the whole day following and observing, finding his routine, but in the end I only killed him in my sleep, and I didn't use those abilities like sneaking into the shadows and charging a blow......"

"Isn't that great? Those abilities are desperately used, as long as you plan reasonably and wait patiently for opportunities, you will not need them. ”

Angel complimented the newbie, trying to make him more confident.

Sherman then continued to report on the results of tracking and investigating those "Barrons" in the past few days, one of whom was also from the Southern Continent, Barron worked as a thug in a tavern, sleeping during the day and guarding the gate at night, completely unrelated to the traffickers, and his appearance was also different from the characteristics provided by Angel, and he had been excluded from the suspicion.

The other two Barrons, Sherman, and several of his men are still under investigation, and the results should be available in the next few days.

Although this is a commission provided by the Tarot Society's hanged man, due to human trafficking, it is more likely to be related to the Witch Sect and the Aurora Society, Angel is very concerned about this, and she asks Sherman to contact Sherman through the communication potion as soon as he has news.

Later, she helped Sherman choose the next assassination target, and after some combat skills, she left the apartment, although the new assassin has a very problematic personality, but he has a good talent, and when he first planned the assassination, he had some sense of the role of the "assassin", which made Angel sigh at the vision of the witch sect to select members.

In the evening, the gathering of the Extraordinary of the "Eyes of Wisdom" was held on time, and when Angel arrived at the venue wearing a hooded robe and an iron mask, it was not surprising to find that Sherlock was not in attendance.

"He may have been under the protection of the 'Heart of Machines' by now......"

Thinking to herself, Angel sat in the corner of the room, and then was surprised to see the fat pharmacist, Darkwell, sitting near the midfield.

"Does anyone sell the potion recipe for the 'Warrior'?"

The "beast tamer" has apparently found a satisfying animal and is picking out the right potion to turn it into a supernatural creature.

"Isn't you a 'pharmacist'? What do you want a warrior potion for? ”

The "black snake" who had always had a bad relationship with him said in a sharp voice.

Darkwell snorted softly, not answering him, but repeating his own needs.

"Do you need any other potions besides 'Warrior'? For example, 'Apprentice', I can sell it to you along with the subsequent sequences, so that you don't have to buy it here and there every time. ”

Seeing that the animal trainer was a little anxious, Angel took the opportunity to sell his own formula.

"Is that you?" The other party heard her voice and asked suspiciously, "You should know that what I need is a potion with enough combat ability, a warrior, or...... Or your pathway. ”

Fortunately, this guy has the most basic reason and didn't tell me my way......

Angel frowned and looked at this open-mouthed guy, secretly glad in her heart.

"Combat ability? Then you can go to the 'audience', their ancient name is the 'dragon' way! ”

Another party member who didn't think much of a deal had a big deal to say, his tone sneering and laughing.

……

At the end of the party, Angel shook her head gently as the waiter came to lead her away, and the waiter understood, bypassed her couch, and took the others away in turn, and in the end, only she and the old gentleman with the "Eye of Wisdom" in the center of the room remained.

"I'm surprised you changed your mind, eh, and that partner of yours doesn't seem to be at the party today?"

After watching the last member leave, the waiter closed the door, and the Eye of Wisdom looked at Angel in the corner and asked.

"He wasn't interested, so he didn't come," Angel casually made up a reason to cover for Sherlock, "let's talk about the details of the commission and how much I can get paid." ”
