Chapter 184: Early December
Satisfied with everyone's gaze, the upside-down hangman easily changed his sitting position and continued:
"The high-ranking extraordinaire can choose to pass on his extraordinary traits to his offspring, and the number can be determined independently, while the middle sequence, to be exact, sequence 5 and sequence 6, will inherit a small part uncontrollably, which generally does not lead to a decline in strength, but if there are enough births, it is not impossible to fall back to the lower sequence.
"These offspring will be born with some of the characteristics of this pathway, equivalent to half a sequence 9, which locks their development pathway, but also gives them higher inspiration and natural extraordinary abilities."
"Wait, if extraordinary characteristics can be passed on to future generations in this way, then is this transmission at the time of the offspring's birth, or is it ...... What about then? ”
Just as everyone was wandering in the knowledge class of the hanged man, Miss "Queen" asked suspiciously.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt regret, because all eyes were on her, including the world at the end of the long table.
If it weren't for the gray mist, I suspect that Mr. Fool would be looking at me like this......
She was eager to find a hole in the ground to get into, so she hurriedly added:
"I, I'm just talking about ......"
In the end, she still didn't learn from Audrey to make friends out of nothing.
"Well, it should be the moment when the new life is formed, but I haven't tried it, and I don't guarantee the ...... accurately."
The hanged man replied a little helplessly, which can be regarded as revealing this embarrassing topic.
"What about the low sequence? I'm referring to sequence 9. ”
Miss Magician asked, she was most concerned about the superfluous extraordinary traits in herself.
"This doesn't happen with normal sequences 7, 8, and 9, but if you drink the extra potions, there is a certain probability that the excess extraordinary properties in your body will be passed on to your offspring, so you can try to conceive and give birth to three or four children, and maybe solve your own problems."
"Three, three or four?"
The magician retorted in surprise, seeing through the gray mist that her limbs were straight, clearly resisting this approach.
"Of course, at your current stage, you can quickly digest those excessive traits by using the 'play method', and even have an enhanced effect on the extraordinary abilities of this stage," seeing this, the upside-down hangman added unhurriedly, "But when you get to the middle sequence, if you accidentally ingest too many extraordinary traits, I'm afraid it will take several years to digest them through playing, and at that time, giving birth to offspring is a simpler and more effective solution." ”
However, for women, I am afraid that it is not so simple......
Angel thought to herself as she looked at the increasingly embarrassed Miss Magician.
……
Looking at the 500 pounds that disappeared from the altar and the extraordinary properties of the "Dawn Knight", Angel silently praised Mr. Fool in her heart, picked up the ritual materials on the square table, and left the basement.
Regardless of whether or not the Dawn Knight's traits can be transformed into magical items in time, she has at least received the promise of the Fool and the blessing of the angels to have the courage to face the "Lady of Despair".
Of course, she didn't think about reporting directly to the Night Church, catching Severia and Triss who have been exposed so far, and by the way, exposing the fact that Prince Edsak colluded with the Witch Sect, and solving Beckland's problem "not perfectly".
But she believes that her identity is still safe under her role and anti-divination, and that the Witch Sect must have a larger conspiracy, a huge conspiracy that requires the demigods to sit in charge and the full cooperation of the royal family and the Aurora Society.
If you report it now, the follow-up development may be unpredictable, at least the "Desperate Lady" will definitely escape, leaving only those witches lurking in the aristocratic circle. And Ince Zangwill, hidden behind everything, and his "0-08", are even more difficult to find.
So meeting Panatia is very necessary, if only to learn more about the hidden intrigues behind the witch cult......
————
As we enter December, the winter atmosphere in Beckland is even stronger, and of course, this is not some festive atmosphere from Angel's previous life, but a haze that hangs over the largest city in the North Continent.
Red Rose Street, near the Tasok River, gets colder and damper on days when sunlight is scarce, even as Angel increases the amount of charcoal used in the fireplace, and the smog is exacerbated by the sudden increase in heating consumption in each household and the overtime work in factories at the end of the year, creating an effect that the newspapers call an "endless gray cycle".
Fortunately, the death of Duke Negan has not affected the operation of the Air Pollution Investigation Committee, and these representatives from all walks of life are actively investigating the emissions and pollution levels, and it is said that a new bill is expected to be passed next year, gradually replacing the original high-polluting coal with anthracite coal in three years, reducing the discharge of industrial wastewater, and relocating or shutting down some old factories with backward production efficiency, which will gradually improve the environment in Beckland.
"It's a pity that the far water can't save the near fire......"
Looking at the dim sky outside the window, Angel secretly sighed.
After the Tarot meeting, she was still waiting for Severia's notice for the past few days, reading the useful parts of the Book of Secrets, training her extraordinary abilities, and taking some time to deal with her relationships in Beckland.
Her Assassin Sherman, with the help of bounty hunter Hugh Dilcha, moved to a location in the East Side near the North Side, renting a more spacious and bright apartment, which was still nominally in the East Side, but close to the standards of the North End in terms of environment, health and security, and of course, the rent was more than double the price.
As a reputable boss, Angel reimbursed him for rent and moving expenses, left him with new "working capital", told him to continue to build his own news channels, develop some downlines, and even find a few people who could become assassins, provided that they were not indiscriminate killers.
Sherman's role as an "assassin" is also on the right track, even if Angel is limited to the oath to the goddess and can't reveal the acting method to this rookie, he has enough understanding to judge the general direction from Angel's words and his experience in the process of "assassination", and deliberately established his own image of punishing the wicked, from which he realized his own own rules of play.
At the current rate, it is believed that in a few more months he will be able to complete the digestion of the "Assassin" potion and be ready to advance to Sequence 8.
In addition to "work", Sherman also maintained a good relationship with Hugh Dilcha, due to the change of his identity, he was no longer as inferior as before, and the two got along amicably as extraordinary beings, and even helped each other to complete some actions. Because of this relationship, Angel asked him to convey his intention to establish a long-term relationship with him, and the bounty hunter's connections and eyeliner in the East End were exactly what she needed.
According to the excited girl, she is ready to take the initiative to expose the fact that she is already an "audience" at the next meeting, trying to obtain the follow-up potion in order to quickly advance the sequence within the Alchemy Society and obtain clues to the formula of the "psychiatrist".
Of course, all this had to be done under the protection of Mr. Fool, otherwise she would not be sure to hide from the extraordinary who were good at spying on the mind.
Angel also tried to hide her whereabouts, and went to Lily Granger's original residence to explore, and found that Lily had moved out of here under the protection of the night watchman, but was still studying at the Beckland Technical College, which had been officially reorganized and upgraded to the University of Technology and Technology this month, and she did not track Lily to find her new place to live for fear of attracting the attention of the night watchman again.
Lola once again invites Angel to speak in person, offering new communication potions while also revealing the conclusions of her and Vincent's investigation of the military.
Through the verification of various sources, Lola believes that the military has not fallen to the combination of the Witch Sect and a certain force of the royal family on a large scale, but there are indeed many extraordinary people in the middle sequence of the military's special department "MI9" who are fascinated by their whereabouts, and they are likely to join the chain of human trafficking of the Witch Sect. Prince Edsak, on the other hand, did not seem to be involved in these conspiracies, at least for the time being.
This also shows that the Witch Sect only co-opted some individuals from the military and the royal family, rather than fully cooperating with the two, otherwise the military would not have had to choose a small number of extraordinary people to participate in the human trade so secretly.
According to Lola's account, Angel guessed that Vincent, the "hunter" who worked with the two, was likely to be a member of the military, or at least had close ties to them, so he was able to get this information so quickly.
But compared to these things, Angel thinks that the most important thing at present is the digestion of "pleasure", compared to various foreign objects, enhancing the mastery of potions is undoubtedly the fastest way to improve strength, but for the means of playing, she has some expectations, but also with resistance, feeling that she and Sherlock should not be this kind of overly purposeful relationship, but it is impossible for her to find someone else to play, for any purpose, she can't do such a betrayal.
In the midst of this entanglement, Angel receives an invitation from Sherlock.
……
15 Minsk Street.
After politely shaking the doorbell, Angel saw that Sherlock did not come to open the door, so she took out the key and opened the door herself, and walked into the living room.
It was late afternoon, but there was no gas lamp in the living room, and in the dimly lit room, Sherlock stood by the coffee table with his back to the door, wearing a thin tuxedo and a half-height silk top hat.
This is completely different from his usual easy-to-move attire......
Angel smiled secretly, the dim environment had no effect on her, and this pretending to be a ghost was useless......
Just as she was about to laugh at the other party, Sherlock, who heard the door closing, turned around and smiled faintly.
The smiling face without a trace of beard, ordinary features but young and bookish, is none other than Angel's haunting Klein Moretti.
