Chapter 189: Half-truths

Do you care more about the origin of the potion recipe than I care about hiding my true looks?

Angel was stunned at first, but quickly reacted that this was due to the internal control of the witch sect, as well as to prevent the recipe from leaking out, and producing too many "wild witches" to endanger the safety of the sect.

According to the "Law of Immortality of Extraordinary Characteristics", the Extraordinary of the same path is in fact in a hidden competitive relationship, and it may be more convenient to directly target the Extraordinary of the next sequence than to search for or purchase potion materials at a high price, and once there are too many wild and uncontrolled Extraordinary Beings, the middle and high sequence Extraordinary of this path must always worry that they will become their hunting target.

The most typical examples Angel has seen are the "Mechanical Heart" craftsman Kaveh in Port Enmat and the defector Thomats, who directly targeted Kaveh, who was one sequence higher than him, and nearly succeeded.

Because of this, even a loosely disciplined covert organization has a fairly strict control over potion recipes above the middle sequence.

This must be the reason why Severia easily gave the potion materials, but was slow to let go of the full formula.

Angel had already rehearsed these questions and the reasons behind them, and she had a tangled and hesitant expression on her face, and only replied after a moment:

"The potion material came from Severia, and it was her reward for my recent mission, and the recipe ......" she paused, her gaze on the face of the Lady of Despair with a faint smile, "from a private deal." ”

"Tell us about that transaction and who the trader was?"

"Lady of Despair" Panatia asked slowly as she looked at Angel with her beautiful eyes.

"I am ......"

Angel was about to say the answer that had been prepared for a long time, when he suddenly found that Panatia's eyes were like two small mirrors, reflecting the false face of her "Faceling", and at the same time, the holy emblem on her right wrist and the "Angelic Blessing" on the outer layer of the spirit appeared a trace of cold touch.

She is divining, directly using her eyes as a mirror, unabashedly divining the truth of my answer!

This is a phenomenon that has never been seen before, and even when faced with the detection of night watchers, "anti-divination" has never been so intense.

Fortunately, I am doubly prepared......

Angel's brain was racing rapidly, but he continued without the slightest pause:

“…… Meet her while selling the 'witch' recipe at a gathering of the Extraordinaires in Queens, a young, mysterious woman. She followed me out of the venue and asked if I needed the Pleasure' potion recipe, which was only sold for £2,500, and I had already gotten the potion materials and was in a hurry to get promoted, so I agreed to the deal. ”

It's a half-truth, the formula is indeed a "deal", and there are extraordinaire rallies in Queens, but the rest is a lie.

There are anti-divination measures, and Angel is not afraid of being seen by the other party.

"2,500 pounds! No wonder you are so poor that you have to buy clothes with me...... Sorry, Lady of Despair. ”

Severia closed her mouth at Panatia's eyes.

"Is the organizer of the rally called Mr. A?"

The latter continued to inquire about the details of the transaction.

"Yes, but his rally was recently dismantled by the authorities, otherwise I should have had a chance to meet the lady."

"The height and appearance of that man?"

"She's a little shorter than me, wearing a mask and a hood, and I only saw black hair, but it's also possible that she's in disguise."

Panatia stopped asking, and her gaze continued to stay on Angel, scrutinizing. After a while, she closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the cold touch was gone.

"It's good that you didn't lie in front of me."

The lady nodded in satisfaction, a smile on her lips that grew even more, and turned her gaze to Severia, as if she no longer cared about the new member who had passed the test.

But in the next moment, she looked at Angel again and asked:

"What do you think of Trisquiusk?"

Why did you still carry out a surprise attack...... Fortunately, I have been cautious and tensed......

Angel sneered, did not dare to hesitate, and immediately replied:

"Once upon a time in Tingen, I and the male Triss were 'assassins' under Lady Sharon. And in Beckland, I've seen Triss twice, both at the ball, and she seems to be in a bit of a quanstile...... Wait, why do you call her Cheek? ”

After saying a few words, Angel reacted that "Lady Despair" addressed Triss a little differently than usual.

The words that Sherlock had said suddenly appeared in her head:

"This reminds me of an old book I saw recently, which mentions the 'Primordial Witch', that is, the existence that the Witch Sect believes in, and her name is 'Chik', which is a male name!"

The male side is not the focus, the point is that Triss is called "Trisquiachik......

Her strange, shivering sapphire ring......

From time to time, she appeared as if she was possessed......

As if being controlled, she often does things she doesn't even know......

"The First Witch" Chick......

Angel's mind exploded as she tried to catch the clues.

Could it be that the Witch Cult conducted human trade and established an underground base in the suburbs in preparation for the "Aurora Society" to summon the "Primordial Witch" they believed in to descend, and Triss was unlucky enough to be chosen as the vessel of the gods? But in this case, how dare Prince Edsak put such a person by his side, and also fall in love with her, doesn't he put himself next to explosives that will explode at any moment? Unless he doesn't know the witch sect's plan at all, he's just a "pawn" that has been pushed out......

Suppressing the thought of drifting farther and farther away, Angel looked back at Panatia, who did not notice her crankiness, but replied with a chuckle:

"Loftus-Cheek, that will be her new name, of course, she's still resisting a bit, but it won't last long.

"As for you, your mission in Beckland has been well accomplished during this time, and after the New Year, the sect's long-established operation will officially begin, and you will be rewarded with your due."

"Thank you, Lady Despair."

Severia replied with some excitement.

Reward? I don't feel like I'm doing anything, so why is there a reward again?

Angel was a little confused, but still learned to learn from Severia to bend down and salute.

Then, Sevilia led her out of the windowless stone chamber and back to the underground passage outside, where the brief meeting ended.

"You go back the way you came, and go back to my house in the carriage we came to in the town just now, and I may not be able to go back until the evening, and then we will 'talk in detail'."

In the end, Severia gritted her teeth, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Angel carrying her to become a "witch of pleasure".

Angel didn't care, and after passing the "Lady of Despair" level, Severia couldn't do anything with her.

Moreover, she always felt that the Lady of Despair was hiding something from her, at least the so-called "action" was extremely vague, and she also mentioned the name of the "original witch" Chick, which made Angel feel a faint uneasiness in her heart.

She decided to return to Beckland and report all the witches to this station!

————

Sevilia returned to the stone room, carefully closed the door, and then looked at the white-robed woman in the depths of the room.

"Lady Despair, she's gone."

"Good, she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, did she?"

"Anomaly?"

Celelia was a little puzzled, she subconsciously looked back at the closed door and asked.

"I'm disappointed in you, Severia."

Panatia took two steps closer and whispered, inadvertently revealing some of her fair skin between the hem of the white robe that slit above her thighs, allowing Severia's gaze to stay on it involuntarily.

"Didn't you just notice that this 'witch of Tingen' wasn't actually one of us?"
