Black cats?

It was a cat that had stumbled into the ceremony - Angel's first reaction was this, but then she remembered that there was a spiritual wall around the room, and she would not let ordinary creatures break in.

Then it is the result of this summoning......

Angel crouched down, looked at the black cat looking at her, and asked in Old Hermes:

"Are you the messenger I have summoned?"

As soon as she finished asking, she remembered that the other party was not a "messenger", and was about to change her words, when the huge black cat in front of her wagged its tail, opened its mouth, and spit out a sentence in the ancient Forsak language:

"That's right, are you the human who just wants to contract with me?"

Yes?

Can it talk?

Angel didn't show any surprise when the giant greeted her just now, because humanoid spirits must have been human beings before they were born, and it was normal for them to be able to speak, and the black cat in front of her ......

She immediately thought of the transcendent dog possessed by Miss Audrey, the "Justice" of the Tarot Society, who was said to have gained a lot of wisdom and the ability to communicate with people after accidentally swallowing a potion from the "audience".

Could it be that this black cat had a similar experience "before his death"?

As her thoughts flowed, she nodded slightly, and replied with difficulty in the not very proficient Guphosak:

"Yes, I have summoned you through a ritual, are you up to the task of delivering letters or messages quickly?"

The black cat tilted its head, its turquoise eyes blinked, and replied in Rune's language:

"As long as it's not too heavy, I can bring it into the spirit world, and I can communicate directly with others, and I know a few common languages."

So saying, it leaped from the ground, jumped onto the table behind it that served as a makeshift altar, then kicked up on its feet, climbed onto the chandelier on the ceiling, and finally landed on the carpet in an elegant posture without making a sound.

I'm fast, I can communicate with people, and I'm even multilingual, but I don't know much of Gufsak...... Angel has a sense of frustration at being defeated by the black cat of the spirit world.

But she quickly adjusted her mood, and also changed to Rune and continued to ask:

"Will you sign a contract and become my messenger?"

This is what Mr. Azik once called the "consent of the other party...... She looked at the black cat's beautiful eyes with some apprehension, but the latter did not hesitate at all, and nodded:

"Yes, I do."

"My last contractor has been missing for a long time, it's time for a new one."

It seemed to feel that it had promised a little too much, it added.

It's a strange nature, but it's funny, much better than the previous Thumb Bird and Sluggish Giant......

Suppressing her inner joy, Angel brought the parchment that had been prepared long ago, on which the contents of the messenger contract were written in the ancient Hermetic script with the power of nature. These include clauses that the contractor of the contract must not act harmful to the other party, that the messenger cannot peek at the letter, that the letter cannot be discarded, and that the undelivered letter must be returned to the sender.

Finally, there is the name of the deity that guarantees the validity of the contract, which generally requires the use of the god of death, but this deity has fallen in the Quaternary period, so Angel wrote a description of the underworld itself in this passage.

"The destination of all death, the hell hidden deep in the spiritual realm, the testimony of the final death of all things, belongs to the kingdom of death alone."

Angel was the first to sign her new name, Angelica Thatch, under the deed.

This is not to deceive the other party with a fake name, when signing this kind of contract, its own breath will enter it under the witness of the underworld, and it cannot be faked, but if a third party summons this black cat messenger, it needs to use the name on the contract, Angel does not want to reveal his real name.

The black cat had a lot of experience in making a few strokes on the pen with his front paws and signing his name with sharp nails.

Winza.

As soon as the names of the two sides were placed, a bitter green flame erupted from these ancient Hermetic texts, quickly enveloping the entire parchment and burning it to ashes.

The contract was made.

Angel felt that her spirit had established a faint connection with the black cat in front of her, which was proof that the terms of the contract had taken effect, and as soon as her mind moved, the huge figure of the black cat Wensa quickly faded away, disappearing into the candlelight on the altar behind her.

After signing the contract, it only takes Angel's mind to release the summon, and the summon ......

"A spirit that wanders in vanity, a friendly creature to drive, a messenger that belongs to Angelica Thatch."

As she summoned again, the black cat emerged from the void and landed deftly on the carpet with a "sure do" expression on its face.

It seems to have some experience with this...... No, how can I see the expression on the cat's face, I'm not a cat...... Angel sneered, smiled apologetically at Winza, and dismissed the summons.

Then, with complete relief, she extinguished the ritual candles and removed the surrounding spiritual wall, allowing the refreshing sea breeze to enter the living room through the balcony, blowing away some of the serious atmosphere.

"Congratulations, although there were a few twists and turns, you finally got your own messenger."

Mr. Azik, who was on the side, stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Is that a transcendent creature? Hmm, I mean, it had taken potions before it died, or was it inherited from extraordinary properties in its own right? ”

Crane also asked curiously.

"Perhaps, there are many powerful, mysterious creatures in the spirit world that no one can explore, but fortunately it has no ill will towards Angel, and it sounds like it has served as a messenger for other contractors in the past, perhaps passing the boring life."

Azik said, smiling even more at the corner of his mouth.

"Also, I see some traces of battle on its body, and maybe this Lady Winsa defeated a lot of competitors to get the chance to sign the contract......"

Is this line of business so competitive...... And, ma'am? Is that a female cat?

Angel blinked, more curious about his new messenger.

She looked at Klein expectantly and said:

"Now it's your turn, see what kind of messenger you can find."

From the moment the thumb bird appeared, this guy has been snickering next to Mr. Azik and has never stopped, and now it is his turn to make a fool of himself...... Angel thought hatefully.

"There is a bronze whistle to communicate with Mr. Azik, and to communicate with you, you can also find Ms. Winza, I don't think there is a need for a new messenger for the time being."

As if to guess Angel's thoughts, Crane shook his head, took two steps back, and decisively rejected her proposal.

He didn't want to try it alone in the middle of the night......

Angel pouted and gave up for now.

Seeing that it was a little inappropriate for him to stay here any longer, Azk lifted the top hat on his head, glanced at the calm sea outside the window, and said softly:

"If Klein doesn't summon the messenger for the time being, I'll leave first," he took a few steps away from the two of them, the carpet under his feet turned bright red, and his body gradually disappeared into the spirit world, "Next, I'm going to look for my memories around the Rorsted Islands, if you have anything, you can contact me through the messenger, hehe, your black cat saw me just now, and at a not too distant distance, you can send me the letter directly, without you needing to provide an additional address." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, his not-so-tall figure disappeared.

……

Twice sent Mr. Azik away, and the two returned to business.

In this morning's battle, the two worked together to settle all the "Steel" Maiviti and his party who captured Daniz, and used the Cloak of Shadows to transfer the two most valuable pirates among them. Crane herded the extraordinary traits and soul of Mai Vitty, gaining three abilities of this "living corpse".

When switching from "Wriggling Hunger" to "Living Corpse", he gains berserk power to compensate for his lack of melee ability; can master the power of frost, although it is not as good as Angel, but it can freeze the ground nearby, affect the enemy's actions, and even freeze them directly; Finally, he can also manipulate living golems to spearhead certain dangerous operations or "mob" targets.

Unfortunately, it can be seen from the use of "Steel" Maiviti that the effect of these living corpses is not very good......

Thinking of the living corpses who were attracted by Mr. Azik's bronze whistle and swept away by the divine light, Angel was very optimistic about this extraordinary ability.

Secondly, after giving the "flying carpet" to Daniz, they also left behind an extraordinary trait belonging to the "Scarlet Thorn" Huntley, which, according to divination, is a "wizard" trait, belonging to the "Voyeur", which is the path to which Old Neil belongs7.

The extraordinary properties of this sequence can usually sell for more than 1,500 pounds, and if you put some effort into it into a magical item, it will sell for even more.

The bounty of the two pirates totaled 9,800 pounds, and according to the "hanged man" Alger, after finding someone to collect the bounty on his behalf, he could receive about ninety percent, and about 7,000 pounds belonged to the two.

It's just a night's planning and action, just counting the cash, the income is more than 8,500 pounds, not counting the increase in Klein's combat effectiveness brought by grazing "steel", these "list" pirates are really a treasure trove waiting to be withdrawn......

Angel looked at Klein and found the same surprise in his eyes.

After calculating the benefits, the two discussed the next plan.

Klein is ready to release the grazing "nightmare" soul in "Wriggling Hunger" and let him return to the realm of the goddess, of course, it is not yet confirmed that the other party is a believer of the goddess, but it is likely to be ......

Thinking of Dunn Smith, who is also a "nightmare", Angel is a little gloomy.

She was also pleased with Crane's "keeping his promise", and after obtaining this magical item from Mr. Azik, he immediately released the "Facelings" in it that duplicated his abilities, leaving a vacant place for grazing, which was filled with "steel" at this time, and there was no need to release other souls.

But the two had already discussed that they would gradually replace the souls of the evil pirates who had died unjustly, and if they found a new one, they would release the old one.

Follow the inner guidelines, so as not to lose yourself and lose control in the step by step promotion...... She concluded inwardly that she also had a certain idea of her "painful" potion digestion.

After coming to sea, Angel felt a hint of potion digestion from several battles and pranks on Daniz, plus the "early play" after being forcibly promoted in the Great Smog of Beckland, she has summed up the first acting rule of "pain":

The more intense the physical and mental pain is felt by others, and the more direct the feedback, the better the effect.

This means that she inevitably kills in the process of playing, and also kills in a way that makes the other person extremely painful......

But I swear that my butcher's knife will only be aimed at pirates and extraordinaries whose hands are stained with the blood of innocents......

She silently made a promise in her heart.
