Chapter 35: "Misunderstanding" Resolved
Angel hurried from the "mirror world" to the location of Triss's magic mirror, and soon found that the other party had already prepared the ice surface for him to appear.
Her spirituality is not too dangerous, so it is very likely that the person who attacked Triss is not a demigod, but just a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, of course, after being injured during the day, it is normal for Triss to be unable to deal with the same Sequence Extraordinary, so she will ask for help.
Thinking of this, Angel drilled out of the mirror, looked around, and confirmed that he was in the Beckland sewers, which were very familiar to him half a year ago, which had been expanded several times after the Great Plague more than ten years ago, forming the main roads and various branches that crisscrossed the city, like an independent underground world.
Triss was sitting in the depths of the fork in the main road, still pale, but much better than during the day, and about 10 meters in front of her stood a man in a dark red coat and triangular captain's hat, whose face was paler than Triss, and his light brown eyes in sunken eye sockets were looking at Angel steadily.
This, isn't this the "blood general" Señor who has become Klein's secret puppet...... Angel almost burst out laughing, she looked sideways at the "Pain" witch who was secretly asking for help using the magic mirror, the latter's eyes were full of joy because of the arrival of support, and she stretched out her hand to point to the "resentful spirit" in front of her, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth:
"That's him, a pirate general worth 40,000 pounds!"
It's actually 43,000 pounds......
"As long as that Viscount Sterford doesn't like men, I have a way to get him to speak."
Seeing that Triss had actually sat back down the fork in the road, she reached out and brought a small basket to her side, took out the Dixi pie and sweet iced tea in it, and added angrily.
Of course, since Triss was nearby, Angel didn't have the idea of stepping out of the mirror and entering Klein's bedroom, she just circled the three-story building and left the North End and returned to her home in Hilston.
After a few weeks of exploring, she has basically figured out the "world in the mirror" situation in several nearby urban areas. Of course, there were accidents during this period, she strayed into the spirit world during her exploration, and accidentally drilled out of the stained glass on the exterior wall of the church of the god of steam and machines, but fortunately she was able to drill back into the mirror world before she was discovered, and did not cause a tragedy.
Coincidental......
Trissy's hand holding the pie froze in the air, her eyes puzzled and a hint of horror at Angel, but she only caught a phantom of entering the mirrored world.
Seigor looked at Triss indifferently and asked rhetorically, this tone made Angel feel that the other party was playing some kind of role, perhaps in order to fit the "personality" of the "secret couple" itself, so Angel just chuckled and replied:
"She volunteered."
If you want to return to reality quietly, it is undoubtedly better to choose a mirror that can reflect the real object, but it is not impossible to use glass and water, it is nothing more than the size of the movement and the difference between spirituality.
Triss laughed from her throat and replied. Since Angel appeared, she no longer disguised herself as a weak appearance, but resumed her daytime flamboyance, which made her witch charm fully exud, more eye-catching than Angel, who often hid her attractiveness.
Entering the world of mirrors, Angel quickly found a place in the complex passages that led to 160 Berlund Street, bright with ready-made mirrors such as vanity mirrors and full-length mirrors, and dim with glass windows and calm water.
"So, let's talk about your problem," Seeing Triss bow her head and remain silent, Angel spoke, "I guess you can also see that I have a certain degree of cooperation with this 'blood general', and our goal is the truth behind the Great Smog, so we will give you some help, but in the same way, our enemies will also wait in the shadows to make a move, so most of the clues are still up to you." ”
"The Blood General," replied the secret puppet with a blank face:
In Angel's dark vision, the center of the silence was the coffee table on the balcony of the bedroom, where a man with short blond-brown hair and a black trench coat sat in the chair, his right leg resting on his left leg, his hands between his knees, and a silver-white metal box beside him.
Angel replied ominously, knowing that even if she didn't point it out, Triss would definitely investigate the current situation of the "Blood Admiral" Señor, and would inevitably find out that the pirate general had died a month ago in the battle between the Rose School and the unknown faction, and even her own fleet had been divided among her men.
"When investigating Viscount Stafford and approaching who is behind the scenes, be sure to pay attention to the 'coincidence' events encountered."
Angel opened her mouth, but in the end it did not stimulate Triss's fragile mind, and instead looked at Seigor and asked:
The secret puppet nodded silently, and the figure immediately faded, entering the real "resentful soul" state, Angel guessed that this position was already the limit distance for Klein to control the secret puppet at home, so he had been pretending to be standing in place, and he could only move directly through the wall, otherwise there was a risk of loss.
Angel told Klein the information that William Sykes, the "psychic" had received during the day, and finally said:
"Viscount Steford is obviously also instructed, you can let her investigate and contact first, and we hide behind the scenes to avoid being detected by 'him'."
Muttering to herself, Angel stepped out of the full-length mirror in her bedroom.
"What's going on? Didn't you hide to recuperate, how could you provoke this 'blood general'? ”
Coincidental!
"If you need help, you can still use communication potions, but I can't guarantee that it will show up like this every time...... Also, you really don't plan to hide in a different place? ”
"I didn't dare to go back to my residence in the East District, I just hid in the sewers of the North District, I thought it was a quiet hiding place, but I didn't expect it to be more lively than the market in the middle of the night, curious girls, enthusiastic housekeepers, mysterious resentful spirits, and me, the injured witch......"
"I didn't tell Klein the details in front of Triss just now, write a letter tomorrow to explain, let him continue to focus on the note-taking matter, I'll keep an eye on Triss......"
This is perhaps the biggest weakness of the "Master of Secret Puppets...... Angel thought about it, and when the "resentful spirit" disappeared completely, she turned her head and looked at her expression gradually calming down, and her posture was also very low, showing her submissiveness, and for a while she didn't know which state of publicity, excitement, and obedience was the real her.
Maybe after Edsax's death, no one will be able to see the real her......
She can't be mentally ill, I say she volunteered just to tease, but looking at Triss like this, she really seems to be willing to do something for the dead Edsax...... Well, she's happy because there's a powerful pirate general in her "partner", which is understandable......
She looked at Triss behind her, motioning for her to answer, and at the same time relaxed her whole body, easing the tension around her.
Her inconspicuous tone immediately made Triss frown, and then relaxed.
She leaned behind Angel stealthily.
Isn't it really because you're a troublemaker? In Tingen, there was a lot of trouble, and Beckland became a vessel for the gods, and he could hide near the house of the master puppet by drilling into the sewers......
"Just look at the recent newspapers."
At this moment, the witch curled up in the shadows looked extremely fragile.
"She and I are currently working together on a limited basis about the truth about the 'Great Smog' and the murder of Prince Edsak......"
"You're going to tell her to be the bait in front of her?"
"Passing by, I thought I could harvest a 'pain' witch's characteristics, but I didn't expect it to be someone you knew."
Even if he likes men, you can switch to the "Red Priest" path, and it may be easier to cultivate a team of like-minded minions than to kill the demigods yourself...... Angel sneered, nodded and said:
"What about you? How did you get into the sewer in the middle of the night? ”
"As my familiarity with the world has increased, I can reach almost any part of the city in an instant, and although I am not as fast as Mr. Azik's spiritual realm, I can observe the outside world through a mirror at any time......
The apparently sarcastic words did not infuriate Triss, who instead showed the most heartfelt smile since entering the sewers.
She thought of everything that happened after she came to Beckland, and was lucky enough to meet someone from the "Witch Sect", who happened to have a task that needed her, and happened to be "love at first sight" by Edsax, and repeatedly encountered various accidents when fleeing from the other party......
In confusion, she sat in place for a while before shaking her head, taking out the pie that had already been cold, and filling her stomach with sweet iced tea.
The brief silence finally made Triss realize that something was wrong, and the smile on her lips disappeared, and her gaze moved back and forth between the two of them, finally resting on the "desperate" witch who had her back to her.
How can there be a feeling of a parent who helps a child get ahead, but fortunately, the opponent is also an old acquaintance...... Angel finally couldn't hold back a chuckle and spoke:
Angel refocused his gaze on the secret puppet manipulated by Crane, who was expressionless, but his eyes conveyed the deep confusion of the "secret puppet master".
————
By then, she would have known that Señor was a dead man today...... Angel no longer persuaded and was about to leave with the help of the ice that had not yet thawed, but before leaving, he looked at Triss again, hesitated for a moment and said:
As soon as her feet stepped on the solid ground, she noticed that the light in the bedroom was dimmer than usual, the crimson moonlight outside the window seemed to be cut off, and the wall lamps that had been lit for a long time could only illuminate a small area next to the lampstand, and the whole building seemed to fall into a dead silence, except for the soft sound of her stepping on the carpet.
"The cowardly Miss Thief has been driven away, and the 'Wraith' is one of her own, and this place is probably much safer than the rest of Beckland.
- Why did her expression change as if she had summoned a savior, but it was you who came?
The loss of the secret puppet means permanent loss, and the "blood general" is already in some kind of death state, and will die immediately if it is out of control, and there is no chance of "secret couple" again.
Triss elegantly unfolded the wrapping paper in the basket, her voice fluctuating.
His words almost admitted that he knew Angel, but judging by Triss's expression and relaxed attitude, she had almost guessed it, so there was no need to hide it.
She was referring to Ince Zangwill and "0-08", and it was reasonable for Triss, who escaped to be manipulated by the other party, to pursue the truth out of hatred, but "Christine Teresa" and "Dawn Dantès" did not.
Out of the corner of her eye, Angel looked at Triss's changing expression, sighed secretly, and said to Seigor:
"You leave first, and I'll take care of the rest of the matter."
"I'm curious that you would work with the 'Blood Admiral', I heard that he was an executioner who killed for fun, slaughtering passengers and sailors all over the ship, smearing their blood on the deck......"
"I didn't expect you to be there for half an hour, I knew I would come back later."
"Sword of the Goddess" Crestai Cesima chuckled, and a magnetic voice came out of his mouth hidden behind the stand-up collar of his trench coat.
