Chapter 39: Plan before you act
Let this "man in the mirror", who vilely occupies the identity of the real Pierce, die like a hero?
Angel thought about it for a moment and understood what Cesima meant.
The "Man in the Mirror" still plays the role of the original senior deacon Pierce Turner, and it is likely that the details will not be disclosed after being disposed of, and will die as the "real" Pierce.
It would be unfair to the real Pierce, who had already failed to be promoted on the island of ParΓ‘ and unfortunately lost control, but who had "cut himself off" at the last moment, who had no relatives and was alone and did not need to worry about the opinions of his relatives, but apparently the Templars thought that he should be given a more dignified ending.
"I see, what should I do?"
Thinking of all this, Angel asked.
"Don't worry, the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Night Watch' of the real Lord Pierce are in your hands, the 'Man in the Mirror' cannot have the full power of a demigod, he may have a corresponding camouflage method that allows him to deceive other colleagues in the church, and even Archbishop Anthony, who is also a demigod, but the real power is probably only between Sequence 5 and Sequence 4."
The first reaction of any official extraordinary person who hears a similar name must be this...... Angel nodded and replied:
So that's it......
But there is a problem with this, the power of the witch sect in Beckland was swept away by the three major churches after the big haze, and at this moment, except for the "ageless" witch Katarina, who didn't know where to hide, only the supernumerary Triss went into the sewers to wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the royal family, investigate the truth, the entire capital of the Rune Kingdom is almost a witch vacuum, and the concentration is probably not as good as small cities like Tingen and Enmat.
In the majestic palace, in front of the "Fool", a light lit up, and the "magician" appeared on her own high-backed chair, she looked around and found that unlike the usual Tarot meeting, except for the "Fool" shrouded in gray mist, only the "Queen" and the "World" were present.
"I just wanted to ask the Abrahams a little bit about the history of the Quaternary, even if they didn't meet each other, just by letter."
"That's right, my ...... An informant recently discovered the gathering, confirming the identity of the organizers. Wouldn't it be the most perfect plan if Pierce could be allowed to appear nearby, or even go directly to the Aurora Society, and then die because of the 'Aurora Society's attack'? β
"First of all, you have to provide all the information about that meeting, in great detail, so that we can make a plan. Second, on Friday nights, don't go to the party and also prevent all the friends you know from attending; Finally, hand over the spellbook in your hand in advance that can record extraordinary abilities, and this battle may need its help.
"Otherwise, let's return the manuscript, I've earned enough agency fees anyway......"
"Yes," said another, more familiar voice, from Mr. "Fool," "'Magician,' if you have no objection, be ready in fifteen minutes." β
The two continue to discuss the details of the follow-up until Angel's carriage leaves the North Side and enters the Hillston Side, and the High Deacon, "Goddess's Sword", leaves the dream and allows Angel to wake up from the carriage.
In this case, it will be very difficult to deceive Pierce out of the church reasonably, so you can only design some clues first, let the church "unintentionally" find out, and gradually investigate the head of the witch sect, and then let Pierce lead the team to clear the ......
Sesima muttered, her dark green eyes lit up like a lake in the forest.
With a shake of her hand, the thick stack of manuscript paper spilled to the ground, and Gelman and Tracy overlapped each other, clinging to each other.
"The next meeting will be held the day after tomorrow, at 8 p.m. on a Friday night, in an alley between Black Palm Street and Moby Dick Street...... It is best to let him come alone to avoid implicating the other night watchmen. β
A real "demigod" participating in the strangulation of Louis Vane will undoubtedly greatly increase the success rate, and this "Angelica Thatch" has a bounty of 100,000 pounds at sea, and has climbed the threshold of the "Pirate King", and his strength is undoubted.
"You were going to deal with that Mr. X, what are you interested in about him? Identity, magical item, or is it 'itself'? β
"That's a good plan, I think the Templar should agree, when do you need him to be in the Eastside?"
"As for the payment I need...... Maybe I'll have to get in touch with the Abrahams later, and I'll need you to connect us. β
ββββ
The only problem is that the Empress asks to contact the Abrahamic family, the forces represented by her teacher Dorian, a condition similar to that proposed by the Hermit, but the latter explicitly states that he only asks questions related to Mr. Gate, and that the Empress is a demigod and will not be detrimental to the teacher......
It's Mr. "The World...... Firth quickly judged the source of the voice, and his heart chuckled, remembering the true identity of this member of the Tarot Society, that is, Gelman Sparrow, who had killed the "Blood General" a month earlier, and was promoted to the title of the strongest adventurer, with a bounty of 45,000 pounds.
"It's up to you, I, or the church, for support, can trick him out of the church for the right reason to be in the right place at the right time, and other than that, the night watchmen, the Red Gloves, and no one from the 'Goddess Army' will support him in battle...... Well, except for you. β
The gray mist disappeared, and the majestic voice still echoed in the ears of the "magician" Falth, who quickly picked up the manuscript papers, stuffed them into the locked cabinet under the bed in the bedroom, and then tore off the mask on her face, revealing a face about the same color as the white mask.
As when she was planning to deal with Mr. X, her concern was not about facing a demigod, but about the innocent people who were fighting between the two high-order extraordinaires.
In a house in the Jowood district, Furth is lying on a sofa in the living room, wearing a hydrating skin mask said to have come from the Russell court, holding an unbound manuscript and reading it, occasionally making notes and revisions with a pen.
Angel retorted with a chuckle.
Unlike Zatwin, who was suppressed by the higher-order Anne almost the entire time, the last "complete" demigod, "Lady of Despair" Panatia, had experienced first-hand how much harm she had done to Beckland.
Hearing the words of the "Queen", Furth was first ecstatic, then full of doubts.
Suddenly, the passage before her eyes of Gelman vs. "Lieutenant General of Disease" Tracy was masked by gray fog, and a low, hoarse voice came to her ears:
"Dear Mr. Fool, please tell Miss 'Magician' that I have a plan to deal with 'Mr. X' that I need to discuss with her, and if I can borrow the Tarot Society's premises for a private meeting?"
Angel thanked the great being at the head of the long table, then looked at the "magician" and said:
"Miss Magician, I will also participate in the hunt for 'Mr. X' Louis Vane, and I don't need you to pay too much, but I need your cooperation."
"If you can get Pierce to show up on the East End on Friday night, maybe I can reasonably kill him," she said to Cesima, "and there's been an underground gathering of extraordinaries there recently, and the organizer is said to be 'Mr. X.'" β
"Let me deal with a demigod of the church by myself? Even though I'm the same now, don't you think it's going to be a big risk? β
As she hesitated, Angel seemed to see her concern, and added:
Sesima replied, his hands on his knees, his face a little dark in the hazy light and shadow of the dream.
"Mr. X......"
As if seeing everything, Cesima said with a smile on her face, if it weren't for the collar covering her mouth, Angel should be able to see the upturned corners of his mouth.
The strangest thing is that even these pirate generals, who have been exported to the Rorsted Islands and dominate the world, did not express their opinions, and seemed to have a tacit attitude towards these scandals, which made Furth feel the gold content of the opening sentence "based on real events".
She muttered to herself, locked the door, sealed the bedroom with a spiritual wall, and sat down beside the bed until a crimson glow enveloped her.
"He's the Aurora Society's new envoy to Beckland?"
It is necessary to provide information, otherwise they may not be willing to make a big move in Beckland and kill an Aurora Divine Envoy, and let me and Hugh not attend the meeting on the day, probably for fear that the battle will affect us, which is a battle involving demigods...... Firth analyzed the other party's words, as for the right to use "Lemanno's Travel Notes", she had already agreed with the "world", and she did not feel doubts.
Thinking of this, Angel suddenly had a plan.
But she was willing to help herself, and she didn't need much pay, which made Furth not quite believe it, and cautiously retorted:
"What do you need to pay for, and what do you need me to do?"
She looked at the maid Aisha, who was sitting opposite, apparently still awake from her dream, and chuckled secretly, and bowed her head to recite the honorific name of Mr. Fool.
Before the other party arrived, she had already negotiated with "The World" Crane, just waiting for the member who issued the commission to agree.
Angel said slowly.
It was sent by her pen pal in the Rorsted Islands, the second installment of the Great Adventurer Gelman series.
Her first thought was to take action head-on, kill the fake Pierce, and fake the scene of the "Witch Sect" taking revenge on the Night Church, and with Sesima coordinating internally, the Church's Extraordinary Ones could be "late" and let her leave safely.
Sesima closed her eyes and wrote down the address and time, and after a moment nodded:
"If he didn't want to reveal his true strength, he probably wouldn't ask other night watchmen to accompany him, or only let them assist on the periphery. And with his authority, he can bring out a Tier 1 seal, which is likely to be one of several items that complement his abilities......"
"Thank you, Mr. Fool."
It's the same as the Ice Dragon of the "King of the North", but there is a huge difference in size, so it's not terrifying...... After listening to Cessima's explanation, Angel relaxed a little and began to think about how to solve this "man in the mirror" at the right time and place, and meet the church's requirements to give him "decency".
Due to the lack of an authoritative publishing house at sea, the pen pal of Firth has commissioned her to publish two books on behalf of Beckland, although the title is a bit vulgar, but the content is surprisingly wonderful, well-documented, the protagonist has a distinct personality, and it also involves the intimate life of a real pirate general, which is widely loved by readers in the Kingdom of Rune, and Intis even has a publisher who writes to Foirth to publish it there for a large fee.
In order to herd Mr. X and solve the "Man in the Mirror" Pierce at the same time, there are still so many things to improve in the plan, she has to find a way to have a meeting with the relevant people!
ββββ
"Magician" Furth breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and replied:
"No problem, then let's talk about Friday's, well, the killing operation."
