Chapter 905 Caught Off Guard
After promising Dorian that he would give an answer in the near future, Angel left the hotel and went straight to Klein's home in the North District through the mirror passage. As expected, he found that Klein was not at home.
After learning of George III's plan, the "trickster" used all his free time to travel around the world, creating terrifying but harmless horror scenes in front of ordinary people, guiding the horror story like a "horror film director" and completing his own role.
This is a proven effective role-playing rule. Although it's because the characters are ordinary people and there's a lack of clear feedback, the effect is indeed quite good. If the war that Adam and George III are looking forward to comes early next year, Klein has the hope of meeting this test as an "ancient scholar."
"I feel like things are getting complicated. The other members of the Tarot Club are also working hard to improve their strength. They all seem to have a sense of crisis..."
Angel muttered to himself when he learned that Audrey, Leonard, and the others were digesting the potion in their own way. He took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote a letter on the table in Klein's bedroom.
To ensure safety, she only focused on describing Dorian's proposal to hunt the "Secret Saint", and briefly mentioned the powerful sealed object "Box of the Ancients", intending to leave it for face-to-face discussion.
As for Triss's plan to arrange a ritual to talk to Mr. Door, the two had reached a conclusion before. Since this witch of revenge was willing to take the risk, they were also happy to move forward with the matter.
At the end of the letter, Angel signed his name with some unfamiliar strokes.
Those are three Chinese characters representing her name.
Satisfied with the results of his study, Angel folded the letter and disguised it with mirror magic so that the servants who strayed in would not find the letter. Then he left the room and used the mirror world to return to his home.
After discovering that Klein went out in the dark to "perform", she felt a sense of urgency and began to consider the problem of digesting the "immortality" potion.
After "traveling" to this era, including the loss of control caused by Cole Granger's failed promotion, she experienced a total of three deaths. The most influential of these was naturally the identity of "Erin Watson" who died during the great smog.
While living in Backlund as Irene, she came into contact with many Beyonders, such as Isengard Stanton, the "Eye of Wisdom", Kavi, the "Craftsman" of the Mechanical Heart, and Ikanser Bernard, who often served as the frame for Arrodes's glasses...
Aside from Sharon, Maric, and the others who already knew from Klein that Angel was still alive, Angel planned to find an opportunity to appear in front of these people in Irene's appearance, attempting a cognitive "resurrection" to see if it would help digest the potion.
"In fact, I suspect that if I go to Saint Samuel's Church and pray as 'Erin Watson', it will greatly help the digestion of the potion. After all, I died in front of the Goddess under this identity... Although He knows the outcome very well, but..."
Angel muttered to himself and returned to his study. He picked up the to-do list compiled by the housekeeper on the table and found that the first item was to increase investment in the "Black Bear Cannery".
After receiving a huge sum of 100,000 pounds from the church, Angel followed the advice of her housekeeper and prepared to diversify the money into various investments in order to ensure the continued appreciation of her assets and help the businesses she owned to develop rapidly.
In addition to asking Elaine to expand the fleet as quickly as possible, she was most interested in the factory in the East District that mainly produced high-quality canned fruits and carbonated beverages. After learning that Angel was willing to continue investing, the butler Barker tactfully suggested that she use this opportunity to increase her equity and completely take control of the factory.
This made Angel feel a little embarrassed because she wanted to share the profits with Sherman and Hugh who had made great contributions. However, she did not expect that Sherman also took the initiative to express this view, hoping that she would get more benefits while increasing her investment.
As for Miss Judgment of the Tarot Club, Hugh Dilcha, her current focus is on MI9. After the disappearance of the former deputy director, Chounas Kilger, the entire intelligence agency has undergone a large number of personnel changes. The man with the golden mask who has been in contact with her has repeatedly invited her to join MI9 as a full member. She had not expressed her opinion at first, but after learning the truth about her father's death, Hugh had new ideas.
"I hope Xio doesn't get herself into trouble. This kind of thing isn't something a Mid-Sequence Beyonder like her can get involved in. It's better to quickly increase her Sequence and strengthen her own strength in anticipation of a change in the situation... As for the change in equity, that requires the involvement of professionals. It's best to hire a lawyer and let him handle everything. There's also the matter of patents and the equipment needed for factory expansion... Hmm, I might have to go to the North District. Backlund University of Technology has everything I need..."
Angel muttered to himself, his eyes casting towards the map of Backlund on the table, stopping at the university in the northern district not far from the Church of Steam's Denis Church.
Lily and Melissa go to school there…it’s already mid-September, so they should be starting school?
Angel suddenly thought.
————
Coming back to the gate of the campus, which was originally a technical college but was reorganized and upgraded to a university at the end of last year, Angel stood in front of the retired locomotive and took a deep breath of the air mixed with light haze, thick engine oil and the pungent smell of unknown chemicals. He felt that his academic qualifications and knowledge had been sublimated.
It was the break between the two morning classes. The leaves of the Intis sycamore trees on campus had turned yellow with the arrival of autumn, swaying in the wind. Students, dressed either elegantly or simply, carrying backpacks or holding books, were walking back and forth on the trail, heading to their next class or their instructor's laboratory.
Most of them have just reached adulthood, some are only sixteen or seventeen years old, born in different families and from different cities, but they exude a vitality that cannot be compared with even the most luxurious and bustling streets outside the school, and their faces are full of desire for knowledge and yearning for the future.
They are the hope for the future of the Kingdom of Loen.
Coming here in person was the right decision. If I had just asked the housekeeper to do this, I wouldn't have been able to see such a peaceful and tranquil campus... Unfortunately, I don't know which classroom Lily and Melissa are in, and I don't want to use divination to confirm it, so as not to disturb their lives...
Angel thought about it, and walked into the campus with the group of students and headed towards the office building of the Faculty of Arts and Law.
On the way, students would occasionally look at the strange girl with black hair and a round face with curiosity. They were curious about the fact that she had no stationery or books with her empty hands, but they politely just watched from a distance and had no intention of striking up a conversation with her.
However, this is also because she used the "Ring of Falsehood" to change her appearance. Otherwise, even if she did not exude any charm, the appearance and natural temperament of a high-ranking witch would make every person of the opposite sex or even the same sex who saw her involuntarily want to get close to her and want to possess her.
In fact, after becoming "ageless", "Christine Therese" had to deliberately lower her appeal in public social occasions. Otherwise, even though her lightning-fast romance with Dwayne Dantes had become a legend, there would still be many noble men who wanted to have an intimate relationship with her, and even hinted that they didn't mind sharing a lover with Dantes.
Angel always had the urge to check their household registration to see if these noble ancestors had Intis blood.
This was also recorded in the life facts recorded in the "Roselle Diary" narrated by Klein. The emperor's private life was far more chaotic than Angel had imagined before, and she even suspected that the current open atmosphere in Intis, which was far more open than other countries, was brought about by this time traveler.
When I learn Chinese, I must study the contents of these diaries carefully... She muttered, and was about to enter the teachers' office building when she suddenly felt spiritually touched and looked sideways.
Two female students walked side by side, holding their books. One of them was a round-faced woman, about twenty years old, with a slender figure. Her long light golden hair was tied into a ponytail and swayed up and down with her steps. Her purple eyes looked at the other girl next to her, who was slightly shorter, seemed to be underage, but more enthusiastic.
The latter's black hair was simply tied back, and her eyes were also looking at the blonde woman beside her. There seemed to be a light in her eyes, and she was constantly whispering something, and the words containing joy were carried by the wind:
"...The mechanical laboratory the principal is planning to set up is recruiting assistants. I'm planning to give it a try. Well, since I often go to his lab to help out after class, he told me about this in advance and asked me to prepare... Lily, is this some kind of hint?"
"It must be that your usual work has earned his approval, Melissa."
The blonde woman called Lily replied calmly.
"Yeah, I think so too. I hope there won't be too many other competitors..."
Melissa nodded, hugging the heavy professional books tightly to her chest. Suddenly, she felt as if someone was looking at her from behind. She subconsciously turned around to look, but found that there was only a busy teacher's office building behind her. Students and teachers who kept coming in and out occasionally cast their eyes over, but most of their eyes were focused on Lily, which made Melissa feel a little strange, but mostly happy.
Well, the weekend is coming soon, and Benson has a whole day off. Should we invite Lily over for dinner? Tromi has been in Backlund for three months and has learned quite a few Feynaporte-style dishes. We can prepare a modest dinner for just the three of us...
She began to wonder inwardly and secretly glanced at Lily beside her. She found that she was looking straight ahead with a calm expression, just like an angel depicted in a painting.
I hope she can be with Benson till the end... No, this time he must be the one to invite her first, I can't ask him anymore!
Melissa roared in her heart and looked away, looking at the crowded square in front of her and the retired steam locomotive placed in the center. The locomotive was surrounded by many students, most of whom were first-year students like Melissa. They were pointing at the locomotive, which had a complex structure but exuded mechanical beauty, and expressed admiration and emotion from time to time.
If I hadn't met Lily in advance and she hadn't introduced everything about this university to me, I would probably be as amazed as they are... A smile quietly crept up at the corner of her mouth, and she and Lily walked around the crowd and headed to the other side of the campus.
Suddenly, a gray shadow fell from the sky. It was shaped like a spindle, with a blunt front end and four fins at the tail. It closed the distance to the ground at an extremely fast speed, but was almost unaffected by the crosswind, and flew straight towards the square full of students.
That was a huge bomb!
