Chapter 123 Mirror Magic Out of Control
Since advancing to Sequence 8 Extraordinary and choosing to prematurely utilize the 'Witch's' mirror magic, Evan discovered that his 'Gray Vision' had evolved further. Wherever there are mirrors, he can now monitor others through them.
The area is within a radius of 200 meters centered on Evan.
When Evan realized that Helen was going to use the full-length mirror in her bedroom to contact her mother, he began to spy on her.
At first, Evan was only looking down into the bedroom through the "gray-white vision".
When Helen successfully contacted her mother, in Evan's vision, there was another occult mirror connected to the mirror in his bedroom.
Limited by the small scope of the "gray-white field of vision," Evan could only perceive that this occult connection came from the north, while Helen's mother was unaware of Evan's spying.
This greatly surprised Evan, as it indicated that the Mysterious City held a very high status, completely suppressing Helen's mother's high-sequence special abilities. This not only allowed Evan, a low-sequence extraordinary being, to detect the traces of the high-sequence witch, but also gave Evan the possibility of tracking her in reverse.
After realizing that Helen's mother hadn't sensed his spying, Evan made an even bolder decision. He used mirror magic in the living room to connect the living room mirror to the bedroom mirror, creating a secret meeting between the three of them. Evan heard everything Helen and her mother said.
The content of this conversation also greatly benefited Evan.
First, he confirmed that the Augustan royal family did indeed possess a Hunter's Path Sequence 1 "Conqueror" with extraordinary characteristics.
Evan only knew the sequence name "Conqueror" because of the description of "War Bishop" Tony Down in the original work. In fact, it is not certain whether "Conqueror" is Sequence 2 or Sequence 1 of the Hunter Path.
The reason why the Rune royal family believes that the witch angels of the Witch Cult would not watch their Sequence 3 sister, daughter, or granddaughter become a big-dick man is because they think the Witch Angels of the Witch Cult would have a Sequence 1 trait.
It is now 100% confirmed that "Conqueror" is the Sequence 1 name of the Hunter Path, and the possibility that the Ironblood Cross, who believe in the True Creator, possesses a copy of the "Conqueror" extraordinary trait has also increased.
Second: The collaboration between the Witch Cult and King George III was for a very large purpose.
Since George III used a Sequence 1 Extraordinary trait as a bargaining chip for cooperation with the Witch Cult, he must have believed that his gains after success would exceed those of a Sequence 1 trait. This made Evan even more curious about what George III wanted to do.
As to whether the Witch Cult was cooperating with George III personally or with the Augustan royal family, Evan leaned towards the latter, because the Augustan royal family clearly possessed angels or even archangels, and without their approval, George III would not have offered such a large stake for a deal.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Helen's mother said in her last words: We are all "original" children, and we all need to get closer to her.
This statement is practically an admission that the bloodline of the Gnostic Society also originates from the Primordial Witch. Evan's previous guesses were all correct; the Gnostic Society was founded by the Primordial Witch's daughter, who was a born witch angel.
Moreover, the source of the "assassin" path, the Primal Witch, has encountered a major problem. She may have serious issues with her gender identity, and it cannot be ruled out that she has developed a mental disorder. This is even more fortunate news for Evan.
No matter how ambitious and confident Evan was, facing a god-level opponent still put him under a lot of psychological pressure.
As for Helen's mother's question about why the witch cult was confident in targeting a member of the royal family, it was purely a matter of information asymmetry.
She thought the Witch Cult was plotting against the Augustus royal family, but in reality, it was a two-way cooperation. So even a slight information gap could be fatal. If she couldn't see through this, she would suffer a great loss sooner or later.
Evan is now even considering the possibility that George III and the Witch Cult are using Edsack Augustus's actions as bait, and that the target of their bait is very likely the Gnostic.
Evan put himself in George III's shoes. Having chosen the Witch Cult as an ally, he figured his first priority would be to use a sting operation to eliminate any threats that could be resolved before considering anything else.
Although he deduced from the information he gleaned from the original work that Triss's approach to Edsac Augustus might be a setup, Evan was not prepared to alert the Gnostic.
Judging from Natasha's actions yesterday, the Witch Cult intends to involve Evan in this operation. Evan may already be involved, which will help him gather relevant information.
If Evan tells the Witch Cult about the trap set up by the Gnostic Society, the Gnostic Society will be safe, but Evan will get nothing but a small, insignificant reward and will also have to bear the risk of being investigated by the Witch Cult afterwards.
Furthermore, the Gnostic treated Evan as a breeding tool and a consumable from beginning to end, never considering him as one of their own. From the moment Evan drank the "Assassin" potion, they had already decided on his fate.
This made Evan particularly unhappy. Although Evan didn't consider them his own people, he was absolutely happy to see the Gnostic Society suffer a blow.
In fact, after Evan discovered that his cheat ability had an absolute power to suppress the witches of the Witch Cult, he had already planned to instigate infighting between the two major witch organizations.
Moreover, Helen and her daughter's plans made Evan feel the urgency to promote Pu Sheng again; he didn't want to become a catalyst for Helen's promotion.
Now that the main materials for "The Witch" have been collected, Evan has decided to close the deal with Zeryl in the next few days.
Trade the "Arsonist" special ability from Deputy Chief Jonas.
As the Lannuls deception escalated, Klein, due to Evan's "instigation," failed to stop the situation from spiraling out of control. Evan sensed that he would be able to fully digest the potion in a few days, and he prepared for a secret promotion.
Having planned what he needed to do in the future, Evan slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. Being with Helen today had been too exhausting, and he needed a good night's sleep to recover.
Backlund, Crown Racecourse.
Audrey wore a veiled hat adorned with blue ribbons and silk flowers, light-colored gauze gloves, and a white long dress with leg-of-mutton sleeves and ruffles. She sat on the balcony of the noble box, gazing at the racehorses galloping wildly on the track. Her gaze was cold and distant, as if she could not blend into the lively atmosphere.
At this moment, Viscount Grelint leaned close to Audrey, glanced at the people around them, and lowered his voice to say:
"Audrey, I have met a truly extraordinary person, an extraordinary person who does not belong to royalty."
"Really?"
"I swear on the honor of my father, who has returned to the Goddess's Kingdom, this time it is true, and I have witnessed her extraordinary power."
Audrey has become a 'spectator' and no longer cares about these kinds of things, but considering that she will have more to exchange with others at the Tarot meeting in the future, and cannot always rely on money to pave the way, it is necessary to expand her network of extraordinary people and have her own channels.
So Audrey opened her beautiful eyes wide, her gaze filled with surprise, and she smiled charmingly, asking tremblingly:
When will I be able to see her?
Viscount Grelint was pleased with Audrey's reaction and, watching the racehorse about to cross the finish line, said:
"Tomorrow afternoon, I'm hosting a salon about literature and music at my home. I'll have someone send you an invitation in a bit."
Audrey nodded, indicating that she would definitely go tomorrow. Suddenly, her self-sight swept over the private room of Count Akhova's mansion not far away. Through the balcony, she could see that the room was full of powerful figures sitting together, chatting and laughing, which was very lively. However, Evan was not there.
With parliament about to enter its recess, today the bigwigs of Ruen's political scene gathered to watch horse racing for their final get-together and social event.
Audrey wasn't actually interested in horse racing; she only came with her father because she thought Evan might come to watch.
To her disappointment, Evan did not appear with his brother, Lord Robert, and Audrey, being a girl, could not rashly go forward to ask or inquire.
Audrey had long wanted to meet Mr. "Power" Evan Horn in real life, but they hadn't seen each other since the ball at Earl Hall's mansion. Audrey had been unable to find an opportunity to get close to Evan, which was causing her some distress.
She longed for a superhuman friend in reality with whom she could share her secrets, so she spoke again to Viscount Grelint:
"Why don't we send an invitation to Lord Robbock's brother, Mr. Evan, who gave you some pointers at the ball last time? You also said that he has joined MI9 and is a true Extraordinary. We can ask him to protect us. After all, no one knows whether the Extraordinary we are going to meet is a good person or not."
Viscount Grelint hesitated for a moment after hearing Audrey's words, but finally nodded in agreement. However, he was not confident that he could invite Evan to come, because he had sent Evan invitations more than once when he held parties at home before, but had not received a response.
During this time, Viscount Grelint brought gifts and visited the Earth Mother Church in the southern district of the bridge more than once, hoping to buy the "Pharmacist's" potion recipe. However, the priest inside, who exuded a strong sense of oppression, was unyielding and refused to sell him the recipe unless he converted to the Earth Mother. Otherwise, he would have to abide by the agreement with the other churches in Rune and not spread the potion recipe at will.
This left him, who had always longed to become a 'pharmacist,' feeling quite helpless. He also wanted to see Evan to see if there were any other ways. Meanwhile, unfavorable news about Lanluus began to appear on the streets of Tingen, but it did not have a significant impact because something bigger broke out in Tingen, which overshadowed the rumors.
Meanwhile, Klein, who was having breakfast at home, also learned from the newspaper that the dock workers had not received their wages the day before. Under the threat of running out of food at home, the angry workers became enraged and started a strike, triggering a chain reaction that eventually led to a collective strike in major factories.
The standoff between workers and military police eventually escalated into a bloody conflict, which spiraled out of control. Police opened fire to suppress the unrest, resulting in the deaths of more than 20 people and injuries to hundreds of workers.
Klein stared at the photos of police beating workers in the newspaper and fell silent, unable to utter a single word.
