Chapter 439 Miss Sharon's Promotion
Mr. Z's ability to jump out of the mirror was very familiar to Triss; she had seen it on Panadia more than once before, and it was practically the signature ability of a demigod witch.
But in her mind, Mr. Z was clearly a demigod of the "Hunter" path.
"Could it really be as I suspected, that Panatia and the other demigod witch died at his hands, rather than the Augustus family discarding them after they had served their purpose?"
Despite having many guesses in her mind, Triss did not hesitate in her actions, and quickly stood up to greet Z.
The gentleman bowed and greeted him.
"Greetings, Mr. Z. Are you saying you've established direct contact with the Fursac Empire?"
Evan didn't answer Triss's question immediately. Instead, he looked around and could see the warning spider webs that Triss had spread throughout the new house. Judging from the strength of the webs, he could tell that Triss had absorbed the "Witch of Pain" potion very well during this time.
Evan marveled, then turned his gaze to Triss, who was becoming increasingly beautiful, yet with an ever-growing, captivating charm. He exclaimed, "As expected of the vessel for the Primordial Witch's divine intervention, your potion-wielding speed is beyond description!"
Triss paused for a moment, then gave a bleak smile and said, "I'd rather not have this talent, not have this speed of digestion."
Actually, I didn't intentionally act out the role, but the potion's digestion process was visibly accelerating.
I even have a feeling that the potion is adapting to me, rather than me digesting it!
Evan narrowed his eyes and looked Triss up and down again, because his feeling was similar to Triss's. After he was promoted to "Iron-Blooded Knight" and "Despair Witch", he had not found a suitable opportunity to play the role, but the magic potion in his body was being digested little by little, although not as exaggerated as Triss's.
Perhaps it's because of the high status brought by the "City of Calamity" that I am affected, while Triss's situation might be due to her own gravitas towards the Primal Witch, which is also understandable.
But Klein didn't have this problem at all. Does that mean we have different ways of controlling things at the highest level?
The secrets at the end of the sequence are more numerous than I imagined!
Evan's mind raced, and he instantly considered many things. Looking at the somewhat desperate Triss, he smiled and took out the "Iron-Blooded Knight" extraordinary trait he had just acquired, saying with a smile, "So you need to complete the cross-path advancement as soon as possible and see if you can use this method to interrupt the Primordial Witch's erosion and transformation of you!"
Triss stared at the reddish-gray crystal, which still seemed to be stained with blood, her mouth slightly agape. "This is the extraordinary characteristic of the 'Iron-Blooded Knight'? Where did it come from?" she asked incredulously.
"Of course, it was a gift from the Fussac Empire!"
Evan casually tossed the extraordinary ability to Triss and joked.
"You should probably keep this extraordinary property to yourself for now!"
Triss hurriedly caught the extraordinary ability that flew towards her, but the moment she touched it, she felt her entire body affected by the extraordinary ability. She felt as if she had been hacked and chopped by knives and axes, and dismembered. She only felt a little better after she put down the extraordinary ability.
"As Emperor Roselle once said, 'One should not accept a reward without merit.' I have not yet made any contribution to the Lord, so I cannot rashly accept such a precious and extraordinary quality."
Although the extraordinary qualities before her were very tempting, Triss, who had struggled at the bottom of society since childhood, knew all too well that no one would be kind to you for no reason.
Therefore, before she fully understood the Aurora Club's arrangements and mission for her, she didn't want to accept this extraordinary characteristic without knowing the details, because it might cause her to lose even more.
Although it seems that she never had any choice from beginning to end.
Evan looked at Triss with admiration, feeling that if it weren't for the fact that she was the vessel for the primordial witch's divine descent, he would really want to capture her and bring her under his command.
With the extraordinary characteristics of a demigod right in front of him, being able to resist the temptation and remain calm is something that no ordinary person could do.
"Your next task is actually very simple: you must become the Aurora Association's spokesperson in front of Ahomatowa Einhorn."
And you must use his power and your own special abilities to weaken the Witch Cult and the Gnostic Society as much as possible, and to target the Augustus family's schemes!
This extraordinary quality came from Maxim, one of his men sent to Backlund.
And you must remember, it was in your likeness, in full view of everyone, that I rescued Maxim from the clutches of the Backlund authorities—
Evan recounted everything he could say from yesterday to today, leaving Triss speechless.
"So, in the eyes of all the powers, I've now become a demigod-level witch?"
"That's right. Only in this way can we make the Witch Cult and the Grim Reaper make the corresponding misjudgment, and make them send people to enter Backlund again."
This will also increase your standing in Ahomatowa Einhorn's eyes!
Mr. Z, Evan, said matter-of-factly.
"But aren't you worried that this news will cause Ahomatova Einhorn to misjudge the situation, making unreasonable demands on me and ultimately exposing my true colors?"
Triss felt that Mr. Z was behaving in a way that was inconsistent with his previous behavior in this matter.
"So when you meet with Him, try to avoid cooperation that might expose your true strength. If you really can't avoid it, then tell Him directly that you want to use Maxim's extraordinary properties to balance the effects of the Witch Path potion."
I think Ahomatowa Einhorn would be very interested in this and would then express his support!
After all, his desire to contact you is essentially aimed at the Witch Cult and the Gnostic Society, and even that Primordial Witch whose state is unknown!
As for Maxim's death, that's even easier to explain; just say he died from his injuries.
Even if Akhomatowa Einhorn knew the truth, he wouldn't speak for the dead!
"Ivan said confidently, while adding to himself in his mind."
In this way, the fact that Maxim's spirit did not return to Him after his death can be logically attributed to the special nature of the vessel used by the Primordial Demon Goddess!
Triss frowned slightly and thought for a moment, feeling that something seemed off.
"In that case, my task doesn't seem too difficult, after all, you've already paved the way."
But the returns don't seem to be very high. What exactly do you want to do?
Is it just to connect me with Ahomatova Einhorn?
It seems that all Evan has gone through is merely deepening the conflict between the Einhorn family and the witch organization.
"That's not your concern. Just make sure this communication channel is maintained!"
If you can gradually gain his trust through communication, that will be a great achievement.
So you don't need to have too many concerns; you can accept this extraordinary property.
Evan wants to use Triss to dig a huge pit for Akhmatova Einhorn, but he can't let Triss know.
Triss understood that she had no choice from beginning to end, and being a decisive person, she knew she had to accept the task since Mr. Z had already told her so much.
Triss took out a jewelry box, set up a spiritual wall, and placed the precious and extraordinary property inside for safekeeping.
Evan, who had been watching Triss's movements, suddenly pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "This is the potion recipe for 'Iron Knight,' take a look!"
After Triss received the potion formula, she saw the promotion ceremony that required training at least thirty subordinates and looked at Evan in surprise.
"Don't look at me like that. You can't blame me for the promotion ceremony. But I don't think this ceremony is anything special for a witch. You just need to show your charm a little, and you can immediately gain a bunch of admirers who will be willing to die for you and be infatuated with you."
Evan looked at Triss with a somewhat ambiguous tone, as if he wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
Triss did indeed show her aversion to Mr. Z's proposal.
In the past, she wouldn't have minded using this method, but ever since she and Edsack Augustus confronted each other and expressed their feelings, she could no longer tolerate contact with other men and had completely evolved into the legendary "pure love warrior." Although she still firmly believed in her heart that she was male and spared no effort to restore her male body.
"Um, is there any possibility of using some trickery in this ceremony, such as bringing followers of the Aurora Society under my command?"
Triss was also very quick-witted and immediately started thinking about how to take advantage of the situation.
"That is to convert their faith in the Lord into loyalty to you, which is blasphemy against the faith in the Lord!"
Mr. Z's voice immediately turned stern, and the atmosphere in the entire house plummeted to freezing point, making Triss feel as if she was facing a wild beast that could go out of control at any moment.
There isn't a single normal person in the Aurora Club. Even Mr. Z, who usually acts perfectly normal, is essentially a madman!
Triss dared not be careless. While secretly on guard, ready to flee at any moment, she hurriedly made the sign of the cross on her chest, admitting her mistake with extreme fear, "I misunderstood and spoke without thinking. My faith in the Lord is unwavering and unshakable!"
Upon hearing Triss's apology, Evan pretended to make the sign of the cross on his chest and offered a prayer. Then, in a gentle tone, he said, "Since you didn't do it on purpose this time, I forgive you on behalf of the Lord."
But the root of your mistake this time lies in your undisciplined faith in the Lord. I will punish you by making you personally copy the doctrine one hundred times!
When Triss heard that Mr. Z was willing to forgive her, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the thought of having to copy the doctrine, which was comparable to a dictionary, a hundred times made her face turn pale.
To be honest, she still hasn't finished reading that doctrine!
But now is not the time for her to bargain. Judging from Mr. Z's behavior just now, she has no doubt that if she dares to bargain, he will immediately go berserk.
So although she was a little scared of the punishment, she firmly said she would accept it!
Evan watched as Triss's face turned pale, yet she could only grit her teeth and accept the punishment, and he chuckled inwardly!
He didn't actually care about Triss's belief in the true Creator at all; he was just using it as an excuse.
His reason for using this as an excuse to punish Triss was simple: to reinforce Mr. Z's unpredictable and crazy image in her mind, preventing Triss from developing any suspicions about Evan Horn in the future. After all, Alice, as Evan Horn's representative, was about to make contact with Triss, and Evan didn't want to expose his identity to him yet.
"Actually, there is indeed room for you to take shortcuts in this ritual."
Evan also hoped that Triss could be promoted to Ironblood Knight as soon as possible, so he had already thought about her promotion ceremony.
"Huh? What is it?"
Triss was very surprised that there was actually a clever way to do it.
"Those who remain loyal to Edsac Augustus, find a way to transfer their loyalty to you. This will greatly reduce the difficulty of preparing the ritual. However, the drawback is also obvious: Edsac Augustus can thwart your ascension ritual at a crucial moment!"
Although Triss and Edsack Augustus's relationship was portrayed as it was in the original story, Evan harbored doubts about such a relationship.
Triss also fell silent. She understood Mr. Z's subtext: if Edsack Augustus knew that he wanted to return to his male form, would he still trust her as much as he does now?
After all, their relationship is currently one of two different surnames, but if something really changes, then they will become one of the same surname.
Triss thought for a long time, and finally blurted out, "I believe him."
"Just keep it in mind."
Evan also wanted to use the changes in their relationship to indirectly study the mindset of the "Primal Witch," since Triss was becoming more and more like the "Primal Witch."
From this point of view alone, Triss is priceless to Evan.
"Your relationship with Edsack Augustus is no secret. I will have someone send you a list of people who may still be loyal to him as soon as possible. You can contact them in Edsack Augustus's name!"
You need to be prepared these next few days. With Maxim dead at Backlund, Akhmatova Einhorn will send someone else to find you sooner or later. Be careful!
After saying that, Evan jumped into the dressing mirror and left without any hesitation in front of Triss!
Triss sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her beautiful reflection in the mirror, unconsciously touching her cheek with her hand, her eyes filled with conflict.
When Evan returned to his baron's mansion, the butler respectfully presented him with many invitations and envelopes that had just been sent that day.
Evan casually tossed the invitations aside on the sofa, then flipped through them to see who had written them.
Soon, Evan discovered a letter signed Mrs. Maria.
"Has Miss Sharon completed her promotion ceremony?"
