Chapter 204 The Magical City of Pierpont, Part 5
When Angela finished speaking, the curve of her smile was exactly the same as the curve of Beatrice's smile in the portrait behind her, creating a rather eerie feeling in the hallucination.
Those two pairs of eyes, full of mockery, stared silently ahead.
“I don’t understand,” Elena said.
What does it mean for this world to be a twilight of Mokarich?
In her memory, that place was trapped in the dark forest year after year, unable to find a way out, and in the end, the entire kingdom was destroyed by demons. Does Angela mean that without them, without the witch Beatrice, would the Twilight of Mokarich happen everywhere in this world?
"Wow, you understood even before I explained it in detail. No wonder you're the one who finally got her approval," Angela teased. "Don't doubt it, eavesdropping on thoughts up close is a piece of cake for me."
Another one who can read minds?
Can't you guys have a limit to cheating?
Human evolution didn't include me.
"Do you know how Twilight Mokarich came to be? Don't you find it strange that Twilight Mokarich's ancestors migrated to that godforsaken place?" Angela laughed.
To be honest, I had never thought about this question.
After all, it's none of her business, and Elena never thinks that much about it.
“The answer is, it wasn’t that their ancestors migrated to that dark forest,” Angela replied. “On the contrary, it was that dark forest that suddenly surrounded the kingdom of Mokarich at Twilight.”
“You’re lying. How could Eve and the others not know why their kingdom is in this situation?” Elena retorted.
They insist that their ancestors migrated here. If what Angela says is true, then their historical records must contain the truth.
“Even I can manipulate perception,” Angela said. “Do you think it’s very difficult to do something like that? Or is it for a demon, a natural master of manipulating emotions?”
demon……
“It’s not good to talk too much. Let’s stop this topic for now, okay? Trust me, there must be a reason why we’re not talking about it now. Anyway, you’ll find out sooner or later, probably.” Angela stopped the conversation in time. “You can ask about other things. Um, let me ask about one more thing. Someone is coming.”
Irene's brain was working at lightning speed.
As it stands, it seems Angela really just came to say a few words.
Taking action here would clearly be unwise for her.
Think about what questions are most worth asking, so that even if the other person is lying, you can deduce some of the truth behind it.
“Beatelice, is this witch still alive?” Elena asked sharply, pointing to the portrait.
"Seriously, this is another question I can't answer directly," Angela said, exasperated. "Don't get me wrong, there are some things I might not hear even if I tell you."
Did I make another mistake?
Is there anything wrong.
“But you might be different, maybe you can hear the answer,” Angela said. “The answer is—she’s still alive, well, that’s how I understand it.”
"Qin, did you hear that?" Elena asked Qin instinctively.
"She just spoke?" Qin asked incredulously.
Huh? Qin wouldn't joke at this crucial moment, which means that Angela's answer really is only for her to hear. Why? Is there something special about me?
Just because this bored big shot did a fortune telling for himself?
"Well then, let's end this friendly meeting here," Angela chuckled. "Our next meeting might not be so pleasant."
After saying that, Emily, who was being used and controlled by Angela, collapsed.
It was at this moment that a group of patrolling magic guards happened to pass by.
Upon seeing Emily fall to the ground, they immediately surrounded Jean and Elena.
"Terrorist attack—repeated—Terrorist attack! The attacker is a witch! Requesting backup!" the captain shouted, while her team members had already formed a large formation.
"Give up resistance immediately. Raise your hands above your heads," the captain shouted.
Wow—that's so unfair!
What terrible things have they done?
It was all done by that big bad Angela! What does it have to do with me!
But in this situation, even jumping into the ocean wouldn't clear my name. Would they believe me if I said it was done by a witch who can manipulate others?
It seems I'm going to be taken away no matter what.
"Um, I surrender right now." Elena took out her wand and prepared to throw it aside.
It's alright, there are magical surveillance cameras around, they'll definitely be able to clear my name.
But the moment Elena pulled out her wand, it caused a high level of tension throughout the patrol: "They've started attacking me! Requesting backup! Repeat, requesting backup!"
Don't lie through your teeth.
It's no wonder the captain was so sensitive—the witch had already pulled out her wand; if the magic actually hit her in the face, she wouldn't even be able to call for help.
Elena and Qin were arrested quickly, as expected.
That night, they didn't stay in the rooms they had booked, but instead spent the night in the interrogation room.
Later, based on Emily's explanation after waking up and the real-time reflection from the magical surveillance, it was proven that Emily had suddenly suffered a high blood pressure attack and collapsed to the ground, just as the patrol team happened to be passing by.
Elena and Jean were acquitted, and as compensation, they were given a large sum of money.
This was arguably the only good thing that happened to Elena upon arriving in Pierpoint.
