Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

While sympathizing with this deep paternal love, Joyce suddenly realized a problem. If William had simply handed over this knowledge to the original owner earlier, then he would not have sought out potion formulas, so You won't meet "Witch" Emily, let alone become an "Assassin"...

Is this a model of cheating sons?

Re-read the content of the letter and confirmed that there is no "acting method". William doesn't know the relevant knowledge? Maybe they knew it but swore not to spread it?

From this point of view, there is a high probability that Emily is a member of the "Witch Sect", and only a secret organization that only wants to create disasters will popularize the "acting method" to low-level members.

In short, you need to be more cautious when dealing with her.

"Monsieur Baron, Mr. Charles is calling."

Charlie, why is he here... Joyce first recalled who "Charlie" was in his mind, and was quite surprised by his arrival:

"Let him go to the living room first."

Then, he restored the wooden box to its original shape and put it back into the mechanism inside the bed. After looking around, he noticed that the room had been turned into a mess by him.

"Get someone to tidy up my room."

The first time Sophia entered the room, she thought she was dazzled. The scene in front of her had a great impact on her young heart. The four staple foods were scattered in every corner, and the bed was completely overturned... She suspected that the Baron was manic, or that some wicked and crazy ritual had been performed.

When Joyce walked towards the living room, he began to worry about a problem, would the mechanism be discovered by the servants? But after thinking about it, it has been placed there for some time and has not been found. How can there be such a coincidence, if I care about it, it will be messed up!

"The weather is fine today."

Joyce walked into the living room and saw Charlie sitting on a chair drinking coffee, so he took the initiative to say hello.

Charlie's father is a retired military officer who is now serving in the colonial government. In Bayam, there are many young people with similar backgrounds, and they naturally formed a small circle.

"That's right, so I didn't take a carriage, but came here on horseback." Charlie put down his coffee cup and pretended to complain:

"But this manor is too far away from the city, when do you plan to move back?"

"It's just these two days." Joyce replied casually. The main purpose of being in Rose Manor has been achieved, and he has no reason to stay here. In comparison, there are greater opportunities to contact extraordinary people in the city.

"Very good!"

Charlie clapped his hands excitedly. He didn't expect that the biggest goal of this trip would be achieved so easily, and he didn't seem to do anything. Although it was a bit weird, it didn't hinder his happiness:

"The light of hope is slowly rising on the horizon. Take firm steps, determine the direction, and chase forward quickly..."

Joyce squinted at him:

"That's not like something you'd say."

"Well, haha..." Charlie laughed awkwardly, and explained: "It's actually Thomas who said it. You know, he always advertises himself as a poet."

Joyce gave a simple "hmm", took a sip of the coffee, and the bitter taste spread throughout his mouth, making him frown.

"You have missed two gatherings, and everyone is very worried, so they sent me as a representative to express their condolences. If they know that you have regained your optimism, they will definitely be happy for you..."

Seeing Charlie's excitement even a bit too much, and feeling his unfaltering concern for himself, Joyce said with emotion: "As you said, sadness will always pass, and hope is the eternal theme."

As soon as the words were finished, Sophia walked in with two plates of exquisite pastries with a complicated expression. She raised her head and glanced at Mr. Baron, and found that he was sitting there calmly, with the coffee on the table untouched.

Inadvertently, she also found that Mr. Charlie was looking at her and Mr. Baron with an ambiguous look, which made her a little uncomfortable, and quickly backed out.

Seeing the back of the maid disappearing into the shadow of the corridor, and then looking at Joyce sitting on the chair, Charlie suddenly approached and asked in a beating tone:

"Is the potion I gave you very powerful, can your little maid bear it?"

Potion? What potion? Joyce was surprised at first, and then recalled one thing, before he went to bed with "Witch" Emily, he did drink a powdery thing.

Is that a potion to improve... that ability...? Mummy powder? Charlie doesn't know about himself and Emily, so he thinks that I used the medicine on Sophia?

Well, I seriously doubt the nature of these people's gatherings now... After Joyce thought about the cause and effect, his expression almost froze. He calmly took a sip of the bitter coffee, pretending not to care, and said:

"I gave it to a friend."

Charlie acted as if I understood and would not spread the word:

"I see."

Low EQ: You really make me want to beat you up. High EQ: You have the potential to be a hunter... Joyce didn't look at his funny facial features, and asked blankly:

"Is there anything else?"

"No way!" Charlie said in an exaggerated tone with a look of disbelief:

"I came to see you so warmly, and you turned me away? It's just so sad."

This kid is such a funny guy... Joyce just watched his performance in silence. Charlie, who didn't get any feedback, pretended to cough twice, walked to the window as if nothing had happened, and said loudly on purpose:

"Look at the weather today, how suitable for hunting."

hunting? The memory shows that the original owner and the others often hunted, but now he still has a lot of things to think about... Joyce subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, although the "Assassin" potion improved his fighting skills, he still has a lot of things to think about. Having never actually fought, hunting can be regarded as a means of testing strength, so he changed his mind and agreed.

"Hunter" and "Assassin" are not separated!

…………

Behind the Rose Manor is a large forest, and the ownership of the land is in Joyce's hands. There are many kinds of beasts in it, and it lacks deadly extraordinary creatures, making it an excellent hunting ground.

Charlie and Joyce put on hunting clothes and rode side by side on horseback, followed by "Provocateur" Hunter and seven or eight guards, with double-barreled shotguns and modified steam rifles hanging on the saddles.

"I have practiced marksmanship hard recently, and I will definitely beat you today." Charlie said in a loud voice, looking quite confident.

Joyce chuckled twice, picked up the left rifle and placed it in front of his eyes, aiming in a standard gun-holding posture.

There was a "bang", hundreds of meters away, and a flash of blood flashed. At the same time as Joyce closed the gun, the guards behind him galloped to the landing point, picked up a dead rabbit and shouted: "One shot kill."

Joyce was also very satisfied with this gun. His super vision and steady hands really improved his marksmanship to a new level instantly. Seeing Charlie's surprised expression beside him, he provocatively said, "How about it? ?”

"Why not compare, real men never admit cowardice."

Charlie slapped his horse and rushed into the depths of the forest, shouting loudly: "It's not certain who will win!"

Joyce motioned for the guards to follow, while he slowly lagged behind, with an attitude of not caring about winning or losing.

The idea in his mind now is: You can use a gun when playing the role of "Assassin"! Eight hundred meters away, shot the head of the enemy's dog, and then left calmly, how chic and handsome.

But if you do this, the assassin should be renamed the sniper.

One more thing, how would he investigate the assassination target given by "Witch" Emily? Looking for a private eye? No, the target is likely to be Extraordinary, and it is very dangerous to involve ordinary people. But if you want to investigate it yourself, you have neither the time nor the experience, so it is easy to startle the snake.

So, I need a Extraordinary detective at this time, maybe he can help me kill people...

Where can I find such a person?

Joyce retrieved the memory in his brain, and soon, he locked on a guy nicknamed "Scale".

"Tian Ping" is a Beyonder, and his deeper identity is a military informant, who organizes a small gathering of Beyonders. Although he never attended because of Emily, the situation is different now.

On the one hand, I can entrust him with the task of investigation, and on the other hand, I can communicate with other Extraordinary people. I know the high-end knowledge and secrets of the Extraordinary world very well, but I am extremely lacking in basic mystic knowledge...

Hearing the gunshots coming from ahead, Charlie probably also gained something, put aside the thoughts in his head, and galloped forward.

Next, happy hunting.
