Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

Hunter is not a dull person. As a nobleman's steward, he is no stranger to the struggle between different factions at the top. He didn't ask the specific details, but asked the most direct question:

"How long do you need to hide?"

George III will not allow things to get out of control. That will lead to the Church's investigation and even expose his true intentions, so he will definitely choose to retreat. The key point is when the news will be sent back to Backlund... Joyce thought for a moment, quite confidently explain:

"One to two weeks, the danger can be lifted, but I need to take this opportunity to stay away from Bayam's social center and live outside for a while."

Judging from this time, the result should be said to be a sure bet... But what is the reason for staying for a longer period of time... Hunter thought so, and then asked questions.

Joyce answered truthfully:

"Because, I need to act."

"Play?" Sure enough, Hunter showed a puzzled expression.

"Alfred, you are Extraordinary." Joyce stated.

Hunter was taken aback for a moment, then realized that "Alfred" was calling him, so he nodded and admitted:

"That's right, the formula and potion provided by Master William made me a hunter path, a Sequence Eight 'provocateur'."

Sure enough, every smart nobleman has the habit of cultivating independent extraordinary power...Joyce was not surprised by this, he continued:

"But you don't know the 'playing method'."

Hunter shook his head, saying he didn't know anything about it.

Joyce explained:

"The key to potions is not mastering, but digesting, not digging, but acting."

Informing Hunter of the "acting method" was a matter of careful consideration...Joyce is not Klein, he has the capital and the ability to cultivate his own power, and after having the "Star Reaching", he is even more confident that he will Its control, not to mention Hunter has already proved his loyalty...

"How is your Provocateur potion digested?" he asked finally.

Hunt recalled:

"According to what you said, young master, I have digested the potion about four years ago."

Also, you are always provocative when you train soldiers every day... Joyce thought about it, then laughed and said:

"It seems that we have one more task to help you find the potion formula of Sequence Seven 'Arsonist'."

Hunter declined and said, "There's no rush, it's about your business, young master."

"I have one last question, why does the role play need to choose the dock area?"

Joyce explained: "Because 'instigators' bring different degrees of disaster, pirates are obviously more suitable targets for instigation than ordinary people."

…………

The next morning, Joyce began to skillfully apply makeup to himself.

Seeing this scene, Hunter suddenly felt unfamiliar with the young man he had known for twenty years.

He asked with a complicated expression: "Master, what are you..."

Joyce replied as a matter of course: "Naturally, I have to disguise myself. The process of acting will not be smooth. I don't want to be wanted by the navy."

Hunter said, I understand your thoughts, but not your actions,

"Then should I pretend as well?"

Joyce took out a wig:

"It's already prepared for you. Just take it with you and make sure you're ten years younger and won't be recognized easily."

Hunter stroked his thinning hair, and put on the wig without saying a word.

At this time, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Joyce turned around and asked, "Apart from me, have you told anyone else this address?"

Hunter shook his head and said no.

Could it be Sophia... Joyce thought to himself, raised his vigilance and asked, "Who?"

"Mr. Baron, it's me." A familiar female voice came from outside the door.

It was really her... Joyce was very surprised. He opened the door to let the maid come in, and found that she was wearing a wide cloak, which hid her figure very well.

"How did you come?"

Sophia took off her cloak, revealing her delicate face, and explained the reason for her sudden arrival:

"This morning, Mr. Harry was very tired and weak. I asked the reason with concern."

"Unexpectedly, Mr. Harry also looked confused. He only vaguely remembered that he had a dream last night. In the dream, a man in black asked about your whereabouts, Mr. Baron..."

It must be Brett who came to ask about my whereabouts in the middle of the night... This guy is so reckless, does he plan to kill me?

"Is Harry all right?" he asked.

Sophia replied: "Mr. Harry is fine, he just thought last night was a nightmare, but I felt something was wrong, so I came to inform you."

Joyce did not expect Brett to be so unscrupulous. He is probably in danger now. This is a broken pot... It seems that the choice to leave is really right, but fortunately there was no delay...

Joyce thought for a moment and came up with a solution. Since Mr. Major General is so idle, he should put another rein on him.

"Go back now and tell Harry that it wasn't a dream, but that Major General Brett appeared in person... Then let him immediately go to the Church of the Sea Waves and tell Qiao Geli what happened last night..."

Sophia nodded from time to time: 'I see.

Finally, Hunter asked cautiously, "How did you get here?"

Sophia replied: "I changed to several carriages, took a lot of detours, and finally came here. There should be no one following me."

"Very well, I have grown a lot, go back. Do as I said." Joyce said.

"Yes, Monsieur Baron."

After she left, Hunter turned his head and asked, "Master, is the enemy you mentioned Major General Brett?"

Joyce was noncommittal: "Otherwise why would he look for me? Also, call me Bruce, Alfred."

"Then is it safe for us to stay here?" Hunt asked again.

"Didn't I tell Harry to go to the church to file a complaint? It's very difficult for Brett to have a second chance to shoot, not to mention he doesn't know where I am..." Joyce explained.

"Let's go, we still have to look for opportunities to act today."

…………

Harry came to the Church of the Waves.

After queuing up to enter the confession room, he whispered: "I am a servant of Baron Joyce Best's family. Last night, Major General Brett sneaked in secretly, asking me about the whereabouts of Mr. Baron, with the intention of murdering Mr. Baron..."

The priest heard it inexplicably on the other end: "A major general wants to kill a baron. What's the use of you coming to the church?"

"The Lord will use thunder to wipe out all the evils in the world," the priest said.

Then, he relayed these words to Bishop Qiao Geli, who then reported it to "Sea King" Cottman, and finally reached the ears of Admiral Amyrius. He sighed and ordered:

"Arrange a team of soldiers to go to Brett's house to ensure his safety."

Secretary Lu Er'an noticed the problems in the order, surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he turned and left.
