Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

That night, Joyce and Hunter came to the Elderberry Bar again.

Because, today is the day for an extraordinary party.

Originally, Joyce had planned to give up participating. After all, his "Instigator" potion had not been digested, and he was not in a hurry to collect the main materials for the next sequence... However, Brett just happened to leave Bayam, so he was fine. Can be scruples, glad to go.

Passing by the underground trading market, he wandered around leisurely, but unfortunately he didn't get anything.

The Quaternary compass that he bought back last time was still at home. After his research, it seemed that the compass lacked key parts, making it unable to work at all.

The venue of the meeting has not changed, it is still the golden room with roughness revealed in the luxury.

"Giant" Olds is still reclining in his easy chair, and the party members are seated at random.

The difference from last time was that an empty space was deliberately left on the left side of the hall... The reason was that someone sat there without any disguise.

Coincidentally, Joyce had only met him in the afternoon, and it was "Flame Lion" Roy.

His signature hairstyle is recognizable and almost impossible to imitate.

Most of the other members of the party also recognized the well-known pirate, so they deliberately stayed away from him, but Roy didn't care, and leaned back in the chair leisurely, playing with the ring on his right index finger.

Seeing that everyone was almost there, "Giantman" Olds said:

"Before the party starts, Mr. Roy has a request to release."

"Flame Lion" Roy sat up straight when he heard the words, and looked around with sharp eyes, as if he was patrolling his territory:

"I was lucky enough to get the coordinates of a hidden island. After preliminary exploration, the island is rich in extraordinary materials, but my crew has lost a lot of people due to a previous battle, so I need my companions to cooperate in the expedition. Is there anyone interested in this? "

Pirates rarely have a good reputation, especially the notorious big pirates. The credibility of what such people say is quite doubtful... Joyce thought so, and the other members present probably thought the same way, So that no one responded at all.

Roy obviously expected this situation, and then added:

"You have one day to think about it. If anyone wants to join, come and find me at the hotel at No. 46 Lime Street tomorrow. We won't wait after the deadline."

After a brief silence, "Julius" chuckled twice and announced:

"Let the party begin."

A female voice sounded first: "I need the real root of the Misty Treant."

Hey, isn't this the main material of "Magician", and this person's voice is also familiar...Miss "Seer", she has started the journey of looking for materials again, counting the time, her "Joker" potion should still be available. not digested...

No one responded, so the next member made a request.

... When it was Mr. Hunt's turn, he said in a deep voice, "I need all the blood of the Black Abyss Demon Fish."

This is one of the main ingredients of "The Witch". Now that he already knows the formula, Joyce naturally wants to collect the ingredients first. It is best to be able to become a Sequence Seven immediately after digesting the "Instigator"...

Uh, why are you so eager, something is wrong with you... He was crazily adding drama to himself in his heart.

Just when Joyce felt that there would be no gain today and was about to speak by himself, he suddenly heard someone laugh twice.

"Hehe, I have."

It turned out to be "Flame Lion" Roy who answered.

Mr. Hunt asked, "How much?"

Roy touched the braid on the top of his head and said with a smile:

"You may have misunderstood. What I said just now meant that I know where there are black abyss demon fish."

"The clues can also be sold, as long as you can guarantee the authenticity." Hunter said calmly.

Roy smiled even brighter: "I am reluctant to sell this clue...unless you join my expedition."

Hunter came to his senses: "Isn't it the hidden island you just mentioned?"

"That's right." Roy nodded.

"How do I know you're not lying to me?" Hunter continued to question.

The old god Roy said: "For the sake of gain, it is worth taking a little risk."

Joyce, who was hiding in the hood, frowned fiercely, and guessed in his heart: "Before this time, some members also asked for different extraordinary materials, but Roy didn't intervene until Hunter asked..."

"Judging from this, his words should be credible. There probably really are black abyss demon fish on that island... Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this pirate randomly found a trap and was lucky enough to meet him..."

"However, the chances of this happening are not high, and even if it is a trap, whoever hunts it is uncertain!"

Just thinking, he coughed lightly, Mr. Hunt immediately understood, hesitantly said:

"I need time to think."

Roy raised his legs: "No problem, but there are not many opportunities left for you, only one day."

The party continued as the pair's deal was finalized.

Joyce asked for a purchase: "Who has the scales of the shadow lizard?"

"How much do you need?" A rough male voice asked back.

Really... Today won't be my lucky day, Joyce smiled: "Three slices are enough."

"Sixty pounds," the man cut short.

Hearing this, Joyce's smile disappeared immediately.

Sure enough, lucky ass, why every time I buy materials, I will encounter profiteers, bullying me for being rich... He roared in his heart, and asked tentatively:

"30 pounds?"

The man didn't let go, and repeated: "60 pounds."

Joyce had no choice but to pay for it, and the man threw a glass bottle over. After holding it in his hand, he could see that there were three transparent scales inside, which appeared intermittently under the light.

Finally, "Giant Man" Olds got up and said with a kind smile:

"This is the end of the party, I hope to see you again next time."

…………

Back in the safe house, Joyce was sitting in front of the mirror taking off his makeup, while Hunter was still wearing a wig. He hesitated and asked:

"Master, do you really plan to join that pirate's expedition? He is a mid-rank Extraordinary, and he must have many subordinates under him. If the other party has malicious intentions, the danger will be great."

Closing his eyes and taking off the custom-made false eyelashes, Joyce looked at Mr. Hunter in the mirror and explained:

"I understand what you said, but the pirate is right in saying that danger and opportunity coexist."

"The island has the materials I need, and Roy is most likely an 'arsonist', and your formula may still fall on him..."

Hunter obviously wanted to say something more, Joyce interrupted:

"There is no need to persuade, the matter is settled like this. You should familiarize yourself with the two magical items as soon as possible. Once you join Roy's fleet, you will be the one who decides between the two of us. I am just a follower... "
