The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

At No. 14 Stone Street, Joyce met Gattuso who had returned from dealing with the scene.

He reported: "The sergeant named Dean brought all the gang members back to the police station. However, those people were almost dead, even if there were only half a breath left..."

As a soldier, he had killed people and experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, but he had never seen a group of even imperfect children become so crazy. He didn't even want to think about tonight's scene.

Precisely because of this, my potion will not be digested so quickly... Joyce closed his eyes and then asked:

"How are those children placed?"

Gattuso immediately replied: "Many children do not want to be sent to welfare institutions. Even if they are still young and physically disabled, they even prefer to live alone. We had to temporarily place the children in that small building and prepare to accept them."

Your instructions, Monsieur Baron."

"Also, the little boy with the burn scar on his face wants to see you again."

Joyce raised his head: "Why does he want to see me?"

Gattuso did not hesitate and expressed his judgment:

"The boy didn't say the specific reason, but according to my guess, he probably wanted you to take him in. It can be seen that he is a young soldier with great potential."

Thinking of the child's eyes, Joyce couldn't help but feel moved in her heart and said:

"If that's the case, then send him to Rose Manor."

"As for the other children..." He sighed silently: "Let them go. If they want to go to a welfare institution, send them to a welfare institution. If they don't want to go, just give them a small repatriation fee and let them leave."

"Yes, Mr. Baron." Gattuso saluted and then left.

Joyce seemed a little disappointed. He had clearly done a good deed, but he became even more helpless.

Let them go, your own journey has just begun.

The "Instigator" potion has been digested unexpectedly, and the materials for the Sequence Seven "Witch" have been prepared and can be promoted at any time.

With the extraordinary characteristics of "Hunter" and "Soothsayer" in hand, Gattuso and Holker can become extraordinary at the same time. In this case, Joyce can leave Bayam with peace of mind.

…………

The next day, after having breakfast, Joyce called Harry and ordered:

"Prepare a dinner party because I am about to leave Bayam and go to Backlund. The time will be Friday."

What, why did he leave Bayam so suddenly... Harry was very shocked by this. He forgot to answer for a moment, and only agreed after coming back to his senses:

"No problem, Monsieur Baron."

Next, the two agreed on the invitation list. After that, Joyce came to the study.

With his status as a baron, he could not leave Bayam silently. He needed an exit ceremony, and a banquet could perfectly solve this problem.

In addition, this can also be regarded as a signal.

For such a blatant banquet, I believe that Major General Bright in Backlund will definitely receive the news, and maybe he is waiting for me to fall into the trap... However, by that time, I will have already become a "witch", who will

It’s hard to say who is in the light and who is in the dark...

Joyce would not let an enemy who wanted to kill him live arrogantly. In the past, his strength and identity did not allow him to do so, but once he became a "witch", he had nothing to fear.

"Dong dong dong", a knock on the door came.

"Come in."

Joyce said that he had identified it as Sophia's knock on the door. She always had a habit of knocking three times while holding coffee and then waiting for a response.

Sure enough, the maid walked in gently and put the coffee on the right side of the desk, somewhat hesitant to speak.

"I will take you with me to Backlund this time." Joyce said softly.

Without waiting for the maid to answer, he ordered: "Go and call Mr. Hunter. I want to announce something."

"Okay, Mr. Baron." Sophia responded sweetly, and then walked out of the study.

After a while, Hunter walked in, together with Sophia.

Joyce put down the book in his hand, glanced back and forth, then raised his right hand and pointed at Sophia:

"Introducing the 'audience' of Sequence Nine."

Then, he turned to Mr. Hunter: "The 'Arsonist' of Sequence Seven."

The two men looked at each other, unable to conceal their surprise. They seemed not to have thought that the other person was also an extraordinary person, but they quickly accepted this fact, because Joyce would not lie, and there must be a reason for the showdown at this moment.

Faced with the gazes of the two people, Joyce smiled and introduced himself:

"The 'Instigator' of Sequence Eight belongs to the Assassin Path."

"But..." He suddenly said, "The Assassin Path has another name, it is also called the Witch Path."

The two of them frowned at the same time. Sophia was fine. She had not become an Extraordinary for a long time and her knowledge was not rich... But Hunter remembered what Joyce said accidentally two days ago. His eyes widened:

"transsexual!"

Joyce sighed first, then sat upright, looked directly into the eyes of the two people opposite him, and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, the name of the magic potion in Sequence 7 of the Witch's Path is called 'Witch', and the extraordinary person who takes this potion will turn into a woman."

In other words, the Baron in front of you will become a woman in the near future...Joyce is aware of this fact.

Sophia covered her mouth to prevent herself from shouting out of shock. Mr. Hunter looked complicated and didn't know what he was thinking. He moved his mouth but did not make any sound.

"Then I want to call you Baron...Miss..."

Sophia said that it was rare for her to remember her identity as a maid at such a time.

Hunter's silence was finally broken and he asked:

"Is this the reason why you want to leave Bayam?"

Joyce nodded: "That's right."

"You can choose not to continue to be promoted, and you can completely revitalize the Best family by your own abilities." Mr. Hunter said.

Joyce shook his head: "I have a reason why I have to be promoted."

Then, he said in a comforting tone: "Since there is a magic potion that can turn a man into a woman, there must be a magic potion that can turn a woman into a man. I will work hard to find it. This is one of the things I give you.

task."

After allowing enough time to react and think, Joyce said:

"After the dinner on Friday, I will leave Bayam, take Sophia with me, and go to Backlund, where my future hope lies."

He looked directly at Mr. Hunter and said: "I need you to stay, go to sea and become an adventurer, bring soldiers who are absolutely loyal to me, and try your best to find extraordinary materials to help them become extraordinary people. It is best to form a team of extraordinary people."

."

The tone that followed suddenly increased: "This is not a simple thing, but it has a great effect on me, even if I become a woman. This is the second task I give you."

Finally, he added: "Don't reveal this secret to anyone. I'm just leaving Bayam temporarily and will come back one day."

Mr. Hunter was silent for a long time, and finally made a serious promise:

"Swear loyalty to Best."

After saying that, he stepped out of the study.

Sophia did not have as complicated a mental journey as Mr. Hunter. She was just shocked that her beloved Mr. Baron would become a woman, and had no other feelings.

"This time when we go to Backlund, there will only be you and me. Your identity is still my personal maid." Joyce said.

Sophia nodded subconsciously. She was no longer the naive little maid:

"I see, Baron..."

Joyce laughed out loud: "Haha, I'll call you miss after I'm promoted to Sequence Seven."
