The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Katrin feels forgotten.

After she paid compensation for the losses she had caused, because of her sincere attitude, she temporarily gained the forgiveness of Captain French, who gave up the idea of ​​escorting her to the police station and just ordered her to change rooms...

...next to the sailors' room, the purpose is to keep her under guard and prevent her from getting into trouble again.

These are just trivial matters, not worth taking to heart. What really makes her uneasy is that Louise and others who easily killed the "faceless man" and took the necklace did not find her again... This kind of unresolved feeling is what makes her uneasy.

It made her extremely distressed.

Until the "Purple Rose" docked at Bansi Port, Katrin performed a divination with luck. Perhaps because of the loss of the necklace, her divination ability was greatly reduced, and the result could not be displayed...

"The content of my divination is 'the degree of danger of hiding in Bansi Port'. It obviously did not involve Louise and others, so why did it fail?" She was a little confused.

Late at night, Katrin had no intention of falling asleep. She looked at Bansi Port through the narrow window.

Thick clouds obscured the brilliance of the crimson moon, and lingering fog filled the air, shrouding the deserted streets. The street lights flickered, swaying in the strong wind. It looked like a heavy rain was about to come.

However, surprisingly, the storm seemed to come earlier than expected.

Without warning, raindrops the size of soybeans poured down, almost in a series. I could only hear the thunder, but could not see the silver snake of lightning because it was completely covered by the thick clouds.

Captain French felt very lucky. Fortunately, the ship stopped at Bansi Port. Otherwise, it would not be fun to sail at night and encounter such a storm... Well, maybe Miss Louise would like that kind of exciting experience...

…

The "Witch of Despair" Panatia seemed to have no concern for the storm outside. She had already fallen asleep. However, she did not change into her usual ultra-thin silk pajamas, but actually slept in her clothes.

The same was true for Louise, but she did not sleep, but quietly looked at the rain outside the window.

Bansy Port in the wind and rain is worthy of its title of "Weather Museum"... However, in Louise's eyes, the dark and silent Bansy Port looks very awkward, but she can't tell what is inappropriate, she can only feel it slightly.

One thing is: Bansi Port seems to be rejecting her...

A night of silence.

The moment the sun rose, the storm suddenly stopped, just like last night's sudden, willful and weird storm.

The "Purple Rose" set sail again and arrived at the next stop, which is also the final stop, Pulitzer Harbor amidst laughter and laughter.

After saying goodbye to Captain French, Louise led everyone off the boat, looked at Panatia across the vast sea of ​​people, and then moved away.

The destination of this "desperate lady" is not Backlund, but... Tingen.

And Louise, in a sense, can be regarded as a member of the "Witch Cult".

…………

"What exactly do you want to do to me?"

Katrin finally couldn't hold it any longer, and raised this question with grief and anger in her heart... Translation means, if you want to kill or behead, please give me a happy word!

Louise smiled and said: "You don't have a penny on you now, and I paid for the tickets for you."

That's not because you took away all my money... Well, it can't be considered robbery. After all, it is "life money", but it's not like you didn't leave me even a penny... Katrin was about to cry.

tears.

She breathed a deep sigh of relief. After all, she was stronger than others and had to lower her head: "What can I do for you?"

"Let's wait until Backlund."

Louise stood up from her chair. The rumbling whistle gradually approached. The exaggerated steam train head looked like a steel monster, pulling more than a dozen carriages to the platform. It had a strange sense of beauty.

…………

Backlund, the capital of all cities, the land of hope.

Everyone who comes to this city for the first time will definitely lament that the air here is really bad!

The sun always hides in the gray sky, seeming to be shyer than when staying in other cities. It is obviously daytime, but the street lights are on, and the fog in front of us has turned pale yellow, and the visibility is quite low.

After leaving the factory area and the chaotic East District, I took a car to the West District of Backlund. The environment suddenly improved a lot. Although I still couldn't see the sun, at least my mood would be a little brighter.

Louise has already planned to rent a house in the West End as a temporary residence. Don't ask why, because she has money and is willful!

She has Thomas's letter of introduction in her hand, which allows her to enter Backlund's upper class circle. After all, she is also planning to take revenge on Major General Bright... and Thomas' parents live in Queens.

The West End is located between Queens and Cherwood. It is also an area with a high incidence of plots in the original novel. Choosing to settle here is a multi-purpose area.

Before that, Louise first found a hotel to stay in.

Before they could rest for a while, the three of them came to say goodbye.

"Your Excellency, thank you for your help. We have to complete a task. Your promise is still valid, but we just need to wait for a while."

You're welcome, let's help each other... Louise said humbly in her heart and asked tentatively: "Oracle?"

Jelali nodded and simply replied: "Yes."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining, Louise stopped asking any more questions and said:

"Hope everything goes well for you."

The three of them bowed slightly, then turned around and left without any regrets.

Is this the end? I don’t need to do anything else? Louise was secretly surprised. She had been thinking about what purpose the "Bound God" or the "Mother Tree of Desire" wanted to use herself to achieve while sailing... but they didn't.

I didn't expect Jelari to leave so simply, I felt like a tool...

Perhaps, their mission is related to Will Asceptin, the "Snake of Destiny"...

In fact, Louise also wanted to see Will. From a mystical perspective, this premonition seemed to be an arrangement of fate... But it was a pity that she didn't know how to do this?

Even if you know where Will Asceptin lives, as a Sequence One angel, if you want to avoid Louise, it's not that easy... Moreover, with the deceptive nature of the Path of Destiny, he has the final say on when to meet.

In Will's hands, Louise will only be the passive one.

Let’s solve the housing problem...

After lunch, she called Sophia: "Go and deliver this letter to 62 Harrington Street, Queens. That's the residence of Viscount Connor, Thomas's father."

The maid bowed in response, took the envelope and exited the room.

Louise turned her attention to Miss Fortune Teller:

"Let's go out with me and rent a house."
