The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

"Arbiter" Xio jogged all the way back to his residence in the Jowood District. He slammed the door, which startled Forsi who was lying on the bed. She struggled to sit up and looked up to find someone coming.

It turned out to be Hugh, so he immediately gave up on this laborious idea.

"What's wrong? Are you in a panic?" Forsi asked.

Xio was slightly out of breath, drank more than half a cup of cold tea, took a breath, and then answered hesitantly:

"I seem to be in trouble."

"What trouble? Have you provoked other Beyonders?"

Forsi's tone became more serious and she turned sideways, but still did not leave the warm bed. She knew that her good friend was a bounty hunter and often got into trouble for this, so she did not appear panicked.

"No, no." Xio denied quickly, but the next tone was full of doubts:

"I accepted a missing person commission. After investigation, I finally found the target in the underground casino of the Beria gang. I used some extraordinary abilities to persuade him to leave. However, I caused a particularly big commotion, which was almost as big as a disaster.

Almost, everyone is going crazy..."

"No, it's not just me..."

Xio rubbed his hair, recalled the scene where the gangster suddenly fell to the ground, and said thoughtfully:

"Someone should be helping me secretly, or that person's purpose is simply to cause chaos, but I took the opportunity to leave, not knowing what happened next."

Fors made his judgment based on a writer's intuition: "Based on what you just said, it's probably just a coincidence or being used by others... In other words, even without your presence, there is a high probability that chaos will still occur."

"The point is that you won't be traced by that gangster, right?"

"of course not."

Xio said confidently, and at the same time took off the wig on his head, took off his height-increasing shoes, and his height suddenly changed from 1.5 meters to 1.5 meters... As an "arbiter" who has been in the East District of Backlund for a long time, he has no idea how to protect himself.

Miss Hugh has already mastered this point.

"That's no problem." Forsi resumed his lying position and said easily:

"Remember to keep an eye on the Beria gang, but I doubt they will continue to exist."

"Why?" Xio was changing clothes. He paused and asked curiously.

Forsi gave full play to his imagination as a writer and thought wildly: "The mysterious person that you haven't even discovered may be a powerful extraordinary person who is ready to eliminate harm for the people..."

Xio nodded in agreement, thinking about going in disguise tomorrow to find out the news.

…………

In contrast, Louise was much more calm. She took Miss Fortune Teller with her and left the underground casino in a calm manner, blending in with the people who were running away like crazy.

"I thought you would kill them all." Katrin said flatly.

Louise's steps never stopped and she asked: "Do you think I look like a murderous demon?"

Katerin really looked at Louise obediently and replied: "It doesn't look like that."

At the same time, he added in his heart: "But you will never be soft when it's time to kill."

Louise showed a satisfied smile and then said: "Actually, I am a good person."

The chaos created tonight has brought considerable progress in the digestion of the magic potion to Louise. If the Beria gang is played to a cripple and disappears completely, it will definitely be able to further digest the "witch" potion...

But she was wary of "Walter" hiding in the dark.

The fundamental thing is to solve the problem at the source. As long as Walter's background is found out, the Beria gang will be like dough that has been awakened and allowed to be kneaded by itself.

Of course, if Walter is really a member of the Belial Demon Family, then Louise will retreat and maintain a state of mutual restraint with him... Anyway, Backlund's gang is far more than this one.

A night of silence.

The next morning, Louise used ritual magic to draw a sketch of Walter, handed it to Miss "Soothsayer", and said:

"Send this portrait to various well-informed bars, issue a commission, provide a clue, and get a reward of 150 pounds."

"Be cautious and try not to expose yourself."

Katrin took the portrait and nodded seriously, indicating that she understood how to do it.

For Miss "Soothsayer" who frequently attended many extraordinary gatherings during the Byam period, this task was not difficult, and she could also get in touch with Backlund's extraordinary circle... Ever since Louise told the story of "The Clown"

"Basic playing rules, Katrin's potion is gradually digested in a subtle way. It's time to find the main ingredient of the potion of sequence seven...

Afterwards, the maid brought a cup of coffee and reported on today's itinerary.

"Miss Audrey was very happy after receiving your letter and invited you to attend a banquet next Wednesday night. The host is Earl Hall."

"Viscountess Connor sent her maid to inform her that she will come to visit during tea time today..."

Huh, being a member of the upper class is so tiring... Louise couldn't help feeling a little emotional, especially the aristocratic women of this era, who were not accepted by the public and had the opportunity to engage in some influential careers...

Well, the emergence of the "Night Goddess" has effectively improved this environment, but the change in concepts is not complete.

These aristocratic women often have a lot of free time, and most of their household affairs are handled by loyal and capable servants, so they do not need to worry too much, so they spend a lot of time socializing... This is also inseparable from the background of the times. The aristocratic class

The rule of the country will inevitably form this kind of social politics, which has never been the case in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

Louise had a hunch that she would probably spend a lot of time in such irrelevant dances and banquets, and she couldn't resist...

No matter what she speculated in her heart, Louise still showed a warm welcome when Viscountess Connor arrived in the afternoon.

"The decoration here is very nice and stylish."

The Viscountess started by chatting about the decoration of the house, creating an atmosphere of lively conversation. After a long preparation, she asked the question she was concerned about:

"I heard that Viscount Gray Lint had a very good impression of you and sent you an additional invitation..."

I knew it was because of this... Louise thought funny in her heart, and replied with a smile: "Yes, it was a tea party, we had a great time chatting."

As expected, the smile on the Viscountess's face became warmer and warmer, and she began to introduce the many advantages of Gray Lint, as if she knew it very well.

Louise tried her best to cooperate and cope with it easily, so the atmosphere between the two became more heated.

Finally, the Viscountess said with a smile: "Earl Hall will hold a grand dinner on the first day of August, that is, next Wednesday, and Viscount Graylingt is also invited, so I think

Invite you to go with us."

You are so worried about me, thank you for your hard work... Louise kept the smile on her face, nodded slowly, and then said sheepishly:

"Miss Audrey has already sent me an invitation, but it would be great to be able to attend with you."

"Ah? Miss Audrey invited you?"

The Viscountess couldn't hide her surprise, and quickly returned to normal, continuing to talk about other topics.

However, until she said goodbye, she never figured out why Louise, who had just arrived in Backlund, could make friends with Miss Audrey so quickly...
