The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

What is it like to pretend to be in love with a witch...

Thank you for the invitation. I just came out of the "witch"'s house. There were too many people, so I hid...

Fortunately, as a modern youth who has experienced the explosion of knowledge, he has seen many routines in the relationship between men and women, which supported him and Emily's entanglement for a long time, coaxing her to smile and showing a completely caring attitude.

She looked obsessed and agreed on a time for the next meeting, and then she was able to escape safely.

Stopping a carriage on the side of the road, Joyce, who was consuming a lot of energy, ignored the driver's courtesy and rushed into the carriage. At this time, he no longer had the innocent dog-licking face before, but had a pensive look on his face.

.

Emily, regardless of her real name or pseudonym, is a "witch". There is no doubt about this. She will most likely not exceed Sequence Six. After all, Sequence Five Extraordinaries can be considered quasi-high-level no matter which organization they are in, and they will not be reduced to the lowest level.

Use your body to seduce a self who is not even an extraordinary person.

A member of the Witch Cult?

Thinking about the source of that "assassin's" extraordinary characteristics...perhaps, I am not her first temptation object. What is her purpose in doing all this?

That pirate named Locke? No, how can a target that can be entrusted to me to assassinate escape the assassination of a "witch", unless Emily can't do it herself for some reason, so she has to secretly train me as a back-up...

This is the most logical inference. Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that "Pirate Locke" is just a cover...

I need the formula for future potions, and she is the most direct source. Since I have already placed my bet, I naturally don’t care about increasing the weight.

Well, let's go back and let someone check Locke's background. If the crime is really heinous, then he will be the first assassination target. This is the fate that "assassins" cannot escape, unless they don't want to continue to advance in the sequence.

Sigh, it makes me depressed just thinking about it... If he had a choice, he would never choose the witch path. Not only is it a problem of gender reassignment, but this path is not helpful for memory at all. If he chooses a generalist, it will appear in the original work.

The formulas for potions are a huge treasure. How could it be like now, where I can’t remember any of them, and I’m even worrying about the potions of Sequence 8... Wait, I don’t even have the formula for Sequence 9, Amy.

Li didn't give it to me! Did she forget?

The carriage jolted, probably because of a stone, which made Joyce's thoughts shift away from the "witch" and start to consider the current situation.

Although Bayam is a colony, as the fulcrum of the Loen Kingdom's colonial rule in the Central Sunian Sea, it has gradually developed into the most prosperous big city in this sea area.

There are extraordinary people from the Church of Storms headed by "Sea King" here, as well as military forces whose duty is to exterminate the resistance and maintain colonial rule, which is enough to make even the most daring pirates shrink their tails.

The gathering of many extraordinary people naturally formed many underground trading gatherings related to extraordinary materials and mysticism, and the officials turned a blind eye to this.

To sum up, this place is very suitable for a wild rookie like Joyce to survive and develop. As long as he doesn't make any more harmful moves, there won't be much danger, not to mention that there are still things on his head.

Bearing the title of a nobleman.

Of course, when it comes to occult knowledge, none of the people on the island are richer than him.

He has decided to spend a lot of time in Bayam, at least in the lower sequence. In addition to the above-mentioned objective reasons, there are two subjective reasons:

First, the original person has lived here for nearly twenty years and has a wide range of interpersonal relationships. In addition, his deceased father left him with rich political resources, mainly at the military level, such as his current status as a baron.

Secondly, the role of "assassin" requires life as embellishment, and the same goes for the "instigator" of sequence eight. And Bayam is a mixed bag of fish and snakes, with evil people everywhere, which can effectively reduce his guilt after causing disasters. This is to avoid

Necessary checks and balances for loss of control.

Becoming an extraordinary person means that you must have a bottom line, otherwise, you will most likely lose control in the process of constantly breaking through the bottom line, or be tempted by evil gods.

This kind of perception was something I never had when reading novels in my previous life.

In the original work, whether it is Klein or others, there will always be a near-miss promotion after drinking the potion, but Joyce, who has just become an "assassin", has a different understanding.

The reason why they can be promoted smoothly is due to their strong heart and will, and this quality is what Li Weiping, who has lived in the peaceful foodie empire for a long time, lacks, so much so that the potion of sequence nine makes him

The burden is quite heavy.

He needs time to adapt.

"Sir, Rose Manor has arrived."

Joyce stepped out of the carriage and noticed the groveling coachman standing next to him. He had a darker complexion, short black hair with naturally curly hair, and a flattering smile on his face. This was the indigenous "respect" for the colonists.

I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, not because of the coachman's attitude, but because of the sudden change from an ordinary person to a person with vested interests.

He took out his wallet, took out a one-pound note and handed it to the driver. The latter said flattered: "Sir, this is too much."

"Take it, I'm happy today."

"Thank you sir, you are truly a generous and respectable gentleman."

The driver left happily. Joyce looked at it for a while and realized that he didn't seem to have said not to give change. The driver was very skillful in his operation!

He shook his head and smiled, then turned and walked towards the gate of the manor not far away.

Bayam's law stipulates that indigenous carriages are not allowed to enter private territory without permission, otherwise the owner of the territory has the right to evict or judge them.

Therefore, the carriage only stopped at the edge of the roadside sign. There was a stone path in front of it, and the plants on the roadside were even more vibrant.

April is the livable season in Bayam. The monsoon brings comfortable temperature and humidity from the sea, and everything begins to recover.

Rose Manor is located on the north side of the coastline. Joyce's father spent only a small amount of money to buy it as a family territory in his early years.

It's said to be a family, but in reality it's just a father and son.

Joyce's ancestors obtained the title of knighthood in the Oath-Breaching War six hundred years ago. In history, there was once a count in the family, which was prominent for a while. Unfortunately, it could not withstand the erosion of time. The speed of decay of the family successors is amazing.

, such a large family quickly declined.

By the time of Joyce's father's generation, the title had long been lost, the family property had been squandered, and the family members were almost withered.

In order to restore the glory of his ancestors, his father resolutely joined the army. After more than ten years of military service, he became a lieutenant colonel, and finally won the title of baron for his son, at the cost of his life.

On the stone path leading to the manor, Joyce stopped by the roadside, picked a small orange flower and put it on the tip of his nose, smelling a fresh natural smell.

The super vision brought by the "Assassin" potion allowed him to clearly see someone riding towards him. They were all servants of the manor. The middle-aged man in the lead was his father's most trusted subordinate, and he was also the housekeeper and bodyguard of the family.

long.

Several people stood up and dismounted ten steps away from him. Their movements were uniform and their voices were loud and powerful. It was obvious at a glance that they were well-trained.

"My Lord Baron."

Joyce smiled and said "hmm" and said kindly to the housekeeper standing at the front:

"Mr. Hunter, why do you have such a big battle?"

The middle-aged man had a serious face and his eyes were full of power. Only his hairline was extremely unfriendly to him. He said in a calm tone:

"Master, next time you plan to stay out for the night, you may consider bringing your servant back with a message."

Joyce sneered twice, thinking that it was not suitable for him to go out to have a tryst with the witch and bring a servant with him. However, knowing that he was worried about her, he could only say with some embarrassment:

"Well... I'll do it next time, I'll do it next time."

Then, he pretended to look up at the sky and abruptly changed the subject:

"Ah, I'm so hungry. Let's go back and eat quickly."

Mr. Hunter kept his duty in mind and just reminded him. He did not continue to ask questions and stepped aside to make way:

"I've asked Sophia to prepare."

How thoughtful...Joyce suddenly felt that being a nobleman was not bad.

Relying on the memory of his original body and the physical changes brought about by the potion, he perfectly controlled the horse under him and truly felt the feeling of galloping a horse.

This made him look forward to the next meal even more.
