The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

At the same time, Joyce came to the Four Seasons Café on Enmatt Street again.

It was still early, and there were only a few scattered tables of customers in the cafe. He chose a seat by the window and sat down, asking the waiter who came over for a cup of coffee.

Although the two did not agree on any secret code for their connection, Joyce believed that a fortune teller would never find the wrong person.

Looking out the window casually, among the passers-by, there were employees rushing to work with briefcases, and short newspaper sellers waving newspapers and shouting...

There is no subway in Bayam, and trams have not been popularized either. It is inconvenient for people to travel, but it also brings fresh air and blue skies to the city, which is neither good nor bad.

No wonder the bicycle industry has such a bright future. Should we seize Klein's investment opportunity... Forget it, let's leave some food for the pandas... I'm not short of money, Joyce thought idly.

While he was observing others, Katrin was observing Joyce.

As a "divineer", she recognized Joyce at the first sight. He was that strange guy who predicted the future, but the results were contradictory.

It turns out that he is also an extraordinary person.

This is the second meeting this week, well, if you include the party, it should be the third time... This level of coincidence is very strange in the eyes of "divinationists".

What is even more strange is that as a guy who has the ability to obtain extraordinary characteristics, he would be interested in basic knowledge of occultism. This is contrary to common sense.

Taking out a necklace made of star crystal, Katrin began to divine:

"I should go see him."

"I should go see him."

…………

After seven consecutive times, the crystal rotates clockwise, neither fast nor slow.

This means that I should go see him... This result made her feel at ease, and she thought that she was not unprepared. She slowly regained her courage and walked into the Four Seasons Cafe.

"We meet again, classmate 'Soothsayer'."

Joyce's frankness immediately reduced the confidence that Katrin had just mentioned by half. She felt a sudden change in her heart and blurted out:

"You know it's me?"

Joyce smiled: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm."

"After seeing the meeting place you wrote down, I have already made a guess. I didn't dare to be sure until I was sitting here."

"Why?" Katrin asked.

Joyce pointed out the window:

"Because your 'House of Divination' is not open today."

It turned out that this was the case. Catlin was convinced by this explanation and still remained vigilant and said: "Well, your observation skills are very good."

"Do you really have the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Joker'?"

Faced with doubts, Joyce took out an iron box from his coat pocket, placed it on the table and held it down with his hand:

"As a 'divineer', your spirituality should be able to tell you the answer."

Katrin's eyes were already fixed on the box and she nodded hurriedly.

She looked away with difficulty, took out a notebook from her arms, rubbed it lovingly, pushed it to Joyce and said:

"This is a note left by a mid-level Extraordinary. It records a lot of mystical knowledge and basic ritual magic, which is enough for the newly-minted Extraordinary to become experienced."

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Katrin opened the box and saw the extraordinary properties inside, confirmed its authenticity through divination, and finally showed a happy smile.

Joyce flipped through his notes and noticed a page break at the beginning. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Katrin put away her extraordinary characteristics and hurriedly explained:

"The identity of the owner of the note was written on those two pages. I tore it off. It doesn't matter because he has passed away."

It doesn’t matter? Then why are you tearing it apart?

While looking through the notes, Joyce discovered that the content contained therein was indeed rich, but it lacked descriptions of the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics and the method of acting.

Based on this woman's performance, she must have some knowledge in this area, but the content in the book was enough to satisfy Joyce, and he didn't bother to worry about it anymore.

"Okay, deal, but..."

But, what the hell, don’t you want to take advantage of others? Katrin’s body tensed up, her back leaned on the chair, and her right hand reached under the table.

"But you still need to give me fifteen pounds."

"Why?" Katrin asked confused.

Joyce explained carefully:

"You promised at last week's party that if I could find any clues to the Honakis Gray Goat's horn crystal, you would give me the Quaternary Ring."

"But I spent the money, so you have to pay me back fifteen pounds."

Can it still be like this? Katrin was dumbfounded when she heard this. She rummaged through her purse and found only two pounds and a few sulers. Then she remembered that she was worried that it would be dangerous to meet today, so she put all her money at home, and smiled awkwardly.

laugh:

"I didn't bring that much money today, can I pay it back to you next time?"

"Can."

Joyce calmly took a sip of coffee. He was just a small revenge for her tearing up the book. He didn't really care about the fifteen pounds, so he said:

"But you have to pay for today's coffee."

"Okay, I'll buy it."

Catlin nodded in agreement, and at the same time cursed in her heart: Rich people are indeed the stingiest people.

"Waiter, I'd like to add a dessert."

Joyce greeted, successfully seeing a confused look on Katrin's face.

…………

This is a notebook written by an extraordinary person with the "divineer" path.

In addition to the basic common sense of occultism, the most content is about weird divination methods and ritual magic, as well as some methods of making spells.

Unfortunately, most of them have to pray to the gods... Since the reason for his time travel is unknown, Joyce almost subconsciously rejects the gods. Fortunately, a lot of knowledge in the book not only enriches his basic knowledge, but also provides valuable information for the black magic in the subsequent sequence seven.

Less ideas, it’s worth the money.

At least, now he has learned how to make a spiritual wall...

"Dong dong dong".

There was a knock on the door.

I don’t know how it happened, but every time Joyce was reading, someone would knock on the door.

This time it was Harry who came in. Joyce looked at the time and found that it was not time to leave for the dance yet, so she asked aloud:

"What's up?"

"There is a messenger outside who claims to be sent by 'Tian Ping'. He is holding a dark box in his hand and says that he has made an appointment with you to trade today."

Hearing Harry's description, Joyce was very surprised. Could it be that "Balance" had already obtained two kinds of materials? This efficiency was a bit outrageous! But other than that, he could not think of the second possibility.

After hesitating for a moment, Joyce came back to his senses and said, "It's true. How much does he want?"

"Six hundred pounds," Harry answered.

There was a premium, but it was acceptable. Joyce was not surprised and agreed to the transaction.

What he didn't know was that Scarface used a contribution worth four hundred pounds in exchange for these two materials from MI9, and ordered the "Scale" to be sold at a price of five hundred and fifty pounds, and Joyce finally paid six hundred pounds.

One hundred pounds.
