The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Of course Louise did it on purpose, but she couldn't admit it, so she could only pretend to be ignorant and answered with obvious surprise:

"It's just a simple information sharing. I see that you have been staying in Backlund and it might be useful to you."

Guess whether I believe it or not... Bernadette looked at Louise silently, apparently as if nothing had happened, but in fact her heart was not as calm as she appeared.

She had never underestimated the little "witch" in front of her. Although her rank was not high, her secrets were something even her "master of prophecy" could not see through. There might be some angel or even a god standing behind her... and

People who can be valued by high-ranking beings and make bets are definitely not ordinary people.

As a result, Bernadette's thoughts gradually spread:

"Why did Louise specifically mention the information about the 'Secret Order'? What is her intention?"

"'The Fool' is Sequence 0 of the diviner path, and there are only a handful of angels on the diviner path, including the ancestors of the Antigonus family who have long since lost their traces, and Chara, who has had close contact with Russell for a period of time.

Tu has long been a 'Miracle Master', and the latter is the leader of the 'Secret Order'."

"Could she be hinting that this 'Fool' who suddenly appeared is Zarath, who has not appeared for many years? Will she be promoted to Sequence 0 in such a short period of time? Or is she just getting closer to the gods..."

"Is this a reminder from Louise, or a hint from the person standing behind her?"

Bernadette thought a lot in a short period of time. Once an Extraordinary reaches her level, she will naturally understand a truth: behind the calm things, hidden may be rough and even life-and-death struggles.

Behind a simple chess piece, there are probably several hands manipulating it!

"If this 'Fool' is really Zaratul who has returned, then it would be understandable that she would send people to collect information about Roselle. Maybe the two of them had reached some agreement in private... And

The activities carried out by the 'Secret Order' may also become more logical..."

She pondered for a long time and then asked:

"Then what?"

Louise looked up, her eyes full of surprise, and said hesitantly:

"Then, what?"

Bernadette glanced at her and said calmly:

"What about the mysterious man you think is a follower of The Fool, his follow-up information, and his true identity?"

"Um, um..." Louise hesitated for a moment, raised her head, and said with aggrieved face: "How could I dare to continue the investigation when it comes to the 'Fool'? Besides, I was almost scared to death at that time!

"

This "coquettish" behavior made Bernadette a little dumbfounded. She stretched out her index finger and flicked Louise's forehead lightly as a punishment, and then said:

"Are you afraid to investigate or are you unwilling to investigate? Otherwise, you can tell me the clues and I will investigate in person."

"Of course I don't dare." Louise said obediently: "I am just a mid-level Extraordinary. Although you are a saint, once the Fool is involved, things will be very troublesome."

Bernadette smiled: "So you are thinking about me?"

"You can learn from the sun and the moon!" Louise said exaggeratedly. Then, she glanced at Bernadette's expression and added cautiously:

"As for the clues, I promised others that I would keep them secret. I'm afraid I can't tell you yet."

Bernadette looked at her deeply, did not press the question, and finally concluded:

"Is there any other information you want to share with me?"

Louise pretended to think for two seconds, shook her head and said:

"No more for now."

What does it mean to be gone for the time being? This cunning "witch"... Bernadette showed a kind smile and said:

"I am very satisfied with the results of your investigation. What do you want to exchange for this?"

Louise smiled in surprise and replied cheerfully:

"I've been collecting the main ingredients for the 'Pain Witch' potion recently."

Bernadette was a little surprised and asked curiously:

"Did you get the Sequence 5 potion formula? Is the Witch Sect so generous to you?"

"Maybe it's because I usually take my work seriously." Louise smiled honestly.

Naturally ignoring the suggestive words, Bernadette leaned back, crossed her legs, crossed her hands on her knees, and said quietly:

"The value of a piece of incomplete information is far less than the main ingredient of a sequence five potion."

She knows the formula for the "Witch of Pain" potion... Louise confirmed her suspicion. Is it possible that the "Witch" card is really in her hand?

She was silent for a moment, as if she was struggling with something, and finally gritted her teeth and decided to say:

"I will continue to investigate the mysterious person who stole your 'blasphemous card', and if you have anything to do in the future, you can ask me to do it."

Looking at Louise who seemed to have been wronged a lot, Bernadette smiled with satisfaction and said seductively:

"I just happened to have some clues about the 'Path Toad' recently. If you can provide further information, I may spend some effort to get it."

You will really gain something right away! That’s great. “Path Toad” only lives in the Southern Continent. As one of the four kings, the “Mysterious Queen”, she also serves as the leader of the “Elemental Dawn”. Naturally, her scope of activities also includes the Southern Continent.

... Louise had no doubt that he was there, so she happily agreed, and she just had to promise with all her heart:

"Guaranteed to complete the task."

The "Paz Toad" has been found. Tomorrow's Tarot meeting will ask the little "Sun" for clues about the "Death Crow"... Well, it's best to find the right opportunity to get it from Bernadette.

It would be perfect to create an auxiliary ritual to be promoted to "Pain Witch"... Louise's eyes were swaying, and she glanced at Russell's eldest daughter sitting in front of her from time to time, one of the few "sisters" in the world.

Rich woman".

If the "Night Goddess" hadn't always been reluctant to see her, and her thoughts were too deep to be easily guessed, Louise would have hugged her thigh.

Bernadette naturally didn't know the little thoughts in Louise's mind, but she was willing to maintain a close relationship with Louise. Regardless of the latter's true identity for the time being, as long as it related to Russell's clues and whereabouts,

He couldn't tolerate her not continuing to investigate.

Louise also understood this, so she dared to say half and half, and at most she would pray a few words for Mr. Fool... I'm sorry, Klein, Bernadette really smells too good.

.

She couldn't help but raise her head, glance at Bernadette's face, and suddenly said:

"There is one thing I would like to ask your opinion on."

"What's going on?" Bernadette seemed to be interested.

Louise cleared her throat and said:

"If, I mean if, if I wanted to hunt a demigod, how successful would it be?"
