The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Because of the agreement with Bernadette to meet at night, Louise did not go to bed on time as usual, but began to pretend to stay up late at night and read. She was not afraid.

It's a pity that the entertainment methods in this world are too scarce to satisfy my empty soul.

I looked at the book in my hand absentmindedly, and moved my eyes unconsciously to the window. The night was hazy, the moon was in the sky, and it was quiet and peaceful.

If someone had observed it carefully, he would most likely have discovered that Backlund's scenery at night was more attractive than during the day.

During the day, the thick haze that hangs over the city makes it difficult for the sun's rays to shine through, and the occasional drizzle of rain makes it really unpleasant.

But it is different at night. Under the light of the moonlight, the annoying haze is completely hidden in the night. Not only does it disappear from the field of vision, it is also covered with a layer of gorgeous tulle, giving people a sense of wonder.

A misty illusion of standing in the clouds.

And if at this time, there is another fairy flying to me from the sky on colorful clouds, then there will be no regrets in this life.

As if hearing Louise's thoughts, a woman's figure actually appeared in the clouds.

Unfortunately, Louise took a closer look and realized that it was not a "fairy", but Bernadette.

What she stepped on was not a colorful cloud, but an ordinary piece of paper. As she fell into the "mundane world", the piece of paper disappeared.

It is indeed a "Peeper" path with the color of a fairy tale. The means of each arrival are different. It is really... flashy.

After feeling a little envious, Louise stood up and greeted:

"You are finally back!"

Bernadette looked at Louise with a half-smile, and replied after two seconds:

"What, are you afraid that I will never come back?"

Louise showed a bright smile, even saying she didn't dare, and explained quite sincerely:

"I'm worried about whether you will encounter any difficulties. If you are put in danger because of my affairs, it will really be my fault."

Bernadette laughed "haha" twice, bowed down and sat down with a sense of ownership, and simply said:

"I was delayed for a while by some sudden events, so I just returned to Backlund today."

What a coincidence that I really just came back today... Louise sighed deeply in her heart, without any emotion, and then the smile on her lips became brighter and she asked in a low voice:

"If you take action yourself, you must be sure to succeed immediately, right?"

Bernadette laughed dumbly, stretched out her index finger and tapped it twice in mid-air, and joked:

"Where has your previous aura of being neither humble nor arrogant gone?"

"I have always respected and admired you very much." Louise said righteously, but in fact she cursed in her heart:

"Before, I had no desires and demands, so I was naturally neither humble nor arrogant. Now that you hold the key to my promotion to sequence five, you are also the largest supplier of Russell's diary. Can I not be more respectful?"

Bernadette stopped asking, turned her palm over, and a delicate wooden box suddenly appeared in her hand.

"Take it, the extraordinary materials you need." She said.

I finally got it, and after waiting for all the magic potion of my "Happy Witch" to be digested... Louise took the wooden box with excitement, and simply opened the spiritual blockade, and a small spiritual whirlwind swept through,

It quickly disappeared under her exquisite control.

The toad coat of Paz Toad is spread quietly inside the wooden box. The surface is covered with bumps of different shapes, as if it may break at any time. If you look at it for a little longer, you will feel a slight discomfort.

feel.

There is also a small test tube placed on the edge of the wooden box, which contains a colorless and transparent liquid, which is the auxiliary material of the "Pain Witch", the toad liquid of Paz Toad.

The pull between spirits allowed Louise to easily determine that this was the main ingredient for the potion she needed.

Satisfied, she closed the wooden box tightly and once again put a simple spiritual wall on her head. She raised her head and said sincerely:

"Thank you very much for your help, it means a lot to me."

Not only because this is the main potion ingredient required for the Sequence Five "Pain Witch", but at this point in time, Bernadette came back just in time. If it were any later, she might not be able to get promoted before the final action.

!

The only problem now is the auxiliary ceremony for promotion, which is a little simpler. After all, Louise has joined the "Twilight Hermits", an organization that truly owns the Blasphemous Tablet.

The reason why she did not take this path was not only because she did not want to have much to do with Adam, but also the more important reason was that Bernadette probably also knew the complete formula of the "Pain Witch".

"Master of Prophecy" is always much easier to deal with than "Angel of Fantasy".

If Bernadette knew Louise's inner thoughts, she might take back the extraordinary materials directly... But she just waved her hand calmly and said:

"This is a reward paid to you in advance. In addition, regarding my questions, did you get any answers during this time?"

Louise's smile was slightly bitter and she said helplessly:

"The level of your question is too high. Even if Mr. Fool knows it, it is not something I, a small mid-ranking person, am qualified to ask!"

The meaning of this is obvious: more money is needed.

Bernadette understood this and continued to ask:

"What can you tell me about the 'Mr. Fool' you call me?"

Louise was slightly stunned. Was she planning to find out the details? Or maybe Bernadette was not just looking for Paz Toad during this period, but was conducting some secret investigations?

It's possible! Bernadette is a big shot in the mysterious world, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye to a high-ranking being who calls himself "The Fool" and is most likely a god... Therefore, she is probably testing herself.

Louise calmed down, thought carefully for a moment, and then said:

"A few days ago, when I was communicating with a family member of Mr. Fool, we talked about this topic."

With Bernadette's interested expression, Louise said seriously and rigorously:

"Mr. Fool asked me to tell you that he and Russell have never had any contact. The only connection is that they come from the same hometown."

The same hometown... Bernadette murmured these words thoughtfully.

There has been no contact, which means that the two people have never lived in the same period of history, and "The Fool" is Sequence 0 of the "Soothsayer" path. After excluding Zaratul, the missing Anti is left.

The ancestors of the Gonus family...or perhaps, the resurrecting ancient gods who have absorbed all the characteristics of the two people into themselves.

In addition, this mysterious Mr. Fool said that he and Russell came from the same hometown. Does this mean that Russell's identity is not as simple as it seems?

Yes, he was promoted rapidly in just a few decades, and even got the opportunity to be promoted to a true god, and he took practical actions for it. He really looked like the protagonist in an adventure novel!

Unfortunately, his ending was not happy.

Bernadette seemed to understand why this mysterious "Fool" was collecting clues about Russell...

Suddenly, she looked at Louise and said:

"At your age, you are about to be promoted to Sequence Five, and the speed is very fast!"
