The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Louise was naturally no stranger to Byam. Although she went to Backlund not long after traveling through time, the twenty years of growth experience of the original owner was firmly imprinted in her heart and was difficult to erase.

Therefore, as soon as she set foot on this land, she felt a sense of familiarity and closeness.

The maid lady and the "divinationist" lady felt the same way. They felt the familiar and moist sea breeze blowing on their faces, and they both showed smiles from the bottom of their hearts.

As for Rebecca, it was her first time to go to sea and come to Bayam. The excitement lingered for a short time, and she was at the stage where everything she saw felt very novel.

"Where are we going now?" Katrin asked as she walked out of the port carrying a suitcase that was not heavy.

She wanted to say that she had a secluded safe house in Bayam, but the house was a little simpler and completely suitable for a stay. However, she knew better that Louise could not be unprepared, so she didn't waste any time.

Sure enough, things did not go as expected by Miss Fortune Seer. Louise acted calmly, pointed to a four-wheeled carriage parked on the side of the road, and said with a smile:

"The people to pick us up are here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly started and drove slowly in the direction of several people.

As a "magician", Katrin's eyesight is naturally much better than that of ordinary people. She clearly saw that the person driving the carriage was a middle-aged man. He looked a bit unattractive, but he showed a calm, sophisticated and capable temperament...

..The only thing that is more eye-catching is that this coachman’s hairline is really too high!

Soon, the carriage stopped on the side of the road a few steps away. The middle-aged coachman jumped out of the carriage and said in a deep voice:

"Miss, welcome back."

The maid was half a step behind Louise, and with a smile on her face, she took the lead in saying hello:

"Mr. Hunter, long time no see."

The person who came was none other than Louise's former butler, Mr. Hunter, the "pirate nemesis" who is often in the newspapers now, and the "arsonist" in sequence seven of the "Hunter" path.

Hunter, whose hairline continued to recede, nodded calmly to Sophia and reached out to take the luggage from the latter's hand.

Louise chuckled lightly and asked:

"Why did you pick me up in person?"

Hunter's expression remained unchanged, he put the luggage into the carriage smoothly, and then replied seriously:

"The people under my command are relatively unfamiliar with you, young lady. In order to avoid unnecessary mistakes, it would be better for me to make the trip myself."

Louise nodded slightly and did not argue. Her promotion to "Witch" was not suitable for publicity. After all, not all noble retainers were as trustworthy as Mr. Hunter.

As a well-known pirate hunter, Hunter's crew members are almost all orphans adopted by Louise's father. Their loyalty can be guaranteed, but the only ones who can make them loyal are the heirs of the Best family, and

This is Louise when she was a boy.

If Louise, who has become a "witch", confesses everything, there is no telling what the consequences will be, and this will not do her any good.

Of course, the most important reason is that it's not worth it. After all, with Louise's current strength, the group of mid- to low-sequence Extraordinaries under Hunter can't be considered a particularly big help.

What's more, Louise has no idea of ​​becoming a pirate hunter, and she is not short of money... Perhaps, she may use some pirates in the process of playing the "Pain Witch", but this is not the most important thing.

Urgent Case.

He left Backlund to avoid trouble and returned to Bayam. In addition to being familiar with this place, the more important reason is that Bernadette is the "Queen of Mystery"!

Louise still doesn't know the attitude of the "Witch Sect" towards her. If they don't respect martial ethics and directly send demigods to arrest her, then wouldn't Bernadette be a ready-made backer!

What's more, Bernadette once said that she asked Louise to join her forces after breaking away from the "Witch Cult".

Now, Louise has traveled all the way to the sea and is willing to serve as a pawn for Bernadette. This is such a thing that reflects her sincerity!

To avoid disaster, what to avoid disaster? Louise has no idea at all.

The carriage was running smoothly, and no one asked where it was going. In the spacious carriage, Louise seemed to be deep in thought, and the voices of others could not help but lower their voices.

Most of the time it was Rebecca and Katrin who asked questions, while Sophia would give answers slowly.

Although they are already very close friends, Rebecca's main information about Louise comes from her grandfather Russell. Katrin is even more unbearable. Although she has known Louise for longer,

Long, but actually not as much as Rebecca.

Sofia picked and answered carefully, but it also relieved a lot of doubts for the two of them.

For example, the middle-aged coachman outside was a former housekeeper, a mid-sequence Beyonder, and he also had a group of low-sequence Beyonders under his command...

"We're not going to be pirates, are we?" Rebecca asked curiously, but looking at her, she seemed a little eager to try.

Although becoming the "Fifth Pirate King" is somewhat difficult, becoming a pirate general is not a problem... Rebecca is very confident about this.

Suddenly, someone knocked her on the head. Rebecca turned around and found that the person who did it was Louise, who was looking at her with a smile on her face and said jokingly:

"What, do you want to be a pirate? Aren't you afraid that your grandpa will come to the sea and catch you back?"

Rebecca straightened her neck and retorted:

"I want to be a pirate who never kills, kills, or robs, and is a full-time explorer. I have long heard that there are many treasures and mysterious legends on the sea!"

Louise smiled and did not comment immediately. Instead, she turned to the "divinationist" lady next to her and asked:

"And you?"

Katrin thought for a while, and then under Rebecca's expectant eyes, she said:

"I have no objection, but if you become a pirate, don't you have to experience a lot of dangers?"

"Of course." Louise pointed to the outside of the carriage and said, "Mr. Hunter has lived at sea for more than half a year. In a moment, you can ask him how many life-and-death battles he has encountered?"

Then she looked at Rebecca again and said:

"Do you know why the legend of sea treasures spreads so widely?"

"It is precisely because countless people flock to the sea to look for the so-called treasure, but they all fail, and most of them are even buried under the sea, so the legend of the treasure will spread more and more widely."

"Why, do you still think being a pirate is a fun thing?"

Rebecca felt a little disappointed, and she said in a slightly lower voice:

"Well, then it's better not to be a pirate."

"Then where are we going next?" she asked again.

Louise smiled slightly and replied:

"Go to the sea and become a 'pirate'."

Huh? Rebecca and Katrin were both a little dull now, their eyes widened. They had clearly ruled out the idea of ​​becoming a pirate, so why now...

Suddenly, an unbearable chuckle appeared in the carriage, coming from Sophia.

Only then did Rebecca and Katrin realize that Louise was playing tricks on themselves, and they suddenly became a little angry, and their expressions were very synchronized.

Louise couldn't help but laugh twice and comforted her:

"What I just said is to remind you that living at sea and living in Backlund are two different worlds. You need to change your thinking in time. In this regard, you should learn more from Mr. Hunter."

"Because I may not stay with you for some time to come."
