The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

"When did it happen?" Bernadette asked.

Louise had nothing to hide and replied truthfully:

"A week ago, and as soon as I left the 'Witch Cult', I immediately took a boat and rushed to Bayam."

Bernadette paused for a moment, then pointed out:

"That is to say, the time when you left the 'Witch Cult' coincided with the smog in Backlund."

Is this important? Louise was a little confused. She wasn't sure what Bernadette's purpose was in mentioning this, but she still nodded and said:

"Yes, it was precisely because of that smog that I was able to break away from the 'Witch Cult'."

Although Bernadette is one of the Four Pirate Kings, as Russell's daughter and former princess, her nature is still kind, so Louise will answer truthfully, hinting at her sense of justice.

Unfortunately, her understanding was biased.

Bernadette didn't seem to care about this issue. She said with emotion:

"While I was in Backlund, I had the idea of ​​trying something during this great smog incident, but unfortunately I changed my mind later."

These words sounded a bit vague, but Louise quickly understood the true meaning of the words.

Bernadette is currently the "Master of Prophecy" in Sequence Three. She is only one ritual away from becoming an angel. The content of the ritual is:

Prevent a disaster involving high-level forces.

For the high-level power of a saint, the answer is naturally self-evident.

Although on the surface the Backlund Great Smog Incident was caused by a "Witch of Despair" trying to digest the potion disaster, in fact, there were indeed high-level forces behind this incident, and there were more than one, which was just in line with promotion.

The ritual of the "Sage".

It turns out that Bernadette appeared in Backlund some time ago for this purpose!

But luckily she changed her mind, otherwise she would most likely have failed.

After thinking for a short time, Louise responded:

"With your help, Backlund might not have suffered such a big disaster."

Alas, I am really becoming more and more hypocritical... After saying this, Louise couldn't help but secretly despise herself, but then she thought about it, she is a "witch", and she asked Bernadette

This rich woman has no shame in bowing her head.

Sure enough, a chuckle came from her mind, and Bernadette's voice became much lighter, saying:

"I'm not as important as you think."

"That's all, now that you have left the 'Witch Sect', our promise has come into effect. Which organization under me do you want to join?"

Listen, what these words, "Which organization to join" sound so domineering... Louise did not hesitate and answered directly:

"The fleet of the 'Mysterious Queen'."

There is no need to consider "Elemental Dawn". Louise is not an Extraordinary of the "Secret Peeper" path, so there is no need to provoke the "Hidden Sage", so it is more comfortable to be a pirate, and at the same time, she can also play the "Pain Witch".

As for exposing Bernadette's identity, Louise didn't care about it. After all, Bernadette's honorary name was clearly shown, so it was not difficult to guess.

Sure enough, this answer coincided with Bernadette's thoughts, and she agreed:

"Okay, I will pick you up tomorrow."

"Ah! Are you in such a hurry?" Louise was surprised and blurted out: "Do you happen to be in Bayam?"

Also, even if you are the "Queen of Mystery", when inviting new members to join, don't you need to communicate with your subordinates first?

Bernadette didn't seem to have any trouble in this regard, she said aloud:

"I am in the Southern Continent, but things have not progressed for the time being. I can make time to see you."

Well, Louise breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, even if Bernadette is in Bayam at this time, there is nothing terrible, but this kind of coincidence can easily make people feel a little uncomfortable... After gathering her thoughts, she continued

said:

"I have already received answers to the questions you raised when we last met."

Bernadette was silent for a long time this time before replying:

"Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow."

Later, the communication between the two ended. Louise stood up, removed the ceremony, waved her hand to break down the spiritual wall in the room, and at the same time brought up a gust of breeze, blowing away the remaining spirituality of the ceremony.

It is naturally more than a day's journey from the Southern Continent to Bayam, but as a senior saint, Bernadette's journey is not difficult for her. What Louise is really interested in is:

"What is Bernadette doing in the Southern Continent?"

She is both the "Queen of Mystery" and the leader of the "Elemental Dawn". Even if she cannot sit in charge of the two mysterious organizations at all times, why is she always running around like this?

One time I was in Backlund, and the other time I went to the Southern Continent... Could it be that the Southern Continent has what Bernadette needs, and the ceremony to be promoted to "Sage" can't be completed?

If this is true, it means that there is a high probability that a relatively big crisis will occur in the southern continent...

Suddenly, Louise stopped her thoughts. She found that she seemed to be used to thinking about the hidden meaning behind something, but in fact, this matter had nothing to do with her at all!

If any crisis occurs in the Southern Continent, Loen's senior management will naturally take care of it. What does it have to do with him? And even if Bernadette really predicted something, it is not something that Louise can mix in, so why worry about it in vain!

After figuring this out, Louise suddenly felt much more relaxed.

At dinner time, we enjoyed the familiar Bayam specialties. As the sky got darker, the tide of the sea brought waves of moist sea breeze, and the whole manor became more and more peaceful, like a lonely boat on the sea, twinkling faintly.

of light.

As the last ray of light disappeared, Louise got up from the bed and skillfully put on dark night clothes, just like she did when she carried out a late-night assassination in sequence nine.

Although she had been promoted to Sequence Five, she still could not lose her basic caution. Louise opened the window, jumped, and finally landed quietly, like a nimble petrel.

She found a direction, blended into the dim night, completely disappeared, and flew towards her destination.

Through Mr. Hunter's report, Louise already knew the identities of the two intelligence agents who were in contact with "Lieutenant General Disease" Tracy, and one of them was even familiar to Louise.

It is none other than the boss behind the Sweet Leaf Bar, Ozil "The Giant".

Speaking of which, if Louise hadn't killed the former owner of the Sweet Leaf Bar, the so-called "Hercules" Ozil might not have known where to be a pirate!

However, Louise also later bought the much-needed "potion ingredients" at an extraordinary party organized by "Hercules" Ozil, which can be regarded as an end.

Now, fate once again guides Louise back to Bayam, where she meets the Fragrant Leaf Bar again.

However, Louise's first target tonight is not the "Hercules" Ozil.
