The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

The day after returning to Bayam, Louise was able to see Bernadette, whom she had not seen for a long time.

This woman, who is already over 100 years old, looks just a little older than Louise. If you don't know their identities, you might even think that they are a pair of sisters.

Louise did not choose to meet at home, but in the woods outside the manor.

As a result, Bernadette actually rode a sika deer and fell from the sky, her posture was too elegant.

Louise was envious for two seconds, then bowed and said:

"I've met the captain."

Bernadette landed lightly on the ground, waved her hand, and the deer behind her flew into the distance and disappeared.

After taking a quick look at Louise, I found that this little "witch" had actually been promoted to Sequence Five. This promotion speed was comparable to that of a divine scroller, which was a bit surprising.

Then, she deliberately said with emotion:

"You just left the 'Witch Cult' and you immediately asked to change the family. Your behavior makes me a little uneasy!"

When Louise heard this, she immediately retorted and said righteously:

"If I hadn't accidentally been discovered by the demigods of the 'Witch Sect', I wouldn't have joined them! Now I have finally managed to break away from the 'Witch Sect', and I have the honor to join your staff. This has been my dream all along!"

"Besides," she whispered again, "you obviously took the initiative to invite me."

Bernadette was a bit dumbfounded. The "witch" in front of her sometimes behaved very mysteriously, as if she were chatting with a being of the same level. At other times, she acted like a junior, which was really elusive.

It was originally just a casual invitation, the purpose was to establish contact with the mysterious "Fool" through Louise, but who knew that she was even more proactive than him!

"That's all, in this case, I won't break my promise." She chuckled softly and spoke, accepting Louise's joining in person, and then asked again:

"But one thing I'm curious about is, why did you break away from the 'Witch Cult' so quickly? And how did you break away?"

Louise pondered for a moment. Naturally, she couldn't honestly say that the "original witch" had a problem with her, so she couldn't survive in the circle of "witches"... So she put on a slightly serious expression.

,explain:

"I was also involved in the Backlund Great Smog Incident, but I chose to betray at the last moment, so I had no choice but to leave the 'Witch Sect'."

Does this guy have that much sense of justice? Bernadette expressed doubts about this, and then asked:

"Since you have experienced it yourself, tell me the truth about the Backlund Smog. I am very curious."

You have asked the right person. Louise showed a confident smile and recounted the official investigation results incessantly, but not a single secret behind the incident was mentioned.

Bernadette frowned. Although this crisis caused tens of thousands of casualties, it seemed a bit too simple and was somewhat different from the predictions she had made before.

However, this was just Louise's family statement. At that time, she was only a Sequence Six, and she might not have been exposed to the full story of this incident... Thinking of this, Bernadette stopped worrying about it for the time being, and turned to

Talk about the thing you care about most:

"You got your answer from The Fool."

Louise nodded, stretched out her right index finger, released several strands of silk thread, and outlined the two Chinese characters for "Hometown" in mid-air, and then explained:

"Mr. Fool said that these two words mean hometown and the sustenance of the soul."

After receiving this answer, Bernadette fell into a brief silence.

These are the only two Chinese characters that Russell taught her. Bernadette naturally imagined countless answers, but she never imagined that the meaning of these two characters would be "hometown."

What is Russell missing? Isn’t his hometown Intis?

I remember that the last time we met, Louise mentioned that Mr. Fool and Russell came from the same place. Is this the so-called hometown?

Soon, Bernadette came back to her senses and asked in a slightly lower voice:

"What was Mr. Fool's tone when he answered this question?"

Well, "The Fool" didn't answer at all. This is the answer given to you by me, the "middleman"... Louise didn't expect Bernadette to ask this question, and she quickly thought about it in her head.

Fan, quickly replied:

"I dare not guess the deep meaning of Mr. Fool, but when she said this, she seemed to have more emotional fluctuations?"

"Of course, this is probably just my illusion." She added at the end.

After finishing speaking, Louise raised her head and carefully observed Bernadette's reaction. The latter seemed to be touched...

However, in the next second, the corners of Bernadette's mouth raised, a proud expression appeared between her brows and eyes, and she said with a slight smile:

"You are indeed a divine scroller of The Fool, and you are also a scroller who can easily get responses."

Ah, this, you deceived me!

Louise's eyes widened, fully showing her shock, but she quickly lost her battle under Bernadette's half-smiling gaze, and reluctantly admitted:

"Okay, you're right."

Bernadette continued to ask: "So, the mysterious person who took the 'Black Emperor' card from my hand couldn't be you, right?"

"Of course not!" Louise immediately denied: "The 'Black Emperor'..."

Halfway through her words, she stopped abruptly. Louise even covered her mouth in an exaggerated manner, staring in shock at Bernadette who seemed a little disappointed in front of her, and asked aloud:

"Do you know what you are doing? You are testing a god!"

Bernadette looked relaxed and corrected:

"No, I'm just chatting with you, the Scroll Master, and I don't mean any disrespect to the 'Fool'."

Louise put down her hands, looked at the other person seriously, as if to warn, and then responded:

"hope so."

Unfortunately, at this moment, what Louise was thinking was completely different from what she said.

She is not that stupid. Although the first sentence was indeed deceived by Bernadette, forcing her to admit the identity of the "Fool", the subsequent leakage was completely intentional.

I believe that after today, Bernadette will most likely wonder whether her initiative to join her organization came from the instruction of "The Fool"?

Louise secretly praised her own wit. In just a few words, she successfully turned passive into active, and defeated Bernadette's army. She felt very accomplished!

After the silence, Bernadette stared at Louise, her eyes suddenly became dark and deep, and at the same time she said:

"One more question, when did you become Mr. Fool's roll-taker?"
