The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

silence……

Most of the members were worried about whether the hidden danger would affect them, and even thought about whether they should hide in danger to survive the danger, but no one asked for it in a short period of time.

Joyce chuckled and broke the silence first:

"I need the complete snake letter of the blue-eyed gray python, and the three tail feathers of Buck's parrot, or related clues."

After a moment, there was still silence... Well, as expected, there was no gain. He finally understood the mood of the fortune teller who had sought information many times without success.

He felt like he was here to warm up the show... He asked again: "Is the friend who owes me fifteen pounds here?"

Katrin's petite body was hidden in the hood. When she heard this, she couldn't help but cursed: I have already moved, and this stingy rich man actually came to the party to collect debts. How persistent!

She promised: "Here, the money is ready."

When she was about to pay, Joyce said: "You just need to do me a favor, these fifteen pounds can be offset."

Then, the waiter passed a piece of paper, which said: Divination for me once, today at two o'clock in the afternoon, Four Seasons Cafe.

Divination... Catlin recalled the results of this guy's last divination of the future, which were inconsistent and very strange. This just piqued her curiosity, so she readily agreed:

"Ok, no problem."

The exchange between the two really had a good warm-up effect, and the other members came to their senses and started their own transactions.

Joyce looked at it with interest, but there was nothing worthy of his purchase. Although he was not poor, it did not mean that he would buy useless things...

For example, one of the male members is planning to sell a dagger. Its effect is to cause the enemy to bleed after being stabbed...

This was useless for Joyce, who owned the "Oath-Breaking Blade", but the effect was quite good, and it was bought by others at a high price.

Until, a member took out an exquisite round mirror:

"This is an ancient artifact handed down from the Fourth Age. It is well preserved and contains some extraordinary power. As long as you look in the mirror for more than ten minutes a day, the chance of having nightmares at night will greatly increase. However, it has no effect on extraordinary people.

50 lbs.”

"Can I check first?" Joyce asked directly.

"certainly."

At first glance, this person came for him, because probably no one would buy such an item with only negative effects... Joyce held the mirror in his hand, it was cold, the mirror surface was very clear, and the frame was engraved with

Several cloud-like patterns, seven on the left and six on the right.

Apart from this, there are no other unnecessary decorations.

After checking it over and over again, I couldn't find anything special, so I bargained and said:

"In terms of the value of the antiquities alone, it would be 15 pounds at most, but considering the negative effects of the mirror, it may not be sold for 10 pounds... So, let me buy it for 20 pounds."

The male voice seemed reluctant: "My lowest price is 35 pounds."

Joyce shrugged deliberately and prepared to pass the mirror back:

"Then I can only say sorry."

Upon seeing this, the male voice quickly said: "Okay, 20 pounds, it's yours."

After paying the bill, Joyce put away the mirror and continued advertising:

"The acquisition is still going on. As long as it is an antique from the Quaternary Age, I am willing to buy it at a premium. I look forward to everyone's harvest at the next party."

Wearing layers of disguise, it was impossible to see if anyone was moving... Joyce could only watch the party continue and did not participate in the transaction.

Moreover, he noticed that the "divineer"... no, it should be Miss "Clown" now. She also has no materials to buy. Doesn't she have the "Magician" formula?

At the end of the party, the members left one by one under the arrangement of "Zhang Ping". Joyce became the first group of members to leave, which surprised him a little and gave him the illusion that "Zhang Ping" seemed unwilling to meet him.

…………

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Four Seasons Cafe.

The two people, who had just attended an extraordinary gathering in masks a few hours ago, met again with their true faces.

"You are on time."

Joyce said leisurely, slightly confused when he saw the "divinationist" lady taking out many divination props including astrolabe, astrology, tarot cards and so on from her suitcase.

Katrin said excitedly: "I came a little late because I spent time preparing the props... What about which divination method we use first? It doesn't matter if it doesn't work once, we can try it a few more times."

The face in front of her was as beautiful as Emily's, but lacked the attractiveness, and was more similar to the maid lady... Joyce was stunned for two seconds, and he unconsciously pointed to the props on the table:

"This, these things...what do you want to do?"

"I'll divine for you!" Katrin said matter-of-factly: "The result of your divination last time was too weird. Now my divination ability is stronger than before, and I will definitely be able to divination accurate results."

Joyce put his hand to cover his forehead: "Wait a minute...I don't want to divine my future today."

Katrin's expression froze slightly, and after thawing for a second, she said:

"Why not? Don't you think the last divination result was strange? What about your curiosity?"

Eaten by a dog... Joyce said in his mind that he didn't dare to be curious because he had a huge secret, so big that he didn't even dare to touch it.

"I'll have a chance next time."

"Next time..." Katrin muttered emotionally.

Joyce forgot about the farce and took out a closed note:

"I want you to help me divine the authenticity of this recipe."

"The potion formula...your sequence?" Katrin asked curiously.

Joyce responded: "A fortuneteller should learn to respect fate and respect the privacy of his guests, right?"

"All right."

Katrin took the note and spread it on the table. She stared at Joyce intently to prove that she was not peeking. She raised her hand to place the bracelet on the formula and recited the divination sentence:

"This recipe is real."

"This recipe is real."

…

The bracelet turned clockwise, proving that the formula was indeed true... Joyce breathed a sigh of relief. The formula was handwritten by himself, because he was worried that the one written by Emily had the ability to counter divination... It can be said that it came from

My heart opened the door to Congxin, and Congxin came home.

"Are you really not going to divine yourself? I have made a lot of preparations." Seeing him put away the formula, Katrin asked unwillingly.

Joyce was in a good mood and said with a smile:

"As a 'divineer', you are too curious and will suffer consequences sooner or later."

"My request has been fulfilled by you, and the accounts between us have been settled."

Then, he picked up the coffee and took a sip, watching Katrin put the divination tools back into the suitcase, but had no intention of leaving, and drank the coffee like him.

"Do you have anything else?" Joyce asked.
