The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

What is the significance of this question?

Louise didn't quite understand Bernadette's true intention, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

What if she is still scamming me?

However, Bernadette is a Saint of Sequence Three after all. Did she discover something? The look in her eyes just now seemed to have used some extraordinary ability...

Louise did not choose to answer directly, but frowned and asked tentatively:

"Have I changed much?"

Bernadette nodded and answered frankly: "It's very big."

"When I was in Backlund, what I saw was nothingness, but now..."

Louise's heart moved, and she was even a little excited. She knew that her secrets had been taken away by the "Goddess of the Night", so what Bernadette discovered at this time might be a more real version of herself. She immediately asked aloud:

"What's wrong now? Isn't it nothing anymore?"

Bernadette put away her extraordinary ability and returned to normal. However, like Louise, she also did not give a direct answer, but said with a smile:

"Answer my question first."

Louise was stunned when she heard this. As expected of Russell’s daughter, she really didn’t suffer at all!

With a helpless smile, she replied:

"Backlund, before you came to me for the first time, I was already Mr. Fool's prisoner."

Bernadette's expression remained basically unchanged, and she said in a somewhat surprised tone:

"So, you collected Russell's diary at my extraordinary party not because you were interested in it, but because you wanted to dedicate it to the 'Fool'."

Then, she thought of something again and said thoughtfully:

"The second time we met in Backlund, you worked hard and reached an agreement with me to trade Russell's diary. The purpose was probably to dedicate it to the 'Fool'. In this way, you can get rid of my entanglement and

It can intimidate me to a certain extent, and it can also accumulate contributions to 'The Fool'. It really kills two birds with one stone!"

I said this as if I was a liar. Didn't you get the answer you wanted? Louise cursed in her heart, but she did. There really was nothing to refute, so she had to simply say:

"It's a mutually beneficial thing."

Bernadette glanced at her and corrected:

"It used to be mutual benefit, but now that you have become my subordinate, shouldn't you be more honest?"

Louise was a little speechless. I just joined the organization and haven't had time to get to know my second companion besides the boss. I'm about to start being squeezed. Capitalists are not as bad as you!

"This is the decision made by Mr. Fool," she said solemnly.

Just blame everything on "The Fool". Anyway, it's impossible for Bernadette to really find "The Fool"... Well, it seems that it won't be long before the "Star Admiral" will be pulled by Crane

Joined the "Tarot Society".

Do you want to find an opportunity to get the compass from "Admiral of the Stars"? Forget it, no one except yourself dares to reveal things related to "The Fool" and "Tarot Club" to outsiders...

At this point, Louise has enough confidence that the mere "Star Admiral" has nothing to fear.

Sure enough, this answer was a killer answer, and it immediately made Bernadette lose her temper. She didn't feel disappointed at all. Anyway, Louise had become her subordinate, and she would have plenty of time in the future.

She cleared her throat deliberately, her expression suddenly turned serious, and she said:

"I can tell you what I found, but you must also answer me truthfully. What happened to you to cause this change?"

Louise lowered her head and thought for a while, then quickly promised:

"Can."

Bernadette nodded slightly, then spoke slowly:

"When I was in Backlund, I couldn't see your future clearly, so I couldn't make any predictions, but now, I can do it."

Louise frowned, not because she was surprised, but because this answer meant nothing to her. She had a secret state before, so Bernadette naturally couldn't predict it. Now that the secret state has been taken away, a "master of prophecy" can certainly

It’s normal to have a prediction.

"So, what prediction did you make?" she asked expectantly.

Unfortunately, Bernadette shook her head and said:

"I didn't try to predict your future, because it is a very difficult thing and a sufficient price must be paid."

"What do you mean, difficulty?" Louise asked immediately.

Bernadette replied word for word:

"I only encounter this difficulty when predicting the existence of high places."

For a high-ranking being among Sequence Three Saints, at least he is an angel, but I am only a Sequence Five!

Louise suddenly thought, could it be because of the influence of the "City of Disaster"?

As the source of matter, the status of the "City of Disaster" is naturally not comparable to that of Bernadette. If the latter forcibly predicts or spies, there is even a possibility of being contaminated...

No, no, Louise quickly denied this speculation, because she remembered clearly that Bernadette had the ability to predict Klein's future and said that "the latter's fate lies in the Honakis Mountains."

Klein owns the Source Castle, and it is still complete and unsealed. Compared to a corner of the "City of Disaster", it is even worse.

This shows that the sefirah is not the key reason that hinders Bernadette from making a prophecy.

Of course, this does not mean that Bernadette can predict through the source of matter. Even a true god would find it difficult to do this... Louise speculated that the real reason lies with herself and Klein.

.

The sequence is too low to effectively utilize the high level of Sefirah, so it cannot stop Bernadette's prophecy.

But excluding the influence of "City of Disaster", why did she make Bernadette unable to make prophecies?

The half-crazy "weather god" in Port Bansi recognized herself as Chic. Could this be a clue? Could it be that she had mistakenly identified the person?

Louise didn't come up with an answer that was convincing enough for herself, so she had to ask Bernadette to try to get more information... She shook her head and said regretfully:

"It's a pity that I'm only Sequence Five at the moment."

"This is also what I'm curious about, what is so special about you?" Bernadette crossed her arms to her chest, dragged her chin with her right hand, and stared at Louise with a scrutinizing gaze, looking very interested.

Although I am also very curious about myself, looking at you, you seem to want to dissect me... Louise teased in her heart.

Since Bernadette could no longer provide any useful information, Louise took the initiative and said:

"Regarding the changes you described, I also had some not-so-obvious feelings during this period. So, now it is my turn to tell you about the changes that have happened to me."

"The story begins with the Backlund Smog Incident..."
