The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

I'm bored, why don't I have a cup of coffee? This guy has no curiosity at all... Katrin cursed, and then revealed her real reason:

"There is an extraordinary party this weekend, and I would like to invite you to attend."

Hey, there is another extraordinary gathering... Joyce was eager to collect the potion materials of the "Instigator", and immediately became interested, but still remained cautious:

"Where is it, who organized it, and is it safe?"

Catlin obviously did some research in advance and explained in detail:

"The location is at the Xiangye Tree Bar. The organizer is the owner behind the bar and is said to be very powerful."

"As for the security issue, this is the first party he has held. In order to gain fame, he has invited many extraordinary people to participate. The organizer also claimed that he will bring out a lot of extraordinary materials and weapons for sale, so security should be guaranteed."

Wasn't Ove, the owner of the Bay Tree Bar, killed by himself? He was going to hold an extraordinary party so soon... It sounded very high-end. Could it be that Ianna had intervened... Joyce thought to himself, and he remembered the original novel.

As mentioned in this gathering, there are many forces participating, and the transaction of extraordinary materials is relatively comprehensive.

"What's the name of the organizer of the party?" he asked.

Katrin shook her head: "I don't know the name, I only know that his nickname is 'Hercules'."

“‘Hercules’ Ozer, it is indeed him!”

Joyce's mind changed rapidly. In order to prevent the highly spiritual "divineer" from discovering the clues, he said instead:

"Last question, why did you invite me to participate?"

Katrin replied seriously: "Because of caution."

"What I just said is an ideal situation, but we do not rule out the possibility of incorrect intelligence and danger."

"You can get the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Joker', and your combat power must be strong. If the two of us go together, even if we are really in danger, we will not be isolated and helpless."

Moreover, although you are a bit stingy and curious, the divination results show that there is no risk in teaming up with you... Katrin added the most important answer in her mind.

"bodyguard?"

Joyce tilted his head and asked, but he was actually thinking about another question: excluding the influence of magical items, the frontal combat ability of "Joker" is not weaker than that of "Assassin", right?

Katrin argued: "Of course not."

"We can temporarily disguise ourselves as companions. In this case, even if an evil Beyonder does appear, he will most likely give up attacking the combination of two people."

I understand, just follow your heart and have the same demeanor as I did back then... Joyce nodded in approval: "I agree, see you on the weekend."

"No problem, it's a pleasure to work with you."

Katrin picked up the suitcase: "Then I'll leave first."

…………

Watching her step onto the carriage and drift away, Joyce continued his interrupted thinking.

What does the appearance of "Hercules" Ozil mean?

After the death of Ove, the former owner of the Bay Tree Bar, Ozil, the "Hercules", took over his place and organized an extraordinary party, which seemed reasonable...

However, if Joyce had not appeared, or he had not chosen to kill Ove, wouldn't "Hercules" Ozer not have appeared because of this?

So, will the extraordinary gathering attended by Klein and "Flame" Daniz in the original work still exist?

Joyce fell into deep thought. He always thought that his time travel would change history, but now it seems that he himself may be a part of history?

Another possibility is that without his time travel, Ove would have been replaced by Ozil, the "Hercules", and extraordinary gatherings would still appear...

The corrective nature of history, the paradox of time and space travel... He gave full play to his imagination, but in the end, they all turned into illusions...

The sun outside the window was a bit dazzling. The demolition work of the "House of Divination" shop was nearing completion. His carriage was parked on the side of the road. The coachman Kumar and the two guards were chatting and looking at him from time to time...

This is Mr. Hunter's request, otherwise, he will personally protect Joyce, who has no choice but to accept it.

These objectively existing things fill the whole world and make it real again.

Joyce raised the coffee and found that it was cold, so he called the waiter to make another cup.

He is waiting for someone, waiting for Emily.

She has become more beautiful... She used to be coquettish and full of temptation, but now she is lightly painted, lively and relaxed, as if she has put down the heavy shackles, and her whole person is more innocent... Ha, a "witch" has appeared in her body

Innocence!

"What are you looking at?" she asked softly.

Joyce replied:

"Looking at the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Glib!" Emily smiled "hehe", nodded Joyce's forehead, sat on the opposite seat, and asked straight to the point:

"Why did you call me out this time?"

Joyce said calmly:

"Ianna invited me to a dance on Saturday night at her residence."

The smile on Emily's face paused for two seconds, and then she joked: "It seems she is ready to eat you!"

"She was a man, at least she was," Joyce emphasized.

Emily became serious when she saw this, and after thinking for a moment, she said: "You can attend the dance, but the time and place are not suitable for doing it."

"After my last infiltration, Ianna will definitely strengthen her defenses. We cannot fight on her home ground."

"In recent days, the intensity of tracking me by the 'Witch Cult' has increased significantly, which shows that she is becoming anxious, and the longer it goes, the easier it is for her to make mistakes..."

After hearing her analysis, Joyce said: "In this case, wouldn't it be completely unnecessary to attend the dance on Saturday?"

"Of course I want to participate." Emily said decisively:

"You need to gain Ianna's trust as quickly as possible through your own efforts. It is best to lead her out and bring her to the home court we have arranged. Only in this way can we be foolproof."

It sounds pretty good... Joyce nodded in acceptance, and worked with Emily to supplement and improve the plan in detail.

…………

The sun slowly set in the west, and the coffee for the two of them was replaced by black tea.

Through Emily's description, Joyce gradually formed a full-fledged image of Ianna in his mind, complete enough to include her hobbies, speaking details, and introduction to her extraordinary abilities... It can be said to be comprehensive, and he must be able to become her easily.

"Intimate Friend"...

"The last and most important question."

Joyce asked: "Even if the plan goes perfectly, can the two of us win over Ianna? Even if we can win, can we prevent her from escaping?"

Emily smiled: "I am confident enough about this last step and don't need you to take action. After all, the injury on Saturday night was not in vain!"

"Then I have no problem," said Joyce.

After saying goodbye to her, Joyce got into his carriage and said with a smile:

"You've been waiting for a long time."

"No, no, Mr. Baron, are you going home?" the coachman Kumar quickly denied.

After receiving a positive reply, Kumar started the carriage and thought to himself: In just one afternoon, Mr. Baron met with two beautiful ladies. This is the life of a nobleman!

I don’t know if there will be a future baroness...
