The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

After hearing the name of "Witch Cult", K2 stood up suddenly. His burly body felt quite oppressive, as if he wanted to rush out to join the battle... After calming down, he sat down again and replied:

"The 'Witch Cult' is a secret evil organization. Their members believe in evil gods other than the Seven Gods. They are a group of sinners who are always causing chaos and disaster."

"I don't know if William's death is related to them, but it may be a valid clue."

Hearing this, Joyce showed a determined look: "No matter what, I will look for opportunities to become an extraordinary person and investigate this matter to the end."

Chogori stared at him for a few seconds: "Extraordinaries are a group of poor people who are always exposed to darkness. My child, you can have a better choice."

"I've made my decision," Joyce insisted.

Qiao Geli was silent for a long time: "The Lord said: Suffering makes people stronger."

"Follow your inner decision, and destiny will guide your path forward. The church is your strongest support."

"The Lord will protect you."

"The storm is rising."

Joyce also clenched his fist and hit his left chest, and said passionately: "The storm is above."

When leaving, he asked the priest leading the way:

"Last time I came to the church, I met a rugged-looking man with dark blue hair and a particularly sharp man. Why didn't I see him this time?"

The priest wearing the robes of the Storm keeps moving forward:

"You mean Alger? He went to sea a while ago."

It is indeed him, Mr. "The Hanged Man"... Joyce confirmed in his mind, "You seem to be very familiar with him?"

The priest was silent for two seconds and said: "We are all orphans adopted by the church."

"May the Lord bless you." Joyce comforted, then put fifty pounds in cash into the donation box.

Today's action was purely of his own initiative and was not part of his and Emily's plans.

As the link in the game, it is also the most fragile link. Joyce believes that the "triangle" is the most stable structure.

The Church of Storms has long shown interest in William and itself, and bringing them on board can not only ensure the success rate of the plan against Ianna, but also prevent any subsequent antagonism with Emily. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Bishop Chogori stayed in the room, wondering what he was thinking, until a strong man in casual clothes knocked on the door and came in.

"Your Excellency Kyogory, I'm here."

"Recently, there have been traces of the 'Witch Cult' in Bayam. You should go and investigate." Chogori arranged.

The sturdy man accepted the order and then asked: "Where are those people from the 'Rose School'?"

"Investigate together, focusing on the 'Witch Cult'."

"Yes, Lord Khogory."

…………

On Saturday night, Joyce attended the dance as promised.

He raised Ianna's right hand and kissed it gently.

"Although I have said it once, I still want to say it a second time: you are the most dazzling woman tonight."

Ianna smiled "hehe", which is somewhat similar to Emily. Maybe this is the commonality of "witches", or maybe it is the tacit understanding between the two as "husband and wife".

"Isn't it unfair to say that you haven't met the other girls and ladies at the ball yet?"

Joyce said confidently: "I trust my own judgment."

"Then I'll take it seriously!" Ianna said as she walked: "I will invite you to dance the opening dance together, don't refuse!"

"It's an honor." He said gentlemanly.

The ball held by Ianna was naturally not as formal as General Gordon's. The hall was full of people and laughter.

In addition, there were many officers and generals in various military uniforms among the guests, most of them were unfamiliar faces, but there were also familiar ones... some officers who had attended General Gordon's dinner... they looked at Joyce in different ways,

Some are surprised, some are helpless, and some are meaningful...

Joyce nodded with a smile and ignored it.

Soon, he naturally spotted an unexpectedly familiar figure.

Picking up a glass of champagne, he walked up and greeted:

"Major General Bright, we meet again."

Looking at Joyce with lively eyes and a smile on his face, Brett felt that he was mocking him, but he thought of Ianna's advice and secretly suppressed his anger:

"Baron Best, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you were assassinated. Are you not injured?"

The smile on Joyce's face became brighter: "Thanks to you, I was not injured."

Then, he put on a sad expression: "It's a pity that Major Diego was assassinated on the same day. I was lucky to survive, but it's a pity that he didn't have the same luck."

He said this deliberately, he knew that Diego was sent by me, and he was provoking me... Brett tried to calm himself down, let go of the wine glass that was almost broken, and managed to make an ugly expression:

"Yeah, Diego didn't have such good luck... but MI9 has found out the cause of the assassination, and it was a killer sent by the resistance."

Has MI9 closed the case? Joyce's eyes flashed slightly, he didn't know the news.

Although he is a noble, in the eyes of the real high-level officials, his status as a baron is of little value, so he is naturally unable to obtain confidential information accurately and in a timely manner.

Faced with my successive provocations, Bright was obviously suppressing his emotions. He was a very irritable general... He was really worried about the mysterious person behind him...

That's the good thing about dealing with smart people. He will guess the deep meaning behind his arrogance. Otherwise, if he meets a fool, he may just slap him...

After thinking about it, Joyce suddenly realized and said:

"It turns out that the rebels did it. It seems that I have to urge the Bayam Police Station. Compared with MI9, their efficiency is really poor."

After that, the two had a drink, which meant that the assassination matter had stopped at the official level, and the rest was a private exchange of interests.

Joyce admired the beautiful young ladies and ladies in the hall and asked casually:

"I heard from Ianna that the Major General and her are good friends?"

Brett turned his head and glanced at him: "That's right."

"Major General, you are so lucky to meet a beautiful woman like Ianna!"

Joyce exaggerated, specifically emphasizing the pronunciation of "woman".

Then he pretended to be frivolous and asked: "I wonder if you can impart some experience to me?"

Brett was surprised why he asked such a question, but it just hit his point of pride, and he boasted:

"To deal with a creature like a woman, you must..."

As expected, followers of the Lord of Storms are very chauvinistic, but your thoughts are very dangerous... Joyce cursed in his heart, and kept asking and sighing actively and cooperatively...

Seeing that the guests had almost arrived, Ianna walked into the ballroom and saw Joyce and Brett getting together, chatting happily, and even holding hands.

She was stunned for two seconds...
