The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Walking out of the door of the Church of the Waves, warm sunshine shone on her body, Joyce raised his head slightly, and the gentle breeze blew across his face.

He closed his eyes lightly, and the thick shadow that had been covering his head for a long time had been burned away by a fire. He enjoyed the unprecedented relaxation and freedom.

After a long time, he said to the maid beside him: "You are worried about me."

Sophia, who was overjoyed, complained after hearing this: "You only ordered me to come to the church on time to ask for help, but you didn't want to say anything else. How could you not be worried!"

Then the tone became brisk again: "However, the best result is that you are safe and sound."

Joyce thought about his plans and efforts during this period, and nodded with deep approval:

"Yes, this is already the best result."

"Let's go home."

…………

At No. 14 Stone Street, everything is so orderly.

Joyce smiled at every servant he saw until Harry appeared in front of him.

"Has the letter been delivered?" he asked.

"Yes." Harry nodded and replied, "I personally handed the letter to General Gordon."

"What was General Gordon's reaction?" Joyce asked again.

Harry thought for a while and described: "Shocked, surprised, angry...it's very complicated."

"He also asked where you were?"

Joyce smiled, as he expected:

"How did you answer?"

"Meet a friend," Harry said.

"Well done," Joyce concluded, then asked about another matter:

"Has Mr. Hunter returned from his message?"

Harry took out an envelope from his arms: "Here it is."

Joyce took the letter and patted his shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work."

"After today, I will leave for a while to deal with some things and help me turn down all the invitations. Remember, it's all."

"If there is a problem that cannot be solved, ask Sophia to notify me."

"Is Sophia going with you?" Harry raised his eyes and asked.

Joyce shook his head and denied: "No, Mr. Hunter is coming with me."

"I understand, Mr. Baron," said Harry.

…………

Back in the bedroom, Joyce sat at the desk and unexpectedly found a piece of letter paper covered with handwriting underneath the custom-made pen.

I picked it up and saw that it was left by Emily.

"Dear Joyce, if you can read this letter, it means that our plan has been successful. This is a lucky thing. Thank you for your help."

"Please allow me to say I'm sorry for involving you in my affair with Ianna without permission. This was too cruel to you who was an ordinary person at the time. I won't ask for your forgiveness because we will never see each other again..."

"I will leave Bayam and go to Roen, to Intis, to the sea. In short, I will go to a place without memories and start a new life."

"In addition, I want to confess something to you. The 'Assassin' path is the 'Witch' path. Extraordinaries in this path will turn into women at Sequence Seven, so you should stay at Sequence Eight."

"Besides, I guess you must be wondering why I didn't give you the 'Assassin' potion formula?"

"Besides providing the potion directly and there is no need to tell you the formula, the more important reason is that I don't want you to spread the potion."

"The 'Witch' path is a path destined to bring disaster. This world is already very unsafe, so it's better not to cause more trouble to it."

"I wish you a happy life and a bright future."

"A bad woman stays."

After reading the letter, Joyce could not speak for a long time and was quite conflicted for a while.

To be honest, from time traveling to now, he has never trusted Emily because she is a "witch" and forced him to choose the path of a witch. He doesn't know if he can change back in the future...

But thinking from another angle, no matter whether Emily exists or not, Joyce will still become Ianna’s enemy, and without Emily’s help, it will be difficult for him to achieve today’s victory without the help of Emily...

Alas, humans are always such complex creatures.

One thing often has two sides, and it is really difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

Suddenly I remembered a sentence: Resolve grievances and resolve knots, let alone hate each other, separate one from the other and forgive each other, and everyone will be happy.

Although it doesn't fit the identities of the two of them, they responded to the situation unexpectedly.

With mixed emotions, Joyce burned this "farewell letter" and watched it turn into a pile of ashes in his hands.

Then, he took out the letter sent by the "provocateur" Hunter, with only one address written on it, memorized it firmly, and burned it.

After finishing the processing, Joyce began to sort out today's harvest.

Ianna is dead, and with the two forged lists, Bright will most likely be unable to protect himself, and the two mountains that are pressing on his head are finally broken through by himself.

Brett is no better than Ianna, Joyce can't kill him because the consequences are simply unbearable, and besides, he doesn't have the strength at all.

He cannot seek help from Emily, which is tantamount to asking for help... The "punisher" also has no right to deal with a rear admiral...

Joyce even speculated that even if the evidence was conclusive and the Church of Storms put pressure on him, Bright would not die and would at most be severely punished.

After this battle, he gained the friendship of the Church of Storms, and of course he seceded from the King's faction, but who cares?

George III will die... In this world, gods are the real chess players.

Suddenly, Joyce had a feeling. If he were a "conspirator" on the hunter path, the magic potion must be digested very quickly!

The above are all the hidden gains today, which can be called a great victory.

The apparent gain was quite good, five thousand pounds in cash, plus a magical item.

Now he can buy the magical item made by "Notary" with a price tag of eight thousand pounds...

However, he obviously already has better ones.

A mutilated glove with only two fingers, flesh-colored skin, covering the index finger and middle finger, which is almost indistinguishable.

Based on the previous battle process, it is speculated that this is a magical item of the thief's path, which is rare!

Quickly arranging the ceremony and using the Source Castle to perform divination, Joyce figured out its abilities and flaws.

This is the legacy of a "fire thief".

The picture Joyce saw through divination was quite bloody: the "fire thief" was caught for stealing, and his fingers were cut off one by one, but he was unable to resist until the last two fingers were left and he died.

Already.

The extraordinary properties left behind made this magical object.

It retains the most important ability of the "Fire Thief", the ability to steal other people's extraordinary abilities, even including magical items.

Within a range of fifty meters, at high sequences, the more familiar you are with the enemy's abilities, the easier it is to succeed, and the more unfamiliar you are, the easier it is to fail.

Perhaps because it has two fingers, it can steal two extraordinary abilities at once, and the duration is five to ten minutes depending on the enemy sequence.
