The Mystery:The Witch and the Scourge

Parting ways with Robinson and returning to No. 14 Stone Street, Joyce slept a long sleep and did not open his eyes until the next morning.

On this expedition, for the sake of safety, he brought all the magical items. Facts have proved that this choice is correct, but the negative effects are also unavoidable.

After waking up, Joyce ate something and then came to the laboratory.

He is about to start preparing the potion, of course not his own "witch" potion, but the "arsonist" potion... Mr. Hunter has already collected all the auxiliary materials.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

Mr. Hunter handed over the iron box containing the "Eye of Social Death".

"I have selected two absolutely loyal soldiers. They have a certain understanding of the extraordinary world and are ready to become extraordinary..."

Then, he added: "I don't have any weapons on me anymore."

The hidden meaning behind these words is that if I lose control after drinking the magic potion, please kill me as soon as possible...

Joyce nodded to express his understanding, and then began to mix the potion.

This process can be considered very familiar. Finally, when I put the extraordinary properties into the crucible, I got a cup of fiery red, gurgling, steaming liquid that looked like magma.

Mr. Hunter made a quick decision and killed him in one go.

Soon, his skin turned red and steam began to emit from his orifices.

He was hunched over, suppressing the pain inside his body, as if his internal organs were being burned, and his face was ferocious.

Joyce secretly raised his guard, but he wasn't too worried... He was just promoted to Sequence Seven. With Mr. Hunter's tough character and the progress of digesting low-sequence potions, there was no reason why he couldn't survive it.

Sure enough, as he expected, Hunter gradually regained his composure, his face showed joy, and his hands condensed a ball of flame, changing its shape at will.

"Congratulations, you have become the 'arsonist' of Sequence Seven." Joyce sincerely congratulated you.

"Thank you, Master."

Hunter simply responded that the relationship between the two had already passed the stage of needing to express loyalty in person.

However, Joyce said with emotion:

"You are lucky to have chosen the hunter path. Some paths will change your gender in the middle sequence..."

Mr. Hunter extinguished the flame in his hand and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Transgender?"

Joyce said "hmm" and explained: "There is a path for extraordinary people to become women when they are promoted to sequence seven."

After giving a brief hint, ignoring the thoughts in the other person's eyes, he changed the topic and said:

"Just now you said that qualified soldiers have been selected."

"Yes, Master." Mr. Hunter nodded and introduced in detail:

"Two candidates were initially selected, one named Holker and one named Gattuso. They were both orphans. They were adopted by Mr. William when they were young. They grew up in the territory of Rose Manor. They have a very strong sense of belonging and honor, and have good training.

They are all very good soldiers..."

Joyce listened carefully and nodded secretly:

"Come on, let me meet these two young men."

When he said this, he seemed to have forgotten that he was just a young man, but he had a higher status...

Holker is taller, burly, with sharp eyes, brave and decisive, while Gattuso is slightly shorter, but equally strong, calm in appearance and flexible in thought.

This is a conclusion drawn from Hunter's introduction and his own observations.

Joyce smiled, indicating that the two of them should not be nervous, and asked casually:

"I heard from Mr. Hunter that you two are the captains of your respective teams, right?"

"Yes, Monsieur Baron."

The two of them answered in unison.

It seemed that they would not let go of their restraint easily, so Joyce let it go and said bluntly:

"Now that you have a certain understanding of extraordinary people, I won't go into details."

"I have four Sequence Nine potion formulas in my hand, 'Hunter', 'Soothsayer', 'Arbitrator' and 'Lawyer'. You can choose any one."

In addition, Joyce also collected the extraordinary characteristics of "warriors" and "wrathful people", but unfortunately there is no magic potion formula...

Then, he briefly introduced the abilities, advantages and disadvantages of the above four extraordinary people, drank tea, and waited for the two of them to make a choice.

Holker did not hesitate too much and made the decision first:

"I choose 'Hunter'."

Joyce nodded, but did not speak until two or three minutes later, Gattuso came to the conclusion after weighing the pros and cons:

"I want to be a fortune teller."

"Oh, can I know the reason?" Joyce asked with interest.

Gattuso immediately replied: "There are two reasons."

"When Mr. Baron introduced the four paths just now, he described the 'divineer' in the most detail. This shows that you have a deep understanding of it."

"Furthermore, although the 'divineer' only has auxiliary capabilities, it is even more difficult to guard against... In a battle, not all soldiers must be soldiers, and logistical support is equally important."

After giving his reasons, he lowered his head as if waiting for judgment.

He is good at observation and thinking, and at the same time decisive. He is a good prospect... Joyce concluded that the choice of the two people is also in line with his expectations... He hopes that someone will choose the fortune teller path, after all, he has a ready-made "divine fortune teller" in his hand.

"Extraordinary characteristics, able to make the best use of everything.

More importantly, he would leave Bayam after becoming a "witch". As he expected, the Beyonder team led by Mr. Hunter would need a "divineer" to ensure that the team continued to expand...

"I respect your choice."

Joyce said calmly: "But I also want to remind you that once you choose a certain path and become an extraordinary person, you will face a more cruel world. Are you ready?"

"I swear allegiance to Mr. Baron to the death."

The two of them knelt down on one knee at the same time and swore loudly with firm expressions.

"Go ahead," Joyce said.

…………

Without much effort, Mr. Hunter knocked on the door and entered.

"One chose 'Hunter' and the other chose 'Soothsayer'."

Joyce said briefly.

Hunter thought for a moment and then said: "Holker is the hunter, and Gattuso is the fortune teller."

"Yes, it seems that your judgment of the two of them is very accurate."

Joyce smiled in appreciation and pulled out a piece of paper: "This is the 'divineer's' formula. Do I have the main ingredients in hand, or do I just need to collect the auxiliary ingredients?"

"You should know the formula for the potion of the hunter path. Collect the materials as soon as possible. It is best to make them both extraordinary before I leave Bayam."

"Are you leaving Byam?" Mr. Hunter asked directly.

Joyce nodded in agreement: "There are some reasons why I have to leave. I will tell you all about it before I leave. And by then, I will leave you with a task that is not easy."

Hunter stopped asking, and Joyce continued:

"Go to the dock area with me in disguise tomorrow. My potion needs to be digested as soon as possible."

"Okay, Master."

Mr. Hunter responded that he felt that Joyce had maintained a sense of urgency for a long time, as if something was chasing him from behind.
