Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

At 14 Storn Street, Joyce received Gattuso who came back after dealing with the scene.

He reported: "The sheriff named Dean brought all the gang members back to the police station. However, those people are almost dead, even if they are alive..."

As a soldier, he has killed people and experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, but he has never seen a group of children who are not even healthy can go crazy to that extent. He doesn't even want to recall the scene tonight.

Because of this, my potion won't be digested so quickly... Joyce closed his eyes, and asked:

"How are those children settled?"

Gattuso immediately replied: "Many children do not want to be sent to welfare institutions. Even if they are young and physically disabled, they even prefer to live alone. We have to temporarily place the children in that small building and prepare to accept them." Your instructions, Monsieur Baron."

"Also, the little boy with the burn scar on his face wants to see you again."

Joyce raised his head: "What does he want to see me for?"

Gattuso did not hesitate and expressed his own judgment:

"The boy didn't say the specific reason, but according to my guess, he probably wants you to take him in. It can be seen that he is a promising soldier."

Thinking of the child's eyes, Joyce couldn't help but feel moved, and said:

"If that's the case, then send him to Rose Manor."

"As for the other children..." He sighed silently: "Let them go, send those who want to go to welfare institutions, and give them a repatriation fee if they don't want to go."

"Yes, Mr. Baron." Gattuso saluted and left.

Joyce, on the other hand, seemed a little lost. He had obviously done a good deed, but instead became even more helpless.

Let them go, their journey has just begun.

The "Instigator" potion has been digested unexpectedly, and the materials for the Sequence Seven "Witch" have been prepared, and they can be promoted at any time.

The Extraordinary characteristics of "Hunter" and "Seer" can make Gattuso and Hulk become Extraordinary at the same time. In this way, Joyce can leave Bayam with peace of mind.

…………

The next day, after breakfast, Joyce called Harry, and ordered:

"Preparing a dinner party, the reason is that I am about to leave Bayam and go to Backlund, and the time will be set on Friday."

What, why did you leave Bayam so suddenly...Harry was so shocked by this, he forgot to answer for a while, and only after recovering did he agree:

"No problem, Monsieur Baron."

Next, the two agreed on the invitation list, and after the end, Joyce came to the study.

With his status as a baron, he couldn't leave Bayam silently. He needed an exit ceremony, and a banquet could perfectly solve this problem.

In addition, this is also a signal.

Holding such a blatant banquet, I believe that Major General Brett, who is far away in Backlund, will definitely receive the news, and maybe he is waiting for me to throw myself into the trap... However, by that time, I will have already become a "witch". In the light, who is in the dark, it's hard to say...

Joyce would not allow the enemy who wanted to kill him to live arrogantly. Before that, his strength and status did not allow him to, but once he became a "witch", he had nothing to fear.

"Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Joyce said he had identified it as Sophia's knock on the door, which she had a habit of knocking three times while serving her coffee and waiting for a response.

Sure enough, the maid came in gently, put the coffee on the right side of the desk, and was a little bit hesitant to say something.

"I will take you with me when I go to Backlund this time." Joyce said softly.

Without waiting for the maid lady to answer, he ordered again: "You go and call Mr. Hunter together, and I want to make an announcement."

"Okay, Mr. Baron." Sophia replied sweetly, and then walked out of the study.

Not long after, Hunter came in, together with Sophia.

Joyce put down the book in his hand, glanced back and forth, then raised his right hand to point at Sophia:

"Let me introduce you to the 'audience' of Sequence Nine."

Then, he turned to Mr. Hunter: "The 'arsonist' of Sequence Seven."

The two looked at each other, unable to conceal their inner surprise. It seemed that they hadn't thought that the other party was also an Extraordinary, but they quickly accepted this fact, because Joyce would not lie, and there must be a reason for the showdown at this moment.

Facing the gazes of the two, Joyce smiled and introduced himself:

"The 'instigator' of Sequence Eight belongs to the assassin path."

"But..." He suddenly turned around and said, "The Assassin Path has another name, which is also called the Witch Path."

The two frowned at the same time, Sophia was fine, she had not been a Extraordinary for a long time, and she didn't have a lot of knowledge... But Hunter remembered what Joyce said inadvertently two days ago, and he widened his eyes:

"transsexual!"

Joyce sighed first, then sat upright, looked directly into the eyes of the two people opposite him, and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, the potion of Sequence Seven of the Witch Pathway is called 'Witch', and the Extraordinary who takes this potion will turn into a woman."

In other words, the baron in front of you will become a woman in the near future...Joystein understands this fact.

Sophia covered her mouth to prevent herself from yelling out because she was too shocked. Mr. Hunt had a complex expression, he didn't know what he was thinking, and moved his mouth but didn't make any sound.

"Then don't I want to call you Baron...Miss..."

Sophia said that it was rare for her to remember her identity as a maid at such a time.

Hunter's silence was finally broken, he asked:

"That's why you want to leave Bayam?"

Joyce nodded: "That's right."

"You can choose not to continue to be promoted, and you can revitalize the Best family with your own ability." Mr. Hunter said.

Joyce shook his head: "I have a reason to be promoted."

Then, he said in a comforting tone: "Since there is a potion that can turn a man into a woman, there must be a potion that can turn a woman into a man. I will try my best to find it. This is one of the potions I gave you." task."

Allowing enough time for reaction and thinking, Joyce finally said:

"After Friday's dinner, I will leave Bayam, take Sophia, and head to Backlund, where my future hope lies."

He looked directly at Mr. Hunter and said: "I need you to stay, go out to sea to become an adventurer, bring soldiers who are absolutely loyal to me, and try to find extraordinary materials to help them become extraordinary, and it is best to form a team of extraordinary .”

The next tone suddenly became more serious: "This is not a simple matter, but it has a great effect on me, even if I become a woman. This is the second task I entrusted to you."

Finally, he added: "About this secret, don't reveal it to anyone, I just leave Bayam temporarily, and I will come back one day."

Mr. Hunter was silent for a long time, and finally promised solemnly:

"Swear allegiance to Best."

After speaking, he stepped out of the study.

Sophia did not have such a complicated mental journey as Mr. Hunter. She was only shocked by the fact that her beloved Mr. Baron would turn into a woman, and had no other feelings.

"This time going to Backlund, there will only be you and me, and your identity is still my personal maid." Joyce said.

Sophia nodded subconsciously, she was no longer that naive little maid:

"I see, Baron..."

Joyce laughed out loud: "Haha, wait until I'm promoted to Sequence Seven before I call Miss."
