Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

There are many reasons for going to Backlund. It is the place where the plot is concentrated, where there are traces of the "Witch Sect", and there is a chance to get the potion formula of Sequence Five... As for Major General Brett, it is at best a incidental, not a How important it is.

More importantly, Joyce still dare not forget that the three "Rose School" guys are looking for themselves after becoming a "witch", and the name: "Snake of Destiny", Will Auceptin ... He may be related to his own time travel, and Joyce cannot be treated carelessly, but he has to explore.

In the afternoon, he called Gattuso and Hulk.

"I believe you have heard that I will leave Bayam in a short time. Therefore, after you become Extraordinary, you need to accept Mr. Hunter's order and complete a difficult task."

"I pledge my allegiance to the Baron to the death."

…………

Everything was arranged properly, and Joyce thought that the time would come to the Friday dinner without any disturbance.

However, a sudden letter surprised him inexplicably.

The letter was sent by Thomas.

The last time the two met and chatted, he had said that he would bring him a letter himself, and here it was delivered... What Joyce was more curious about was why it was delivered today instead of bringing it in person at the dinner party tomorrow ...

Besides, the size of the envelope is too big, and it hasn't been sealed yet.

Joyce turned it over, shook it lightly, and sure enough, two normal-sized envelopes fell out, with a blank sheet of paper in Thomas' handwriting on it.

"I have prepared two letters. Which one is more suitable is up to you to choose."

Joyce became more and more confused. What does this mean?

He picked up the two envelopes and found that they were also unsealed, as if he wanted to see the contents of the letter on purpose.

Opening and reading one of the letters, the content on it is normal, but it is not like a letter from home, but more like a letter of recommendation.

In the letter, Thomas seriously introduced Joyce Best to his father, praised the latter greatly, emphasized the brotherly relationship between the two, and asked his father to take more care of Joyce.

Thomas' father was a distinguished Viscount, who was quite influential in Backlund and was able to provide Joyce with a lot of help... This was entirely out of friendship between friends, and it was an act of mutual help and mutual benefit.

However, as Joyce read the second letter, his face became strange.

The subject matter of this letter basically remains the same, but what Thomas introduced to his parents in the letter is a "woman"... This "woman" is the daughter of a wealthy businessman from the Southern Continent, who met Thomas by accident and became good friends... Now this The "woman" wants to go to Backlund, and visit Thomas' parents by the way...

Joyce put down the letter in his hand, and suddenly remembered the question Thomas asked himself last time: did he choose "Assassin" or "Audience"?

At that time, I didn't answer directly... Maybe this was a temptation...

After a long silence, Joyce put away all the letters.

…………

On Friday night, Joyce dressed up and greeted the guests she was invited to.

When the curtain ends, it is natural to announce it grandly and widely in order to show that you have a clear conscience.

After a brief speech, the banquet began.

Joyce greeted General Gordon's inquiry with a smile:

"Actually, you don't need to go to Backlund right now. Although there are many opportunities there, they are also dangerous. If you make a mistake, you will be smashed to pieces."

"I understand." Joyce said, "But I can't escape. My baronship has not yet been conferred by His Majesty the King!"

Gordon took a deep look at him, and patted Joyce on the shoulder... He was really optimistic about this young man, not only because of William, but also because of Joyce's own ability and means. Unfortunately, the latter had My own opinion.

As the host of the banquet, Mr. Baron who was about to leave Bayam, Joyce endured similar problems one after another, and he used the same reason to deal with them.

After finally seizing a free time, he found Thomas who was drinking in the corner, so he walked over.

"Why are you drinking here alone?" Joyce asked.

Thomas smiled: "Charlie was chatting here just now, and he just left. It's just that you are too popular and didn't see it."

The two clinked a glass and smiled at each other. Joyce continued:

"I have read all the letters you sent, but why are there two completely different letters? Is there a mistake?"

Thomas didn't look sideways: "You can give me back one."

"Which one will you return?" Joyce continued to ask.

"It's up to you!" Thomas shrugged. "I'm just giving you a choice. Whether you want to use this channel or how to use it is your problem."

Then, he said seriously: "You can rest assured that no matter what happens in the future, we will always be friends."

Joyce was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to return a letter to you."

The two clinked glasses tacitly, and Charlie walked over.

"What are you talking about hiding here?"

"Talk about Backlund, I'm giving him a lecture!" Thomas said.

Charlie looked at Joyce, who did not refute, and complained:

"Why do you have to go to Backlund? The air there is simply unbearable. Apart from being more prosperous than Bayam, there is nothing good at all."

Joyce explained: "The capital of all capitals, the land of hope, I still should go and see it, and I also have a reason to go."

Charlie understood this, but he just didn't want to be separated from his good brother. He put his arms around the shoulders of the two:

"Okay, let's not get drunk tonight."

It's not easy for three Extraordinary people to get drunk... Until the end of the banquet, Joyce sent away waves of guests, and finally, Thomas and Charlie also left.

…………

The next day, Joyce woke up on time.

"Take this letter to Thomas," he said to Harry, and then ordered:

"There's no need to prepare a carriage. Sophia and I still have some things to deal with. During the time I'm away, you can take full control of the family affairs."

Harry bowed and replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Baron, I wish you a pleasant journey."

Joyce personally carried a big black suitcase, but in fact there were not many things in it, because he was about to become a "witch", and the men's clothes at home were no longer needed...

Inside the box are extraordinary materials and magical items that he collected through different channels, and the value is quite beautiful.

I called a carriage and came to the dock area of ​​Bayam, the safe house I rented before, where Mr. Hunt was waiting.

"Then it's time to witness the miracle."

As Joyce said, he walked directly into the prepared simple laboratory.

Keeping Hunter and Sophia, I don't know whether to look forward to it or be confused...
