Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

The nominal supreme ruler of the Rorsted Islands is Governor George Negan.

Bayam has a leisure club called "Rosted", which is the property of the Negan family. At first, only Loen people were accepted as members. people open.

Of course, the word "everyone" is in quotation marks, and the high annual fee alone is enough to discourage many people.

Saturday, May 26.

Joyce finally got rid of the boring entertainment and was invited to the Rorsted Club.

Having shown his membership badge to the receptionist, he came across an unexpected figure, General Gordon.

General Gordon was a middle-aged man with a round face and wearing casual clothes. He seemed to have just quarreled with someone and was walking out angrily. He couldn't hide his surprise when he saw Joyce.

"Your Excellency the General."

Joyce stood up straight, knowing that this was a true and pure soldier.

Gordon looked him up and down, and nodded with satisfaction:

"I'm in good spirits now, so I look like a man."

Then, with a bitter sigh on his face, he patted his shoulder:

"I blame myself for what happened to William."

"However, before I leave the army, I hope to see generals on your shoulders."

This is persuading me to join the army... There is a general as a backer, and an officer is a very promising career, if I don't become an "assassin"... Joyce was speechless in his heart, cleverly avoiding this topic:

"Inheriting my father's behest and restoring the family's glory, I will do my best."

"I'm looking forward to that day." General Gordon squeezed out a smile: "Go, don't make your friends wait too long, and see you at the banquet next week."

Saying goodbye to the old general who put him under a lot of pressure, Joyce walked across the racecourse and stepped into the rest area. After looking around, he found that Charlie was talking happily with a handsome long-haired man.

Thomas, an agent who billed himself as a poet, and his father was an influential senator in Backlund. As the second son of the family, he had no right to inherit the title, so he joined MI9.

Perhaps because of their personalities, the three of them quickly became close friends after they got acquainted.

"Welcome back."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Joyce took his seat after hugging the two good brothers.

Thomas didn't hide the surprise in his eyes, suddenly said:

"When Charlie said that you have changed a lot, I didn't believe it. Now it seems that you have changed a lot."

"The Lord once said, what does not kill me will make me stronger."

"The storm is upon us."

Charlie and Joyce clenched their fists and hammered on the left chest at the same time, while Thomas watched quietly. He was a follower of the Evernight Goddess.

"cheers."

The three had a drink, and Charlie began to urge Thomas to finish the news just now.

"What news?" Joyce asked curiously.

Thomas cleared his throat and adjusted to a more comfortable sitting position:

"Not long ago, the military suffered a big loss in the Southern Continent..."

"A war involving Extraordinary people." Charlie added from the side.

"Yes," Thomas continued, "While the military's Extraordinary team was exploring a ruin, they ran into a cultist of the Rose School of Thought, and a conflict broke out. As a result, the personnel suffered heavy losses, and a relatively small piece was lost. A treasured sealed item."

"Don't ask me the specific details. At my level, I can only understand the superficial details. Besides, even if I know, I can't tell you."

Thomas noticed that Charlie was eager to try, and hurriedly blocked the topic.

"The military won't let it go," Joyce guessed.

"That's right." Thomas nodded: "The higher-ups have issued a death order to intensify efforts to suppress the Rose School of Thought, and the losses must be recovered."

"What is the Rose School?"

Charlie found a new curiosity and asked his own questions.

Thomas recalled the materials he had read:

"An evil organization formed by a group of lunatics, who believe in an evil god called 'The Bound God', and master the 'alien species' and 'pharmacist' pathways."

"Pharmacist!" Charlie raised his tone suddenly.

Seeing the two looking at him with strange eyes, he smiled with a complicated expression:

"I heard that 'pharmacist' is a path that is good at curing diseases and saving lives. How could he be a lunatic?"

"A person who believes in evil gods, even if he is not crazy now, he is still a potential lunatic."

Thomas stared at Charlie, saying word by word.

"Will you not be crazy if you don't believe in evil gods?"

Charlie said to himself, sighed lonely, looked at Joyce and said:

"Remember the ability-enhancing potion I gave you? I configured it myself."

"I'm already a Beyonder, the 'pharmacist' of Sequence Nine."

"That's what I've called you two to announce today."

Damn, didn't you promise not to speak out... Joyce's thoughts froze for a second, then quickly turned:

"Where did you get the potion formula?"

Charlie lowered his head, like a child making mistakes:

"From my teacher, she gave me two options, one is the 'pharmacist' path, and the other is the path that makes people lucky."

Why does it sound so familiar... Isn't this the style of the Life School? His teacher is a member of the Life School? Joyce quickly thought of Darkwell, a fat pharmacist who kept an owl,

"So, you chose to become a 'pharmacist'."

Charlie straightened his back and said stiffly:

"It's a man's choice."

"Good!" Joyce gave a thumbs up and raised his glass:

"Respect the man."

Finding that no one was clinking glasses with him, he had to take a sip alone, looked at the serious Thomas and worried Charlie, Joyce comforted:

"Calm down, things haven't gotten out of hand yet."

"Charlie, think about it carefully. Does your teacher usually show any abnormalities? Including things like inducing you to pray to existences other than the seven righteous gods?"

"No, she just taught me for a while, and then disappeared." Charlie answered seriously after recalling for a while.

"That's right." Joyce asked again: "Thomas, do you know the School of Life?"

Seeing his puzzled expression, Joyce said helplessly, "Well, it looks like you don't know."

"As far as I know, the Life School is a relatively law-abiding ancient organization. Its members advocate the triple division of the world of absolute rationality, the world of spirits, and the world of matter, and pass it on in the way of master and apprentice..."

Their leader is a cute "little snake"... Joyce finally added silently in his heart.

Charlie is obviously a rookie Extraordinary. He knows very little about these mysterious knowledge, and he only knows half of what he hears. He only knows that the teacher is not a cultist, and he will not become a lunatic.

"So, I won't be sent to trial!"

"That's how it is at the moment."

"Great!" Charlie patted Joyce on the shoulder heavily:

"Good brother, just ask me for any medicine you want in the future."

We are still good friends regardless of this...Joyce shrugged and saw Thomas' expression of "who am I, where am I, and what should I say?", and explained:

"I found a notebook left by my father, um, I learned a lot about mysticism."

"You can go back and check the internal information of MI9. There must be records. Members of the Life School seldom do evil, which is why you don't take it seriously."

"Anyway, Charlie wouldn't run away, would he?"

Thomas picked up the wine glass and drank it down, his head was very confused, why haven't seen each other for a few days, one of his two good friends has become a Extraordinary in the secret organization, and the other has become more knowledgeable than me, an official member.

"Okay, I'll go back and check the information." Thomas nodded, temporarily approved of this solution, and turned to Charlie and said:

"Don't be careless. The extraordinary world is infinitely more dangerous than you imagined. Maybe you just inadvertently see something you shouldn't see, or hear an evil voice, and you may be targeted by the evil god. At that time No one can save you."

Charlie looked to Joyce, who said "Indeed."

"ok, I get it."
