Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

It seems that it is just a blink of an eye, and there are only more than half a month left before the New Year in 1350.

Before Louise could enjoy this peaceful and leisurely life enough, it seemed that things began to come to her.

The origin of the story is simple, Louise went out.

Although people in this era do not have the custom of buying new year’s goods, after all, it is the beginning of the new year. People are always used to buying some decorations to decorate the house, or some delicacies that they are reluctant to try on weekdays, and enjoy this short-lived joy and joy. .

After all, shopping is also a pleasant thing, of course, the premise is that you have enough gold pounds.

As Louise, she doesn't have to do the shopping herself, because she has enough and classified servants.

The main purpose of her going out today was to keep an appointment, which was Thomas's appointment.

Ever since Thomas returned to Backlund from Bayam, he actually stayed directly at the MI9 headquarters, so the contact between the two has been restored a lot.

No, as the new year approached, Thomas took some time to invite Louise to watch a play together as the work became easier.

If it was in Bayam, if Louise was still a man, then the two would probably choose to hunt, but now, drama is also a suitable way of entertainment to pass the time.

Backlund's largest theater, the repertoire to be performed tonight is a classic play created by Emperor Roselle, which is hard to find, but it is for ordinary middle-class people, and with the identities of Thomas and others , Of course it's a trivial matter.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the theater. Thomas got out of the carriage first, and then very gentlemanly let Louise hold his wrist, and stepped off the carriage gracefully.

"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've watched a drama since I came to Backlund." Louise said with a smile as she glanced at the magnificent theater in front of her.

Thomas ordered the driver to park the carriage before responding:

"Actually, I wouldn't go to a play if it wasn't for not wanting to go to the ball."

Louise smiled, looked at Thomas with crooked eyebrows, and teased:

"You! The Viscountess is worried about your life-long event. If you let her know that you deliberately avoided the invitation to the ball, maybe she will reprimand you!"

Thomas smiled wryly, then said indifferently:

"Anyway, I'm already here. It's a foregone conclusion. It doesn't matter."

Louise stretched out her finger and pointed at this friend, without any further persuasion, she walked towards the theater in front of her and said:

"Then let's go, let's see how amazing Emperor Roselle's talent is!"

Naturally, Thomas couldn't understand the deep meaning in these words, he just paid attention to the cars, horses and pedestrians on the side of the road, and accompanied Louise to the theater gate.

However, Thomas, who had already been a mid-sequence Extraordinary, was quite sensitive spiritually. He suddenly realized that someone seemed to be watching him, so he immediately turned his head and quickly found the source of the line of sight.

The owner of the eyes belonged to a middle-aged man. He had bronze skin, a medium build, black hair and brown pupils, and soft facial features. He looked harmless to humans and animals. He was just an ordinary middle-class man, perhaps more like an intellectual.

However, Thomas recognized the identity of this person in an instant, the suspect who was wanted by MI9, Azik Eggers.

In the next second, Thomas' body tensed up, as if he wanted to fly to catch the man who had been running away, but someone grabbed his wrist.

Looking sideways, there was a slight smile on the corner of Louise's mouth. At this time, she also turned to the back, shook her head slightly at him, and said:

"Since you are watching a play, why do you want to be an actor?"

Thomas seemed a little surprised, but when he looked around and saw a large crowd full of joy, including many nobles, he immediately understood that once he had a conflict with the fugitive, it would definitely cause quite a large-scale chaos.

Moreover, in just a few seconds, the fugitive Azik had disappeared without a trace.

But these are not enough to be the real reason for him to give up arresting fugitives. On the contrary, when he thinks about the combat effectiveness that Azik Eggers has had with MI9, the reason is very good up.

This belongs to "emergency avoidance"!

"At least, I should pass the information back." Thomas said softly, as if he was just chatting.

Louise pulled him and turned towards the gate of the theater, casually said:

"By the time the people from MI9 arrive here, they will not know where they have gone, but you can go if you want."

Thomas took a deep look at Louise, thought of something, nodded, actually gave up the idea of ​​passing the news, and just walked into the theater with ease.

Following the waiter to the reserved box, and dismissing the waiter at will, Thomas couldn't wait to ask:

"Why stop me, you know the man just now?"

Louise smiled and replied:

"I don't know him, but I know you can't beat him, even if you add me, you won't be that person's opponent."

Although he knew that Louise was an Extraordinary, and the high probability sequence was not low, at least she was also an Extraordinary of the middle sequence, but Thomas was still very surprised by this. He asked curiously:

"How do you know that man's sequence is high?"

"Hey, don't underestimate me, I'm very good!" Louise emphasized with a slightly raised voice.

"Well, I admit, you are amazing." Thomas sighed inexplicably, and briefly described:

"That man is an important criminal wanted by MI9, but he is very sharp and has escaped our siege many times."

"I just don't know why he appeared here?"

Louise couldn't help but also sighed, because she felt that Mr. Azik's vicissitudes of eyes just now seemed to be looking at herself?

This feeling is very groundless, but Louise dare not ignore it, although she doesn't know that she has any relationship with Azik... It doesn't make sense!

"Maybe it's just a coincidence?" She guessed wildly: "The wanted criminal may also have a hobby of watching dramas!"

Thomas wanted to complain, but he held back. After all, he did not fulfill the duties of an MI9 officer.

Although he also has his own reasons, but for some reason, in front of Louise, it is difficult for him to refuse the other party's request. Although he really can't beat Azik, if he really rushed up just now, then it will probably become "I'm in, I'm out" situation.

In fact, it doesn't make much sense whether to report this information to MI9, because Azik can't stay in the same position for too long, and Thomas didn't see Azik walk into the theater, and the latter seemed to just pass by by chance. ...

Soon, the conversation between the two stopped temporarily, because the drama had begun.
