Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

"Joyce! Where's Joyce?"

"What do you look like in a hurry, Mr. Plank will teach you again when he sees it."

"I'm not worried about you!"

Charlie "broke" into the living room, and looked Joyce up and down with concerned eyes: "Is there any injury?"

"No." Joyce motioned him to sit down first.

Charlie ignored it, but said indignantly:

"Which bastard did it, dare to assassinate my brother!"

"Sit down first..." Joyce said helplessly:

"Runned by that bastard assassin, the Bayam Police Department is actively investigating."

Charlie just sat on the sofa and laughed:

"Those policemen, forget it...Why don't MI9 investigate? Cases involving nobles can be within their jurisdiction."

I just killed the major of MI9 and asked their people to investigate me. This is not knocking mountains and shaking tigers, but playing with fire and setting myself on fire... Joyce thought amusedly, and refuted him:

"It may not be. Moreover, MI9 is ​​almost at a loss for itself now. One of their majors died inexplicably on the same night as I was assassinated."

"It's such a coincidence, could it be done by the same group?" Charlie guessed curiously.

Joyce nodded and said, "I can't rule out this possibility, but that's not something I should worry about. The Bayam Police Department and MI9 will investigate clearly. I just need to ensure my own safety."

Charlie hesitated to speak. He looked at Sophia behind him. Seeing this, Joyce turned his head and said, "Go out first."

After the maid lady went out, Charlie said with a rare seriousness: "It really should be taken seriously."

"Recently, the situation in Rorsted has been unstable. It seems that the Kingdom is about to make some big moves... Also, there may be other secrets behind Mr. William's sacrifice."

Joyce was very entangled in his heart, and thought: No one reminded me when my eyes were darkened. After I figured out the cause of William's death, why did I come later!

He asked in bewilderment, "How did you get such news?"

Charlie said with a bitter face: "Recently, Planck has been dragging me to deal with a bunch of boring business affairs. It's hard not to know!"

What I said was a bit like Versailles... Joyce pondered, "I will strengthen my security forces."

"Emperor Roselle said that it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others." Charlie picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering:

"Why don't you just become a Extraordinary? Look, I'm living a good life now! Thomas always likes to exaggerate the facts..."

"Although after becoming a 'pharmacist', my combat power has not improved significantly, but I can use potions to complete a short-term burst... By the way, the potions given to you are not bad."

They were all used up by Emily, how would I know...Joyce said, "It's very useful."

Then he responded to Charlie's previous words: "After being assassinated, becoming an Extraordinary would be a good choice, but as far as I know, finding the potion formula and main ingredients that suit you is also a matter of luck."

Charlie straightened his back and said proudly:

"Don't even look at my identity!"

Joyce stared at him, smiled and said:

"What is your identity, a seller of aphrodisiacs?"

Charlie rolled his eyes and emphasized:

"My teacher is a member of the Life School, a kind and lawful secret organization with a long history. It is not easy to get the formula and materials!"

"Why, your teacher wants to take an extra student?" Joyce asked curiously.

Charlie shook his finger at him and laughed, "You're not qualified enough."

Joyce said angrily:

"Then what are you talking about? Can you give me the materials I want?"

"No." Charlie shook his head, then added:

"Although I don't have the formula and materials, I have the channel. This Thursday, the Life School has an extraordinary party in Bayam. I can take you there."

Joyce was overjoyed at first, but then frowned and asked:

"It's inappropriate for you to take me, an outsider, to a gathering among members of the secret organization?"

Charlie waved his hands and said indifferently:

"It's not getting together to plan any conspiracy, it's just an ordinary Extraordinary exchange gathering. You have needs, and more importantly, you have money, and you are the kind of people who are welcome everywhere."

Joyce nodded secretly:

"It's very reasonable, it seems that I have no reason to refuse."

Then, he saw Charlie approaching with eager eyes, and couldn't help being startled: "What do you want to do?"

"That... what... borrow some money." Charlie said hesitantly.

If you borrow money, you can borrow money, you must be gay... Joyce slandered, and asked:

"How much to borrow and what to borrow money for?"

Charlie hurriedly said: "Not much, just three hundred pounds. My Sequence Nine potion consumes... Well, I want to collect the materials for Sequence Eight in advance."

The main ingredient of a single potion of Sequence Eight is about 300 to 400 pounds, but that is the normal price, and extraordinary materials are basically purchased at a premium... Joyce thought of this, and asked:

"how much money you have?"

Charlie sighed and said, "It's only five hundred pounds, and Planck has taken care of all my funds..."

"You deserve it, let you mess around." Joyce said after thinking for a moment:

"How about this, I'll lend you five hundred pounds, so that you don't have pocket money after buying extraordinary materials."

Charlie stood up excitedly and wanted to hug Joyce, but was stopped by the latter: "I have a condition, you have to prepare another batch of potions for me, well, the potions for that aspect will not be used."

"No problem, leave it to me." Charlie patted his chest and promised, agreed on a time to meet next time, and left happily.

…………

"Why is Mr. Charlie so mysterious?" Sophia asked curiously when she came in to pour tea.

"That's the nature of him..." Joyce was reading a book, and answered casually, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "How is your potion getting used to it?"

Talking about this, Sophia was a little excited:

"I like the state of 'audience' more and more, as if I have mind reading skills."

Then your feeling is quite accurate, the Sequence Eight of the Audience Path is called "Mind Reader"... Joyce nodded in satisfaction, and couldn't help admonishing:

"Still remember that sentence: don't be obsessed with the state of 'audience', you are Sophia first, and then you are the 'audience'."

"Understood, Mr. Baron." Sophia agreed.

Joyce took a sip of hot black tea, then asked in a chatty manner:

"What did Mr. Hunt do after he came back?"

The keen observation ability of the "spectator" can help Sophia discover many details in life. She said like a few treasures:

"Mr. Hunter brought back a lot of unsmiling guards this time, and the atmosphere at home is much more serious..."

"Also, Mr. Hunt reprimanded Mr. Harry, who didn't reply a word..."

Because of the assassination, Harry also blamed himself very much. He has not been in a high mood for the past two days. Well, he always has a serious face... Hearing the nagging of the maid, Joyce felt a little calm, as if The calm sea between storms is also like the brief peace between lightning and thunder.

It's just that the peace didn't last long.
