Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

After hearing the name of "Witch Sect", Qiao Geli stood up abruptly, his burly body felt quite oppressive, as if he was about to rush out to join the battle... After calming down, he sat down again, and he replied:

"The 'Witch Sect' is a secret evil organization. Their members believe in evil gods other than the Seven Gods. They are a group of sinners who are always creating chaos and disasters."

"I don't know if William's death was related to them, but it may be a valid clue."

Joyce showed firm eyes when he heard the words: "No matter what, I will look for opportunities to become Extraordinary and investigate this matter to the end."

Qiao Geli stared at him for a few seconds: "Extraordinary people are a group of poor people who are always in contact with darkness, child, you can have a better choice."

"I've made up my mind," Joyce insisted.

Qiao Geli was silent for a while: "The Lord said: Tribulations make people stronger."

"Follow your inner decision, fate will guide your way forward, and the church is your strongest backing."

"The Lord will bless you."

"The storm is upon us."

Joyce also clenched his fist and hammered his left chest, and said passionately, "The storm is coming."

As he was leaving, he asked the priest who was leading the way beside him:

"When I came to the church last time, I met a man with a rough face, dark blue hair, and a very sharp man. Why didn't I see him this time?"

The priest in the robe of the storm kept going:

"You mean Alger? He went to sea a while ago."

It really was him, Mr. "The Hanged Man"... Joyce confirmed in his heart, "You seem to be familiar with him?"

The priest was silent for two seconds and said, "We are all orphans adopted by the church."

"May the Lord bless you." Joyce comforted, and then put fifty pounds of cash into the offering box.

Today's actions are purely self-assessed and not within his and Emily's plans.

As the link and the weakest link in the game, Joyce believes that the "triangle" is the most stable structure.

The Church of the Storm has long shown its interest in William and herself. Pulling them on the field can not only ensure the success rate of the plan against Ianna, but also prevent the subsequent confrontation with Emily. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Bishop Qiao Geli stayed in the room, thinking about something, until a strong man in casual clothes knocked on the door and walked in.

"Your Excellency Qiao Geli, here I come."

"Recently there have been traces of the 'Witch Sect' in Bayam, you go and investigate." Qiao Geli arranged.

The strong man accepted the order, and then asked: "Where are those people from the 'Rose School of Learning'?"

"Investigate together, focusing on the 'Witch Sect'."

"Yes, Your Excellency Chogori."

On Saturday night, Joyce attended the dance as promised.

He raised Ianna's right hand and kissed it lightly.

"Although I have said it once, I will say it a second time: You are the most dazzling woman tonight."

Ianna smiled "hehe", which is somewhat similar to Emily. Perhaps this is the commonality of "witches", or it may be the tacit understanding between the two of them as "husband and wife".

"Wouldn't it be unfair to say you haven't seen the other ladies and ladies at the ball?"

Joyce said confidently: "I trust my own judgment."

"Then I will take it seriously!" Ianna said as she walked, "I will invite you to dance the opening dance together, don't refuse!"

"It's an honor." He said gentlemanly.

The dance held by Ianna was naturally not as formal as General Gordon's. The hall was full of laughter and laughter.

In addition, there were many officers and generals in various uniforms among the guests. Most of them were unfamiliar faces, but there were also familiar ones... some officers who had attended General Gordon's dinner... they saw Joyce with different eyes, Some were surprised, some were helpless, and some were meaningful...

Joyce nodded with a smile and ignored it.

Soon, he found a familiar figure as expected.

Picking up a glass of champagne casually, he walked up to greet him:

"Major General Bright, we meet again."

Looking at Joyce, whose eyes were lively and smiling, Brett felt that he was mocking him, but then thought of Ianna's warning, and secretly suppressed his anger:

"Baron Best, long time no see. I heard that you were assassinated. You were not injured."

The smile on Joyce's face grew brighter: "Thanks to you, I didn't get hurt."

Then, he put on a sad expression: "It's a pity for Major Diego. We were assassinated on the same day. I was lucky to survive. It's a pity that he didn't have such luck."

He said this on purpose, he knew that Diego was sent by me, and he was provoking me... Brett tried hard to calm himself down, let go of the wine glass that was almost broken, and forced an ugly expression:

"Yeah, Diego didn't have such good luck... But MI9 has found out that the reason for the assassination was the killer sent by the rebels."

MI9 closed the case? Joyce's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't know the news.

Although he is an aristocrat, in the eyes of the real high-level, his status as a baron is not worth anything, so naturally he cannot learn the confidential information accurately and in a timely manner.

Faced with my repeated provocations, Brett has obviously been suppressing his emotions. He is a very irritable general... As expected, he is worried about the mysterious person behind him...

This is the best thing about dealing with smart people. He will guess the meaning behind his arrogance, otherwise he may just slap him all the time when he meets a fool...

After thinking, Joyce suddenly realized and said:

"It turned out that the rebels did it. It seems that I have to urge the Bayam Police Station. Compared with MI9, their efficiency is really poor."

After all, the two had a drink, which meant that the assassination had stopped at the official level, and the rest was a private exchange of benefits.

Joyce admired the young and beautiful ladies and ladies in the hall, and asked chattingly:

"I heard from Ianna that the major general and her are good friends?"

Brett turned his head and glanced at him: "That's right."

"Your Excellency, Major General, you are so lucky to meet such a beautiful woman as Ianna!"

Joyce exaggerated and deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "woman".

Then he pretended to be frivolous and asked, "I wonder if you can impart some experience to me?"

Brett was surprised why he asked such a question, but this just hit his point of pride, and he boasted:

"To deal with creatures like women, you have to..."

Sure enough, the disciples of the Lord of Storms are very male chauvinistic, but your thinking is very dangerous... Joyce slandered in his heart, actively cooperating and constantly asking, feeling...

Seeing that the guests were almost here, Ianna walked into the ballroom and saw Joyce and Brett getting together, chatting happily, and even shoulder to shoulder.

She froze for two seconds...
