Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

While empathizing for this deep fatherly love, Joyce suddenly realized a problem. If William simply gave this knowledge to the original owner earlier, then he would not go out to seek the potion formula, so I won't meet the "witch" Emily, let alone become an "assassin"...

Is this an example of a pit son?

Re-read the contents of the letter and confirm that there is no "acting method". William does not know the relevant knowledge? Maybe know but swear not to go out?

From this point of view, Emily is likely to be a member of the "Witch Sect", and only a secret organization that only wants to cause disaster will popularize the "playing method" to members of low sequence.

In short, you need to be more cautious when dealing with her.

……

"Mr. Baron, Mr. Charlie is here to visit."

Charlie, why is he here... Joyce first recalled who "Charlie" was in his mind, and was quite surprised at his arrival:

"Let him go to the living room first."

Then, he restored the wooden box to its original state and put it back into the mechanism in the bed. After looking around, he noticed that the room had been turned in a mess by him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he walked out without looking back:

"Find someone to clean up my room."

Sophia thought she was dazzled when she entered the room. The sight in front of her had a great impact on her young mind. The four staple foods remained untouched, scattered in every corner, and the bed was overturned to the ground... She Suspected that the baron was suffering from mania, or performed some kind of wicked and crazy ritual.

When Joyce walked to the living room, he began to worry about a question, will the agency be discovered by the servants? But on second thought, it has been put there for a long time and has not been found, how can there be such a coincidence, if I care about it, it will be messed up!

"The weather is nice today."

Joyce walked into the living room and saw Charlie sitting on a chair drinking coffee, so he took the initiative to say hello.

Charlie's father is a retired military officer who is now serving in the colonial government. In Bayam, there are many young people with similar backgrounds, and they naturally form a small circle.

"That's right, so instead of riding in a carriage, I came on horseback." Charlie put down his coffee cup and pretended to complain:

"But this manor is too far from the city. When do you plan to move back?"

"It's just two days." Joyce replied casually, the main purpose of being in Rose Manor has been achieved, and he has no reason to stay here. Comparatively speaking, the chance of contacting the extraordinary is greater in the city.

"Great!"

Charlie clapped his hands excitedly. He didn't expect the biggest purpose of the trip to be achieved so easily, and he didn't seem to have done anything yet. Although it was a bit weird, it didn't prevent him from being happy:

"The light of hope is rising on the horizon. Take firm steps, identify the direction, and quickly chase forward..."

Joyce gave him a sideways look:

"It's not like something you would say."

"Well, haha..." Charlie laughed awkwardly and explained, "It was actually Thomas who said that, you know, he always advertises himself as a poet."

Joyce gave a simple "um" and took a sip of the coffee. The bitter taste spread throughout his mouth, causing him to frown.

"You've already missed two gatherings, and everyone is worried, so they sent me here as a representative to offer condolences. If they know you've regained optimism, they'll definitely be happy for you..."

Seeing Charlie's excitement and even a little overdone, and feeling that he cared about him without falsehood, Joyce said with emotion: "As you said, sadness will always pass, and hope is the eternal theme."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sophia with a complicated expression walked in with two trays of delicate pastries. She looked up at Mr. Baron, and found that he was sitting there calmly, with the coffee on the table untouched.

She also inadvertently found that Mr. Charlie was looking at her and Mr. Baron with an ambiguous look, which made her a little uncomfortable, and quickly backed out.

Seeing the back of the maid disappearing into the shadow of the corridor, and then looking at Joyce sitting on the chair, Charlie suddenly leaned in and asked in a beating tone:

"Is the medicine I gave you very powerful, can your little maid bear it?"

Medicine? what medicine? Joyce was surprised at first, and then recalled one incident. Before he went to bed with "The Witch" Emily, he did drink a powdered thing.

Is that a potion that improves...that ability...? Mummy powder? Charlie doesn't know about himself and Emily, so he thinks that medicine was used by me on Sophia?

Gan, I am now seriously doubting the nature of these people's gatherings... After Joyce thought about the cause and effect, his expression almost froze. He calmly took a sip of bitter coffee and said indifferently:

"I gave it to a friend."

Charlie looks like I understand and won't go out:

"I understand."

Low EQ: You really make me want to beat you up. High EQ: You have the potential to be a hunter... Joyce asked without looking at his funny facial features:

"Is there anything else?"

"No!" Charlie said in an exaggerated tone with a look of disbelief:

"I came to see you so warmly, yet you drove me away? It's so sad."

This kid is a joke... Joyce watched him perform without saying a word. Charlie, who had not received any feedback, pretended to cough twice, walked to the window as if nothing had happened, and said loudly:

"Look at how suitable the weather is for hunting today."

hunting? The memory shows that the original owner and the others often hunt, but now he still has a lot of things to think about... Joyce subconsciously wanted to refuse, but on second thought, although the "assassin" potion has improved his fighting level, he has never After actual combat, hunting can be regarded as a means of testing strength, so I changed my mind and agreed.

"Hunter" and "Assassin" are not separated!

……

Behind the Rose Manor is a large forest. The ownership of the land is in Joyce's hands. There are many kinds of beasts in it, but it lacks deadly extraordinary creatures, making it an excellent hunting ground.

Charlie and Joyce put on their hunting attire and rode side by side, followed by Hunter the Provocateur and seven or eight guards, with double-barreled shotguns and modified steam rifles hanging from their saddles.

"I've been practicing my marksmanship hard recently, and I'll definitely beat you today." Charlie said aloud, looking quite confident.

Joyce chuckled twice, picked up the left rifle and placed it in front of him, aiming in a standard gun-holding position.

There was a "bang", and the sight was hundreds of meters away, and a flash of blood flashed. While Joyce closed the gun, the guard behind him had already galloped to the landing point, picked up a dead rabbit and shouted aloft: "One shot to kill."

Joyce is also very satisfied with this shot. His super eyesight and steady hands have indeed improved his marksmanship to a new level in an instant. He looked at Charlie's surprised expression, and provocatively said: "How about it, is it better?"

"Why not compare, real men never admit counsel."

Charlie beat his horse and rushed into the depths of the forest, shouting loudly, "It's not certain who will win!"

Joyce motioned for the guards to follow a few, while he slowly fell behind, with an attitude of not caring about winning or losing.

The thought in his mind now is: You can use a gun when you play the "assassin"! 800 meters away, kill the enemy dog ​​head with one shot, and then leave calmly, how unrestrained, how handsome.

But in doing so, the assassin should be renamed the sniper.

One more thing, how is he going to investigate the assassination target given by Emily the Witch? Looking for a private detective? No, the target is likely to be an Extraordinary, and it is very dangerous to involve ordinary people. But if you want to investigate by yourself, you have neither the time nor the experience, and it is easy to be surprised.

So, at this time, I need a Beyonder detective, maybe he can help me kill people...

Where can I find such a person?

Joyce searched the memory in his brain, and soon, he locked on a guy nicknamed "Scale".

"Tian Ping" is an Extraordinary, and his deeper identity is a military informant. He organizes a small Extraordinary gathering. Although he has never attended one time because of Emily's reasons, the situation is different now.

On the one hand, he can entrust the investigation task to him, and on the other hand, he can communicate with other Beyonders. He knows a lot about the high-end knowledge and secrets of the Beyonder world, but the basic knowledge of mysticism is extremely lacking...

Hearing the sound of gunshots coming from the front, Charlie probably had something to gain. He threw away the thoughts in his head and galloped forward.

Next, happy hunting.
