Mystery: The Witch and the Calamity

14 Stone Street, despite the brief loss of its owner, has not affected its orderly operation.

The servants perform their duties, the cook is responsible for the cooking, the gardener is responsible for trimming the flowers and plants in the garden, and Harry is responsible for the overview of everything... The only one who is free is Sophia.

It is precisely because of this that she has more time to become an "audience", randomly observed the servants in the house, and learned a lot of small secrets... so that the speed of digesting potions has improved a lot, of course, she herself I don't know...because Joyce didn't tell her how to act, just made some hints.

Sophia has always kept in mind the words entrusted by Mr. Baron: "You are just a spectator."

She understands the principle of taking enough time, so she spends more time on study every day.

Since becoming an "audience", she has found that her memory has improved a lot, which is very helpful for language learning. In less than a month, she has been able to proficiently read articles written in Hermes.

On this day, she pushed open the door of Mr. Baron's bedroom as usual, and was about to do the routine cleaning, but she was surprised to find that there was a figure inside, and the next second she recognized it was Joyce.

"Mr. Baron, why are you back!" She said in surprise, and then changed her tune after reacting:

"No, no, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"

Joyce smiled. He pointed to the open door and signaled the maid to close it. Although he doesn't mind being known whereabouts now, it's better to keep it a secret.

"I'm going out for a long trip tomorrow, so I'll come back to get something, so as not to miss something..."

The words seemed to have endless rich meanings, with expectations, trance and a little fear in their expressions... Sophia habitually entered the "audience" state and observed the complex mood swings of Mr. Baron.

After Joyce's gaze swept over, she quickly exited the "audience" state and asked:

"Then when will you come back next time?"

"As short as a week, as long as two or three weeks." Joyce replied uncertainly, then asked:

"How does it feel to go to an extraordinary party?"

Sophia raised her head slightly, with a slight smile on her face: "It's very novel."

"Everyone is hidden in thick cloaks, so I can't see their state clearly..."

"Most of the transactions proposed by the members will have no results, but isn't it easy to obtain Beyonder materials!"

Seeing the suspicious look in the maid's eyes, Joyce sighed silently: "It is purely a coincidence that you can successfully obtain the main ingredients of the potion. It's hard to have such a good thing again..."

Then, he asked again, "Did you gain anything from last week's extraordinary gathering?"

"Yes." Sophia said excitedly:

"I bought an antique from the Quaternary Epoch, and I also got a clue about the main material of 'Mind Reader'..."

"Well, that's right..." Joyce subconsciously planned to praise a few words, but when he heard the following words, he suddenly became uneasy. He sat up straight and asked seriously:

"Wait, what did you say? Clues to the main material?"

Buying the Quaternary Antiquities may be because you have done a good job in laying the groundwork, and the probability of occurrence is quite high... But finding the main material of the "Mind Reader" is a bit bizarre, although it is only a clue...

Joyce remembered that Miss Diviner was desperate for materials and couldn't get it. He thought that he was forced to choose the witch path, and he was going to take huge risks to seek skin from tigers for the materials... How can there be such a big gap between people...

Look at the maid, it's just that the "audience" potion is "provided" by Diego, it can only be regarded as a misunderstanding... Now that Diego is dead, there is still something to gain in the low-end game at "Scale" , and Wang Fa?

"What are you staring at me for, did I say something wrong?" Sophia's pure eyes revealed confusion:

"I tried to buy 'Falsman Rabbit Spinal Fluid', and one of the members promised to tell me the clue at the next meeting. Is there any problem here?"

...I don't mean to say: I have this material, but I didn't bring it with me. I'll sell it to you at the next party...

Joyce came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "No problem, no problem at all."

"I'm just regretting it now. I really regret not letting you choose the "monster" path..."

"I like the audience," Sophia whispered.

Ignoring this poignant question, Joyce had a whim, picked up a pen and scribbled on the paper the next line: Eggs of agate peacocks.

Give it to the maid: "At the next party, ask if anyone sells this material."

"Okay, no problem." Sophia readily agreed.

Finally, Joyce asked, "Has anyone come to see me recently?"

Sophia thought for a while, and then said a few names: "Mr. Thomas, the bishop of the church, and General Gordon..."

They are all insiders... Joyce is more certain of the previous speculation: the real reason for Bright's departure from Bayam has not spread, which is good news for him.

After chatting for a while, the maid was sent away. Joyce picked up the antique she bought, which was also a ring, but a little more gorgeous.

Checked to make sure it was a Quaternary item, and Joyce put it away, along with another ring bought from Miss Diviner, a mirror, and a damaged compass.

This is the real purpose of his coming home.

If all goes well, when Roy the "Flaming Lion" sets sail and returns to Bayam again, he will definitely miss the birth of Mr. Fool and the first Tarot Club...

So, Joyce decided to take these Quaternary objects with him...

However, he had an inexplicable hunch that the process of joining the Tarot Club would not be so simple.

……

The troops are divided into two groups.

On the other hand, Mr. Hunter set off for the location that Roy the "Flaming Lion" told him.

46 Sour Lemon Street, "Blue Wind" hotel.

The owner of the hotel was a fat middle-aged man who was sitting in front of the counter bored and smashing some kind of melon seeds. When Hunter came in, he immediately clapped his hands twice to clean up, and said respectfully:

"You are staying at the hotel... There is also a high-end room here."

Mr. Hunter was unmoved and said in a deep voice, "I'm looking for someone named Roy."

The fat boss hurriedly said, "Wait a moment."

Then he opened the ledger, flipped through it quickly, and quickly found Roy's name:

"Room 302 upstairs, do you need me to take you there?"

"No need." Hunter refused, then stepped up the stairs.

Knocked on the door, but no one answered. Judging from the experience of "hunters", there was no one in the room... Mr. Hunter simply pushed the door and broke in. After a careful inspection, he finally found a line of writing at the foot of the table: 8:00 tomorrow morning …
