"Do you use Sophia as a bargaining chip?" Joika was upset by Owen's statement.

"Or to put it another way, we're betting on Sophia's safety. Owen said.

"Oh, you already know that a necromancer wants to kidnap Sophia. ”

"The point is not on the necromancer, but on the Truth Society. ”

......

A few minutes later, when Joyka listened to Owen's account of what happened to him in the Rocard Empire, she couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect the truth of that cataclysm to be so low. Ray and Julian, I hope the two of them made the right choice. ”

"We can't help much with Ray and Julian's affairs, and the only thing I care about right now is the Truth Society. Owen said worriedly.

"You're right, the truth will be soaked even in the royal families of some big countries, and the horror of this organization is completely beyond our imagination. ”

"Because of this, my biggest concern right now is Sophia's safety, as a 'Stigmata', she is the most feared existence and the target of the Truth Society's most hopeful eradiation. ”

"So you're worried that Sophia has a secret stake of the Truth Society lurking around her?"

"I don't have any solid evidence, and I don't know who it is. But there will definitely be. ”

"Why are you so sure?

"Joika, you also know that with Sophia's current strength, the hidden spies of the Truth Society can't kill her at all, but if you start with the people around her and encroach on the worms step by step, it will be difficult to say. ”

"Who do you mean by Sophia?" or 'Pepper'?"

These days when she has nothing to do, Joyka secretly gives Alice the nickname "Little Pepper" in retaliation for her doing everything.

Owen didn't answer immediately, he threw a little earthy yellow object in front of Joika.

"Bread?" Joika picked it up, and it was a crumb of bread that had been dried, "Do you suspect that the fat man has been tricked?"

When it comes to bread, Joyka immediately knows who Owen is referring to, and the friend who can be fully endorsed by food, except for Cassius's big foodie, really can't think of anyone else.

"I don't have to hide it from you, in fact, I came here a week ago, and without telling Sophia, I sneaked into the Avenger camp to conduct a secret investigation, and naturally I also know what happened to those Avengers recently, including the incident of the necromancer trying to kidnap Sophia. ”

"Yes, since that incident, the fat man felt that his ability was not enough, so he found a hidden valley to hide and practice himself. ”

"So, for the past few days, Cassius has been in charge of his diet, right?"

"Do you suspect that someone has tampered with the fat man's meal?!" Joyka immediately understood what Owen meant.

"I didn't see it with my own eyes. Owen stood up, walked over to Joyka, and picked up the rusk crumbs again, "But I know this thing does contain some alchemical potion I don't recognize. What exactly it is, we can't analyze it until the real alchemist arrives, but ......"

"But if the fat man has been eating this for more than a month, he will definitely be hit!" Joyka "Huo" stood up, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"What will happen to Cassius, I will go to the camp tomorrow to meet Sophia in the open, and then go to meet Cassius myself for a while before I can finally confirm. But it's not him who worries me now. ”

"Are you worried that other people around Sophia will also be targeted?"

"That's right. You and Alice, one of them will be their target next. According to my analysis, Alice grew up in the camp, and if there really is a secret stake of the Truth Society among the Revengers, then they already know Alice's habits and style, and they will not be in a hurry to deal with her. ”

In other words, only outsiders like me and the fat man, who are unfamiliar and full of variables, will become the most urgent obstacles to be removed. Humph!" Joyka sneered and shook her head contemptuously, "It's funny, they're eyeing me?"

"You've been targeted, Joyka, and I've been seeing it clearly these days. You're being stalked and watched. Those sneaky guys seem to be afraid of your keen senses and don't dare to get too close, but even if it's just observation and monitoring from the periphery, I'm sure with your alertness, you won't be able to detect it. Owen raised an eyebrow and put the crumbs back on the table.

"Owen, you're right. I've always wondered who those cowardly people are. At first, I thought it was someone sent by Queen Catherine, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I hear you say that, I don't care. ”

"No, Joyka, don't act rashly. If you want to eradicate the secret stake of the truth around Sophia, and rescue Cassius, you must not let the other party know that some of them have been exposed. ”

"Owen, tell me about your plans. ”

"I need your cooperation, whether it's true or not. In short, the key to success or failure is yours. ”

"Stop being a fool. Say," Joeyka waved impatiently, "what are you going me to do?"

"What will be counted. Owen gave his answer.

"Hahaha...... Sounds funny to look at, and it reminds me of that enjoyable game last year in the Barbarians' Territory. Joyka picked up the tarot card on the table again, "I bet on this game." ”

Joyka would not deny that she did have true feelings for Sophia, and he knew that Sophia's heart was more inclined to Owen, but the friendship between them from childhood to adulthood and shared hardships was not so fragile that they became jealous because of the affair between men and women, and then got drunk and did not return home at night. The reason why Joyka did this was just to deliberately break herself and lead the other party to attack him.

Tricking the snake out of the hole – it's easy to say, but it takes a lot of courage to do it. Joika's depravity is fake, but it is true that he was controlled by Christina's charm, and if Sophia hadn't crossed into the "blood of the stigmata" in the end, he Joika might have been controlled forever.

That's the biggest bet Joeyka has made in this game.

"I can do it for you. Owen, don't let me down next. After moving the unconscious Cassius to a relatively safe place, Joyka looked at the tarot card "Hermit" in his hand and smiled coldly.

Although she didn't know where Owen and Sophia had gone, Joyka knew that the two of them were engaged in a fierce struggle with the enemy. The only thing Joyka could do for them now was to guard the frozen camp, as well as the immobile companions and the vast majority of them, until they returned.

However, this work seemed to become extremely difficult in an instant, because the bounty hunter's strong ability to warn of crises made Joyka feel a sense of oppression that was unprecedented and overwhelming, like a dark cloud covering the sky.

"That'...... What is it?" Joyka stood up and looked up at the sky, feeling her scalp tingle and her back in a cold sweat.

Through the gray sky covered by cold mist, a large black mass could be seen to have taken over the northern sky, moving rapidly towards the Avenger camp.
