Chapter 18: I Want ......

"Sit down first."

Sophia sat down in the chair across from Joyce, only half of her buttocks, and her heart began to become nervous.

"The coffee tastes good, you made it?"

"Yes, I noticed that you don't like plain coffee." After Sophia finished speaking, she secretly glanced up at him.

I don't see it, but the observation is pretty good...... Joyce muttered in his heart, and he saw the nervousness of the maid, and with his elbows on the table, he leaned forward, and feigned intimidation:

"What are you afraid of, are you worried that I'm an evil wizard who decided to kill people after you discovered the secret?"

"Nope."

For some reason, hearing the familiar flirtation of Mr. Baron, Sophia was much more relieved.

All right...... Seeing that the intimidation did not have the expected effect, Joyce lamented that the current girl was not easy to deceive, and leaned back in the chair again:

"You ask me to answer? Or do I say you listen? ”

Sophia was silent, indicating her choice.

As a result, Joyce began to selectively popularize science:

"In the Second Age, after the birth of human beings, the Extraordinary began to be active in various continents, helping humans survive the oppression of giants, dragons, elves and other creatures."

"From the Quaternary Age, humans became the masters of all continents, extraordinary powers began to retreat, and the church of the Seven Gods became the most powerful organization of extraordinary beings."

Speaking of this, Joyce paused, and unsurprisingly saw Sophia's surprised eyes, he didn't care, and continued to himself:

"As I said before, the Extraordinary are a group of people with magical abilities, manipulating fire, condensing frost, stealth, and flying...... Anything that exists in your imagination can be realized. ”

"If you want to become extraordinary, you need to take the corresponding potion, which is divided into twenty-two paths according to the extraordinary abilities and powers obtained."

"The Church of the Seven has its own potion recipes in different ways, and in addition to this, there are many secret organizations in the extraordinary world, most of which are not visible and are often hunted down by official forces."

"Most of the evil and cruel sacrificial rituals you have heard of are made by them, just to please the evil gods they believe in."

"Therefore, the extraordinary world is not the mysterious beauty you dream of, but is always facing danger, which not only comes from the outside, but also from the extraordinary person himself."

"While gaining extraordinary power, the extraordinary is also being eroded by the force, and it is a common thing to lose control, and they may fall into the abyss at any time and become the monster they hate the most."

"How, are you still interested in being extraordinary?"

The maid lady lowered her head, making her expression unclear and not knowing what she was thinking...... Joyce said a little dry, and raised his glass to take a large sip of his still warm coffee.

Sophia suddenly raised her head and asked:

"What are the twenty-two paths?"

Ahem...... Joyce almost squirted his coffee...... Beauty, your focus is wrong...... He shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly:

"I'm just a newcomer to the extraordinary, and I'm currently at the bottom of the extraordinary world, how can I know everything!"

While I really know everything, I can't tell you...... He saw the self-reproaching expression of the maid who had asked a stupid question, and then added:

"However, I still know a little bit about it, such as the audience approach."

Sophia showed a curious look at the right time, and listened to the introduction of Monsieur Baron:

"The extraordinary person in the audience channel is good at observing, figuring out the mental activities of others, understanding their true inner thoughts, and subtly influencing and even changing people's behavior through suggestion."

It sounds amazing, and it's kind of familiar...... Sophia, recalling her embarrassing behavior in the morning, blurted out:

"Those golden pupils!"

Joyce nodded to confirm her guess:

"That's right, it's a magical item for the audience path."

Then, he explained a lot of common sense of the extraordinary world, and when he found that the maid lady had a tendency to "indigestion of knowledge", he stopped and said with relief:

"You have plenty of time to think, and when you really figure out the pros and cons, tell me your decision."

"As long as I'm alive."

…………

Dean is now very excited and proud, if there is an ancient poem to describe his mood, it must be "the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day".

He clearly remembered the expressions of all the officers when he received the letter sent by Baron Best, surprised, puzzled, envious, and jealous......

After tomorrow, the whole police department will know about it, and it will give him a sense of satisfaction that he has never felt before.

However, when he opened the letter alone, Dean was apprehensive, because he had not yet ascertained what Baron Best had ordered, and only got some eyebrows for the time being.

Thankfully, there was no mention of this in the letter.

Baron Best told him to immediately go to 52 Pritz Street and dispose of the anomaly in the house, but the letter did not mention the anomaly, only a key was attached.

Dean didn't dare to delay, he even called a carriage, and he didn't feel any distressed, because he knew that as long as the task was successfully completed, he would get more.

Pritz Street, not a particularly bustling street, is populated by middle-class people with stable jobs, but the housing and rent are also unaffordable for Dean, who is a police officer.

After getting off the bus near House 50 and paying the fare, Dean shook his head and quickly looked around, although he didn't know why Baron Best warned him to be cautious, but that didn't stop him from being cautious as he had always been, this was his way of surviving in the gang.

He didn't find any suspicious people or anything, so he walked to house No. 52, calmly took out the key, opened the door, entered the house, closed the door, and skillfully seemed to be back to his own home.

After seeing the scene in the living room, Dean frowned, it was not uncommon for him to have never seen a dead person, let alone only have one eye gouged out, or it was not uncommon for him to have his leg and foot broken.

What puzzled him was why a noble baron would let himself dispose of a corpse?

He looked closer, and saw a wanted notice next to the corpse that read, "Pirate, Lucky Chloe, 1,200 pounds bounty", and the portrait on the wanted warrant looked exactly like the corpse.

Pirates are common in Byam, and dead pirates are not uncommon, but the corpse of a pirate worth 1,200 pounds is in Dean's blind spot.

His first reaction was to change the bounty and fly away, but after thinking about it, Baron Best dared to leave the matter to himself like this, was he at ease with himself, or was he on guard?

He didn't dare to gamble, and he didn't want to gamble, obviously there was a safer and more transparent upward channel, so a fool would take a risk.

He is good at handling corpses, although he doesn't often do this thing in exchange for bounties, but there are still channels, that is, the bounty will be deducted partially, presumably the baron will not care about these details.

After figuring it out, Dean wiped the blood from the living room as fast as he could, restored the messy furniture, and put the body in a hemp bag and took it away without anyone finding it.

Little did he know that in the middle of the night, a dark shadow sneaked into the house, circled around, and left in confusion.

…………

After dinner, Joyce was thinking about something in the bedroom, when Sophia suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, and said in a firm tone:

"I decided."

"I'm going to be extraordinary."

"I'm going to be a 'spectator.'"
