Chapter 34: A Glimpse
Around noon, Joyce appeared near Naomi's house.
He wore a dark gray round hat, a blouse similar to a sea soul shirt, and a pair of linen trousers, and sat in a slightly worn carriage, as if he were a coachman waiting to carry passengers.
Of course, if someone really wants to take the car, he will excuse it and say that someone has already booked it.
Because he didn't know exactly when Fabian would go out for a tryst with Ianna, Joyce, who didn't want to miss this opportunity, had to resort to the stupid method of waiting for the rabbit.
Although the method is relatively simple and primitive, it is safe and effective enough.
Previously, he had envisioned another possibility: using the powers of the "Assassin" to hide at the bottom of Fabian's carriage and follow him into Ianna's house.
However, this plan was quickly rejected by him, and he was not sure that he would be able to hide it from Ianna, who was once a veteran "assassin...... All you need to do is confirm Ianna's place and give the information to Emily, so there's no need to take such a big risk.
The weak must have the appearance of the weak, and they cannot rush to the forefront in everything.
The "Assassins" only carry out their assassinations if they are able to preserve themselves.
In the middle of summer, the cool sea breeze can't stop the hot sun, which makes the wait seem very long.
Finally, the "rabbit" came out of the hole.
A carriage departed from the main entrance of Naomi's house, turned to the left and galloped away.
Joyce said "Sure enough", and waited for the carriage to move a little farther away, and immediately started to follow.
After listening to Naomi last night, he was actually curious about how Fabian got in touch with Ianna?
If Ianna just wanted to play, she had a lot of options, there was no need to pick such a person who had nothing to do with her, and Fabian was not in a high position, the only special thing was that he worked for the Doge's Palace......
Perhaps, this is part of human trafficking.
Along these lines, Joyce thought of many things at once, including that Governor Rorsted was a member of the Negan family, that Duke Negan would be assassinated by the "Dusk Hermit" in the future, and that Adam was "cooperating" with George III to become a god......
It's obviously a "rape catch", why did you think so far-reaching? Joyce reflected deeply, and no longer froze herself, and hung intently from the back of Fabian's carriage.
Thanks to the lack of mirrors in this era, and Joyce's very good driving skills, his tracking has gone undetected so far.
Soon, Fabian's carriage turned into a garden villa, and Joyce did not stop, but drove straight past the doorway, casually glancing at the guard at the door, as if he was just passing by.
When he left the villa's line of sight, Joyce pulled a horse, got into the car and turned it up for a long time, changed into a completely different and more decent set of clothes, and drove back again.
Choosing to enter a café on the street, sitting by the window with a view of the villa door, Joyce began to wait quietly, hoping to see Ianna with his own eyes and ensure the accuracy of the information.
Even if Anna never showed up, he would still give this information to Emily and let her investigate it herself.
Asking the waiter for a newspaper, Joyce began to read it in disguise, but kept an eye out the window for movement.
The local newspapers in Byam are naturally the most popular news on the sea, with the most recent front-page headlines being:
"The kingdom's navy is brave and invincible, and the 'Admiral of Blood' and 'Vice Admiral Dusk' fled in a hurry."
Well, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a big battle between the two pirate groups of "Blood Admiral" and "Lieutenant Admiral Dusk", as if there is nothing going on with the navy......
When I was reading books in my last life, I had a question: The Four Kings are enough, why didn't the Navy take the initiative to exterminate the "Seven Pirate Generals"?
In Joyce's view today, there are two reasons for this.
First, the pirate generals are basically the extraordinary people of the fifth sequence, and there is a group of low-level subordinates, wandering in the vast sea, it is difficult to be detected, and if the demigods are not mobilized, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate them.
Second, most of the pirate generals were subordinate members of the secret organizations, and some even came from the Orthodox Church, and even if the navy made great efforts to eliminate them, it would not be difficult for those organizations to cultivate a Sequence Five.
Therefore, the high-level who knows the inside story has no choice but to turn a blind eye.
Continuing to read the lace news in the newspaper, true or false, Joyce saw an unexpected person appear,
Naomi! How did she get here?
I wrote in the morning to inform me that the operation was cancelled, and I came running...... Well, I don't seem qualified to talk about her, after all, people are the real rapists, and I have other plans......
Damn, this is too reckless!
Joyce's eyes widened in surprise as he saw Naomi trying to rush into the villa in such a simple and straightforward way, inevitably clashing with the guards at the door.
The key thing is, she also won!
If Naomi becomes an Extraordinary in the Storm Path, her promotion must be fast......
More guards appeared, and the noise grew louder, and the other customers in the café heard about it, not to mention the people in the villa.
Two minutes later, Fabian appeared in front of Naomi with a serious face, and the two argued about something, the former even slapped the latter, and the final result was that Naomi left in tears and anger.
At the same time, Joyce noticed a coolly dressed woman on the balcony on the second floor of the villa, whose super vision gave him the clearest feeling.
It's beautiful!
Ianna, sure enough, it's her!
Joyce clenched his right hand into a fist and swung it in a small amplitude excitedly, and after looking at it for two more seconds, he noticed that Ianna had moved her eyes to the café.
Discovered? The inspiration of the "witch" is so high!
No, maybe just a casual glance...... Joyce immediately looked down at the newspaper, covered her face with the hat on top of her head, and drank her coffee as if nothing had happened, without looking over again.
…………
Back at 14 Stonne Street, Joyce immediately contacts Emily through mirror magic.
He had expected to wait for a long time like last time, but in less than ten minutes, wet handwriting appeared on the mirror:
"Delivered to the place where we first started."
…… Does that mean she doesn't want to meet with me anymore?
Could it be that Emily is not in a good situation right now and is evading the pursuit? But she's quick to reply...... Moreover, how can I get the recipe for the "instigator" without meeting......
This is Party B's helplessness.
Joyce was forced to pull out a pen and paper, write down his findings one by one, and send them out.
Immediately afterwards, Sophia knocked on the door and told him:
"Mr. Thomas is visiting."
