"Who is it?"

Joyce reflexively drew his dagger and took a fighting stance, only to find that the room was empty except for him.

"Looks like your 'Assassin' potion is digesting well."

The woman's voice sounded again, and Joyce asked with a frown:

"Emily?"

As soon as the words fell, a familiar figure appeared on the bed, it was Emily.

The clothes were thin, the shoulders were open, the breasts were half exposed, and she was not in good condition, her face was pale, her waist and left arm were tied with bandages, and she looked not lightly injured.

"You're hurt?" Joyce was still frowning, but the meaning of his words was a little unclear, and he never put down the weapon in his hand.

Emily didn't care, pointing to the wound and explaining:

"I went to verify the authenticity of the intelligence, and this is the price paid."

"You went to Ianna's house?" Joyce put away the dagger and asked, puzzled:

"But she's obviously not at home tonight, how can you get hurt?"

"How do you know that Ianna isn't home?" Emily's surprise blurted out.

"I went to a dinner party, Ianna was also there, we had a conversation, and she invited me to the next week's ball, but for some reason, she left abruptly......"

Joyce briefly described what had happened, and suddenly reacted and asked:

"It can't be because of you, is it?"

Emily stared at Joyce for a moment, then sighed and admitted, "That's right. ”

"Tonight, I sneaked into Ianna's house, but I accidentally stepped into a well-designed trap, and after successfully getting out, I met her and just returned, so we got into a fight."

"I'm not an opponent, I managed to escape, so I was injured a lot."

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for the potions in your room, which helped me control my injuries and not deteriorate."

Joyce said casually nonchalantly:

"It's not worth anything, just bought it from a party."

"What's the takeaway from your exploration?"

Before Emily could answer, there was a knock on the door, and it was the maid lady who had come to inform her that the hot water had been prepared.

Turning her head and finding that Emily had become invisible again, Joyce twitched the corners of her mouth and turned to leave the bedroom.

Joyce, who was supposed to enjoy the bath, was upset by Emily's presence, not because he didn't want to see her, but rather because he was looking forward to the meeting, because only then could he get the recipe for the potion for the "Instigator......

But her direct and blatant appearance in her bedroom really made Joyce's already little sense of security discounted again.

"Tomorrow, I will let someone call the 'provocateur' Hunter back, although he is only the eighth sequence, but the combat power of the Hunter Path Extraordinary is definitely trustworthy, anyway, his 'assassin' potion has been basically digested, and he will not sneak out in the middle of the night to play."

Truth be told, after seeing the injured Emily, Joyce's first thought turned out to be to kill her and get the extraordinary trait...... But he was immediately alert, and quickly dispelled the idea.

Not to mention that there is a high probability that he will be killed, just say that in dealing with Ianna, the two have the same purpose and can cooperate.

In addition, Emily is not only physically injured tonight, but also seems to be in a somewhat wrong mental state, I wonder if it is her own delusion...... Joyce didn't dare to delay any longer, quickly dried herself, changed into a bathrobe and went back to the bedroom.

The gas lamp in the bedroom lit up the whole room, Emily covered the quilt, leaned on the pillow and was reading, when she saw Joyce come in, put down the book and said:

"You're back."

How can there be a sense of déjà vu for a wife waiting for her husband to come home?

Joyce scratched her head and shook off the strange feeling, but it grew stronger after she got under the covers and lay side by side with Emily on the bed.

In order to break the embarrassment, he said with concern: "Are your injuries serious?" ”

Emily commented on her experience:

"If it's out of the way, it will be fine in three or five days, and there will be no scars."

After all, it's a "witch", and the recovery ability is still good...... Joyce thought, hearing Emily not stop talking, but continued to ask:

"Your reaction to my voice is exaggerated, and you came back late, why?"

Anyone who hears a stranger's voice in their bedroom is nervous...... Joyce sneered, and then replied half-truthfully:

"Someone assassinated someone on the way back after leaving the dinner, but fortunately I solved it."

"Do you know who sent it?" Emily asked.

"I don't know, but I'll have someone investigate." Joyce didn't want to dwell on the subject, and instead said:

"I found that Ianna's temperament is very similar to yours, why is that?"

"Because we are extraordinary people on the same path." After saying this, Emily was silent for a long time, as if she was making up her mind:

"Remember when I told you that Ianna belonged to an evil secret organization?"

Joyce nodded, listening as she continued:

"The name of that organization is 'Witch Sect', and it holds the 'Witch' path, and Ianna and I were both members of the organization, but I voluntarily broke away from them."

"Why?" Joyce asked, feeling he would get an answer.

Emily's good-looking eyebrows are distorted with anger:

"Because the members of the 'Witch Sect' discriminate against women."

Yes? What is the answer to this?

I didn't expect you to still have the consciousness of equality between men and women, so what kind of "witch" should you be, to believe in the goddess of the night!

"I don't quite understand." Joyce was very sincere.

Emily patiently explained in detail:

"The 'Witch Sect' has a distinctive feature: all the top leaders of the organization are women, and this is because the 'Witch' path can turn men into women."

"Change gender! How can it be! Joyce always remembered that he was an extraordinary rookie in Emily's eyes, so he reacted very exaggeratedly.

"It's true, I've seen it with my own eyes." Emily said with a complicated expression and some hatred.

Noticing her expression, Joyce asked, widening her eyes:

"You won't be ...... too"

"Nope." Emily interrupted, "I've always been a woman, that's why the 'Witch Sect' won't accept my request for promotion, they'd rather turn a man into a woman and have fun doing it than give me a potion formula. ”

Well, this is because the "Primordial Witch Chick" is a man's promotion to godhood, so the "witch" path will be deliberately distorted......

It turns out that you are a woman, but it's okay, I always thought that I slept with a "witch" who was promoted by a man, and I was at ease...... Joyce thought, his eyes still full of confusion:

"So you defected from the 'Witch Sect'......"

"Then why did you take the initiative to trouble Ianna? You shouldn't be running far, right...... Is it to get the potion recipe for the next sequence? ”

"That's one of the reasons." Emily affirmed:

"More important reasons ......"

"Ianna was my husband."
