Chapter Forty-Six: News of an Extraordinary Gathering
"Joyce! What about Joyce? ”
"What does it look like to be in a hurry, I want to teach you a lesson when I see it by Mr. Planck."
"I'm not worried about you!"
Charlie "barged" into the living room and looked Joyce up and down with concern: "You haven't been hurt by anything, are you?" ”
"Nope." Joyce motioned for him to sit down first.
Charlie ignored it, but said indignantly:
"What bastard would dare to assassinate my brother!"
"You sit down first...... Joyce said helplessly.
"Ran away by that bastard assassin, and the Byam Police Department is actively investigating."
Charlie sat on the couch and sneered:
"Forget it, those cops...... How not to let MI9 investigate, cases involving nobles, can be their jurisdiction. ”
Just killed the major of MI9 and let their people investigate me, this is not knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, but playing with fire and self-immolation...... Joyce thought amusedly, and retorted by saying:
"It can also be not. Moreover, MI9 is now almost exhausted by the inexplicable death of one of their majors, the same night I was assassinated. ”
"Such a coincidence, could it be the same group of people who did it?" Charlie guessed curiously.
Joyce nodded in agreement: "I can't rule it out, but that's not something I should worry about, the Byam Police Department and MI9 will investigate clearly, I just need to ensure my own safety." ”
Charlie wanted to speak again, he looked at Sophia behind him, Joyce saw this, turned his head and ordered, "You go out first." ”
After the maid lady went out, Charlie said with a rare face: "It is indeed worth paying attention to." ”
"Recently, the situation in Rorsted has not been very stable, and it seems that the kingdom is going to make some big moves...... Also, Mr. William's sacrifice may have something else to hide. ”
Joyce was very entangled in his heart, and said in his heart: When my eyes were black, I didn't see anyone to remind me, and when I figured out the cause of William's death, I would come to the afterthought!
Puzzled, he asked, "How did you have such news?" ”
Charlie said with a bitter face: "Recently, Planck has been pulling me to deal with a bunch of boring business, and it's hard not to know!" ”
This is a bit Versailles...... Joyce mused, "I'll strengthen my security. ”
"Russell the Great once said that it is better to ask for others than for yourself." Charlie picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering:
"Simply, you have become an extraordinary person, you see, I am not alive and well now! Thomas always likes to exaggerate the facts......"
"Although my combat power has not been particularly improved since I became a 'pharmacist', I can complete a short burst through potions...... By the way, those potions for you are still working. ”
It's all used by Emily, how do I know...... Joyce said, "It works. ”
Then responded to Charlie's previous words: "After being assassinated, it is a good choice to become extraordinary, but as far as I know, it is also a matter of luck to find the potion recipe and master ingredient that suits you. ”
Charlie straightened his back and said proudly:
"Don't look at who I am!"
Joyce stared at him and said with a smile:
"What is your identity, selling aphrodisiacs?"
Charlie rolled his eyes and emphasized:
"My teacher is a member of the School of Life, a hidden organization with a long history of kindness and order, and it's not easy to get recipes and materials!"
"What, your teacher wants to take an extra student?" Joyce asked curiously.
Charlie shook his finger at him and sneered, "You are not qualified enough. ”
Joyce said angrily:
"So what's the point? Can you give me the materials I want? ”
"Neither can we." Charlie shook his head, then added:
"Although I don't have the recipe and the ingredients, I have the means, this Thursday, the School of Life has an extraordinary gathering in Byam, and I can take you to it."
Joyce was happy at first, but then frowned and asked:
"It's not appropriate for you to take me as an outsider to the gathering between the members of the Secret Organization, right?"
Charlie waved his hand and said indifferently:
"It's not a conspiracy to get together, it's just an ordinary gathering of extraordinary people. You have needs, and more importantly, money, and are the kind of people who are popular everywhere. ”
Joyce nodded secretly:
"It makes sense, it seems that I have no reason to refuse."
Then, he saw Charlie coming over, his eyes were eager, and he couldn't help but be startled: "What do you want to do?" ”
"That...... What...... Borrow some money. Charlie said with a slurp.
Borrow money, borrow money, don't get gaygay...... Joyce sneered and asked:
"How much to borrow, what to borrow?"
Charlie hurriedly said: "Not much, just three hundred pounds, my sequence nine potions ...... Well, I'd like to gather materials for Sequence 8 in advance. ”
The main ingredient of a single potion in Sequence Eight is about 300 to 400 pounds, but that is the normal price, and the extraordinary materials are basically purchased at a premium...... Thinking of this, Joyce asked:
"How much money do you have?"
Charlie sighed and said, "It's only five hundred pounds, and Planck has taken care of all my funds......"
"You deserve it, let you mess around." Joyce thought for a moment and said:
"Well, I'll lend you five hundred pounds, so you don't have any pocket money after you've bought the extraordinary materials."
Charlie excitedly stood up and wanted to hug Joyce, but was stopped by the latter: "I have conditions, you have to help me configure another batch of potions, well, there is no need for those potions." ”
"No problem, wrap it up on me." Charlie patted his chest and promised, agreed on the time of the next meeting, and left happily.
…………
"How is Mr. Charlie so secretive?" Sophia asked curiously as she came in to pour her tea.
"That's his character......" Joyce replied casually while reading a book, then suddenly looked up again and asked, "How is your potion adapting?" ”
Talking about this, Sophia was a little excited:
"I'm getting more and more fond of being a 'spectator', as if I have the ability to read minds."
Then your feeling is quite accurate, the eighth sequence of the audience path is called "mind reader...... Joyce nodded in satisfaction, and couldn't help but admonish again:
"You still have to remember that sentence: don't indulge in the state of 'audience', you are Sophia first, and then you are the 'audience'."
"Understood, Mr. Baron." Sophia agreed.
Joyce took a sip of hot black tea, then asked casually:
"What did Mr. Hunter do when he returned?"
The viewer's keen observation helps Sophia discover many details of life, and she says:
"Mr. Hunter has brought back a lot of unsmiling guards this time, and the atmosphere in the house is much more serious......"
"Also, Mr. Hunter reprimanded Mr. Harry, who didn't say a word......"
Because of the assassination, Harry also blamed himself, his mood was not high in the past two days, well, he always had a serious face...... Listening to the maid's nagging, Joyce felt a little calm, like the calm sea during a break in a storm, and like a brief tranquillity between lightning and thunder.
But the tranquility didn't last long.
