Chapter 54: Going to Church to Sue
The "profiteer" in the flower cat mask is haggling with people, still putting on that arrogant attitude of not giving up an inch of land, and in the end, the buyer is like Joyce, heartbroken to pay for the extraordinary materials.
"He has the materials I need?" Charlie asked, confused.
"I don't know, it's time to give it a try." Joyce said, then walked briskly forward.
"Why are you again? It's a pity that you're late, and the materials have just been bought. The man in the flower cat mask said, casually closing the number cards on the table.
Joyce gave up his position: "It's not me, it's him who wants to ask for materials." ”
The man in the flower cat mask glanced at it and refused, saying:
"Go over there for materials and sticker notes, I don't have anything here."
Joyce smiled: "Why bother with money!" A chat won't delay you too long. ”
The man in the flower cat mask leaned back in his chair and asked casually;
"Well, what do you want?"
Joyce stepped back to the point where he couldn't hear the two talking, but he noticed that the two were communicating quite smoothly, and although there was no deal in the end, Charlie was beaming.
"Catchy?" Joyce asked.
Charlie nodded heavily: "Not now, but he said that he has a clue, let me come to him at the next party and prepare enough gold pounds." ”
Joyce glanced at the happy Charlie with a little pity, since the profiteer said "enough gold pounds", he will definitely slaughter you...... But it's good to have a reward.
"Next party?" He noticed the key point, the more high-end parties of this kind, the better!
Charlie explained in a cheerful voice: "This party is not held very often, sometimes it may be held twice a month, and when it is unlucky, it may not be held once in half a year. ”
Sure enough, this kind of random gathering is the norm, like the "scale", once a week, it is more strange to hold a party as steady as an old dog......
Joyce was puzzled and asked, "Then you are still so happy, what if the next party is a long time later?" ”
"Why are you upset when you have a clue?" Charlie asked rhetorically, and then whispered:
"And I know the next meeting won't be too long."
…………
Unfortunately, Joyce was disappointed that he had not received the "complete snake letter from the blue-eyed gray python" until the end of the party...... However, several members of the group wanted to exchange occult knowledge with him, but they were all fooled away by him......
Once again, they were taken by the grocery store owner for "teleportation", and instead of returning to Emmat Street, the two appeared on an unfamiliar street.
I don't know if it's really a "traveler", or if it's a corresponding magical item?
But this ability is really a childhood dream...... Well, doppelgangers too...... From this point of view, sure enough, "Gou Sanjia" is really in line with the aesthetics of the big foodie empire.
If it weren't for becoming an "assassin" and letting Joyce choose to take the initiative, he would probably choose the apprenticeship path...... Although he can't become a true god, he has a full ability to save his life, and he can still hug his thighs!
"What do you think?" Charlie patted him on the shoulder.
"Nothing." Joyce came back to his senses: "The party is over, do you want to go and relax?" ”
Charlie was obviously moved, but he cruelly refused:
"No, I have to go home and follow Planck on business, or I'll lose my assets forever!"
"Peace be upon you." Joyce reassured.
Charlie had a bitter face: "I wish you to become extraordinary soon." ”
…………
Back at 14 Stonne Street, "Provocateur" Hunter was the first to greet him:
"Young master, you haven't encountered any danger, have you?"
Joyce smiled: "I just went to the club with Charlie to practice the gun, and I didn't encounter any danger. ”
"Well, that's good."
After lunch, Joyce lay on the bed in his bedroom and pondered: where is the other potion ingredient for the "instigator" going to go?
There's also an extraordinary party at the Lemon Tree Bar on the weekend, but also consider the possibility of no catch......
Other extraordinary channels are also difficult to explore, and Emily may have channels, but he doesn't want to expose the fact that she is about to be promoted...... Although the two are currently in a close relationship, the hole cards should be kept, even if the cards are a bit small......
However, if there is no harvest on the weekend, she can only use the excuse of preparing materials in advance to turn to Emily......
The midday sun shone in through the balcony, and the whole bedroom was warm, with a gentle breeze, Joyce couldn't hold back and took a nap.
In the afternoon he got into the carriage and departed with two escorts under the satisfied eyes of Mr. Hunter.
He was going to church.
The point for a "devout believer" like him who only goes to church once every two weeks is that the reason for each visit is not to pray, but for another reason...... Constantly worried about whether the "Storm Lord" would hack him with lightning, which caused him to be even more reluctant to go to church, a vicious circle......
Whatever the purpose, entering the church and listening to the prayers of the people will be calm, and the tyrant may not have the authority to be peaceful, but the fear of the gods is enough to make the most unruly people bow their heads.
As before, Joyce opened his eyes, and a priest led him to the back of the hall...... Even the priest was the one from last time!
"The storm is above."
"The storm is above."
Facing Bishop Chogory and bowing, the two sat separately.
The burly Bishop was the first to speak:
"It's been a long time since you've been to church, and only by listening to the Lord's teachings can we truly grasp the power He has given us."
"I repent, Your Excellency." Joyce explains:
"During this time, I sorted out the relics left by my father and made an unexpected discovery, about William's death."
"What is it, child?" There was power in Chogori's calm voice.
Joyce lowered his head and said in a soft voice:
"It's a letter, and when I read it, it turned to ashes."
This is not a lie, and what I burned was also reduced to ashes...... After two seconds, he looked up, "Lord Bishop, are you extraordinary?" ”
Qiao Goli nodded calmly: "I am the Lord's agent in the world. ”
Joyce said thoughtfully, "William was also an extraordinary man, and he mentioned some details in the letter he left me, so that I could find some clues along the way......"
"But I was kidnapped before I could find out......," his voice began to tremble, as if remembering a memory of fear.
"Kidnapping?" Chogori frowned and asked, "Wasn't he assassinated?" ”
Joyce lowered his head again: "It's a kidnapping." ”
"Last Saturday, I was kidnapped when I left General Gordon's dinner......"
Qiao Goli suddenly interrupted: "Who kidnapped you?" ”
"Diego, a major in MI9." Joyce said truthfully.
"Why did he kidnap you?" Jogory asked again.
Joyce replied in an uncertain tone:
"It seems to be something left behind for William...... But before he could torture me, he was killed by a mysterious man in black who suddenly broke in. ”
"It was a secret room, it was very dark, I couldn't see the face of the mysterious man, and the man's voice was deliberately so strange that it couldn't even tell the difference between men and women."
"What did the mysterious man who saved you say?" Joe Gorey asked, not beyond Joyce's expectations.
"The man told me: Don't investigate William's affairs until you become extraordinary."
Then, confused, he said, "The man also said a name: 'Witch Sect'......"
"Lord Bishop, what kind of organization is the 'Witch Sect'? Could they be William's killers? ”
