Chapter 55: "Smart Man" Bright
Upon hearing the name of the "Witch Sect", Qiao Gori stood up suddenly, his burly body quite oppressive, as if he was about to rush out to join the battle...... After calming down and sitting down again, he replied:
"The 'Witch Cult' is a secret evil organization, and their members believe in evil gods other than the Seven Gods, a group of sinners who are always wreaking havoc on chaos and disaster."
"I don't know if William's death had anything to do with them, but it might be a good clue."
Joyce looked determined when he heard this: "No matter what, I will look for an opportunity to become an extraordinary person and investigate this matter to the end." ”
Chogory stared at him for a few seconds: "The Extraordinary are a group of poor worms who are always in contact with the darkness, kid, you can have a better choice. ”
"I've made a decision." Joyce insisted.
Chogori was silent for a long time: "The Lord says: Tribulation makes a man self-reliant. ”
"Follow your heart's decision, fate will guide you on your way, and the church is your strongest backing."
"The Lord will bless you."
"The storm is above."
Joyce also clenched his fist and hammered his left chest, and said passionately: "The storm is up." ”
As he was leaving, he asked the priest beside him who was leading the way:
"The last time I came to church, I met a man with a rough look, dark blue hair, and a particularly sharp face, why didn't I see him this time?"
The clergyman in the robes of the Storm kept moving forward:
"You mean Alger? He went to sea a while ago. ”
Sure enough, it was him, Mr. "The Hanged Man...... Joyce mentally confirmed, "You seem familiar with him?" ”
The priest was silent for two seconds and said, "We are all orphans adopted by the church. ”
"May the Lord bless you." Joyce gave a reassuring sigh and poured fifty pounds of cash into the offering box.
Today's action was purely self-inflicted, and was not part of his and Emily's plans.
As the link in the game, and the most vulnerable link, Joyce believes that the "triangle" is the most stable structure.
The Church of the Storm has long shown interest in William and himself, pulling them into the field, both to ensure the success rate of the plan against Ianna, and to prevent an aftermath with Emily, which will do more good than harm.

Bishop Chogory stayed in the room, unsure of what he was thinking, until a sturdy man in civilian clothes knocked on the door and walked in.
"Your Excellency Chogory, I'm here."
"Recently, there have been traces of the 'Witch Sect' in Baiam, you go and investigate." Chogori arranged.
The sturdy man accepted the order, and then asked, "What about the 'Rose School'?" ”
"Let's investigate together, focusing on the 'Witch Sect'."
"Yes, Lord Chogori."
…………
On Saturday night, Joyce attended the ball as promised.
He lifted Ianna's right hand and kissed it gently.
"I've said it once, but I'm going to say it a second time: you're the brightest woman tonight."
Ianna smiled "hehe", which is somewhat similar to Emily, maybe this is the commonality of "witches", or maybe it is the tacit understanding between the two as "husband and wife".
"You haven't seen the other ladies and ladies at the ball, is that not biased?"
Joyce said confidently: "I trust my own judgment. ”
"Then I'll take it seriously!" As she walked, Ianna said, "I'll invite you to do the opening dance, don't say no!" ”
"It's an honor." He said gentlemanly.
The ball held by Iana was naturally not as formal as General Gordon's, and the hall was full of laughter and laughter.
In addition, among the guests, there were many officers and generals dressed in various military uniforms, most of whom were unfamiliar faces, but there were also familiar ...... Some of the officers who attended General Gordon's dinner were ...... They saw Joyce's eyes different, some surprised, some helpless, and some meaningful......
Joyce smiled and nodded, ignoring it.
Soon, he naturally spotted an expected familiar figure.
Picking up a glass of champagne, he stepped forward and said:
"Major General Bright, meet again."
Looking at Joyce, whose eyes were jumping and smiling, Bright felt that he was mocking himself, but thinking of Ianna's advice, he secretly suppressed his anger:
"Baron Best, it's been a long time, I heard that you were assassinated, but you weren't injured."
The smile on Joyce's face grew brighter: "Thanks to you, I didn't get hurt. ”
Then, he put on a sad expression: "It's a pity that Major Diego, we were assassinated on the same day, and I was lucky to survive, but unfortunately he didn't have this luck." ”
He said this on purpose, he knew that Diego was sent by me and that he was provoking me...... Bright struggled to calm himself down, letting go of the wine glass that was almost shattered, and barely squeezed out an ugly expression:
"yes, Diego didn't have that luck...... However, MI9 has already found out that the cause of the assassination was a killer sent by the rebels. ”
MI9 closed? Joyce's eyes flashed slightly, he didn't know the news.
Although he is a nobleman, in the eyes of the real high-level, his status as a baron is not worth anything, and he naturally cannot know the confidential information accurately and in a timely manner.
In the face of my repeated provocations, it was clear that Bright had been suppressing his emotions, and he was a very irritable general...... Sure enough, he was worried about the mysterious person behind him......
This is good when dealing with smart people, he will guess the deep meaning behind his arrogance, otherwise he may have been slapped in the face when he encounters a second stunned......
After thinking about it, Joyce suddenly realized:
"It turned out that the rebels did it, and it seems that I also have to urge the Byam police station, they are too inefficient compared to MI9."
After that, the two touched a glass, which meant that the assassination stopped at the official level, and the rest was a private exchange of interests.
Joyce admired the young and beautiful ladies and ladies in the hall, and asked casually:
"I heard Ianna say that Her Excellency is a good friend with her?"
Bright glanced at him, "That's right. ”
"Your Excellency Major General is so blessed to have met such a beautiful woman as Ianna!"
Joyce exaggerated, deliberately adding a lot more to the pronunciation of "woman".
Then he pretended to be frivolous and asked, "I wonder if you can pass on a little experience to me?" ”
Bright was surprised why he asked such a question, but it hit him right at the point of pride, and he said rhetorically:
"You have to be ...... against a creature like a woman"
Sure enough, the followers of the Lord of the Storm, machismo is very serious, but your thinking is dangerous...... Joyce sneered in her heart, and her mouth actively cooperated with continuous inquiries, and sighed......
Seeing that the guests were almost there, Ianna walked into the ballroom and saw Joyce and Bright together, chatting happily and even hooking shoulders.
She froze for two seconds......
