After a day of rest, Joyce went to visit General Gordon's house.

General Gordon had been reinstated and was quite busy with official business, so the two of them only chatted briefly in the study.

Joyce learned some of the inside story of Bright's departure and how the situation had changed since then, and mentioned Admiral Emilius.

General Gordon said with a smile on his face: "Your Excellency admires you very much, and said that I will meet you personally when I am free!" ”

Thanks, excuse me, there's no need for this...... I'm just a small character, Joyce frantically refused, and said a perfunctory word.

When he proposed his farewell, Gordon sighed with relief:

"Byam, and indeed the entire Rorsted Islands, will not see any more large-scale human trafficking anytime soon, and William's death is not meaningless."

Needless to say, this was a good thing, but it caused Joyce to feel intensely uncomfortable.

Rorsted's human trafficking stopped, but George III's plan to become the "Black Emperor" could not be suspended, and he was forced to choose to scavenge the interior of Rune...... In order to hide this fact and prevent the major churches from discovering it, the "Witch Sect" was allowed to create the "Great Smog of Beckland", causing tens of thousands of deaths and injuries......

Am I the butterfly?

…………

The carriage came to a slow stop, and a preoccupied Joyce stepped out of the carriage, letting the sun shine all over her body, and looking up to see the tall and solemn Church of the Waves.

This time, instead of going to Bishop Chogori, he earnestly followed the faithful in chanting prayers until his emotions slowly calmed down.

He then walked into the confessional room.

"If I do a good deed and save a lot of innocent people, but it is likely to cause a greater disaster and kill more people, then what I am doing is still meaningful?"

The small confessional room was dim and silent.

After a long time, Mr. Priest replied in an old voice:

"In this world, good and evil are opposed to each other, and we cannot abandon good because evil is too powerful and too cruel."

"Good is good, and the ultimate goal of good is to remove all evil from the world, and it is inevitable to pay a small price for it."

"Child, don't worry about it, do it boldly, one day, my lord will use thunder to wipe out all evil, and then you will not regret your current choice."

Joyce thought for half a minute, then asked:

"What is the purpose of a person's existence?"

The priest replied quickly this time, as if he had answered many times, and was very skillful:

"We came naked, and we went naked...... To eat, to be full, to sleep, to rest, to come to church, to listen to the teachings of the Lord. ”

"The meaning of life is in the present, in what you do, how you do it, why you do it......"

As he walked out of the church, Joyce held his head high and no longer hesitated.

He had gotten into the horns before...... Even though, he has not yet brought any change to the world, and even inadvertently created the original story, as if every choice he made was predestined......

But, so what?

Now he is still relatively weak, as long as he can grow up quickly and become a demigod, or even an angel, one day, he will jump out of the cage of fate.

Traveler, what's wrong with the rebellion? Although the sky of the mysterious world is more difficult to reverse......

After expressing the ideal, return to reality.

On this trip, Joyce has basically summed up the rules of the "instigator" and digested some of the potions.

It's a pity that he can't wait until he has fully digested it to come back, after all, Major General Bright has been gone for many days, and there is no reason for him to continue to disappear.

In addition, there are a lot of gains from this trip to sea, which needs to be dealt with...... As for the problem of provoking the "Lieutenant General of Twilight", he was not too worried, after all, only Alger and the two knew the inside story, and there was no risk of leakage.

The next goal, the remaining part of the "Instigator" potion needs to be digested as soon as possible, and at the same time, the other main ingredient of Sequence 7, "Agate Peacock Egg", must be collected.

Mr. Hunter was at the Leaf Tree Bar, Sophia was at the Scales, and Joyce was looking forward to when the Life School reunion would take place again...... Go make an appointment with Charlie tomorrow, he should know something.

…………

Because of his burden, Monsieur Hunter returned to Rose Manor yesterday, and the servants of the house breathed a sigh of relief, and the return of Monsieur Baron, the whole villa was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Joyce threw away the burden of his thoughts, was infected by the atmosphere, drank two glasses, and finished his bath very early, and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

…………

That night, the moon was dark.

When it was quiet, a man dressed in a black nightcoat and wearing an oval smiley mask quietly arrived on Stonen Street.

He pulled out a spoon-like object and sprinkled it with some unknown liquid.

After three seconds, the "spoon" began to shimmer and was bronze-colored, and then slowly turned in the man's hand, and finally fixed in one direction, which was 14 Storm Street.

The man was overjoyed, this was not his first attempt, but the first few times he pointed to the sea, there was no way to find it...... Until today, he finally saw hope.

The inhabitants of this street are all Runnes with status, especially after the assassination storm some time ago, and the families have stepped up their defenses.

Carefully dodging the police and guards patrolling at night, the man finally approached his destination.

This is a garden villa with a lot of value, although I am not poor, but I basically have no opportunity to afford it...... The man sneered inwardly and lightly crossed the wall.

The guards inside the villa are tighter, and the configuration is very reasonable, and there are basically no dead ends...... After all, this was personally arranged by Mr. Hunter, a veteran soldier and hunter of extraordinary paths.

The man made careful calculations in his mind to find a path that was in the blind spot of the guards.

He moves quickly, moves lightly, and the whole person is like a machine.

One step here, the next second hiding behind the goalpost, and even lying on the grass in order to avoid cross-sightedness......

After a silent struggle, the man passed through the layers of defense and walked into the villa.

He took out the "spoon" and, according to its instructions, went outside Joyce's bedroom on the third floor, without alerting any of the sleeping servants.

The man took out a gold coin again, and his thumb flicked up, and the gold coin kept flipping in the air, and finally fell back into the palm of his hand, face up.

He gently pushed the door open, and the precise control made the whole process silent.

Walking into the bedroom, it was empty, and the man was a little surprised, but thinking of the results of his divination, there was no danger...... Moreover, he had already seen what he had been looking for, and it was sitting on the desk by the window.

Like a catwalk, he quietly walked to the desk and picked up the quaint, seemingly broken compass, and the man's heart was inevitably filled with joy.

At this moment, a round hard object suddenly appeared on the back of his head, which was the cold muzzle of the gun.

At the same time, a joking voice came from behind him:

"You snuck in just to steal such a useless thing!"
