At 14 Ston Street, Joyce met with Gattuso, who had returned from dealing with the scene.

He reported: "The sheriff named Dean brought all the gang members back to the police station, but the men were almost dead, even if some were still alive......

As a soldier, he had killed people and experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, but he had never seen a group of even unsound children go crazy to such an extent, and he didn't even want to think back to tonight's scene.

Because of this, my potions won't be digested so quickly...... Joyce closed his eyes, then asked:

"How are those children housed?"

Gattuso immediately replied: "Many children do not wish to be sent to welfare institutions, even if they are young and physically handicapped, and they even prefer to live on their own, so we have to place them in that small building for the time being, ready to be instructed by you, Monsieur Baron." ”

"Also, the little boy with the burn scar on his face wants to see you again."

Joyce looked up, "What does he want to see me for?" ”

Gattuso did not hesitate and spoke his judgment:

"The boy didn't say why, but I guess he wants you to take him in, and I can see that he is a promising soldier."

Thinking of the child's eyes, Joyce couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and said:

"If that's the case, then send him to the Rose Manor."

"As for the other children......" he sighed silently: "Let them go, if you want to go to the welfare institution, send them, and if you don't want to go, give them a little repatriation pay and let them go." ”

"Yes, Mr. Baron." Gattuso saluted and retired.

Joyce seemed a little stunned, he had obviously done a good deed, but he became even more helpless.

Let them go, their path has just begun.

The "Instigator" potion has been unexpectedly digested, and the materials for Sequence 7 "Witch" have been prepared and can be promoted at any time.

The extraordinary characteristics of "Hunter" and "Fortune Teller" can make Gattuso and Holker extraordinary at the same time, so that Joyce can leave Byam with peace of mind.

…………

The next day, after Joyce had breakfast, he called Harry and commanded:

"I'm going to have a dinner because I'm leaving Byam for Beckland, and it's supposed to be Friday."

What, leaving Byam, how can it be so sudden...... Harry was so stunned by this that he forgot to answer for a while, and only after coming back to his senses did he agree:

"No problem, Mr. Baron."

Next, the two agreed on a list of invites, and when it was over, Joyce went to the study.

As a baron, he can't leave Byam silently, he needs an exit ceremony, and a banquet can solve this problem perfectly.

In addition, it is also a signal.

With such a blatant banquet, I believe that Major General Bright, who is far away in Beckland, will definitely receive the news, and maybe he is waiting for me to throw himself into the net...... However, by that time, I had already become a "witch", and it was difficult to say who was in the light and who was in the dark......

Joyce would not let an enemy who wanted to kill him live arrogantly, because his strength and identity did not allow it, but once he became a "witch", he had nothing to fear.

"Knock knock", there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Joyce said he had made out it was Sophia's knock on the door, and that she used to knock three times while she was holding her coffee and then wait for a response.

Sure enough, the maid lady walked in softly and put the coffee on the right hand side of the desk, a little eager to speak.

"I'll take you with me this time to Beckland." Joyce whispered.

Without waiting for the maid lady to reply, he commanded, "Go and call Mr. Hunter with you, and I will announce something." ”

"Yes, Mr. Baron." Sophia answered sweetly, and then walked out of the study.

After a while, Hunter walked in, with Sophia.

Joyce put down the book in his hand, glanced back and forth, and then raised his right hand to point at Sophia:

"Introduction, the 'audience' of Sequence 9."

Then he turned to Mr. Hunter: "The 'arsonist' of Sequence 7." ”

The two looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise, as if they did not expect that the other was also extraordinary, but quickly accepted the fact again, because Joyce could not lie, and there must be a reason for the showdown at this moment.

Facing the gaze of the two, Joyce smiled and introduced himself:

"The 'Instigator' of Sequence 8 belongs to the Assassin path."

"But......" he said abruptly, "the Assassin's Path, which has an alternate name, is also called the Witch's Path. ”

Both of them frowned at the same time, Sophia was nothing, she had not been an extraordinary person for a long time, and she was not very knowledgeable...... But Hunter remembered what Joyce had said inadvertently two days before, and his eyes widened:

"Transsexual!"

Joyce sighed first, then sat upright, looked directly into the eyes of the two opposites, and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, the name of the potion in Sequence 7 of the Witch Path is 'Witch', and the extraordinary person who consumes the potion will become a woman."

In other words, the Baron in front of you will become a woman in the near future...... Joy was well aware of this fact.

Sophia covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming in shock, and Mr. Hunter had a complicated complexion, not knowing what he was thinking, and moved his mouth without making any sound.

"Wouldn't I call you Baron, then...... Miss ......"

Sophia said that it was rare for her to remember her identity as a maid at such a time.

Hunter's silence was finally broken when he asked:

"That's why you're leaving Byam?"

Joyce nodded, "Sort of." ”

"You can choose not to continue to be promoted, and you can revitalize the Best family on your own." Mr. Hunter said.

Joyce shook his head: "I have a reason why I have to be promoted. ”

Then, in a reassuring tone, he said, "Since there is a potion that will turn a man into a woman, there must also be a potion that will turn a woman into a man, and I will try to find it, and this is one of the tasks I have given you." ”

Allow plenty of time to react and think, Joyce said:

"After Friday's dinner, I'll leave Byam and take Sophia with me to Beckland, where my hopes lie for the future."

He looked directly at Mr. Hunter and said, "I need you to stay, go to sea to become an adventurer, with soldiers who are absolutely loyal to me, and try to find extraordinary materials to help them become extraordinary, preferably to form a team of extraordinary." ”

The tone that followed suddenly increased: "It's not a simple thing, but it has a great effect on me, even if I become a woman, this is the second task I gave you." ”

Finally, he added: "Regarding this secret, don't reveal it to anyone, I am just leaving Byam temporarily and will come back one day." ”

Mr. Hunter was silent for a long time, and finally promised him:

"Swear allegiance to Best."

With that, he stepped out of the study.

Sophia, on the other hand, did not have the complicated mental journey of Monsieur Hunter, she was only shocked by the fact that her beloved Monsieur Baron would become a woman, and had no other feelings.

"This time I went to Beckland, there will only be you and me, and your identity is still my personal maid." Joyce said.

Sophia nodded subconsciously, she was no longer the somewhat naïve little maid:

"I see, Baron......"

Joyce laughed, "Haha, let's call Miss after I'm promoted to Sequence Seven." ”
