There are many reasons to go to Beckland, which is the place where the plot is concentrated, where there are traces of the "Witch Cult", and there is a chance to get the potion recipe for Sequence 5...... As for Major General Bright, at best it is a passing, not very important.

More crucially, Joyce still can't forget that the three "Rose School" guys are looking for themselves after becoming "witches", and that name: "Serpent of Destiny", Will Unsetin...... He may have something to do with his own crossing, and Joyce could not afford to be careless and have to explore.

In the afternoon, he called Gattuso and Holke.

"I'm sure you've heard about it, I'll leave Byam in a short time. So, after you have become extraordinary, you need to take orders from Mr. Hunter to complete a difficult task. ”

"Swear allegiance to Monsieur Baron."

…………

With everything in order, Joyce thought the time would be smooth for the Friday dinner.

However, a sudden letter surprised him.

The letter was sent by Thomas.

The last time the two met and chatted, he said that he wanted to bring him a letter himself, and this was delivered...... Joyce was more curious about why he had brought it today instead of himself at the dinner tomorrow......

Besides, the size of the envelope was too large, and it was not even sealed.

Joyce flipped it over, shook it slightly, and sure enough, two normal-sized envelopes fell out, along with a blank piece of paper with Thomas's handwriting on them.

"I have prepared two letters, which one is more suitable, it is up to you to choose."

Joyce was getting more and more confused, what did this mean?

He picked up the two envelopes and found them unsealed, as if he was deliberately trying to let himself see the contents of the letters.

Open and read one of the letters, the content on it is normal, but it is not like a letter from home, but more like a letter of recommendation.

In the letter, Thomas introduced Joyce Best to his father, praised the latter, emphasized the close brotherly relationship between the two, and asked his father to take more care of Joyce.

Thomas's father was a noble viscount who was influential in Beckland and was able to help Joyce...... This is entirely out of affection between friends, and it is an act of mutual help.

However, when Joyce read the second letter, his face turned strange.

The thrust of the letter remains largely the same, but in the letter, Thomas introduces his parents to a "woman...... This "woman" is the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the Southern Continent, who accidentally meets Thomas and becomes good friends...... Now the "woman" wants to go to Beckland, and by the way, visit Thomas's parents......

Joyce put down the letter in his hand, and suddenly remembered the question Thomas had asked himself last time: "Assassin" or "audience"?

I didn't answer it directly...... Maybe it's a temptation......

After a long silence, Joyce put away all her letters.

…………

On Friday night, Joyce dressed up and mingled with invited guests.

At the end of the curtain, it is natural to be grand and widely publicized, so as to appear to have a clear conscience.

After a brief speech, the banquet began.

Joyce smiled at General Gordon's inquiry:

"Actually, you don't need to go to Beckland now, although there are many opportunities there, but they are just as dangerous, and if you step on the wrong step, you will be crushed."

"I understand." Joyce said, "But there is no escape, and my barony has not yet been canonized in the face of His Majesty!" ”

Gordon gave him a deep look and patted Joyce on the shoulder...... He was really optimistic about this young man, not only because of William, but because of Joyce's own abilities and means, but unfortunately the latter had his own ideas.

As the host of the banquet, Mr. Baron, who was about to leave Byam, Joyce endured similar problems one after another, all of which he dealt with with the same reason.

Finally seizing a gap time, he found Thomas drinking in the corner, and walked over.

"Why is it drinking here alone?" Joyce asked.

Thomas smiled: "Charlie was just chatting here, and he just left, but you were too popular to see it." ”

The two men touched a glass and smiled at each other, and Joyce continued:

"I've read all the letters you sent, but why are there two completely different letters, is it a mistake?"

Thomas didn't squint: "You can give me one back." ”

"Which one will I give you back?" Joyce continued.

"Whatever you want!" Thomas shrugged: "I'm just giving you a choice, whether you want to take advantage of this channel, or how to use it, that's your problem." ”

Then, he said: "One thing you can rest assured is that no matter what becomes of us in the future, we will always be friends." ”

Joyce was silent for a moment, then smiled, "Tomorrow I will send someone back to you a letter." ”

The two tacitly clinked glasses, and Charlie walked over.

"What are you talking about here?"

"Talking about Beckland, I'm lecturing him!" Thomas said.

Hearing this, Charlie looked at Joyce, who did not refute, and complained:

"Why do you have to go to Beckland, the air there is simply unbearable, and there is nothing good at all except for the prosperity of Bibaiam."

Joyce explained, "The capital of all things, the land of hope, should still be visited, and I have a reason why I have to go. ”

Charlie understood this, but he didn't want to part with his good brother, and he put his arm around the shoulders of the two:

"Well, then tonight, we're not going to get drunk."

Three extraordinary people, how easy is it to get drunk...... At the end of the feast, Joyce sent off the waves of guests, and finally, Thomas and Charlie also took their leave.

…………

The next day, Joyce woke up punctually.

"Send this letter to Thomas." He said to Harry, and then he commanded:

"You don't have to prepare the carriage, Sophia and I still have some things to deal with, and during the time I'm away, you can take full control of the affairs at home."

Harry bowed and replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Baron, I wish you a pleasant journey. ”

Joyce was carrying a large black suitcase, but there wasn't much in it, because he was about to become a "witch" and the men's clothes at home were useless......

The chests are filled with extraordinary materials and magical items that he has collected through different channels, and their value is quite beautiful.

I called a carriage and went to the dock area of Byam, where Mr. Hunter was waiting for the safe house that he had rented before.

"Then it's time to witness the miracle."

Joyce said, walking straight into the prepared improvised lab.

Leaving Hunter and Sophia behind, I don't know whether to look forward to it or be confused......
