Chapter 317: The Old Man Thomas Visits
The world is impermanent, although these four words are short, but they are very wonderful, and they exhaust the development law of everything in the world.
Since coming to Beckland, Louise's experience has been smooth, not only did she quickly digest the "witch's" potion and was successfully promoted to the "Witch of Pleasure" in Sequence 6, but she also exchanged an extraordinary material that was basically useless to herself for the potion recipe of "The Witch of Pain" in Sequence 5...... It's just that there is a lack of rituals to assist in promotion.
In addition, she has also actively or passively met many elders, and has a small and unclear guess about the reason for her crossing, but at the very least, she is gradually getting closer to the truth behind the scenes...... Even every time she was scared to the core.
On the whole, Louise is on the path of light, though it is not known if anyone is quietly taking the path to it......
So, has she ever experienced something that was embarrassing, even overwhelming, and she didn't know how to deal with it?
Answer: Naturally, there is.
…………
"You mean, Thomas is here?"
Louise had no intention of enjoying a leisurely time anymore, and her hand was slammed on the desk with a "bang", and she couldn't help frowning, her eyes widened, and she looked directly at the maid in front of her, looking incredulous.
Sophia was also embarrassed, but she still nodded and said:
"Yes, Mr. Thomas is sitting in the reception room waiting for you right now."
Louise leaned back in the chair behind her, massaging her temples with her right hand, slowly stretching her furrowed brow.
"How did Thomas come to Beckland?" She asked herself in her mind.
But the next second, she replied herself:
"Hehe, Thomas has lived in Beckland for more than twenty years, and was only transferred to Byam after joining MI9, so it's normal to go home now......"
But now he's coming to visit me...... Louise closed her eyes slightly, thoughts racing in her head, and finally sighed silently.
If at the beginning of the crossing, Louise was forced to take the path of "witch", and went through a painful transformation process, but today, she has slowly accepted this...... Or rather forced to accept.
Because remembering that he is a man, but enjoying the pleasure and pain brought by a woman, this is the distorted law of the "witch" approach.
There are very few people who know about Louise as a "witch".
The maid lady and the housekeeper Hunter, who is currently at sea, are naturally insiders...... Crane must have known, but he was only guessing, unable to determine whether Louise had ever been a man or a woman......
And the last person to know the inside story is Thomas.
During the Byam period, Louise was in a difficult situation, and at that time he only had two friends, Thomas and Charlie.
Charlie is an optimist, joined the "School of Life" and became a "pharmacist", he only knows that his good friend "Joe Yins" has left Byam, but he does not know where he went.

But Thomas is different, he is a major in MI9, and he is a very smart man, so clever that by looking at the eucalyptus sect and some inconspicuous clues, he deduces that "Joyins" has taken the "witch" path.
What's more, instead of choosing to debunk, he took the initiative to provide a letter of introduction, which served as a stepping stone to help Louise blend into the upper aristocracy of Beckland.
And that's exactly what Louise did.
She used Thomas's status as a good friend to visit his parents, the Viscounts Conse, and met Audrey through a ball, and then naturally established herself in Beckland.
To get to the bottom of it, the source of all that Louise ran in Beckland was the letter that Thomas provided.
Of course, even without that letter, she might have been able to get to where she is today...... But this assumption makes no sense at all.
All in all, Thomas knew what he looked like when he was a man, he knew that he had become a "witch", and today, he came to visit him...... After some intense brainstorming, Louise opened her eyes, looked at the maid who was standing in place, a little at a loss, smiled reluctantly, got up and said:
"Then let's go, it's rude not to keep guests waiting too long."
The maid lady was obviously surprised, and even let out a soft "ah" before reacting:
"Good...... Good. ”
…………
In the drawing room, Louise meets the long-lost Thomas, who has barely changed and is still young and handsome, but he looks a little reserved.
"Long time no see, Joe...... Miss Louise. Thomas hurriedly got up and took the lead in greeting.
Then, with a self-deprecating wry laugh, he said:
"I've reminded myself many times in my heart, but I'm still almost wrong."
As for the reason for the loss of consciousness, probably Thomas didn't expect that the former "Joyins" would become what it is now......
It seems that it is not only me, but he is also embarrassed...... Louise smiled and replied softly, "It's been a long time, but I understand your feelings. ”
If there were outsiders who didn't know the inside story, they would probably be confused by the conversation between the two, but the maid was the one who knew it, and she hurriedly brought two cups of coffee, and then quickly exited the room, leaving the two "old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time" plenty of space to exchange pleasantries.
However, neither of them knew what to say, so they had to hold up their coffee, take a slow sip, and then put it back on the table, moving in unison.
Then, the two looked at each other, and both smiled.
Maybe it was this smile that dissolved the estrangement between the two, and the two of them wanted to speak at the same time as they were very tacit, but they bumped into each other again, and then they each took the conversation back.
Louise's smile widened, and she spoke:
"It seems to be back in Byam, when the three of us were drinking and chatting together."
Thomas nodded in agreement and said:
"At that time, we were really happy."
It's just that now it seems like there's no going back...... He silently added in his heart.
"What is Charlie doing, and is his father still asking him to help with Byam's affairs?" Louise asked after two seconds of silence.
Thomas smiled and replied, "No, Charlie has successfully 'graduated'." ”
"He's still that optimistic personality, but he's matured a lot...... By the way, he would occasionally complain to me, saying that you didn't say goodbye and didn't even send back a message, and the next time we meet again, I must punish you for getting drunk......"
