Chapter 489 You Lied to Me, I Lied to You

On the second day after returning to Bayam, Louise was able to meet the long-lost Bernadette.

This woman, who is already over a hundred years old, only looks older than Louise. If you don't know the identities of the two, you may even think that they are a pair of sisters.

For the meeting place this time, Louise did not choose to be at home, but came to the woods outside the manor.

As a result, Bernadette descended from the sky riding a sika deer, her posture was too elegant.

Louise was envious for two seconds, then bowed and said:

"Meet the captain."

Bernadette lightly landed on the ground, waved her hand, and the deer behind her flew into the distance and disappeared.

After looking at Louise for a while, I found that this little "witch" has already been promoted to Sequence Five. This kind of promotion speed is almost comparable to that of the gods, which is unavoidably surprising.

Then, she deliberately said with emotion:

"Just after leaving the 'Witch Sect', you immediately asked for a change of sect. Your behavior makes me a little uneasy!"

When Louise heard the words, she immediately refuted, and said righteously:

"If I hadn't been accidentally discovered by the demigods of the 'Witch Sect', I wouldn't have joined them! Now that I have managed to escape from the 'Witch Sect', I am honored to join your subordinates. This is my dream all along!"

"Besides," she murmured again, "You obviously invited me on your own initiative."

Bernadette was a little dumbfounded. The "witch" in front of her sometimes acted very mysteriously, chatting with her like an existence of the same level, and sometimes she played a rascal like a junior. It was really elusive.

Originally it was just a casual invitation, and the purpose was to establish contact with that mysterious "Fool" through Louise, but who knew that she was even more proactive than myself!

"Forget it, since that's the case, I won't break my promise." She chuckled and said, accepting Louise's joining in person, and then asked:

"However, I'm curious about one thing. Why did you leave the 'Witch Sect' so quickly? And how did you leave?"

Louise pondered for a moment. Naturally, she couldn't admit that the "Original Witch" had opinions on her, so she couldn't get along in the "Witch" circle. So, she put on a slightly heavy expression and said:

"I also participated in the Great Smog Incident in Backlund, but I chose to betray at the last moment, so I had no choice but to leave the 'Witch Sect'."

Does this guy have that much sense of justice? Bernadette expressed doubts about this, she then asked:

"Since you have experienced it yourself, let's tell the truth about the great smog in Backlund. I'm curious."

This is the right person to ask. Louise showed a confident smile and talked about the official investigation results, but none of the secrets behind the incident were mentioned.

Bernadette frowned. Although this crisis caused tens of thousands of casualties, it seemed a bit too simple, and it was somewhat different from the prediction she made before.

However, this is just the opinion of Louise's family. At that time, she was only a Sequence Six, and she might not have been exposed to the whole picture of this incident. Thinking of this, Bernadette stopped entangled for the time being, and turned to talk about what she cared about most. One thing:

"You got the answer from The Fool."

Louise nodded, stretched out her right index finger, released several strands of silk thread, outlined the two Chinese characters "hometown" in mid-air, and then explained:

"Mr. Fool said that these two words mean hometown and the sustenance of the soul."

After getting this answer, Bernadette fell into a brief silence.

These are the only two Chinese characters Roselle taught her. Naturally, Bernadette imagined countless answers, but she never thought that the meaning of these two characters would be "hometown".

What is Russell missing? Isn't his hometown Intis?

I remember the last time we met, Louise mentioned that Mister Fool and Roselle came from the same place, could it be this so-called hometown?

Soon, Bernadette came back to her senses, and asked in a slightly low voice:

"What was the tone of Mister Fool's answer to this question?"

Uh, "The Fool" didn't answer at all. This is the answer I, the "middleman", gave you. Louise didn't expect Bernadette to ask this question. She quickly thought about it in her head, and quickly replied:

"I don't dare to speculate on the deep meaning of Mister Fool, but when he said these words, there seemed to be some emotional fluctuations?"

"Of course, this is probably just my illusion." She added at the end.

After finishing speaking, Louise looked up and carefully observed Bernadette's reaction, the latter seemed to be touched

However, in the next second, the corners of Bernadette's mouth curled up, with a smug expression between her brows and eyes, she said with a slight smile:

"You are indeed the favored one of the 'Fool', and you are also the favored one who can easily get a response."

Ah, this, you lied to me!

Louise's eyes widened, fully showing her shock, but she was quickly defeated by Bernadette's half-smile gaze, and admitted helplessly:

"Well, you're right."

Bernadette continued to ask: "So, the mysterious person who took the 'Dark Emperor' card from me, couldn't it be you?"

"Of course not!" Louise immediately denied, "'Dark Emperor' he"

Halfway through the speech, it stopped abruptly. Louise even covered her mouth exaggeratedly, staring in shock at Bernadette who seemed a little disappointed in front of her, and asked loudly:

"Do you know what you are doing? This is testing a god!"

Bernadette corrected with a relaxed look:

"No, I'm just chatting with you, a god-favored one, and I don't mean any disrespect to the 'fool'."

Louise put her hands down, took a serious look at the other party, as if warning, and then responded:

"hope so."

Unfortunately, at this moment, the thoughts in Louise's heart are quite different from what she said.

She was not that stupid, although the first sentence was indeed bypassed by Bernadette, forcing herself to admit her identity as the favored "fool", but the latter slip of the tongue was completely intentional.

I believe that after today, there is a high probability that Bernadette will doubt whether he joined her organization so actively because of the "fool"'s instruction?

Louise secretly praised her wit. She successfully turned passive into active in a few words, and by the way, brought Bernadette into the army. It feels very fulfilling!

After the silence, Bernadette stared at Louise, her pupils suddenly became dark and deep, and said at the same time:

"One more question, when did you become Mister Fool's benefactor?"
