Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

The raven flapped its wings and opened its head, showing Tia a mess of brain matter.

Of course, the brain matter was definitely fake, as spirit creatures lacked physical bodies and their images were all illusory. But Tia still found it a bit disgusting and told the ravens to stop.

It’s said that the ravens also have quite a few complaints about Tia.

I was staying in Laurel Forest peacefully, but ended up being beaten into an idiot by Tia who locked the door and beat the dog.

Although there wasn't much wine to drink in the deep sea before, I haven't seemed to drink much more since coming to the material world!

That is to say, the Shrike's united front value is relatively high, and Tia treats him well. Otherwise, "How can Sugar Raven be depressed and inferior to others for a long time?" and run to the church to accuse a certain unscrupulous witch of exploiting the spiritual life.

Tia thought about it and felt that this was not a good idea, so she promised: "I know that you don't want to exert any strength after being captured by me. But this matter is very important to me. After Shrike and the others return, I will provide each of your ravens with an unlimited supply of wine."

Upon hearing about the unlimited supply, the ravens suddenly shuddered—

Be in good spirits!

Feel refreshed!

Why didn't you tell me about this good news earlier?!

What about Silver Claw Shrike, St. Vincent, Church, Holy Seal, what are you talking about?

Now Tia Sulph is the only sun in Laurel Forest!

"Aqiu! Aqiu!"

In the corner of the cabin, a large silver-white raven sneezed several times, then looked at the man and the dog with horror and shrank into the corner.

Holly drooled at the plump raven and asked, "Dog, do crows sneeze?"

The big dog hesitated and said, "It's hard to say. After all, it's a spiritual creature and can do anything."

"Holly, you drooled on the floor."

"What a big fat chicken with a pointed beak..."

Holly hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more greedy she became.

The big dog was too embarrassed to watch and quickly reminded: "That's a spiritual creature! It has no flesh!"

"Hello Ouroboros! How can someone still think of eating spiritual creatures?"

The shrike was even more frightened. It just wanted to drink a few sips of the wine in the cabin - that was not a good wine, it was even a little spoiled, and was used as water on the boat.

With two Sequence 7s, he should be able to come and go freely.

As soon as he got on the boat, he was grabbed by the dog. He looked up and saw Holly holding a knife and trying to eat the chicken. What could he do?!

I couldn't hit him, and if he pecked me to death, all the reward from Tia would be gone.

　QiPIIShaanZCage Master镹妮3IV ran a few times and was photographed by this dog again.

Especially when he saw the two horns on the dog's head, Shrike felt that something was wrong. He vaguely remembered that this thing looked like the double horns of the giant wolf on the totem of the Great Icefield Clan.

Of course, this dog is definitely not a god believed in on the ice sheet.

Because the deity named Fenrir didn't exist, not even in the deep sea. It was a mythical creature artificially created by the barbarians of the Great Icefield Clan, specifically bred on the Great Icefield to be slaughtered for extraordinary materials and then exported to the countries of the continent.

To put it simply, it's a powerful meat dog with some extraordinary characteristics...

Different clans have different main products, which have been exported in large quantities to all parts of the continent since before the time of Solomon. In order to facilitate the sale of products, they simply abandoned their original totems and used these high-economic-value farmed animals as totems, just like well-known trademarks.

However, starting from the Year of the Saint, the ascension ceremony greatly simplified the process of acquiring power, and cheap substitutes for various extraordinary materials also emerged like mushrooms after rain.

The barbarian breeders of the Great Icefield Clan, whose industries were highly concentrated, unsurprisingly went bankrupt.

Those mythical creatures with all kinds of magical powers also disappeared.

But that was seven or eight hundred years ago, and the related biotechnology and extraordinary skills were also discontinued with the decline and collapse of the Great Icefield Clan.

The dog's body was obviously created not many years ago.

As Shrike looked at the increasingly chaotic world, Crow felt a terrible headache.

Where is this? Is this still the prosperous year of 535 in the Holy Calendar?!

Volume 1: Chapter 162: No Title

On the transport ship carrying Holly, Marn and their group.

In the captain's cabin, Captain Sotai was smoking his last cigarette in despair. He had been sailing for the city defense forces, but now he had become a traitor...

The only thing to be thankful for is that he is not an Iris person at all. Because of his faith in the church, his parents and wife moved to the religious country overnight during the civil war to live there permanently. He does not have to worry about things like family breakdown and death.

He was driving the boat, and Maenkulen leisurely chatted with him for a few words over a cup of hot coffee.

As for this great inventor, Sotai thought he was a good person. Perhaps it was because the scam hadn't happened to him, but he was a very optimistic gentleman who often smiled and always wore his signature peacock feather hat.

I don't know where this hat came from. But people who know how to laugh always have good luck.

Captain Sotai said as they chatted, "The Cloud Valley is just ahead. If you're going to the Empire, it's best to disembark there. Do you see that mountain?"

There was a map spread out on the table, and Sotai pointed to the northeast of Misty Moon City, which was about 300 kilometers away.

Maen looked at the markings with great interest. "Is that White Hart Castle? The place where the Empire withdrew its troops?"

"Yes. White Hart Castle is built on the mountain. It was the territory of the Silver Mist Clan, who migrated from the Great Ice Field. They were the barbarians who followed King Lude into Iris hundreds of years ago. They are the current Silver Mist Rangers. You'd better disembark ahead and bypass the Cloud Valley to the Empire. Those rangers are very powerful. Even if you two and a dog are together, you will be easily discovered."

"Oh, that's no problem! Next to the Cloud Valley is the Misler Border County, and I have friends among the garrisons there!"

"That's quite good." The Captain shrugged. "Then I wish you a safe journey in the Empire."

"Ha! I'm so grateful for your words. Across the border from there is the Imperial port and the Hand of Transformation's fleet. I also have friends there. Do you want me to take you there?"

"Forget it. This ship is all I own, I can't lose it. I have to surrender myself to Mist Moon City."

Sotai said this calmly, and Maan patted him on the shoulder and handed him a note.

"What is this?"

"No. 29, South Cross Street, Cross Tower District, Misty Moon City. The barrister there is my friend."

"No, how many friends do you have?"

"It's hard to say!" Marn Cullen laughed and changed the subject. He turned around and saw Holly trotting hurriedly into the captain's room.

She also held two meat cleavers in her hands.

Seeing this, Ma Qi'er's heart skipped a beat.

"problem occurs?"

"Yes. There are several large ships on the river, with guns and large birds on them."

"I can understand the artillery position, but what do you mean by a big bird? Do you mean there is a group of falconers on the ironclad ship?" Marn looked shocked. Is your ship an eagle's nest?

"It's very big. I don't know them. There are a lot of other people, all with pointy ears."

"That's the Silvermist Clan. What is that giant bird you're talking about?"

"It's very big. It has wings, four legs, claws like a lion, and a tail like a snake."

Holly was a little nervous when she said this. After all, she was only thirteen years old and had never even been on a boat many times before.

Whenever she looked down from the deck, she would be so frightened that her legs would fail her.

Maan listened carefully and took a deep breath.

He asked why there was a big bird - it was a griffin that the Silver Mist Clan had stopped raising a long time ago!

.................

.................

"Hide the peanut quickly! Who let it onto the deck? Where's the Griffin Knight in charge?"

On the ironclad ship not far from the transport ship, Captain Guluo scolded a young clansman. His lieutenant beside him consoled him, "Sir, these griffins have only just been bred. Just like Peanut, he's only three months old, a child too. He's bound to be curious about the outside world."

"But this isn't Cloud Valley, it's on the river! We're out here to greet our allies, not just to walk around!

"Besides, we've finally managed to recreate ancient technology with the help of the Alchemy Society. We absolutely cannot let those Imperials know about it. Wait..."

Gu Luo saw an armored ship coming out of the light mist ahead and asked curiously, "Whose ship is that?"

The adjutant hurriedly asked the lookout to observe, and when he came back, he said, "It seems to be from Misty Moon City."

"Mist Moon City? The ally that Governor Lost wants us to pay attention to is also from Mist Moon City. They are going to send that Marn, Marn Cullen, right?"

Gu Luo said: "Raise the flag and make them stop for inspection. Let's also test whether they are allies."

"Okay, sir!"

The adjutant hurried to announce it.

In the distance, Marn Cullen and Holly were forced to stop the boat.

Captain Sauter finished his last cigarette.

The two sides met on the deck of the Silver Mist Clan's warship. The Silver Mist Rangers with long silver-gray hair, pointed ears and red eyes were carrying tactical backpacks, with sabers, bows and arrows, and large-caliber shotguns hanging on their backs. It was a mixture of classical and modern, but there was no sense of incongruity in their equipment.

　VII 哇=氵零斯] (九) ⑺ The Third Division, on the contrary, was even more oppressive due to their large physiques.

Maan⑶(IV) Ling⑺EmerIV Bachu·Cullen almost thought he was finished.

The result was unexpected. These Silver Mist Rangers simply checked them once and let them go directly. Captain Guluo with a scar on his face even wished him a safe journey!

Back on the boat, Maan felt baffled.

On the Silver Mist Clan's warship, Guluo said to his adjutant with emotion, "It's truly an ally's ship. Now Archon Lost should be relieved."

The adjutant asked with some concern, "Sir, is Governor Lost in good health? The Fog Moon City Council has been urging Governor Lost to reduce his military power. What if he is unable to do so..."

"Ha! Relax. We're still at war. Nophis, there's nothing to worry about. Don't you admire King Lude the most? King Lude is great. The reason Iris is in this state now is because King Lude's spirit has faded like ashes in a bonfire! I think you're a good candidate, and you might even be able to inherit the Archon's career."

"You're too kind." Adjutant Nophis blushed slightly and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, sir, do you know the girl on that boat?"

"girl?"

Gu Luo thought for a moment and shook his head. "Maybe she's a relative of that Maen? Nophis, why are you asking this? You can't have any improper thoughts about a little girl, right? You should at least find someone who's an adult."

"Of course not, sir! It's just that the dog around that kid has me a little concerned."

"Are you interested in dogs?" Gu Luo touched his beard, a little surprised.

"Not that one, sir! I mean, that dog looks familiar to me... Is that the giant wolf of Clan Fenrir?"

"Perhaps. Perhaps it's another Alchemy Society creation."

Nophis, a man of many books, had a vague impression of this. He was quite puzzled and asked, "But didn't the Fenrir clan die out long ago? Even if the Alchemy Society looked for the clan's legacy, they wouldn't be able to find it. How could Fenrir's giant wolf still exist?"

"This might be... Wait a minute, a telegram from White Hart Castle."

Guluo interrupted Nophis's doubts and hurried to get the telegram. After taking a closer look, he was stunned.

At first he thought it was a telegram about the change of defense from White Hart Castle, but after a closer look, it turned out to be a secret letter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Fog Moon City that was urgently forwarded by Governor Lost.

——Marn Cullen escaped from Hurkacz Prison and his whereabouts are now unknown.

Volume 1: Chapter 163 Why are you here? !

"Does this mean that Maen and the others have already escaped from the Iris territory?"

Tia received the news a day later, but it was still much faster than Silver Castle.

Tia feels that she is more suitable to be the Foreign Minister...

On the way home from the Newlon Port Defense Bureau, a spirit raven landed on Tia's shoulder and reported, "His Majesty the Shrike has arrived at the Empire! Witch-sama, do you have any other instructions?"

"Not yet. Let them continue with their original plan. Have Maan go find Ansu's accomplice in the Empire."

Ansu has spies in the Empire, but the political systems of the Empire and Ansu are quite different, so the spies are in a very awkward position in the Empire.

The Anzu order was a "fluid order." Classes, aristocrats, capitalists, commoners—all existed, but mobility between them was hindered, like the saying, "running water never stagnates." The imperial order, on the other hand, was a violent, "fixed order," with a highly rigid social structure.

If it were on Earth, Tia would find it hard to imagine how such an outrageous regime could survive the old farmer's sickle and shovel.

But this is a different world, and even the outrageous has its own humor.

The fundamental reason for the empire's high stability is that their emperors were all philosopher kings. Each emperor was like a king with the fog of war on, and his control over the country was even better than Tia playing some grand strategy games.
