Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

She thought it was a pen...

Hearing this, Scarlett, whose face was full of dullness, came back to her senses. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, then shouted at the door: "Hello! I am a police officer from the Grand Police Department sent by Ms. Bernice to protect you!"

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps and Tia came over to open the door.

Scarlett was stunned for a moment when she saw the familiar face, and asked in surprise, "Ms. Funina, why are you here?!"

Finina was also surprised for a moment and said, "Scarlett, I should be the one saying this! I followed Eleanor to Iris. I told you at the time that I would reach Iris."

"Yes, is that so?" Scarlett's face turned red.

She was completely distracted by the sudden arrival of Miss Funina. She didn't remember what she said at the time. She thought: Miss Funina is so elusive, she will definitely come to me when she needs me, so it doesn't matter whether I remember it or not.

Unexpectedly, the truth was revealed.

Finina said, "I arrived a few days ago and stayed on the street for a long time. I even saw your colleague, Scarlett, when we caught the thief..."

"Ah! So Miss Fernina is the fool who gave money to the scammer..."

Scarlett's voice stopped abruptly, and she said weakly: "The report in the newspaper was in black and white, I didn't recognize it..."

This is indeed the case. Although film technology had developed to color film, the newspaper that reported on the little fool Funina was a small newspaper and could not afford to use color film.

Finina said helplessly, "But now, I'll forgive you. Scarlett, what do you do here?"

Eleanor's voice came from behind.

"Oh. The lady made an appointment for me to meet the president who lives on Tower Street."

It turned out to be about Eleanor's curse. Tia thought about it and didn't say she wanted to follow.

Tower Street is the core area of ​​the Alchemy Society, and the person Eleanor wants to meet is the "President" whose name has been erased from history. If Tia takes the initiative to approach him, she might be exposed.

After telling Eleanor to be careful, Tia went to finish writing the letter and asked Raven to take it with her.

The raven spoke in a human voice, "My Lady Witch, the big dog asked me to bring you a message. I want to ask you how Holly's commission is going."

"It's a commission. We've already done some research on the situation. But he's a big shot. With my current status, I can't take the initiative, and it's also difficult to kill him. But don't worry, someone will deal with the Archon."

Holly's commission was to ask Tia to collect a debt from the governor of Misty Moon City, Casco Durant, on her behalf, and to repay blood with blood.

But Tia, or rather Finina, couldn't take the initiative in this matter.

Take a look at the rituals on Funina - "Loud Speech", "Charm Humans", "Illusory Aura", "Be Kind to Others", "Hidden by Day and Active at Night", "Enhanced Intuition", "Water Spirit", "High-Speed ​​Casting", "Quick Absorption", "Liquid Camouflage", "Explosion Protection", and "Quick Healing".

None of them are aggressive...

She felt she was more suited to a beer hall than to a council chamber...

So Tia handed this task over to someone more skilled at it. As for her current job, her main task was to continue scouting the area and gathering intelligence.

She got some amazing stuff in Wuyue City these days.

——The same resurrection potion as used in the New York poisoning case.

This thing was obtained from a black market dealer who was exchanging currency at the tavern, so Tia was planning to go to the tavern again. She simply adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror.

The floor-length mirror crackled a few times and shattered into countless pieces. Two streams of light were jumping in the mirror.

The two elves, Brana and Freya, leaped among the debris and praised with joy, "My Lady Witch, your new body is as brilliant as you are, like the moon and the sun! May those who love you appear like stars, shining brightly!"

Brianna exclaimed, "Because the radiant coals on you are on fire!"

Freya clapped her hands and said, "As bright as the morning light, beautiful as the moon, and clear as the sun. Ouroboros says: You are all-encompassing, full of wisdom, and utterly lovely!"

“So noisy…”

The two chattering elves stopped talking and just giggled. They jumped in the mirror while laughing, and the two elves danced hand in hand.

As if a bird returns to the forest, or a fish returns to the water, they are liberated. Suddenly they jump out of the mirror, hold each other's hands, bow respectfully, and perform morning greetings to Funina.

Ever since they were imprisoned in the Hanging Temple and the Laurel Forest by Tia, they have never come to the material world again.

Both of them are not pure spiritual creatures, but transformed spirits, and their desire for the material world is even greater than that of spiritual creatures.

Branna asked, "Have you come to this unclaimed land to destroy this country, to drown the earth with waves, like the master of the ocean? Or to rule the kingdom on the other side, to wear a heavy crown, and to walk the path of a king?"

Tia reached out and helped the two elves stand up. "No, neither of them. Who would stir up waves and play in the sea of ​​dung? Who would embark on this road to hell? I'm just here to do something very simple. Help my trading partner complete a commission."

"Ah! My Lord, you are right. Who is your target?"

"The governor of this city—Casco Durant."

Branna bowed and said, "I will help you complete your commission."

Freya was even more playful, chirping, "Lord! Are you sure you won't dance and show off your talents in this turbulent kingdom? Perhaps you can take this opportunity to spread the name of the Sleeping Witch throughout the continent!"

"I have absolutely no such talent."

Tia refused decisively.

"Okay..." Freya laughed again, "But I think you are a good person. Maybe this country really needs a good person?"

Tia put her hands on her hips, her ahoge twitching, and retorted, "Freya, if you want, you can become the king of the entire country."

"I think the Iris people wouldn't mind a transformed spirit becoming king."

Freya blinked and said happily, "Are you saying I'm a good person too?! This is truly the highest compliment! I actually look like a human being!"

Branna complained, "Ah! Freya, when did you have such extravagant expectations? You're only slightly more human than the councilors in Silver Castle, but you're still far from being a human. Not to mention a good person!"

"I'm sorry, my lord. Freya has overstepped her bounds!"

"this is nothing."

Tia didn't mind this and waved her hand, saying, "Anyway, this task will be handed over to you. Although this city is like a cesspool, I still hope that everyone will not dance in it, let alone stir up huge waves mixed with excrement. If you dance, you will eat it, and if you stir up waves, others will eat it. Let's hurry here and leave in a hurry."

"Okay, I'm going to the tavern. I'll give you a week, and you can move freely."

After saying that, Tia gave the two elves a brief period of freedom.

Branna and Freya, as if reborn, bent down again, jumped into the mirror, and followed the light out of the hotel building.

Tia's eyes also turned away from here, looking towards the destination in the distance. But when she stood on the balcony and glanced down, she happened to see Pastor Matthew hurriedly walking down the street.

Volume 1: Chapter 172 The Name of Phonina Bonaparte

As Tia went downstairs and left the hotel, she ran into Pastor Hake at the hotel door. He was wearing a white priest robe and holding a small cross in his hand.

Before, his brown-yellow casual clothes looked like Daliyuan soft bread, but now he looked like milk white bread, running on the road, sweating profusely. Seeing Fu Nina coming out of the hotel, he didn't even bother to rest and quickly stopped her.

"Ms. Bonaparte, have you seen Matthew? God, he is so unlucky! Now he has encountered this kind of thing. I am really afraid that he will be upset!"

Huck said it almost in one breath, and Funina didn't understand what was going on at all.

She asked in confusion, "Mr. Harker, what on earth are you talking about? Don't get excited, what happened to Pastor Matthew?"

"Sorry, sorry. It's Matthew's mother, Mrs. Hudson, who fainted again and has just been taken to the hospital. The old lady is already very old, and it's hard to say whether she can survive this fainting. I want to try to have him go to the city hall to beg for mercy from the governor."

Finina looked at Reverend Hake, who was speaking incoherently due to excitement, and still didn't understand. "According to what you said, Reverend Matthew should seek help from a doctor, or he could ask a bishop to try the Holy Grail ritual. But I don't think the Archon has the ability to bring the dead back to life, right?"

"Or you could try to worship some drunken crows, snakes wrapped around wood, or a sleep witch in the deep sea. I think it would be more effective than praying to an archon."

Huck was sweating with anxiety, and only after being reminded by Tia did he react and explained:

"You're talking about the laurel forest, the plague fort, and the upside-down, rebellious witch, right? Don't be ridiculous. It's my fault, too. The old lady isn't suffering from a physical illness, but a spiritual tragedy. Matthew's sister, Daisy, is being prosecuted for photographing confidential government documents and will soon go to court. Even a senior pastor like Matthew is helpless in the face of such a situation.

"If he can't get through this difficult time, I'm afraid Matthew will lose two relatives at once."

After Huck said this, Furninna finally remembered what happened.

When I met Pastor Matthew before, he mentioned that his sister Daisy had received a commission from the newspaper to go to the executive meeting at the city hall to take on-site photos and write a report.

But what kind of "secrets" could be involved in such an open meeting?

She didn't think much of it, but seeing that the direction Matthew left was the same as the tavern, she went with Huck.

I happened to meet Matthew on the way.

At this time, he was in a street police station. Officer Iris allowed him to visit his sister Daisy, but he had to inform his superiors.

Matthew was extremely worried while waiting outside the police station, his brows twisted into a mess. He paced anxiously and restlessly at the door of the police station, pinching the corner of his clothes with his fingers and pressing and releasing them. From a distance, Finina could see that his back was completely wet.

The moment he saw Huck and Funina, Matthew couldn't hold back his tears and said, "Huck, Miss Bonaparte. This time, the sky is really falling!"

Finina took two steps back, then stepped forward to support him. "Please rest for a moment and speak slowly."

"Okay, okay. Daisy was truly wronged. She was commissioned by the newspaper to take photos at the executive meeting. Her application for filming was also approved, but who knew that Governor Durant would actually sue her! And he even sued her for the death penalty! She's only fifteen years old. She's not even an adult in Ansu's time and needs to go to school!"

Matthew took out the newspaper's commission letter and the newspaper fragment containing Daisy's report with trembling hands. This newspaper was forcibly stopped by the city hall after being published for only half a day, and all of it was collected and destroyed. Matthew's copy was saved because the newspaper was sent to his home before publication.

The thin pastor showed the two men a few scraps of newspaper and cried bitterly, "It's all because of these few little pieces of paper!"

Finina took a look at the photos. One of them was a picture of Governor Durant and a foreigner after the executive meeting. She asked in surprise, "Why is it this?"

Huck also went forward to look carefully, but did not understand.

The person standing with Durant in this photo is an Arab with deep eyes, a hooked nose, and a book in his arms.

On the cover of the book is something similar to a ritual, with twists and turns.

But Funina recognized it at a glance - this ritual was exactly the same as the ritual that Anne had leaked from the underground society "Holy Whirling Dance" at Saint Laurent University.

Then he looked at the few lines of report text below the photo.

The content was probably about a merchant from the Tianfang Empire or the president of a certain chamber of commerce providing political donations to Governor Durant.

"What a coincidence..."

There are rituals and magic potions...

Finina looked up and said, "Reverend Sir, Daisy is Yueyi③⑷0 instrument栮er⑷⍌ What crime did she commit?"

Matthew strained his nerves, saying, "It's treason. The City Hall accused her of illegally photographing the executive meeting, specifically without the consent of the officials present. They accuse her of taking such action at such a critical moment, possibly at the behest of foreign forces... But she does have a certificate of approval from the newspaper for her filming permit."

"My Seven Gods, what kind of crime is this? I feel like this City Hall is a foreign power."

Hake was shocked. "According to what they said, there is nothing in the world that is not a foreign force, and we are also a foreign force."

"We really are." Funina added suddenly.

Huck smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

"This charge is completely unreasonable. I've seen clearly that Daisy may have taken some incredible photos. Even if it wasn't published in the newspaper, the City Hall wants to silence her."

Matthew choked with sobs, his broken voice already tinged with self-destructive tendencies. "Huck, Miss Bonaparte, I'm really at my wit's end... If, if Daisy really were to be sent to the guillotine, my mother would be completely ill. I'm really going to go to Tower Street with dynamite and blow up all those insects!"

"Don't be impulsive, Matthew!" Huck exclaimed. "It's useless for you to hold onto explosives. Those are all extraordinary beings. Listen, we are from the church. We are the best at this. We can directly call those evil gods up. Just like Miss Bonaparte said, those greedy crows, the twin snakes that coil around the wood, and, and... "

Finina said, "The Sleeping Witch of R'lyeh."

"Ah! Yes, the Sleeping Witch, the one who drove away the Silver Claw of the Laurel Forest."

Matthew couldn't listen and covered his face with his hands and cried silently.

Finina considered and said, "But I can certainly help with this matter, Reverend."

"You can come and help! Seven Gods, this is not a good matter to get involved in. I think you need to be cautious."

Huck reminded gently.

But Tia was really interested in this matter, not only because it involved Casco Durant, but also the ritual.

If it was a coincidence that the potion involving resurrection and the rituals of the Eastern Order appeared in Anzu at the same time, then the fact that they also appeared in Iris at the same time was something very interesting.

Ansu was her base, and Tia was about to be promoted to Sequence 7. She didn't want Ansu to cause any more trouble like the Twin Serpents Cult.

The short girl patted Matthew's shoulder. When Matthew looked up, the rising sun broke through the white fog of Misty Moon City and sprinkled sparse holy light beside Finina.

Finina, or Tia Sulph, her voice seemed to come from the sky.

"I assure you that everyone will be safe. Although the situation happened by chance, out of duty and justice, I will provide a full defense for Daisy. Please tell Iris and the consuls that Funina Bonaparte is coming!"

Volume 1: Chapter 173: Going to the Stage

As soon as he arrived at the police station, a police officer came to inform Matthew that he could visit the prison.

But when Matthew heard the visiting time, he couldn't stand it and said, "Officer, didn't you say before that visiting could be fifteen minutes? Why is it changed to five minutes now?"

The police officer scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Reverend, I would also like to grant you fifteen minutes, but..."

"There's nothing to worry about! That brat is likely bribed by foreigners. Are you letting a foreign pastor like you in to chat for fifteen minutes and leak more information about Iris's mother?"
