Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

She didn't dare to confirm that the person in the nightmare was Miss Anne, but it didn't matter. The answer should be revealed soon - she could ask Miss Anne directly.

When she was brought to the garden by the servant, she saw a beautiful little blonde girl in a gardener's uniform covered in dirt happily cutting branches in front of the flower bed. She turned around when she heard footsteps behind her and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve.

Evelyn, the head maid, held a handkerchief and said helplessly, "You should be more respectful and at least pay a little attention in front of the guests..."

“Sister Evelin! This is at home, let’s not talk about so many rules, okay?”

Anne hugged Evelyn's arm and acted coquettishly.

When she noticed the policewoman's blue and white uniform, she withdrew her hand and said politely, "Are you here to see Dad? Dad just went to the congressman's campaign salon and won't be back until tonight."

"Uh...1761329..."

Seeing Anne's reaction, Scarlett was suddenly at a loss.

This doesn't look like he attended the ceremony last night at all?!

Or is Miss Anne pretending?

Scarlett said, "Actually, Director Roman heard that Anne's birthday is coming up, so he asked me to give her a gift..."

"Besides, Miss Anne, could we please come a little closer and talk?"

Evelin immediately looked at Anne and said, “I need to ask the young lady’s opinion on this.”

Anne responded cheerfully, "Since Uncle Roman has sent you here, please come to the tea room to discuss this."

Evelyn nodded and took Scarlett to a tea room in the side hall.

Although it is called a tea room, it is actually surprisingly large, much larger than Scarlett's living room. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow sunlight to shine in, providing good lighting.

To be honest, Scarlett felt a little uneasy sitting here.

On the other side, Anne was forced by Evelyn to change her clothes, and after entering the tea room, she asked Evelyn to close the door.

"Please... go ahead, Miss Scarlett. What's going on?"

"I want to ask, did you perform the ceremony last night? I mean the promotion ceremony."

Upon hearing this question, Anne's eyes widened, and she put down the teacup in her hand. She said in surprise, "I went to a banquet with my mother last night. Are you saying that you saw someone who behaved like me at the ceremony?"

Extraordinary knowledge is very secretive, but that is for ordinary people. For nobles with family inheritance, some introductory knowledge is not so mysterious. Many nobles even have rituals passed down from generation to generation.

Scarlett said: "To be precise, it's not similar to you, but it directly uses your name..."

"This is immoral! How can this be possible?"

Anne immediately became angry and said, "If it was a masquerade, it would be fine, but for this kind of taboo ritual, using someone else's name will make the owner of the name a target! Miss Scarlett, please make sure to catch this abominable villain, otherwise he will definitely use someone else's name next time.

"I'm not afraid of being targeted. It's not because I'm brave, but because my family background and identity provide me with shelter. But there are many more people who don't have the same conditions as me, and they will fall into danger!"

Scarlett said embarrassedly: "Actually, we have already caught the culprit..."

"Who is it? We must fine him and let him know he can't do this again!"

"Uh...it's Miss Tia Sulph."

"Eeeeeeeee!!!"

Volume 1: Chapter 34: Anne also wants to become a transcendent

"Wait a minute! Please give me some time... Are you saying that Tia-san has entered a nightmare and used my name?"

"That's it.... Liu Yiqi Yier's father {Si Si Xia Q, un..."

Anne had long anticipated that Tia would hold an extraordinary ceremony.

Someone like classmate Tia, who wiped out the cult's stronghold in one breath, looks like a powerful figure in novels who possesses great power but hides in an ordinary life. She might even be a member of some extraordinary organization!

But she didn't expect that Tia was going to hold a promotion ceremony, and it was for Sequence 9.

hateful!

Why didn’t she tell me? If Tia told her, she would definitely join in the sweet duo queue.

But... hehe, Tia actually used my name.

Anne's face flushed slightly as she began to daydream.

"Miss Anne? Miss Anne?"

Scarlett's voice broke Anne's fantasy and said, "That's probably the situation. Miss Tia used your name when she entered the nightmare, and she also had intimate contact with another woman in the nightmare, so I came here specifically to ask... After all, Count Mercury..."

　yue/-*沂~首//发# Another female......

Annie was slightly taken aback and said, "Ah, if it's Tia, then use it. We are good friends."

"But that's immoral. We should fine her!"

Miss Scarlett repeated Anne's words with a righteous look.

Anne nodded in affirmation, agreeing, "Yes, you're right. This isn't moral, but I think moral issues shouldn't be regulated by law. It's also against the law."

"I think education is better than using the law."

Scarlett joked, "But what if Miss Tia does this next time?"

Anne's voice paused slightly, and Scarlett inexplicably heard a sour taste in it.

“Please, please! Please!

"Be sure to give her to me, I will educate her well!"

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

Soon, Evelyn sent Scarlett out and returned to the tea room.

She immediately saw that the eldest lady was arguing with the teapot, drinking cup after cup of tea, and muttering incomprehensible words such as "It was obviously me who came first".

Evelyn brought two plates of cake for Anne to eat with her tea.

Annie said angrily, "Evelyn! I want to become a transcendent too!"

"No."

The head maid's voice was calm.

Evelyn, the diligent maid, was tall and handsome with her blonde hair tied into a ponytail. She had served Anne in the Mercury household for over a decade, having raised her from childhood to adulthood, and knew the young lady inside and out.

Anne's personality is short-lived. She likes this today and that tomorrow.

When I asked him the next day, he said: I’m so tired, I want to sleep.

Evelyn picked up the cake and ate a piece herself, then said, "According to Madam's request, unless you are admitted to Saint Laurent and obtain the priesthood of the church, you cannot perform any extraordinary rituals, let alone enter nightmares - this is also the family motto of the Mercury family.

"If I let you do what you want, I'll be fired."

Annie lost her temper, dropped her teacup with a bang, and said angrily, “Sister Evelin! I’m going to fire you now!”

"I will convey this to Madam. If Madam agrees..."

"Woooa ...

"For your safety and the safety of your butt, I suggest you don't fire me."

Anne was helpless and pushed Evelyn out of the tea room in a huff and slammed the door.

Teenagers are often in a rebellious period, and Anne is no exception.

To be honest, she really wanted to try to become a transcendent—not only because of Tia, but also because of those colorful nightmares.

There is a special underground occult society in the school, which consists of children of aristocrats with good backgrounds. They often dive deep into nightmares to experience the so-called "second life", but Anne can only watch.

When everyone is playing games and you are the only one not playing, then naturally there will be less common topics.

This is also a major reason why she and her classmates can't fit in together>裠企鸸散靈 (４)咎奇山似.

The more Count Mercury and Countess Mercury forbade her, the more curious Anne became about that mysterious world.

"Tia must have the promotion ceremony. No, we can't implicate her... Angela and the others at school mentioned that there's an underground gathering of supernatural people at the Woodpecker Bar next month. Hmm, maybe we can get the promotion ceremony there."

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

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

After getting the family information of "Quick Hand Peter", Tia did not rush to take action. Instead, she took a carriage to the Cathedral of Our Lady.

The Suppression Bureau has a lot of information about the nine major paths, but it is basically concentrated on the Holy Grail, the Hammer, the King, and Alchemy, and there is not much other information.

As for the "prophetic" path that "Fast Peter" has trodden, there are even fewer.

And about nightmares—hardly any.

If the Anti-Suppression Bureau does not have this kind of extraordinary knowledge, then the best way is to seek help from the church.

In addition, her extraordinary characteristic "Light in Blood" must first burn holy wood or gold pounds or gold to obtain holy light.

Gold pounds and gold are outrageous and a pure waste of money.

So Tia planned to pick some holy wood to burn.

The carriage ran all the way and stopped steadily outside the Cathedral of Our Lady.

The Cathedral of Our Lady was much the same as it was sixteen years ago, except that there were a lot more people inside. It was Sunday, so I guess they were there for worship.

Tia was returning to an old place and was familiar with the place. After asking around, she went straight to the confessional and found the old Bishop Marshall who had just finished mass.

The old man looked far less energetic than Cansus. His skin was sagging and he looked like he was dying. He often sat on a bench with his eyes squinted as if he was half asleep.

When Tia arrived, Bishop Marshall said in a trance: "Oh, little Isa is here..."

"You may have recognized the wrong person. I am Tia Sulph, who I had an appointment with in advance."

Tia took out her Anti-Suppression Bureau ID, and the silver shield and golden crown gleamed in the light of the holy candle.

The old man smiled and said, "Oh, oh, it's little Sulph. I still remember your sister."

Tia was surprised and asked, "You still know my sister?"

"Yes, that was probably two or three years ago. I gave an open class at YSL at that time, and she came all the way from Anzu National University to sit in. She's a gifted person, just like you."

"You flatter me. I don't think I have any talent."

The old bishop smiled and said, "It's not a good habit for young people to be too modest. It's no small feat for one person to kill Canaan Ogre. And he even won first place in the promotion ceremony..."

"How do you know about the Sanshiling (VII) ② (II) bar?!"

"Hahaha! Young people shouldn't ask too many questions. Sometimes the answers will surface on their own."

Tia walked over and supported the old man. Marshall slowly stood up, leaning on his cane. He couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Since you came here with your ID from the Anti-Suppression Bureau, I knew you were up to no good. So, why do you want to embarrass an old man like me?"

"I'd like to learn something about the Prophet's Path and about nightmares."

Volume 1: Chapter 35: Prophet, Price, Nightmare, Pollution

"prophet......."

Marshall lingered in front of the image of Our Lady for a while and pondered, "Among the seven major paths, the prophet is the sacred number 1, because it is the beginning of wisdom, the seed of spirituality, the signpost of progress, and the mentor of growth.

"The two most popular branches of prophecy are apocalypse and soothsayer. It is said that there are also arithmeticians who use numerical changes to seek future results or even change the future, but I won't discuss those for now.

"Among them, the Prophets are the wisest. They are certain that the future they foretell will inevitably occur, so they never interfere with it, let alone spread it. This applies to their extraordinary abilities, so they bear the least price. The Apocalypses are completely different. They call the future they see revelation and actively lead people to realize or avoid it.

"Their extraordinary abilities are therefore particularly powerful, but the price they pay is also particularly severe. Many Revelations have also undergone qualitative changes in the 'Path of the Prophet', transforming from prophets into the Holy Grail, which is an offshoot of the Holy Grail Path, the Oracle."

Marshall talked a lot, but Tia didn't understand much, just the general idea.

There are two ways for a prophet to act: one is to only observe the future but not act on it, and the other is to both observe and act on it. The latter also has a transformational relationship with the Holy Grail.

Tia asked, "You just said that extraordinary abilities also have a price?"

"Nothing comes without a price. Alchemy stipulates an exchange of equal value. In the extraordinary realm, if you gain something, you must lose something."

Tia still remembered that her extraordinary ability was to adjust the weight of the soul and body, weakening one to double the other.

Is weakening also a price?

But this is not an equal exchange...

She couldn't help but ask, "But I think Chaofan can help Linlu like Liuqi Ba'er without paying anything."

The old bishop, leaning on his cane, lit three holy candles, and the bright light illuminated the relief portrait on the wall. It depicted two huge trees, one with its crown facing upwards and the other with its crown facing downwards, their roots entangled with each other, becoming each other's mirror images.

Tia had never seen this portrait before. The portraits and reliefs of the Holy Church were basically in steampunk style. It was indeed rare for this painting to appear in the Cathedral of Our Lady.
