Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

"You found Peter Quick's hiding place in just one afternoon?"

In the office, Roman rubbed his forehead and looked in disbelief at the girl who was drinking soda from a glass bottle.

Tia had said that they would start the action in the afternoon, and he thought it would take a day or two.

I didn’t expect that they would start the action at around 4 o’clock and slap Peter the Quick Hand’s hiding place in his face at around 7 o’clock!

Damn, this is too fast!

Tia patted her chest and said confidently, "This is Roman Speed! Sir, you can promote it in the police station and deduct money from anyone who fails to reach Roman Speed."

"Why is it my name?"

"I'm afraid of being beaten to death."

"Sulph, you..." Roman rubbed his forehead and said, "What's next? You want to rush in alone with Scarlett? It's not easy to fight in there with your strength, right?"

Tia smiled sweetly and said, "Of course! Uncle Roman, you don't want me to die in there, do you?"

"Behave normally, I'm scared." Roman took a sip of tea and almost choked. He said speechlessly, "What on earth are you going to do?"

The black-haired girl pulled a chair to the table, crossed her hands and placed them on the table, and said seriously, "Three gears."

"What do you mean?"

"For the first tier, I'll get it done for you before the end of the year; for the second tier, I'll get it done for you before next month; for the third tier—"

"Third gear?"

"I'll do it for you today."

"Sulfu, you're a damn genius at debt collection."

"I think so too." Tia tapped her fingers on the table and said calmly, "But Director, alchemy stipulates the principle of the sacred number 7. All power must have a price. This is an equal exchange."

Roman looked at the girl deeply.

I have to say that his vision is really good. This guy is a natural apostle of alchemy and doesn't want to suffer any loss.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Give me a submachine gun and I promise to bring you the money. Besides, Scarlett's help is needed for this. I can't let her go hungry while I'm full, right? What I mean is—"

Tia paused, stretched out her right hand, spread out her slender, white fingers, and said, "You have to pay more."

Five fingers.

It's just five points.

Originally, Roman paid Tia 15 points, and now it has increased by another 5 points.

20% is a bit high. Even Roman felt a little pain in his stomach.

However, this figure was just within his acceptable range, not too high for him to reject outright. After considering it for a moment, Roman said sincerely:

"You really should start a debt collection agency, Sulf! Go get the firearms application certificate yourself later and use my name.

"By the way, the church sent a batch of holy wood. What are you doing there? Are you defecting to the enemy?"

Roman drank a cup of tea to calm himself down first, and he had some opinions about old Bishop Marshall.

Where are the fresh cabbages I just planted!

Your Holy Church is so unrespectable, digging up people's newly planted vegetable gardens?!

The girl smiled and said, "I wouldn't go so far as to surrender to the enemy, but the conditions offered to me by the church are quite generous."

Roman couldn't help but curse, "Fuck the Holy Church! Tia! No, Master Sulf, I will give you a monthly salary of 30 gold pounds."

"That's not enough. The old bishop gave me a letter of recommendation from Saint Laurent. By the way, did you graduate from the Department of Literature?"

"Anzu National Classical Literature Department, what's going on?"

"Nothing. When you swear, you're just like the members of the House of Commons. After all, law school students like Scarlett are so well behaved and cute."

Roman praised, "You have good judgment. I can give you a letter of recommendation for Ansu National University. Sulph, you are not suited to steam and power at all. I have a feeling that you are born to be in the School of Arts. You might even be suitable to be a member of parliament."

“I can’t go to two universities at the same time.”

"So, do you want to be a member of parliament?"

Tia was stunned and asked curiously, "You still have this channel?"

Roman said, "At next week's Royal Conference, parliamentary electoral reform will be on the agenda. By then, Newlondon will likely have 30-60 more seats."

Is this really possible?!

However, Tia wasn't particularly interested in becoming a councillor. She was simply shocked and exclaimed, "Sir, you're incredibly knowledgeable. Could I really become a councillor?"

"Haha, just kidding. Besides, the issue of women's suffrage is still unresolved."

"My feelings have faded, so I went to the church."

"Tell me what you want now. Get the five thousand gold pounds back first. I can find you the alchemical path for the Sequence 8 advancement ritual."

"That's great, but does the previous monthly salary of thirty gold pounds still count?"

"count."

Roman was not so stingy as to haggle over thirty gold pounds, and simply gave Tia a generous salary.

The girl said with satisfaction, "What about the recommendation qualification? Although I don't need it, I can probably make a lot of money if I sell it on the market."

The knight's temples were throbbing violently, and he kept trying to speak but stopped himself.

This is how it is when talking to Miss Tia Sulph. The good thing is that as long as you treat her sincerely, she will not treat you as an outsider. The bad thing is that she doesn't treat you as a human being at all.

Roman felt like he was a sheep covered in golden fleece in the eyes of this girl, and she wanted to grab a handful of it at any time.

The elegant knight held it in for a long time before speaking:

"Three passes away, zero moves, four passes away."

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

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

In the lobby on the first floor of the police station, the clock showed it was 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the police officers had already gone off work.

Even Roman, who often worked overtime, said goodbye to Tia and left.

Scarlett was treated like a slave by Tia, and was busy moving information and looking for specific information about the lair of Fast Hand Peter.

——She actually found quite a few.

The archives retrieved information about Peter Quick's hideout, revealing it was located in a warehouse belonging to a still-functioning food factory on Copper Tube Street near the Grand Harbor District docks. The warehouse was owned by the Siren Song Apothecary Factory.

The shares of this factory are quite interesting. Lawrence Security Company actually holds 45% of it.

On one side is the leader of the Snake Gang, and on the other side is the factory guarded by Lawrence.

Lawrence Security is a whitewashed gang organization. The father of its founder, Lawrence Jr., is "Gru Lawrence" who was shot through the back of the head by Tia in her nightmare.

Scarlett came over with a cup of coffee and asked curiously, "You don't have work tonight, right? Are you going to get off work?"

This was like a curse. As soon as I said it—

Tia put the file down and said, "Interesting. Scarlett, don't leave yet. Wait for me at the police station."

Miss Scarlett said pitifully, "Hey! Aren't you going to get off work?!"

"After get off work?" Tia relaxed her shoulders, held Scarlett's arm and said, "We still have a nightlife tonight."

"Night after night, night after night?!"

Scarlett's mind suddenly flashed with a lot of stories about bosses having affairs with their subordinates, and she was terrified and at a loss.

This kind of thing shouldn't be agreed to, right? But, orders must be obeyed!

"Yes. Tonight we will get rid of Peter the Quick by Saturday night."

"It will be work time soon. You can sleep in the police station for a while, and remember to leave the door open. I'll take care of some personal matters and come to see you later. There will be no overtime pay. But I will give you a bonus."

Tia took the key from Scarlett and asked, "How about a hundred gold pounds?"

Scarlett was shocked to hear this figure. Her monthly salary was only 9 gold pounds!

I heard that even if they were officially hired, the salary of an ordinary police officer was only a pitiful 11 ​​gold pounds, which was not as much as what they could earn working as a porter during the peak season...

The last time she saw so much money was when she went to Ansu National University to pay tuition.

The trainee police officer stammered, "Sir! Do you need me to pay anything?"

"I need your body."

"What kind of need is it?"

"Trainee Police Officer, Hunter-in-Training Scarlett, what is the highest-grade weapon the Greater Harbor District Police Department can approve?"

"Submachine guns, shotguns, and demolition charges, sir."

"Very good. Prepare a submachine gun and sufficient ammunition for me. Also prepare two ropes, a silver knife, linen, a crystal cup, and thirty mithril bullets for the submachine gun.

"As you command, sir!"

"The voice is too quiet and lacks spirit! Give me the holy wood sent by the Holy Church and light it. I want to arrange the ceremony. You are not allowed to reveal the contents to anyone."

"Yes, sir!"

"Very good. Grab your weapons and prepare to raid the Siren Song Apothecary Factory later! Tonight, we must complete the mission!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

Volume 1: Chapter 43: Quick Decision

The holy wood sent by the church was piled up in the police station's warehouse. Ten kilograms was not a lot, and all of it was cut into long strips and sealed in boxes.

Tia first took 250g of holy wood and threw it into the fireplace and lit it.

The finished product of holy wood is dark red instead of the brown-yellow color of ordinary wood. The reason is that the raw material of holy wood is dragon blood tree, which secretes a blood-red resin.

The first step in preparing Palo Santo is to allow the resin and wood to blend into one, resulting in this deep red color.

It burned in the fireplace, making crackling sounds. Tia could see dots of fluorescence lingering in the blood-red flames.

She raised her wrist and cut a small incision on the blood vessel with a knife. She frowned slightly, and immediately fluorescent light flew into the wound.

The bleeding wound stopped instantly, but the wound did not heal.

Tia could already feel a slight warmth in her body, like the warm sun on a winter afternoon. As long as she wanted, the fluorescent light would cover the wound and repair it directly in the next moment.

According to the description of "Light in the Blood", this is a Sequence 6 "Quick Heal" directly deployed at the wound, which can "quickly recover from non-fatal injuries."

Until all the fluorescent light flew in, her wound was covered by a faint glow. When the light dissipated, there was not even a scar left, and she had completely recovered.

It's an incredible recovery effect.

这250g圣木烧出来的圣光，缇娅估计能覆盖自己上半身4分钟或者覆盖全身2分钟。一公斤圣木烧完积攒的圣光能覆盖全身10分钟，这姑且算是1个单位的圣光。

But her health has a storage limit, and can only hold 3 units of Holy Light at most. Any more will be lost.

After leaving the police station, Tia turned and headed towards White Oak Street. On the way, she caught a few cooing pigeons from the trees. She performed a pigeon ceremony in the police station and put them on her body.

It was already night, and the Dagangwan area had streetlights, so it was still possible to walk.

It is actually not very safe to walk on the streets of New York at night. Homeless people, thieves, robbers and criminals can be seen everywhere on the streets.

If she could meet a thief, she could try out her extraordinary abilities.

After she transformed 15% of her soul to enhance her 30% of her body, she was able to master the Elephant Gun with relative ease. After transforming 35% of her soul to enhance her body, the Elephant Gun felt like a toy!

Now, in addition to the elephant hunting rifle, she also had a short submachine gun with a capacity of 25 rounds in her arms.

——This thing is much more useful than an elephant hunting rifle against ordinary people.

However, the security in the Grand Harbor District is slightly better, second only to the King District. Tia did not encounter any of them along the way, which made the guns she carried with her of little use.

But leaving the Dagangwan District, we arrived at the Beigang District.

"Gugugugu~" "Gugugugu~"

As early as when she came out of the Dagangwan District Police Station, she caught a few pigeons from a nearby tree, strangled them, and arranged a pigeon ceremony.

As expected, she actually managed to detect it.
