Tia took the book without hesitation.

Vera scratched her head. She didn't have any objections to this. She couldn't understand the book even if she took it. It could only be sold for antique money. There wasn't much of a market for it...

Although Miss Tia is a little unreasonable, she saved her life after all, so Vera feels embarrassed to fool her.

She kindly advised, "This secret language is basically indecipherable. If you want to decipher it, it will cost a lot of money. You'll have to hire a lot of experts who are proficient in ancient characters, and it may not be successful.

"Or maybe I'll get lucky and find a transcendent who has learned this secret language in a nightmare."

As for Tia knowing secret language?

How can it be?

This person didn't even understand deep diving and nightmares, so how could he learn the language of nightmares?

"No need." Tia refused directly and said, "I'll copy the alchemy encyclopedia, and you can take it. And I'll also copy the Iris Kingdom's Sequence Nine Ritual."

Only children choose between two options. Real adults will only say: I want them all.

Vera was completely shocked by the shameless behavior of the black-haired girl in front of her. Well, so this is her plan, to get everything at once...

Copying books wasn't difficult. After all, Tia had been to school, so she had no problem writing and reading. Drawing was a skill she had already mastered, so it wasn't difficult at all.

The entire book of Alchemy introduces more than 30 alchemical potion recipes, most of which have overlapping functions, and the remaining half are herbal mixtures that Tia has mastered.

What Tia holds now is as follows:

1. Alchemical Potion Codex

2. Hearthfire Book

3. Two parchments of rituals for advancement to Alchemist Sequence Nine

4. A ritual for extracting spirituality, a sacrificial knife of unknown purpose, and a piece of horse femur.

Needless to say, alchemical potions have a wide range of uses, including curing diseases, healing injuries, and adding buffs.

The Hearthfire Book directly involves the principles of alchemy and the Sequence 6 rituals, and is extremely precious.

Two Sequence 9 rituals. She was quite interested in the content of mysticism. One was for self-protection, and the other was for debt collection.

Spiritual rituals, sacrificial knives and horse bones, these things are of no great use for now, they are purely Tun Tun Rat’s habits.

There were some alchemical potions in the basement of the church, but she didn't take any of them. God knows what was in them.

If she ends up in the hospital, her entire search wouldn't be enough to pay for her treatment...

After searching through all the boxes and cabinets, Tia carefully packed all the spoils in the box, and then took out the sleeping bag that she had prepared long ago.

Just the right size for one person to sleep in.

It would be too crowded for two people to sleep.

In March, the six of them could only sleep in each other's arms.

Vera looked at the large yellow sleeping bag and said in confusion, "You came here to kill someone and you plan to stay overnight?"

"I'm not sure about the situation, but I'm just in case." Tia unfolded her sleeping bag and said, "Besides, it's already past ten o'clock. I can't guarantee that I can return to Newlon Harbor."

Long before Vera woke up, Tia went to the ground to check. A loud thunder and lightning cut through the darkness, exploding in the gloomy dark clouds, followed by a heavy rain. She ran all the way in the rain before she got the sleeping bag back.

It was a dark and windy night and it was still raining outside. There was no way I could get back.

The dirt road outside was already muddy and splashed with muddy water when stepped on.

As a kingdom still in the steam age, Ansu has no asphalt roads or street lights that illuminate continuously at night.

The top floor collapsed, and people couldn't sleep in the alchemy room underground because the ground was shaking from the explosion and a pile of unknown liquid was spilled on the ground.

Moreover, her clothes were soaked by sea water just now. She was now completely honest with Tia. If she got sick from the cold while sleeping here, it would be a huge expense.

Vera looked around and asked with a cheeky face, "Any spares?"

"No."

"Can I get some sleep, too?"

"roll."

"I'll give you one pound! One pound!" Vera took out a 1 pound note with a painful look on her face. King Charles's bared-toothed portrait was printed on the front of the note.

Tia ignored her.

"One pound fifteen pence!"

“…”

"Three pounds!"

Tia spread her sleeping bag under a rock and lay down in it.

She patted her shirt, stood up, and said, "Come in."

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

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

It was six o'clock in the morning and the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Jingle bell bell bell bell~

Vera was awakened by the sound of an alarm clock. She looked up suddenly and found that it was a set alarm clock, not a timed detonator.

After the shock, she crawled out of the sleeping bag and found that Tia had already packed up and left.

She left very decisively. She knew nothing about her except that her name was "Tia Sulph" and she was a woman.

Well, she also knew that her body was soft and fragrant - because it was too cold last night, she held Tia in her arms the whole time while sleeping.

Although the guy's mouth was cold, his body was surprisingly warm.

"This is quite interesting. A transcendent who suddenly appeared has a grudge against the Hand of Transformation... As for archaeology, only St. Gentins University in Newlondon offers it. Only nobles can attend this school... or perhaps someone from outside the area?"

Vera slapped her cheeks, feeling a little regretful.

If I could get up earlier, maybe I could find some useful clues by following her movements.

Unfortunately, I got up too late.

——After the girl with short brown hair left St. Vincent's Church with regret.

Tia came out of the cemetery slowly, and only returned the same way after making sure that she was not being followed, carrying the box.

........

Nine hours after Tia Surf left St. Vincent's Church.

Five hundred meters from St. Vincent's Church, four carriages slowly pulled up. Over twenty heavily armed Newport police officers disembarked, all equipped with chain mail, sabers, and pistols.

Two priests got out of another carriage, along with a senior police inspector and a police superintendent, all wearing medals on their chests.

A superintendent is the officer in charge of an entire jurisdiction, while a police inspector is of a slightly lower rank and is only in charge of a single police station.

In other words, the superintendent is the district or county chief, and the inspector is the street chief.

From their conversation, the four men revealed that the inspector's name was "Roman" and the superintendent's name was "Field".

But Inspector Roman, smoking a pipe, showed no sign of respect towards his "superior." On the contrary, Superintendent Field spoke in a relaxed tone, seemingly trying to lighten the mood.

Roman said calmly, "This cult has been based in Newlon Harbor for four months, and both Silver Castle and the Cathedral are very unhappy."

Superintendent Field suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said quickly;

"The Hand of Transformation has changed its base twice in the past few months. Silver Castle also transferred the inspector of the Newlon Port Suppression Bureau due to the Queen's celebration, which is why it's been delayed until now..."

"You mean Her Majesty the Queen caused this?"

"No! No!"

"So how's the inspection going inside now?"

Field quickly bowed and apologized, saying, "I've already asked three inspectors to investigate this place. With so many people deployed now, those cultists will definitely not be able to escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, the police officer who was investigating came back with a serious expression and whispered to Field.

In an instant, Field's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but said in a sharp voice:

"What! They were all killed?!"

Volume 1: Chapter 8: Anne Mercury

Newlon Harbor, the residence of Earl Mercury in the Grand Harbor area.

Anne Mercury calmed her inner restlessness, picked up the quill pen at the desk, put down her handwriting, thought it over, and opened the "Collection of Love Poems" beside her. She wrote over and over again but was still not satisfied.

It took me more than half an hour to write, and I had only just started the letter, which basically said "Dear classmate Tia" and so on.

I was busy until four or five in the afternoon, when the head maid knocked on the door.

"Miss, may I come in now? Madam asked me to tell you that Director Field has an appointment with the Earl to dine at the restaurant in Caral tonight. Would you like to go with him?"

When Anne heard the knock on the door, she hurriedly tidied the table and stuffed the unfolded collection of love letters and the pile of discarded manuscripts onto the bookshelf.

Then she looked left and right in front of the floor-length mirror, lifted her skirt and sat on the chair, and said in a gentle voice, “Sister Evelin, please come in.”

Turning the handle, Evelin pushed the door open and walked in, bowing, "You are still healthy and beautiful today."

"Thank you, Evelyn! But today, I'd rather eat at home. I really like Chef Uncle Hof's cooking!"

Anne's voice is lively and agile, with a long tail tone, and it jumps as happily as singing.

As she spoke, she quietly hid the envelope that she had hidden behind her and had not had time to put away into her sleeve.

Of course she couldn't follow her father to the director's house, as she hadn't finished writing the letter yet!

Evelyn bowed and said, "Mr. Hof would be very happy if he knew you said that. Please follow me. Madam is waiting over there."

“Please take me with you! Sister Evelin!”

Anne hid the envelope, put on a smile, and followed Evelyn to find Mrs. Mercury.

The Earl's mansion was quite large. Leaving Anne's bedroom, she walked through a long corridor and turned countless corners before finally seeing Mrs. Mercury.

The lady was already seated at the dining table, and several maids were carrying silver trays and placing steaming hot food on the table - all in the style of the Iris Kingdom.

Ansu was an island nation with few resources, which meant that most of the food was rather crude, far less refined and exquisite than the more abundant continental countries. For example, the chefs of Ansu's aristocracy were almost all Iris people.

"My Annie! Sit here!"

The lady waved to Anne, asked her to sit aside, and said softly, "How's your life at school lately? I heard from your driver that you've been going out to play with your classmates after school lately."

"The school is great, and everyone is very friendly!" After answering the first question, Annie blushed slightly when she asked the second question, and immediately thought of her "deal" with Tia over the past few months.

I can only say that fortunately I always close the door tightly and exercise great restraint in not making any unnecessary noise.

The lady noticed that Annie's voice had stopped, and asked with concern: "Huh? What's wrong? Did you have a conflict with your classmates?"

"No! It's not! It's just...Tia-san is a very nice person!"

"So your name is Tia? What a cute name. Why don't you tell us about it?"

"Because Tia actually goes to a neighborhood middle school, I'm worried that Dad will stop me and Tia from dating if he finds out. But if it's Mom, then it should be okay, right?"

Anne hid in her lady's arms, blinking coquettishly.

The lady couldn't help laughing when she saw Anne's expression. She stroked her daughter's hair and said, "How could that be? Your father and I have no objection to you making friends with people of whatever background. As long as they are kind, honest, tolerant, and don't hurt you, that's enough."

"Thank you, Mom! Of course, Tia-san won't hurt me!"

It is certain that she will not cause any harm. As for kindness, integrity and tolerance...Tia is very kind when taking the money, and very upright when leaving after taking the money. She is also very tolerant of various requests from me as long as I am paid!

Tia is a very virtuous person!

Anne said this with a solemn oath, picked up her knife and fork, cut a piece of steak and put it on the lady's plate.

The lady's eyes revealed an unstoppable tenderness and smile, "Well, continue eating, my little angel."

Half an hour into dinner, Anne prepared to return to her bedroom, saying she was full and wanted to go back to studying her history book.

Of course, studying is secondary. The most important thing is to prepare a letter to classmate Tia!

She had already found out that classmate Tia really enjoyed writing letters to her "pen pals" two months ago. If she wrote more, she could also become Tia's "pen pal"!

Our relationship is getting closer and closer, and we can go to Silver Castle to attend university together in the future and spend four years together!
