It's obvious that he lacked love in his childhood.

Since Tia joined the company, Roman has never stopped testing her, but it was a very outrageous test, directly throwing tasks related to her to her.

Suspecting that she had extraordinary abilities, they directly invited her to the Defense and Suppression Bureau; suspecting that she had connections with the supernatural organization, they asked her to deal with the Twin Snakes Cult; suspecting that she had connections with the Alchemy Society, they allowed Marn Cullen to come to Newlon Harbor.

It's almost an open card.

But this is also good, everyone understands it tacitly. It's just that this time Roman asked her to hand over to the church and deal with the knights of Saint Engard, which is very strange.

She didn't remember any rift with the church, and as for Saint Engard—she had only met the black and white brother and sister from the Broken Isles once during the ascension ceremony.

There was no way Roman was so powerful as to predict what would happen during her promotion ceremony.

That's something worth pondering.

Tia asked Annie to prepare a ritual knife, pigeon blood, crystal shavings, silver powder, holy oil and beeswax for her, and simply carved a "Invisible Step" ritual on the doll. After the carving was completed, she placed the doll in the study.

She went to the police station, also confused:

"Luo Er Liu Er (II) Ying Mio Ba ② Man, what is this thing that he has imagined again?"

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

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

As for the doll in the study, Eleanor had lost interest in it since Tia made it clear that it would not be made in her own image but would be modified based on her body.

After all, she really liked Tia's body - healthy, coordinated, cute, and soft. Thanks to the characteristics of light in blood, this body became even more perfect.

The oak in the soil represents life, nurturing, mother, nature, and prosperity. Although Eleanor doesn't know what's so good about Tia's body, the vitality in her blood, like flowing mercury, is real.

Just as Eleanor subconsciously likes to paint paintings that are full of vitality, she is also subconsciously interested in Tia's body.

That black-haired Sulph is very bad.

Deliberately ruining her mood.

But Eleanor didn't care much, but Anne was fascinated by it and immediately fell in love with Tia's doll.

Who doesn’t like a life-size beautiful girl doll that can change clothes?

The doll was not wearing any clothes yet, but was wrapped in a robe. Annie played with the doll as if it were Tia Nuannuan. She found a white morning shirt from her own closet, and then found a dark-colored long-tailed dress from Tia's closet. She had a lot of fun playing with it.

Let’s not talk about these for now. At eight or nine o’clock in the evening, the lights in Silver Castle are brightly lit, and pedestrians can still be seen coming and going on several busy streets, talking and laughing, bustling about.

But unfortunately it was raining on the road. Tia chatted with a noble lady on the roadside, left a fake business card, and got a black lace umbrella.

Tia just arrived at the Royal Capital Cathedral, walked in through the archway, and turned a corner to go to the Great Library.

The Great Library is located around the Apostolic Square, just like St. Simon's Basilica, but is a little further away from the square. It is a building similar to an ancient Greek amphitheater.

In the great library, Famas personally guarded the forty-five secret books stacked in boxes, while his apprentices hurriedly followed the catalog, climbed up the ladder, and took down the yellowed, repaired ancient books or manuscripts from the extremely tall bookshelves.

Famas looked at his watch. It was already nine o'clock, but the people from the Anti-Suppression Bureau had not arrived yet, which made him frown.

But when he turned around, he saw the girl in the short tuxedo folding her umbrella and putting it aside. She took off her hat and touched her chest in greeting. "Good night, Bishop Famas. I think I'm not too late."

"It's you?" Famas was stunned.

Tia smiled and said, "It seems that His Eminence the Bishop is very surprised by my appearance."

Famas sighed, "That's true. I never expected that the long-absent acting director of Newlon Port would actually meet me not long ago. Fate is truly strange."

He had previously heard Pope Peter's description and thought that this new figure in the Suppression Bureau would be a middle-aged man with many battles under his belt - at least in his thirties like Sir Roman.

But I didn't expect that it was Professor Horner's junior, the new student!

But that's hard to say—some middle-aged people, bolstered by their extraordinary skills, do appear quite youthful. Professor Horner's juniors, in their thirties, seem similar.

That makes sense.

As for admission?

Famas said with a guilty conscience, "Madam! I really need to learn from you. Even at your age, you still strive to learn. This is the true attitude of wisdom."

Just as he finished speaking, an apprentice came over to deliver a book.

The red-haired girl was moving the books with her mind blank. She was stunned when she saw Tia, and then she heard the conversation between Bishop Famas and Tia, and her face became tense.

The cute smile on Tia's face, which had been trained through many trials and tribulations, suddenly froze.

"I think you may have misunderstood something."

Volume 1: Chapter 144 Ancient Writings

"Of the sixty-nine tomes listed in the catalog, forty-five exist. They are all here. This is what the Knights of Saint Engard want... Commissioner Sulph, please conduct an inventory later to ensure the tomes are correct."

"Bishop, what about the remaining twenty-four?"

"Twenty-two of them have been completely lost or destroyed. The remaining two... well, one, the Golden Book, is probably in the hands of the Iris Alchemy Society or the Imperial Transformation Society—what is now known as the Mithril Hermitage. The other, the Hearthfire Book, is in a similar situation."

Bishop Famas spoke very seriously. Seeing that the books had been moved almost completely, he asked Vera to put them down and stand aside.

Hearing this, Tia secretly pinched Vera's hand and forgot to let go. Vera gasped in pain and tears welled up in her eyes.

She finally understood why Roman had transferred her here!

The feelings are because of the Book of Hearthfire.

It must be said that the book was truly amazing. In the first two chapters alone, it already covered the secret knowledge of the alchemical path that was almost at Sequence 5. She hadn't finished reading the third chapter yet, but estimated that it would reach Sequence 4. A bold guess was that it might even contain secret knowledge at Sequence 3.

However, this book alone has reached this point and has been identified as a "forbidden secret book" by the Hanging Temple.

So the remaining forty-five books...

"That's terrible!" Tia sighed calmly, glanced at the box, and said, "I'll carefully count these secret books later. Bishop Yue Yi, when will the knights arrive?"

"It's expected to take two or three days."

Two or three days—that’s plenty of time.

After Tia agreed, she called two armed priests to help carry the box to a small room. Then she made an excuse that she needed documents from the Anti-Suppression Bureau for comparison and inspection, and asked the priest who was watching her to go to the Anti-Suppression Bureau to get the documents.

In the quiet room, Tia rubbed her hands and turned a page directly.

stunned.

Turn another page.

Continue to be stunned.

No wonder Bishop Famas allowed her to bring the secret book into the quiet room - the characters on it gave Tia a headache!

What's going on? What kind of language are you using?

How come I can't understand a single word?!

It was not a common alphabet, nor an ancient script, nor a Chinese character, nor an English, Russian, Japanese or Latin alphabet, but something she had never heard of or seen before, like a bunch of geometric graffiti!

It was like an alien language, and Tia couldn't understand the logic behind the characters.

Damn it!

Bishop Famas walked in and asked, "Commissioner Sulph, what do you think?"

"Something is not right, Bishop!" Tia frightened the honest man Famas as soon as she opened her mouth.

The crowned bishop frowned, his voice slightly worried, "Is there something wrong with the secret book?"

"Yes, it could be a big problem! But it's unlikely to be a big problem. You'll know what the problem is once you look at it. If you can't see it, I can't tell you. Those who understand will understand, and those who don't understand won't understand even if I tell them."

Tia's face was full of seriousness, and she was seriously trying to scare the bishop.

Famas first suspected that there was something wrong with Tia. But then he thought:

——As a commissioner of the Suppression Bureau, Miss Tia Sulph may be questionable in other aspects, but she is definitely loyal to the royal family.

There was no way she was joking about something like the Secret Codex, which threatened the order of the Kingdom, right?

She is not a daring fraudster and would not speak nonsense.

Famas said worriedly, "It seems that His Holiness the Pope needs to come and handle this."

"No, Bishop, you haven't considered it enough," Tia said. "With His Holiness's wisdom, he must be aware of the problems here. But he's so busy, so it's best to leave this matter to me. I'll definitely resolve it before the knights of Saint Engard arrive."

"How sure are you?"

"100 percent."

After hearing what Tia said, Famas felt that the matter was not as serious as he thought, and agreed reluctantly.

Tia hurriedly wrote down a few lines of text, feeling even weirder.

It was difficult for her to remember the shapes of these words. After reading them several times, she could only remember two or three lines. You have to know that with her current soul and body strength, she could remember more than half of the ten lines on a page!

That night she and Vera returned to 16 Crown Street, but the next day she could only remember four or five characters.

As soon as she got up in the morning, she wrote down all the characters she remembered on paper.

At this moment.

Eleanor was eating breakfast with bread in the living room. Tia showed it to Eleanor first. Eleanor asked blankly, "Do you want to draw?"

After thinking for a while, Eleanor handed Tia several of her introductory painting books.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is an art student.

Tia scratched her head, refused, and went to Vera's room - Vera didn't like to lock the door, so she went in directly.

He pulled the red-haired girl up.

Vera, with her short hair in disarray, asked in confusion, "Do I have to work again today, Monday?"

Tia said: "Saturday."

"Why did you wake me up on Saturday?" Vera was even more confused. She touched her wig twice but couldn't find it.

She had two long hair ties, but they were actually wigs that she would take off before going to bed at night. When she didn't feel them, she knew she wasn't dreaming.

"Help me see if you know these words?"

Tia took out the copied paper.

Vera was puzzled and said, "I skipped all the ancient Chinese characters classes, and you're asking me?"

She looked at the calculus homework assigned by Bishop Farmas...

This was within Tia's expectations. It shook Vera, making her more awake. She said to her, "Then go back to sleep."

After saying that, the black-haired girl turned around and left without mercy.

Vera was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and said angrily, "I'm sleeping with you, you idiot! You disturbed my sleep so early on a Saturday morning!"

Lie down and sleep again.

But how can I sleep?

Vera got up in a rage, put on her clothes, and ran straight to Tia's room. She used her pillow and covered herself with her quilt and slept in her bed.

.........

Tia covered her ears and went downstairs. Anne was cooking at that moment - not really, she was just squeezing various foods and sauces on bread and feeding it to Eleanor.

The taste was ordinary, but Eleanor didn't mind it. She could eat anything that was edible.

Tia showed it to Annie again.

Annie asked curiously, "Does this look like text?"

Tia was astonished and asked happily, "How did you see that?"

Annie said, "It somewhat resembles the structure of some tribes in the southern continent. I've seen it in some ancestral documents."

"Annie, are your ancestors from the Southern Continent?"

"How is that possible? People from the Southern Continent never visit the other countries on the mainland, let alone Ansu overseas. Our ancestors have been to the Southern Continent and seen some tribal texts. However, their writing is very strange, standing out from the crowd, so it's easy for those who know to distinguish them."

Tia chose to hug her thighs and begged, "Annini, help me."

Anne stood on tiptoe and slapped Tia on the head with her wrist, rejecting her. "Don't treat others as your hope so casually! It's very troublesome to understand what they mean! I can't do this kind of thing even if you beg me.

"Although the writing systems of those tribes seem similar, each tribe's writing system seems to be slightly different. If we want to decipher it, we'll have to find a professional!"
