Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

A light red blood mist emerged from Holly's body. The surging blood shadow made her look like she had two shaking wolf ears on her head, and there was also a blood mist sweeping back and forth behind her like a tail.

Holly held the shotgun, her wolf ears twitching slightly as she pleaded, "Please don't try to escape. If you do, I'll have to kill you, and I'll lose all my food money, which is terrible."

"Minister Bernice, an urgent telegram from Iris. I'm delivering it to you here."

"Hurry up and tell me, Kurd! Are you waiting till I, an old man, die?"

The short "detective" Kurd, wearing a child's suit, spread his hands helplessly and said, "Minister Bernice, you're old now. You should learn to slow down your pace of life."

Ms. Bernice paused her furious hand as she wrote, and said impatiently, "If it's important, read it to me, an old man. If it's not important, get out of here. It's not my turn for a little kid like you to teach me."

"All right, then. It's no big deal. Maan Cullen ran away."

"Mahn, Mahn, which Mahn?"

Ms. Bernice was a bit forgetful. Although she hadn't reached Alzheimer's, her memory was always unclear. She looked through all her notes and asked in surprise, "The great inventor who is going to be sent to the Empire?"

"Isn't he going to be secretly released tomorrow?

"This is truly...it's not even autumn yet! And there's already so much going on." The already somewhat gray-haired old lady rubbed her forehead, paused her work, and waved her hand. "Have Iris control the border and do a thorough search. Your work remains the same. By the way, please help me call Tia Sulph to Silver Castle."

Kurd bowed in agreement, left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hailed a public carriage at the foot of the mountain, and went to No. 16 Crown Street to invite Tia.

Tia had spent the past few days familiarizing herself with the puppets, and had even infiltrated the Hanging Temple, sharing some secret knowledge with Annie and Vera. Tia had extracted it from the Hearthfire Book, while Vera had become a thief in the church, relying on the church's support.

Anne's source of knowledge was rather odd: she had acquired some bizarre rituals that Tia initially assumed were family traditions.

As a result, during one of his dives, he unexpectedly ran into Anne standing by the window of the banquet hall, communicating with the spiritual creatures outside the window, and then received some gifts, more or less.

Why doesn't she get this treatment?

Tia was puzzled. Then, in the middle of the night, Eleanor woke her up to call the shrine—this guy couldn't sleep and woke her up in the middle of the night to talk on the phone.

After chatting for a few days, Eleanor didn't get tired of it, but the face of the faceless man in Tia's inverted temple became more and more abstract.

To be precise, it is becoming more and more like a human, but it is only 1/4 human.

There are faces on the four sides of her head, front, back, left and right, but only the front one is a human face.

As for the left, right, and back:

Some look like birds, some look like some kind of animal with horns, and some look like cats.

But they are all very blurry, not as clear as a human face.

Tia spent several days trying to figure out what was going on. Just as she was about to sink into the Hanging Temple, she was interrupted by Kurd knocking on the door. She had to go to the Silver Castle first.

Silver Castle, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Office.

Tia walked over the threshold and bowed to Ms. Bernice Group II 1 鏾 wuqi (9) 6 umbrellas. She asked doubtfully, "Madam, are you calling me?"

"Little Sulph is here?" Bernice waved and pushed her reading glasses. "Something happened. Sit down first, I'll tell you slowly."

Tia had a vague feeling and said, "Is it about Iris?"

"You guessed it right. And it's about Maan Cullen. The matter has been blown out of proportion."

Tia was stunned and asked, "Did something happen with Maan's release from prison?"

Bernice gets angry whenever this is mentioned.

She had planned it all out: Maen Cullen was a very important step, not only a nail driven into the empire, but also a key step in laying the seeds of division for Iris.

It turns out that the iris can't even guard a prison. What is the point of it?

Bernice said angrily, "Little Sulph! Your guess is absolutely correct. Marn Cullen was jailbroken by a group of ruthless thugs! Iris's gang of good-for-nothings couldn't even hold Hurkacz Prison, yet they allowed two Sequence 7 Transcendent thugs to come and go freely!"

"But what I can't figure out is where did this gang of thugs get the information about Maan Cullen?! The Empire? That's possible. Those thugs were so rampant and unscrupulous, it's truly the Empire's style.

"But Marn's transfer to Hurkats was done in secret. There's no way the Empire would know about it. So where did they get the information from? Could there be a mole in Ansu?"

Volume 1: Chapter 157 But I’m in the bathroom!

There is a high possibility that there is a traitor in Ansu, but it is unlikely that there is a traitor in Ansu.

Besides the royal family, the only person in Ansu who knew about Bernice's plan was the Silver Castle Defense Bureau. All the commissioners of the Silver Castle Defense Bureau were under the monitoring of the Avalon system, so there was no possibility of any problems.

Royal Family.......

The royal family can't be the first to sell out the country, right?

Bernice couldn't be sure. Perhaps someone on Iris' side had betrayed them? It was hard to say.

But the situation in Iris was becoming increasingly difficult to explain. Bernice planned to visit Iris herself, so she specifically called Tia over and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will disguise myself and board a church ship to Iris at the end of this month to conduct a foreign visit on behalf of His Majesty and His Royal Highness Albert."

Tia was surprised and said, "You want to step down and give me the position of Foreign Minister?"

Ms. Bernice nearly choked on her saliva.

"Don't dream too much, kid. It's not your turn no matter who gets it.

"Someone will take over the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Suppression Bureau, but one thing is for sure: my leaving Ansu must not be known to anyone."

Tia suddenly realized, "You want me to watch the door for you."

"That's not your turn." Ms. Bernice chuckled. "I asked Roman to watch the door for me and handle some important work. But Roman has been transferred back, and the position in Newlon Port is open again. You have to go there on a business trip."

Ms. Bernice said earnestly, "There's no one more suitable than you in Silver Castle. I'm very optimistic about you, little Sulph."

This is said with great sincerity.

Ansu's extraordinary power has declined somewhat. Whether compared with the Empire or Iris, or even compared with Saint Engard that split away and became independent five hundred years ago, Ansu's extraordinary power is somewhat insignificant.

Although Sequence 1 hasn't been seen in hundreds of years, there are still some Sequence 2.

For example, the president of the Iris Alchemy Society, the Grand Inquisitor and Chief Mage of the Imperial Inquisition, the Blind Prophet of the Palace of Wisdom, and the Holy See Bishop of the Theocracy. They were all officially Sequence 2. Although most of them were half-dead, their mere existence was a deterrent.

As for Sequence 3, there are even more. You can find three or four of them by combining Iris War and Split.

Comparing it with Ansu, Ansu only has two Sequence 3s, and they are both old guys - no one knows how many more years they can last.

Beyonders who reach Sequence 3 are called "Saints," a stark difference from Beyonders at other stages. Beyonders at this stage are more like strategic weapons; you can have a few, but you absolutely cannot have none.

Therefore, Ms. Bernice was very interested in Tia, a woman with outstanding talent and a good family background, and hoped to give her more experience. If Roman was not enough, Tia would be the next hope.

"no problem."

Tia nodded and agreed. It just so happened that she also needed to avoid the surveillance of the Avalon system during this period - she had to go to Iris, of course, not in person.

The girl exchanged a few words with Ms. Bernice and brought the old lady a scarf she had knitted herself, which surprised the elderly Ms. Bernice.

This was indeed knitted by hand. She could even see the wrong yarn and the crooked warp and weft. If this was produced in a factory, it would be an insult to the machines.

By the time the lady realized what was happening, Tia had already said goodbye and left.

When Tia returned to No. 16 Crown Street, she saw Annie turning over the sofa.

Annie asked curiously, "Tia, where did I throw away the scarf I knitted a while ago? It's the ugly one. It's so ugly, I plan to donate it."

Tia said seriously, "It was taken away by Ms. Bernice."

"Ha, Ms. Bernice? Isn't that the Foreign Secretary? You're lying to me again! Do you think I'm a fool like Eleanor who believes everything she says? Did you throw it away secretly?"

"Eleanor has come downstairs."

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Anne turned around and saw Eleanor coming out of the upstairs bedroom, confused as to what had happened.

Tia went upstairs and Eleanor asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

Tia giggled and said, "It's okay. Anne said you are very smart, Eleanor."

This was absolutely true, and there wasn't a hint of deception in Tia's voice. Eleanor was somewhat pleased: she had never been praised for her intelligence since she was a child.

Eleanor said happily: "Tia, you are also very smart."

Tia: “???”

Eleanor has an amazing learning ability, and Tia can't handle it, so she goes to knock on Vera's door.

Vera's bedroom bed was messy, and the girl was lying on the bed reading a book, laughing as she read. Hearing Tia knock on the door, Vera opened the door and stuck her head out. "You, what are you doing here?"

"I want to ask you about the church. It seems the Suppression Bureau is going to Iris next month on a church ship. What's going on there?"

"Ah, about that. It seems Iris and Saint Engard have just reached an agreement to rebuild the church and win over Saint Engard to fight against the Empire. The teacher said they'll select a group of priests and nuns to go there to provide assistance, but I definitely won't be involved. As for why the Suppression Bureau is going there, I don't know."

After Vera said this, Tia finally understood what was going on.

Taking advantage of the aid construction to insert holes and interfere with other people's homes...

Tia asked, "Do you know which ships they are?"

"How would I know..." Vera scratched her head and asked, "Isn't Anne's father in the Admiralty? He's still in Nylon. If he goes out to sea, he must go through Nylon. Why don't you ask Anne? Count Perique will definitely know."

Vera's words woke the dreamer up, and Tia rewarded Vera with a gold coin, which was the remaining deposit for Holly.

Vera was surprised for a moment when she got a gold coin.

What was going on? Vera was actually a little scared. Why was he giving her money all of a sudden? Was he going to come over tonight and recruit her to do something big?

Whatever the case, there must be ulterior motives.

Vera is now a little PTSD because of Tia, and now she is stressed again.

Tia, unaware of Vera's inner drama, went back to Annie. Finding out about the church's ships was pretty simple; Annie called Count Peric and asked, and she pretty much got the answer.

Return to the study.

"The church is going to Iris to provide construction support. This is a good opportunity. But Scarlett is also going to be transferred to an overseas post, right? Is that the same thing?"

The figure of the slightly reserved girl with long flaxen hair and a wide-brimmed hat who always sat upright appeared in front of Tia.

Close your eyes.

the other side.

Scarlett, who had just returned home from get off work, was cooking in the kitchen with her mother. She also had a younger sister. Her father, who had just returned from the factory, took off his greasy coat and hugged his sister, teasing her and making her laugh.

While cooking, Scarlett went to the bathroom and heard a call from the unknown.

"Scarlett Lane. Scarlett Lane. My messenger has arrived at your door."

Scarlett panicked, "Huh? But I'm in the bathroom!"

Volume 1: Chapter 158 Miracles and Magic Do Exist

Tia arrived at a very bad time.

Scarlett hurried out of the bathroom and opened the door for Tia - or to be more precise, Miss Fernina Bonaparte.

Scarlett felt vaguely familiar with Miss Fernina Bonaparte's appearance, but she couldn't tell where she looked familiar.

But no matter what, she couldn't connect this girl who seemed to come from a noble family with labels like "witch's servant".

Long white hair with highlights, a white shirt, a gradient dark blue long-tailed dress, and in her hand a cane inlaid with sapphires and with gold-plated edges and corners - she looks like someone who would appear at an aristocratic ball!

She had always thought that the Witch's messenger would be a weirdo with three heads, eight hands, thick and long fingers, eyes on the palms, and tentacles that could emerge from under his robe...

"Hello, Uncle Ryan! Hello, Aunt Temir! I'm Fernina Bonaparte."

As soon as Tia came in, she bowed to Ryan and his wife. The girl's dress and etiquette made the couple a little flattered.

Scarlett's mother, Mrs. Temir, was a lady in her forties with long flaxen hair, but she was well-maintained. She welcomed Tia in.

Her father, engineer Karl Ryan, was dressed in a typical worker's outfit, his skin rough and slightly dark from the wind and sun. He picked up Scarlett's sister and invited Tia to sit down first.

Mrs. Temir called Scarlett over again and asked in confusion: "Scarlett, is this your friend? How come I have never seen him before? Are you doing anything bad?"

"You're working at the police station now, so you can't just do things like kidnapping or deceiving people!"

Scarlett hesitated, not knowing what to say.

She couldn't say that this was a messenger from some great being in the deep sea, right?

Who understands what I'm saying?

Seeing this, Tia waved and said, "Scarlett! How is your work at the police station going? I heard Kurd said you were going to be assigned overseas, right?"

Speaking of this, the Ryans were slightly stunned.
