Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

This time he came to Ansu, most likely to summon an angel above the Holy Spirit... and the weak Holy Spirit before was at most a small greeting gift to those extraordinary people in Ansu.

It’s a pity that the Mother Goddess’s human body is a little weak, and it will probably take some time to recuperate before it can continue to be summoned.

"Tara, do you have a place to stay in Anzu?"

Ciel looked in Tara's direction and spoke, interrupting her thoughts.

"Yes, Sir Ciel."

Tara nodded, "I'll take you there."

Tara didn't seem to be very familiar with Ansu. She took Charles through the streets and alleys for almost 30 minutes before they found a familiar, busy road.

However, while walking, Charles also learned about the structure of Ansu from Tara.

The entire Ansu can actually be roughly divided into two areas.

One is Ansu City, and the other is Da'ansu District.

Ansu City is the core of Ansu, with an area of ​​about 1.12 square suris, or 2.9 square kilometers. It is the historical core area and the financial and commercial center of the country of Ansu.

The Da'an Soviet Area was divided into several large blocks, such as the prosperous West District, the East District where poor people lived, and the South Bank District along the river. These large blocks were further divided into many small areas.

Each small area is larger than the Clock Tower Lane area in Burren City.

Before, Charles had no concrete idea of ​​the size of Anzu. Now that he truly knew the hugeness of this capital, his mind immediately became active.

“How many people are there in the entire Ansu Capital District?”

Ciel asked, looking at Tara.

"This……"

This sudden question seemed to stump Tara. After struggling for a moment, she said:

"Ten or twenty years ago, it was probably... around two million? Since the railway was opened, the population has been so mobile, so the population must have increased significantly in the past twenty years. I'm sorry, Master Ciel, I don't know the exact number..."

Because Tara couldn't answer Charles' question accurately, she lowered her head slightly, revealing a slightly ashamed expression.

"Didn't Anzu City release any census data?"

Ciel asked with some confusion.

"Ansu does have census registrars, but they only register people with a fixed residence. Furthermore, many people fill out the form randomly because they don't trust the census takers, so the final count results will be very different."

Tara replied.

It's not that she was making excuses for Ansu's census takers. Population statistics is a very complicated issue that requires the government to have extremely strong credibility and integrated dispatch capabilities. It is almost impossible to obtain perfect data.

Not to mention, the literacy rate of many workers and families is extremely low, and they are unable to fill out the forms themselves. In order to save trouble, many census takers are too lazy to go to the slums to conduct surveys and fill out the forms themselves. This is also a major influencing factor.

After explaining this to Charles, Tara added, "Do you need this data? I can try to get my people... and the students at the monastery to help with the census, but honestly, the census is still very difficult..."

"It's really difficult."

Charles thought about the population data of Burren City and nodded.

That would require extremely bad luck to achieve.

"We are here, Lord Ciel. This is it."

Tara stood in front of a two-story building and said, "This is where I stay in Ansu."

This is a residence near the West District, southwest of Ansu. There is a river opposite the residence. It looks like a pretty good residential area.

After waiting for Tara to open the door, Charles walked in. She reached out and took out a notebook from her arms.

This is the spiritual note of the Key Man.

If I go back to reality to exchange the notes for investigation, I will waste some destiny points. It would be better to let Tara help me decipher the spiritual imprint while there is still some time.

The question of how to crack the spiritual mark involved Charles's blind spot in knowledge. She didn't even know how to mark the notes.

Although she has done a lot of things, she is still a novice in the supernatural field. Even if she is knowledgeable in front of a complete newbie like Amy, she is still a rookie in front of Tara, who has been immersed in the supernatural field for many years.

"This is the Keyman's notes. Please read it for me. I'll take a break."

After Charles handed the notebook to Tara, he sat directly on the sofa in the living room, leaning his back against the sofa, squinting his eyes, as if he was taking a rest.

At this time, Tara was standing beside Charles, holding the spiritual notes which were still slightly warm in her hands, and her hands felt a little shaking.

This notebook... where did the Mother Goddess take it from?

There's even the Mother Goddess's body temperature on it...

After swallowing hard, Tara nodded slightly and said:

"……OK."

"The spiritual mark on it has not been removed yet. Please wait, Master Ciel."

Tara held the notebook in both hands, as if holding some holy object, slowly raised it up, and pressed the notebook against her forehead while it was still hot.

A holy white light lit up from the contact surface between Tara's forehead and the key man's spiritual notes. Several white shadows emerged from Tara's shadow, stretched out their hands, and went deep into the shadow of the notebook.

Charles glanced at Tara secretly, nodded slightly, and remembered the key points.

Put your forehead against it, breathe deeply, and use your ability… Maybe you can save some destiny points by being able to decipher the spiritual notes yourself in the future.

Charles continued to observe Tara's performance, and his originally squinted eyelids gradually became heavy.

The massive blood loss had begun to make Charles feel dizzy, and now he relaxed and slowly closed his eyes.

I don’t know how long it was, but after hearing Tara’s light footsteps, Charles suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

At this moment, Tara was tiptoeing to place the completely cold notebook on the table. Seeing that Charles was awakened by her, she quickly picked up the notebook with both hands, held it in front of her chest, and said haltingly:

"Master Ciel... I've finished cracking it and was just about to put it away. I'm sorry... I disturbed your rest."

"fine……"

Charles shook his head and glanced at the system time. He was only dizzy for about an hour, which was completely within Charles' tolerance.

"Quite fast."

Ciel nodded and praised.

But Charles' words sounded like thunder in Tara's ears. She lowered her head in panic and began to explain:

"I'm sorry, Master Ciel. I haven't deciphered the spiritual notes for a long time. My speed is a little slow. I am willing to accept any punishment you have."

Can it be faster?

Charles looked at Tara in surprise and asked, "How long did it take you to crack it?"

"'Missionaries' have a certain advantage in breaking the spiritual notes. This is just a simple seal. If the owner of the notes can remove it, it may not even take a second. And after that, others can also read it."

"If you forcibly decipher the code while the owner is away, they will notice. A normal Transcendent below Level 3 might need a whole day to decipher it, but spiritually-focused methods like 'Preacher' or 'Psychologist' might only take 30 minutes."

Tara seemed to think that Charles was blaming her for being too slow, and explained hurriedly.

After all, she had really made a mistake in front of the Mother Goddess just now, because her own selfish desires had wasted the Mother Goddess's precious time.

"Ah."

Charles nodded, reached out to Tara, pulled the spiritual notes from her hand, and began to read through them.

Charles read through the daily trivialities at the beginning very quickly, until he read some matters related to this incident at the end, then he slowed down his reading speed a little and started thinking.

So the Key Person has been marginalized within the Pleasure Society? After her guide died, there wasn't even anyone who could help her read her spiritual notes.

This time, the Key Man is eager to accomplish something big, not only to resist the invasion of the potion, but also to regain the recognition of the Pleasure Club.

But judging by the messy handwriting and the Pleasure Society's attitude towards her... Ciel actually felt that the Pleasure Society was treating the Keyholder, who was eager to prove herself, as a joke, watching her jump around like a monkey, and paying no attention...

However, the key holder, as the person involved, did not seem to notice this.

Because she simply couldn't think from the perspective of a true "instigator". Her mind had already been distracted, and there was no way she could successfully digest the potion.

Moreover, Charles also captured an important piece of information.

Burren City wasn't the Joy Club's real target; it was just one of the missions assigned to the Key Master...

It seems that their real purpose is just to involve the Savior Goddess Church so that they cannot take care of the other side's affairs.

On the other hand, there was the Bei'ansu famine.

Was the Joy Club also involved in the Great Famine?

The main dioceses of the Savior Goddess Church are basically in some poor and backward areas, especially Bei'ansu, which is considered the rear base of the Savior Goddess Church.

When the great famine occurred, the Savior Goddess Church had been seeking assistance from the Ansu high-level officials, and constantly violated the Queen's ban and continuously transported supplies to North Ansu.

It was precisely because these supplies were believed to be used on the Orlan Republican Army that several relief homes in Bei'ansu were ordered to be demolished by the nobles, and even the porridge factory was closed.

Combined with the situation described in the letter sent to me by Adele in Bei'ansu in the previous simulation...

The number of people who are going to die in Bei'ansu is probably several times, or even dozens of times, the population of Buren City.

Is this a re-enactment ritual that a high-ranking member of the Joy Club is about to perform?

Or, are they helping some powerful person from other sources to perform the reappearance ritual?

In any case, the Joy Club is definitely related to the Great Famine.

Charles looked at the notebook in his hand, his expression gradually becoming serious.

She originally thought that as long as she got rid of the key man and then moved to Ansu, she would be safer.

It now seems that there is a question mark over whether the capital Ansu is safe or not.

But no matter what, the Keyman must die.

Not just because of the evil she had committed, and wanted to commit.

Also, Avina's name appeared in her plan.

Avina, at the top of her hit list.

This was something Charles could never allow to happen.

Moreover, in the front of the spiritual notes, the Key Person wrote about her own itinerary, and there was a part of the itinerary where Charles could definitely encounter her - and, from the spiritual notes, Charles also learned the identity that the Key Person used to disguise herself and her real name.

Lydia Ashcroft.

From now until a month ago, she would only appear in this identity once in Burren City, and Charles must seize that opportunity...

Kill her directly.

Chapter 163: “Subverter” is so useful!

Tara stood there with her head down, feeling a little uneasy. From time to time, she would secretly glance at Charles who was sitting next to her, and then quickly look away, for fear of being discovered.

What should I do? The Mother Goddess's eyes are becoming more and more terrifying...

Did I make the Mother Goddess feel worse?

Just when Tara was about to commit suicide to apologize, the voice of the Mother Goddess sounded again. This time, the Mother Goddess's tone seemed to have returned to normal.

"Tell me about your understanding of Ansu, such as the few extraordinary people you just met."

Charles closed the notebook in his hand and looked in Tara's direction.

There are only a few hours left, which is only enough to cause some minor damage. It's not a big deal. He might be arrested directly because he is not familiar with Ansu's power relations. It is better to spend the remaining time steadily and get some information from Tara.

Tara only took a quick glance at the few extraordinary people when they were evacuated into the city among the crowd at the station. She didn't see them all, but she remembered two of them.

The Mother Goddess certainly wasn't trying to know their identities or anything like that, but was more interested in understanding them from her own perspective.

So Tara picked a person she was familiar with and started talking about it.

After pondering her words for a moment, she said, "I know a little more about Eleanor, the 'Saint of Heavenly Punishment' from the Savior Cult."

"If we only consider her faith in the Savior Goddess Church, she is extremely loyal. However, like most other members of the Savior Goddess Church, she simply ignorantly worships the new doctrines, viewing the teachings of the Savior Goddess Church as the supreme truth, and has strayed from her original pure faith in the Mother Goddess."

As she spoke, Tara did not forget to step on the Savior Goddess Cult.

"We in the Holy Advent sect are extremely disgusted by their ungrateful behavior. They even consider those who don't believe in the Mother Goddess and simply follow the teachings to be faithful believers. What's the logic behind this?"

After a brief pause, and not seeing any other expression on the Mother Goddess's face, Tara continued:

"She's the Archbishop of the Inquisition and one of its leaders. She's presided over numerous crackdowns on the Holy Advent Cult, significantly damaging the relationship among the Mother Goddess' followers. I heard that within the Inquisition, she's known as the 'Dark Worm Preacher.'"
