Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

Lucy followed Nia and looked at the environment of the manor curiously.

She still didn't know why the eldest daughter of the Russell family invited her here. So far, she had only met her twice.

One time was when I first arrived in Buren City. I found the other party immediately, explained my purpose and briefly mentioned what I wanted to do.

This is not only to make the other party let down their guard, but also to allow the other party to cooperate with their own actions a little and to obtain some intelligence.

The second time was at the banquet on June 6th. They met again, exchanged some information, and offered the Deton Group's apology - after all, the eldest daughter of the Russell family was also present when the incident at Deton Manor happened.

Through these two contacts, Lucy had a rough idea of ​​what kind of person the other person was.

She is a very shrewd person, and is very efficient in both speaking and doing things. She speaks to people without any emotion, just talking about the facts - of course, this attitude will offend some people, but Lucy likes to work with people who don't talk nonsense.

If Lucy hadn't known that the eldest daughter of the Russell family had been promoted to the second-level "psychologist", she would have thought that she had chosen the path of "killer" or "detective".

But it's a shame... How could such a talented young woman choose the "Listener" path? If she had chosen the "Detective" path, she would definitely be the next head of the Russell family.

Rumor has it that she has some conflicts with her family... but no one knows what kind of conflicts they are.

The Tin Man in front of her stopped, and Lucy also stopped.

Now she was standing at the door of the study on the second floor. After the tin man in front of her opened the door, Lucy nodded slightly to her and then walked in.

"Ms. Silfa."

Avina stood up, extended her right hand, and said, "Thank you for your invitation. Welcome."

Lucy walked a little faster, took off her gloves, gently shook the other person's right hand, and said, "It is my honor to be Miss Russell's guest."

"Please take a seat."

When Lucy sat down, she saw three cups of steaming black tea on the table.

Three cups?

Who else is coming?

Leopold? Ashford?

Lucy took off her mask and placed it on the table in front of her. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. Seeing that Avina hadn't brought up the topic yet, she said, "Excuse me, Miss Russell, what did you ask me to do?"

"I'm just a middleman,"

Avina shook her head and said, "It's not me who wants to see you, but a... friend of mine."

Lucy noticed that when Miss Russell mentioned the word "friend", she showed obvious hesitation and uncertainty, and even the expression on her face changed slightly.

Logically speaking, someone of Miss Russell's level could tell a lie easily, so how could her expression change?

unless……

She and that person were not "friends", but rather had a hostile relationship... She could tell who Miss Russell had a grudge against.

For example, that royal villain, Opold.

It can be seen from the previous banquet that Avina is a little troubled, and even though Opold has a fiancée, he still wants to stick to the eldest daughter of the Russell family like a sticky candy.

She is not someone who can be fooled by sweet words.

But the person who wants to see him this time is definitely not Opold.

Because she had already divined before she came, the card said "Page", a young or neutral person. According to Lucy's own interpretation, it was a young woman, which had nothing to do with Opold.

Moreover, the Tarot cards told her... this was a meeting that would be extremely rewarding.

Generally, when this type of card appears when Lucy is fortune-telling, it means that the money she has to earn must be at least more than 2000 pounds...it would be a waste not to make money.

"Is it Opold?"

Lucy put down her teacup and slightly suppressed the smile on her face. "I heard he recently moved out of Clocktower Alley? He seemed quite disheveled, covered in black mud and a face full of stubble."

Although she knew it wasn't Opold, Lucy didn't mind humiliating him in front of Miss Russell, as it would still help increase her favorability a little.

"not him……"

Avina shook her head, turned her head to look in the direction of the bookshelf, and said, "Charles? A guest is here."

Charles?

Who?

Which noble? What's her surname? A wealthy merchant's daughter? Mysterious and extraordinary?

The moment she heard the name, many possibilities flashed through Lucy's mind. Familiar faces of important people quickly turned over in her mind, but she still couldn't find a similar name.

and many more?

Is there always a fourth person in the study?

Apart from Avina in front of her and Nia waiting by the door, Lucy did not feel the breath of the fourth extraordinary person at all.

Step, step...

There was a sound of footsteps. Lucy looked in the direction of the sound and saw a red-haired girl wearing a silver mask that even covered her eyes, walking towards the sofa.

Who...is this?

Ordinary people?

Could it be that the old man in the family lost all his fortune in the casino and owed high debts to loan sharks and came to beg for mercy... No, Miss Russell would not be involved in such a tasteless thing.

It wasn't until the red-haired girl sat down in the seat opposite her that Lucy took a deep breath and was about to speak, but the girl opposite her spoke first.

"Ms. Silfa."

The girl spoke slowly, a dull voice echoing from behind the iron mask. "Nice to meet you. My name is Charles. I was also present at Deton Manor that day... As a member, I have some opinions that I would like to raise with your company."

Member? Was she also at Durton Manor during the incident with the Holy Advent Cult?

Lucy suppressed her doubts and said, "We deeply apologize for what happened that day... As for your opinion..."

"The Death Roulette method is a bit too old-fashioned,"

The iron-masked girl said with a smile, "I have a few immature plans here for Miss Sylfa's reference..."

As the girl continued to talk, Lucy gradually put aside her doubts and began to concentrate.

A new version of Death Roulette? Add props... You can even check if the next round is a blank or a live round? It really adds a lot of fun to the spectators...

This also makes gambling more like a game, which is definitely a little helpful in digesting the "Gambler" potion.

But what came later... the girl's idea about the "Deton Game" made Lucy applaud, and she even wrote it down in her notebook.

It doesn’t even matter what the game is, what’s important is this whole set of modes… This is simply a perfect mode for producing “gamblers”. Anyone who survives the game, as long as they have a little bit of spirituality, can almost digest the “gambler” potion and become a transcendent.

Moreover, betting outside of the game can also allow Deton Manor to earn a lot of extra income... Those nobles and wealthy businessmen must be very interested in this.

This is a new-age "Colosseum" that perfectly fits the Deton Manor.

"Thank you so much, Miss Charles,"

Lucy put down the notepad in her hand and said sincerely, "I will send these suggestions to headquarters overnight. If they are adopted, there will definitely be a generous bonus. May I ask for Miss Ciel's address?"

Now Lucy has begun to think about attracting the girl named Ciel.

This guy can definitely digest the "Gambler" potion perfectly.

As long as you can survive the difficult "Messenger of Misfortune", becoming the "One of Destiny" is only a matter of time.

If she knew the other person's address, she would have a rough idea of ​​his background and relationships in real life.

"Forget the reward,"

Ciel still had a smile on her face, but now she had placed her hand on her mask. She slowly said, "Ms. Lucy, please be prepared. Your spiritual alarm may... go off slightly."

Lucy: "Hmm?"

In Lucy's sight, the iron mask was slowly removed, revealing the dark red pupils...

The moment she looked directly into those pupils, she felt a flash before her eyes. The normal girl in front of her became a disordered line, and a violent buzzing sounded in Lucy's head.

rub--

Lucy stood up straight suddenly and put her right hand on her waist, but soon she sat down again, panting.

Lucy's back was soaked with cold sweat at some point, and she looked at the girl in front of her in disbelief.

Looking directly into her dark red pupils now, he no longer felt the shock he felt when he first saw her, but the fear lingering in his heart still lingered.

"I'm sorry, I...lost my composure."

Lucy reached out and picked up the cup on the table, drinking the tea in it.

At this time, Avina looked at Lucy and then at Charles with some confusion.

Ciel didn't have any sealed items on him, so why did Miss Lucy stand at attention?

At this time, Lucy also felt that it was a fairy tale... She was afraid of ordinary people and no one would believe such a thing if she told others about it.

Was I hallucinating from taking too much snuff? Was the snuff I just smoked spiked with ingredients?

Miss Ciel in front of her had a kind smile on her face. She looked like a beautiful girl who was at least easier to approach than Avina, but Lucy still couldn't erase the fear in her heart and could only avoid looking at her for too long.

"Miss Lucy, let's talk business."

Seeing that Lucy had almost recovered, Ciel said, "The 'subversive' of the Pleasure Society has arrived in Burren City."

Lucy: "Huh?"

Lucy, who had just recovered, had her brain freeze for a moment.

It's a bit strange to hear the word "disruptor" spoken by ordinary people, but...

"How could the Pleasure Society's 'subversive' be exposed... Miss Charles, where did you get this information?"

Lucy shook her head, clearly unconvinced.

What do you think of "disruptors"? You can see one or two on the street.

There are many historical events that were only re-examined long after they occurred, and it was discovered that there may have been a subversive person behind them... If the whereabouts of the "subversive person" can be traced, then it would be better for him to die.

"According to reliable intelligence from the organization...it is indeed the case,"

Ciel said, "The 'Subversive', codenamed 'Keyman', has arrived in the city of Burren."

"Group...organization?"

Lucy looked at Avina with some confusion and asked, "What organization?"

Avina glanced at Ciel, and after seeing Ciel nod, Avina looked in Lucy's direction and said:

"The organization behind Miss Ciel has excellent intelligence capabilities. They even knew about the existence of the Holy Advent sect at Deton Manor... in advance."

"what?"

Lucy shifted her gaze from Avina to Ciel and said in a lost voice, "You knew about it in advance? But why didn't you tell the group..."

"There's a traitor in the group, Lucy-sama,"

Ciel simply smiled and shook his head, explaining, "We've already taken the approach of minimizing casualties to help you deal with those cultists."

You guys... handled it?

No wonder so many cultists died on the spot. It turns out there is a secret organization plotting behind the scenes.

And from the expression on Miss Russell's face, it can be inferred that she completely trusts the mysterious man named Charles, and it is very likely that she has even witnessed the capabilities of his organization...

correct……

Miss Charles said that she was also present when the incident happened at Deton Manor...

So Miss Russell and Miss Shire were involved in the incident there together... No wonder we couldn't find out what happened after all this investigation...

She is definitely not an ordinary person...

Lucy reacted instantly.

She looked up at the smiling red-haired girl, suppressed the inexplicable fear that kept rising in her heart, took a deep breath, and said:

"I won't tell anyone about our conversation this afternoon, Miss Charles."

He had invited me over, displayed an ability I was completely unfamiliar with, and told me such a secret... It was obvious that everything that had just happened was just a test of my abilities.

She had already learned the secret of that hidden organization, and the other party didn't seem to care at all that she knew it. Lucy was sure that the other party had a backup plan.

Otherwise, it would be impossible that we have not heard any news about this organization until now.

But at this moment, the excitement that surged in her heart had overwhelmed Lucy's fear. She finally understood what the dangers and rewards were that the original Tarot card layout had hinted at.
