Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

"Because he took my things."

Ciel said, "And I, want to recycle that thing...it's that simple."

"Because it's not his, when he uses it, he won't have any memory of it. He can only rely on certain things to remind himself that time has gone back... like his fingers."

When Charles mentioned the keyword "finger", Vitalis almost completely believed what Charles said.

Because, before Qiang Yin left, his fingers had indeed begun to break and weather...

Isn't it about predicting the future?

But even so, Qiang Yin used this ability to the extreme.

Especially since he founded the Royal Music, the entire Ansu Empire has been developing at an extremely fast pace. In more than a hundred years, it has developed into the world's number one empire, with imperial warships all over the ocean and countless overseas colonies.

It can be said that Qiang Yin definitely accounts for 90% of the credit for Anzu’s current imperial status.

But it was this person who made Princess Vitalis feel fear.

Because of his almost perverted desire for war and control.

Princess Vitalis has traveled to countless countries and visited many colonies. She has witnessed the bloody suppression of the Ansu army and the slave transport ships where almost all the slaves died of the plague and became ghost ships... The evil deeds she has done can only be said to be innumerable.

Vitalis had witnessed several rebellions and even prepared to liberate certain places himself, but these were easily broken up... as if they had been foreseen in advance.

Now, what Ciel said in front of her gave Vitalis a concrete idea of ​​the power of the powerful sound...but she didn't know how to deal with this power.

Even if it wasn't foresight, a Level 4 being able to rewind time was already terrifying enough...

but.

Vitalis had never felt so clearly as he did now that the red-haired girl in front of him seemed to really have a way to stop the strong sound.

"You came to me because you need me to help you with something?"

Vitalis finally let down her guard, her expression gradually calmed down, and she looked at Charles and asked.

Ciel: "I need you to tell me everything you know about Qiang Yin—everything he doesn't do that makes sense, even the smallest details."

"detail……"

Hearing this, Vita seemed to have a picture in her mind all of a sudden.

There are indeed many special things about Qiang Yin - the most creepy thing is his chaotic mental state.

He often casually mentions things that have never happened, and only when others remind him does he realize that these things have never happened... He seems to have a confused memory of everything he has experienced.

Vita had seen it with her own eyes. After she reminded Qiang Yin that there had been no riot in a certain place, Qiang Yin calmly said, "I remembered it wrongly," and then took out his spiritual notebook to record the incident.

Hearing Vita talk about this, Charles almost instantly understood what had happened to Qiang Yin.

Certain flashbacks might be inserted chaotically into his memory in the form of mumbling or memory fragments...

If this continues, his perception of time and memory will gradually become distorted, so he has to rely on recording to eliminate the false memories...

This is most likely not a side effect of that "uniqueness".

Because Ciel was sure that if she activated this ability in her pocket watch, she would never lose her memories before the rewind - because she retained her memories now.

Qiang Yin's use of "uniqueness" was disordered... or rather, he was simply forcing it, and therefore suffered severe side effects - such as chaotic and disordered memories, and weathered fingers.

Before leaving, Charles saw the densely packed sutured wounds on his body. Those were most likely the side effects of his repeated use of "uniqueness".

Charles once again fixed his gaze on Vitalis and slowly said, "Next, I have two more questions."

"Just ask."

Vitalis and Charles looked at each other, and there was no fear in her eyes at this moment.

"Why are you helping me?"

Ciel said, "Qian Yin is also a member of the royal family, and you will be the heir to the royal family in the future... Why would you help an 'outsider' like me to fight against the royal family?"

Charles needs Vita to give a reasonable reason, otherwise she will not be able to fully trust Vita.

Because a plan to kill Qiang Yin had just emerged in Charles' mind, but this plan required the help of Vitalis.

How to get close to the strong sound, how to make the strong sound appear... these are all problems.

If he hid until the end of the simulation, or if he kept the people of the Queen's Sword by his side and just hid in the rear to play the piano to boost morale, Charles would have no way to deal with him.

Princess Vitalis is a good point to lure him out.

Therefore, she had to make sure that Vitalis was trustworthy before she could use the plan she had just thought of.

Vitalis fell silent when he heard Charles' question.

Her experience of traveling around the world told her that Ansu's high-pressure rule was a kind of rule that was like walking on the edge of a cliff, equivalent to walking on a tightrope, and the prosperity of the empire was maintained by war and exploitation.

Any mistake will lead to the inevitable decline of the empire.

Whenever he thought of the slave transport "ghost ship" he encountered when he was at sea, and looked at the rotting and suffering corpses on the ship, Vitalis would question himself whether all this was right.

When Charles asked her this time, she finally realized what she really wanted.

"I am the eldest princess of the United Kingdom of Ansu and North Ansu, and the future heir to the royal family."

Vitalis looked at Charles, and after a moment of silence, he continued:

"The current Ansu is more like the Ansu of the Strong Voice than the Ansu of the Vitalis Royal Family. I... don't want to become a new puppet."

"I want to be the new queen of Anzu—in a royal court that I control, with the empire run according to my will."

When Vitalis said these words, his aura continued to rise. In a trance, Charles looked at Vitalis in front of him, and it seemed that he was not looking at a princess, but a queen of an empire who truly had power over the world.

"Even if Qiangyin is your father?"

Charles asked back.

"A ruler should be judged on whether he or she can bring prosperity and peace to his or her people, not on his or her origins."

Vitalis smiled faintly, "Legally, my father is a prince."

Charles had already seen the political ambition hidden beneath Princess Vitalis's seemingly calm appearance. At least in her mentality... she was a natural ruler.

It's no wonder that she had planned to help the Orlando Republican Army rebel. Princess Vitalis also wanted to win the hearts of the people of Bei'ansu - even if it would cause the deaths of another group of people.

She has a kind heart towards the common people, but at the same time she is well aware of the bloody struggle for power and has a ruthless hand. It is unknown whether such a ruler is good or bad for Ansu.

However, it can be proved that she does have the motivation to resist Qiang Yin.

"last question."

Charles looked at Vitalis in front of him and spoke.

"Give me a secret code. Even if I go back to the past, you will believe what I say after hearing it. Only you and I know it."

Yes, Charles needed such a secret code, just like the secret code he used with Julis, which could make Julis trust him unconditionally at the first moment.

This can save Charles a lot of time.

After hearing Ciel's question, Vitalis was silent for a moment. She looked at Ciel and said, "You can just call me Your Highness the Fox. I'll probably believe anything you say next."

In the Ansu aristocratic circle, from top to bottom, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to use the word "fox" to describe such a princess.

Charles speculated that the name came from an ancient fable. Avina also mentioned it to Charles in a casual chat, saying that "fox" is a metaphor, referring to a politically "unreachable" target.

Therefore, Vitalis came up with such a self-deprecating name, which shows her seemingly unattainable ambition. Anyone who dared to use this word to her must be someone who knew what she was planning.

After all, no normal person would think that a princess needs to plan anything, because the throne will be hers sooner or later.

"receive."

Ciel snapped his fingers softly, and the illusion ended.

Vitalis, who was lying on the piano, slowly opened her eyes, sat up straight, and the blanket on her body slipped off.

She turned her head to look in the direction of the maid, only to find that a red-haired girl was already standing behind the maid, and the maid seemed unaware of this.

"Your Highness Vita, are you awake?"

The maid took two steps forward, folded up the blanket, and asked, "Do you need to go back to your room to rest?"

"It's okay, go out first and let me be alone."

Vitalis waved his hand.

But just as the maid walked out of the room, Vitalis' ears moved slightly, as if he heard something.

"Qiang Yin will find you again."

Vitalis quickly opened the piano lid and began to play quickly. She turned to look in Charles' direction and said, "I will affect his perception here, but he will definitely come over to ask me what happened... You have to leave quickly!"

Charles quickly walked over to Vitalis and leaned over to say, "Before four o'clock this afternoon, I will create some noise in the Holy Cathedral area... Then, you will find a way to lure Qiang Yin over here."

"If all else fails, tie up Windsor and bring him along... He'll definitely come over when he knows Windsor has been taken away."

Kidnapping Windsor... that would indeed arouse the wrath of the Strong Voice.

But...will she go?

Isn't this a clear fight against the strong voice?

If she loses, she will definitely be placed under house arrest and become a puppet for the rest of her life, never having to think about turning things around again.

Seeing Vitalis's serious hesitation, Charles continued in Vitalis's ear: "As long as you kill Qiang Yin and go back to the past, he will forget everything. He won't remember what you did..."

"Even if he does recall it, you just need to say it never happened..."

"I need to lure him away, get his spiritual notes, and discover his weakness."

"Let's take a gamble, Princess Vitalis..."

A pink halo flickered in Ciel's pupils. This time, she directly used the ability of "Subverter"... Combined with the "Art of Conversation", Vitalis's originally hesitant heart was slowly becoming firm.

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you."

Vitalis nodded.

The next moment, Charles' figure disappeared from the spot, completely disappearing without a trace.

……

In the Sainte-Church district, Charles and Lucy walked quickly between the shacks and soon stopped in front of a dilapidated shack.

"how do you know……"

Lucy, who reeked of alcohol, hadn't finished her words when she saw Charles knocking on the door of the shed at a certain rhythm.

An old man opened the door. After seeing Lucy beside him, he didn't notice anything unusual and opened the door directly to let them in.

Seeing how familiar Ciel was with the place, Lucy shuddered slightly.

How did she know her underground hiding place... She is worthy of being called a "subversive", how much more does she know?

Ciel walked quickly downstairs and went straight to the basement room where Adele and Amy lived. She opened the door, walked around Amy who was lying on the ground, and picked up the research notes on Adele's desk.

In case the kill fails, she must carry this note with her so that she can redeem it after going out.

After putting away their research notes, Amy and Adele were also awakened by the sound, and now they looked at Charles with confused expressions.

Charles retreated to the door, looked at Lucy who followed him, and said, "Now, take Adele to find Avina, and then take them both to the East District, out of the city, to the Ham Wasteland Highlands outside, and wait for my next move."

"Tell Avina this is very important. Make sure she follows me and trust me."

"Now, take them and go."

"Amy, come with me."

After instructing Lucy, Charles walked out of the room, quickly opened the secret door, and pulled Amy, who was still half asleep and not fully awake, into the sewer. They walked quickly along the stone path towards the underground hideout of the Holy Advent Sect.

At this point, Tara and the others are probably still holding a prison break meeting, and Charles needs to borrow the power of the Holy Advent Sect.

Instead of letting them fight directly against the 3rd level...

This time, Charles still planned to make a sacrifice.

The loss of the skill [Spiritual Summoning] does not mean that Charles cannot perform summoning.

At the beginning, when Charles was still the "instigator", he had drawn countless different summoning formations in the simulation.

[Spiritual Summoning] will automatically draw a precise blood array based on the different sacrifices to correspond to the different spiritual creatures in the other world.

Looking back, the blood formation from before had already been firmly engraved in Charles' mind.

As long as the blood array and the sacrifices match completely, Charles can repeat the summoning... but this time, she may not be able to summon half a dark insect's heart... and the summoner cannot be her, she cannot be affected by the other world again.

In order to replicate the last summoning, Level 4 Eleanor must be present. It was not difficult for Charles to fool Eleanor, so she brought Amy with her to make the trick absolutely quick.
