Miss Witch's Speed Run Manual
Page 289
During this interrogation, Mond revealed her purpose - she wanted to perfect her reappearance ritual and use cholera to kill 20,000 to 30,000 people in the East District.
But when I simulated for the first time, I paid close attention to the information in the newspaper, and there was no news about cholera at all.
She failed, and the reason was unknown.
It is possible that the Strong Voice or the Church of the God of Order discovered and stopped Mond's cholera plan in order to maintain stability.
It's also possible that the cholera outbreak had just begun to spread when it was suppressed by the Redemptionists...
"Sir Charles."
Seeing that Charles had not spoken for a long time, Eleanor called him directly, as if she had something urgent to ask Charles.
"what happened?"
Ciel looked at Eleanor in front of him.
"Thank you very much for your help to the Savior Cult this time... If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even know that Qiang Yin wanted to wipe us out like this..."
Eleanor paused for a moment and looked at Avina beside her.
As if he had guessed what Eleanor was worried about, Charles said directly: "Don't worry, just tell me, Avina is mine..."
This name seemed to make Avina feel a little unhappy, but her expression did not change, and she did not embarrass Charles in front of outsiders.
"You know, this continent hasn't seen any new 'uniqueness' emerge in a long time. Qiang Yin carries 'uniqueness' with him, and it seems that his 'uniqueness' and yours come from the same source..."
Eleanor looked at Charles in front of her and continued, "Is the 'uniqueness' in you the one that appeared in the previous life..."
“****.”
Charles didn't answer.
"You misunderstood. We have no concept of 'uniqueness,'"
Eleanor noticed Ciel's wariness and said, "We're looking for your cooperation."
"We have a common enemy—strong sound."
"If you and your organization help us fight against the Strong Sound and other organizations that want to destroy the Savior Goddess Cult, we will do our utmost to help you... If we obtain the 'Uniqueness' afterwards, we will give it to you with both hands."
Charles listened to Eleanor's words and shook his head with a smile.
"The Joy Society, the Cult of Order, the Royal Movement... so many people are eyeing you covetously."
Ciel looked at Eleanor's faceless mask and asked, "What gives you the confidence to come to me for cooperation?"
"I won't cooperate with you. The only one I want to fight is Qiang Yin."
"Cooperating with you means offending several other organizations as well."
"What conditions do you...have to discuss cooperation with me?"
Charles looked at Eleanor in front of him, waiting for her answer.
221
Chapter 221: The softest form that falls down with a push.
This was a secret meeting. The heavy curtains had been drawn and the room was lit entirely by oil lamps and gas lamps. Although the lighting was soft, it seemed a bit depressing in this atmosphere.
"We will cooperate with you with all our sincerity. This is what we have determined after the joint interrogation of the Strong Voice consciousness. This conversation I have with you represents not only the voices of the Inquisition, but also the voices of most of the high-ranking officials within the Savior Goddess Cult."
Eleanor seemed to be trying her best to gain Charles's help and continued, "If possible, I would like to invite you to attend the next Vatican meeting."
Charles didn't say anything else, just yawned lightly and nodded slightly.
But her nod did not mean agreement, instead it looked like she was about to fall asleep.
Eleanor did not directly respond to the question raised by Charles just now, and Charles chose the most labor-saving method - responding in silence.
Silence is a powerful negotiation technique.
Well-timed silence can put pressure on the other party, forcing them to provide more information or make more favorable concessions.
Charles knew that even if the Church of the Goddess of Savior did not mention it, Charles himself had to resolve the issues of the Church of the God of Order, the Faros Medical Society, and the Pleasure Society.
These organizations are not only targeting the Savior Cult, their actions also pose a threat to Charles.
But these things are unknown to the Church of the Savior Goddess. Charles wants to take advantage of this information gap to create more favorable conditions for himself in the negotiations.
The atmosphere fell into silence. Avina was very accustomed to this kind of conversation scene. She just rang the bell to call the maid and asked her to bring snacks and black tea.
The entry of an ordinary maid is considered an intermission, so as not to completely cool down the atmosphere of the entire negotiation and damage the harmony.
The time spent serving tea and snacks also allows the party under pressure to have enough time to think about how to make new conditions.
After all, this is just a cooperative negotiation, not a hostile high-pressure negotiation, so there is no need to exert such strong pressure.
Besides, Avina did feel that Charles was sleepy again, so she wanted a cup of warm black tea to refresh her.
It was not until the maid served the snacks and tea and left the living room that Eleanor, who had been hesitating about something, finally looked up in the direction of Charles.
"Sir, there is something I want to confirm."
Eleanor spoke.
But Charles did not respond, and Eleanor did not wait for Charles's response, but said directly:
"Qianyin's ability allows him to rewind time... Earlier, at the abandoned factory, you said you knew how he would rewind time. Qiangyin's 'uniqueness' component can't preserve memories, but your 'uniqueness' body can..."
Charles raised his eyes slightly, looked at Eleanor in front of him, and said: "So?"
At this moment, Charles probably understood what Eleanor wanted to do.
Eleanor is a member of the Church of the Savior Goddess and is in the Tribunal of the Church of the Savior Goddess.
Compared to the Pope and other cardinals of the Church of the Savior, there is still a certain degree of fundamentalist thinking within the Inquisition - after all, their approach has been very extreme since the beginning of "Avengers".
Specifically, they still maintain a primitive worship of Saint Dark Worm, and believe that the Inquisition is to the Church of the Savior Goddess what the Dark Worm is to the goddess.
Now they are extremely devoted to the teachings of the Savior Goddess, but the more extreme they are, the more likely they are to accept classical teachings, classical literature and traditional beliefs.
That's why in the previous simulation, Eleanor didn't have much rejection of the Holy Advent sect that emphasized returning to the faith in the Mother Goddess, and even wanted to promote the integration of sects. This is because they, like the Holy Advent sect, have a strong sense of identity with their own belief system.
This is a kind of belief that one feels that one's own belief is the only correct one - Tara is a leader in this regard. Once she determines that Charles is the Mother Goddess, no matter what Charles does, she can interpret and explain the rationality of Charles' behavior through different doctrines.
Eleanor, the Inquisition, or most of the people who still retain their faith in the goddess, will directly fall into Charles' camp after learning that the servants of God, saints and even the goddess will still appear, just like in the simulation.
This is what makes them different from the Church of the God of Order. The God of the Church of the God of Order is just an abstract concept of order, while the God of the Church of the Goddess of Savior is a "real existence."
This difference will be reflected in the attitude towards some clergy - such as the saint.
It was based on this that Charles guessed what Eleanor wanted to ask him.
She wanted to save the saint.
After Charles asked, Eleanor said directly: "Can I ask... at that point in time when Qiangyin went back to the past, was Saint Claudia... still alive?"
Sure enough, as expected.
Watching Eleanor lean forward slightly, with a somewhat expectant look on her face, Charles slowly said, "Dead."
As soon as Charles finished speaking, Eleanor's body stiffened slightly and her shoulders drooped, as if the hope that had just risen in her heart was shattered again.
"Is this so..."
Eleanor's voice was a little hoarse.
"You want to save her?"
Ciel leaned back against the sofa behind him, squinted his eyes and looked at Eleanor and asked, "Is this also what the Savior Goddess Cult means?"
"I guess so...but..."
Eleanor shook her head slightly.
Even Qiang Yin's miraculous "unique" ability to reverse time could not return to the time before the saint's death, so Eleanor no longer held any hope.
Charles did not lie, because the retrospective time locked by the strong sound was the day after one hundred days of his simulation, which was October 10th.
At that point in time, the Saint had already died, and Qiang Yin would keep going back in time during the six hours of that day - his time was stuck there.
but……
"Strong sound is not good,"
Ciel smiled and said, "But I can."
Charles' words stunned Eleanor. Her pupils under the mask stared blankly at Charles in front of her, as if she didn't believe what she heard.
Charles didn't lie about this.
She can indeed "go back in time".
Because after the simulation ended, at the real time point, the saint was not dead yet.
To a certain extent, Charles' return to reality is a kind of time travel, and he can even use his memories to change the "past" and the future.
"You...can?"
Eleanor took a deep breath and calmed herself down. When she looked at Charles again, her eyes beneath the mask were filled with eagerness.
But Eleanor was also filled with anxiety.
Although the current Savior Goddess Church wants to cooperate with Charles and the organization behind it, their most passive point is that they don’t know what Charles really needs and what Charles lacks.
To be honest, there isn't much left of the Savior Goddess Church now.
In addition to the huge amount of wealth and assets and various potion materials accumulated by the church since its inception, the greatest sincerity they can offer is the large number of believers and the cutting-edge power of the Holy See.
But they assumed that Charles had no shortage of these things.
Just then, Ciel spoke.
"You want my help... but there's one thing you need to understand."
Ciel looked at Eleanor in front of him and spoke slowly, "You know, going back in time, Qiang Yin, including you, has no memory at all."
"An ordinary girl came to you and said she saved your saint... How to make the people in your church believe this is what you should consider."
Eleanor vaguely sensed something in her heart.
"You want to..."
Eleanor tried to ask.
"An absolute power that can make you trust me at no cost at a certain point in time."
Ciel spoke slowly, "This won't affect you now, will it?"
"This……"
Eleanor pondered in her heart.
Strictly speaking, Charles' request will not affect the church.
If she only asks for the power of the past to control the church, it will not have any impact on the current church. But if the other party really gets this power and really goes back to the past, will she really not use this power to do something else?
Unless some additional conditions are imposed on this power...but it will take several meetings to discuss how to limit such power.
As if noticing Eleanor's hesitation, Charles spoke up, "I advise you to return to the Vatican now and discuss with them how to cooperate on this matter... Because in a few hours, I will go back in time... Give me an answer within five hours."
Eleanor took a deep look at Charles in front of her. She stood up and bowed slightly in his direction. "Sir, I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
"last question……"
Eleanor straightened up, looked at Charles in front of her, and asked, "What Qiangyin said about the church fusion... is it true? At some point in the future, will the Savior Goddess Church and the Holy Advent Church really merge?"
"With all due respect, this is almost impossible..."
This was something that Eleanor and the top leaders of the Church of the Savior Goddess were worried about - the conflict between the Holy Advent Sect and the Church of the Savior Goddess had almost reached an irreconcilable point, and none of them believed that the two factions would actually succeed in merging.
"That's what you thought before you saw the Dark Bug."
Ciel smiled slightly. "It was the appearance of the Dark Worm... that caused a small number of people to fall into eternal sleep."
Darkworms...appear...
Eleanor's heart skipped a beat. She never imagined that the huge conflict between the two sects would be resolved by such a dramatic "deus ex machina". It was beyond common sense, but also reasonable.
"You'd better come up with a conclusion quickly."
Ciel waved his hand, not wanting to answer any more questions. "I was planning on getting some sleep before I go back."
"OK……"
