Miss Witch's Speed Run Manual
Page 81
Even though she didn't want to believe it, Adele knew that what Charles said was most likely true.
Because she did find a large number of rumors about the Holy Advent Sect in her teacher's library...but Adele at the time believed that the teacher had collected this information for some kind of research.
Adele looked at Charles, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Teacher Xie Lun... he was brainwashed by the Holy Advent Sect, which is why he became like this, right?"
After hearing Adele's question, Charles sensed her low mood. After a moment of silence, he said, "No, he contacted the Holy Advent Sect himself."
Ciel never thought that lying about such things would bring comfort.
She does not have the concept of "the dead are greater than the dead". Good is good and bad is bad. Charles will not whitewash an executioner who wants to kill tens of thousands of people just to take care of Adele's feelings.
What surprised Charles was that after hearing what he said, Adele did not become more sad, but the sadness on her face eased a little.
It seems that he was not more saddened by his teacher's betrayal.
"Aren't you sad?"
Charles asked.
Adele shook her head and said softly, "I've been sad for this reason before."
"Even if Teacher... Xie Lun did these things because he was brainwashed, he is still my respected teacher."
"But if it's not, as I said before, I'm already upset."
Charles nodded slightly.
Adele is a child whose thinking is always different from that of ordinary people but very reasonable.
Before, she came to Avina to confide in her depressed mood because her teacher had gone astray. For Adele, the matter of "teacher's betrayal" was already in the past.
In the absence of any reversal now, this incident will not affect Adele again.
Rather than being heartless, it would be better to say that he is open-minded and has a certain air of a wise man. It would not be surprising if he said some warning words the next second.
At this moment, Adele also had a strange feeling in her heart.
At first she thought she was called over for something very important and was very nervous all the way.
However, this nervousness disappeared after she stood outside the door for more than an hour, and she began to wonder what it was all about.
Avina and Charles are both her new friends, and Adele doesn't know them very well.
However, she really didn't expect that Charles and Avina called her over just because they were worried about her safety and asked her to come here to protect her.
This touched Adele deeply.
Charles and Avina have developed a relationship to the point where they can sleep together, so she can't be sociable.
Her eyes swept back and forth between Charles and Avina. Charles was also looking at her, waiting for her to speak.
Just then, Adele spoke.
"Can you take me with you next time you sleep together?"
Ciel: "?"
Avina: "???"
Avina, who had been watching Charles thinking about something, was also awakened by Adele's words.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Adele tilted her head slightly to the right and asked in confusion: "Aren't you having a pajama party?"
Ciel: "...No."
After explaining to Adele that they came to Avina's side because it was safer with Nia's protection, Adele finally understood that Charles and Avina were not having a party just now. It was really just that Charles was sleepy and went to bed early.
It was already late at night, far past Adele's bedtime. Plus, she had been waiting downstairs for so long that she was already extremely sleepy.
After confirming with Avina that she would sleep in her bed tonight, Adele went straight to the bathroom to take a shower without much hesitation, leaving Avina and Charles in the living room.
Avina looked at Charles and saw that she seemed to be thinking about something with her head down. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "What are you thinking about, Charles?"
Perhaps Charles, like her, began to consider redefining the relationship between them after sleeping in the same bed.
After hearing Avina's question, Charles looked up at her, shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about what's next."
"What happened next?"
Seeing that Charles' expression was a little serious, Avina calmed down a little, but she still felt a little lost in her heart.
After considering his words for a moment, Ciel spoke:
"I have also been assigned a task, so I must complete it."
"Thanks for letting me stay for a few days, but I have to go now."
No matter how many times he succeeds in the simulation, he still has to put it into practice in the end. Today is already the early morning of the 21st, and Charles must take action quickly.
"Wait, Ciel."
Avina stood up, raised her hand and placed it on Charles' shoulder, then asked seriously, "I have one last question, Charles."
"what is the problem?"
Charles looked into Avina's eyes.
"Ciel, I might just be overthinking it... but I really feel that the organization behind you is not a good one."
After hesitating for a moment, Avina continued, "Killing Xie Lun was also a task assigned by them, right?"
"Before, you went to Deton Manor with us because they asked you to investigate, right?"
"They assign you these difficult missions, missions that even a transcendent might not be able to complete. But even your sister's safety is guaranteed by me... They provide you with intelligence to complete the missions, but you have to obtain the funds yourself."
"Do they have any evidence against you? If this is something you can't talk about, just blink three times in a row and tell me."
Avina has a very sharp mind, is extremely curious, and has a strong "detective" talent.
These consecutive bad encounters had already made Avina see some clues.
That organization, apparently, didn't provide Ciel with any substantial help other than intelligence, or perhaps just the sealed pistol.
But no matter what, this is not a reason for a powerful secret organization to let an ordinary person take risks continuously. In Avina's eyes, Charles was completely used.
If Charles is willing to tell her the truth behind this matter, she will try her best to help Charles break free from the control of that organization.
At this time, Charles looked at Avina with a calm expression.
She had long known that Avina would definitely be curious and suspicious of the organization behind her, because that was Avina's personality, so Charles was not surprised at all.
It has to be said that Avina's "Listener" potion was digested very well. After listening to what Avina said, Charles himself had an urge to confide in her, but fortunately Avina did not actively use her ability, so the effect was not too strong.
As for the rhetoric, she had already thought of it.
"You misunderstood, Avina."
Ciel raised his hand and gently removed Avina's hand from his shoulder, saying, "I am just using a special recurrence ritual with the help of the organization to digest a unique potion."
A unique...potion?
Hearing this, Avina was a little confused.
Hundreds of years ago, some large churches had already collected the first-level information on all channels. In the past hundred years, the number of channels is no longer a secret to slightly higher-level organizations and churches.
The Russell family has basically collected all the first-level potions and reproduction ritual information, but they are missing two of the methods.
So, how unique is the uniqueness that Charles mentioned?
Charles turned and walked towards the door, picked up his canvas bag and hat hanging by the door, turned to look at Avina, and said, "Don't worry about me, Avina."
"I might be a little stronger than you think."
After saying that, Charles walked out of the room, leaving Avina standing there, looking at Charles who seemed to look down on the second-level cultists, and fell into deep thought.
She originally thought that her communication with Ciel was deep enough, but the more she understood, the more she discovered Ciel's mystery...it seemed that she would never be able to figure her out.
At this time, Charles was walking in the corridor outside, thinking about his inner plan.
She was wondering if there was any way to set up the blood formation needed for spiritual summoning in Deton Manor in advance.
As for the cultists inside, they were no longer a big threat in Charles' eyes.
This is not because Xia Er is arrogant, nor is it because she is conceited.
As long as she could transform into a "Judge", she could almost walk around the entire Deton Manor. Before the arrival of the cult bishop on the 23rd, no cultist in the city of Burren could say that they had defeated Charles in terms of combat power.
This is the confidence that the repeated massacres of the cult circle in Deton Manor have given Charles.
Moreover, she still had a valuable item that could be exchanged to ensure her absolute safety—but this item could not be seen by Avina, Adele, and especially Nia, otherwise it might cause some misunderstandings.
That thing is the [Sardana Badge], which prevents cultists with the "Sardana Badge" from attacking him. It was originally an emblem that only belonged to the bishops of the Holy Advent Sect.
In the last simulation, she had already obtained it.
Now, it only takes 20 more destiny points to redeem it, but the prerequisite is that Charles must free up some space in the already full warehouse.
Currently, there are only four slots in Ciel's warehouse, which contain [Eye of Order Contract], [Letter of the Radiant Bishop], [Fatal Blood Roland], and [Echo of the Silver Timebinder].
The previous [Pages of the Other World] had been taken out by Charles in the simulation and pasted on the mask of the "instigator" Charles, and could no longer be torn off.
I don’t know if it’s because the [Pages of the Other World] are attached to the mask that Nia gave me, but the exchange price is actually 100 Destiny Points.
The price is too high, and Charles will definitely not exchange for this mask. If he needs it at that time, he can spend 5 destiny points to exchange for a new [Page of the Other World].
If you want to exchange the [Sardana Badge] now, you must clear a slot in the warehouse to ensure that it will not be discovered.
After thinking about it for a while, Ciel decided to take out the [Echo of the Silver Timebinder] and carry it with him.
This is Ciel's exclusive sealed item, and even if someone else obtains it, they cannot use it.
If you just carry it with you, this pocket watch has no side effects, and it is much better than taking out other things that will cause trouble if they are discovered.
The most important thing is that Charles has been using this pocket watch for three years. He is not used to it during this period of time.
A silver light flashed, and a familiar, exquisite antique silver pocket watch appeared in Charles's hand. She put the pocket watch into the right pocket of her skirt and fastened the delicate buckle at the end of the watch chain to her belt.
Charles reached into her pocket and touched the slightly cool pocket watch. The familiar feeling made her feel at ease.
Finally, Charles exchanged the [Sardana Badge] directly from the warehouse.
He had originally exchanged a letter written to himself, leaving him with 192 destiny points. Now he spent another 20 to exchange for the [Sardana Badge], and Charles's destiny point balance dropped to 172.
The exchanged [Sardana Badge] appeared directly in the warehouse. As for whether it would take effect just by staying in the warehouse like the [Eye of Order Contract], Charles would have to try it himself.
At this time, Charles had already walked to the door of the manor. She looked back and saw that the light in the direction of Avina's room on the third floor was out, while the light in the study was on.
Having already slept with herself, Avina will definitely not be able to sleep tonight. She will probably plan to read all night. As for Adele, she will definitely be dragged to the floor or sofa in the study to sleep. After all, she can't be too far away from Nia.
It seems that Avina listened to her own words and didn't act on her own. If they didn't act rashly, it wouldn't bring more variables to Charles' plan.
At times like this, Charles would think that the ability of "Instigator" was quite useful. With just a simple hint, and with the support of the system skills, the first-level Avina and Adele would basically have no ability to resist.
The cool night breeze blew slowly. On the deserted streets in the early morning, Charles walked forward, reopened the letter, and began to check the list.
If Charles wanted to remain completely unnoticed by the Holy Advent Church, there were many things he couldn't do himself. The more he did, the more traces he would inadvertently leave behind.
To do this, she needs an inconspicuous "spokesperson" to prepare everything for her.
All you need to do is activate the spiritual summoning at the most critical moment.
This person definitely cannot be Kitty.
Something happened at Deton Manor, and Priest Kitty, who was the manager of the cultists in this area, must be the key target of investigation. The Holy Advent Cult would definitely find something from her remaining blood and remains.
Charles searched through the list, looking for a suitable candidate, but after looking through hundreds of people's names and addresses, he couldn't find anyone suitable.
Although the cultists developed by Kitty come from all walks of life, they are not high-level officials because they are afraid of being exposed. Instead, they are servants around the high-level officials or secretaries of some companies.
Moreover, the Holy Coming Sect's selection of its members is quite interesting.
Most of the people on the list have criminal records, and many of them are desperate. From the brief stories of many of them, Charles even suspects that they have antisocial personalities.
Under the baptism of the Holy Advent Sect, they returned to normal society, hid as cultists, and passed information to Kitty.
Charles recalled that the "Glorious Bishop" Prague was originally a pirate sailor who had done many evil things, but was also developed into a cultist by the Holy Advent Sect.
The logic they use to develop followers seems to be very different from that of the Savior Goddess Cult.
Is there another reappearance ritual of the "Acetic" within the Holy Advent Sect?
Or is it that people who have done many evil things are more likely to digest the "Acetic" potion?
Charles skipped the first few pages of the list and looked directly at the extraordinary people marked at the back.
The ordinary cultists in the first few pages were basically under the control of the seven first-level cultists. They had no idea about Kitty who was above them, nor did they know that the headquarters of the Holy Advent Church in Burren City was at Deton Manor in Creek Mountain outside the city.
Besides, their identities were not enough to allow them to enter Deton Manor.
