Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Tia almost choked on her teacup.

What is a flower thief?

Tia couldn't stand their close proximity, so she pulled up a chair and sat down next to Vera, emphasizing, "It's about investigating important figures who threatened the church! They're the ones who orchestrated that."

Annie looked confused.

Vera sipped her milk tea and said, "This is going to be difficult."

Tia raised an eyebrow and said, "Vera, do you have any brilliant ideas?"

"It's tough. Because the mastermind behind this isn't even human! They're a completely depraved, utterly wicked, and inhumane spirit—waaaaah!"

Vera scratched her head and said, "This is truly a case of feigned wisdom."

Unlike Anne, who entered the temple at regular intervals, Tia often spent excessive time there reading, which made it easy to guess that Tia was connected to the Upside-Down Temple—after all, every time the Upside-Down Witch manifested in the temple, Tia would meditate after leaving, a fact that was hard to believe...

Tia smiled and covered her mouth, "What is it?"

"I have human rights too! I want to speak out!"

"No. We'll talk about it later."

"How long will that be?"

Tia laughed and said, "It'll be ready when you're up there."

They chatted and laughed, but Annie was completely confused.

After afternoon tea.

Anne sneaked into Vera's bedroom to find her and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Vera was honest and said directly, "Actually, it's related to the Temple. The Church is investigating the Raven Seal. They want to investigate the witch's background. They're probably worried about putting you in a difficult position."

Anne suddenly realized, "So that's how it is," but then became somewhat uncertain again.

If she were to investigate the Crows' Seal, should she inform Tia? But the whale in the temple is her teacher, so wouldn't that be inappropriate?

To be honest, she felt that the witch was a very good person, and everyone in the temple was a very good person... well, some weren't even human. But they were all good people.

She still wanted to talk things out.

But Vera's next words left Anne speechless, and Anne suddenly felt as if there was no need to say anything at all.

Vera continued, "But I feel... well, Tia is probably also connected to the Temple. It would be a complete failure for the Church to come looking for her; they might as well have come to me."

"Wait, Vera, are you saying that Tia also knows about the Temple?"

Annie was a little surprised and had mixed feelings when she heard this—it was probably the same feeling a good student has when they secretly do their summer homework haphazardly for the first time during summer vacation, only to find out when school starts that everyone was in cahoots all along.

No, she isn't. She probably doesn't belong there at all.

Vera recalled some of the things they had done together, as well as Tia's strange and extraordinary abilities, and scratched her head without saying anything.

Vera is clear-headed when it comes to important matters.

................

At this very moment, on the streets of Jinyue Bay, north of Iris Flower City.

The shrike was standing on a boy who was no more than 1.6 meters tall and looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old. The boy looked immature, but he was fully covered by the armor of a Saint Enggard Silver Knight, which meant that he was at least an adult and had passed the Knight Trial, reaching Sequence 8 or even Sequence 7.

The inscription on his chest revealed his identity—Shami Langhilde, a lower-ranking knight of the Order of Saint Engard.

He has just been transferred from Fogmoon City to Golden Moon Bay.

Xia Mi exclaimed excitedly, "Teacher Da Ya, do you still need wine to set up the ceremony? My sister is a rich girl from the Seven Seas Land, she has plenty of it."

The shrike spread its wings on his shoulder and said with satisfaction, "I am very satisfied with your intention. You are already a million times better than that witch in the ditch!"

"Eh, a witch?"

"It's nothing. I'll teach you another ritual today. This one was personally taught by Saint Vincent. Although it's only Sequence 9, it's an incredibly powerful ritual!"

"Please teach me everything, Mr. Raven!"

"Gagaga! I'll tell you about the materials... um, wait, wait, no..."

The shrike trembled, instantly sensing an extremely strong killing intent locking onto it from all directions.

The killing intent was extremely strong, and the newcomer was very powerful, at least at the Sequence 5 level.

It could easily handle a single Sequence 5, but the sheer number of Sequence 5s was overwhelming, and it also sensed a Sequence 4 some distance away. This was quickly exceeding its capabilities; escaping was manageable, but direct confrontation...

But upon glancing again at the elated, silly student Xia Mi, Shrike felt a pang of reluctance to part with his long-term meal ticket and let out a scream.

"Damn it! You idiot, run!"

Octopus #314! What a huge fish!

"Haa, haa! Teacher Crow! How much further do we have to run?"

Xia Mi was still confused when she heard the shrike's urging. She ran wildly through the streets for more than ten minutes in the direction the shrike pointed, her whole body covered in sweat.

Where to run—even the shrike itself didn't know!

The shrike, perched on Xia Mi's shoulder, trembled with tail feathers and almost immediately sensed the killing intent that had just dissipated locking onto them once more.

It was as if those people knew everything about their movements.

The shrike suddenly turned its head and looked up at the sky.

It was nearing dusk.

As the sun sets and the harbor of Golden Moon Bay shimmers with golden light, a moon is faintly rising in the sky.

The moon is a symbol of spirituality, desire, and wisdom, representing prophets.

A chill followed, and wisps of white smoke rose from the cracks in the brick street beneath their feet.

White smoke rose and filled the air, filling the already humid and hot air with a chilling cold.

The smoke clung to my legs, and the chill crept up my feet and up my leg bones, making the carriages, pedestrians, and even the cockroaches and rats in the garbage cans in the alleys move incredibly slowly.

Xia Mi felt as if her whole body was frozen. She could raise her hands, but very slowly, as if she were walking slowly through half a meter of snow, her thick cotton clothes soaked and frozen.

—The Slow Curse.

The prophets' specialty, while seemingly cooling and freezing, actually slows down the movement of objects to manipulate time. It can also restrict the enemy's actions for a considerable period of time, thus perfectly fulfilling their prophecies on the enemy.

The shrike flapped its wings and murmured:

"My God...it's a prophet!"

"Prophet—what? Teacher Raven, I feel like I can't move! And I'm a little dizzy."

"Holy Light! Move to the right!"

Clang!

As she drew her sword, a warm white light burst forth from the knight's blade, suppressing the curse. Xia Mi, holding the sword with both hands, ducked and rolled to the right.

With a loud crash, the billboard upstairs fell and hit the ground because some parts had come loose.

Xia Mi felt a little panicked; he had never seen the prophet before!

This fighting style is too bizarre. He didn't even know where the enemy was. If it weren't for Teacher Da Ya's timely reminder, he would have suffered a concussion.

The young knight gripped his sword nervously and asked, "Master Raven, what should we do?"

Shrike swallowed hard and said, "My god... five Sequence 5s and one Sequence 4, even if the Knights of Golden Moon Bay come, it will be difficult."

“They’re probably after me. I’ll cover for you. Go back immediately and reset the Raven Seal. Someone in Laurel Grove will contact you. Just tell them you’ve encountered the Prophet from the Deep Sea.”

"Yes, I understand!"

The shrike took flight, its silvery-white wings almost obscuring the golden sunset, its sharp, blood-red eyes fixed on several directions.

"Teacher Big Crow!"

Xia Mi was moved to tears and sheathed her sword.

The shrike was a little touched; this little apprentice who got the meal ticket actually had a knightly spirit.

But the next moment, Xia Mi wiped away her tears and said, "If you die, you must remember to leave behind the ritual you are going to pass on to me!"

Without a second thought, the little knight used the remaining holy light to dispel the curse in his body and took off running, quite fast indeed.

The prophets hidden in the shadows had no interest in this inconspicuous little knight. With a slight gesture, the whole world turned black and white, and lines were drawn out, bypassing Xia Mi and the pedestrians on the street. The black lines, like a spider web, enveloped the Raven King in the sky.

The shrike immediately transformed, narrowly escaping the web of fate, and turned to see Xia Mi, who had vanished without a trace.

Shrike: ?

They really are still a master and disciple who only indulge in drinking and eating.

I was moved in vain.

...................

While the shrike was outwitting the prophets, Shami was also running home in a panic.

Although the prophets were cunning, their strength as Sequence 5 was limited. Their curse only covered that one street, and it weakened considerably after they escaped the street.

Instead of running to the Knights' headquarters, Xia Mi went home first, slamming the door and panting heavily. When she looked up, she saw her younger sister Sif coming out of the bedroom. The two looked about seven or eight parts alike, but Xia Mi had white hair and her sister Sif had black hair. Moreover, Xia Mi was obviously not as tall as Sif.

He immediately took off his helmet, revealing his delicate face covered in sweat, and said in a flustered manner:

"Girl! This is terrible! Teacher Ooku is going to be killed!"

"What, Teacher Big Crow?"

Sif was completely confused.

"It's that Raven Shrike teacher who was drinking in our cellar before. He's been targeted by a group of prophets." Xia Mi didn't have time to explain in detail, and said urgently, "Raven Shrike wants me to arrange a ritual for him. I'll go prepare the ritual. Sif, go and inform the Knights—"

"Tell the Grand Knight Commander that they are on West Avenue!"

Sif clapped her hands mercilessly and said, "The crows that steal our wine and the parasites that steal our wine and give it to the crows should die as soon as possible."

"A tonic! I also want to take advantage of Teacher Ooku's ritual to become stronger."

"It's okay, brother. Being weak is also cute."

Despite saying that, Sif still brought out a dozen or so bottles of newly brewed wine, turned around and took a woody pumpkin from the kitchen, then pointed her emerald ring at the pumpkin and it swelled up into a pumpkin carriage, pulled by two small brown horses.

They boarded the vehicle and headed to the Golden Moon Bay Police Station, where the Knights were located.

Meanwhile, Shami quickly set up a ritual for the Crows' Seal in the bedroom, praying three times and directing the ritual toward the sanctuary laurel grove.

The ceremony was anchored in the laurel grove, and his prayers reached the ears of Brenna and Freya, who were in charge of responding to the ceremony in the laurel grove.

Branna took it as a normal request for the Crows' Seal ritual and didn't think much of it.

Although the church issued warnings about the dangers and potential risks of the Raven Seal, it was indeed very useful. Ravens were excellent consumables, and they would continue to be used as needed.

But Branna accepted the ritual request, and upon hearing the urgent plea for help beyond the prayer, she immediately tensed.

She told Freya and immediately floated up to the material world, to Tia's bedroom.

When Tia received the news, she was first shocked, then puzzled and relieved.

What surprised me was that these prophets retaliated so quickly, and not from the deep sea, but directly offline.

What puzzled Tia was that she hadn't expected these prophets to be so organized and systematic, so she had no choice but to strike hard.

"So many Sequence 5 prophets... we've really caught a big fish this time."

Tia suddenly stood up and said, "Their goal is definitely not that useless bird, the Shrike. They're probably after Eleanor's nightmare. But we can use them too; they can be given to the church as a gift."

"We're going to have Little Red take the Temple down 3000 meters! Let's test their mettle first."

Chapter 315 AAA Aquaculture Whale Brother

Imperial Coldwater Harbor, Swamp Astrology Shop.

The tall, giant prophet behind the counter on the first floor of the astrology shop is no longer there; the shop is now run by another middle-aged prophet, Hussein, who is Sequence 5.

Hussein, dressed in a white robe, was middle-aged but had a great love for life. He kept his shop in perfect order and had a bright red flower tucked diagonally into the cloth wrapped around his forehead.

After seeing off several guests who had come for divination, Hussein went up to the second floor and saw two young men sitting on the left and right, chanting softly, while an elderly man with white hair and beard placed his hands lightly on a crystal ball in the middle.
