Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

What about the day she woke up? Did she lose her memory after touching herself?

Tia also felt that this matter was too absurd and bizarre, so she could only put it aside for the time being. The next day, the replica vases she had ordered arrived and were all delivered to 16 Crown Street.

When Eleanor returned from get out of class, the girl told her to go to the master bedroom and move a few antique vases away, and then compared and examined the porcelain vases in the study.

Eleanor didn't understand what was going on either, but followed Tia to the study with curiosity, like a little tail.

On the workbench in the study, there were already agate knives, steel needles, files, abrasive paste and sandpaper, as well as cigarette ash, ink, red clay, glue and silicate powder, and a strong acid solution sealed in a glass bottle.

There are many types of antiquing techniques, and Tia is not good at many of them, but she is quite proficient in antiquing ceramics.

Generally speaking, the best way to age porcelain is to use a matte finish made of leather and fur over a long period of time, and then use a specially prepared mud to create natural rust. However, this method takes several months, and Tia didn't have the patience for it.

Besides, since it's a gift for the Pope anyway, a token gesture will suffice.

Tia used sandpaper and abrasive paste to sand directly, and the fact that she didn't use an electric sander shows that she still had some respect for Pope Peter.

After being thrown into the oven, it was quickly cooled with liquid nitrogen, and fine ice-like cracks appeared on the surface of the imitation Solomon porcelain bottle. Then, ink and soot were used to fill the cracks.

This kind of handicraft is very delicate, and Tia was distracted by the iris flowers, so she was a little absent-minded while polishing.

Eleanor pointed out, "Oh, this is wrong."

Tia, seeing how conspicuous the ink filling was, exclaimed in surprise, "Eleanor, you can tell?"

"I've seen a lot."

This Tia is no match for me, I should just admit it.

But Eleanor was puzzled and said, "But the rest of the entries are filled in very well, just like the real ones."

A wooden sign reading "Fire in the Oven" hangs on the fan next to the oven, blowing hot air with a whooshing sound.

Tia wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued, "I was a bit distracted by what happened with the irises..."

—So they ran into trouble!

The little princess's eyes lit up; she wanted to help Tia.

Whether it's friends or lovers, helping each other is normal and can enhance relationships!

She hasn't really helped Tia more than a few times yet!

"Oh?"

"It's a bit strange, but after I projected my soul into the iris today, I found traces of an outsider in my bedroom."

"very scary."

"That's right, the key is I don't even know who she is!"

"she?"

Eleanor heard the pronoun in confusion.

Tia waved the file in her hand, somewhat angrily saying:

“That’s right, the ravens told me it was a white-haired woman, around Sequence 7, made of oak wood, who entered the living room around 10 p.m. fourteen days ago! She’s completely disregarding me!”

"oh......."

Eleanor opened her mouth slightly, then pursed her lips and remained silent.

Tia sensed that Eleanor's reaction was a bit strange, and put her hands on her hips, saying, "Eleanor, what's your opinion?"

Eleanor blinked her innocent eyes, her voice naive and pure.

"Oh, she must be a good person."

Chapter 346 Why are you all wearing the same clothes?

Upon hearing this, the girl put down the file in her hand and tilted her head to examine Eleanor carefully.

Whether the uninvited guest was a good person or not is another matter.

Eleanor, why are you reacting like you've done something wrong!

Tia immediately saw through Eleanor's attempt to cover something up—although Eleanor seemed genuinely sincere and innocent when she said those words, Tia knew very well:

Eleanor was probably feeling guilty when she did this.

The fact that Eleanor's exceptional human-machine interaction is gone means that she must have thought through what she was saying and deliberately pretended to be a good girl.

"Is he really a good person?"

"He came to Tia's bedroom but didn't do anything bad, so he must be a good person..."

Eleanor noticed Tia's gaze and made a serious excuse.

Tia glanced at it suspiciously a few times, but didn't press further, only guessing that it was probably related to Eleanor.

Could it be that Eleanor ordered her colleagues from the Anti-Corruption Bureau to apply lubricant to her doll in the suite, which is why so many traces were left?

It's hard to say.

However, since it's related to Eleanor, it should be fine.

Tia felt relieved and focused on coloring and aging several replica Solomon porcelain vases.

The most tedious step is filling the cracks with ink, soot, red clay, and similar substances, the purpose of which is to simulate the natural soil stains that appear on ancient porcelain after long periods of burial.

Filling the cracks normally is quite time-consuming, but Tia's extraordinary ability "Beyond Opposites" from the Great Philosopher Sequence 8 allows her to easily observe details and key points, and she fills them almost without making any mistakes.

After that, the rest of the work was simple. Tia then used a file and sandpaper to age the bottom of the bottle.

Pour a diluted strong acid solution into the crucible, then immerse the porcelain bottle in it to remove the shine.

Eleanor is a curious child, always asking questions.

Tia put on her gloves and warned, "Stay a little further away, this is a bit dangerous."

"Oh."

Eleanor watched as Tia took the soaking porcelain bottle out and rinsed it in alkaline water to neutralize it, leaving a layer of grayish glaze on the bottle.

Eleanor remembered that the porcelain vases in their house were all smooth and shiny, and said in bewilderment, "How ugly."

"Because it was done quickly, the luster is a bit off. Leave this one like this for now, and you can carefully polish the remaining two with leather or something similar."

Tia carefully used a pottery knife to trim the edges, trying to make it as realistic as possible.

Eleanor wanted to pick it up and look at it, but Tia grabbed her wrist and then pinched her fingers to put on gloves.

The little princess then picked up the porcelain vase and examined it closely. Her eyes widened in amazement, and she exclaimed:

"Wow, that's amazing! The edges look so real."

Tia put her hands on her hips and hummed a few times, looking quite satisfied.

What is emotional value?

Eleanor knows how to praise, and she's never stingy with it.

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

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

Once the porcelain vases were finished, Tia packed them up and gave them to Vera.

In the following days, she projected her soul onto the iris and checked the bedroom and other rooms. Everything was normal. When she returned to Ansu, she mentioned this to Eleanor, intentionally or unintentionally.

Early in the morning, while Tia was still asleep, Annie hurriedly knocked on the door.

Boom boom boom!

Tia was still dreaming of being locked in the dungeon by Eleanor, with Vera whipping her bottom with a small leather whip, but she ended up breaking free of her shackles, picking up the small leather whip, and pinning Vera and Eleanor to the ground to spank them.

A knock on the door woke her up. She was still wearing her bear pajamas and went to open the door, her eyes still blurry with sleep.

Upon seeing Annie outside the door, the half-asleep girl instantly snapped out of her daze.

Anne wore a gray and white college turtleneck shirt and an embroidered blazer, with round glasses, which, combined with her youthful face, gave her a vibrant and energetic look.

"Sorry, sorry, it's a bit early!"

Anne explained, "I think there was a party this afternoon that I forgot to tell you! Uncle Edith invited me, and he also specially invited Tia!"

Tia asked, bewildered, "Is this related to me?"

"Because Tia is so famous now..."

Anne laughed as she said this, "Speaking of which, Uncle Edith and many other nobles and wealthy merchants from the founding fathers want to see you. But Tia is either on Crown Street or at the Grand Police Headquarters and the Papal Palace, and they don't dare to go there."

"That's why Uncle Edith specifically asked me to invite Tia along."

Tia said with a troubled expression, "Shouldn't I dress up nicely for a banquet?"

"No need. Mom, Dad, and Sister Evelyn aren't here! I can just wear whatever I want. Of course, I don't need to dress too casually; there should be a bit of a ceremony."

Annie trotted into the bedroom, stood on tiptoe in front of Tia's wardrobe, opened it, and scanned the rows of clothes.

Tia doesn't actually have many clothes. She usually has four sets of everyday clothes and a necessary formal dress, but the clothes here are hanging full—because most of them were forced in by Annie.

Anne specially chose a white shirt, a light gray blazer, high-waisted shorts, and a beret for Tia to change into.

Tia: ......

Why does this outfit look so familiar?

That being said, Tia still obediently changed into it. After all, it would be difficult for her to change on her own unless she was wearing her own casual clothes or a matching formal dress, which would take her a long time to choose.

Tia changed her clothes, and Annie was very satisfied. Humming a little tune, she said, "I'll go call Eleanor again!"

Tia asked, puzzled, "Is Eleanor going too?"

"Princess Lilibey and Edith's Lenster are a couple, and Princess Lilibey has invited Eleanor. Vera can also be invited!"

"Oh."

"Oh?"

Both of them were infected by Eleanor.

Eleanor was still asleep, and Anne called her for a long time. Tia went to knock on Vera's door.

Upon entering, they found Vera still studying.

The nun was so diligent.

Tia asked Vera, "There's a banquet coming up later, Vera. Would you like to come? It's the Edith family, the founders of the nation, and they've invited Anne."

Vera said seriously, "I want to study."

"Really not going? You should at least balance work and rest, right?"

"No, no, you guys go. Besides, this kind of banquet, this kind of banquet..."

Vera continued to concentrate on her book, burying her head in it and saying fearfully, "Besides, there are so many people at those banquets, you have to socialize, deal with people, and force a smile. You might as well just let me die."

That's true.

Vera is socially awkward. If it's a salon full of strangers, she can sit there pretending not to know them. Or if it's full of acquaintances, she can adapt well.

What I fear most is having to socialize with strangers everywhere.

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

On the other side, Anne also woke Eleanor up.

After washing up, Tia stretched in the living room, looked at the black-haired girl in the mirror, and swayed her head narcissistically.

That's so me, so cute.

Eleanor peered down the stairs, and her small head was reflected in the mirror at the edge of the stairs.

Stare~~~

Tia turned around and glared at Eleanor.

They were spying!

Anne then came downstairs and greeted her, "Isn't Vera up yet?"

Tia then said, "She has social anxiety, so she can't go."
