Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Vera had lost all interest in arguing over the cherry tomatoes and couldn't help but ask, "Is that really possible?"

Tia said, "Theoretically, it's possible. The forging of Sacred Number 3 stipulates 'the limits of knowledge, the boundaries of vision, the plane of the deep sea, melting and forging, advancing day by day.' Perhaps in a billion years, humanity will be able to see the seabed at a glance..."

She teased, "Your Holiness Pope Vera, aren't you the Pope? Don't you even know the Holy Numbers?"

"I am the Pope of the Church of Walloon!" Vera declared righteously, then her eyes fell on the glass in Tia's hand, and she exclaimed in surprise:

How did my soda end up in your hands?

"Here, have some."

"Oh, thank you."

Anne: "......"

This child is quite polite.

Tia said, "However, it's not like there aren't any legitimate solutions. It's just that this solution..."

Annie asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem?"

"No, no. It's just a bit difficult. Because this plan is based on the principle of the Holy Grail in the number two: 'The Holy Grail provides protection to the masses.'"

The rules prescribed by the Holy Grail of Holy Number 2... Anne couldn't even recall them for a moment.

After all, the Church itself doesn't emphasize the Holy Grail's principles much, and the extraordinary power stipulated in this principle is so common that no one really remembers it.

The Holy Grail provides protection to the masses, keeping mortals safe from evil spirits.

As for why it's commonplace—that's because the so-called protection is the "threshold" for extraordinary knowledge.

Therefore, ordinary people, unless they specifically seek out extraordinary powers, will probably never come into contact with them in their entire lives. This is because they cannot even see extraordinary knowledge.

The deep sea is not a water park, nightmares are not child's play, and even rituals come at a price.

The "Holy Blood in a Cup" and "Silver-plated Bullets," which are basic skills used by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, can easily cause serious infections or long-term heart disease if not handled carefully. Ordinary people who cannot afford antibiotics and special drugs may die a violent death.

It's a constraint, but also a form of protection.

For spirits, however, there are no barriers to knowledge.

Annie was momentarily dazed, then realized and said, "So, it means raising the knowledge threshold for spirits? But this kind of project..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Is Saint Sulph here?"

"Who could it be so late?"

Annie was also a little annoyed by the interruption. She got up, put on her slippers, walked through the entryway, and stepped onto the plush carpet to open the door.

But as soon as she opened the door, Anne immediately recognized who it was.

He was a young man dressed in a brown-yellow overcoat and wearing glasses, looking like a scholar or detective. He was the head of the External Liaison Department of the Anti-Suppression Bureau, a Druid Kurd of Sequence Five.

This Kurdish minister had previously helped Mrs. Edwina complete her nightmare of Sequence Seven at her invitation, so he looked somewhat familiar.

Kurd's expression tightened slightly. He paused for a moment in surprise upon seeing Anne, then said, "Anne of the Mercury family... Hmm, is Saint Sulph here?"

"It's right behind us, Uncle Kurd, what are you doing here...?"

Anne noticed that the Kurds looked travel-worn and couldn't help but ask them a question.

Kurd breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're here. There's been some trouble at Westerburg in the Great Icefield. The spirit riots have intensified again, and Ms. Bernice is in trouble. I came back from the Great Icefield specifically for this."

"Is something wrong with Ms. Bernice?"

"Lady Bernice traveled to the frigid zone while the Sorcerer Supreme was injured, returning mortally wounded... Before collapsing, she told us about the situation on the Great Icefield—the prophets of the Palace of Wisdom are chasing two things. One is #%."

Anne thought she had misheard and asked blankly, "Huh? What?"

“It’s @＃￥,” Kurd said with a wry smile. “None of us can say the name or know its meaning. The moment we think of it, we become a bunch of noise.”

Annie found it a bit unbelievable, "Is the second one the same?"

"No, no—the second one is Sulph."

Chapter 495 I'm not being modest

"Are you saying you're chasing two people, one of whom is Sulph? Or are you saying that 'Sulph' is among the things you're chasing?"

"What's the difference?"

Kurd didn't come to invite Tia to the Great Icefield; on the contrary, he came on behalf of Rashina and Bernice to dissuade her.

The spirit riots in the Great Icefield are certainly dangerous, but if Ansu loses a general like Tia while Bernice is injured, then it's all over!

So when he returned, he didn't even consult Roman, who had replaced Bernice, or Albert, who was now in power—their opinions would surely be the same as Bernice's and Rashina's.

After all, Tia's loss on the Great Ice Plains and her forced spiritualization were a major headache for Roman, causing the Anti-Extermination Bureau to bleed money dry. Then it was Albert's turn. The Moen family was truly in a bind—they had just extricated themselves from the false god Silver Door, and now they were on the witch's carriage...

But Tia had no intention of giving up on going to the Great Icefield. She crossed her arms on the table, looked diagonally at Kurd, who was dressed like a newsboy or a detective, and said with piercing eyes:

“The difference is huge. It’s even bigger than the risotto made by Pope Vera and Duke Anne. The former might have been saying ‘Sulph’ and someone else, while the latter might have been saying ‘XX Sulph’. They’re completely different things.”

Vera was stuffing her mouth with seafood risotto when she slowly raised her head, her face full of question marks. "Why do I have to do this?"

"It's okay, look down and keep eating." Tia pressed Vera down to continue eating her seafood risotto.

The aroma of the seafood risotto on the table made Kurd relax his tense body, and he swallowed hard, saying, "To be honest, your dinner is indeed tempting. But what are those two things you mentioned? Are you saying that the Palace of Wisdom isn't looking for you?"

Anne felt that Tia was right and chimed in, "Uncle Kurd, there are so many people in this world named Sulph. Leaving aside the ones from further back, even Tia has an older sister named Avina. Maybe it was Avina who smashed the Wisdom Palace to pieces and then the Wisdom Palace held a grudge against her."

Kurd shook his head repeatedly, denying it: "How could that be! If Avina Sulf were really that powerful, how could our Anti-Suppression Bureau not know about such a big incident! She's just an ordinary university teaching assistant, we've investigated her many times."

Hard to say.

Tia hesitated, then Kurd continued, "And how could the Wisdom Palace be so foolish as to insist on going to the polar ice fields to fight to the death with Saint Sulph's sister? The risks and rewards are far too small."

Tia glanced at them and casually remarked, "Maybe they've eaten too much pork."

Kurd, somewhat parched, said helplessly, "Ah! Let's not talk about that for now. Your Highnesses, I do not recommend that you go to the Great Ice Plains under any circumstances."

"The Great Icefield is not what it was a month ago. The Sorcerer Supreme was injured in the throat by a spirit riot, and Lady Bernice is bedridden. Leaving aside the Imperials for now, only Duke Willen is holding down the fort in Westerburg. If any more danger arises..."

“Then I should go even more.” Tia said righteously, “Rasina and I are half-sisters. She’s doing research in Westerburg and has to stay in the castle. How can she manage? I have to go and help her.”

Kurd rubbed his temples and pointed north, saying:

"Let me be honest, Sulph! The spiritual riots over the Great Ice Plains are really serious. If you're only dealing with the Wisdom Palace and the Imperials, it'll be fine."

"But if those spirits with Sequence 5 or Sequence 4 power break through the blockade of the cold zone and rush into Westburg, and the Palace of Wisdom comes to attack, you will be in great danger!"

“Once you are gone, look around: a family will lose a daughter, a sister will lose a sister, a citizen will lose a partner, a nation will lose a pillar, and the world will lose a saint—”

Vera kindly reminded her, "She's an orphan."

Kurd was also taken aback, and said in a booming voice, "The key points are the spirits and the danger!"

But Tia showed no sign of giving up, and Kurd even saw a hint of eagerness in her eyes.

That meant it was practically saying:

—Is there really such a good thing?

Kurds felt a chill run down their spines.

He knew about Tia's sublimation elements, but the elements hidden in this soul didn't seem like sublimation at all; they were more like the ascetic who took pleasure in seeking thrills as a masochist.

The Kurds immediately realized they couldn't be persuaded; they were filled with deep shock and admiration.

According to this Kurdish minister, going to the Great Icefield had nothing to do with her sublimation element; it was purely a moral choice made by resisting her own extraordinary element to help Rasina.

As for Rashina's advice, Tia could only say she was touched, but she wouldn't listen to it at all.

The Duke of Wellen was not exactly safe guarding Westerburg by himself, so it was truly kind of him to refuse her entry under those circumstances.

But Tia was truly envious of that large group of spirits.

Seeing this, Kurd said, "To be honest, you are the first person I have ever met who can be properly called a 'saint' except for those who follow the path of the Holy Grail."

Tia shook her head and said, "I don't count at all. I can only be considered half a swan, just like the foreign swans. They are still different from the swans in the swan pond that are protected by the royal family."

"You're too modest."

"But since things are already this tense over on the Great Icefield, I'll have Roman arrange a ship for me tomorrow. I'll go to Silver Castle to see him tomorrow, and then head to the Great Icefield at 9 o'clock tonight."

Kurd was even more impressed. He rose solemnly and politely, took off his newsboy cap, and bowed, saying, "I am deeply impressed by your character."

He added with shame, "I saw reports from Newport News about the conscience of the Newport Police Department before, and the Kurds even suspected that they were exaggerating. Today, I am truly ashamed."

"As for the ship you need, I will go to the Anti-Suppression Bureau tonight to request it, so please rest assured."

"Just use my name."

"Understood. Thank you for your kindness."

Tia was a little embarrassed by the praise.

After Kurd got up to say goodbye, she and Anne saw him off and returned to the restaurant. Tia was still basking in the praise she had received.

Forget about honest advice being hard to hear; just tell me whether it's comfortable or not to be flattered.

However, Tia still gave Kurd face and allowed him to use her name to dispatch an ocean-going vessel, so that the matter would not have much to do with Kurd.

People praise each other.

Back at the restaurant, Tia pondered Kurd's words of praise as she followed behind Annie, arms crossed, nodding repeatedly:

"Sigh, I'm not being modest, Annie, how did a model student like me, who sells fake medicine, runs shady businesses, engages in demolition, grave smuggling, and debt collection, become a proper saint...?"

Chapter 496 Farewell to Silver Castle

Anne pinched Tia's cheek, watching as she was still immersed in the praise, and then precisely grabbed her breast.

Tia suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Tia stopped bothering Annie and turned to sit at the same table with Vera, where she started bothering Vera.

She pressed her hand against Vera's shoulder, cheek to cheek, and said, "Do I look like a saint to you?"

Vera: "...You look like a scoundrel to me."

Say it again.

“I feel you already possess eleven parts of my qualities, Pope Elvira.” Vera said with complete satisfaction, then changed the subject: “By the way, is what happened with the swan true?”

"What swan?"

"You mean that swan that the Silver Castle city government sued? The foreign swan that illegally encroached on the Queen's Swan Lake without permission, polluting the noble lineage of the royal swans, and was ultimately fined and imprisoned!"

Anne was just about to tell Vera that a negative moral character multiplied by eleven is also a negative number when she was drawn to the swan story and asked curiously:

　"Is that really true?"

Tia nodded: "That's true. Eleanor is royalty, so she must know about this."

When Eleanor's name was called, she thought for a moment and nodded somewhat confusedly.

"Oh, I think so, but I can't quite remember."

Vera glanced at Tia, then at Eleanor, and remarked, "Tia, you've done something similar about foreign swans invading our royal swans."

Eleanor looked shocked.

Anne thought about it and realized it was true.

Prince Nuremberg's dream is almost a reality these days.

After all, if Tia really wanted a non-hereditary princely title, the royal family would probably consider granting it...

Eleanor glanced around, then stared at Tia incredulously, "Did Tia also trespass on the royal swans?"

..........

The swans have probably never been violated, but the situation with the royal family is another story.

Not only did they violate him, but they violated him many times.

Just as Eleanor was considering how to imprison and fine Tia, Kurd had already arrived at the Anti-Suppression Bureau office of the Grand Police Department and had just obtained the application and approval for the ocean-going vessel.

Because it was an ocean voyage, the boarding point was not Silverburg, but Nuremberg.

The requesting unit was the Newport Naval Base, and the escorting personnel were Saints. Therefore, although there was no danger on the way, the specifications were still raised: one light cruiser and four frigates.
