Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

It's strange. I had simulated what would happen nearly a month later before, but Avina didn't seem to tell me about it... Was it because their relationship wasn't as close as it is now?

It is indeed possible, because Avina's personality is strong. If they were just friends, Avina would definitely not show her humiliated and weak side.

“Why do they dare to do this?”

Ciel asked with some confusion, "They know you are from the Russell family."

"Of course they know,"

Avina sighed and said helplessly, "And they also know that the family members are eager for me to go bankrupt... Maybe someone in the family is behind this."

When talking about "certain people", Avina's tone became heavier, and she was obviously a little dissatisfied.

Logically speaking, if Avina went to Ansu and argued her case, she might be able to abolish the forced acquisition through legal means, but the price would be offending the Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Finance.

It's not that Avina is someone she can't afford to offend, but this compulsory acquisition case cannot be passed without the approval of Home Secretary William... William did not object to this matter, which means he tacitly agreed.

This indirectly indicates that there is no need for Avina to resist the acquisition bill anymore. If she continues to make trouble, she might even attract family members.

"If they do that... wouldn't it mean that after they build the railway, they can directly mine your nearby mine, process the gemstones at your gem processing plant, and then ship them to Ansu?"

Charles didn't know much about business operations, so this was all he could think of at the moment.

"Almost... The processing factory has retained it for me, and we've signed a contract, guaranteeing a monthly order quantity..."

Avina seemed weak when she said this.

In this case, the profit would be too small to satisfy Avina's desire to save more money.

“How low is the purchase price?”

Ciel asked curiously.

In her opinion, an ordinary small amount of money should not make Avina so angry.

"220 Soviet pounds per amák."

Avina almost uttered the word through gritted teeth.

“偏远一点的贫瘠矿区一般收购价在200苏镑每安亩，正常的煤矿铁矿都是500-2000苏镑，220苏镑……农田都有100苏镑。”

"My three mines are all gemstone mines, two crystal mines and one fluorite mine. The price they offered is 6 Soviet pounds."

After listening to Avina's explanation, Charles realized why Avina was so angry.

The price offered by the other party was obviously much lower than the market price.

But this price still made Ciel's mouth slightly open... She had never seen such a large sum of money.

Avina noticed Charles' expression and thought that he just thought it was too little, so she shook her head helplessly.

"Most of the areas surrounding Buren City are coal and iron mines. There are basically no suitable resources that can form high-value gemstone mines. Therefore, I only have some low-level gemstone mining areas. Even if I try to fight for them, I can't get more."

Moreover, this was not what made Avina most uncomfortable.

It's an allocation from Parliament.

Even if these three mining areas were sold at a low price, God knows how long the other party would delay the allocation of funds - this is the real reason why Avina felt that she would go bankrupt.

After telling Charles all this, Avina felt a little uncomfortable.

Originally, she had been working hard these days to earn enough money for herself and Charles to live a carefree life, or at least to survive the chain reaction caused by the emergence of "uniqueness". But now the plan is about to fall through before it even started, which makes her feel very depressed.

But Charles didn't seem to think so.

She just reached out and rubbed Avina's head, then asked, "Do you have any plans for the future?"

Charles knew that for a person as strong-willed as Avina, comforting her by saying things like "I'll support you" would only make Avina feel worse.

"Ah."

Avina nodded and said, "At least when it comes to gemstone production and processing, my factory is the best in the entire city of Burren. I plan to import some high-quality, premium gemstones and specialize in making high-value-added jewelry. This way, I can circumvent the problem of not having my own mine."

Seeing that Avina was not defeated by the setback, Charles smiled slightly, knowing that he didn't need to do anything for her.

After thinking for a moment, Ciel began to ask about the business. She asked, "Do you know about the lakeside banquet at Manor No. 7 on July 7th?"

"Oh... that? I received an invitation, but I haven't decided whether to go or not."

Avina looked at Charles with some confusion and asked, "You want to go?"

"Want to find out."

Ciel nodded and asked, "Do you know who is on the invitation list?"

"I don't know."

Avina shook her head. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Do you want to get the list? Openly? Or secretly?"

Ciel: "It's best not to let anyone else know."

Avina took a deep breath, sat up straight, turned to Charles, and asked cautiously: "Is this... your intelligence network asking you to ask?"

She seemed to have recalled the "fear" she had felt when she heard Charles mention the "intelligence network".

"almost,"

Ciel nodded, "There's someone at the party who needs special attention, and I must be there."

"Is it dangerous?"

Avina directly asked the most concerned question.

"There is no danger at the moment."

Ciel shook his head.

Being defeated by a Level 3 opponent, there really isn't much danger.

"I do not believe."

Avina didn't believe a word Charles said at this moment.

This matter really requires Avina's help. Charles directly grabbed Avina's hand and began to write on it with his fingers.

"Level 3", "Joy Club", "Subverter".

She wrote these three words on the palm of Avina's hand.

Avina took a deep breath.

A Level 3 "Disruptor" from the Joy Club?!

You call this not dangerous?

It's full of sinister and cunning antisocial elements. Their shadows can basically be seen behind major events in history. How can you say there is no danger?

The fact that a Level 3 "disruptor" from the Joy Club appeared in the city of Burren was already a sign of a serious problem.

and……

"Subversives" are usually very hidden. How did Ciel know...

Okay, well...it's the intelligence network again.

Avina originally thought that she could remain calm, but every time she heard information from Charles, she couldn't help but want to stay away from the city of Burren.

What exactly does the Joy Club want to do...

"If you hadn't heard this news, would you have chosen to go to that banquet?"

Ciel asked.

This is very important. We must not let the Joy Society notice that their main target, Avina, is behaving abnormally.

"meeting."

Avina nodded and said, "Basically, I will go to any invitation that can be handed to me personally."

"Then you can proceed as usual...but I can't go with you by your side."

After thinking for a moment, Ciel asked, "Is there any way for me to attend the banquet? Without joining you?"

After hearing Charles' question, Avina thought about it for a moment, and an immature plan came to her mind.

"I know a way..."

Avina looked at Charles in front of her, looking him up and down, her dark purple eyes flickering, as if she was thinking about something bad.

"any solution?"

Charles felt a chill down his spine when Avina stared at him.

"Generally speaking, for a large banquet like this, the manor wouldn't have enough staff, so they'd usually borrow some servants or maids from familiar nobles to work for a day..."

"Would you like to wear a maid outfit again, Ciel?"

Avina finally spoke these words, revealing her true intentions.

It seems that you have been thinking about it for a long time.

PS:

169

Chapter 169: Plan to replace the Key Man.

(Fixed a minor bug where the real-life Avina had never seen Ciel in a maid costume.)

Avina's "plan" sounded very reasonable, so Charles naturally agreed to it.

Now that the issue of how to get in has been resolved, Charles now only wants to know the invitation list for the banquet.

Avina told Charles not to worry too much about this.

Although aristocratic banquets are highly private and individual, they are not completely traceable. After all, except for some special banquets, no one will go out of their way to keep the list strictly confidential.

Moreover, the nature of the banquet on July 7 itself does not involve the extraordinary, and it is estimated that only a level 7 Opold will receive an invitation.

In order to obtain the list, Avina gave two simplest solutions.

One is through the butler - the preparation and invitation of general banquets are managed by the butler of the aristocratic family, and the servants between different aristocratic families are often in contact, which can be regarded as a secret information network.

Avina can contact the other party's butler through her own butler to obtain the list information.

The second method is simpler and more brutal.

That is to directly hypnotize the flower suppliers and invitation makers, and get some information about the invitation list from them.

In addition to these, there are four or five other ways to obtain the list.

"Don't worry, it's just a small matter."

Avina patted her chest and assured Charles that there would be no mistakes in this matter. Then, with a gleam in her eyes again, she asked, "Do you want to practice in advance?"

"Practice for what?"

Ciel asked doubtfully.

"Practice for becoming a maid."

Avina said as a matter of course, "Becoming a maid is not an easy thing, and the rules of different families are different. If you don't practice in advance, others will see through your disguise at a glance."

Avina glanced up and down at Charles, who was leaning against the sofa at the moment, shook her head with a serious expression, and commented:

"You don't look like a maid at all right now. Anyone who comes to see you will think you are pretending... How can a maid have such an expression and demeanor? If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are some young lady."

As if to further convince Charles, Avina continued, "Moreover, most of my servants and waiters have seen what you look like. You'll have to create a perfect disguise to fool them as well."

What you said... makes sense...

Ciel nodded somewhat reluctantly.

Anyway, I am not planning to simulate next. I plan to recover my spirit and it will take some time to get the list. I have nothing to do in the rest of the time. It seems that apart from reading, I can only do what Avina calls "practice".

"Ok."

Charles nodded and agreed to Avina's wishes.

Seeing Charles nod, Avina couldn't wait to stand up. She kept her face tense and expressionless to avoid the corners of her mouth from curling up in happiness too obviously.

"Okay, I have nothing to do tonight, so I'll teach you."

After saying that, Avina turned and walked towards the door, without giving Charles any chance or time to refute.

At this moment, Nia was lying by the window at the end of the corridor, looking at the sunset outside, her mind empty.
