Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Roman glanced at Kurd and simply said, "Some of Her Highness Eleanor's personal matters. It's probably related to some extraordinary characteristics. She needs to go to the Alchemy Society and find the president."

Kurd was confused.

But Tia understood it clearly - it was the curse on Eleanor.

However, there was no way to expand on this topic, so Tia left hastily.

As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Albert again shaking the rotary phone and scolding all the officials in Silver Castle who were responsible for the church's boarding.

Tia also seemed to see the phone number of the Newlondon King District Police Headquarters.

Without a second thought, she just slipped away.

She didn't go back to Newlon Port directly. She stayed in Silver Castle for a day and went back the next day.

When I returned home, I projected my soul onto the doll.

The boat had been calm for the past few days, which was a bit boring to be honest, but fortunately, the voyage only took three or four days. When Tia's soul projected over this time, the church's transport ship had already arrived at the coast of Boliu and directly entered the inland Broken Gold River.

This is a wide inland river that leads directly to the City of Misty Moon. Entering the waterway means that you are not far from the City of Misty Moon.

Tia played board games with Eleanor in the crew dormitory all morning. By the time they had dinner at noon, several transport ships had all docked.

However, after getting ashore, they were both priests of the church. They were each given a black priest robe with a white top, and then stayed temporarily in a big hotel on the river bank.

The lively white-haired girl had just finished checking in with Eleanor at the front desk when she saw Pastor Matthew standing at the door supporting an old lady.

Matthew saw Tia and exclaimed, "Ms. Bonaparte! Do you live here?"

"Reverend, my partner and I need to stay here temporarily because of some work needs."

"Oh, mate!"

Eleanor nodded happily behind Furninna. She was quite satisfied with the name. She chewed the cake for a while and said with satisfaction, "Partner!"

Furninna bowed to the old lady and asked with concern, "Reverend, is this your mother? Do you live nearby?"

"No, no. Ah, I mean I don't live nearby." Matthew blushed and said, "You really think too highly of me. This is a prime location in Mistmoon City. How could I live here? My sister Daisy works at a newspaper. She has to go to the city hall to write news for the executive meeting and take photos on the scene. So she used her extra funds to rent a decent house for me to stay temporarily."

"My mother heard I was back and came to greet me...but her eyesight isn't very good, so please don't mind."

"Of course not!" Funina said gently, "But I have some herbal remedies that can treat old age eye diseases. You can go back and ask the old man to brew some."

"Thank you, thank you."

Matthew felt even more ashamed. He was the pastor and should have been the one helping others, but he was the one who was helped repeatedly.

After he left with his mother, his mother, Mrs. Anderson, whispered, "Matthew, although I couldn't see clearly, I could tell that he was a good person. Next time you see him, bring him some gifts."

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

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

After checking in at the hotel, nothing happened for a few days until April 4th.

Tia took advantage of these few days to do a simple investigation in Wuyue City, and basically figured out the city's road network and district divisions. She also got a hand-drawn map by a local.

Afterwards, he contacted the crows and identified several forces in Misty Moon City. The forces in this small Misty Moon City were quite complicated. Although the Republican faction of the Alchemy Society quickly established a temporary control committee to rule the country, its structure was crude, even worse than Tia's Newlon Port Defense Bureau.

Under such circumstances, the various Iris heroes who already advocated the way of the unsheathed blade were even more undercurrents.

But, these have nothing to do with Funina.

Tia now has one and only one goal, which is to let Marn Cullen and Holly find the successors of Saint Yar in the empire, the underground church called the Blind Monks.

Volume 1: Chapter 168 I'm here to see my senior, what are you doing?

When the rain stopped and the sky cleared up in Silver Castle, far away in the holy city of Solomon, Marn Cullen, who had just disembarked from the ship and stepped into this magnificent, classical, and artistic capital, felt only the wind and rain.

On the first day they entered the empire, Captain Sotai and his transport ship were detained by the Imperials. Holly rode her dog and broke open the prison gate under the cover of night, saying something nonsense like "I'm going to find the Blind Monk Seminar" and then ran away.

The undecided imperial people chose to send the remaining two, Maan and Sotai, to the imperial capital Solomon.

The good news: He does have connections in Solomon City.

The bad news is: I can’t contact any of my connections at all!

His so-called connection was with one of the three great leaders of the Hand of Transmutation, the Transmutation Scholar Berg Rexha, a direct student of the "President" of the Alchemy Society. After the Hand of Transmutation defected to the Empire, Rexha also took on a part-time position as the Supreme Advisor of the Inquisition's Research Institute, second only to the Institute's "Chief Mage," who held the Sequence 2 Alchemy Path.

The prison in Solomon City was far more solid than the leaky Hurkacz. Here, they encountered three Sequence 5 transcendents from the Inquisition, Maan, making it impossible for them to escape.

But in fact, Lexa knew very well that Marn had been detained in Solomon Prison. As a Sequence 3, he knew everything about his old friend.

In the underground fortifications of the research institute, Lexa, dressed in a black robe, said hello and asked all the apprentices to leave the huge, fully enclosed test site in the center of the fortifications.

One of his most admired apprentices, Sera, followed closely behind him. He was a young man in his twenties, very energetic. To be honest, Lexa felt that it was a bit of a waste of his talent to come to the institute.

If Sera had a better family background, a minor noble or even a wealthy businessman, she wouldn't have to work for him.

Saira reported, "President, Mr. Maan is still in prison and wants to see you. Do you want to meet now?"

Lexa waved his hand and said, "Tell him not to have such wishful thinking. Don't I know him? He's definitely planning to come to the Empire and practice his scam again."

"President, Mr. Maan is a smart man..."

"Smart? You think too highly of him. He's not smart at all." Rexa chuckled. "He simply doesn't have the potential to develop in the Unsheathed Blade, especially since he wants to skip the Ascension Ceremony and directly complete the deep dive from Sequence 9 to Sequence 4! If he had delved deeper into the Forging Hammer over the past twenty years, he would have been a Sequence 4 by now.

"I tried to persuade him so many times, but he still refused to change his ways. He's a complete idiot!"

Sera said embarrassedly: "But President, although you may think so. But the ministers in the palace don't seem to think so..."

"What are they going to do?" Lexa was slightly startled. Just then, a few apprentices came over, and he raised his hand to ask them to stop.

Sera hesitated for a moment, then spoke out: "Grand Duke Chapelle of the palace thinks this is a good opportunity. Although Mr. Mann is famous, he is the one who knows Iris best. Moreover, he is one of the few students of the old president of the society. No matter what outrageous things he does, the society can't kill him. And it just so happens that there are still a large number of people in Iris who support the royal party, so..."

"So Grand Duke Chapelle wants to send him back to Iris and have him contact the royalists in Iris to weaken Iris's power? Maybe they'll even create two kings, one for the Empire and one for Iris, right?"

Lexa said angrily, "Since they're willing to mess around like this, let them do it. Saira, go to the prison and get Maen out."

Sera quickly bowed and agreed, and immediately took the elevator to the upper surface.

The remaining apprentices looked at each other in confusion.

One of them said, "Teacher, the potions you asked us to make have all been distributed. According to your request, the Empire, Iris, Anzu, even the Theocracy, the small countries in the mountains, and the Seven Seas have all distributed some of them through the black market."

"Well done." Lexa nodded, his face full of praise. "After the potion is distributed, you can return your focus to the project the Emperor requested. If this goes well, I'll finish teaching you everything I need to know by next year. Then you can start your apprenticeship."

After explaining all this, he couldn't help but sigh. When he reached the surface, he glanced in the direction of the prison and hurried to the palace.

And QU N棋H哇厁澪@飼#6 ⑨器伞⑷the other side.

Saira had just arrived at the prison and brought out Maan Cullen.

Maan was in high spirits, even though he had been in jail for the second time in just a few months, but who was he!?

Back when he was scamming people in Wuyue City, he had to make an appointment with the prison! Not to mention being in prison twice, even being in prison four or six times was common for him.

His time in prison was about the same as a vacation.

Marn got into Saira's carriage and said gratefully, "I have to thank you, my friend! If you encounter any trouble, just come to me."

"That's fine, sir. I'm just running errands for President Lexa. It's nothing that would bother you."

③⑷０7爾二⑷b〒〕?a4Hearing Lexa’s name, Maan was so moved that she almost cried!

He thought his connections were useless after twenty years!

In the end, a friend in need is a friend indeed!

Maan was moved and said, "Did the senior finally receive my message?"

"Uh...I got it."

Sera didn't want to destroy the friendship between Mr. Marn and his mentor, so she didn't say anything more, just nodded, and sent Marn to the upper city of Solomon City.

The divisions of Solomon City are more strictly hierarchical than those of Silver Castle and Misty Moon City. They are not divided according to functional roles at all, but are forcibly divided into upper city, middle city and lower city.

As soon as they arrived at the destination, Maan felt something was wrong.

Why does this look like a noble mansion?!

Where's my senior? Did he become a noble?

Marn was alarmed, and his intuition as a superhuman told him that this matter was not simple.

Although Senior Lexa is handsome and looks like he is from an aristocratic family, Marn knows very well that this senior scoffs at the class divisions of the nobility and the empire. He believes that "this is a complete insult to the Father of All Things."

The reason why this senior left Iris was not because of the ideological dispute over sublimation and transformation within the society, but because he was exiled for advocating the establishment of the Iris Church.

Saira coaxed, "Mr. Maan, the man who rescued you from prison is inside. Are you sure you don't want to go in and pay him a visit?"

Faced with Sera's persuasion, Marn reluctantly walked into this magnificent aristocratic mansion.

Walking through the courtyard, Marne saw the long-awaited Duke Chapelle, who was wearing a fox hunting cloak and had dozens of medals hanging on his chest. He immediately knew that he had fallen into a trap.

Da da!

Two rows of guards armed with muskets lined up on both sides. Duke Chapel clapped his hands in welcome, "Fire! Congratulations to our great inventor, Mr. Mammon Cullen, on his new life!"

After a few gunshots, Maan was surrounded by two guards on both sides.

The great inventor shook off the guard's arm and said in a panic, "I'm here to see Senior Lexa! Where is Senior? What are you doing?"

Volume 1: Chapter 169: Rebellious Maan and the Blind Monk of the Yale Sect

In a small room in the Duke's mansion in the upper part of Solomon City, Duke Chapelle openly showed his power to Marne.

This is a strong, silver-haired old man with a mustache and medals hanging all over his clothes. Although he is over seventy years old, he sits there with his back straight, and looks as solemn, serious and cautious as if he is sitting on a time bomb.

When Marn tried to use Lexa as a shield, Duke Chapel swept his hawk-like eyes over the great inventor and clapped his hands, saying, "President Lexa? He's still in the palace helping His Majesty deal with those prophets from Arabia. I'm afraid you've misunderstood something."

"The fundamental reason you are here is because I, Your Majesty's loyal Duke Chapelle, think you are an excellent candidate to win over.

"You, Marn Cullen. The elite mentor of the Alchemy Society, the last student of the 'President' before he fell into eternal damnation, a great inventor, a fraudster, a financial criminal, a shameless villain. What a contradictory and wonderful title, right?"

Maan smacked his lips and said, "The first part is fine, but the second part is pure slander. Let's be frank, Your Excellency the Duke. I will not agree to any of your requests until my senior or advisor arrives. Let me see them first."

"I can hand over all those technical patents, fraudulent techniques, and the property I left in Herodias City to the Empire to help it accomplish its great cause. As long as I can meet you, senior..."

Maan became more and more excited as he spoke, and the guards on both sides immediately took action to hold him down.

"Demand? What nonsense are you talking about?" Chapelle asked the guards on both sides to release the struggling Maen and laughed out loud, "This is a cooperation!"

Bullshit cooperation!

If he wanted to cooperate, why would I have to fire two shots to scare him when I met him?

Maan cursed in his heart, and then he heard Chapel open his hands and said, "We need you, Mr. Maan Cullen, to join our magnificent and glorious cause and make the Solomon Empire great again!"

To speak human language is treason.

Maan immediately said, "I agree!"

Chapel was surprised for a moment, then his smile widened. He clapped his hands and said, "Very good, I knew it. Mr. Munn is so successful in the business world, so he must be a gentleman who knows how to act and judge situations."

"Can I see the senior now? If you have any other requests, please tell me now!"

"A request? The rest isn't a request, it's a mission. This is a difficult and extraordinary mission. You should consider carefully whether you want to take it on."

"First, tell me what this mission is."

"That won't do. I can only tell you if you truly agree. This is His Majesty's order. I'm sorry, an old man, cannot agree to your terms. But..."

Duke Chapel sat in a chair, his hands on his knees, and said, "I can reveal to you the rich reward for this quest: the treasures from the Alchemical Society and the Ansu Library. They are the seventy-two secret books of King Solomon from over a thousand years ago—the power behind the destruction of the Holy Grail Age, the shortcut to becoming a saint, and the origin of the nine paths."

"The Secret Book of Solomon?!"

Maan's breathing immediately stopped and his heart began to beat violently.

He never expected that the so-called reward would be this thing - although many people, even extraordinary people, did not know the value of these secret books and did not know the true purpose of these secret books, but he, who studied under the "President" of the Alchemy Society, knew the secret of the secret books well.

The seventy-two secret books are composed of ten original books from each of the seven earthly paths. These seventy original books are "secret books" in the true sense.

The remaining two books, the Book of Man and the Book of the Sea, belonged to the Creator and Ouroboros, respectively. Because they completely transcended the seven paths of humanity, they were also known as "forbidden books." Upon their transport to Anzu, the copies of the two forbidden books were destroyed by the Holy Church and the Knights Templar to prevent them from spreading to future generations.

The seven paths, as depicted in the prophetic diagram of the Mad Prophet Abdullah of the Arab Empire, resemble seven halos or seven planets, and were known in ancient times as the "Seven Pillars." The ten secret books are also known as the "Ten Origins," signifying the origins of the paths.

The most basic requirement for advancement to Sequence 3 is reaching the root of any path. Therefore, these secret tomes carrying shortcuts to sainthood are extremely attractive to transcendents of the four paths: Alchemy, Prophecy, Holy Grail, and Oak in the Earth.

Although Maen was not among these four paths and was not instantly overwhelmed by desire, he still found it difficult to calm down.

Satisfied, Duke Chapel had the guards bring a chair and forced Marne to sit opposite him.

Marn took a deep breath and said, "My Lord Duke, the secret book is very precious. But it is, after all, the secret of the realm of saints. Even if we mortals obtain it, we can't know the knowledge contained therein, right?"
