Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Tia happily pulled Vera to her feet, then pulled Vera to hug Eleanor, and the three of them rubbed their faces together.

"Eleanor!"

"Oh?"

"A great savior!"

"Oh!"

"Don't take me with you!"

Chapter 264 Vera is not confused about important matters

With the issue of going to sea for a promotion resolved, Tia took Vera to see the bedroom.

Vera's research team will remain in Iris for another month until the sea is completely calm. During this month, if Vera doesn't want to live in a pigeon coop on the ship and enjoy Ansu's specialty meat and noodle soup, she will have to find her own food, clothing, and lodging.

Perfect timing, Tia is going back to Ansu for a while, so the empty bedroom is available for her to stay in.

Eleanor's hotel suite has three bedrooms and one living room. Two bedrooms are occupied, and the remaining bedroom has not been cleaned for months. It is covered in dust and cluttered with miscellaneous items.

Tia felt awkward about letting Vera move to that dusty and messy room, and said, "Vera, you can stay with me for now. You can also help me take a look at this doll."

She knows Vera well, from her physical structure to her lifestyle.

Vera is a complete lazybones; expecting her to clean another room is wishful thinking.

Moreover, she is a severe bed addict; just now she heard Vera complain that the little pigeon coop on the ship was rocking and swaying, and she had been suffering from insomnia for several days.

Staying in her room is great; it has a familiar scent and the faint fragrance of sacred wood from the church, making it very comfortable to sleep in. Besides, Vera often sleeps in her bed at Silver Castle No. 16, so once you get used to it, you probably won't feel uncomfortable or anything.

This is what Tia was thinking.

But Eleanor raised her hand and said, "The other bedroom is bigger, and Vera will be more comfortable in it."

"Isn't there a lot of dust?" Tia asked.

"I've already sent the housekeeper to clean it."

Eleanor blinked, her face full of innocence and naivety.

Vera, swaying her bright red ponytail, exclaimed happily upon hearing about the larger bedroom, "Hehehe, I love Eleanor the most!"

This is wonderful!

A bigger bedroom, and you don't have to clean it yourself.

You don't even have to pay for the housekeeper!

Tia, hands on her hips, said with dissatisfaction, "Like me too!"

"Next time definitely!"

Vera makes a funny face.

Seeing this, Tia didn't say much. She grabbed Vera's ponytail and made the girl kneel down and beg for mercy, calling her "Mom."

Vera, oblivious to everything, called for her mother and then followed Tia to the kitchen to cook.

Tia doesn't usually cook, but since Vera was there, she went to the market in the castle district and bought some lamb leg, beef brisket, salmon, onions, apples, mushrooms, potatoes, and carrots. She also asked the housekeeper to bring some spices.

Tia was in the kitchen grilling salmon and lamb leg, and preparing dill cream sauce and mint sauce. Vera, on the other hand, was skillfully roasting potatoes.

—She really knows how to do that.

A moment later, Eleanor curiously peeked in, smelled the aroma of stewed beef brisket and herb-roasted potatoes, and swallowed hard. "Is it ready yet?"

"The lamb leg has just been put in the oven, it will take a while. The salmon should be ready soon."

Tia took off her gloves and said, "Eleanor, could you check the oven for me? You can pierce the fish; if it's firm, it's not done yet."

"Oh, I understand."

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

After Tia boldly handed the kitchen over to Eleanor, she and Vera went to the bedroom.

The bookshelves in the bedroom were piled high with ancient books and scrolls. Tia said, "These are books about ancient history and mysticism that I collected from Iris Garden, along with some ritual texts. Vera, could you help me organize them? I need to send them to Ansu afterward."

Vera became curious upon hearing this, picked up a few scrolls and took a look. She was shocked by what she saw.

She only looked at it for half a minute, and suddenly her head started to ache terribly!

Of the six scrolls and one book, she could only understand four. One scroll appeared to be a ritual text related to the prophet. The remaining three scrolls seemed to be advancement ritual texts, and the only one she could read smoothly was the advancement ritual text for replacing the scholar's sequence 6.

She felt dizzy looking at the remaining two scrolls.

And that book, she almost didn't see it. If Tia hadn't pointed it out to her, she wouldn't have noticed the existence of this ancient book.

In other words, she almost didn't even reach the threshold of just looking at this book, which is Sequence 7!

Vera looked at the book with lingering fear and said, "You didn't make some kind of deal with the evil god, did you?"

No, not at all.

Tia smiled and said, "That's a secret manual."

"Secret book?"

Vera's level is too low, and she has no idea what the secret manual is.

Tia said, "You don't need to know too much right now. It's basically something similar to some of the extraordinary knowledge I taught you before."

Vera was filled with awe.

She had previously learned some extraordinary knowledge from the "Book of Hearthfire" from Tia, mainly the art of precisely controlling the transformation of the four elements. But she almost didn't master even those techniques, and only after Sequence 7 did she truly grasp them.

The Book of Red Roses has a higher barrier to entry for both observation and reading than the Book of Hearthfire. Tia could read the Book of Hearthfire thoroughly, but after reading most of the Book of Red Roses, she began to struggle; she could understand it, but it was difficult to comprehend.

Vera painstakingly sorted the mountain of ancient books and scrolls according to their categories and uses, and then Tia took out the parchment scroll of the promotion ritual for the scholar sequence 6 and handed it to Vera.

Vera was stunned, surprised and touched.

She had always thought that Tia had come to the Iris Blossom Silver Hand and was not only living with Eleanor, but also having an ambiguous relationship with the eldest daughter of the Montreal family—but to be fair, Vera didn't think Tia would do such a thing.

She had asked around among the locals and found that this Miss Montreal's tastes were quite unusual.

—Rumor has it that a maid testified that this young lady would put necklaces around people's necks and then engage in all sorts of embarrassing play in the Montreal family's garden. Moreover, she is a severe hand and foot fetishist, not only enjoying having her feet licked, but also spending lavishly to see the most beautiful hands and feet in all of Mistmoon City. For a time, there was even a daily "Beautiful Hands and Feet Contest" in Mistmoon City!

It's too much of a mess!

Vera grew up in the church, and although the Holy Church wasn't exactly a traditional labor protection society, it wasn't this open-minded either! She wouldn't even read erotic novels like this!

Vera's young mind was instantly and intensely shocked. In her mind, Tia didn't seem like the kind of person who would succumb to such a demon.

But regardless, Tia's visit to the iris garden had nothing to do with Vera. Yet, she still specially prepared a gift for her.

Vera was so moved she almost cried, and holding the scroll, she asked, "Is this for me?"

"if not?"

"Don't you need to give something in return?"

Tia brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and joked, "You'll repay me with your body?"

Vera shrank back and honestly said, "Then forget it, forget it."

Hakira is like this.

When it comes to talking nonsense, they have no taboos; when it comes to actually doing it, they're as timid as mice.

Chapter 265 Here comes the chicken soup!

Newport News, the Earl of Mercury's mansion in the Great Harbour area.

Anne, with a hint of worry on her delicate and adorable oval face, finished writing the letter to Eleanor with pursed lips.

Boom boom boom!

Evelyn, carrying a plate of grapes and plums, opened the door a crack and said respectfully, "Miss Anne, may I come in now?"

"Sister Evelyn, please come in!"

"Madam noticed you hadn't eaten, so she asked me to bring you some fruit. But I think you should still eat, no matter what."

Anne let out a long sigh.

Evelyn asked with concern, "Young Miss, you haven't been in a good mood since you returned from Silver Castle. Is it because of what happened at school?"

"Oh dear! No, no, Evelyn."

What is that?

"Actually, it's my fault—my good friend, Vera from the church, wants... wants to go out to sea to rest for a while. But I recommended a ship to the Seven Seas to her, and right now there's a severe thunderstorm in the South Ansu Sea, I'm very worried about her..."

Anne was very worried.

If it were just a simple thunderstorm, that would be fine. She had talked to Vera in the Upside-Down Temple, and Vera had actually already gone to the Iris Flower Garden instead.

But according to Vera, the irises seem to be in disarray too!

Upon hearing Anne's words, Evelyn suddenly realized, "I see. Are you worried that the iris is too dangerous? But Ms. Bernice is with the iris, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Anne was still worried, "But Sister Evelyn! I heard there's a rebellion in Fogmoon City!"

"Huh? It wasn't reported in the newspapers."

"It was Vera who told me this in her letter! Apparently, the rebels stormed Fontaine Palace, and the Iris people even used cannons and cavalry! Even so, they couldn't quell the rebellion. The navy even mutinied, and their Knights mutinied and bombarded the port!"

"Is that so?"

Evelyn was also taken aback.

This isn't just a rebellion! This is practically another civil war!

No wonder the young lady was so worried about her friend's safety!

If this rebellion doesn't stop, even Ms. Bernice's friends are likely to be in grave danger.

Evelyn probably understood Anne's feelings.

Anne put down her pen, feeling somewhat agitated. It wasn't just the rebellion in Mistmoon that was affecting Vera, but also the safety of Tia and Eleanor.

In addition, the thunderstorms and rough seas at Ansu have slowed down the exchange of letters, and Tia's promotion ceremony will probably have to be postponed.

This made Annie even more worried.

Now all her best friends are in danger!

Anne put the written envelope inside the envelope, and then hid the pile of envelopes in the drawer. Only then did she ask, "Sister Evelyn, could you please deliver some food to North Harbor District for me?"

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

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

Contrary to Annie's expectations, the three of them are having a great time.

Before returning to Ansu, Tia took a shower to keep her doll body clean. For hygiene, she even had Eleanor look at the smallest corners and clean off all the dust and stains.

Although the shelf life of Sacred Wood is incredibly long, high-intensity use will accelerate its aging, so it still needs to be maintained.

But since it's from a first-person perspective, there are too many blind spots, so this maintenance work has to be done by someone else.

After taking a bath, Eleanor's hands were sore from exhaustion, and Tia didn't want to bother her any further, so she asked Vera to apply a special wood-based oil to her body.

After applying lotion, her skin was shiny and slippery, and Tia felt like that greasy senior sister...

In the bedroom.

As Vera applied oil to the naked Tia, she asked in confusion, "Aren't you going back to Ansu this afternoon?"

Tia said, "I want to go back, but I haven't been back for almost two months, and my physical condition is very poor. Also, my extraordinary characteristics are related to pain, so I can't go back rashly."

Vera wholeheartedly agreed.

This is indeed related to pain.

It is specifically designed to cause pain to people.

Vera, with a sudden burst of imagination, asked:

"If that soul is projected onto an iris, will you still need to defecate in your body in Ansu?"

"???"
