Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Her voice was trembling slightly.

"Tia, is something wrong with Tia's health?"

"Uh...no. Miss Sulph is a little...a little...a little offensive. May I be frank, Miss?"

"Evelyn, hurry up and tell me! Just tell me what you saw!"

Evelyn then let out a long sigh of relief and said bluntly, "Miss Sulph seems a bit too weak, as if she has overindulged in sex."

Chapter 267 Tia's New Moon

"Evelyn! You mean Tia is actually perfectly fine?"

"Ah, yes. And Miss Sulf also told me that the irises aren't actually that chaotic. She said she learned it from the overseas branch of the Friday Business Daily—by the way, does the Friday Business Daily even have such a department?"

Evelyn was a little confused.

She remembered that Friday's Economic Daily was a local newspaper in New York, London and Hong Kong. Not to mention whether they had a branch office for Iris, they didn't even have a branch office for Silverburg.

However, Evelyn reluctantly believed Tia's confident assertions.

But on the sofa, Annie's cheeks puffed up like a pufferfish as she hugged her chest and sulked.

The Friday Economic Daily certainly doesn't have this department!

Tia knew the reason for this very simple—she had been with the iris all this time!

Not only did he go to see the irises, but he also indulged in excessive sexual activity!

Anne's cheeks were puffed out, and Evelyn couldn't resist poking them.

I can't help it, they're just too cute.

"Evelyn!"

"I'm listening."

"Don't touch me!"

Anne kicked angrily, trying to drive Evelyn away.

Evelyn chuckled and asked, "Then, Miss, once Miss Sulph has recovered, will you still invite her to our home for dinner?"

"Let her do it herself!"

"Ok."

Annie jumped off the sofa and stormed off to the bedroom.

Evelyn followed closely behind Anne as they walked through the flower garden, just as the lady and the count entered from outside, whispering sweet nothings.

Anne inherited Mrs. Edwina Mercury's delicate features, and her long, golden hair was as thick and smooth as her mother's. However, Mrs. Mercury's demeanor was clearly more mature, exuding the charm of a noblewoman in every gesture.

Seeing Anne storm off to her bedroom in a huff, Mrs. Mercury stopped Evelyn and asked curiously, "Who made her angry again?"

Evelyn didn't say it directly, but said tactfully, "I think it must be some kind of director, but she doesn't want to reveal her name."

The lady suddenly realized, "So it's little Sulph."

In the distance, Peric also walked over. He hadn't been paying attention, only catching the name "Sulph," and was somewhat puzzled, "Sulph is better now?"

He remembered that Tia had a chronic illness—though it sounded like a load of nonsense.

Perrick probably understood that it was something that couldn't be revealed.

Moreover, Tia hadn't been to work or checked attendance for two months, and the police department hadn't criticized her at all; in fact, the Queen was going to award her a medal. Perrick probably figured that out.

Evelyn respectfully placed her hand on her breast and said:

"Yes, sir. Miss Sulph is almost fully recovered. However, she is a little weak. The young lady originally wanted to invite her, but because she is not feeling well, it will have to be postponed for a day or two."

Perrick didn't seem to care and said, "Annie is just being childish. Ignore her."

"But now that Sulph is better, let's invite her over for dinner sometime when she's fully recovered. Isn't the Silver Castle award ceremony in September? Let her come over and have a few days of fun."

Perrick chuckled, "And while you're at it, teach Annie her extraordinary skills. After all, their anti-counterfeiting bureau is best at that."

Edwina shook his arm and glared at Perrick reproachfully, "It's better to keep Annie away from supernatural powers."

“They can’t be stopped,” Perrick said with a double meaning. “Besides, Sulph is a promising person.”

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

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

After sending Evelyn away, Tia cooked a meal for people in the kitchen.

A pot of lamb and vegetable soup, fish and seafood stew with mashed potatoes, Wellington steak, and a side of grilled trout with almonds.

He ate quite a lot, like he has a huge appetite.

However, Tia had been poisoned by the world of culinary disasters for too long, and her nutrition was inadequate. She needed to eat more to have any strength.

Without using rituals to enhance her physical strength, her current combat power is roughly equivalent to Anne pinning her down on the bed and being unable to fight back, or Vera grabbing a door panel and fighting her, only to laugh like a chicken or a dog.

The pure physical body is about 0.5 amps.

After dinner, Tia took a shower to clean her sticky body. After bathing, she prepared the ritual materials for meditation and deep diving in her bedroom.

She always had all the necessary materials: incense, herbs, essential oils, candles, coins... she had them all.

Complete the meditation ritual and begin the deep dive.

After everything went black, my consciousness passed through the gaps in the material world and sank into the deep sea.

As she descended to 38000 meters, the gentle force of the inverted temple guided her to the top of the altar.

From inside the altar, Tia saw that Branna was also in the temple, but she was cautiously interacting with the strange, monstrous spirits on the outside. A strange spirit that looked like a soda can was particularly interested in her. Little Red, on the other hand, ignored Branna, occasionally extending a tentacle to play rock-paper-scissors.

The spirit whale spewed out a torrent of water and swam over Brenna's head without even glancing at her.

Noticing the return of energy from the altar, Brenna hurriedly returned to the temple and bowed her head, saying, "My Lord! I was just observing the deep-sea turbulence outside, and the gods outside told me that the turbulence is rising."

"Turbulence? We'll talk about that later."

Tia, not believing in superstition, conjured up two apples for Brenna to see, one glossy and smooth, the other covered in bluish spots.

Which of these two apples is edible?

Brenna asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'can eat'?"

"...That's alright, let's continue talking about the turbulence."

"As you will! The gods have observed that the turbulence is becoming increasingly violent, expanding from 38,000 to 42,000 meters to 35,000 to 40,000 meters."

Brenna said with some concern, "I think there must be a problem with the divine ritual during the ascent. The ritual may be being obstructed while it is in progress, which is why the depth of the sanctuary is fluctuating so much."

"The turbulence is indeed troublesome... but we can't interfere too much right now. This depth is already affecting the laurel forest. Let Shrike and Freya keep a close watch on it."

Tia said, "Branna, I have an important task for you."

"As you wish!"

“Very good. I need to locate the deep-sea coordinates of a nightmare, at a depth of 33000m. You don’t need to enter the nightmare, but you must pay close attention to its fluctuations.”

Nightmares exist stably and independently in the deep sea.

If there are fluctuations, such as a sudden increase in the surrounding water pressure, the attraction of a large number of spiritual beings, or the presence of apostles in the vicinity, it indicates that a supernatural being has entered the nightmare.

Tia's main purpose in having Brenna observe the sanctuary was to guard against Santis.

The former president's sanctuary is quite unique. According to Brigitte, if the sanctuary's master doesn't enter, it will appear on the new moon day of each month, which is also Tia's chance to enter the sanctuary.

—As for Santis, Tia couldn't really figure out how he was going to get into the Sanctuary.

The sanctuary has an owner. Unless the otherworldly god that Ulrich transformed into falls, Santis will be sensed by Ulrich the moment he enters the sanctuary.

But it's hard to say.

Tia hadn't encountered many Sequence 4s before, let alone established ones. Who knows what tricks they might have up their sleeves?

Assuming that Santis will enter the sanctuary, the date of the new moon becomes very important.

As far as Tia knows, the universal calendar used in this world is a solar calendar rather than a lunar calendar, so the most recent new moon date is not early August, but between July 24th and July 27th.

The exact time will depend on observing the stars at night, but it will be at most three or four days.

Chapter 268 Vanessa: You'll see your legs get broken!

Tia never expected that the work she had accumulated from not coming to the police station for the past two months would cause Vanessa to erupt in fury like a lioness.

Tia had just arrived at the police station that morning, and before she could even finish her breakfast at the station cafeteria, the silver-haired woman aggressively grabbed her arm and dragged her into the office. Tia tried to struggle to take away the plate she had just prepared, but her weak body left her no room for resistance, and she could only protest verbally.

Moreover, Vanessa's reasoning left Tia speechless—

Vanessa said angrily, "Did your lover break your legs at Silver Castle? Why were you perfectly fine two months ago, but after going to Silver Castle, you've been bedridden for two whole months?"

This is truly difficult to refute.

After all, she couldn't exactly point to a portrait in a newspaper article about "Furnessa Bonaparte" and accuse her of what she had done. That would only earn her a cold rebuke from Vanessa: "Oh my god, that's me!"

In the office, Vanessa sat on the sofa with a blank expression.

Tia separated the stack of documents piled high on the table, leaned out, and said helplessly, "Vanessa, I know this work is quite annoying, but you can't just dump it all on me, can you? It's too much..."

"What else do you know? Director, my dear Director Sulf, do you know how I've been these past two months? I haven't even had time to be with my girlfriend because of work."

"That's because you have too many girlfriends..."

"That's not important, the important thing is that there's just too much work."

Vanessa took a few sips from the tin flask, then looked at Tia seriously and said, "Director, my dear Sulph, whether we hire temporary staff or you help me with the work, we have to find a way to solve all these problems instead of dumping them all on one person."

“You’re right, Vanessa.”

Tia also considered carefully before saying, "I'll write to the Silver Castle Police Department later and ask them to send some people here."

Vanessa's wine jug hovered in mid-air as she frowned and said, "The people of Silver Keep are all misers. Would they send anyone to help us?"

"The National Police Agency and the Anti-Corruption Bureau will understand."

Tia wasn't worried about that, since Pope Peter and Lady Bernice knew about her affair with the Iris, and it seemed the Queen probably knew as well.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have suddenly come to her to award her the medal.

The Grand Police Department and the Anti-Corruption Bureau are directly under Her Majesty the Queen.

Vanessa's face showed a hint of surprise. She put away the wine jug, stood up, and walked to her desk. "Roman has this kind of power?"

Tia said, "It has nothing to do with the jazz."

“I understand.” Vanessa immediately recalled some rumors about “Tia Sulph” and the long-dormant Princess “Eleanor Moen” from Silver Castle.

To be honest, gossip is actually quite common.

But the gossip about these two was unusually detailed, even specifying which floor and studio in the Ansu National Art Building. Since Tia had given her the address before, Vanessa also knew that Tia lived at 16 Crown Street, Silver Castle.

Based on her resume of at least a hundred relationships, and the eccentricities of her bureau chief daughter—

Tia interrupted Vanessa's thoughts and said, "I'll take care of the work here. Could you bring me my breakfast?"

"Still thinking about breakfast? It'll be cold by now."

"I got this for free through my own skill, why shouldn't I eat it? Tell the kitchen to heat it up for me."

Vanessa pursed her lips and said, "I'll go get it later. Are you free at noon? There's a police department meeting in Kings District."

Tia asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

"No rush, it's just a small meeting to summarize the key points."

"Then I won't go. I have other things to do."

"what?"

"I'm going to the Earl Mercury's house tonight. I'm good friends with his daughter, Anne. We haven't seen each other for two months, so I'm going to pay my respects."

Tia was annotating the document with her pen when she casually added, "By the way, I'm going on a sea trip soon, which will probably take about half a month."

Vanessa's face instantly turned cold. "So, you're going to give up your job at the police station and hand it over to me for the next two weeks?"

"Of course not, there are also people I brought from Silver Castle, I guess I'll need you to act as their agent for a while... Hey? Vanessa, don't go!"

"You'd better wait until Miss Anne breaks your legs and you'll be bedridden for half a month."
