Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Quick Peter, or Orlando Duke, was indeed a cautious and careful prophet. He probably had spies around his mother's flower shop. When Scarlett, in uniform, walked into the flower shop, the two were spotted.

But unfortunately——

I predicted your prediction!

Tia reached into her shirt pocket and pinched a handful of sea salt.

Great philosopher, Sequence 9!

Using salt as the medium and spirit as the bargaining chip, the soul's strength is weakened by 35% and the physical strength is increased by 70%.

Red cup, shining in blood!

Cut the arm, blood gushed out, and the physical strength increased by 20%.

The Light is ready and prepared to heal.

In an instant, Tia felt a slight sinking in her head, and then her vision, hearing, strength, physical strength, perception, coordination, and analytical ability seemed to have crossed a towering threshold and reached a realm she had never encountered before.

Even the slightest sound of wind brushing against her temples could be sensed and captured. She could now clearly sense the warmth of the Holy Light coursing through her veins, even through her internal organs.

What was originally vague in the darkness is now becoming more and more clear:

A dark figure was hiding behind an oak tree, about forty or fifty meters away. At this distance, in the darkness, even a trained observer would have difficulty detecting such traces.

But in Tia's eyes, it was like blatant robbery.

The furtive man was wearing a hat and had a silenced pistol in his hand, and was leaning forward quietly.

Click!

Before the dark shadow could react, Tia had already raised her elephant hunting rifle.

boom!

The primer exploded, and instantly the 11.2mm elephant hunting bullet flew out, hitting the man's wrist accurately. The elephant hunting rifle remained motionless in Tia's hand, and with a wail -

　Bang!

Two bursts of shots were fired. The figure in the darkness covered his shattered arm and was about to run away, but in an instant two bullets flew over and passed by him accurately on both sides.

The assassin in the darkness was a skilled gunman. He quickly guessed the technique used by Tia and was terrified to the extreme.

Fan-shaped scatter! And it was a fan-shaped scatter shot from an elephant rifle!

The so-called fan-shaped scattering is to fire continuously while swinging the arm, and the trajectory spreads out in a fan shape. Because it requires great strength, it is a technique that is only used by the church's knights after putting on armor and using power armor to resist recoil.

The previous shot blew off his entire right hand, which showed that the other party was not unfamiliar with shooting. These two shots were definitely intentional, forcing him to surrender and lead the way!

But how on earth could such thin arms withstand the recoil of the elephant hunting rifle?!

"Keep going. Lead the way. Take me to the prophet behind you."

Under the street light, Tia pulled the trigger and shot the assassin under his feet. The broken shrapnel pierced into his thigh.

Tia asked, "What's your name?"

"I don't have a name, they all call me White Cat... Shit, I'm dying!"

"White cat?" Tia took a look and saw that he was a middle-aged man in his thirties, but with pale hair.

He was currently using his clothes to sloppily bandage his right hand, but his technique wasn't particularly professional. It wouldn't be a big deal to say that this kind of injury was near-death—even if Tia left it alone, the white cat would bleed and go into shock.

"Since you are about to die, you can make the most of your last efforts. You can go find your prophet Peter now and tell him to come to me to pay you back. Or, I will go find him tonight."

"Ha! You're asking Quick Hand for money? That's screwed! He's already used his money to buy stuff. You know the workhouse kids, they cost 20 pounds each. That bastard Peter's having a good time in the Siren Song warehouse, while I'm suffering out there! I'm in so much pain! Just kill me! I'm definitely beyond saving!"

"To whom?"

"Gringo!"

Tia took out the submachine gun from her arms and pointed it at the back of the white cat's head. She said helplessly, "Then it seems I have no choice but to go find him myself."

--boom!

Volume 1: Chapter 44: Quick Action

--boom!

Tia, wearing a heavy windbreaker, kicked open the main door of the police station and shouted, "Scarlett! Prepare your weapons and come with me to the dock!"

She originally wanted to let the white cat lead the way, but unfortunately, some Hakimi just didn't understand human language and were wild and difficult to tame.

So Tia gave the other party a quick death.

If the wild cat didn't return home overnight, Peter, the quick-handed one, would definitely notice it, not to mention that he was a transcendent of the Prophet's Path. So Tia had to make a quick decision.

Scarlett hurriedly put on her chain mail, hung a straight sword around her waist, held a shotgun in her hand, and followed Tia closely.

The two of them left the Grand Harbor District Police Station in a hurry and headed straight for Copper Tube Street on the dock. Most of the people living here were outsiders, such as crew members on foreign merchant ships, merchants from far away, and some illegal immigrants from further east.

Of course, the presence of local gangs is inevitable in such a place with a mixed flow of people. Even though the Dagangwan District is much richer than the Beigang District, the invisible underground world also has its own set of order.

As she headed deeper into Copper Tube Street, she discovered a number of street-facing shops, all rented by nearby factories, offering samples or selling goods directly to customers. However, the warehouses were unmarked, and Tia couldn't possibly search through them all.

At a crossroads on Copper Tube Street, Tia and Scarlett stormed into a store.

There are signs at the door saying things like "Song of the Siren" and "Indulge in Sweet Dreams."

Outside the store, there was a group of drug addicts lying on the ground, and it was obvious what was sold in the store.

Lawrence Security.......

Tia thought that this security company had really given up its gang activities, but she didn't expect that they had stopped being a violent group and turned to pornography, gambling and drugs.

Lawrence Security and the Snake Gang are birds of a feather.

Tia picked up a bottle of the latest "Siren's Song" from the shelf and said to the owner with a chuckle:

"Psychotropic drugs?"

"Yes, my dear lady! This is the latest tranquilizing potion developed by our Siren Song Factory. It is a thousand times better than ordinary tranquilizing potions! Once you drink it, you will not only see heaven in your dreams, but you will also see heaven descend in reality! That is a truly divine experience!"

The shop owner didn't notice the playful tone in Tia's voice, and continued to introduce it vigorously, "We even asked Lawrence Security Company to notarize it. More than a dozen scientists have confirmed the effectiveness of the Siren Song! Just think about it, even the most intelligent scientists praise our Siren Song. It's really a good thing.

"Since this is your first time, I can give you a 20% discount. You can get a bottle for a very cheap price!"

Scarlett instinctively felt something was wrong, frowned slightly, and hid the shotgun tightly in her coat.

Tia asked, "How much?"

"Only 12 gold pounds," said the shopkeeper with a cordial smile.

"Give me a bottle of Siren Song." Tia threw out three bills, took a bottle of Siren Song from the shelf, handed it to the owner and said, "Give me a bottle."

The smile on the shop owner's face suddenly froze.

After a while, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Dear Madam, I think such a good medicine should be used on noble and elegant people. I am just a peasant..."

"Don't dare drink?"

“No, it’s…”

Before she finished speaking, Tia and Scarlett had already drawn their weapons at the same time. The black muzzle of the elephant hunting rifle was directly against the owner's forehead, and Scarlett was also holding a shotgun and aiming at the owner with a fierce look.

This scene immediately frightened the shop owner so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. Damn, he thought they were nobles coming to purchase goods.

I didn’t expect to run into robbers!

What era is this? How can there still be home invasions?!

Tia said faintly, "Selling fake medicine, huh? Do you know what the crime of selling fake medicine is? I hate you illegal drug manufacturers the most. You bastards, how many people have you made sick? I wish I could beat you all to death right now."

The shop owner forced a fawning smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Dear ladies, we're willing to compensate you, and we can also compensate you with ten bottles of higher-purity, authentic Siren Song! But we don't have it in stock in the store, so I have to go to the cold storage room over in the warehouse to get it..."

That’s what I’ve been waiting for!

Tia unhooked the gun and said coldly, "You want to run? I don't want your Siren Song. Come in with me now and give me all the money."

The shop owner cursed inwardly: "I've been waiting for you to say this! How dare you come in and try to run away?!"

Who gave you confidence?

That crappy gun that can knock your wrist off with one shot?

"Please come in with us, we can go to the warehouse through the back door."

The shop owner, bent over, led Tia and Scarlett out. He opened the back door with his key and they were led to a stinking alley filled with sewage. Further down the alley, they came to an old warehouse.

Great, found it.

Tia made a gesture to Scarlett, and Tia pointed the gun at the owner's head, while Scarlett stood guard with the gun behind him.

Scarlett's extraordinary characteristic is that "when she turns her back to someone she trusts, her perception of loopholes in the surrounding environment becomes more acute." Turning around, Scarlett's perception of scenes, sounds, smells, etc. in all directions suddenly becomes much sharper.

The tobacco smoke in the warehouse, the number of footsteps, the rhythm of voices in the warehouse...Scarlett made a "four" gesture towards the warehouse door.

Four behind the door.

With the muzzle of the gun against the shop owner's lower back, Tia said, "Open the door for me."

The innkeeper's eyes rolled around, and he knocked on the door and shrilled, "Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood, open the door quickly! Grandma, grandma, come home. Wake up the huntsman and his mother, for I have brought bread and wine."

Behind the door, several burly men stopped and pointed their pistols at the door. The guns in their hands were all discarded by the police station, and some were even from the army.

The remaining burly man stood by the red button that raised and lowered the gate. He hushed his voice and said, "Little Red Riding Hood, Little Red Riding Hood, shake your braids. Grandma, don't worry. The gifts are ready. Nightingale, please rest for a while. Be careful not to run around."

——Press the button.

Boom! Boom!

The door opened, and Tia saw four burly men behind the door, each holding a large-caliber pistol, staring fiercely at Tia and Scarlett. The moment the owner saw the muzzle of the gun, he threw his head to the ground and screamed hoarsely:

"These are the ones, shoot!"

Bang bang bang bang!

As soon as the word "shoot" was uttered, a string of bullets flashed and flew past the store manager's head.

The store manager thought it was one of his own who fired the shot, and was overjoyed. He quickly raised his head and looked over.

After a few screams, four burly men fell to the ground in a mess.

A faint white smoke was coming out of the barrel of the submachine gun in Tia's hand.

Immediately, she kicked the shop owner on the butt, pointed the gun directly at his disbelieving eyes, and said lightly: "What are you expecting?"

Volume 1: Chapter 45: Life and Death Are Destined, Fortune and Honor Are God's

"Siren Song" potion factory, inside the warehouse.

The warehouse's ceiling was lit with gas lamps, and piles of wooden boxes lined up on both sides. Several copper pipes passed through the tops of the boxes, connecting to the boiler room at the back that powered the main door and freight elevator.

Following several gunshots outside the door, the freight elevator slowly rose. Orlando Duke, who was already in his forties, walked into the boiler room leisurely, leaning on a cane, wearing a dark blue tuxedo and a bowler hat.

Behind the boiler room was the side door leading to the dock. Two believers in white robes embroidered with gold were guarding the door.

One of the believers' white robes was embroidered with a golden sun and the other with two entwined snakes. When they saw Orlando, they immediately lowered their heads respectfully.

Orlando walked over with his cane, as if he hadn't heard the gunshot at all, and asked slowly, "Has Bishop Lexus arrived?"

As soon as the words fell, the two believers spoke almost at the same time:

"My Lord! The Bishop is at sea. The warships of the Hand of Transformation attacked the Saint Komond, where the Bishop is!"

"Saint Comund! Fortunately, the bishop is very capable and has stirred up a storm to deal with those annoying traitors."

"Traitor! Prepare the medicine the Bishop needs. We need more Siren Song!"

"Song of the Siren! When the stars are right the serpent will rise from the sea!"

"Rise up! Witness the miracle! Master Orlando, the bishop's divine power protects you!"

"Oh..." Orlando said perfunctorily, not paying much attention to the two believers who sang the same tune.

To be honest, he didn't really like hanging out with cultists, as they always smelled like fish.

But for the sake of money, he reluctantly agreed to the commission from Lawrence Jr. two years ago, and got a bargaining chip that he could not refuse. He opened the Siren Song Pharmaceutical Factory in the Grand Harbor Area to produce the psychotropic drug "Siren Song".

This is actually a ritual item, and its real purpose is to allow people to break through their limits when diving deep and reach depths that are simply unattainable under normal circumstances.

Therefore, this medicine is incredibly helpful for the promotion ceremony. After taking it, the diving depth will be increased by 500m-1000m.
