Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Outside the police station, an ordinary carriage had been parked on the road for quite some time. Chief Roman, condescending to act as the driver, sat in the front seat, looking nonchalant.

Prince Albert opened the car window and listened to the entire conversation, and couldn't help but admire the girl.

He picked up the gold watch with his name engraved on it and looked at it. It was already noon.

Albert exclaimed in admiration: "Roman, you have such a sharp eye! You can even discover such a talent!"

Roman said helplessly, "Fate is always so unpredictable. I just wanted to investigate a case...Who knows how many talented people there are in this city..."

"Yes, yes. Although those critics are useless, they are right in one point: there are some problems with our society. At the very least, the kingdom has overlooked too many talented people! I think it's time to expand university enrollment!"

"Ah, Albert, my prince, sir! Hell is empty, and the devil is on earth! You, the great devil, can sometimes be a little human!"

"No, no. Roman, you misunderstood. A university led by the royal family will help increase our prestige. At least it will make us look like the good guys. This way, we'll encounter fewer obstacles when issuing decrees that are unfavorable to them. And talented people gather in Silver Castle, which will help prevent them from causing trouble."

"Albert, you fucking bastard."

Prince Albert laughed and said, "Roman! What you said just now is indeed true. Hell is empty, and the devil is on earth! This place is no longer the human world, this is hell!"

Roman shook his head helplessly and could only say that he hoped this person would not dare to say such nonsense in public next time.

This is the best way to force someone to the gallows.

Albert said, "Okay Roman, I'm not here to discuss government affairs with you. I have my eye on that Sulf."

"You're into that? You bastard!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm already in my thirties and have a family. My daughter is almost as old as that kid. I mean she's suitable to be Eleanor's friend. You can try to get her to date Eleanor."

In this world, both good and bad people are common, but those who are willing to treat others with sincerity are quite rare. This is why Eleanor often encounters obstacles in social interactions.

Eleanor was the glow in the glass.

Glass represents fragility, illusion and coldness, which Eleanor is instinctively afraid of touching, and also makes people who don't know her or meet her for the first time step back after seeing it; while glow represents illumination, refraction and reflection, which allows Eleanor to naturally see the true intentions and duplicity of others' actions, which is a cost-free mind-reading skill.

It's important to note that these are "natural." For Eleanor, this is instinct and common sense, so her behavior patterns are different from those of normal people.

But the men and women in the aristocratic circle - I can't say all of them, but 99% of their social interactions are utilitarian, which makes them particularly difficult to make friends with Eleanor, or even to have a conversation with her.

If the girl is a sincere person, then it might be a good thing for Eleanor to let her get in touch with her.

And she’s a girl of about the same age, so we must have common topics!

"Your Highness Eleanor?" Roman was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Have you forgotten the lesson we learned earlier?"

"Of course I remember it all."

That was ten years ago, when the Queen and Albert fell in love with the Duke of Cambridge's third son, William.

The dissociation curse on Eleanor can be suppressed. As Eleanor becomes more "normal," the effect of the curse will weaken. And the first step to becoming normal is to be able to socialize.

So the Queen thought that William's children might be able to become Eleanor's friends and alleviate the curse on Eleanor. As a result, one night half a month later, there was a strong wind in the Silver Castle, and it was even about to form a tornado.

A careful investigation revealed that it was the William boy who nearly escalated Eleanor's curse. Eleanor's soul had first triggered the Dissociation Curse, her humanity beginning to disintegrate, revealing the "divine" qualities only possessed by high-sequence spiritual beings.

If it's any later, Eleanor's soul will transform into a spirit body, and her whole body will become the eye of the storm, which is likely to destroy a small half of the Silver Castle's fortifications!

But Albert spread his hands and said, "But Eleanor needs friends, and I will help her."

Roman narrowed his eyes. “What if the Disintegration Curse is triggered again?”

"I'll kill her."

"Are you crazy?"

"Eleanor is very lonely, so lonely that she's almost seeking her own death. Why else do you think she would leave Silver Castle, a place she hadn't left for fifteen years, and board that train to a strange land? If Eleanor is truly in despair, I will do her one last favor."

Roman couldn't stand it anymore and cursed, "I've had enough of this. You're a family of devils. Why don't you abdicate the throne and let me sit on it!"

Albert didn't refute at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "That's true. However, the throne is not something I can decide. Roman, Mr. Director, my good brother, please help me call Miss Sulph!"

But just as he finished speaking, he heard a steady knock on the car window.

Tia took off her hat and jokingly said, "I heard someone here wants to see me. Is it you?"

She looked at Roman first.

Roman shrugged and shook his head.

Tia looked at Albert, who was stunned in the car window, and said with a smile: "Then I guess it must be the prince inside."

"Isn't that right, Your Highness? Or should I call you Mr. Albert?"

Volume 1: Chapter 56: Anne's Party

"Your Excellency Tia Sulph?"

"Yes, it's me."

"How did you recognize me? I didn't say in the newspaper that I was coming to New York!"

Albert was a little curious. He had never revealed his identity, so how did this girl know him? Moreover, he had disguised himself for this trip and had the accompanying Transcendent of Oak in the Earth perform a long ritual of disguise on him.

Not to mention he was a foreigner, even if the Queen came here, she probably wouldn't recognize him. Roman was stunned when he came here before.

But what about this Tia Sulph?

It can't be the Prophet Path, specializing in accurate predictions!? Then how high must this Sequence Level be?

Tia explained calmly, "Of course there's a reason for this. First of all, Sir Roman condescended to be the coachman up here, which shows that you're not ordinary."

Albert asked curiously, "That's true. And then?"

"If it was just unusual, I might have guessed it was a member of parliament or a cabinet minister. But you're chatting and laughing, so it's clear you're friends. Excluding the possibility of a friendship of different ages, your ages should be similar. And as far as I know, the knight is 32 years old this year, which is too old to be an MP or join the cabinet.

"The youngest MP in the past three years was Viscount Bryan, who was 34 years old. He was even in the news last year! I remember that clearly.

"Secondly, your sitting posture and facial expression are quite distinctive, like the etiquette that nobles particularly emphasize when it comes to treating others. I've seen it in Count Mercury's daughter, but it's slightly different. So you must be a noble. But Sir Roman is not the type to be deferential to nobles; he always chats and laughs with Count Mercury when he interacts with him.

"So, in his early thirties, of distinguished status, and male, Prince Albert naturally comes to mind."

Albert clapped his hands in admiration. "That's amazing! No wonder Roman said you single-handedly solved the Siren Song Factory case."

Roman hesitated to speak.

"After all, I'm a debt collector." Tia said with a smile, "It's normal for me to have some reasoning skills, right?"

Albert asked tentatively, "You are simply a detective. Can you deduce more about why I am here?"

“Elections reform?”

Albert immediately said with certainty, "You must be a transcendent being on the path of prophecy."

Tia said, "Of course not. This is just speculation. You came here in a carriage, but royal carriages wouldn't be so simple and plain. The disguise must have a purpose, right? And your first stop is Newlon Harbor, not one of the royal estates. So what's the hottest news in Newlon Harbor lately? Electoral reform."

"That's amazing, Sulph! Roman, you really have a sharp eye!" Albert praised her and confessed, "I did come here to do this. But I have another purpose."

"My sister Eleanor is out lately, and I just want to accompany her to relax. But you know, Newlondon is not peaceful at the moment. Miss Sulph, can you spare some time for Eleanor?"

"No."

Tia refused decisively. She finally had a paid vacation! She didn't even want to be around her favorite 2D paper character, let alone a princess. She said bluntly, "During this time..."

"There is a reward, and it's very generous."

"Then again, I'm not that busy. What are you going to do?"

Tia changed her words smoothly and put on a natural business smile.

Albert was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "I was just escorting her to a banquet. I just heard you say you knew the daughter of the Mercury family?"

"Yes, Anne is a nice person, and we are friends."

"That's great, Master Sulph. Little Anne's birthday is coming up soon. Before the Mercurys moved out of Silver Castle, Anne was one of the few people Eleanor could talk to. I'm not in a good position to go out now, so I hope you can accompany her to Anne's birthday party. No flattery or socializing is needed, just take her over for a bite to eat, a dance, or some fun outing."

Albert was immediately happy. He didn't expect that Tia knew Anne from Count Mercury's family.

This saves a lot of effort.

Tia frowned slightly, not expecting this to happen. She didn't mind attending the party. After all, Annie had given so much for free, and it would be too cold for her not to attend.

But if I were to go with another girl...

Tsk.

"I agreed."

This is what Tia is least afraid of!

She and Eleanor were innocent, so what was there to worry about? Only those with filthy hearts would be afraid. Tia Sulph was always upright!

Light! bright! just! big!

Albert breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "That's great. The party is this weekend. You can go find Eleanor after class on Saturday or Friday. It's in the Grand Harbor area. I'll give you the address later. You can get acquainted with each other first, and then you can go over."

His Highness said all this in one breath, and then spoke carefully to Tia, asking her not to reveal the news that he had arrived in New London and some of Eleanor's situation.

Eleanor would use an alias at the banquet. Because she was a bit of a recluse, rarely socializing, and had never even appeared in the newspapers, outsiders, aside from a few noble children in Silver Castle, had rarely seen her. They might not even recognize her name. So, there was no need to worry about Eleanor's identity being exposed; she could simply relax and enjoy the banquet.

Albert gave all the instructions as if he was giving his last wishes, and then let Roman drive away.

On the way, he was still obsessed with Tia's magical idea.

We arrived at a mansion in the Dagangwan area.

Albert didn't get out of the car, still unsatisfied, and said, "Roman, why hasn't this kind of reasoning been promoted in the National Police Agency? I think your police agency is full of stupid idiots."

The corner of Roman's mouth twitched, "My Lord, this is not a question of reasoning or not."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I mean, you should put away the pocket watch with your name engraved on it..."

In the afternoon, Tia went to the Cathedral of Our Lady again and spoke with Bishop Marshall about the child labor case. After all, she hadn't done anything about it. The child labor trafficking was definitely connected to Lawrence Security, but it was a completely isolated case, and the witness had been killed.

As for where the body is hidden, no one knows.

She indeed did not accomplish this task, and planned to pay back the money for the ten kilograms of holy wood after she received her salary.

But the old bishop obviously didn't care much about the holy wood. He said that he would just give it to Tia. They would take over the investigation of the child labor case. He also asked Tia to launch a special investigation into Lawrence Security after some time, when the police station was done with their work.

But it was just a matter of one sentence. After Tia wrote it down, she spent three days in peace.

On Thursday afternoon, two days before Annie's birthday, Tia had a major breakthrough.

The Hearthfire Book, which she successfully deciphered.

Volume 1: Chapter 57: The Hearthfire Book

Thursday, early morning.

The sun had risen at dawn, illuminating the straight, white streets of Beigang District. Although there was a slight mist in the early morning, the golden sun slowly dispelled it, revealing a faint white horizon.

If you sit by the fireplace and bask in the warm sunshine of early winter, you will definitely be able to sleep peacefully for a while.

Tick-tock, the clock in Tia's room has pointed to six o'clock.

Tia casually threw a few pieces of firewood into the flames. Next to her was the open "Book of Hearthfire", and in front of her were the crucible, distiller and various herbs that had been prepared long ago.

This is an absolutely powerful book.

She had never had such a wonderful and intoxicating reading experience. Every time she turned a page, it was like she was performing a deep diving ritual while awake, and the world in front of her seemed to have left her behind!

It was clearly winter, but warm rain suddenly fell in the house, and the warm spring breeze blew, making the fire burn brightly and crackling!

The flames in the fireplace crackled and leaped, and a golden-red deer was jumping inside. It ran out and jumped around Tia, calling out happily.

The window also came alive. A row of flowers and plants on the windowsill held hands, shaking their leaves and singing loudly. The window opened itself warmly and looked at the bubbling sun in the sky.

Two crows are flying out from the rising sun.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!

The crows flapped their wings like the golden drums on their chests!

They shouted loudly:

“Inspiration strikes!”

It was like eating poisonous, unripe mushrooms. The walls came alive—twisting their waists and giggling:
