Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Eleanor did not quite understand what was needed.

It’s not that she’s not a transcendent. On the contrary, Eleanor is a Sequence 7 of Oak in the Earth, which is higher than the other three in terms of Sequence Level.

But she is a princess, she is led in the promotion ceremony, she has a backer when she encounters disputes, the Pope is watching over the extraordinary pollution, and if she wants to learn something, she will be taught by a high-sequence extraordinary person.

The rooms were almost allocated. Seeing that it was getting late and Vera had not arrived yet, Tia had a quick dinner.

Although Eleanor, as a princess, did not have a chef in her villa because of the curse on her body, there was still someone to deliver meals.

just finished dinner.

Tia said to Anne and Eleanor, "I'm going to go out for a while tomorrow and visit the Saint Laurent campus. Anne, please entertain Vera."

"Can I come along?!"

Anne has already raised her hand, a little impatient.

Explore the campus with Tia!

"No! No!" Tia pressed Annie's shoulders to calm her down and said, "I'm going to visit Professor Horner from the Steam and Power Department. He previously gave me a letter of recommendation, introducing me to the Steam and Power Department. He's my elder."

Of course, there are other purposes.

She also had to rescue the Silverclaw Shrike and have him mobilize a few spirit crows to cross the Ansu Sea to the Iris.

But coming to Silver Castle was different from being in Newlon Port. Because of the existence of the Avalon system, she didn't dare to meet Shrike in the city without permission.

I'll have to go to the suburbs then.

When Anne heard Tia say that she was visiting the elders, she put down her hand obediently.

After dinner, everyone went back to their own rooms. After the enthusiasm for living alone faded, life was actually no different from usual.

The only inconvenience was that Anne was not used to life without a maid. It wasn't that she couldn't even dress herself and take a bath, but it was indeed difficult for her to do her hair, pack her clothes, make her bed, etc.

This has nothing to do with my nature, it's just that I've done it too little and I'm not used to it.

So after she came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe, knocked on Tia's bedroom door, and asked Tia to help her comb her hair.

There are definitely no handheld hair dryers these days.

But Anne was clever and she imitated the heat-warming amulet Tia gave her and released a ritual of fire in the furnace.

This ritual has the same name as Anne's sequence and was used by ancient craftsmen to heat furnaces, with a maximum temperature of 900°C.

Anne didn't need to use such a high temperature, so she only heated it to about 300℃. Then she used a ritual that simulated a bellows, blowing hot air around her. She said with concern, "Tia, help me separate my hair. Remember to be careful not to burn yourself."

Anne sat on a chair with a floor-length mirror in front of her. Tia, who was behind her, smoothed her hair and asked in surprise, "You've mastered the fire in the furnace already?"

"I'm a genius!"

"Very well, my gifted lady. You could definitely go to the Steam and Power Department of the Engineering College, right? Forging a hammer isn't really suitable for a seminary."

"Because I never thought that I would embark on the path of hammer forging..." Annie felt a little regretful when talking about this.

However, Ansu University adopts the model of admission first and then subject selection, and the seminary also has subjects that overlap with other colleges.

After drying her hair, Tia saw that Annie's body was still wet, so she picked up a towel and wiped all the wet areas. Annie was a little flattered and said embarrassedly, "I can wipe it myself."

"I've already wiped it. Here, Miss, lift your feet quickly."

Tia walked in front of Annie and knelt on the ground.

Anne lifted her toes, and the tips of her fingers touched them. Suddenly, she felt an icy cold sensation, and her toes immediately curled up.

Although the blonde girl was a little embarrassed, she still said innocently, "Well done! Maid Sulph."

"Now hurry up and help me clean the water off my calves!"

"As you command. It's my honor to serve Miss Anne."

"Hehe! Good maid. Wait, where did you touch?"

Tia wiped her legs again, and her little hands climbed up to the belt of her bathrobe.

Anne panicked instantly, kicking her feet and saying frantically, "What are you doing? Eleanor is still next door."

"It's okay, just keep your voice down later."

"What the hell are you talking about!?"

"Hmm? I'm talking about class. You've finished your rhetoric class, but you just got promoted to Sequence 9, so you still have some catch-up work to do. Don't make too much noise later, Eleanor still needs to sleep."

Tia took out her regular clothes from the closet and looked at Annie's bathrobe and said happily, "You can't go to class in a bathrobe, right?"

Anne blushed deeply, knowing that she was being teased but had no one to complain to. She gritted her teeth and glared at the black-haired girl with ill intentions.

"Damn it! You better be this arrogant later!"

Volume 1: Chapter 131 Professor Horner of Saint Laurent

The next morning, Tia went to visit Professor Horner at Saint Laurent's School of Engineering.

She was not familiar with this lesser-known professor of the Steam and Power Department. She only knew that Professor Horner was an old classmate of her high school teacher Daniel and had made some achievements in the energy supply technology of power armor.

Power armor - in Tia's opinion, this thing is pure Ansu black technology.

She had no idea how this huge block of iron worked, and what about that layer of silver-plated alloy plate? This alloy was almost as good as the aviation aluminum on Earth!

It is high in strength and light in weight. The most incredible thing is that this thing can be mass-produced. Not only power armor, but even the armed priests of the church are equipped with armor made of this material.

The power source is pure brute force.

Several internal combustion engines, which were not even as big as her head, supported the operation of the entire armor.

This is somewhat beyond Tia's limited knowledge of physics.

Her residence was not far from Saint Laurent, just two streets away. The campus was completely open, so there were no guards checking people, and Tia got in easily.

But maybe because school hasn't started yet, there are few students on campus. The occasional few students are bald-headed and obviously the veterans in the laboratory.

After passing a garden pond and statue, behind it is the main teaching building and the Edith Workshop connected to it.

The workshop was not a small family-run workshop, but rather an experimental building. It was named so because it was sponsored and built by the Edith family, one of the founding families.

In the second-floor laboratory, Professor Horner Thompson and two teaching assistants were giving the lab a quick tour. Ansu didn't distinguish between bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. After graduating from university, further study often involved teaching assistantships or joining organizations like the Royal Society.

So these two teaching assistants can be considered as graduate students or something like that.

Accompanying him was a crowned bishop of the church, a crown.

The number of crowns is an important distinction in the rank of bishops in the Holy Church. After wearing the crown, one assumes the position of bishop. Double crowns generally refer to bishops of large local dioceses or cardinals in the Silver Castle.

The triple crown means the Pope, also known as the chief bishop.

The bishop was a young man, in his early thirties - at least he was considered young in the church. He was not wearing a robe or a crown, but a casual dress. However, he was still very formal, and his walk and talk were very polite.

It even has a bit of ancient accent.

Professor Horner let the two assistants familiarize themselves with the equipment. He looked at FAMAS and waved his hand. "That's roughly the situation. A breakthrough in the power source of power armor is already difficult to achieve structurally. We've been refining it for over a hundred years... Honestly, FAMAS, I think a breakthrough in the fuel is more likely than a structural improvement."

"For example, the mysterious Seven Gods' Bones and Blood that the barbarians on the Great Ice Field spread... well, that's the situation anyway."

Although I didn't know what the Seven Gods' Bone and Blood was, suggesting to a bishop that we boil water with something with that name was somewhat blasphemous.

Bishop Famas wasn't too bothered by this. He simply frowned and said, "The Bone and Blood of the Seven Gods, but that's only mentioned in the Great Icefield and ancient texts, right?"

"Who knows? The barbarian clans of the Great Icefield have been mostly captured by the Imperial Slave Hunt. I guess we can only go deeper into the icefield to find the ancient clans that live there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tia knocked on the door and came in, just in time to hear what happened on the Great Ice Field.

The Great Icefield lies to the north of the empire, stretching for thousands of miles from north to south. Its outer layer is tundra, but further in, it becomes ice fields and glaciers, similar to Antarctica. Tia has always suspected that the Great Icefield may contain the remains of an ancient civilization.

For example, the Ancient Ones, the Shoggoths...

Maybe there are aliens.

But this is not reliable. The temperature of the ice sheet was so low that the expedition team described it as "the air was frozen and it was impossible to breathe." If this is true, it would be more than 200 degrees below zero.

What kind of thing can survive in here?

Tia's thoughts drifted for a moment, then she immediately pulled them back together. She bowed to Professor Horner and said politely, "Professor Horner, I'm Tia Sulph from Newlon Harbor. I wrote to you before."

Professor Horner was still puzzled, then he suddenly realized: "It's Sulph."

"Is Daniel feeling okay now?"

"Thanks to your care, Teacher Daniel is in good health."

"That's good. You can sit here for a while and look around. I'll be done soon."

Professor Horner nodded and invited Tia to sit down. Famas, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Is this your student 90VI46qi?"

Horner slightly straightened the books that were piled up in a mess on the table.

"Oh, not really. I'm a junior, I guess. Why are you interested in this girl?"

"That's interesting. This junior of yours is probably already a transcendent. The smell is slightly pungent, like the smell of sulfur. He must be a transcendent in alchemy, right?"

"What are you doing?" Professor Horner, still quite concerned about his junior, asked cautiously, "Arresting someone here? Your church is quite bold."

"That's not the case. That's the job of the Suppression Bureau.

"I'm saying that the child is still young. You should persuade her not to venture into the extraordinary realm so easily. It's very dangerous. This is my duty as a bishop."

Professor Horner was confused and said, "So, she has entered the Sequence?"

Famas smiled but said nothing.

He didn't really like alchemy, but he didn't say anything discriminatory. He just tried to persuade him a little and didn't say much.

After all, he is not his junior, so it is enough for him to fulfill his obligations. Going further will often make the child unhappy.

But when Horner saw Famas' smile, he knew that he had most likely entered the Sequence. He was probably not even at the entry-level Sequence 9, but at Sequence 8.

We need to find some time to talk it over.

Professor Horner is still quite caring towards this student of his old classmate, but this matter cannot be discussed now.

Ignoring it is definitely not an option. Deceiving yourself and saying it's fine is definitely not an option. Even if it's all right now, you're afraid of problems in the future. But if the girl just arrived and you start lecturing her, that's not a good idea either. How should she cope?

You can't do good things with bad intentions, nor can you do bad things with good intentions.

Just a few reminders on a daily basis would be enough. Once Tia is enrolled in school and familiar with the school, I'll talk to her and give her some proper advice.

With this in mind, Professor Horner didn't mention it. He smiled and sent Bishop Famas away. Then he went to entertain Tia and said, "Little Sulph, you go to the Institute of Technology, right?"

"That's right, Mr. Horner."

Tia didn't lie and said bluntly: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will study technical archaeology, which is an interdisciplinary field in the history department."

"Technical archaeology, you mean scientific research? That's going to be tough." Professor Horner nodded. "If that's what you're interested in, Professor Bernard of Archaeology has a project for an ocean expedition to the southern continent next year. I can recommend you go. But ocean expeditions aren't like Ansu, and I'm afraid they'll be very tiring. And if you're a girl and the expedition vessel runs into problems, you'll be in danger on board."

"Yes, Professor. I've made some preparations."

Professor Horner was a little confused at first, but then he remembered what Famas said about the extraordinary people, and suddenly understood what Tia was talking about. He burst out laughing.

This is really well prepared.

"Well, you have a plan, so just follow your plan. You can listen to my advice or any other old guy's advice, but you still have to think about it and make your own decisions. After all, other people's advice is just suggestions."

"Thank you for your support, Professor."

"You're too polite." Professor Horner laughed and shook his head. He asked Tia to follow him and called two teaching assistants.

There were two teaching assistants, one male and one female. They were four or five years older than Tia and still had a bit of the childishness of a student. They were more or less curious about Tia when they saw her.

Professor Horner, who is usually not very approachable, actually took the initiative to provide advice, and spoke in a gentle manner!

They still remembered how stern Professor Horner was during the interview, and the conversation just now was beyond imagination.

Professor Horner glanced at the others and said, "Torren, Brin, you two follow me. I'll give you a brief introduction to the lab. Tia, if you're interested, you can also listen from the side."

Volume 1: Chapter 132: Hammering and Smashing Hands

"The main task of our laboratory is to provide the church with improved steam engines and internal combustion engines suitable for dragon blood.

Professor Horner pointed to the surrounding equipment and said, "Of course, the work here is mainly focused on optimizing combustion and controlling emissions. The improved steam engine project is basically in the workshop outside. You can go there in a few days to get accustomed to it. After all, the projects in the laboratory are difficult for you to master right now."

There is actually nothing too difficult about a simple internal combustion engine. There are not many technical difficulties in testing its reliability, and real research does not require two novice teaching assistants.

But the key is in the dragon's blood.

Tia remembered the red dragon blood used in the promotion ceremony and raised her hand.
