Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Peter shook his head and said, "Go find the Suppression Bureau, but don't get your hopes up. Of the over sixty secret tomes, forty-five still exist. We've done the best we can."

"I'll contact the Suppression Bureau tomorrow to get their information," Famas asked the Pope in advance. "But sir, the Knights of Saint Engard long ago broke with Iris, and now they're suddenly returning to their homeland..."

Famas had a slightly worried look on his face; he was genuinely worried that the irises would become a mess.

If the Iris Flower gets into chaos again, Ansu will have no shortage of refugees.

Whether out of his compassion as a bishop or out of concern for the security issues in Silver Castle, he did not want Ansu to fall into chaos.

Peter gazed eastward and said, "Saint Engard is, after all, a follower of the All-Father. They won't cause any trouble in Iris. The confrontation between the alchemists over there is more worrying. This is not yet the age of alchemy. Iris is taking too big a step."

Volume 1: Chapter 140 Saint Engard's Request

After a whole winter of dormancy, at the end of February, universities in Baiyinbao resumed classes one after another, and new students also reported to their respective schools.

Tia got up early and woke up Anne and Eleanor, asking them to report to their respective colleges.

Because I got up early and received special treatment from the royal family, the registration and enrollment went smoothly.

But at this moment, the newly transferred female police officer was in trouble.

Scarlett, who returned to Silver Castle after a year, was taken care of by the gentlemen and ladies who came to see off their children with smiles on their faces. However, she was late for work due to traffic jam and was fined half a day's salary by Ms. Bernice.

Five hundred meters north of Ansu National University, in the administrative building of the Grand Police Department, Scarlett sat at her workstation looking at the pile of files and documents, and she couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Because she will be transferred to Iris soon, her current position is to keep archives at the Grand Police Department, which is dispensable.

The police department doesn't really expect people to come here and work like slaves.

How many gold pounds a month are you working so hard for?

Who are you trying to earn the seal for?

But for Scarlett, taking on the responsibilities of her position is a matter of course. Even if the work is extremely difficult or even hopeless, as long as she is assigned to do it, she will take on her responsibilities without hesitation - even though she may not be interested in this job.

Sir Charles, the police inspector of the safekeeping room, was very embarrassed about this.

Compared to this new guy who just dropped in, why do all our colleagues in the archives seem to be giving up?!

Sir Charles, who was already in his forties and approaching middle age, came to Scarlett's workstation and said with concern, "Scarlett, put your work aside for now. Bishop Famas from the church will be here soon. Please greet him."

"Ah! Yes, sir!"

Scarlett stopped what she was doing and was a little distracted when she heard the noises from the other side of the river outside the window becoming increasingly noisy.

The Metropolitan Police Department and Anzu National University are separated by a river, so the noise of students and parents on the other side, as well as the rumble of some new steam locomotives, are quite far away. However, thanks to Scarlett's extraordinary training in hearing and vision, she can hear them all.

This brought her back to the time when she was still in school.

Sir Charles sighed, "By the way, Scarlett, you graduated from Ansu National University, right? It's almost time for school to start again. After you receive Bishop Famas this morning, do you want to go back to Ansu National University? I remember you haven't been back for almost a year."

The inspector was worried that Scarlett would start working hard again in the afternoon.

Scarlett sat up straight and said righteously, "Sir! I think I can still work!"

"Work isn't that busy. Let's go relax this afternoon. Okay! Scarlett, don't make excuses. Leave your seat now. Bishop Famas should be here soon!"

"Yes, sir!"

Scarlett stood up and saluted. Just as she was about to leave, she saw the scenery on the other side of the river outside the window. There happened to be an acquaintance there.

Her former boss, Miss Tia Sulph, was getting off the carriage.

But strangely enough, Miss Sulph was not attending Ansu National University.

Is she here to see off a friend? Scarlett's imagination drifted, and she thought of Vera from the Cathedral and Anne from the Mercury family—two lovely girls, especially Miss Anne, who had left a deep impression on her.

So it should be...

Scarlett looked out the window. On the carriage on the other side, Tia was holding the hand of a girl with long platinum hair and helping her get off the carriage in an orderly manner.

Platinum blonde hair...

Scarlett's expression gradually turned strange. Although this Great Silver Castle might be little known, and even some newspapers might accidentally overlook her existence, this prince was a well-known figure on the Ansu National University!

The youngest princess in the Silver Castle, Eleanor Morn!

When she graduated last year, she was looking forward to seeing the little princess at the school gate, but unexpectedly, Her Highness Eleanor did not come due to illness. She regretted it for a long time!

Scarlett was stunned when she saw Tia on the other side of the river reaching out and pinching the princess's face.

Commander Sulph!

What are you doing? !

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

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

"When will the puppet be finished?"

"Two days. Tia needs to cooperate." Eleanor thought for a moment and said seriously, "It can't be like last night."

"Who knew you'd get so close to see it?" Tia said speechlessly, "This is bad behavior, Eleanor!"

"sorry."

Eleanor blinked and corrected her mistake, but she would probably make the same mistake again next time.

"Okay then. I'll come to Ansu National University to meet you this afternoon. Is it at the agreed location?"

Tia just found out that Eleanor actually has her own studio at Ansu National University and doesn't have to pay for food and accommodation.

Because Ansu Nationality is the property of the royal family...

Then there was her. She had three letters of recommendation and had to pay Saint Laurent nearly a hundred pounds in tuition every year. Her situation was relatively good, as she had no real plans to learn anything. The required courses were few and far between, three or four a week, a figure that would bring tears to the eyes of a tanking student with a packed schedule at Earth University.

But if you want to learn more, it's very troublesome. If you can't make good connections with professors and ask for advice at any time, you can only pay a tuition fee to take related courses - probably something like paying for credits.

It’s so abominable, it’s collapsing!

But there was no point in lamenting about this, so Tia returned to the carriage. Anne was dozing off, and when she saw Tia coming, she asked sleepily, "What were you two talking about just now?"

"Send her to school. We're looking for someone from the royal family to pick her up."

"Oh." Annie didn't think much about it. She stretched after waking up. Seeing that only Tia was in the carriage, she climbed up with a giggle and blew into Tia's ear, "Have you finished reporting over there?"

Now it's really a space for two people.

Even though the coachman was still there, Anne didn't really let go and play. She just curled Tia's hair with her fingers and had a lot of fun.

"Registration is quite simple. Registration at universities here is so easy."

"Huh? Tia, have you been to other universities?"

"I saw it in the newspaper. I heard there was a lot of trouble when Iris registered for university."

Tia babbled a little to change the subject. Anne nodded half-comprehendingly and asked curiously, "So, do you want to join a club or something? I see there are a lot of student clubs in Saint Laurent, not just the open ones, but also underground ones."

Those underground are those who study mysticism.

Tia became interested. She picked up the orange candy she had bought on the street and put one into Annie's mouth. "Is there a society that collects debts?!"

"That's a violent group, right? It's one of those clubs that studies the occult. They say there are even seniors who studied abroad in Ameka and Nanami!"

"The Land of the Seven Seas..."

Speaking of this, Tia seemed thoughtful.

The Seven Seas is a confederation of seven maritime nations in name only. However, the name "Seven Seas" is a misnomer, as it is actually seven city-states that control a large number of islands.

The Broken Islands, the base of the Knights of Saint Engard, were rented from the Seven Seas Kingdom, and have a deep connection with the Seven Seas Kingdom.

She has been in Silver Castle for some time, and the Anti-Suppression Bureau has transferred her information file over.

Not long after she was transferred here, the Anti-Suppression Bureau gave her another job.

But it had nothing to do with debt collection and making money. Instead, she had to go and make a handover with the church, and go with the church people to welcome the Knights of Saint Engard who would arrive at Ansu Silver Castle soon.

Of course, the affairs of the Knights of Saint Engard are very close to the matter of debt collection.

It’s just that the debt collector demands repayment.

The Knights were different; they demanded the book be returned.

--------------

Have a cold? My temperature is a little high. I took some medicine and took a nap. There is another chapter tonight.

Volume 1: Chapter 141 Where are the guards? Come out and take care of things!

"Officer Scarlett, Saint Engard's delegation is arriving soon. I need the case file on Bishop Rhine's reselling of the Great Library's secret tome from twenty-six years ago. Also, I previously commissioned you to inventory the customs' cultural relics warehouse. Have you found anything?"

In the police station's archive warehouse, Bishop Famas asked Scarlett word by word.

Scarlett was a little nervous. She quickly took the prepared case file from the file shelf and responded, "Bishop, the case files are all here. We have notified the customs department, but have not received a response yet."

"Yes." Bishop Famas picked up the file, glanced at it, and asked, "Officer Scarlett, you're from the Suppression Bureau. You should know the importance of these secret books, right?"

"I have some understanding of these. These secret tomes involve ancient secret knowledge, including high-sequence knowledge of Sequence 6 and above. If they are allowed to spread recklessly, it will probably cause great trouble. That's why the Cathedral hides them in the Great Library for safekeeping."

"That's not quite right. If it were merely a transcendental secret, it wouldn't be worth preserving for hundreds of years. The most serious problem lies in the collection of secret tomes sent by Saint Engard. Seventy-two of them contain forbidden knowledge directly related to the realm of the gods. If these tomes hadn't been lost, difficult to decipher, and extremely dangerous to Anzu's order, the Holy Church would definitely be unwilling to return something that has been hidden for five hundred years."

Famas shook his head. Considering Scarlett was from the Suppression Bureau and didn't mind this history, he said, "Five hundred years ago was the time when nations were founded, and the continent was in chaos. That's why the Knights of Iris wanted to send these secret tomes to the island nation of Anzu for safekeeping."

"At that time, the Knights lost more than half of their 3,000-plus Knights to escort this batch of secret tomes. Even so, three tomes were lost. This gave rise to the current Iris Alchemy Society and the Hand of Transformation.

"That's why this handover is so important. Neither the Holy Church nor the Suppression Bureau wants these secret texts to give rise to secret societies and cause a major incident like the Twin Serpents. That's why they arranged for us to come with such grandeur, and even asked for a naval escort."

Hearing this, Scarlett became even more nervous.

Scarlett is not afraid of big scenes and big people, but she is a newcomer who just graduated a year ago and is now facing such a major and difficult task. If she is not careful, the whole Ansu may be in chaos!

This made her admire Bishop Famas and the relevant person in charge of the Defense and Suppression Bureau even more.

Scarlett could hardly imagine how terrified and sleepless they must have been every night, facing such a huge responsibility.

Looking at Bishop Famas again, he still looked calm at this moment.

Scarlett felt even more inadequate.

really!

Study when you have time!

Whenever you have time, learn from your superiors!

Famas, confused by Scarlett's wild thoughts, asked, "By the way, hasn't the person you arranged to welcome the delegation arrived yet?"

"Candidate? Bishop, we haven't received any notification..."

"No notification?" Famas paused for a moment, then said, "The Great Silver Castle Defense Bureau informed me of this matter. I guess you haven't received the news in the Regency yet. But this matter was personally designated by your superior."

"Ah? My boss?"

"Sir Roman of the Suppression Bureau. Sir Roman came over a few days ago and told His Holiness the Pope that the former acting director of the Newlon Port Suppression Bureau would come with me to welcome Saint Engard's delegation."

Speaking of the acting director, Famas exclaimed, "I heard he's a very capable man who single-handedly thwarted the Twin Serpents' conspiracy in Newlon Harbor."

"She also spearheaded the elimination of the evil forces in Newlon Harbor, even earning praise from His Holiness the Pope. She's truly an extraordinary figure.

"Officer Scarlett, you were transferred from the Newlondon Police Department. You should know this acting chief, right?"

"Ah, ah? I..." Scarlett didn't know what to say.

Scarlett glanced at Bishop Farmas, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Why is Miss Sulph the one responsible for this matter?!

Although there is no doubt about Miss Sulph's firm determination to confront evil, is it really okay to entrust such an important matter to the thick-skinned Miss Sulph?

Although Miss Sulph is unlikely to steal secret books or smuggle them, if she seduces the female knights of the Knights Templar, or even defrauds the old knights into buying health products, then Ansu's reputation will be ruined!

Scarlett didn't understand, Scarlett didn't dare to ask, Scarlett trembled.

But there is one thing Scarlett is probably clear about -

She probably won't learn anything from her superiors.

Except for cheating, extortion and kissing girls.
