Miss Witch's Speed Run Manual
Page 275
Just by holding the potion bottle, Charles felt a slight tingling sensation in the palm of his hand, as if he could feel the violent power of the potion inside through the bottle.
Ciel slowly reached out and was about to uncork the potion.
Kitty noticed Charles's action out of the corner of her eye. Her eyelids twitched slightly. She was about to open her mouth to remind Charles, but in the end she swallowed and didn't dare to say anything.
The bishop must have been exposed to another level of supernatural power, and he must know more taboos and knowledge than himself, so there is no need to mention it.
When Charles pulled out the cork, the lightning inside carried the eyeball as if it was about to drill out of the bottle mouth. At this moment, Charles raised the bottle and pointed the bottle mouth at his mouth.
It was as if magnets attracted each other. The blood eye, which had not shown any signs of movement, flashed a flash of lightning and went straight into Charles' mouth when it sensed the "adventurer" Charles.
The blood eye quickly dissolved the moment it came into contact with Charles' oral mucosa. The liquid in the crystal, with a "spicy" feeling that almost paralyzed the taste buds, started from the mouth and continued to cover all of Charles's senses.
Ciel closed her eyes and slowly felt the intense pain - her tolerance for pain was now beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the pain could not cause any significant change in her expression.
The faint whispers in his mind began to intensify. This was a kind of interference that could affect his thinking... Ciel had also felt this feeling when he first took the "Judge" potion.
This should be the symptom of the incomplete completion of the reproduction ritual and the incomplete digestion of the potion... or this is the feeling that ordinary extraordinary people experience almost every moment.
However, these whispers are nothing compared to the pollution in the other world. Although they have some impact on Charles, it is not big.
It seems that the "Frenzy" reappearance ritual was not completed perfectly... but at least it works.
Every time you drink a potion, the whispers in your head will accumulate. No wonder level 3 is a watershed. So many people experience physical changes after drinking level 3 potions, even if they succeed in getting promoted.
The interrogation of Fred was over. In the remaining time, Charles took Kitty and several extraordinary people to visit the Stuart Art Exchange in Burren City. Unfortunately, they did not find Edward's whereabouts, nor even Isabella.
The Stuart Art Exchange is located in different cities across the country, and it is impossible for the other party to stay in Burren City all the time... At this time, it would be more convenient to find Avina.
At least Avina knew Isabella.
When it was daytime, Kitty took Charles to visit Avina, but perhaps because the incident last night had become a big deal, the well-informed Avina already knew about the conflict between Deton Manor and the Redemption Society last night, so she did not meet Kitty. Kitty and Charles were turned away.
Instead, when Kitty was about to go back, Sherren and his men blocked her way and demanded an explanation from her.
At this time, Avina, who was not yet familiar with Charles, was very alert. When Charles took the initiative to approach her, it was difficult for him to see her and they couldn't even communicate, let alone gain Avina's trust.
It’s not that Charles couldn’t sneak into the manor to see Avina directly, but this would inevitably lead to a conflict with Nia.
The "Brutalist" couldn't penetrate the "Crown Guard"'s armor in a head-on fight. If Nia were to use the Otherworld, she would surely collapse, inevitably facing her nemesis...
Anyway, now that we have obtained the information, it is impossible to find Edward directly, so we can only ask Avina in real life.
In the final moments, Charles did not do anything else. He just calmly returned to Clock Tower Alley and spent the last moments with his sister.
It's not that she doesn't want to do something, but there is really no time for her to do anything else.
At 18:29 in the evening, a silver light flashed in front of Charles, and the next moment, she was in a silver-white space.
No. 8: "Crazy" Charles
After skillfully saving the "Bandit" in the No. 8 archive, Ciel directly exited the simulation.
The silver space in front of my eyes quickly faded away.
……
【Reality】
【圣741年7月17日19:26】
[Comment: Hey, I have to remind you, host]
[You've already drunk the "Gambler" potion. You can log in directly to the "Gambler" and switch to the adjacent "Brawler". You don't need to use a new save file to drink it from level 1...]
[Of course, I definitely don't want you to save the archive with the Sardana Mark just for fun. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder^^_]
【Take it, it's what you deserve based on your performance. 】
[Reward: Destiny Points x 9]
【Destiny Points: 516】
Charles just glanced at the settlement panel in front of him and didn't read any further.
There is no reward, which is normal. After all, Charles in the simulation just drank two bottles of potion and then killed the people he had killed again.
Although some intelligence was indeed obtained, it seemed that in the eyes of the system, this information had little to do with future changes, so no good rewards were given. At most, it was considered to have made up for most of the points consumed by the simulation.
Charles stood up from the sofa and soon felt his legs go weak.
Tara, who had been standing aside and staring at Charles intently, hurried forward and supported Charles. Her height was just enough for Charles to rest his elbow on her head.
"call……"
Charles exhaled slowly and sat back down with Tara's help. She turned to look at Tara and said, "Thank you."
"No need to thank you, Lord Ciel. This is what a servant should do."
Tara quickly lowered her head to hide the blush on her face.
Just now, when she was supporting Charles, her cheek accidentally bumped into his chest, and her hand also touched Charles's slender waist...
She had already begun to engrave this faint fragrance in her mind, and had no time to care about anything else.
At this moment, Charles was sitting on the sofa, closing his eyes slightly to relax himself.
The multiple simulations within one day had indeed caused a lot of mental damage to Ciel - it might also have been caused by drinking the potion.
In the past, when he stayed in the simulation for 24 hours, only a few minutes to more than ten minutes would pass in reality. This time, the simulation intensity was not high, but it made more than twenty minutes pass in reality... This meant that Ciel's mental strength was on the verge of exhaustion.
Even though it had not been long since Avina had soothed Charles's spirit.
It seems that today is not suitable for any simulations...
It was unknown when Avina finished her work and came back. Charles opened his eyes and began to think about what else he could do besides simulation.
To ask Avina about Isabella, you have to wait for Avina to come back.
Find the eldest princess Vitalis... At this time, according to the route she gave herself, she should have gone to Pharos, and it is impossible for Charles to directly cross the country to arrest her.
One more thing...
Charles opened the system store.
[[Contaminated Parasitic Brain (Slightly Shattered)]]
【Destiny Points: 10】
Eve Lafayette's personal emblem
【Destiny Points: 1】
Charles did not exchange this parasitic brain because she was not sure if it would cause any accidents or be locked by a strong sound if there were two brains in the same space and time.
The best way is to clear out a space in the system warehouse, exchange this thing, and then put it directly into the system warehouse. Then take it out in the simulation and hand it to Adele to see if she can help study what this thing is.
In the previous simulation, "Detective" Charles directly held the brain with his hands, but nothing happened.
As for Adele, who was a "doctor" in the last simulation, it would be difficult for her to be of any help. Charles believed that only a transcendent at the level of a "plague doctor" would be unaffected by this thing.
If it were given to Ashford, he would definitely be able to figure out something, but unfortunately he was half-dead in the explosion and would not be able to recover for at least a hundred days.
Charles glanced at his current 6-grid system warehouse.
[Fatal Blood Roland], [The Endless Manual of Forgetting Everything After Seeing It], [The Box of Soul Instigation], [The Toy Box of the Mastermind Sage], as well as Xio's letter emblem and a bishop emblem of the Holy Advent Sect.
Charles had already moved the bound exclusive seal [Echo of the Silver Timebinder], but there was still not enough space.
After thinking about it for a while, Charles moved out Xio's letter, emblem, and the emblem of the Holy Advent sect.
With a flash of silver light, a letter and an emblem appeared in Charles's hand, with another emblem enclosed in the letter.
These things are no longer of much use to Ciel, especially in reality and future simulations.
She was already able to quickly gain the trust of the Holy Advent Sect and the Savior Goddess Sect through other means. Apart from past simulations, these two things were basically useless.
Let Tara keep them and give them to me when I need past simulations. For now, let's move them out of the system warehouse for the time being.
Charles handed the two items to Tara and said, "Please keep these two items for me."
"Yes, Sir Ciel."
Tara bowed slightly.
Tara was not surprised at what Charles could conjure up in his hands, let alone just two emblems.
Charles spent 10 destiny points and directly placed the brain he brought out from the previous simulation into the system warehouse. Charles's remaining destiny points were 506.
After exchanging the brain, Charles opened the simulation interface again and looked at the next time node that could be simulated.
【来日:27Day (圣741年8月13日20:00)(消耗10命定点)】
Finally, a decent time has come...
After 27 days, not only can the simulated self remove the brain for Adele to study, but Isabella and Princess Vitalis can also be found.
If he were a bit more radical, he could even exchange Lafayette's emblem, have his simulated self impersonate Lafayette, and extract intelligence from the Church of the God of Order...
Moreover, being able to simulate for 27 days at least means that Qiang Yin still hasn't figured out his identity and he is still safe.
"Tara, if anyone's looking for me, wake me up."
Charles waved to Tara, then stood up and walked towards the bed.
She was ready to rest for a while.
"Yes, Sir Ciel."
Tara watched Charles lie down on the bed, thought for a moment, and walked to the door, gently opened it, and stood outside.
Although she also wanted to continue to accompany the body of the Mother Goddess in the room, the Mother Goddess obviously needed to rest now, and Tara needed to help block the visitors from outside.
About an hour later, Amy appeared in front of Tara.
"Is Ciel in there? Little Tara."
Amy asked, looking at Tara.
"Lady Ciel is resting inside. What do you want from her?"
Tara lowered her head slightly and asked in a low voice.
"Oh... I was just saying that I've moved all my things to the new address, and I wanted to ask Ciel if he wanted to come to my housewarming party tomorrow... There won't be many people, basically just a few of my friends and relatives."
Amy looked at Tara and asked, "Can you ask her for me when she wakes up?"
"Of course, Miss Amy. I will pass this on to Lord Ciel when he wakes up."
Tara nodded slightly.
"Then trouble you."
Amy walked along the corridor towards the stairs. It seemed that she was planning to move out of the hotel tonight. She seemed to want to say goodbye to Avina, but Avina was not in the room.
It was almost half past eight when Avina returned to the hotel.
Looking at Tara standing at the door, Avina knew that Charles was still inside. She looked at Tara and asked, "Didn't Charles go out today?"
"Lord Ciel has been resting in his room, Lady Avina."
Tara lowered her head slightly. She still showed great respect to the spouse of the Mother Goddess's real body.
Avina looked back at Nia and said, "Wait for me outside for a while."
After saying that, Avina gently opened the door and walked into Charles' room.
It was already getting dark, but the oil lamp in the room was not lit. There was only a little moonlight from the window in the hall.
Avina closed the door, turned on a few lights, followed the dim light to the bed, and looked at Charles lying on the bed.
At this time, Charles was lying on the bed, and she didn't seem to notice Avina's arrival. There was cold sweat on her forehead, her eyes were closed and her brows were frowned, as if she was having a bad nightmare.
Looking at Charles in front of her, Avina felt a little distressed, but fortunately, "Listener" and "Psychologist" are good at resolving nightmares.
Avina took off her glasses and placed them on the bedside table, then took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from Charles' forehead.
But her action seemed to wake up the nervous Charles. Charles, who was still sleeping soundly, suddenly raised his hand and pinched Avina's wrist directly.
"hiss……"
Avina didn't want to make any expression, but Charles's strength made her unable to hold back and gasp.
Charles opened his eyes and gradually saw Avina clearly in the dim light. He slowly let go of her hand and said, "Sorry, Avina, I didn't notice you came in..."
Avina put the handkerchief aside and rubbed her right wrist. The place where Charles had pinched it had turned purple and was almost sprained.
But Avina didn't seem to care. It was just a minor physical injury. She knew that what Charles was suffering now was a thousand times more painful than her.
