Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

Before the maid could answer, a somewhat surprised call came from inside the house.

The door was fully opened by the maid. At this time, Charles saw an old woman wearing glasses and with short white curly hair walking towards the door. She walked around the maid at the door and looked at Avina at the door in surprise.

"You're back in Ansu City? When?"

Raven had a delighted smile on his face. She quickly moved aside to make room for him and said with a smile, "Come in, come in...Who is this child?"

"Her name is Ciel."

Avina walked into the room and looked back at Raven with a barely perceptible smile on her face. "He is the most important person to me."

"Oh... come in, good boy."

Raven seemed to have just finished lunch. She brought Charles and Avina to the living room. While waiting for the maid to serve tea, she reached out and grabbed Avina's hand, asking with a hint of blame: "Why didn't you tell me you were back... I haven't prepared any gifts yet."

"Sorry, Sensei, I have a lot to deal with back home."

Avina lowered her head slightly and spoke a little embarrassedly.

Charles did not interrupt their reminiscing, but just looked at Raven with some curiosity.

Avina seems to get along well with every one of her teachers... It can be seen that Avina used to be a good student who was very popular with teachers.

This was contrary to Charles's impression of Avina, who always treated others with a cold face. Moreover, Avina ran away "rebelliously"... This made Charles curious about Avina's past.

Could it be that Avina used to be... a very obedient and well-behaved little girl?

"Let me guess, you've already finished reading the books I sent you before, right? So you're here to ask me something you don't understand, right?"

Raven adjusted his glasses and looked at Avina in front of him with a smile.

"Uh……"

Avina's expression was a little embarrassed. She subconsciously turned her head to look in Charles' direction, her eyes seeming to be asking for help.

Raven seemed to have noticed something was wrong with Avina, and he followed Avina's gaze and looked at the red-haired girl wearing a silver chip mask.

Deton Group...

Raven had no good feelings towards the people of the Deton Group. They were a bunch of profit-seeking gamblers who had forced countless people to lose their fortunes for money... There was not a single good person among them.

"(Guansu) I'm sorry to disappoint you, Professor Raven."

Ciel stood up, bowed slightly to Raven, and said, "I asked for those books from Avina. I've already read them. Thank you for your recommendations."

The fluent ancient Ansu language made Raven's eyes light up.

These days, nobles are scrambling to learn the languages ​​of the Faros and the Devor Federation, and there are almost no young people who can speak fluent Ansu.

The girl with the silver chip mask could speak fluent ancient Ansu language, which completely changed Raven's first impression of her.

"(Guansu language) Oh my god..."

Professor Raven released his grip on Avina's hand, looked at Charles and said, "Please sit down, child... How long have you been learning Ancient Ansu? You're so fluent."

"(Guansu) studied it for a while, but I didn't teach you the in-depth research you did."

Ciel smiled and continued, "I came here this time to ask the professor something... but it has nothing to do with the ancient Ansu language."

Charles didn't dare to say that he had only studied for two weeks, because the other party would not believe it even if he told him.

"(Ansu language) Ask, child, I will tell you everything I know."

Raven smiled and nodded. She had a good impression of those who were diligent and studious, especially those who had such a high level of proficiency in the ancient Ansu language.

"(Guansu) Excuse me, are you at Vitalis Palace today?"

Charles looked at Raven and asked directly in ancient Ansu language.

As long as you speak in the West District, there is a chance that Qiang Yin will overhear you, but this doesn't matter for the ancient Ansu language, because Qiang Yin can only write some simple written symbols and has never carefully studied the listening and speaking of the ancient Ansu language.

Avina looked at Charles, then at Raven, and suddenly felt as if she couldn't get a word in... She couldn't speak the ancient Ansu language fluently.

Among those present, Tara was probably the only one who could understand some of it.

"(Guansu) Vitalis Palace?"

Raven frowned slightly, and looked at the red-haired girl in front of her with some caution. "Why are you asking this?"

Working in the royal family, confidentiality is naturally very important, and she doesn't want to be implicated by leaking royal secrets at will.

"(Guansu language) You know, Avina and her father don't have a good family relationship. Princess Windsor told me that there is an important guest at Vitalis Palace this afternoon. Perhaps we can ask him for some help."

Ciel looked at Raven and said calmly, "But I don't know who that important guest is. I only know there's someone called Qiang Yin."

When facing others, Charles can lie directly without any psychological burden. Although she can directly let Avina control Raven to tell the truth, this is somewhat unfair to Avina... After all, this is a very good teacher to her.

"(Ansu language) Is that so..."

After hearing about Avina and Windsor's name, Raven's guard was reduced a lot.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Charles in front of her and said in Guansu: "Today is a routine private luncheon. It's no secret. Princess Windsor probably wants you to go directly to Duke Charles, who is also at the luncheon."

A private luncheon...with Charles there...

According to this, there will be other political leaders present, which is not a good thing for Charles.

"Is the 12 o'clock lunch still going on?"

Ciel demanded.

"It usually starts at 11:13 and ends at :... It's almost over now. You're late."

Did it go back to the time when the lunch was in progress... The anchor point of the strong sound was most likely at the dining table.

As for the more specific location, only Duke Charles can know...

Charles could continue to ask for the names of other politicians and find a weak target among them, but it would be useless.

Because Charles will definitely attend the luncheon, and if you look back, Charles will also appear at the table... No matter what, Charles will bump into Charles.

Charles could still kill just one Qiang Yin...but if there was a level 4 "Eye of Scrutiny" nearby to interfere, things would become difficult.

Why is it in Vitalis Palace...

Charles lowered his brows in thought.

It seemed like she really needed to talk to this "father-in-law" and find out what he had to say...

If Charles is determined not to cooperate, then Charles will have no choice but to...

Charles shifted his gaze to Avina.

No matter what, Charles is Avina's father. If he really wants to "deal with" him, Avina must know.

"Thank you, Professor Raven."

Ciel switched back to Ansu, stood up, and bowed slightly to Raven, "I will talk to the Duke."

Duke?

Now Avina understood.

Dukes are not common people in Ansu City. There are only eight dukes living in Ansu City. When you think about the person who can frequently enter and exit Vitalis Palace, it is basically only his father, Duke Charles.

However, here, Avina did not ask Charles directly, but buried her doubts in her heart.

After getting the answer, Charles said goodbye to Raven and got into the carriage with Avina.

In the carriage, Avina looked at Charles and asked, "You... are going to look for my father?"

"Ah."

Charles didn't hide it.

"Is it related to...this incident?"

"correct."

Ciel nodded.

Avina felt mixed emotions about Charles's answer.

"Then... do you need me..."

Avina wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Charles.

"No, I need to go alone this time,"

Charles looked at Avina beside him and said, "It's just a simple inquiry. There's no danger, and nothing will happen."

"……OK."

After being silent for a while, Avina nodded.

If she followed Charles back to the Duke's Mansion, she might not be able to get out. This time, she really couldn't go in with Charles.

But if there is danger, even if there is no way out once you go in, Avina will accompany Charles.

Charles got off the carriage at the intersection and watched Avina's carriage leave with Tara.

Sitting in the carriage, Avina leaned against the backrest and sighed softly.

At this moment, her mentality was still stuck on the depression of not being able to help Charles. To her, the crisis that Charles faced seemed to get a little worse after each meeting, but Avina could not keep up with the pace at all.

Charles, standing at the intersection, did not look away until Avina's carriage disappeared from her sight.

She naturally saw the depression in Avina's heart, but she was helpless because Charles couldn't say it directly.

Ciel was like a scarecrow swaying in the turbulence of time and space. If she wasn't careful, she might be uprooted by the strong wind. She could only keep all this in her heart.

Charles shook his head, temporarily shaking off the trivial matters in his mind.

Now she has more important things to do.

She didn't want to go directly to Duke Charles alone. With one more helper, she would have one more bargaining chip. Otherwise, Duke Charles would not easily believe anything she said.

She couldn't even use simulation for trial and error—because she wanted to preserve this old simulation.

To do this, she has to take risks in reality.

It is very likely that Qiang Yin has not had time to launch an action against the Church of the Goddess of Savior and the Church of the God of Order. If he goes looking for someone now, he may be able to find a helper from Eleanor or Pope Erigma.

As for asking Tara to call Percy now, it would definitely be too late.

Charles took Tara on a public carriage and headed towards Westminster Square, but when the carriage arrived at Westminster Square, Charles did not get off with Tara.

Because, from a distance, Charles had already seen that several teams of musicians and knights had surrounded the gates of the Church of the Goddess of Savior and the Church of the God of Order - when they passed by the Archbishop's Palace, it had also been blocked by the knights.

Qiangyin's actions and reactions were even faster than Ciel had imagined...

Although Qiang Yin dug deeper, he could not find any clues, because at that time, neither Eleanor, Lafayette, Mond, nor Pope Erigma knew Charles.

Qiang Yin is looking for a non-existent "key man". His biggest possibility is to find the body of a real "key man" from the Deton Group, which has not been dealt with at this point in time.

It is easy to find the body, but if Qiangyin wants to find the person who created the body, he must wait until the key person Princess Vita returns... Before Princess Vita returns, no information about Charles will be exposed.

Not only was Qiang Yin's side at a standstill, but Ciel's side also seemed to be struggling due to Qiang Yin's overreaction...

Charles was lost in thought on the public carriage. Finally, she chose to get off the carriage directly in the St. Lawrence district.

She was going directly to Russell's Mansion.

There is no one with a strong voice at the door of Russell's mansion now, but in a few days... it's hard to say.

Fortunately, Duke Charles is a high-ranking "detective" who has taken the wrong path. If Charles exceeds the limit of nemesis, Charles will have no way to deal with her - this is the confidence that Charles dares to negotiate.

Charles must find Duke Charles before Qiangyin goes crazy.

Fortune seemed to be on Charles's side.

When Charles walked to the gate of Russell's Mansion, a carriage also stopped at the door. Charles got off the carriage and walked quickly towards Russell's Mansion as if he had something urgent to do.

Suddenly, he seemed to notice a sharp gaze, and Charles subconsciously turned around and locked his eyes on the person who was looking at him.

A girl... taking off her mask?

wrong!

The spiritual alarm buzzing in his mind and the unknown fear emerging from the bottom of his heart made Charles, who was looking directly into those dark red pupils, stop in his tracks.

He frowned and stared at Charles, his aura rising steadily.

But his gaze did not make Ciel panic or waver.

Charles slowly handed the mask to the side. Tara reached out and took the mask, then followed Charles and walked towards Charles.

Charles stopped in front of the imposing Charles, slowly raised his head, looked into his eyes, and said:
