The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 192

Ansu City, West District – Westminster District, near the Holy See of the Church of the Savior Goddess, Priest’s Residence.

The midday sun shone through the haze onto this classical building with towering spires. The exterior walls made of light-colored sandstone reflected the sunlight, giving a warm visual experience.

At this moment, in front of the large wooden double doors of the main entrance, a red-haired young girl and a green-haired girl in a maid outfit were standing calmly, waiting for the nun who went inside to report to return with information.

While waiting, Ciel looked at the neatly trimmed small garden beside them. It was filled with flowers symbolizing purity, such as roses and lilies. In the center of the garden, there was a small fountain. The sculptures and inscriptions on it created a serene and solemn atmosphere.

Is this where Uris lives?

The Westminster District is part of the city center in the West District. The Ansu Parliament Building is located not far away… The fact that High Priestess Uris can live here indicates that the foundation left behind by the Church of the Savior Goddess is indeed quite solid.

However… Compared to the grandeur of the High Priestess of the Church of the Savior Goddess, Tara, the Archbishop of the Divine Advent Church, seemed a little shabby in comparison.

This address was obtained by Ciel through inquiries to Adele. At this moment, she was disguised as a noble young girl, preparing to approach Uris first.

Because she had a way to quickly persuade Uris, and then she could approach other high-ranking transcendents of the Church of the Savior Goddess through Uris’s network.

According to Tara, there were quite a few wavering factions within the Church of the Savior Goddess. The Goddess still held a very significant place in their hearts.

Ciel’s purpose for this trip was to use Uris’s network to find the highest-ranking wavering individuals and see if she could achieve her goal in one step.

Avena, the other two, and Lucy had already divided into two groups and were ready. They were just waiting for Ciel to create a commotion, and they would immediately take action.

The sound of footsteps brought Ciel’s attention back. She looked at the open main door and the familiar silver-gray haired figure.

“Hello, you are…”

Uris’s dull gray-white eyes looked in Ciel’s direction, asking with some hesitation.

Just now, a nun had come to her and said that a noble claiming to be an acquaintance of Adele had come to see her… and was accompanied by a maid.

The recent matter of Adele’s disappearance had left her troubled and uneasy. The busy church work also left her with no time to search for Adele. Now, upon hearing news about Adele, she immediately came out.

“Holy Year 739, January 17th.”

Ciel said nothing unnecessary and without hesitation, then added, “We met in a dream, Uris…”

The moment she heard this date, Uris’s eyes slightly widened.

How did she know this date…? This was a secret that even Adele didn’t know…

Unless she had said it herself, the other party couldn’t have known this information.

“Please come with me.”

Uris quickly spoke, slightly stepping aside to let the other party enter the Priest’s Residence.

After instructing a nun not to let anyone disturb them, Uris led Ciel and Tara to the reception room.

After Ciel was seated, Uris looked at Ciel and asked, “Did Your Excellency come here because of Adele’s matter?”

The other party had come to see her in the name of being Adele’s acquaintance. It was highly likely that she had come for Adele’s matter.

Uris also knew that Adele had been caught up in a major incident related to the Royal Medical Association explosion. The person before her might be one of Adele’s friends from Berren City.

“Don’t worry. Adele is in a very safe place right now,”

Ciel said, looking at Uris, “I came this time for something else.”

“Please speak.”

Finally having news of Adele, the stone in Uris’s heart slightly dropped. The tension in her voice also dissipated a little.

She could sense that the other party had not told a single lie from the beginning until now.

“What I’m going to tell you next, I hope you won’t interrupt. Listen carefully until I’m finished, then you can think about it.”

Ciel raised her hand and gently waved her palm towards the direction behind her.

Tara stepped forward and handed an item she was holding to Uris.

Uris reached out to take it, but the moment she touched it, a hint of confusion appeared on her face.

“This is…”

Uris was blind. Her sense of touch for items in her hand was very sensitive. Basically, after touching it once, she could outline the general shape of the object in her mind.

And the item the person just handed her, Uris knew what it was the moment she touched it.

This was a standard faceless goddess pendant of the Church of the Savior Goddess. Even though its shape was very smooth and well-worn, Uris could recognize it as soon as she touched it.

This was because she also touched her own pendant every day before praying and sleeping.

What did the other party mean by giving her this?

But soon, when Uris felt the sculpted part of the goddess statue, the uneven carving, different from the smooth texture she remembered, made Uris’s expression change dramatically.

She almost threw the necklace away as if it were hot. Tara, however, caught the necklace precisely, preventing it from falling onto the carpet.

“This is blasphemy against the Goddess!”

Uris suppressed her anger and glared at Ciel, scolding, “How dare you add things to the Goddess statue arbitrarily?!”

“Blasphemy?”

Tara also immediately couldn’t hold back. She retorted coldly, “Your action of throwing away the Mother Goddess’s statue is the real blasphemy.”

“Mother Goddess?!”

Uris instantly became alert. She quickly stood up. Four white shadows rapidly emerged from behind her. She looked at Tara and said through gritted teeth, “You are from the Divine Advent Church…”

The words for Goddess and Mother Goddess were not the same in Ansu language. And the word Mother Goddess was clearly not a term people from the Church of the Savior Goddess would use.

Therefore, she dared to be certain that the other party was from the Divine Advent Church.

The atmosphere in the reception room began to become tense. Uris didn’t know the other party’s strength. At this moment, she didn’t dare to act rashly and was looking for an opportunity to escape or attack.
