The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 216

West District, Mayfair District, Archbishop’s Palace of the Church of the Savior Goddess, Archbishop Eleanor’s private prayer room.

Eleanor, wearing a faceless mask, looked at Ciel before her and slowly said, “Society of Merriment? Are you sure?”

“One hundred percent sure.” Ciel slightly nodded.

Eleanor lowered her head, deep in thought for a long time. She looked up at Ciel again and replied, “If it is confirmed to be the Society of Merriment, I will take action.”

The Society of Merriment had caused such a huge incident in North Ansu, not only causing them to lose a large number of believers but also making their religious status precarious. On top of that, the Church of the God of Order, which wanted to become the sole state religion, was also watching covetously…

If it was truly as the girl before her said, that not only the royal family and the Church of the God of Order, but also the Society of Merriment was involved in the assassination of Ashford, then the Church of the Savior Goddess could no longer continue to suffer in silence.

This was a combined effort targeting the Church of the Savior Goddess. Everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie from the corpse of the Church of the Savior Goddess. Continuing to remain silent and inactive would only lead to the demise of the Church of the Savior Goddess in silence.

“Do you have any information about that member of the Society of Merriment? That Overseer-level person.” Eleanor looked at Ciel before her and asked.

“My subordinates are searching.” Ciel replied calmly.

“Okay… but I have one more condition.”

Eleanor looked in Amy’s direction and said, “The Saintess must remain in the Archbishop’s Palace.”

“Why?” Ciel asked.

She naturally knew that it would be more dangerous for Amy to stay in her original place now, but Eleanor had to give a reasonable reason.

“Our Saintess died.”

Eleanor slowly stood up, looking at Ciel who was sitting before her, and said, “The specific cause of death has not been publicly announced, but I know some things.”

“What things?”

“The Saintess had a severe external injury on the back of her head,”

Eleanor said this, her voice carrying a slight hint of indignation. It seemed this matter ignited her anger. “Her brain was taken by someone, completely.”

Brain was… taken?

Instantly, Ciel connected the brain to Windsor’s brain.

Same brain…

Pharos Medical Association and the Church of the God of Order?

There were not so many coincidences in the world. This was definitely done by someone from the Church of the God of Order or the Pharos Medical Association.

The Church of the God of Order didn’t have as many divine beliefs and Saintess worship. As for Eleanor, she truly believed that the Saintess served God and sacrificed herself for her faith. Therefore, Eleanor would also protect the Saintess for her faith.

The God of the Church of the God of Order was just a symbol. The so-called Saintess was more like a tool used to explore the Other Side—this was evident from their attitude towards candidate Saintess Nia.

When the candidate Saintess lost her usefulness, they didn’t even arrange for a “Psychiatrist”‘s treatment. They directly sent the half-mad Nia to the Roswell family to be Avena’s guard.

One must know that Nia was already 120 years old. This meant that, excluding the time spent with Avena, Nia had contributed to the Church of the God of Order for at least a hundred years… In the end, she ended up being abandoned in her old age.

“Do you know what caused Ashford’s death?” Ciel looked at Eleanor and said with a smile.

“What caused it?” Eleanor asked.

She only knew that Ashford died from a viral infection, but she didn’t know the specific reason or cause of death. In Eleanor’s eyes, this might have been an act of sabotage by the Society of Merriment.

The “Subverter” didn’t kill Ashford last time. This time, they sent a “Source of Cholera” to finish him off.

“He obtained a brain. In the process of researching it, he was discovered.”

Ciel slowly said, “A brain.”

Brain…

Clearly, Eleanor also made a connection.

“How do you know that?” Eleanor quickly pressed.

“Because I was the one who sent that brain…”

Ciel leaned back against the chair behind her and lightly yawned. “That brain came from Iva Lafayette of the Pharos Medical Association. This Professor Lafayette has some dealings with the Church of the God of Order, and Forte is also involved.”

“Who exactly are you…?”

If this information was true, it was indeed extremely terrifying and subversive. But even more terrifying was the intelligence gathering ability of the black-haired girl before her.

“How do you prove this is true?” Eleanor pressed. She wanted a definite answer.

How to prove it? How do I prove something I cut out myself?

“Oh, you can go and kidnap Princess Windsor now. That brain is still inside her skull.”

Ciel smiled slightly. “If you don’t believe me, you can open her skull and see.”

Eleanor took a deep breath. She was about to say something, but quickly suppressed her anger.

The other party had suggested something that absolutely could not be done to verify it, which clearly meant they didn’t intend to be reasonable.

But what if the information the other party provided was true…

The organization behind the girl was definitely not ordinary. The intelligence gathering ability of the organization behind her was beyond Eleanor’s imagination.

“I can only wait for you to find that Overseer first. Only after you capture them can I confirm the truth of everything.”

Eleanor said.

“That’s natural.” Ciel nodded.

Knock knock knock—

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Eleanor looked towards the door. After a moment of silence, she walked to the door, saying as she went, “Wait a moment.”

She opened the door of her private prayer room.

Unless it was an emergency, the church attendants would not knock on her door, because it was her prayer time now.

“Your Excellency Archbishop, a mute ‘Physician’ is at the entrance and wishes to see you. It seems they are from the Redemption Society. This is their note…”

The female attendant at the door handed over a note.

Eleanor reached out and took it. It contained only a short sentence.

【The person has been found】

Eleanor slightly frowned. She asked, “Is that mute person still there?”

“Waiting at the entrance.”

“Bring them directly over.”

After saying that, Eleanor half-closed the door and walked directly back to her seat.

“It seems they have been found…”

Ciel smelled a familiar pheromone. She had already analyzed the information contained within the pheromone.

“Mond von Rhein…”

Ciel closed her eyes, sensing the information contained in the pheromone.

“Holy See of the Church of the God of Order?”

Knock knock knock—

Another knock on the door echoed. A person completely shrouded in black robes pushed open the door. After closing the door with their hand, they stood behind Ciel.

“You…”

Eleanor looked at this impolite “Physician” with displeasure. But when she looked at the “Physician,” she was slightly stunned.

Only after looking directly for 2 seconds, a distorted, horrifying figure appeared in her true vision. Eleanor’s body instinctively leaned back a little.

She had lived for so many years and seen countless transcendents whose appearances had been ravaged by potions, but she had never seen such a disgusting and frightening stitched creation.

She knew that there was no longer any need to question that so-called “Physician.”

This girl named Ciel, who was before her, had advanced from “Coroner.” No wonder the mutation on her hand was so different from the potion erosion reactions of other “Queen Bees.”

“She is out, but very cautious. She will likely discover my subordinates soon.”

Ciel opened her eyes and looked at Eleanor before her, asking, “The answer is right before our eyes… Should we go and find her?”

Eleanor looked at the gloomy black-haired girl before her. After a moment of silence, she looked at Amy beside her.

They cannot continue like this… No more Saintesses can suffer such treatment…

Therefore, even though the girl before her was so strange, and the organization behind her was so mysterious, Eleanor had to act according to the other party’s wishes.

Eleanor would not back down.

Not only because they seemed to have very similar interests…

Because Eleanor knew very well that in Ansu City, if she wanted to do something, no one could stop her.

Absolute power can make any plan seem ridiculous… Even if the black-haired girl before her was truly plotting something, it would only take a breath to bury her.

“Then let’s go.”

Eleanor raised her hand to adjust the mask on her face. She said in a hoarse voice, “Where is she?”
