Chapter 74 The torn book

"So...are you threatening me?"

Liz looked at Fanny in front of her, a trace of vicious murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered up this terrible thought with a disguised guilty expression.

"How can you understand it so well? I'm just giving you a chance, a chance to take the initiative to admit your mistakes to everyone."

Fanny's expression was very proud. She was not in a state to be frightened by Liz's terrifying appearance now, because she had something in her hand that Liz didn't want others to know.

She stood up slowly from sitting on the ground, holding in her right hand the white-covered book that she had just dropped aside.

"I'm really curious. What is written in your book? Could it be your diary? It contains some things that you would never say or show in normal times. Even you Some unspeakable things I have done over the years.”

"..."

Liz hid her clenched right hand behind her back. She was indeed a little panicked at the moment. Although Liz was not worried at all about Fanny handing the book in her hand directly to Lord Sirius. After all, the book itself was given to her by Lord Sirius. of.

But she was afraid that the other party would see the contents and make them public.

This is a secret, a secret that only exists between myself and Lord Siris and cannot be known by a third person. If the matter of undead magic is exposed, she will be stigmatized in various ways, and Lord Siris may also be suspected by others.

She didn't want that to happen. If it did happen, she would rather give up everything in the future and kill the woman in front of her in order to keep Siris' reputation.

"What do you need? There must be a reason for you to do this, right?"

Seeing how Liz, who was very aggressive towards her last time, gave in so quickly, a satisfied smile appeared on Fanny's lips.

"What do you think I need?"

"I……"

"I've said it from the beginning, I just hope you can admit your mistakes to everyone, so that everyone, including Sir Sirius, can see what kind of person you are.

I think this is not too much to ask for, right? After all, only by admitting who you are can you change yourself, right? "

Fanny felt that she had a firm control over Liz in front of her. Her fingers slid back and forth on the cover of the book, as if she was deliberately using such movements to provoke Liz.

To be honest, if it weren't for this, Fanny wouldn't have been able to completely break up with Liz.

It was true that she hated everything about Liz. She was jealous of her appearance and the special care Siris gave her. But this jealousy would not have burst out like this, because Fanny still cherishes her current job.

It was impossible for her to drive away a Liz without considering the possibility of losing her hard-earned job. Although in Anka, where prices are increasing day by day, one gold coin a month's work is definitely not as good as before, but this is also a unique and good job that can maintain a high living standard without completely giving up dignity.

But it was different now. This book was an opportunity for her, and she could not let this opportunity slip away from her fingertips.

"Let me see what you are hiding~"

Under Liz's horrified eyes, Fanny opened the book in her hand, but when she saw the title on the first page of the book in her hand, she was stunned for a moment.

"Light magic starts with learning a pious heart... Huh? What is this?"

Not only was she stunned, but Liz was also stunned.

how can that be possible? It was obviously a book full of how to learn and use undead magic, how could it turn into the "Light Magic Book" in Fanny's mouth.

In doubt, she ran to Fanny and grabbed the book without caring about anything else, and then looked again at the place where Fanny had just been reading.

Then I flipped through it quickly and probably read everything that followed.

That's right...

Could it be that only I can see the true appearance of this book?

Liz frowned, and her expression seemed to Fanny to be a disguised admission that there was indeed something wrong with the book, so she came to her senses and rushed forward again, grabbing the corner of the book in Liz's hand. Just pulled it up.

During this fierce struggle, the book was overwhelmed and finally torn from the middle by the two.

With a snap, the angry Liz slapped Fanny in the face. She stared angrily at this disgusting woman, not only because of what the other party had done, but also because of what she had received from Lord Sirius. His first gift was treated so cruelly.

"You...you hit me?"

Liz looked at Fanny with some amusement, wondering in her heart whether all the women in the world who were slapped would use such a sentence to answer the attacker.

Oh no, I don’t think so. Because when she was slapped by her father, she would never respond with such ridiculous words that seemed unbelievable.

"I understand... there must be something terrible written at the back of your book, that's why you're afraid of me continuing to read it. Since you don't want others to see it, why don't you let me help you~"

A trace of madness flashed across Fanny's face. At this moment, she was overwhelmed by anger. She just wanted to vent her shame after being slapped.

However, Fanny did not choose to fight back. Instead, she squatted down, picked up the half of the book that was close to her on the ground, and tore it into pieces with all her strength.

While tearing her apart, he scattered the remaining leaves in the air, as if he was going to make a snow fall in Liz's room.

And just when she was about to continue her actions and say a harsh word after finishing everything, she was thrown to the ground by Liz, and her hair was pulled tightly by Liz, as if she was trying to pull her away. Peel off the scalp normally.

"You... let go!"

"..."

Liz's eyes were full of anger. She didn't hear Fanny's voice begging for mercy at all, she was just venting and releasing in a haphazard manner.

But it was obvious that her thin body was no match for Fanny. Fanny quickly found a point of leverage, twisted her body with both hands, and kicked Liz in the stomach with her feet.

"You're done! I will tell everyone what you did to me today. You can't continue to live in the manor. People like you only deserve to live in the slums!"
  But it’s a pity that no one can teach you how to be a good person, because you have already killed your good father and tortured him to death with your shameful methods, haha~”

What answered her was not Liz's words, but another Liz's counterattack.

However, the result this time was a bit dramatic. Unexpectedly, Liz would ignore her verbal attack and rush towards Fanny. She pushed her into the bookshelf behind her.

The bookshelf fell directly towards Fanny under the impact. Fanny, who was trying to avoid the bookshelf in a panic, accidentally stepped on a pile of paper scraps on the ground, lost her balance and fell backwards.

Finally, his head hit the sharp corner of the table and he passed out on the spot.

"Fanny?"

Looking at the unconscious Fanny and the blood slowly flowing out from the place where the other party fell, Liz suddenly panicked.

She...killed someone?

In fact, Liz didn't know that Fanny was not dead at this moment. She just broke the back of her head and then fainted temporarily.

But in this situation, how could she have the energy to distinguish such a difference? Seeing the pool of blood on the ground, Liz felt that she couldn't explain it at all.

"Fanny? Lizzie?"

Just at this time, Hetty's voice came from downstairs.

There was no time to think about how to deal with it, but Liz knew that this had to be her secret, otherwise even if Sir Sirius wouldn't say anything, she wouldn't be able to continue to stay in the manor like this as if nothing had happened.

It took less than half a minute for Liz to push Fanny under her bed with all her strength. After taking a look at the blood stains on the ground and hearing the approaching footsteps, Liz gritted her teeth and decided to take the risk. once. She pulled off the bed sheet and covered it directly on the floor, then relieved the tension in her heart and closed the door. Finally, she happened to meet Hetty who came to the door of her room.

"Hetty?"

"Sister Liz, are you there? Why didn't you reply to me when I called you just now..." Hetty puffed her mouth, looking unhappy, "By the way, Sister Liz, have you seen Sister Fanny?" "

"Fanny? Didn't she go to town?"

Liz's on-the-spot reaction was pretty good, and she didn't reveal any clues in front of Hetty at this moment.

"That's it...it seems like she just ran outside these few days when she had nothing to do. I don't know what she was doing."

"……Yeah?"

Liz didn't expect that the lie she made up at random was actually quite reasonable, but now she obviously needed to get Hetty away from the scene of the crime as far as possible.

"Is there a problem?"

"Oh, yes, that's right." Hetty stuck out her tongue, and then remembered the purpose of coming to find Liz, "Sir Siris seems to want us to leave first, he needs to entertain a guest."

"Hosting guests? Who are we hosting?"

"It seems to be a nun from the church. I don't know for sure... I don't even understand why Lord Siris asked us to go out first. Normally, doesn't he want us to stay and serve them?"

"Lord Siris naturally has his reasons."

Liz found that she didn't seem to question Sirius's decisions at all now. She didn't hesitate at all when she said these words.

"That's right. In that case, sister Liz, let's leave as soon as possible."

With that said, Hetty was about to come over and hold Liz's hand, but Liz cleverly dodged it.

Seeing Hetty's confused look, Liz could only find a reason to explain: "I'm sorry, Hetty. Please take the other sisters away first. I haven't done what Sir Sirius has told me yet. I'll wait until I do it." After that, I went out through the back door."

"That's it, then I'll leave first~"

Hetty was a very nervous person, and it was impossible to see anything in front of Hetty, who was good at acting, so she went downstairs and left without doubting that he was there.

And seeing that the other party had gone away, Liz finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to the house, she began to wonder what she should do with the body under the bed.

--------

On the other side, Sirius in the reception hall was humming an unknown song while preparing tea and snacks for today's guests.

Sometimes he himself feels that if he tells too many lies, he will believe them.

At least now that he was standing in front of this witch, he was no longer as nervous as the first time.

Of course, in order to trigger the 50-50 ability to avoid accidents, he still kicked everyone out of the room in advance.

"Miss Alice, please don't be polite or formal."

"..."

Today, Mo La is still wearing the nun's uniform she wore in church. The black and white style gives the girl a pure and flawless feeling, and the pure white stockings on her lower body make her look like a saint.

Simple, beautiful and holy. This series of words can all be applied to this girl.

Of course, the premise is that Sirius knows nothing, neither the terrifying strength of the opponent nor the irreconcilable hatred between the opponent and himself.

"Lord Sirius, you..."

"Miss Sister, you seem a little nervous. Are you worried about anything recently?"

Sirius's handsome face wore a gentleman's smile, he looked so approachable and radiant.

But Nora, who was sitting across the table, didn't feel at ease. Instead, she frowned slightly.

"I have no worries, Sir Sirius. I am actually here to convey the teachings of the Church of Light to you. I believe that people like you would be happy to share your views on the God of Light and the Church itself."

"That's true."

Sirius nodded, "I do respect the church very much, and at the same time I am grateful for all that the God of Light has brought to mankind."

"..."

Nora gritted her teeth, but finally squeezed out a smile from between her teeth.

"It seems that Sir Sirius is a very pious man."

"Who says it isn't?"

"..." The more Mo La continued talking, the more she felt that she had no need to communicate with this man at all. Apart from hearing lies, she didn't hear anything else useful. "I want to hear what you think about Anka." What kind of view does the church hold? Sir Siris, can you tell me?"

"of course can."

Sirius gracefully picked up the cup and blew on the hot black tea, then took a sip of the tea inside. When he put down the cup, he had just thought about how to talk nonsense.

"If I were to use one adjective to describe the church of Ankh, then I should say it is a flower of hope blooming in the Jedi."

"Flower of Hope?"

When Mora heard this word, she always felt that Sirius meant something.

"Yes, this flower bloomed on the ruins, bringing the people of Anka to find hope in crisis after crisis, allowing them to persevere. Isn't this the flower of hope?"

"..."

“I think the Anka Church is such an existence, it is the hope in the eyes of the Anka people.

That’s why everyone is so willing to hand over the city’s future to the church and let the church lead them toward a better future.

That is to say..."

“In other words, Ankh cannot live without the church.

Or in other words, if you want to deal with Ankh, you only need to deal with the Church. Is this what you mean, Sir Sirius? "

"..."

Sirius felt as if the atmosphere of this conversation suddenly became strange.
