Chapter 74 The Torn Book
"So...are you threatening me?"
Liz looked at Fanny in front of her, with a trace of vicious murderous intent flashing in her eyes, but she quickly used this terrible idea ingeniously He used a disguised guilty expression to cover up the past.
"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 going to be frightened by Liz's terrifying appearance now. state, because she has something in her hand that Liz doesn'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 she has done over the years."
"..."
Liz hid her clenched right hand tightly behind her back. She was indeed a little panicked at the moment, although Liz was not worried at all that Fanny would put the book in her hand directly. Give it to Lord Sirius. After all, this book itself was given to him by Lord Sirius.
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?"
Liz, who was very aggressive towards her last time, actually 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 that you can admit your mistake to everyone, so that everyone, including Sir Sirius, can see who you are. What kind of person.
I think this is not too much to ask, right? After all, only by admitting what kind of person you are can you change yourself, right?"
Fanny felt that she had firmly controlled Liz in front of her, her fingers on the book The cover slid back and forth, as if this action was deliberately used 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, her whole body The person 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 humor. She wondered 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 are afraid of me continuing to read it. Since you don't want others to see it, why don't you let me help you~"
Fan A trace of madness flashed across Ni'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. Don't think about continuing 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 anymore. How should you behave, because your good father has been killed by you and tortured to death by you using 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, and Fanny, who was avoiding the bookshelf in a panic, accidentally stepped on the 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? Liz?"
Just at this moment, 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 sheets and covered them directly on the floor, then relieved the tension in her heart and closed the door. Finally, she happened to run into Hetty who came to the door of her room.
"Hetty?"
"Sister Liz, are you there? Why didn't you answer me when I called you just now..." Hetty puffed her mouth, looking unhappy, "By the way, Sister Liz, look Have you arrived at Sister Fanny?"
"Fanny? Didn't she go to the city?"
Liz's reaction on the spot was still good. At this moment, she did not reveal any clues in front of Hetty.
"Is that so... It seems that she has run outside these few days when she has nothing to do, and she doesn't know what she is doing."
"...Really?"
Liz didn't expect that the lie she made up casually was actually reasonable, but now she It was obviously more necessary to move Hetty away from the scene of the crime, as far as possible.
"What's the matter?"
"Oh, yes, that's right." Hetty stuck out her tongue, and then remembered her purpose of coming to find Liz, "Sir Siris seems to want us to leave first, he needs to entertain someone Guests."
"Entertaining guests? Who are they entertaining?"
"It seems to be a nun from the church. I don't know very well...I don't even understand why Lord Siris asked us to go out first. Normally, he doesn't ask us to stay and serve them. "Of
course Lord Sirius has his reasons."
Liz found that she didn't seem to question any of Sirius's decisions now, and she didn't hesitate at all when she said this.
"That's right. In that case, sister Liz, let's leave as soon as possible."
With that, 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'll go out the back door."
"That's it, then I'll leave first~"
Hetty is a very nervous person, and it's impossible to see anything in front of Hetty, who has good acting skills, so no Suspecting someone else, he went downstairs and left.
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. Her lower body is The pure white stockings made 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 had a gentlemanly smile on his handsome face, and he looked so approachable. It's so 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." "
This It's true."
Sirius nodded, "I do respect the church very much, and at the same time I am grateful to the God of Light for all that he has brought to mankind."
"..."
Mora gritted her teeth, but in the end she still got through the gap between her teeth. Squeeze out a smile.
"It seems that Sir Sirius is a very pious person."
"Who says otherwise."
"..." The more Mo La continued talking, the more she felt that she had no need to communicate with this man at all. All she heard was that Apart from the lies, I didn't hear anything else useful. "I want to hear your views on Anka's church. Sir Sirius, can you tell me?" "
Of course."
Sirius was elegant. He 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 just thought about how to talk nonsense.
"If I were to use an 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 cared about it. Something pointed out.
"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 people of Anka.
That's why everyone is so willing to hand over the future of the city to the church and let the church lead them to a better future.
In other words , ..."
"In other words, Anka cannot live without the Church.
Or in other words, if you want to deal with Anka, you only need to deal with the Church. Is this what you mean, Lord Siris?" "
..."
Sirius felt as if the atmosphere of this conversation suddenly became strange.
