Shirai brother of a certain science

Chapter 72 The Purpose of the Roman Orthodox Church

"Why am I wanted?!"

After recovering, his face was full of collapse.

"How would I know."

"It's impossible"

Ignoring Tita who was always thinking about it, Shirai began to flip through the magic newspaper in his hand.

The above is very long, but most of it is some useless nonsense, and there is only one sentence that is useful.

Last night, the Roman Orthodox nun Tita Lorenzetti killed two Puritan magicians and took away the Puritan Catalog of Prohibited Books.

List of banned books? !
Seeing this word, Shirai froze for a moment.

He thought that he would have to wait decades before he would come into contact with this word.

But he also understood that the list of banned books was not the little nun who liked to bite people's heads, but her predecessor.

Continue to scroll down, it is a photo of two corpses (uncensored version).

The deceased's expression was quite peaceful, giving the impression that he was asleep.The fatal wound was in the chest area, where someone pierced the heart with a spear.

"You really didn't do this?"

After hypnotizing the person, and then using the golden spear to take away the combo, no matter how you look at it, it's Tita's method, right?
"It's really not me, someone framed me!"

Tita obviously noticed this too, and said aggrievedly.

"If you are unfamiliar with the place, who will frame you?"

Shirai looked at the newspaper and thought.

Tita is not a native of London. She is also famous in Rome. In London, except for some high-level figures who pay attention to seed players from other sects, who would pay attention to her small role?
But she really didn't do this, because when the crime happened last night, Tita had been with him the whole time, and she hadn't left the house all night.

And from the information in the newspaper, he also deduced one thing.

"So... your goal is to catalog the banned books?"

"No no, we"

Tita wanted to deny it at first, but Shirai could tell from her hands tightly grasping the nun's uniform and her flustered eyes.

He guessed right.

"If your goal is not the list of banned books, then how could someone put the blame on you for the list of banned books?"

Putting down the magic newspaper, Shirai sneered.

"So what are you going to do to find the Catalog of Prohibited Books? Do you need a book of magic that she is carrying? Or do you need her knowledge? Let me guess it should be some kind of knowledge? It's a filthy existence, you don't even have time to hide, how could you want a book of grimoires?"

"."

Tita didn't speak, but her expression as if she had seen a ghost made Shirai understand that he must have guessed right.

"Forget it, don't guess, let me tell you."

Tita sighed, and said with some helplessness, she really didn't dare to let Shirai continue to guess, otherwise she felt that the other party would guess her old background.

After pouring himself a cup of hot tea, Tita slowly told the story.

The Roman Orthodox Church did come here for the list of banned books, but they didn't have any malice towards the list of banned books. They just took the normal diplomatic channel and requested to use the list of banned books once.

They need a catalog of banned books to identify something, something they don't even know the details of.

"what?"

Shirai frowned and asked.

The Roman Orthodox Church can be regarded as a long-established Christian sect, but there are still things that they don't know the name of?

"I don't know." Tita shook her head and said, "My position is not enough to get information about that thing. I am only responsible for following and protecting it. Diplomatic matters are handled by a special bishop."

"Tsk, I'm here to take the blame."

Shirai couldn't help but interjected.

Ignoring Shirai's joking words, Tita continued: "Although I don't know the specific information, that thing should be alive."

"Live?"

"That's right, as a guard, I once got close to that thing. It was locked in a black box about [-] meters long and one meter wide. That box left a deep impression on me," Tita recalled.

"The thing you're talking about looks a bit like a coffin."

Tita's words made Shirai think of something.

"It should be a coffin. There are many runes engraved on it, and the ink fountain line is flicked with the magic method of the Celestial Dynasty. There are several golden chains tied on the outermost part."

"Why do I feel that this is not like protecting what's inside, but more like preventing what's inside from getting out?"

The more Shirai listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Originally, it has not been done for so long, because the Puritans are afraid that the things inside will threaten London after they come out, and they have been refusing to let the catalog of banned books come into contact with us."

Tita sighed.

If the other party had let them access the list of banned books early, she would have left this ghost place long ago.

Before coming here, she yearned for this fog city, but now she feels that she was a little naive before.

The sky in London has changed again. After a rain last night, the daytime has turned sunny, but in the afternoon, the sky has become a little gloomy again.

Gudwin sat alone in the bar, drinking wine sullenly.

Usually he likes to drink with his upper body bare, but now forced by the situation, he not only put on a windbreaker, but also a wig he stole from a rich man.

Otherwise, those mages would swarm up like flies smelling fishy smell.

"Goodwin?"

A hand patted his shoulder, scaring his neck back.

"I'm not Goodwin, you've got the wrong person."

Gu Dewen quickly avoided his face and denied.

"It's me, Ralph."

The person who came was wearing a wide hat. He was in his 30s, but there was a little light in his narrow eyes, giving people the feeling of being targeted by wolves.

"It turned out to be you, Old Wolf, you scared me."

Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Gu Dewen breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not let down his vigilance.

Because this person is notoriously treacherous, which is also the origin of his nickname "Old Wolf", it is not guaranteed that he will betray himself like a magician.

"Hey, I brought you something good."

Ralph grinned, and his yellow teeth caused Goodwin's head to move back a little.The former didn't mind either, he glanced around a few times, and then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve.

It looks like a leaflet distributed in the square,

"What good stuff?"

There are not many that can be called good things by this product.

Gudwin took the paper and spread it out on the table.

The paper is not big, only the size of A4 paper, with many fine patterns drawn around it, half of the space is occupied by a hand-painted rising sun, and an address below.

"what is this?"

Goodwin was confused by the paper.

"The Puritan catalog of forbidden books was kidnapped, you know about this?"

Ralph sat beside Goodwin and asked in a low voice.

"I know."

The disappearance of the Catalog of Forbidden Books caused a great uproar. He had the opportunity to sit and drink in the bar because magicians have not been so strict in hunting the rough stones recently. Most magicians have gone to search for the whereabouts of the Catalog of Forbidden Books. rough stone.

"The list of banned books is here."

Ralph pointed to the leaflet and said.

"What do you mean?"

Goodwin didn't quite understand what he meant.

"A man stole the list of forbidden books, and from the [-] grimoires recorded in the list of forbidden books, he found a spell that converts talented people into those without talent!"

"Crack-"

As soon as Ralph finished speaking, the glass in Goodwin's hand cracked.

How could Gudewen fail to understand the meaning?
A person who is born with ability is called a talented person.

A person who knows nothing after birth and can only learn magic through acquired skills is called a person without talent.

In other words, someone can transform the rough stone into an ordinary person!
