The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch-Chapter 83 - Sacrifice Everyone Present, Summon the Mother Goddess? (3/3)
“You don’t need to investigate Adele further. Investigating her is useless.” Ciel shook her head gently. “Sherlon died at the Roswell estate. Do you know how he died?”
“Subordinate... currently only knows Sherlon is dead, his body returned to the Redemption Society, but subordinate did not know the Roswell family was involved...” Kitty spoke, her tone somewhat weak. “That young lady of the Roswell family dismissed her servants before the incident. The person I planted couldn’t bring back any information, unaware of what happened there.”
Avena hasn’t been exposed yet?
This surprised Ciel somewhat.
Then, in the simulation where Avena was attacked by Kitty, it was likely traced through Adele.
It might also be related to Avena and Adele going to Uris to report the matter together.
Kitty, kneeling before Ciel, also felt a wave of bitterness.
Her painstakingly established intelligence network in Berren City, which she believed was flawlessly rooted, turned out to be completely transparent before this lord.
This lord knew everything, even about her investigation into Adele.
“The Roswell family didn’t do it,” Ciel shook her head. “You don’t need to investigate Avena either, lest you invite trouble... Avena is currently under my control. Her guard, the third-tier ‘Crown Guard’ Nia, has also been influenced by me. They won’t pursue this matter further.”
Ciel’s words sent shivers down the kneeling Kitty’s spine.
The young lady of the Roswell family was controlled so easily? How long has it been since the incident...
And that third-tier “Crown Guard” was also influenced... Has she become an ally too?
A third-tier dealt with so casually... the power of the lord before her was unfathomable.
But Kitty still didn’t understand.
“Subordinate doesn’t understand...” Kitty spoke slowly, probing, “Why did Sherlon die at the Roswell estate, but the Roswell family wasn’t involved? Didn’t they participate?”
“You... cannot comprehend matters of this level yet.” Ciel shook her head gently.
Cannot comprehend this level?
A sliver of confusion arose in Kitty’s heart.
She was about to be promoted to High Priest, yet her level was still insufficient?
Then what level was required to know the truth behind this?
Was this even something she could meddle in?
“If I speak the truth and her name directly... she will know immediately.” Ciel spoke. “But I can use a special method to convey half the truth to you.”
“Please enlighten me, milord.” Kitty lowered her head even further, feeling deeply uneasy.
Deeper secrets of the Church... could someone of her level really know?
Why was this lord telling her?
Wouldn’t revealing such things invite punishment?
Or did she have a compelling reason to speak?
And also...
Just mentioning the name and truth would let the other party know instantly?

That sounded... just like the Mother Goddess?
Was the other party... the offspring or avatar of some deity?
Fear of the unknown began to envelop Kitty’s heart. She feared hearing news that could lead to her demise, yet dared not refuse to listen.
“Originally, I wouldn’t have sought you out,” Ciel looked at Kitty, whose head was deeply bowed before her. “But this matter involves the Church’s plans, so I had no choice but to find you.”
“A mysterious intelligence organization has arrived in Berren City. Currently, only I and that young lady of the Roswell family know of their arrival...”
Ciel paused slightly, seemingly choosing her words carefully, then spoke slowly:
“That organization has been constantly disrupting the Church’s plans. I was ordered to investigate it. And that Miss Roswell was unknowingly instigated by that intelligence organization into doing certain things...”
Is this... true?
An intelligence organization constantly sabotaging the Church’s plans, right here in Berren City?
And I didn’t notice at all?!
A wave of guilt washed over Kitty, causing her to lower her head even further.
No wonder her plans kept failing... It turned out she had already stepped into a realm beyond her comprehension.
Suddenly, the lord before Kitty stumbled back abruptly, hitting the bookshelf behind her. Several books fell to the floor.
“Damn it... she heard our conversation... she knows again...” The lord’s voice became urgent. Kitty’s heart leaped into her throat.
The lord wasn’t lying... Despite not mentioning any names, the person from that intelligence organization knew about their conversation!
“Quick! Kitty! Gather everyone in the sanctuary!” Ciel turned, pulled open the door, and commanded, “Those who aren’t congregation members too, bring them all to the sanctuary!”
“Milord... this stronghold...” Kitty wanted to say more but was cut off.
“Gather those people in the sanctuary! Don’t make me repeat myself!” Ciel raised her foot threateningly towards Kitty’s head, saying angrily, “Everyone!”
“I need... to attempt to call upon the Mother Goddess in the sanctuary, to confront her... Quickly!”
“Remember to bring more high-tier materials to the sanctuary for sacrifice!”
“Yes! Yes! Milord!” Kitty felt her mind explode. Hearing the plan to summon the Mother Goddess’s avatar, she quickly pulled her head out from under the lord’s foot, foregoing any further enjoyment, and dashed past the lord straight towards the underground sanctuary.
Summon the Mother Goddess...
The extreme excitement and fanaticism from having her head stepped on and the possibility of seeing the Mother Goddess now filled Kitty’s heart.
She would follow the lord’s instructions and bring everyone to the underground sanctuary!
Meanwhile, Ciel disgustedly lifted her right foot, rubbing the sole against the sharp edge of the bookshelf.
Gathered everyone without a fight...
Might as well try the summoning directly.
If successful, she would have leverage against that “Radiance Bishop”...
