Prologue - Showers Chapter 56: The Eagle's Nest (2)
Anna Wolf instructed Barrett Barbardello to pass on a small note to Kodore McLagan:
Respectful:
Mr. McLagan. Greetings to you.
We have been subjected to the most malicious surveillance and investigation from the Eagle's Nest. The surveillance I'm under here is clearly unusual, and I'll continue to act as a witch to induce the Eagle's Nest to misjudge and confuse their vision. The Eagle's Nest must be very well equipped for your situation, so I think you may be too vigilant to be monitored. Please remind a few young people to keep their mouths shut, open their eyes, see more, listen more, and talk less. Try not to show any tendencies in terms of daily habits and dietary preferences, I received news that the Eagle's Nest has a mind controller, and the importance and danger of the mind controller for intelligence work and counterintelligence work are naturally self-evident.
I would find a way to reach my grandmother and pass on any news through our coachman.
Anna Wolfe. Yours sincerely.

"Jingle bells" Anna rang the bell and called to Usain Bolt.
"Madame, what do you command?" Usain Bolt asked.
"Mr. Pence, I've finished reading these books, can you please help me put them back in their place?" Anna asked politely.
"Willing to serve, ma'am, is there anything else you can command?" Bolt narrowed his eyes, observing Anna's emotions and expressions.
'This guy is either a spellcaster or is observant, and I'll have to be careful. Anna said secretly in her heart. "Mr. Pence, I just read the book "The Mystery of Mana", this book is very interesting, I have only seen the remnants of this book in Zammir, this one of the Eagle's Nest is very well preserved, the cover is as clean as new, I think it is either borrowed often or cleaned often."
"Ah, ma'am, you are right. The Eagle's Nest has a large number of spellcasters, so Master Griffinhardt has established a public library to improve the treatment and level of spellcasters in Griffin's Domain. The Eagle's Nest library has been very successful and we are preparing to roll it out to the whole territory. Bolt said proudly. Presumably, there is no such complete spellcaster system in the Holy Falcon Empire, of course, except for the wizarding academy in Falkenridge, but I think Zamir must not have such favorable conditions. ”
"Yes, Mr. Burns, you're right, Zanmir has a shortage of spellcasters, so sometimes I have a hard time getting my hands on books if I want to." Anna deliberately steers Bolt in the wrong direction, convincing him that she is a witch, which Anna believes will help discourage Bolt from snooping on her more.
"Mr. Pence, I just saw a copy of the Simic Scholar's biological research notes, and I also saw Mrs. Jane Goodall's book, "The Biology of Elsa", but they are in a higher place, could you please show it to me? By the way, I would like to see if you have the second half of Mr. Andy Bathilda's book "China in China"? It is well known that in the library of the Wizarding Academy, the act of casting spells is absolutely not allowed. ”
"Oh, Wolf, ma'am, I don't think you need to be too restrained, spells are allowed in the Eagle's Nest Library, you don't have to worry." Bolt had the intention of testing Anna's spellcasting skills, but what he never dreamed of was that Anna was not a spellcaster. While she has a much more mana knowledge than the average person so that she can disguise herself as a caster and deceive many people, including them, that still doesn't hide the fact that she doesn't have the ability to cast spells.
"Mr. Pence, I beg your pardon, I think that casting a spell in the library is a desecration of a book, and if the book is damaged by the burn of mana, will I not become a sinner through the ages who destroys the medium of knowledge? So please do it for you. Anna smiled and looked into Bolt's eyes.
Bolt suddenly felt that he had been careless, and now he was pretty sure that Anna was a clever witch and had studied at the Holy Falcon Empire's Wizarding Academy. However, he really couldn't guess which academy this junior colleague belonged to, what direction of spell theory he was good at, and he couldn't tell which school he belonged to.
That's right, Bolt is also a wizard who studied at the Holy Falcon Empire's Wizarding Academy, and he is a mind controller. So Bolt had already raised Anna's danger level by several notches, so he was crazy about temptation. However, while mind controllers are adept at manipulating black mana to spieve into parts of other people's hearts and minds, Bolt doesn't easily manipulate the caster.
As for the reason, it's because it's a great humiliation to use Dementor Evoke on a spellcaster in the first place, and secondly, a powerful spellcaster can use their willpower and mana cognition to fight against Dementor Evoke, and a powerful person can also fight back against the caster based on their knowledge of Elsa. In this case, the Regent will not only be burned by the mana that escapes, but will also be invaded by the caster's mind and mind along with his Dementor. Therefore, with Bolt's caution, he will never use it lightly.
Bolt felt that he had revealed too much, so he decided that he must not reveal his spell-casting ability, even if he could not spy on Anna's information: "Madame, I admire your respect for knowledge, so Bolt will do the work for you." This may require you to wait a minute, though, I need to find a ladder. ”
"Okay, Mr. Pence, I think I've got enough patience." Anna said.
Bort nodded, turned and entered the side room, and with great difficulty brought a wooden ladder from inside, set it up next to the bookshelf, and climbed up the ladder tremblingly. 'Damn, this woman must be embarrassing me, I can't let her see the joke, otherwise I won't lose my lord's face.' Bolt thought to himself. Therefore, he tried his best to hide his physical problems. The ladder made a 'creaking' sound under Bolt's stepping. Bolt's climbing figure resembles a comical clown, as if ready to leap off a ladder at any moment.
Anna took the book from Bolt, smiled at Bolt, and sat back in her seat, immersed in the ocean of knowledge...
