Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

"In view of this, I propose that Sister Vera be appointed as the first Pope of the Church of Wallonia. We will use this as a basis to apply to the Holy Church for the canonization of a 'saint' and to establish the Church's legitimate status in the Papacy."

Chapter 482 Discussion on Silver Castle

Wallonia can lose the Seven Seas Kingdom, but the Seven Seas Kingdom cannot lose Wallonia. The Council of Six unanimously approved the elevation of Vera to Pope without any opposition.

Soon, the superhuman in the parliament building's communications room received the notification document from the parliament. He was shocked by its contents, but had no time to ponder what was happening—

This notification document was not intended for them, but was to be delivered separately to the Royal Cathedral of the Holy Church of Ansu, Pope Peter of the Holy Church, the Royal Family and Cabinet of Silver Castle, the Council of Twelve Cardinals of the Papacy, and Patriarch Julian of the Papacy.

There were so many people to notify that the civil servants quickly became busy.

Aside from Tia, whom Sieg had already consulted and knew the inside story, Vera would probably be the last to know that she was to be canonized as a living saint.

This is somewhat outrageous; the Church doesn't actually have many precedents of living people becoming saints. But in this land beyond the seas, they don't care about such things. We are barbarians, and Sieg only hopes to add some weight to Vera's background so as to fool the people back home.

Soon enough, the communications room of the Royal Cathedral and the external affairs office of the Silver Castle on the mountaintop both received messages from the Land of the Seven Seas.

Several correspondent priests solemnly delivered the copied Golden City notification documents to the Apostolic Palace.

Peter, who had just put on his crown and was wearing his white-gold bishop's robe, saw the document, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry about it for now. Let's go to the meeting later and see what Famas and the others have to say."

As luck would have it, the Royal Cathedral was holding its monthly cardinal council, with all the crowned bishops present, and Peter presiding over the meeting.

Peter had not yet arrived, but all the bishops had already gathered, including not only the bishop of Silvercastle, but also the bishops of Nuremberg, Thessius, Blackwater Harbor, and various regions of Hall County.

Generally, a large diocese will have three to four crowned bishops. Bishops in rural areas, mountainous regions, or minor towns usually wear a single crown, while bishops in major cities generally wear a double crown.

The cardinals who came to Silver Castle to attend the council were bishops with double crowns, also known as cardinals.

But this year is special for the Parish of Newport and the Parish of Dietrich.

Marshall of Newport News was in poor health and had not attended the meeting for two years. In addition, Newport News only had a port and a few towns, and there were no extra bishops, so Sister Isabella had to take his place.

The original bishop of the Diocese of Thesius, Sistor, passed away this year, and the other bishops were all busy with their own affairs, so they entrusted the newly elected bishop, Hacker, to attend the meeting.

Besides the bishop, there were about a dozen journalists with cameras set up. Some of these journalists came from the newspaper affiliated with the Royal Cathedral, while others were invited by the local bishops, and most were friends.

For example, the Friday Economic News from New York, London, and Hong Kong was visited by editor-in-chief Charles and his subordinate Daisy.

The bishop and the reporters, having nothing else to do, were drinking tea and chatting.

The bishop also brought local specialties from his diocese and enthusiastically promoted them in front of the cameras while the reporters were all there.

The noise gradually subsided only when the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Peter was helped up to the platform by two priests. He glanced around, coughed a few times, and said, "I've been sleeping late these past few days, so I'm a little late. But the meeting content is basically the same as last month's. It's something that's been dragging on for several months, so there's no rush."

“Let’s talk about some new developments this month. Hmm… let’s start with the most recent ones. The Seven Seas sent a document to Saint-Simon early this morning; they want to confer a saint upon someone in their territory.”

The bishops looked hesitant.

What is the relationship between the canonization of saints and their Holy Church?

Do you, a nation of the seven seas, really need the Church of Anzu to intervene in your canonization of locals? We're not even that close!

You should go talk to Saint Enggard about this!

Peter added, “She is a nun from Ansu, and she is not very old.”

"Our nuns?"

"What happened? Someone's dead?"

"When did the Land of the Seven Seas become so chaotic, with Saint Grace there..."

"I heard before that they were engaging in heretical worship, and some of our kids went over and got into a fight because they couldn't stand it?"

Peter coughed a few times and corrected him, "The person is still alive. Those below, don't talk nonsense."

The bishops then fell silent.

Isabella was unaware that Vera had gone to the Land of the Seven Seas; she was focused on taking notes, waiting to show them to Archbishop Marshall when she returned.

Bishop Famas's expression turned slightly somber.

Then Peter smiled and looked at Isabella and Famas, saying, "And this person in question... is none other than our good student Famas, Sister Elvira Salvia."

"Sister Vera has gone to the Land of the Seven Seas, and now the authorities of the Golden City are asking her to become the Pope of the local church in the Golden City."

Upon hearing this, Isabella, who was still looking very serious, immediately snapped a long, thick black line across her notebook.

It's Vera!

Before Isabella could figure it out, Bishop Famas, who was not far away, also suddenly felt dizzy.

Vera had previously told him it was for the Anti-Corruption Bureau and that she needed to go to St. Engard.

He didn't think much of it.

How dangerous could it be to go to Saint Engard? Is it as dangerous as going to the Iris Flower during the civil war in Mistmoon?

The bishop readily agreed, but now, upon closer inspection:

Vera, Vera! What have you been doing? How did you become the Pope after just one month in the Land of the Seven Seas?

..............

Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Room 304, 3rd Floor, Baiyinbao Suburbs.

Prince Albert Moen sat in a chair, holding the printed document, looking at the lines of text, and grinned in amazement.

The current minister, Sir Roman Williams, was forced to leave his beloved throne and stand beside Albert, asking, "Your Highness, what are your thoughts on the affairs of the Seven Seas?"

“Interesting. Because of the thunderstorm, we don’t know much about the Seven Seas Kingdom. Now it seems that the internal divisions within the Seven Seas Kingdom are quite serious, especially in the Golden City.”

Albert patted the document and said, "Although the Council of Six holds absolute power, there is the Jewel Island Chain underground and Saint Engard outside, thus creating a balance of power. The Council of Six uses Wallon to quell thunderstorms and open up shipping routes, the Jewel Island Chain provides commercial intelligence to promote trade, and Saint Engard protects merchant ships from foreign enemies. None of them can be dispensed with."

"And now we see that this iron triangle has been torn in two. What if someone interferes!"

Roman interrupted ruthlessly, "I'm asking about Elvira Salvia."

"As for what you said, that's an internal matter for the Seven Seas Kingdom. But my prince, if you start thinking about interfering in the internal disputes of other countries, then you are in grave danger."

Albert shrugged regretfully and said, "What can I say, Roman?"

Roman chuckled and said, "You could also try to persuade Tia Sulph to stop coming to my Foreign Affairs Department every day to steal fruit and tea."

I need to take a day off tomorrow at 4 AM.

I had too many classes today, all until 9 pm. To adjust my sleep habits, I'm taking the day off.

I'll make up for it at 4 AM tomorrow.

I used Gemini 3.0's Big Banana AI drawing tool during class and found it to be pretty good. Although it lacks a bit in terms of professionalism, it's quite user-friendly for someone like me who just wants to torture myself by drawing graphics locally on an AMD GPU.

Everyone can go and have a look.

I wrote some prompts and had the AI ​​generate a sketch of the Upside-Down Temple. The result looks something like this:

Chapter 483 Tia, Anne, and Eleanor

As for taking the fruit, it was purely because Tia wanted to eat it. After all, she was already there, so who could refuse to grab a couple of pieces of fruit and stuff them in her mouth?

As for the tea leaves—I'm really sorry, I genuinely forgot to turn it off.

Tia also tasted these bagged teas, which were top-quality fermented black teas from Ansu. They weren't the kind that were broken into powder, but rather whole tea leaves. An equal weight of these tea leaves could probably rival gold.

Although it was rather rude of Tia to casually smuggle a couple of packets of tea, Albert somewhat agreed with it. After all, it would be a waste for Roman, a taste bud who only knows how to add saccharin, to drink such tea.

Let's not talk about tea.

After consulting with Roman, Albert immediately called a carriage and went to 16 Crown Street.

It is located at 16 Crown Street.

For the past month, Tia has been fully immersed in the two-way transformation ritual between human and spirit/spirit and human.

The ritual of humans transforming into spirits has existed for a long time, and the famous "spirit transformation" is a product of these rituals. Tia has also mastered its principles.

In short, it means: taking advantage of the pollution characteristics of the deep sea, directly eroding infants and young children when their personalities have not yet formed and their souls are weak, and then the pollution expands to the physical body. At this time, other rituals are used to dissolve the physical body and eventually restore it to the fusion of spirit and soul, establishing a permanent and complete connection with the deep sea, and the human is transformed into a spiritual body.

Humans can absolutely become spirits. Spirits may actually be humans. This is also a settled conclusion in the supernatural world.

This wasn't difficult for her, but transforming her spirit into a human was fraught with problems.

The biggest problem is severing the permanent and complete connection between the spirit and the deep sea. Or rather, why don't humans have this deep-rooted connection with the deep sea? This was the biggest obstacle she encountered when she transformed the squid head into a human.

Later, Eleanor stole Lexar's journal from her.

The main content of Rexar's Notebook is about the incarnation of the Lord, but the name of the incarnation ritual was added by later people. The full name of the ritual is "Rexar's Spirit Capture Ritual 2.12.5 (Final Version)".

The journal details his observations and some of his own speculations and thoughts while studying the deep-sea deities inhabiting human bodies.

He believed that the key to the incarnation of the Lord was the "physical body." When he tried to use the puppets he made to guide the gods to descend, although the spirit of the false god in the deep sea could still descend into the material world, the puppets were soon corrupted by the spirit and could only be bound by rituals such as those in other dimensions.

This is also the current "the Lord's Way becoming flesh".

After using Ulrich's technology to create specialized "artificial humans" as physical vessels, the problem of spiritual contamination was solved, and the gods were completely "controllable".

But after only two experiments, he abruptly halted all related research within the Transformation Hand.

The reason given was that it violated the bottom line of human ethics and morality, and the two experiments conducted simultaneously resulted in one success and one failure.

The first event took place in June of Holy Calendar 518, in conjunction with the Dragon Cult within the Empire, and in September, the Silver Frost Dragon Lilith was elevated.

The second event took place in July of Holy Calendar 518, in conjunction with the Twin Serpents Order within Anzu. In August, a great plague spread, alarming Rexar. Subsequently, Rexar betrayed the Dragon Order, having the 'Antimony Sorcerer' Santis forcibly expel Lilith, who had just arrived in the container, back to the deep sea. He also halted all related research, sealing away all the details and entrusting them to the Alchemy Society, which was then at odds with Rexar.

That is, the notebook in Tia's hand.

Ulrich's first disciple had a very strong sense of morality, and this action even involved Tia—Vera was a product of this grand ceremony.

What troubled Tia was that although the journal contained information and data about the Lord's incarnation, as well as records of the God's descent, the section about creating this batch of "artificial humans" that were not contaminated by the false gods of the deep sea had been completely deleted by Rexar!

This is precisely what she needs most; the rest, while useful, are not much.

She can't possibly explore Vera's body to research how to create artificial humans specifically for spirits, can she?

Vera might be willing, but she might not!

Vera hasn't returned yet, so Tia doesn't have the chance to explore.

Around six or seven in the morning, she finished messing with the spirit that had been tied to the operating table the night before, transformed it into an incredibly beautiful girl, and threw it into the deep sea, taking another significant step towards the deep-sea amusement park project.

The ritual room was very clean; after all, it wasn't a human surgery, and there was no blood or limbs involved.

Because it was converted from a study, there are bookshelves on both sides of the wall, and on the window are daffodils that Tia and Anne planted together, cacti that Vera grew, and stones that Eleanor grew.

The morning sunlight streamed in, creating a bright and healthy atmosphere, completely devoid of any gloomy or evil ambiance.

But when Annie saw the spirit being thrown back into the sea, she felt a little sorry for it and removed the purification ritual from the room, saying, "That one already looked quite human, didn't it? To be honest, I was too scared to watch when you cut her open, Tia."

Tia sat in a chair wiping her sweat and said, "They only look like humans on the outside, but inside they are still wicked little spirits. Some of the clever ones even pretend to have been transformed into humans to deceive me!"

Annie said seriously, "Is it possible that they were really transformed into humans, but Tia, you're just being too stubborn?"

Annie began to imagine what the Great Demon Queen Tia looked like, wielding an evil ritual knife to transform innocent spirits into humans. The pitiful little spirit girl cried as she realized that she had been defiled and could never go back.

Then, in an instant, it was refined, and the little girl who had just been pulled from hell to heaven was thrown back into hell.

As Annie thought about it, she began to fantasize that she had become a spirit that Tia could manipulate at will. She was caught and locked in the ritual room after breaking free from the ritual. She was in a state between "almost evil and falling into human form" and "successfully evil and falling into human form". She was also being spanked on the operating table by an angry Tia. She raised her eyebrows slightly with pleasure.

It's exciting, imaginative, and very Annie-esque.

Before Annie could finish her daydream, she saw Tia drop the ceremonial knife, glance at it a few times, and then come closer. Tia took two steps back and stammered, "What's going on?"

Tia and Annie, as if on the same wavelength, sniffed and said suspiciously, "Annie, I feel like you're thinking about something very unhealthy."

"Only unhealthy people think about unhealthy things."

"Makes sense."

"What makes sense... Don't talk, just give me a kiss. I need a good morning kiss today."

"No! You're a pervert!"

"hateful."

Anne tiptoed and gave the girl a hard kiss on the lips. She wanted to wrap her arms around Tia's neck and go a little deeper, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Eleanor biting a lollipop at the door.

Eleanor nodded and said, "Oh, oh, you can continue."
