Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

“I am not your Speaker Merlin. I am neither injured nor old, nor do I bear any curse. These spirits cannot do anything to me in a one-on-one fight.”

—It would be even better if they didn't fight one-on-one, but instead used righteous numbers to wipe them out. She simply projected the Sanctuary up and annihilated them all in one fell swoop.

Of course, the projection wasn't of the Upside-Down Temple; she still had a use for it.

The projection is of the Moon Gazing Tower.

Charles, seeing this, didn't know what to say.

But ultimately, it couldn't be stopped.

Tia is a saint.

Not only is Ansu an authoritarian state, but the Empire is as well, and it is far more authoritarian than Ansu. This can be seen from the number of superhuman beings among the kings of both countries and their political systems.

One had few extraordinary individuals nationwide, while the other had a national court; one was an enlightened monarchy, while the other was a monarchical autocracy. This gives us a glimpse into their differences.

There are a total of three saints at the entire forward outpost:

Alexander the Hammer;

"Lady" Bernice;

Tia, the "Daughter of the Tower".

Their areas of responsibility differ.

Tia then went to Bernice to discuss the matter. The old lady was quite old, and Tia was rather possessive of her food, so Bernice was put in charge of the forward outposts and the northern part near the prophet's camp.

As for the prophet's camp, they ignored it. The prophet was up to something, so they decided to deal with the spirit problem first, and then the three of them would work together to target the prophet.

Alexander! He wanted to go to the front line of the Great Icefield with Tia, but Tia persuaded him to go instead, and he was assigned to protect the Inquisitors of the Tribunal who were confronting the spirits on the front line.

Alexander raised an eyebrow slightly at the arrangement, but said nothing more.

Tia's advice was quite good for him, but the young saint was a bit too confident. However, it wasn't a major problem.

Saints each have their own strengths, and ultimately they cannot die.

If you don't die, it's not a big problem.

Anyway, Princess Katarina invited them here to buy time for a day or two—this Saint Sulph wouldn't just die suddenly on the Great Icefield in a day or two, would he?

Alexander thought it was unlikely.

Meanwhile, Tia used Hermes' spiritual energy to grow wings, soaring through the sky on the help of the cold wind, crossing the tundra of the Great Icefield, heading west.

More than 60 kilometers to the west lies the ice sheet zone, where there is almost no vegetation. The outermost layer is covered with moss covered by snow, and a little further in, there is only snowfield.

The court's defenses have long been in this area, with heavily armored judges in groups of three or five, totaling more than a hundred groups, using rituals such as law spells or watchtower spells to build towering watchtowers and self-regulating puppets here.

Often, each judge is accompanied by two teams of autonomous puppets, all of whom are armed with repeating firearms. Above the watchtower, there are puppets operating ballistae. The crossbow bolts, made entirely of sacred wood, are coated with a layer of gold in the center and inscribed with multiple rituals.

For every kilometer or two they advanced, each group of judges would leave behind a watchtower and at least a team of six self-disciplined puppets, thus continuously setting up camps and controlling the territory of the Great Icefield.

When Tia flew over the tundra, at least a hundred watchtowers were watching her simultaneously, with considerable firepower.

Tia estimated that if she didn't take any defensive measures, she would probably be shot by these ballistae and bleed to the ground.

Of course, it's hard to say if it's about proactive defense.

With a single burst of golden fire, she burned the crossbow bolts and the gold itself to the ground.

Fly over the tundra and you'll reach the vast ice plains.

Everything was pure white, like a sacred world.

Upon arriving at the Great Ice Plains, Tia immediately sensed powerful and chaotic spiritual fluctuations rising from all directions, the most familiar being the one from the northwest.

Tia and Holly have spent a lot of time together, so she knows Holly's big dog very well.

And this spiritual energy was almost identical to that of Holly's dog.

——【Fenrir without a soul】

This giant wolf was so beautiful that it looked like a stone sculpture meticulously carved by a master craftsman or a specimen painstakingly prepared by a biologist. It had smooth, glossy, ice-blue fur and a pure white spiral horn like that of a unicorn growing between its two erect ears.

The giant wolf suddenly raised its head, its fur flying wildly, and its tiny, jewel-like eyes looked arrogantly at the figure flying in from the sky.

But the beautiful and eye-catching giant beast's claws and teeth were covered in blood. Fenrir swallowed the flesh and blood in his mouth and pressed tightly against the Judge's corpse under his claws.

He does not enjoy devouring human flesh and blood; His tasting of flesh and blood stems more from His regret over losing his physical body.

After tasting the flavor of flesh and blood, He will freeze all His prey into ice sculptures, devour their spirituality, and then place the ice sculptures in His wolf den to admire.

Of course, this also includes the one in the sky, this exceptionally beautiful, perfect body, as if sculpted by the hand of the Father of all things.

“Avina…”

so perfect.

But He clearly remembered that Avina had no physical body.

“Avina Sulph, where did she get such good stuff... whatever, we've already broken ties anyway.”

Fenrir's wolf ears stood on end, and it licked its lower lip, its tail slowly sweeping through the snow. But before it could make a move against the "perfect thing" in the sky, streaks of blood-red spiritual energy rose from beneath its feet.

immediately.

Fenrir froze.

He was unable to move in front of "Avina".

wrong.

Fenrir slowly looked down.

His four legs, which were made of spiritual energy, were completely erased by the blood-red spiritual energy, which was still slowly eroding his spiritual structure. As soon as his spiritual body was erased, countless translucent silver chains rose up to form a spatial lock.

They chained Him up so that He could not move.

Chapter 523 The Silent Nun

Hermesian energy!

Space lock!

Hermes aura is something derived from Tia's "sublimation" element, and Tia can easily use Hermes aura to complete the transformation of her spiritual body.

It's just that without the blessing of the Law of Power, the spirit cannot be transformed into a human.

But if she wanted to, Tia could use Hermesian aura to transform any aura into a beautiful girl or anything she liked. As for the range of Hermesian aura's influence—it's 777 meters.

Within this range, combined with the spatial lock and her superb skills in dissecting hundreds of spirits, Tia possesses a special ability to attack spirits.

Hermes' spiritual energy rapidly dissolved and reshaped the spirit structure of the soulless giant wolf Fenrir, throwing the wolf into a state of panic.

"Sulph! I'll go to the Great Icefield with you! Stop fighting, I'll go to the Great Icefield with you!"

Tia didn't understand. "What do you mean, go to the Great Ice Plains?"

The giant wolf trembled, looked up at Tia for a moment, and exclaimed in shock, "You're not Sulph?! Who are you?"

Just now, He thought that Avina had somehow obtained a human body of Sequence 4 and was using it as a substitute.

As for spiritual fluctuations, Avina possesses a star map, and these spirits cannot perceive them at all; they can only judge by appearance. Therefore, just now, Avina directly mistook the girl in front of her for Avina.

But now, upon closer listening to his tone, I realized something was off.

The human in front of them seemed completely unaware that Avina had personally come to ask them to go to the Great Icefield, only to be met with a merciless jeer and forced to leave.

Of course they wouldn't agree to that!

Humanity's saints have been severely wounded and are now lying on the ground. The judges are now mere playthings in their hands, to be slowly tortured and their spirituality taken away.

Why would they go through all that trouble with Avina to risk their lives on the Great Icefield in search of the so-called "Star Chart of Destiny"?

Since the girl in front of me isn't Aviana, she must be human!

"Damn humans! How dare they deceive me with Avina's appearance!"

"What the heck? What happened to Avina?"

"Human! What else are you trying to fool me with Avina?!"

Fenrir, enraged, was about to break free of the spatial lock, but the lock tightened even more in the next moment, and the blood-red spiritual energy clung to him like a leech, impossible to dispel.

Tia reached out her hand in mid-air and gently clenched her slender, fair fingers.

A series of hissing, corrosive sounds rang out, and blood-red spiritual energy burst forth from the ground, enveloping Fenrir and instantly dissolving its spiritual structure, turning it into a solid, ice-blue ball of light, which was then firmly locked in by the spatial lock.

Tia set up a summoning ritual, summoning the sisters Brenna and Freya directly from the deep sea. She then added a Nightmare Entanglement spell, packed them into the deep sea, sank them into the temple, and fed them directly to Silver Door.

By sacrificing the Soulless Fenrir, I instantly gained a portion of the knowledge from the Book of Creation, approximately thirty pages, or 15%.

There's nothing we can do; this babbling giant wolf is too weak. It's only just reached the threshold of Sequence Four, and its spirituality is limited.

Including Tia, who has already mastered half of it, the progress is 65%. However, it is enough. The knowledge and experience have been infused into Tia's memory, and she has become much more familiar with the artificial human alchemy process, which she was not very proficient in before.

"But these spirits just can't tell me apart from Avina..."

Tia seemed to be deep in thought.

She and her sister Avina look very alike. If they were without makeup, they would look at least 90% the same, and their faces would be even more similar. The only differences are their body shape and height.

But their spiritual auras are completely different! Spirituality is dynamic, it moves around in a regular pattern, and you can tell at a glance.

—Unless, of course, the spirits don’t recognize Avina’s spiritual aura.

In any case, this is a good thing, and it's a good opportunity to put it to good use.

The girl then turned her gaze to the north, where the spiritual fluctuations of the spirits were reminiscent of the Holy Grail.

The Holy Grail—that is, the Silent Sisters of the ancient theocracy.

...........

The vast ice sheet, a silent monastery.

The Silent Sisters are the secret faith of nuns in ancient theocracy, and therefore they wear similar attire to the ancient nuns: black penitential robes and white tunics. Their gentle faces are tinged with a hint of determination, and their height of about 1.7 meters is quite different from other spiritual beings.

At the same time, He also wore a faded pale veil and a black headscarf—the white veil symbolized chastity, but this veil was not a normal white, but rather a faded color of some other color, slightly yellowish, which had the meaning of "breaking the vow" and "blasphemy".

Until fifteen years ago, before the Church, in conjunction with churches across the country, launched Operation "Saint Mary" to cleanse the air and breached His sanctuary, the "Silent Church," He had a considerable number of believers.

The believers were mostly nuns, who could also be called "absconders" or "fallen nuns".

Even in her depravity, the Silent Sister still possessed the qualities of the Holy Grail. She enjoyed building magnificent and sacred churches, and then committing wicked deeds within them. Since the believers were primarily nuns, these "wicked deeds" were very much in keeping with the style of the nuns of Anzu Convent...

At the same time, these "immoral acts" will not produce any offspring, but will give birth to a Holy Child in the Holy Grail of the Silent Sister—a spirit influenced by obscene desires, usually a strange and non-human spirit, which the Church calls "evil spirits".

The monastery on this desolate ice field was built by these evil spirits who collected ice blocks and piled them up to satisfy the nuns' desire to build a church.

On the frozen throne, the nun had already noticed Avina's arrival from afar. A demonic spirit that looked like a raccoon was meowing and pulling on Tia's boots, inviting her to the sanctuary.

Tia squinted slightly as she looked at the spirit on the throne.

Its overall soul strength is close to that of a Sequence 3 character, and it has a lot of curses. It is estimated that it was seriously injured in the fight with Merlin, and its soul was also damaged.

However, it is still at the strength of Sequence 3, making it difficult to deal with.

The Silent Sister smiled gently and softly, her beautiful face radiating warmth. "Sulph! Daughter of Pisces! Why have you returned again? Have you come to persuade me, or do you wish to immerse yourself in my gentle embrace?"

"If it's the latter, I might consider it. Merlin of Winderston is nearly driven to death by my spirituality. Once he dies, I can use that spirituality to regain my power and reclaim my sanctuary from Patriarch Julian. Queen Hera of the High Lords' Council has already agreed to join forces with me—"

"Huh? How come you have the affinity with the Holy Grail? And what's with this new body of yours?"

The Silent Sister didn't remember Avina having this trait, but she didn't think much of it; that's how prophets are—always hiding their true intentions.

When Tia heard that there was also the Fairy Queen, she was immediately satisfied.

She thought she would have to make two trips.

The nun sniffed the air, licked her lips, and said, "Looks like you killed that wolf."

Tia feigned, "A disobedient sheepdog, so be it. But I don't intend to stay with you, Sister."

"I'm not as easy to mess with as that wolf."

The nun's tone gradually turned cold.

Tia said, "Although I didn't intend to stay with you, I came here to ask for your help."

"help?"

"I'll give you a secret manual; you help me mobilize my clan to find the prophet's location."
