Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Tia casually probed.

The nun narrowed her eyes and said, "I don't need any of your secret manuals. Besides, what difference does it make if I go with you to the Great Ice Plains to deal with Dongya Bahram, who is hiding his whereabouts and setting up the projection ritual?"

Ah...

It actually got on.

“It’s a translation of the esoteric text—and a sanctuary. I can give you all of that.”

"The Sanctuary?!"

Swoosh!

It was as if a tremendous force pressed down on Tia's shoulders from behind, suddenly lifting her up, and in the blink of an eye she was more than half a meter away from the nun's throne.

The nun exclaimed excitedly, "You actually had a trump card up your sleeve, and you're only revealing it now. You were planning to use the Secret Codex and the Sanctuary to ascend to sainthood after you obtained a physical body, right? Now that you've already obtained a physical body, you're still willing to give up the Sanctuary to me. It seems you've truly been driven to the brink by that great prophet."

"Tell me, where is the Sanctuary?! Tell me now!"

Chapter 524 Instant Refinement

Tia's words immediately attracted the attention of the Silent Sisters.

A sanctuary! This is something we could never ask for, especially for the Silent Sisters who have lost their sanctuary.

Tia knew about the false goddess, the Sister of Silence—she had clashed with the Sister of Silence's followers before, on the night of the Eleanor's curse removal ceremony, when two fallen nuns broke into the Mercury house.

Therefore, Tia knew very well what the nun needed.

—Sanctuary.

Only by obtaining the Sanctuary could she more easily spread her influence to the material world, rebuild the cult, create faith, and finally clash with those old men on the Holy Mountain of the Theocracy.

Sister Silent was well aware of Avina's predicament. She had visited the Silent Abbey a few hours earlier, asking the nuns to follow her to the Great Icefield to share in the prophet's "feast."

Who would forgo immediate, lucrative gains to pursue something elusive? Besides, prophets are not easy to deal with.

However, if it's just about mobilizing the Familia...

The nun paused for a moment, then rose from her throne and said to Tia, "Avina! I must say, what you said is indeed intriguing. However, I must see the Sanctuary first."

Tia said, "Okay."

The nun pressed her fingers to Tia's forehead and said with a smile, "To go to the deep sea through my ritual, Avina. You are a chosen one of destiny; it would be very easy for you to deceive me. I do not trust you now."

"What ceremony?"

"You're trying to negotiate with me? Avina! You have no choice now!"

The nun suddenly raised her hand and pressed it against Tia's forehead, saying in a low voice, "Avina Sulph. You used to be so clever, how come you've lost your mind and come to me alone? Do you think you can negotiate with a real god just because you have that ridiculous dragon?"

"Or are you referring to the power of the deity you disguised yourself with using the star map? Do you think I don't know, even if others don't? You, the thief who stole the star map and fled into the deep sea, are actually just a fledgling Sequence Four human, aren't you?"

“I don’t need your consent, nor do I need your answer. When you enter my monastery, your sanctuary will belong to me—I couldn’t catch you before because of the star chart of fate, did you think that now that you are within my grasp, and our destinies are already entangled, I still can’t catch you?”

"Come with me to the deep sea!"

quack quack!

quack quack!

In an instant, countless silver-white crows took flight from the figure behind the nun, their hideous blood-red pupils gleaming. Centered on the nun, they crashed into her from all sides, creating a bloody mess.

It's exactly right, it's an inverted pentagram.

At the very center of the pentagram, where Tia stood, rows of holy, ice-blue thorns rose from the ground, binding her body.

Instantly, the nun sensed that Tia's soul was being stirred by her, and the corners of her mouth, hidden behind her veil, immediately turned up.

How dare she come right up to me! It seems that Dongya Bahram has really driven her to the point where she has no choice but to take a desperate gamble.

But it's all for the best. Since we're all going to die anyway, what difference does it make who kills us? Maybe we can even live as a member of her household.

Having captured "Aviana," the first step is to control the Sanctuary. Then, not only the Sanctuary, but also the Destiny Star Chart might be targeted. Aviana can then be kept in the Sanctuary as a pet canary for our amusement.

This is precisely the concept of the Holy Grail's protection.

The nun pulled at the soul of "Avina Sulph" before her, and suddenly she sank!

The sound of a heavy object falling into the water was heard with a "plop".

The deep sea water was dark and viscous, mixed with the unique fishy smell of seawater, and instantly spread in front of the nun.

Tia's eyes had just betrayed a hint of panic.

The conversation has calmed down now.

She hadn't forgotten why she was there. As the Silent Sister pulled her down, the sister lifted her chin and pressed her for an answer: "Sulph, now tell me, where is the Sanctuary?"

"Spirits are so easy to fool. Is it true that having your brain controlled by emotions makes you so susceptible to being deceived?"

"what?"

"Once you reach the deep sea, some things are no longer up to you."

Tia soaked in the seawater for a while, slowly releasing her suppressed spiritual energy, and in an instant broke free from the thorny vines' restraints.

This spiritual fluctuation caused the nun to quickly end the ritual, and with the help of its power, she wanted to return to the material world!

This fluctuation!

It's definitely Sequence Three! And it's a Sequence Three of a human saint!

It's not a spirit, and it's definitely not Aviana!

Just as the nun was about to return to the material world, she suddenly felt a black snake coil around her neck and bite down hard, and an invisible force pulled her down.

They wanted to remove it, but this was not the ritual of Avina, a Sequence Four, but the power of Tia Sulph, a Sequence Three. It could not be so easily removed by a purification ritual or covered by the power of the Ouroboros.

Nightmares haunt me.

Pulling the nun down 70,000 meters, Little Red, who had been waiting around the upside-down temple for a long time, couldn't wait any longer and rushed over, pushing aside the endless seawater and shrinking it countless times.

When it ran to the nun's side, its open mouth was just the size of the nun's head. It took a bite, and crimson spiritual blood was still flowing from the corner of its mouth, mixed with Little Red's fur and indistinguishable.

Click!

The nun instantly transformed into a headless corpse, with only her limbs still flailing. Her nipples became eyes, and her navel became a mouth. She exclaimed in shock, "You're not Sulph!"

Tia said, "I am Sulph."

Four shimmering white ropes flew out from the temple, instantly binding the nun's limbs. She was first torn apart by various spirits, which weakened her spirituality, and then suddenly pulled by Tia, crashing into the sanctuary and feeding her to Silver Door.

The knowledge from the Book of Creation increased by 40% and was all poured into Tia's mind. Silver Door was delighted and even gave Tia a lot of secrets about androids as a bonus.

Even with that, there was still quite a bit left, so Tia stuffed another 70% of the knowledge from the Book of Balance into her mind.

Tia had only skimmed through the Book of Balance. Some of the knowledge involved the efficiency of the transformation between spirit and body, but it wasn't a core issue, and she didn't plan to address it immediately.

But I never expected these high-sequence spirits to be so fat.

I ordered it on a whim.

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

Return to the material world.

On the vast ice plains, the Silent Monastery was completely silent. The numerous evil spirits froze instantly, realizing that the contract ritual on their bodies had disappeared, and they didn't even have time to rejoice.

The girl sitting on the frozen throne opened her eyes and was somewhat surprised to see a group of evil spirits.

Why didn't that clan die along with Sister Silent?!

Just as she was contemplating using a golden fire to instantly purify the entire Silent Monastery, a clever evil spirit sensed that something was amiss.

Holy See, Holy See, Holy See, come out and save us!

"All living beings walk in darkness, entangled in the snares of evil, like sheep falling into the lion's mouth, with no one to save them! At that time, our Lord Avina Sulph looked down from the heavens and saw the great fire of hell, and she felt compassion."

“Behold, she stretches out her mighty arm and delivers us from the valley of the shadow of death; she clothes us with it and crowns us with glory; she breaks down the gates of the abyss and snaps the staff of the evil one; she makes the demons tremble in the light with righteousness as her shield!”

"All who look to her will not be put to shame, for she has redeemed our lives and delivered us from the deadly death to eternal rest!"

Regardless of whether they had legs or not, they all fell down and shouted, "My lord Avina Sulph! My lord Avina Sulph!"

Tia: "......."

That's a bit too anthropomorphic.

Several more owl-shaped evil spirits rushed into the monastery, shouting, "Holy See! The Fairy Queen of the High Lords Council has arrived, and she wants to discuss the matter of Grand Chancellor Merlin with you!"

As soon as they flew into the altar, a voice came from the darkness: "What happened to Grand Chancellor Merlin?"

"Coo coo! Merlin seems to have come back to life! The Fairy Queen said that with Palam gone, there's no one to lead, and Merlin is also a threat. She's about to order you, King Fenrir, the two archangels, and Lord Balrog to attack human cities!"

"Hmm? Where is the Holy See?"

Chapter 525 Total Annihilation

"Holy Throne? I am the Holy Throne now!"

Tia sat calmly on the frozen throne, pointing at the group of evil spirits, while blood-red Hermes aura rose from the ice blocks.

In the blink of an eye, all the crooked and ugly evil spirits became handsome and refined. Lions walked with oxen, wild donkeys danced with wolves, eagles, doves, swallows, and white cranes circled the monastery's pool, and antelopes and deer leaped before the throne.

Even the insects on the ground, such as ants and bees, have become harmless. They cultivate icicles into crystal flowers, and collect nectar from them. The crystal flowers are then poured into the pool to melt and spread a milky white color, filling the entire monastery with the aroma of milk and honey.

The few owl spirits that had just returned from afar were completely dumbfounded.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the Silent Sisters and their covenant rituals were no longer in effect!

Tia patted the throne and lifted her bottom slightly—the shabby chair was so cold it hurt her bottom.

He then asked, "The Fairy Queen plans to attack Eternal Night Castle with the Balrog and two angels? Is she out of her mind?"

Tia didn't understand.

The Fairy Queen knew some things from Judge Charles.

This is the secret faith of the dwarves of the Highland Tribal Kingdom, but it is not a monotheistic religious organization. Most dwarves do not worship the Fairy Queen, but rather worship hundreds of "Highland Fairy Lords"—the so-called "High Lords"—and their various fairy worship practices.

Each Highland Fairy Lord possesses power ranging from Sequence Seven to Sequence Four, and is extremely warlike, constantly fighting and vying for supremacy. The Fairy Queen is the strongest among the Highland Lords, and has long been regarded as the second faith by the Highland Dwarf tribes.

Of course, the dwarves didn't worship these goblins to pray for entry into heaven or anything like that. Rather, they worshipped these bloodthirsty goblins as free cannon fodder mercenaries for the theocracy, regularly plundering their territory along the coast...

Tia suspected that the fairy queen had developed a path dependency from exploiting the tribes in the mountains.

The owl cried out in alarm, "Coo-coo! Coo-coo! It seems so!"

Tia then asked, "What about the Balrog?"

“Holy See! I don’t know! The Great Leader of the Balrog is a goat, a very bad-tempered goat, who often eats our clan.”

Tia nodded and said, "I like goats."

There are differences between sheep.

Sheep are gentle and obedient, while goats have horns and are quick-tempered. Therefore, goats are generally portrayed as villains in children's fairy tales, unlike sheep, which are often depicted as succubi. For example, some church scriptures mention that goats play reed flutes in the mountains to lure beautiful young men and women into their traps, then pierce their hearts and eat them.

Sheep are different. Those who vehemently denounce sheep as demons are usually sailors...

Tia was not interested in falling into the goat's trap.

But goat meat is delicious.

Ok.

Two industrial angels, a mutton roll flaming demon, and a bloodthirsty fairy queen.

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

On the other side, north of the Silent Monastery, lies the border between the Arctic and Ice Age.

Icebergs rise in layers, but in the valley surrounded by several icebergs, hot air is rising into the sky. As far as the eye can see, reddish-white lava is overflowing everywhere, almost forming a lake.

A ram-headed, ram-horned fire demon was soaking in the lava lake. Its muscles were bulging all over its body, its upper body was naked and dark red, and its blood-red eyes were staring at the fairies around it who were panting heavily with their tongues sticking out.

Each fairy was only the size of a finger, wielding a weapon the size of a toothpick, and had three pairs of transparent wings. They kept breathing out:

"Galka the Flame Demon! I told you not to hold meetings in a place like this! If you hold another meeting here, I'll kill you!"

"You idiot Uta, you can't even beat a bishop, you can't possibly beat a fire demon..."

"I'll kill you first! You gossipy vixen, you son of a bitch!"
