Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Compared to starting the fire, going to the Cathedral of Our Lady, and completing the ordination ceremony, there is a bigger discovery here.

When Lawrence is completely dead——

Her upside-down temple moved.

Volume 1: Chapter 25: Ritual: Tracking and Rescuing

If there was a tragically thick barrier between reality and the temple, one had to dive deep to enter, then returning to the temple in the midst of a nightmare was like returning home to Tia.

Last night when Tia was sleeping, she was pulled into the inverted temple to continue playing bondage play. She just closed her eyes and it came in.

She closed her eyes and easily arrived at the temple without any need for the diving ritual.

Now there were three more lit candles on her altar, and the candlelight formed a circle, in which was the image of Lawrence.

As Tia looked over, the three holy candles went out one after another, leaving only three balls of light on the candles.

At this moment, a light screen appeared in front of her eyes.

[Sacrifice: Spirituality]

[Source: Gru Lawrence (Nightmare)]

[Path: Unsheathed Blade]

[Level: Sequence 9]

[——Offer a sacrifice, choose one of the three]

Thorns on Back (Single-Use/Unsheathed Blade 7): Your back is covered in thorns, causing excruciating pain. Attackers below Sequence 7 who attack you from behind will suffer double the damage.

[Cursed Bullet (Disposable/Unsheathed Blade 7)] Your shoulder blade is cursed, and your left arm cannot be used. The first attack against you in battle is considered invalid, and the attacker gains the 7th level of the "Rotten Curse."

[Tracking and Reaping (One-time/Unsheathed Blade 7)] Your actions must cause the death of a living being, otherwise you will gain the Sequence 7 Blindness Curse. Conceive the target in your mind. If the target is within a 50km diameter, a controllable Sequence 7 spirit creature will be created around the target. This spirit creature will last for 24 hours.

These rituals are more like "props" than knowledge, disposable items that are burned after use.

Of course, the advantage is that it requires no ingredients and can be eaten right out of the package.

Following the principle of choosing the longest of two short and one long, Tia directly chose the one with the longest description, "Tracing and Rescuing."

The next step is to move to the Cathedral of Our Lady. There is no need to worry about safety issues. What she lacks most now is an offensive ceremony.

The ritual of tracking down and taking the blame is just right.

After completing the ceremony, Tia heard Vera's voice in her ears. She immediately opened her eyes and walked out of the Hanging Temple.

Vera patted Tia's shoulders twice and reminded her, "Get ready to go downstairs. The Knights of the Guardian are coming. We need to leave quickly. I heard from those knights that a cultist stronghold was found on a street to the north, and they plan to bomb and clear it out."

Tia followed Vera downstairs, elbowed her arm twice, and asked, "Antonio's gang?"

"Who knows? My teacher never told me in class that there were any cultists during the New York fire!"

"There are so many unexpected things. The police station also engages in smuggling."

"real or fake?"

"Where do you think all those large-caliber weapons on the black market come from? How does a small police officer earn seven or eight pounds a month to support his family?"

Walking downstairs, Vera was surprised and asked, "No one has checked this?"

Tia laughed and said, "Smugglers have to pay tribute to the sheriff. The sheriffs have to give gifts to the chief every year. The sheriffs protect the police officers, the chiefs protect the sheriffs, the Grand Police Department protects the chiefs, and the royal family protects the Grand Police Department. Who do you think will investigate?"

Vera didn't expect the relationship to be so complicated, and walked to the first floor of the hotel in amazement.

Outside the door, a tall armored knight was handing over the goods to Scarlett, while the innkeeper was spitting and gesticulating as he told the knight about the tragedy upstairs.

Scarlett told the knight that "Sophia" and "Daphne" were helpers commissioned by the deceased sheriff (Alexi), and Miss Sophia had worked in the Defense Bureau of the Northwestern Counties.

The store manager was much more radical. He said that these three people were actually complete demons, devils that did not belong to this world, and they could cast magic. They killed four people at once. They must have some hidden secret. Maybe they came here to destroy Newlon Port. It was terrible!

Mr. Knight was obviously not one to listen to one side of the story. After taking into account the opinions of Scarlett, the hotel guests, and the owner, he went upstairs to examine the body and came back to pay his respects to the three people.

"They are indeed fugitive suspects from the Black Flame Gang. We've been tracking them for a long time, but we didn't expect to be captured here by three of you. May I ask who these two brave ladies are..."

"Sophia, this is my sister Daphne."

Tia pulled Vera over and gave the Knight of the Crusade a brief explanation, then asked Scarlett to take little Vera down.

The Knight of the Guardian couldn't help but ask, "Who is this child?"

Tia said, "We've been infected with the blood disease and we need the help of the Holy Church. I heard that Bishop Cansus is in the cathedral and we need his help."

"Infected with septicemia?! My Lord, how long has this infection been going on?"

"More than a day."

Although she was wearing a visor, Tia could still sense that the knight must be very surprised. She just heard a bang from the steel jaw.

The Knight of the Guardian was shocked and said, "How did you manage to survive after being infected for two days?"

After saying that, he was about to open the mobile medical station on the side to give little Vera medicine.

Tia said, "I used the holy blood in the cup to give it a simple treatment, but this level of treatment probably can't cure it completely. Fortunately, the disease was delayed. But my sister, Miss Scarlett, and Little Vera all had close contact with it."

The Knight of the Church also noticed the scars on Tia's palm and the scratches on the back of Vera's hand, and he immediately admired her. "You are a great warrior and a great mother. Salute to you, Lady Sophia! Please tell me the child's name so that the priests of the cathedral can register it."

Tia narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I think so too. She is my child, Elvira Salvia."

Vera:......

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

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

Half an hour later, the Holy Church's carriage stopped outside the hotel. The carriage was made of processed holy wood and had a faint scent of citrus and mint.

The carriage was driven by a young nun in her early twenties, wearing armor and holding a sword, holding the reins.

When she saw the few people, the nun's sharp eyes swept across the faces of the three people.

Tia had heard that the nuns in the church had the superpower to distinguish between good and evil, and could tell at a glance what the hearts of the believers attending mass in the chapel were like. When she was seen by the nun just now, she felt that the nun was not very friendly to her.

But the nun glanced at the child in Tia's arms, her eyes softened, and she said, "Please get in the car. I will help you get to the cathedral."

After getting on the carriage, the nun raised her whip to urge the horses on.

In the car, Tia asked casually, "Sister, I want to know what happened to the gang that hunted Miss Scarlett. I heard her say that there seemed to be someone behind the gang. And the knights also mentioned that they had found a cultist's lair?"

Scarlett immediately sat up straight and said, "Yes, that's the case!"

"I'm sorry, everyone," the nun said. "I'm only a novice. Perhaps Bishop Cansus knows something. Why don't you wait and ask him?"

"Thank you for your answer."

Tia replied obediently, gave Scarlett a look, and then made a long cross on her chest.

——Take shelter from me.

Scarlett held the scabbard, even though she had no idea what Miss Sulph was going to do by suddenly asking her to help at this time, but since it was the order from her superior, she had to obey.

But the next moment, Tia closed her eyes.

The slender, white middle finger moved slightly, and black and purple lines spread out in the middle of the fingertip, and a black inverted cross symbol appeared and wrapped around the fingertip.

——Ritual·Tracing and taking life.

Volume 1: Chapter 26: Rivers of Blood

Tia closed her eyes and silently chanted the name of Phoenix Tail Flower. After the ritual began, Tia's gaze continued to rise, overlooking the entire Newlon Harbor from an eagle's perspective.

The entire huge city came into view. In the northeast of Newlon Port, a chemical factory in the North Port area was flashing with red light.

According to Xunshunshenshen’s introduction, this red light is where the enemy is.

Immediately, the view zoomed in rapidly, passing through towering skyscrapers and densely packed residential areas, and reaching the outer wall of the chemical plant covered with green vines.

There was an unstable shadow outside the wall. With a "click", a milky white claw tore the shadow apart.

At this moment, Tia's perspective has become that of the "spiritual creature" summoned by the ritual.

The so-called "spiritual creature" was even more disgusting than Tia had imagined. It looked like a white ball of flesh with sharp claws, eyes on its chest, and a cracked belly that seemed to be filled with big-bellied female flies in labor, and densely packed white matter wriggling inside.

However, the thriving vitality within its body and the sharp claws that could easily tear through steel proved that this thing was indeed a Sequence 7 extraordinary creature.

Tia stretched out her claws and scratched the iron fence - it was like a hot knife cutting into butter, enjoying the silky smoothness.

If Canaan Ogre had faced this kind of creature instead of Tia that day, even if he tried his best, it would probably be useless.

She looked ahead, her eyes passing directly through the brick exterior and the factory building. A ball of red flame was shining brightly in an office behind the factory building, and a human figure could be vaguely seen in the flame.

next second.

The white ball of flesh ignored the wall's obstruction, passed through the wall directly, and rushed towards the fire at an extremely fast speed.

At this time, Tia was running rapidly in the air, getting faster and faster!

There were sentries and guards guarding the factory along the way. At first, a flash of white light could be seen, but soon even that disappeared. As the ball of flesh streaked through the air like a cannonball, the air around Tia grew hazy.

In the office, Fennel was dressed much the same as he had been during the Stone Table meeting, still wearing a hat with peacock feathers. Now, he was dressed in a slim, well-tailored suit, sitting upright in a chair, holding a book. His eyes were gentle and slightly smiling, like a gentleman from the Iris Kingdom, easily recognizable.

Next to him was a boy in a black robe who said respectfully, "Sir, 'Holy Bell' Canses is almost here. Bishop Antonio requests that you evacuate the North Port area."

The gentleman flipped through a popular novel and chuckled, "Don't worry. Bishop Cansus is in dire straits right now. I'll stay a while and tell Antonio I need to go to the Cathedral of Our Lady."

The boy lowered his head and said, "Bishop Antonio said he would come to see you later. You can talk to him in person."

"Very good, go out. Oh, and remember to bring me some popular novels."

"I'll go right away."

The boy pushed the door open and walked out. Not long after he left, a gust of cold wind blew past.

The gentleman frowned and said, "The door is not closed?"

"Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff~"

A series of inexplicable noises came from behind. Behind Ferntail Flower, the ball of flesh rolled a few times, stretched out its claws, and the mass of maggots in its stomach squeezed and exploded, making a sticky, indistinct sound.

　When Fengweihua heard the sound, she thought it was Antonio at first, so she reached out to pick up the teapot and poured a cup of black tea.

"Antonio, my three friends should be..."

When he handed the tea to the ball of flesh, the tiny, sharp claws took the teacup and gently squeezed it, causing it to shatter with a snap. Fernsel's face froze.

Spiritual creature?!

He had considered that the three surviving newcomers would come to attack him, and he had also considered that according to the normal course of history, the Knights of the Church would wipe out this evil cult stronghold. He even considered that Antonio would be angry with him and kill him.

——But no matter what, he never expected that the one coming to kill him was actually a spiritual creature!

Normal spirits live in the deep sea, below 5000 meters deep. But the water in this nightmare is very shallow. Where do these spirits come from?!

Tia rushed forward suddenly!

With a loud bang, the phoenix flower was like a kite with a broken string, and was hit against the wall by the sudden impact force.

Before he could say the next word, Tia stretched out her claws and slashed his throat with one claw.

The hot blood splashed in the air.

In just one minute, there was only one body left on the ground.

[River of Blood: Kill other ritual participants, points +100]

Call ~

Finished!

The last threatening one has been eliminated, so there will be absolutely no problem with the promotion ceremony.

Tia has not yet taken the initiative to cancel the ceremony. She still has a task to do - to set fire to the cargo ship docked in the Grand Harbor area.

Although the "Survey and Reaper" ritual ended after killing the target group, the summoned spirit creatures were still controllable. She had 24 hours to ignite the freighter and start a fire.

The whole procedure is divided into two steps.

The carriage would take at least 30 minutes to travel from the hotel in Beigang District to the Cathedral of Our Lady in Dagang Bay District, based on the speed of the previous ten minutes. Fifteen minutes had already passed, and she had fifteen minutes left to complete Step One: locate the freighter and return to her body.

When they arrived at the Cathedral of Our Lady, Bishop Cansus cured little Vera, and Vera's several tasks were also completed.

Then comes step two: controlling the spiritual creatures to directly ignite the fire.

As for the main quest "Survive Three Days," don't worry too much. The heaviest damage in the Nuremberg fire was concentrated in the port and surrounding factories. Notre Dame Cathedral itself, being far from the port, was relatively unaffected.
