Miss Witch's Speed ​​Run Manual

"Thank you for the reminder," Ciel said calmly after listening to Julis's description. He then continued, "Do you know the correct ritual?"

Seeing that the girl had not given up the idea, Julis stopped trying to persuade her. This was Charles's choice of her own will. Whether from a personal perspective or from the church's principles, Julis had no right to interfere.

"As for the ritual, I have the correct and complete one." Julis said calmly, facing Ciel, her tone becoming more solemn. "But the prerequisite is that you need to join the Church of the Goddess of Savior. Otherwise, I cannot teach you the complete ritual."

"Huh?" Charles felt a little guilty after hearing what Julis said.

Believe in religion? To be honest, after knowing the existence of supernatural powers, Ciel no longer doubted the existence of the goddess, but because of this, she was even more hesitant to believe in religion casually.

Because she had no faith in the Savior Goddess Church in her heart, let alone worshiping a god. Just five minutes ago, she had taken two coins from the goddess.

If my heart is not sincere, the goddess will not bring down any punishment on me, right?

"Do you have any questions?" Seeing Charles silent, Julis asked.

"But I know nothing about the Church of the Savior Goddess... I only took a quick glance at its doctrines and scriptures two years ago." Charles' tone was quite tactful.

Julis was a little confused about what Ciel was thinking, so she said directly:

“Most people know nothing before they join the church.”

"You can learn those later. You just need to ensure that your code of conduct conforms to the teachings of the Savior Goddess. 'Faith without action is dead.' Do one good deed a day, starting with small things, and you will gradually experience the grace of the Savior Goddess."

"As long as your actions do not violate the teachings, the goddess' salvation will follow you."

Meaning...

It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, as long as you don’t break the rules?

Charles had always thought that the churches here were all justified by faith, but he didn't realize that the situation of each church was different. The Church of the Savior Goddess in front of him was obviously justified by works.

It's a bit like a gentleman judging by deeds rather than intentions.

If that's the case, then it's fine. As long as you don't violate the dogma, you don't have to worry about divine punishment or anything like that.

"Okay, I believe it." Charles nodded and asked, "Do you need baptism or something?"

"I can baptize you." Julis was also slightly excited.

The girl in front of him is very likely to be the future saint, and he becomes the saint's guide, which is sacred and exciting for any believer.

The baptism process of the Savior Goddess Cult is not complicated, and may even be a little too simple.

Because most of the believers of the Savior Goddess Church are poor people and cannot read or write, the scriptures required for baptism are usually read in full by church members. The person being baptized only needs to place his right hand on his chest and wait silently for the other party to finish reading.

After listening to the sutra for about five minutes, when Charles was almost falling asleep with his eyes closed, Julis pointed her finger at Charles' forehead, declaring the baptism complete.

From now on, Charles is considered a member of the Savior Goddess Cult, of course, only in this simulation.

Anyway, it doesn’t cost any money, just have some faith.

"Take this emblem. It temporarily symbolizes your identity." After the baptism, Julis reached into her robe and took out a semicircular emblem, carefully pinning it on Charles' cloak.

"Hmm..." Although Ciel wanted to say something, he thought for a long time and could only ask, "What is the process of the ceremony?"

"The branch of the Church with the fewest people is the Inquisition, because the conditions for the 'Avenger' ritual are extremely demanding," Julis said slowly as she recalled the necessary preparations for the ritual. "So far, the highest success rate for reproducing the process requires three things."

"The enemy of one's 'friend of life', a desperate counterattack at the moment of death, and the fire that purifies the old body to burn everything, and be reborn in the fire."

"Simply put, the ideal way to collect all these things is to achieve revenge in a battle with your enemy while on the verge of death, and then take the potion in the flames."

"This is a dynamic scenario that not everyone encounters. That's why the Inquisition has so few talented individuals and rarely encounters ordinary people suitable for taking potions."

"If you don't mind, I can take you back to the Church of Anzu. They will then help you build the reproduction ritual step by step..."

and many more?

"Wait, what is 'Friends of Life'?"

Charles interrupted Julis as she was about to continue trying to lure him back to the Vatican.

The more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Killing the enemy with your own hands when you are on the verge of death...

Isn’t this what I did in the last simulation?

Now, she just had to decide what a friend of life was.

"It's a nickname, referring to the most important person or thing in your life, the one you have the strongest feelings for. It can be a family member or friend, or an object you cherish as if it were your life," Julis explained.

She was a little confused as to why Ciel interrupted her.

"What if, I mean what if," Charles asked seriously, looking at Julis's face, "what if I have already done what is in these rituals?"

Julis: “Huh?”

What Julis didn't know was that among Charles's nine true and one false lies, there was one that she would never have thought was a lie.

That is, it was not Thomas and Solari who were killed by Julis belatedly.

But it was Charles himself.

In a desperate situation with no chance of survival, he killed his enemies and the person behind the scenes with his own hands.

Chapter 16 Avenger Ciel’s… Character Archive?

"Strictly speaking, as long as you have experienced any part of the recurrence ritual in your life, you have completed part of this ritual."

Julis shook her head and continued, "But generally speaking, most people would reschedule the recurrence ceremony, which is always safer..."

Reschedule?

Ciel couldn't wait that long, she could only stay in the simulation for 24 hours.

Since she had accidentally completed the revenge ritual, she certainly couldn't miss the opportunity to drink the potion in the simulation and become a superhuman.

In this way, even if you don't get any high rewards, you can still gain some experience for your real-life promotion to extraordinary status.

"I think the current situation is very good," Ciel said, looking at the potion floating behind Julis. "I am sure that I have completed all the conditions except for ignition."

No lie...

Julis felt the hairs on her back stand up.

The girl was clearly saying some outrageous things, but I didn't sense any lies in her words at all.

Had she truly experienced the Avengers' reappearance ritual? How old was she now? And she had already killed her enemies with her own hands, even when her life was hanging by a thread?

Yuris didn't understand, but was deeply shocked.

Maybe this is the quasi-saint...

"Just in case," Julis asked, "are those two people inside your enemies?"

Julis was referring to the two people kneeling on the ground. They stared at Charles with their eyes wide open, but their bodies were unable to move, and even their mouths could not utter a scream.

"Yes." Charles nodded.

"Okay..." Julis nodded.

The black mist-like potion slowly floated to Ciel's hand, while Julis retreated outside the tavern.

Charles turned to look in the direction of Julis, and could only see the black gravel floor behind her, which began to be dragged out with indentations. Soon, a semicircular circle, like the seal of a church, enveloped the tavern.

"When they are about to lose consciousness in the fire, drink the potion and kill them." Julis instructed from outside the door.

She didn't want the quasi-saint to fail in her promotion after baptizing her. She would try her best to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony and isolate the ceremony from the impact on other ordinary people.

Charles nodded, turned around and looked at the two men kneeling on the ground, and watched the kerosene lamps in the tavern float up little by little and surround Charles.

"call--"

The kerosene lamp exploded, and the scattered flames formed a circle of fire around Charles.

The circle of fire also included the two people kneeling on the ground.

The fire ring ignited the wooden floor, and then the fire quickly spread along with the kerosene, burning the bar and all the wooden furniture in the pub.

Thick smoke and heat waves covered Charles, and her hair gradually became curled and deformed under the scorching heat.

After inhaling a large amount of thick smoke into her lungs, Charles couldn't stop coughing. Her skirt was already on fire, and the cloak behind her was also stuck to the flames.

In a little while, I will pass out in there...

She walked forward slowly, holding the already hot revolver in her right hand. Charles slowly raised the muzzle and aimed it at the two figures kneeling in front of her.

"Boom-boom-"

Two bullets accurately pierced their foreheads. The two figures lost all support, collapsed, and were engulfed by flames.

Charles reached out and touched the translucent reagent containing the potion, slowly pulled out the special wooden cork on it, and put the reagent bottle to his mouth.

The black mist in the reagent quickly emerged, like a black elf, and rushed directly to Charles' feet.

Where's the potion?

"Boom-"

The old wooden beams finally couldn't withstand the scorching heat of the fire and broke and fell down, but when they were about to hit Charles, they broke into two pieces and rolled to the side.

At this moment, the flames, the corpses, everything seemed to disappear into the distance, and in her mind, several images flashed quickly like slides.

The scene of Lizzie's tragic death at the doorstep, the cake on the ground mixed with dirty water, the white cream intertwined with the black gravel ground;

With the muzzle of a gun against his forehead, he voluntarily gave up his life for the first time rather than let the other party's ritual succeed;

The dimly lit tavern, Solari lying dead beside him, a distorted illusion, and an indescribable figure in black robes slowly approaching him...

The sound of gunfire in the picture is still ringing in my ears. Charles, who had reversed death, chopped off Thomas's head one by one like a zombie.

Evil fire and malice began to spread in Charles' chest, and the uncontrollable feeling of joy made the scene in front of him begin to tear apart, just like the satisfaction of revenge.

The fire in his heart, along with the fire outside, ignited Charles.

A raging fire burned in her heart, fueled by the seemingly endless hatred and anger in her heart. Under the illumination of this fire, Sharna's shadow, which swayed and flickered with the flames, began to twitch.

The black afterimage broke free from its restraints, and the edge of its body continued to dissipate upwards like mist, as if a black flame was burning.

It supported itself on the floor and slowly climbed up behind Charles, its long black hair like smoke fluttering behind it.

It slowly opened its eyes, and white light flowed in its eyes as it moved, like the silhouette of a burning Charles, staring at everyone in front of it with creepy eyes.

"thump--"

A strong feeling of dizziness came over him, and Charles fell straight backwards, hitting the burning charcoal behind him.

"what......"

The black shadow burning in the flames breathed heavily and slowly looked in the direction of Charles. Then it bent down, grabbed Charles's burning red hair, and dragged Charles backwards step by step, walking out of the tavern.

Julis had been standing behind the door, observing the situation. However, the moment she saw the dark figure in her empty vision, she became nervous.

Failure or success depends on this one move.

Once the shadow begins to attack the host, Julis will instantly strike and directly destroy the ritual.

Fortunately, she saw a black shadow holding something upside down, walking out of the sea of ​​fire little by little, and then disintegrating and disappearing.

She quickly stepped forward, took off her white robe and covered Charles with it, wrapping up her body that was almost burned to charcoal and putting out the remaining flames.

"She's definitely a saint..."

Julis faced Charles in her arms, lowered her head, and rested her forehead against Charles's.

Green smoke began to rise slowly from Julis's neck, and the back of her exposed right hand was being burned into charcoal bit by bit.

"Don't be afraid...it doesn't hurt anymore...I'll take you back to the Vatican now..."

Julis quickly disappeared into the night with Charles in her arms. A white shadow lingered around her, leaving only the burning tavern behind her.

......
