The saintess I possessed had a head full of nonsense.

Formal Attire: Black Graduation Gown

"As you wish"

"Everyone is here, Scholar Bella. What on earth happened that you summoned us to convene the Tower Meeting at the highest level?"

Inside the hall of knowledge, the round table was already densely packed with renowned scholars.

As one of the scholars spoke, all eyes turned to Bella and the man beside her.

Lord of the Tower!

This is a heavyweight figure. In the world of sorcerers, across the three kingdoms and nine cities, there are only 12 Tower Lords, each of whom is a top-tier figure in the world. He only appears at the highest-level Tower Meeting.

This level of high-level conference typically symbolizes a few key messages.

The tower faces a great crisis, the death of an important scholar, or perhaps, groundbreaking academic achievements.

Bella took a deep breath, stood up, and smiled:

"I have gathered you all here today because I have made a significant new academic discovery regarding 'talent'."

boom!

The doors to the hall of knowledge were kicked open, and a stunningly beautiful red-haired woman in a leather jacket and pants entered. Behind her stood a tall, silver-haired woman in a black trench coat, who surveyed all the scholars in the conference room with a smile:

“We received a report that someone had stolen another person’s academic work and then imprisoned him.”

Chapter 83 The Evil God's Dinner Knife! The Only One Retained

The leather pants clung tightly to his legs, giving him a strong sense of security, the red-haired fox thought to himself, his legs rubbing together involuntarily.

Things seem to have gone a bit beyond expectations!

Originally, Li Xuan had already abandoned his principle of "a warm man following behind a dog" and was ready to transform into a caring and warm man to soothe the heartbroken girl's soul.

Although he manipulates the girl's body and comforts her like a bad uncle, he seems more like a pervert.

But Li Xuan didn't expect that Hillary was even more perverted than him!

The moment he possessed the body, his brain didn't itch, but hurt. His hand trembled, and a tearing pain came over him!

Staring at the magic seal [Mirror of Clarity] in front of him, he almost lost his composure.

Sheila is dissecting her own brain, using a scalpel to remove impurities and unleash her talents!

Following the blood streaming down his face, he saw a writhing brain and a knife churning inside. If he hadn't been silently telling himself, "Don't look down, or your brain will fall off," Li Xuan would have felt physically nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Damn, that hurts! They haven't given me any anesthesia yet!

Those scarlet, ferocious pupils, even if they were 'his own,' made Li Xuan's heart tremble.

Is this the legendary saying, "Either you become bad in silence, or you become a pervert in silence"?

No, no, no, these pupils seem to have both become evil and perverted.

This startled Li Xuan, who immediately activated his [Behavioral Assistance] to help Sheila regain her composure.

As a genius, Sheila's brain has a relatively high 'error tolerance'. Li Xuan's 'mistake' did not cause her too much damage, as a surgical imprint called 'Atomic Stitching' was repairing it.

Like Misha when she was first possessed, she felt little emotional turmoil.

Li Xuan sensed a strange power surging within her body; perhaps a magical seal was about to be formed?

More importantly, as Sheila cleansed the impurities from her mind, the 'surgical mark'—the talent—etched in her brain and called the 'scalpel' was fully revealed!

Bellusab's dinner knife?

Bellusab?

Having spent so much time in Noxus City, Li Xuan had naturally heard of this evil god of the 'Gluttony Cult'!

Why does Sheila possess such talent?!

Could she be some kind of saintess of the 'Gluttony Cult' who was kidnapped and brought back to live as a princess in the 'Tower of Knowledge'?

That doesn't seem very realistic, does it? How could a wolf cub brought back from a wolf den turn into a husky?

Despite his many doubts, Li Xuan still expressed his purpose: "I can help you reclaim your academic achievements."

Sheila did not question him, but instead said:

This room has been completely sealed by Bella's magic seal. Only a top-tier mage could forcibly break through it, but this is the Tower of Knowledge.

So, now that you know this, can you help me eat her up completely?

"."

"As you wish"

[Help Sheila reclaim her academic achievements from Bella. Complete this event to receive 10-20 consecutive draws from the 'Tower of Knowledge' gacha pool.]

Perhaps due to the awakening of the evil god's power, Sheila's condition was clearly abnormal, showing signs of hysteria and madness. Li Xuan immediately consumed one [Sacrifice Seal] (currently 5) to forcibly leave her body.

How to help?

Li Xuan had, of course, planned ahead.

He consumed 1 [Historical Possession Count] (currently 4) and returned to the body of the fox Misha.

Then there was only one person he could turn to: Ye Shu, the black-clad man in charge of Misha and her group of geniuses!

If nothing unexpected happens, this woman seems willing to participate.

First of all, her level is at least barely high enough.

If Misha were to go to the Tower of Knowledge, even the old security guard at the entrance might not be able to get through.

But Ye Shu is able to manage such a group of genius sorcerers, so her level must be very high and her status must be high as well.

Secondly, Ye Shu and Xila are sisters.

Although it was a superficial sisterhood that was "sold for more money," Ye Shu had handed her over to the city lord without hesitation. But putting aside the facts, perhaps the city lord's hall had given her too much, and the sisterhood still existed.

Then comes the 'meaning'.

The City Lord's Hall had just offended the Tower of Knowledge for the sake of magical artifacts, but if they could help the Tower of Knowledge discover a genius, it would be a favor.

Even if those great scholars, like Bella, would share Heila, it would still benefit the 'Tower of Knowledge' from the perspective of the City Lord's Hall.

[Help Misha, Li Xuan, and Sheila to complete this event and receive a 10-pull from the 'Secret Garden' gacha pool.]

As expected of a fox with both ambition and a great figure!

Actually, she didn't do anything.

But her 'identity' genuinely helped Li Xuan, so the incident is valid!

Now the pity system for 30 consecutive pulls in the 'Garden of the Deep' might be a sure thing.

Finally, the question is how to persuade Ye Shu.

This is very simple.

Tell her about how Sheila helped her unlock her second talent, and show Misha's new talent, [Precognition].

When Ye Shu found out, she couldn't help but grab Misha's shoulders and smile, "You're truly my lucky star!"

The 'caution' in the City Lord's Hall earned both praise and sarcasm from Li Xuan. Before setting off, Ye Shu still found a magic seal to test the truthfulness of Misha's words.

This is more expensive and rarer than the [lie] of the Tower of Knowledge and the previous [intimidation], but the City Lord's Hall is willing to spend it. As for the 30-day order, it will be used once in the Bible Magic Seal Tide.

Now, Li Xuan, using Misha's body, has come to the Tower Meeting of the Tower of Knowledge with Ye Shu.

"We received a report that someone stole someone else's academic work and has imprisoned them," Ye Shu said with a smile, showing no fear even in the face of such important figures.

Everyone's gazes shifted, immediately turning to Bella, the only scholar standing by the round table.

Bella's heart skipped a beat, but she knew that Sheila wouldn't hide anything from her, so she said calmly, "It's very impolite to disturb someone else's meeting."

Li Xuan stood expressionless to Ye Shu's right rear.

The fact that Misha is unharmed means that the "foreseeing the future" warning is still having an impact on Hillary.

Sheila was someone who was completely open with Bella. Even after Li Xuan's warning, she still told Bella everything because Bella was very important to her and she didn't want to have any doubts.

However, if the experimental subject Misha were revealed, then the prophesied Bella would definitely try to get rid of her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to convene the Tower meeting. Since this matter might affect others but not the 'non-prophesied' Bella, this became the only piece of information that was kept secret.

Now, this has become Hillary's only chance to turn things around.

Of course, Li Xuan wasn't foolish enough to completely trust Sheila and put Misha in a potential crisis. Misha would have obediently stayed in the city lord's hall as he requested until the matter was resolved.

“No, no, no, the one we’re looking for is you, the great scholar Bella,” Ye Shu said with a smile.

“Impossible. Sheila would never tell this woman who betrayed her not long ago.” Bella still looked at her expressionlessly.

"Your adopted daughter, Sheila, has discovered academic achievements that could unlock more of a sorcerer's talents, yet you have imprisoned her in a room in the tower, and now you are brazenly announcing her academic achievements here, is that right?" Nightshade said.

what? !

More talents?!

Everyone present was shocked. They were all great scholars from the tower of knowledge, how could they not know the meaning behind these words?

Sensing Bella's icy gaze, Ye Shu said softly:

"If I had known Auntie was so greedy, I would have given her more expensive gifts every Chinese New Year."

(End of this chapter)

How to turn the tide in Chapter 84?

"The academic achievements are yours. If I can help you get to the 'Tower Conference,' can you turn the tables on Bella and reclaim the glory that belongs to you?"

Li Xuan gazed at the mother and daughter locked in a standoff with his beautiful red-haired fox eyes, while Bella looked at Sheila and told him the answer herself:

"Are you going to use the knowledge you've learned from me to draw your sword against your mother?"

Removing the seal from a room remotely is a piece of cake for a great scholar. When Li Xuan was sent by Ye Shu to find Sheila with the scholars of the 'Tower of Knowledge', her room was not under any shackles.

The masterpiece of the 'Tower of Knowledge,' the imprint [Lies], can only be used to target 'infringement of others' intellectual property rights.' As for 'academic achievements,' there is currently no corresponding 'renewable' imprint because—
