The saintess I possessed had a head full of nonsense.

Too complicated.

The most obvious point is that the new 'academic achievements' are built on top of many existing 'academic achievements', and their structure is too complex.

This situation is like your wife having had three exes, and you becoming her husband. The first ex taught her to speak, the second taught her to cooperate, and the third taught her to act. She is now in your form, but not entirely.

Of course, the ultimate reason is that no sorcerer has devoted their full efforts to researching 'academic achievements'. After all, 'Readers' and 'Lies' are masterpieces of the 'Tower of Knowledge'. No matter how difficult the spell is, someone can always research it, but the premise is that someone is willing to do so.

After all, cases of 'stealing academic achievements' are not common, and it is basic intelligence for scholars to keep their work confidential before publishing it.

In addition, spell seals like 'lie detector' are 'inevitably rare' because Bella is a powerful spellcaster who can render many spell seals ineffective. Otherwise, in high-level games, everyone would just throw away their spell seals and be good teammates who follow the rules, so where would all this scheming and backstabbing come from?

The more 'useful' a magic seal is, the more precious and rare it is.

Just like Federer's Keeper of Secrets, warlocks above 10 stars cannot be planted. If you want to cultivate a trusted confidant, you can only choose from the warlocks of different levels.

With only the restriction of 'one mandatory command every 30 days', he also has to face the possibility that the genius sorcerer might start strong but then decline and suddenly become mentally challenged. This feeling is just as frustrating as 'having your beautiful daughter, whom you've raised for 18 years, kidnapped by a blond-haired guy'.

However, given the foundation of the 'Tower of Knowledge', surely it has such reserves?

This is an academic achievement that could usher in a new era of multi-talented sorcerers! Even if the price paid is heavy, can it compare to this?

The reason is simple: there's no need for it.

Sheila is merely a scholar who has only been a sorcerer for a few months, and a large part of her appeal is that she is the daughter of the great scholar Bella.

Because of a question from such a 'minor scholar,' an extremely precious magical seal is being wasted—

This situation is like a man being falsely accused of 'taking photos secretly' by a woman on the subway. The woman cannot prove that he took photos secretly, but she makes him prove that he 'did not take photos secretly'—it's as shameless as that.

Bella's words imply that she had told her daughter Sheila about her "academic achievements" in advance, and that the young scholar, blinded by "fame and fortune," actually wanted to join forces with outsiders to attack his own mother and try to put his name on the academic patent.

However, the scholars were quite curious. If that was all, it would be somewhat humiliating. What else did she plan to do?

Hearing Bella's words, Sheila simply looked at her with a touch of sadness.

"No, the 'Tower of Knowledge' won't waste its precious magical seals for this, but it also won't prove that I'm framing Bella. Most likely, the Tower will give me a chance to prove myself, and I can escape Bella's control as a result. My academic achievements will also be temporarily unsigned due to the dispute," Sheila replied at the time.

"But what if I gave you a sign called [Pioneer]?"

[It's not that simple, but I think I've found a way.] Sheila stirred the scalpel in her mind, her scarlet pupils flashing with a chilling light.

At this moment, a golden magic seal appeared in Sheila's palm, resembling a human figure struggling forward.

"The Pioneers?!"

Li Xuan immediately felt the temperature in the hall drop several degrees, and the scholars gasped and exclaimed in surprise.

Pioneers!

The more prosperous the era, the more difficult it is to make breakthroughs in 'academics'. Great scholars can't even remember the last time a magical seal called 'Pioneer' appeared. Only those scholars who have undergone a qualitative change in 'academics' can condense this magical seal from the magical book 'Heavenly Book' of the 'Tower of Knowledge'!

This spell seal is also a super spell seal!

What does it mean to be able to use a 'one-time seal' twice?

Many 'rare spell seals' are often one-time use only, once used up, they are gone. Their effects are incredible, and it is extremely difficult to obtain a second one. If you can use them twice, your life will be completely changed!

This made it difficult for the scholars to remain calm, but their excitement was not directed at Bella.

really

Bella calmly said, "Hila, congratulations on condensing the [Pioneer] seal. This proves that you may have played a role in my academic achievement."

First of all, I want to apologize to you. I neglected you and failed to remember the insightful reminder you gave me.

But your approach has greatly disappointed me. I am eager to publish my academic findings, and scholars will study them with me. Sooner or later, I will realize your contribution.

As your mother, I will never hesitate to include your name among the authors of this academic work, just as I have always done.

This is what Sheila said, and what all scholars would subconsciously think—Sheila had an effect, but she was still just Bella's assistant, nothing more.

"no no."

Sheila's expression dimmed slightly. Biting her red lips, she flicked her finger lightly, and the golden humanistic magic seal of the [Pioneer] flew to Bella's front in front of her amidst the astonished gazes of the scholars.

This is actually a 'one-time use seal'?!

Was it not condensed by Hillary?

How did she get it?

Even the spell seal repository of the 'Tower of Knowledge' no longer contains this spell seal! Could it have been formed naturally?

Sheila then said, "This seal is not used to prove whether I contributed to this academic achievement. Instead, it is you, Bella, who will use it to prove whether you contributed to this academic achievement!"

"Please, Lord of the Tower, restore the restriction on 'one-time use seals'!" Hilla pleaded.

The 'restrictions' of 'one-time use seals', such as the 'Blessing of Courage', do not require 'not being in a state of fear'. However, this 'restriction' can be restored, but once it is restored, its 'value' will decrease due to the 'restriction'.

[Pioneer] - [Limitation] - The sorcerer has created an unprecedented academic achievement; the achievement must reach a level that changes the world.

Now that things have come to this, the scholars no longer have much choice but to trust Bella. Could it be that Bella, the great scholar, stole their academic achievements by producing such a magical seal?!

The scholars all looked at Bella with different expressions.

But then the woman's face turned cold, and she said:

"Did you finally awaken and get found by the Gluttony Cult?"

These words stunned the entire audience!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 85 At this moment, she is a pioneer.

what's the situation?

The scholars were somewhat bewildered. It felt like they were eating hotpot and singing when the female lead on TV suddenly pulled out something bigger than the male lead's—it was very abrupt.

Bella's soft sigh echoed within the Hall of Knowledge.

A deep disappointment appeared in her eyes, and she began to recount everything from the past.

“I carried out a child from the firelight whose body was covered with the ritual markings of the god of gluttony.”

She looked at Sheila intently, paused, and said, "I still firmly believe in evil spells and talents, and that only evil sorcerers possess them."

While I joined the 'Tower of Knowledge', I raised Sheila. She had never shown any abnormalities, and I thought Sheila would not be affected by the God of Gluttony. Until one night, I saw her scarlet pupils, which were so cold and so evil.

I secretly took her to visit many powerful sorcerers, but they were all helpless. So I began to study the brain and the source of sorcery, which is the origin of the academic findings I am about to announce today.

One scholar couldn't help but ask, "What did you do to her?"

Bella gazed at Sheila and said softly, "I dissected her brain. It's difficult to cleanse the brain of impurities and unleash talent, but I found a substance that is the same as the impurities in the brain."

I placed this substance into Sheila's brain, spending years of effort to conceal her lurking evil and powerful talent. She was lucky; after being partially concealed, this talent transformed into a skill called "Scalpel," which even awakened before she became a sorcerer!

Since then, Sheila has become normal and no longer occasionally becomes cruel and terrifying. I gradually forgot about it, but…

Bella's eyes were filled with heartache and regret as she gritted her teeth and said, "I should have completely concealed that talent back then!"

The crowd reacted with varying expressions. Bella's meaning was clear: the reason for Sheila's dramatic change was the resurgence of the evil power from the 'Gluttony God Ritual'.

That old ritual might have been a major one for the 'Gluttony Cult,' perhaps giving birth to an evil sorceress favored by the 'Gluttony God.' Therefore, after her awakening, the 'Gluttony Cult' might have noticed her, and now, by stealing academic achievements, the 'Gluttony Cult' is helping her!

This explains the origin of the [Pioneer] seal. Perhaps it has some hidden effects that could ultimately help Sheila steal the academic achievements, thus allowing the Gluttony Cult to infiltrate the [Tower of Knowledge]!

“Sheila, you probably don’t even know this yourself. After all, she’s such an innocent and carefree little girl. How could I bear to tell you such a cruel truth?” Bella said softly.

Everyone suddenly realized that Sheila believed Bella didn't know, so the 'Gluttony Cult' didn't know either, which was why they brought the [Pioneers] to steal academic achievements.

Now, all we need to do is cut open her brain and completely unleash her evil talents, and everything will be clear!

The eyes of so many scholars lit up; they couldn't wait to see that scene!

Suddenly, Bella bowed to the Tower Lord as a scholar and said earnestly, "Lord of the Tower, I will demonstrate the structure that can make the brain incredibly stable. I will make an indelible contribution to the development of sorcerers."

Now, I have a request.

The Lord of the Tower nodded and said, "Speak."

“Sheila was only affected by the power of the ‘Gluttony God.’ She is still my beloved daughter, and I don’t want her to be hurt in any way,” Bella said.

"Yes, she will be protected by the highest level of protection of the Tower of Knowledge," said the Lord of the Tower.

"Tch." Ye Shu couldn't help but purse her lips when the man in black made such a promise, but she didn't say anything to her older brother.

"Then, Sheila, my good child, sleep, sleep. When you wake up, you will still be my precious daughter," Bella whispered. With a gentle touch, a butterfly made of light landed on Sheila's brow, and the girl immediately fell into a deep sleep.

The scholars looked on in surprise. While one could manipulate 'spell marks', one could never manipulate 'talents'. Even 'unleashing talents' was something Bella had only recently discovered.

The 'Gluttony Cult' can inscribe 'talent' into the bodies of human infants through rituals, but this is only 'granting' talent. Nature has naturally created such imprints.

'Unleashing one's talent' is even more difficult.

With each of Bella's surgical seals used, the effects of anesthesia, dust-free and sterile environments took effect.

The scalpel cut open Sheila's brain, and also the pupils of the great scholars; a whole new world was beckoning to them!

As for how to conceal the release of one's talent?

It's easy to imagine the consequences of monopolizing something that "benefits all mankind." It would be far better to contribute to the "Tower of Knowledge" and reap enormous benefits!

After all, the 'Illusionary Realm Invasion' was like a sharp knife hanging over the heads of the sorcerers, and they had every reason to force Bella to hand over the method.

A golden structure took shape in Bella's hands, and the scalpel danced swiftly under her control.

"The brain's structure is incredibly robust!" The scholars were breathless; it was all true!

The era of multiple talents for warlocks is coming!

"what?!"

Suddenly, Bella took two steps back, an expression of disbelief on her face.

what happened? !

The scholars were stunned and stood up to check. The 'talent' was the 'spell mark' engraved in the brain (spell source). At this moment, Sheila's spell source core was triggered, and the entire spell source was illuminated. A 'talent' was being exposed to the spellcasters' senses!

But this doesn't seem to be a natural talent of the gluttony cult?

【The Prophet's Knife】- You possess extremely precise cutting skills and can make your attacks recur after 2 seconds.

“This is impossible!” Bella screamed hysterically.

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Ye Shu clapped her hands and laughed heartily.
