Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

"According to our records, the maximum diving depth of Sequence 9 is only 3000 meters. At this limit, they can easily control the rituals of Sequence 9 and No Sequence, and can barely master the rituals of Sequence 8. However, Sequence 7 has already reached below 5000 meters..."

Tia obediently raised her hand like a good student and interrupted, "So, the ritual threshold doesn't really have much to do with the sequence, but rather the diving distance?"

Marshall looked at Tia carefully and said with emotion: "What a good seedling."

"You're right. Sulph, do you remember what I said just now? The Ascension Ceremony is a man-made ritual. And the Ascension Ceremony is used to embark on the path of Sequence. So, before the Ascension Ceremony appeared, was there such a thing as 'Sequence'?

"It's hard to say. Scholars who study esoteric history debate this endlessly. But what is certain is that the sequence is based on the distance of immersion, so the immersion ceremony is the prerequisite for the promotion ceremony."

After hearing this, Tia suddenly understood.

No wonder she was able to easily use the high-sequence rituals obtained through sacrifice in her nightmares! Even if she hadn't yet reached the Sequence level, she could still easily understand the [Unending Sacred Seal] that Vera had traded for.

The prophet of the sacred number 1 established the principle of "boundaries": the vision of mortals must have its boundaries, and wherever they dive deep, that is where the boundaries are.

According to this principle, rituals and supernatural powers have thresholds. That's why Vera couldn't use the [Unending Seal]. But for Tia, there was no ritual she couldn't use, no ritual she'd set up or acquired along the way. Supernatural powers were like a little cutie stripped bare, ready for Tia to exploit...

In other words, his true diving limit is the water depth of the Inverted Temple?

If that's the case, then she should be able to use high-sequence rituals like the [Eternal Holy Seal].

Tia accepted the recommendation letter and nodded, "Thank you for your guidance."

"It's nothing. If you go to Yves Saint Laurent, someone will teach you these things."

Marshall shook his head in disapproval and simply asked, "So, little Sulph, what did you see?"

"I saw the Holy Grail."

"I told you Peter was suspicious," the old bishop said with a smirk. "Since you saw the Holy Grail, you've passed the test. How many did you see?"

"Three. The Holy Grail of the Holy Blood, the silver cup, and the gold cup. The silver cup has a laurel wreath around it, and the gold cup has two hands on each side, and they are filled with wine."

Tia didn't tell the truth.

The main point is that for a Sequence 9 transcendent, seeing a Sequence 7 Red Cup is no different from charging at full speed with a self-destructing truck...

And they rushed towards the church—

Who knows if they will treat me as a witch or something and try me for heresy.

Marshall smiled as he said, "As expected. Given the depth of your first ascension ceremony, you should have seen the Golden Cup. The fourth ceremony is the Red Cup Seal, one of the Nine Holy Seals of the Holy Church. The rituals you've seen are simplified and modified versions of the Red Cup Seal."

Hmm...so it's useless.

The Silver and Gold Cups function identically to the Red Cup, and their effects do not stack. Holy Blood in the Cup is preferred; using Red Cup Blood will heal the victim as if performing a [Quick Heal] ritual of the same sequence as the host.

Tia is currently at Sequence 9. Sequence 9's Rapid Healing ability slowly heals non-fatal injuries and also provides pain relief. It's roughly equivalent to applying a bandage to a wound and taking two ibuprofen.

It's just better than not treating the injury at all.

She accepted the recommendation letter, and now she had three letters of recommendation in her hand: one from Bishop Marshall, one from Pope Peter, and one from Professor Horner.

It can almost be said that Saint Laurent was recommended.

Even if she doesn't go to the interview, the interviewer will praise her for her personality!

The girl was a little dazed with the two letters of recommendation in her pocket. She didn't expect that the university would give her the chance just by clicking on it.

And it was the top school in Ansu that her sister Avina missed, Saint Laurent.

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

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

That afternoon, after leaving the Cathedral of Our Lady, Tia went to the police station to work for two days.

Of course, Tia had no interest in going to work.

She doesn't want to go to work, and the class doesn't want her to go to work. The wrong combination of the two should be banned in advance, otherwise she will become a busy cow and horse like Scarlett.

She came to the police station to wait for her colleague.

The Suppression Bureau, which once had only four hunters, now has some extra money after selling the Sirens' Song to the Church, and has recruited ten non-regular hunters. Including Scarlett who has just been regularized, the bureau now has a total of fifteen people.

Tia finally gained enough experience to become a veteran in the Suppression Bureau, and the remaining three veterans were:

Director Roman, sequence level unknown, path unknown.

Vanessa, who had been in charge of the transition and security with the royal family, had just returned. Unsheathed Blade Path, Assassin Sequence 7.

Elson, originally responsible for communicating with Lawrence's security and helping the Suppression Bureau secure support from local tyrants, is now investigating evidence of Lawrence Jr. colluding with the Twin Snakes. Oak Path in the Earth, Druid Sequence 7.

Together with Tia, who made up the numbers, they were known as the Big Four of the Suppression Bureau.

And what Tia is waiting for is Vanessa.

However, this silver-haired big sister who looks very bad is quite difficult to get along with, and the difficulty of defrauding her is just as great as her dazzling big breasts.

In Roman's office.

Vanessa walked familiarly behind the empty table and took out Roman's collection of black tea. Without turning around, she said to Tia, who had just entered from behind her, "There was a problem with the investigation of the cultists. Roman has now gone to Blackwater Port in the north, and so has Elson. He's been ostracized by Grimman Lawrence recently, and his security work there has been difficult, so Roman took him away as well."

"I'm in charge of the Newlon Port Defense Bureau now, and you as well. Relax, the Church will help, and Silver Castle will also send personnel over for support.

"Please sit down. Would you like some tea?"

Tia walked slowly to the sofa and shook her head, saying, "Drinking has caused psychological trauma."

Vanessa chuckled and said, "Indeed. That half-baked Roman doesn't understand tea at all. He has no sense of taste, so what can he taste?"

"Do you want this?"

The silver-haired elder sister shook the tin military wine flask in her hand. Tia could smell the alcohol just by opening it.

She was completely immune to alcohol, but the smell of this alcohol was a bit strange. Just a few sniffs made her feel hot.

Tia shook her head and said, "Give me a glass of warm water."

"Warm water? You're so picky." Vanessa leaned against her desk, her silver hair falling behind her. She casually rummaged through her shirt, which was already tight due to her curvaceous figure, making her feel like the buttons would burst all over the place in the next moment.

She said maliciously, "There's no warm water. Do you want this?"

A bone, slightly smaller than the palm of your hand.

Tia looked at the bone Vanessa was playing with in her hand and clicked her tongue softly.

If she was not mistaken, this should be a human bone, and it should be the heel bone.

The most important thing is the accumulation of spiritual energy above, which she can sense through her enhanced perception.

This guy has her completely under his control...

"Yours, Miss Inspector?"

"Let's be frank, Senior Vanessa. Can you give it back to me?"

"Oh—" Vanessa said with a drawn-out laugh, "Is that so? But this is my trophy. Look at this, it's a classic technique from the Alchemy Society or the Hand of Transformation. The entire spirit is condensed into this single bone."

"The entire spiritual power of a Sequence 7 Beyonder, tsk tsk tsk, I can't even imagine what kind of ritual this much spiritual power could be used to orchestrate—"

Tia smiled and said sweetly, "Senior Vanessa, do you have any concerns or doubts about my being hired by the Suppression Bureau?"

Vanessa walked up to Tia and said with a smile, "No, how could that be? I don't doubt Roman's decision. He is smarter and more determined than you think. But harmless doesn't mean the purpose is pure, don't you think, Miss Tia Sulph?"

"Of course, about this bone..."

"If you want, I can give it to you. But..."

"Are there any conditions?"

"Yes, just a little bit, a small price to pay." Vanessa lifted Tia's chin with the bone and said, "You know, dogs like bones. Just say, I am Sister Vanessa's puppy."

Volume 1: Chapter 73: The Attack and Defense Are Different

What a bad character and bad taste.

Tia's first impression of Vanessa was indeed not very good - especially when Vanessa discovered her little secret and had to be controlled by others - Tia's impression of Vanessa became even worse.

Tia grabbed the bone against her chin and stood up sideways. "Senior Vanessa, is your majesty limited to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, boom!

A ball of fire spread along Tia's wrist. The fireball that had just been summoned was transformed into seven fire snakes wrapped around her arm with just a thought. In an instant, they crawled over the bones and bit Vanessa.

The biggest advantage of [Golden Fire] is that it does not require any complicated rituals, and can be released with just gold.

The main point is simple and rough, and you can become stronger by spending money.

Even at the moment when the golden fire broke out, Vanessa did not react. Her long silver-gray hair was blown up by the surging flames, and the edges curled up, emitting a faint burnt smell.

The next moment when the fire snake was about to touch her wrist, Vanessa moved her body, and her whole body exploded like a popped bubble.

Boom!

The fire snake exploded and scattered on the wall.

In the office, there was only a bone left in Tia's hand.

Tia looked around slowly. In the blink of an eye, she saw a shadow floating past from the left. In the blink of an eye, she saw the shadow running to the right.

Vanessa's voice seemed to come from all directions, floating and uncertain.

A voice from the back said playfully, "Interesting! A very offensive ritual. Did you learn this from the Alchemy Society?"

A voice from the left followed closely, "Roman still underestimated you. From what I heard from him, I thought you were just a little Shrike."

The voice on the right was vague and said with a smile, "But I didn't expect it wasn't a jumping bird, but a little wild cat baring its teeth everywhere!"

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

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

The sound lingers.

Tia felt a strong wind blowing from the right, and a cold white fist was just around the corner.

Vanessa had reached Tia's side without knowing when. She suddenly opened her clenched fist and a dagger fell from her hand to the ground.

This was her way of signaling that she was not here to kill Tia, so she dropped her weapon on her own initiative.

But the palm was not polite at all. It was slightly tilted towards Tia's temple, and was about to grab her neck and hug her in his arms.

Moreover, Vanessa's hands were not very clean. Although they looked white, Tia could clearly see a dark green light flashing on them. This should be some kind of ritual.

But since he could attack me so unscrupulously, it shouldn't be fatal - after all, it's more convenient to pierce the neck with a dagger.

Tia made her judgment in a split second: this should be some kind of ritual that causes people to become unconscious or poisoned.

But unfortunately, all rituals are useless.

Just after Tia released the golden fire - soul amplification, hand of transformation, golden fire, and eternal holy seal.

This time she was in the atmosphere, and all the rituals were completed and released, and Vanessa fell completely into her prediction.

The biggest function of the Hand of Transformation is to perform combos. After releasing a ritual, you can ignore the materials and instantly complete the next ritual at three times the cost.

——Of course, triple the price is indeed too much of a burden for some rituals, but the Seal of Eternal Life is not one of them.

The Seal of Eternal Life can grant temporary invincibility at the cost of being immobile, but the materials and rituals required are quite complex.

Tia directly used the Hand of Transformation to connect the second round of golden fire with the Eternal Holy Seal, so she stood there without moving after releasing the first round of golden fire.

Coupled with Tia's rich facial expressions and body management...

Vanessa reached out and put her arm around Tia's neck, her wrists looped around her neck and brought them to her chin. Her fingers, like a slithering snake, gently crawled over her collar and collarbone. From this angle, Vanessa could clearly see the panic in Tia's eyes. She said with some disappointment, "I thought you were holding back some incredible ritual here, but you haven't reacted at all?"

"Well, you're only seventeen. Not yet an adult. Since Roman didn't tell you, I'll teach you.

"Among the many branches of the Unsheathed Blade, Assassins are the most common on the mainland and islands. Sequence 9's extraordinary ability is enhanced physical strength and vision, Sequence 8 is the ability to hide the moment of being discovered, and Sequence 7 is the ability to discover the enemy's fatal weaknesses.

"The most commonly used ritual is the Berserker branch's favorite ritual of facing the enemy head-on. Others include the Dove Ritual, Invisible Step, and Toxin Attachment...

"What I have on my hand right now is the toxin. Oh, don't be afraid." Vanessa saw Tia's body tremble slightly and smiled, "It's just a simple toxin that can cause coma. It will be convenient for me to drag you into the house and give you a thorough examination. After all, Roman is not convenient, but I am very convenient."

Vanessa's fingers tentatively reached into Tia's slim little dress, but quickly retreated, then she raised her five fingers and pressed down on the slightly trembling and silent black-haired girl.

"Well, you're not talking?" Vanessa said with a smile, "Are you scared? Or was your resistance just a little fun, waiting for your sister to take you back for examination? Indeed, although domestic cats are cute, they do lack a bit of wildness. A wild cat like you is just right for soaking in water for examination."

The silver-haired elder sister activated her extraordinary ability, opened her eyes, and was about to find out Tia's weakness.

But the next moment, Vanessa's beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

wrong!

How could this person be completely without weaknesses?!
