The two boys and girls looked at each other.

Vera, after all, had graduated from a church school, so she was compassionate and kindly advised, "My condolences. But it's okay, you still have your dad."

The giant shed tears, "My father is dead too."

Vera shut up.

Seeing this, Tia wiped her tears and said, "Me too. My parents passed away when I was just born, but I have to move forward in life and not let my uncle and aunt down..."

"How am I supposed to survive without those two old men blasting gold coins? I'm not like you people in the Seven Seas, all rich. I don't want you southerners to go stealing and robbing in the cities. If this continues, I'll just have to kill everyone in the village."

The giant held his head and cried.

"???"

Tia felt that she had cried too early. She looked at Vera, then at the black and white siblings. The four of them stared at each other, all speechless.

At this moment, a sound came from the distance, seemingly far and near. There was a click like the sound of a door opening, and an old man with antlers on his head and wearing a dark green suit walked out of the darkness and apologized hurriedly:

"Sorry, sorry, the old man was busy responding to believers in the sanctuary, so he's a little late."

"Everyone, I'm the host of this promotion ceremony, Menletus, the Ouroboros-worshipping Megalocera... Hmm, why are you crying again? Forget it, forget it. Young people these days really don't have the mental fortitude to be well-trained. Ahem... why are we still missing one?"

The old man with deer horns stared at the empty seat in a daze and said, "Don't worry, let me check what's going on."

Just as Menlettes finished speaking, he saw a figure flash in the last seat and then disappear with a puff.

Menlettes suddenly realized what was going on and waved his hands, saying, "It's okay, everything is normal. Don't worry, it's just that someone died."

Tia confirmed it after hearing it.

All right.

God's Bureau.

Volume 1: Chapter 102 The Witch, the Prince, and the Princess

Before entering the nightmare, the two teams started to exchange secret signals.

But unfortunately, although they were brother and sister who grew up together, Tia and Vera were so unfamiliar with each other that they didn't even know the color of each other's underwear. Their eye contact was like playing the lute to a cow, and no one understood what the other was saying.

Maybe they have seen such scenes too many times, or maybe spiritual creatures are really thick-skinned.

The apostle, the giant deer Menletus, had no intention of saying anything more. He took out a notebook from somewhere, hurriedly wrote down a name, and immediately announced the rules of the ceremony.

The rules this time are slightly different from last time.

This is the Sequence 8 promotion ceremony. As per tradition, I will not repeat the rules of the ceremony to you.

[This time, there are six of you participating in the Ascension Ceremony. One of you possesses multiple Paths of Transcendental Abilities, and one of you has been confirmed dead before the ceremony. Although dead, I still want to inform you: During the Ascension Ceremony, you cannot use abilities from paths other than the one you are promoting. Furthermore, Transcendental Abilities below Sequence 8 are prohibited from being used in the ceremony.]

You will now enter a nightmare to complete the ascension ritual. These nightmares are projections of history, not actual history. As hosts, we are solely responsible for helping you unlock the nightmares within the deep sea. We will not interfere with or observe your actions during the ritual. Therefore, once you enter the nightmare, all events, consequences, and problems that arise are unrelated to the host, myself, the Great Horned Deer Menletus.

[This is the second promotion ceremony. If you die during the promotion ceremony, you will have a tendency to spiritualize. After three deaths within the year, you will completely spiritualize. Please pay attention to protect your own safety.]

[This ceremony is limited to 12 hours and will be automatically settled when the time ends.]

【Please pay attention to protecting your personal privacy and be careful not to be deceived.】

It was simply a high-speed divine word. Tia could hardly hear such a long string of words. She just felt the sound whizzing past her ears.

After Menlettes finished speaking, he immediately closed the notebook and said, "Okay! I think you have finished your discussion, right? I have said everything that needs to be said.

"Blow out the candles on the table yourselves and go straight into the nightmare. I have things to do here."

Now Tia and a few others heard it clearly.

The old man with deer horns stood up in a hurry, left a few words and turned away.

Only the still grieving giant and four confused boys and girls were left.

What to do then?!

Vera asked blankly, "Should we have a conversation first?"

Sister Bai said tactfully, "Miss No-Brain, I think, I mean, there may not be much need for us to communicate. After all, you see, everyone here should have a clear goal."

Indeed, this promotion ceremony was a scene of star-studded brilliance, with two teams almost openly scheming against each other. One was called Black and White, the other was called Brainless and Unhappy.

There is also a super emo one, and one who died halfway.

Tia said, "Whatever the situation, let's exchange some information first. Are you from the Land of the Seven Seas?"

Tia is not good at geography and has no idea where the Seven Seas Kingdom is.

The elder brother smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Unhappy! But to be precise, I am in the Knights of the Broken Isles, and my sister is indeed in the Golden City of the Seven Seas."

Tia winked at Vera and asked her where the Seven Seas and the Broken Islands were.

Vera was stunned for a moment and raised her hand to make a heart shape.

Well, you can't count on me at all.

Tia said calmly:

"Can you tell me where that is?"

"Eh? Don't you know?"

Vera said honestly, "I'm not good at studying."

Sister Bai asked doubtfully, "But we should be able to find out all this just by looking at the map. Where are you two from?"

Vera was about to speak when Tia answered in advance: "She is an Iris person."

"Eh? But the Broken Isles aren't very far from Iris, and the Knights migrated from Iris during the reign of King Ludd. They only have a history of a few hundred years. Miss Brainless, don't you have history lessons?"

Vera said dazedly, "I don't know?"

The two siblings became even more confused.

Tia said: "It's okay, that's how they are as Iris people."

Sister Bai covered her mouth and laughed, "Then let me tell you. The Seven Seas Kingdom is over 5,000 nautical miles south of the Broken Islands. The Broken Islands are quite a distance from the Iris Kingdom. It takes nine days to get there by boat from the Boliu Coast heading southwest."

That was fine. Tia hadn't looked closely at any maps outside of Anzu's area. After all, a boat ticket was expensive, and she wasn't going abroad.

Tia was afraid of further embarrassment, so she said, "Blow out the candles. I think it's almost time."

The brother and sister Black and White nodded in tacit understanding. The brother Black stretched out his hand and made a light grab. The three holy candles went out with a few hissing sounds.

Soon, darkness enveloped the entire space.

It was no different from the last time she had a nightmare. Including the trip to the sanctuary, this was not the second or third time Tia had entered a nightmare, so she was very familiar with it.

She closed her eyes and waited for all her surrounding senses to disappear, and then the sound reached her ears.

【Recap】

At the beginning of the Golden Year, you, as one of the seven witches of the forest, are invited to the king's banquet. At this banquet, you offer your blessing to Princess Rosalinde, the most popular princess in the kingdom, the focus of everyone's attention, yet she has not appeared in a long time.

[Justice!: Kill the witch who intends to kill the princess by any means or create the possibility of killing the witch (1000 points - from Alchemy)]

Tia almost heard it all.

The Golden Years is a time period, which is the church's historical division method. It is divided into seven eras according to the seven sacred numbers. She is now in the "Prosperous Years", the sacred number 6 is the Oak in the Earth.

The Golden Years were the era of the Holy Number 3 Forging Hammer, roughly two to three thousand years ago. The Golden Years began around three thousand years ago. At that time, true autocratic states had yet to emerge.

But that doesn’t matter. The key is that the mission interests her.

Princess, prince, witch, it's all here!

interesting.

A little light also appeared in front of Tia's eyes, just like the dazzling light that appears in her eyes when her unstable light sleep is broken or she opens her mobile phone to check the time.

Before she was completely engulfed by the gradually expanding light, a faint whisper came from the voice-over.

At the dawn of the Golden Year, when the supernatural world was beginning to rise from humble beginnings, tragic news occurred in Briarwood, a small country far away in the Arabian Peninsula, renowned for its devout faith and outstanding craftsmanship...

Volume 1: Chapter 103 Sleeping Beauty and the Black Witch

When the voice-over ended, Tia's vision seemed blurred as if there was a layer of misty glass in front of her eyes.

But at some point, the mist gradually dissipated, and the surrounding space became colorful. It was an extremely gorgeous palace. Guards holding halberds and wearing shiny silver armor stood guarding the entrance to the palace. Inside, one could see lush and exotic gardens and fountains.

Tia felt like she was riding in a carriage, which was a very old-fashioned model. At least it had no shock-proof treatment, and the wheels were made of pure wood. The rattling sound along the way hurt her butt.

His appearance hadn't changed much, but he had long, luxurious platinum-blond hair. He wasn't very tall, about 1.55 meters.

He wore a black robe with red edges and gold patterns, and a long wizard hat on his head.

She is a little witch.

A sticky and cold voice-over also sounded in Tia's ears.

Time flies. Fourteen years after the birth of Rosalinde, the kingdom's most beautiful little princess, the king invited great magicians and virtuous monks from across the kingdom and surrounding regions to bestow blessings upon the little princess. As one of the seven most renowned witches of the northern forest, you, Agatha the Witch of the Rocks, have brought the little princess a special and precious gift.

[Five famous witches have also been invited along with you. Like you, they are dressed in colorful robes and are here to bless the little princess.]

[But by chance, when you entered the city, you heard a rumor circulating among the people that the little princess had been cursed and had not appeared in years...]

Tia moved her hand and saw a small storage cabinet in the carriage. Inside was a small bottle wrapped in silk cloth. She picked it up and took a look.

Tia's eyes widened instantly when she saw the label.

"What the hell? Dragon blood?!"

[Yes, you made a deal with the dragon from the northern volcano and obtained a bottle of precious red dragon blood. You will offer the blessing of courage to the little princess.]

Why does a princess need dragon blood to bless her, you bastard! Are you a normal princess?

Tia said she had no idea what the witch was thinking. The one she was blessing was the princess, not King Arthur or Siegfried - except for the feminized King Arthur.

But there really are giant dragons in this era...

Tia was a little interested in the so-called dragon, but before she could think about it, strange knowledge appeared in her mind - it was a skill specially used by the witch Agatha for blessing, which could make people feel powerful, but it could only be used on others and not on herself.

Tia thought it was a ritual to increase physical strength, but the conditions were a bit harsh: one had to live alone in the forest for thirty years before it could be used.

Thirty years. It turns out the saying that if you stay single for thirty years you can become a magician is true. Tia could only say that the people on Earth are not lying to her.

There was a rattling sound of wheels outside, and we finally arrived at the destination.

According to the background information, today is Princess Rosalinde's fourteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. Rosalinde is the king's favorite and the most beloved princess among the people of the country. Naturally, the coming-of-age ceremony of such a princess has attracted widespread attention.

The king even exempted the head tax in the royal city this year for the little princess, and even reduced the head tax for people from other places by half. Such a move naturally made people more excited about the princess's coming-of-age ceremony.

Tia could feel the joyful atmosphere along the way.

There are lights and decorations everywhere and singing all night long.

Even though it was very late, she could see the streets were brightly lit along the way, and people from every household brought their children out, lighting bonfires in the square and singing and dancing.

The temples on the road were also open. Tia didn't know what they believed in, but they were very unified. The priests were generous with their praises on the streets, blessing the little princess and giving her food and water.

Not only ordinary people were like this, but even at the banquet in the royal palace there was an atmosphere of joy and happiness.

Many guests have arrived in the hall, and each distinguished guest walks across the red carpet under the guidance of attendants.

Not only nobles and wealthy businessmen from the country, but also nobles and princes from foreign countries all came, and they were toasting each other and chatting and laughing everywhere.

Although the king had a worried look on his face, he smiled with relief when he saw that all six witches had arrived.

Surrounded by a group of guards, Tia, a little witch in a black robe and a pointed wizard hat, came to the magnificent palace. She dragged her robe that fell to the ground because of her petite figure, and her platinum hair fluttered in the wind. She soon arrived at the spacious and gorgeous hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, the king found Tia and exclaimed, "Witch Agatha! You are finally here!"

Tia said obediently: "Hello, Your Majesty."
