The Speedrun Manual of Miss Witch - Chapter 275

【Musician: Complete a perfect performance at a concert with at least 1,000 listeners, gaining recognition from at least 90% of the audience, and having at least 10 people become loyal followers because of your performance, then the ritual is complete…】

【Melody Master: In a theatrical performance accommodating at least 3,000, perform an original melody until the last human listener is infected by the emotion of your melody, then the ritual is complete…】

Ciel looked at the several reconstitution rituals copied in the notebook before her and fell into thought.

Why were they all related to large-scale performances? And the path was very fixed.

Besides the necessary conditions to complete, even what needed to be done at each step had clear instructions and annotations, as if a path had been set, and everyone was following it.

This made Ciel feel a little uncomfortable, because her own reconstitution rituals never fully followed the “prescribed” methods.

“Do you have any questions?” Princess Vitalis asked when she saw Ciel pondering for a long time after reading through the reconstitution rituals.

“Whose reconstitution rituals are these?” Ciel looked in Princess Vitalis’s direction and asked directly.

These so-called perfect reconstitution rituals must have been the safest ones, least likely to be affected by the potion, summarized by most transcendents after their personal experiences, and verified by many later individuals to form the current template.

“They are…” Vitalis was silent for a moment, then said, “They are Forte’s… The requirements for these reconstitution rituals might be high, but if they can be completed, this is currently the ritual that can minimize the potion’s influence.”

Although Vitalis was reluctant to admit it, Forte was absolutely outstanding in the “Musician” path. It was only natural that various standards were set by him.

Even Vitalis herself was following the path set by Forte.

“I once knew a ‘Musician’ who only played for fewer than ten people in her life and still successfully digested the potion,” Imogen interjected. “The paths of reconstitution rituals are ever-changing. Forte’s isn’t necessarily the perfect standard answer, but rather the simplest solution for nobles.”

Saying this, Imogen shrugged, then explained, “Not every ‘Musician’ has the opportunity to perform on stage, especially if some people’s instruments are quite ancient…”

Listening to their words, Ciel also formed some ideas in her mind.

If an ordinary person were truly to go from learning music to performing in a theater with so many spectators, the time it would take would be calculated in years, especially in Ansu where musical tastes were more discerning due to the existence of the Royal Orchestra.

It wouldn’t be easy to gain recognition from those seasoned professionals.

At least in this simulation, Ciel would basically not be able to complete the reconstitution ritual.

Although she could have Imogen directly summon an audience for her, making all the spectators burst into tears, get emotional, and applaud the moment she put her hands on the piano keys, the potion’s erosion from such a completed reconstitution ritual might appear from Tier 1…

Just like the “Queen Bee” potion that directly eroded Ciel’s body from Tier 2.

Moreover, the possibility of ritual failure also existed…

However, Ciel had already memorized the potion formulas and ritual contents. After returning, she could even have Lucy help her collect materials and Adele help her create the potions, without needing to continue interacting with the royal family.

Although Ciel could also directly exchange the potions from the system, the price was too expensive, and Ciel would certainly not consider it at this stage. Exchanging for materials, however, was feasible.

Forte had only blocked the reconstitution rituals and potion formulas for “Musician,” but he couldn’t completely block the materials. He could only block one type of relatively important rare transcendent material, which Ciel could directly choose to exchange for.

Ciel requested one bottle each of Tier 1 to Tier 3 “Musician” potions from Princess Vitalis, then left the royal palace with the potions—the royal palace had no stock of Tier 4 potions either, as they couldn’t be preserved for long and could only be prepared on demand when someone was about to complete the reconstitution ritual.

Next… it would be “Blood Painter.”

Imogen didn’t waste time. She directly hand-copied a Tier 1 “Blood Painter” reconstitution ritual for Ciel and immediately took out a bottle of Tier 1 “Blood Painter” potion.

Most of her valuable items were kept in her hiding place in North Ansu. She just happened to bring a bottle of “Blood Painter” and “Instigator” potions this time, for directly giving to promising talents and recruiting them into the Society of Merriment when good candidates were discovered.

Just as different churches typically train “Missionaries” to promote the church, the Society of Merriment’s “recruitment” is primarily handled by “Listeners” and “Instigators,” which ensures high success rates and secrecy.

In the carriage, Ciel looked at the “Blood Painter” ritual and potion in her hand, slightly stunned.

So that’s how it is…

So Pickman hadn’t performed a perfect reconstitution ritual before… The ritual recorded in Deton Manor in Berren City before was also not entirely accurate.

And it seemed she had the opportunity to directly complete this reconstitution ritual in the simulation.

After thinking for a moment, Ciel said, “Accompany me to a place.”

“Of course.” Imogen nodded.

Although she was in a hurry, eager for Ciel to tell her how to integrate “Uniqueness,” she knew that this matter could not be rushed.

Having sought for so many years, enduring a few more days was nothing. Impatience would spoil the grand plan.

If she kept Her Excellency Ciel comfortable, the subsequent transaction might result in fewer losses.

Ciel had the carriage change direction, taking the two of them to Ciel’s home.

Not the Prime Minister’s residence, but Ciel’s original place of residence.
