Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret
Page 299
Immediately, the figure teleported to the side of the next ice pillar.
This is because the barrier between the deep sea and the material world has been completely broken down, and the activities in the shallow waters of the deep sea are reflected onto objects in the material world that have the property of a "smooth mirror".
If time were to stand still, one could see more clearly that the figure was about 80% similar to Tia, but slightly taller and with a fuller chest. Silver-white dragon scales spread from the temples on both sides. In the instant it moved within the ice pillar, its black hair and black eyes turned into a silver-white with an icy blue tinge, and dragon horns also sprouted from its forehead.
The next moment, it leaped into a new ice pillar, its scales and horns turning completely black, spreading out like ink to dye its long, black hair.
Avina, controlling a dragon-shaped spirit, stood on its back, leaping through the deep sea, and clicked her tongue in amazement:
"Bahram wasn't found... but it seems like Tia has been found..."
Chapter 501 is today.
After dozens of jumps, Avina leaped from the central frigid zone of the Great Icefield all the way to the outer icefield zone.
Once on the ice field, Avina ascended into the material world. The vast ice field was traversed by towering hills that resembled snakes and elephants, all covered in snow or frozen into smooth ice.
If you look at it from the sky, you can see a spectacular sight that resembles an ice sculpture.
Within these winding, undulating ice sculptures, dozens of strangely shaped spirits are wandering consciously.
Some resemble a Cyclops strolling among ice hills, while others look like a multi-headed serpent rising from the clouds.
But Avina had no intention of lingering. A wisp of white mist rose to the ice field and quickly solidified into two parts. One part slowly solidified into a silver dragon with coiled horns, while the other part solidified into Avina standing on the dragon's back.
Because her physical body was destroyed by the ritual that projected the star chart of destiny, Avina actually had no physical body, and her soul was directly merged with the Pisces archetype star chart.
But at the same time, she is not a spiritual being—a spiritual being is not simply "a life form that exists in the form of a soul."
Her life structure is quite complex; she cannot be classified as an ordinary human, nor as a deep-sea spirit, and even she herself is unclear about it. If one had to describe it, it would probably be "a life form that exists through rituals."
In a way, this could also be considered a "Pisces".
"Stop—"
With a shout, Avina's dragon slowly unfurled its wings, took a few steps forward, and came to a stop. All the spirits around turned to look at Avina, their eyes flashing with greedy malice.
“Sulph!”
“Sulph!”
“Sulph!”
Even though the spirits were dozens of miles away from Avina, their incessant noise still lingered in her ears.
"Sulph! What happened to the human sacrifices? They all ran away, and we couldn't defeat the few who came. We finally managed to damage their souls with a curse, but you took seventy percent of the spiritual essence you plundered. You damn profiteer, give me back my spiritual essence!"
"I'm hungry! I'm hungry! I'm hungry! I'm hungry!"
"Aren't spirits human? You're just deceiving us like this? Where are the saints? Where are all the saints? Come out and judge this!"
Avina's face turned cold. "Shut up."
The silver dragon beneath them suddenly flapped its wings, and a raging, icy wind howled across the spirits' bodies. This wind, carrying the purifying and suppressing effects of the Great Ice Plains, instantly shattered the spirits into pieces.
These spirits cursed, "You told us the Great Ice Plains were teeming with people! And you said that by drilling through the material world and creating deep-sea turbulence, you were giving us a fast ride to the surface!"
"And now you're telling us the people on the Great Icefield have run away, our passage back to the deep sea is blocked by your deep-sea turbulence, and we're going to be slaughtered like pigs by a bunch of humans. You deep-sea traitor! Ouroboros rebel!"
"On behalf of Mother Ouroboros, I condemn you!"
"Are you deaf when I tell you to shut up?" Avina raised her hand and instantly radiated light.
A sudden gust of cold wind swept across the vast ice plain, instantly turning the ram-horned demon spirit that had just been representing the ouroboros mother into several plates of mutton rolls, startling the spirits into a panic.
However, the injury only looked serious. Soon, the horned demon transformed back into its original form from the mutton roll and angrily said, "Sulph, you despicable spirit, what kind of person are you to bully me just because you're exempt from the Great Icefield Curse? Do you dare to go back to the Deep Sea and fight me head-on!"
Avina couldn't help but curse, "You bunch of useless trash! The Wisdom Palace's prophets were setting up the projection ritual on the Great Ice Plains, but even Donya Bahram wasn't there. There was only one Saint and four Sequence Fours, and you still couldn't win!"
"I tore up the Pisces Star Chart for nothing! I stole the new sanctuary from that twin serpent, then blew up this thing and half of my star chart, nearly killing myself to open the deep-sea turbulence and weaken the curse of the Great Icefield, and you still lost to me in a nine-on-five battle! Now the people are still there, the star chart has been taken away, and the Palace of Wisdom has even summoned all the nations of the continent, and now you're starting to complain about me? Are you even human?!"
"We're not human to begin with! Besides, Sulph! We all did our part, we just couldn't win! What else do you want us to do, help you take back the star map? Garbage, you're worried about the star map being projected into the Truth Layer, but we're not!"
“Me! @#¥%…”
Avina raged for a while before her anger subsided slightly. She scolded, "I don't care if you're human or not, but the deep sea turbulence needs to be filled with a sanctuary or a star map as a sacrifice before it can be plugged. Palam, Gesas, I'll temporarily tear open the barrier of the Great Icefield for you. You two come with me to Eternal Night Keep and see if we can find those prophets' star map."
"The rest of you stay behind on the Great Ice Plains. Keep an eye on those prophets who are still up to their old tricks. Once we find the star map, I'll use it to block the turbulence. If there's anything left, I'll tear it apart and feed it to you."
The sound faded.
The multi-headed serpent Palram, hovering in the misty sky, and the one-eyed giant Gessar, sitting atop the hill, both looked at Avina.
The silver dragon beneath Avina spewed out plumes of white steam, like the steam from a train. Then, a parchment scroll slowly flew out from her chest. When the scroll was unfurled, a circular star map came into view. Bright stars were strung together to form constellations, and around the constellations were drawings of figures such as Libra, clocks, telescopes, sea serpents, unicorns, and octopuses.
However, nearly half of this scroll of drawings is missing, the stars have dimmed, and the drawings are barely visible.
The dragon beneath Avina slowly melted away, and a pervasive cold mist rose around her, swirling around her body. Fine silver scales grew from her temples, and long dragon horns spiraled up from her forehead.
The giant serpent in the sky swooped down, placing Avina atop its central triangular head.
Two stars in the constellation Cleopatra went out instantly.
On the distant ice hill of the Great Icefield, a dark crack was faintly torn open. The two spirits, the multi-headed serpent Palam and the one-eyed giant Gessar, roared and charged into the crack head-on.

Meanwhile, as dawn broke, Rashina hurried to the watchtower on the northwest side of the city wall in Westerburg. Inside the watchtower, scholars were adjusting astronomical telescopes and constantly moving the two-meter-long alchemical device at the center of the tower that resembled an octant.
When Rashina returned to the main hall of Westerburg, Bernice had already woken up, and Anne, who was under a four-hour sleep curse, had also woken up.
Upon seeing this, Rashina quickly asked, "Where is Sulph?"
Anne said, "Still sleeping... Hmm, they must be in the deep sea. Aunt Rashina, what happened?"
"The spiritual disturbance in the Great Icefield has intensified again. However, this time, the direction of the turbulent currents surging from the deep sea to the surface, as well as the trend of spiritual spread, should be heading towards Evernight Keep. We started observing relatively late, so it should have already broken out in Evernight Keep by now."
Annie hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Should we wait until they're done making a scene before we go over?"
Bernice gave Annie a deep look, feeling that the child already had quite the air of nobility, and said, "We must go now. Although Ansu and the Empire have a bad relationship, we cannot ignore the matter of the spirit riots."
"Natia..."
Before Anne could finish speaking, footsteps could be heard in the distance.
Tia walked around the corridor and into the council chamber. She had just woken up and was still yawning. She rubbed her eyes and said, "I'll go over there. I want to see what this so-called spirit riot is all about."
Chapter 502 One punch shatters the princess's soul, Commander, I am Caroline
Avina has a very bad relationship with the Palace of Wisdom.
It's not just because Avina herself is a grumpy older sister—although her personality is indeed terrible, if you dare to have a serious financial dispute with her, she'll just blow you up with explosives. If you dare to have problems in your love life, you're even worse off. Don't think too much, just wait to be lying in bed with her.
But more importantly, the projection of the destiny star chart into the Wisdom Palace is indeed related to her interests. Once the destiny star chart is successfully projected and enters the deep sea, her life will be in danger.
The Destiny Star Chart has been incomplete ever since she took it.
Although the Palace of Wisdom has the ability to repair the Destiny Chart and complete this 1/12, time waits for no one. Dongya doesn't know when the new era will arrive, nor does she know if there will be another period of stagnation where the continental nations are mutually hindering each other and unable to attend to other matters.
Moreover, Dongya had planned it from the very beginning. The star map of destiny that was tested was designed in this way: the twelve star maps were inextricably linked. After the three-round jump slingshot completed all the acceleration and entered the critical layer, the final star map would pull the other star maps down like a small cart pulling a balloon. In the end, all the star maps would sink at the fastest speed.
This modular design was originally intended to prevent the star map from being intercepted.
But unexpectedly, they managed to defend against Avina.
Once the Wisdom Palace begins projecting the star map, Avina will face the prospect of being dragged along at breakneck speed to the Truth Layer.
However, considering that she is human, it is hard to say what will happen to her after she reaches the truth level. She may become something like the Goddess of Fate... but more likely she will be corrupted by the water pressure and have her human intelligence completely destroyed.
Therefore, when the Wisdom Palace attempted to construct a projection ritual on the Great Icefield, Avina went directly into the deep sea, found several powerful spirits she could communicate with, and took advantage of the Twin Serpents' weakness to steal the sanctuary they had just robbed in a fight.
Because of this, Hagi chased after Aviana for more than half a month, only giving up angrily when Aviana detonated the Sanctuary.
That's right, detonate the Sanctuary.
Avia is at a depth of 70000 meters underwater, and normally she cannot surface. She can only surface by taking advantage of the Sanctuary or deep-sea turbulence. This Sanctuary comes from Silver Door and has a very profound history.
In the instant of the explosion, the resulting deep-sea turbulence surged from 7 meters underwater all the way down to 3000 meters. Not only Avina, but countless spirits were also lured to the shallow waters by Avina's lure of the material world.
And coincidentally, at that time, Bloodthorn was being raised by the Hand of Transformation, which also stirred up deep-sea turbulence, perfectly covering Aviana's plan.
That's why she suddenly ran over to see Tia.
I just happened to be passing by and wanted to check if my little sister was dead...
They found her alive and kicking, and after helping her out, Avina went back to outwitting the Palace of Wisdom.
The prophets of the Great Icefield attempted to take advantage of its environment to project star charts, so they built ritual structures and transported the star charts here one after another.
Then, at 4000m, Avina blew up half of the Pisces star chart in her hand—this step was to take advantage of the close connection between the Pisces star chart and other star charts to forcibly tear open the barrier between the deep sea and the material world of the Great Icefield.
She hadn't expected that the spirits she summoned were all useless, unable to even defeat four Sequence Four Prophets and a Saint. Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the Great Icefield and the ongoing turbulent currents rising from the bottom, they were trapped there, unable to escape or return...
The past is too painful to recall. Avina stood on the triangular head of the multi-headed giant serpent Palam. Because Palam was a spirit, it was almost a cloud of ice mist, hidden in the sky and completely invisible to the naked eye and even to low-level superhumans.
Param's heads stared at the streets and buildings of Eternal Night Fortress ten thousand meters below, an uncontrollable urge to destroy rising within them. They hissed, trying to suppress their urge, "Sulph, what do we do?"
Avina pondered for a moment and said, "The situation at Nighthold is complicated. Fortunately, Merlin set off for the outpost on the Great Icefield last night, leaving only Dongya and Chief Inquisitor Alexander. We are at a disadvantage in a fight. I'm making the following arrangements: Giant, you will attack Princess Caroline later to draw Nighthold's attention."
The Cyclops pointed to his only eye, blinked blankly, and asked, "Me? Me?"
"Otherwise what? You go find the star map? Do you even have a brain?"
"I can't beat him..."
“I didn’t ask you to fight! If you can’t beat them, why don’t you run away? Palam, once the giants make a fuss, you go and hold Alexander back. I’ll go find the exact location on the star map.”
"Hiss, what about Dongya? She'll find you."
Avina said, "I am a prophet myself, and I am also connected to the Pisces constellation. It shouldn't be a problem for me and the two of you to shield our fate. As long as you can escape, she will definitely not be able to catch up with you."
"it is good......"
The snake's many eyes stared excitedly at the city, and the cold air it exhaled with its hiss stained the mountains and forests with mottled white frost.
Avina warned, "I know your personalities. But don't get yourself into trouble here. Losing two partners is still a headache for me."
"I understand, I understand..."
..................
..................
“Understood, Your Highness. However, Archmage Merlin has already gone to the outpost, and the prophets have observed a possible spiritual disturbance affecting Evernight Keep. Chief Inquisitor Alexander suggests that you proceed to Crete first…”
“Tell Alexander to keep his distance from those prophets.”
Caroline wiped the cavalry saber on the table, then looked up at the trembling young nobleman and asked, "And what about the Great Guardian? How's your investigation going lately?"
The nobleman in the red silk coat broke out in a cold sweat and said earnestly, "We are keeping an eye on this..."
"Pay attention? I asked you to pay attention? I asked..."
dong dong!
Boom boom boom!
A knock on the door immediately caught Caroline's attention. "Who is it!"
A muffled voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, it's me, Kira. May I come in?"
"Kira? I thought she was some petty thief. Alright, come in."
Caroline chuckled, tiptoed to her cavalry saber, and walked up to the minor nobleman. The nobleman trembled with fear, but Caroline merely glanced at him disdainfully and walked straight toward the door.
Just waiting for the door to open.
Kira, wearing a light red blouse and with long, flowing golden hair, came into view, but what followed was not Caroline's voice, but a blade coming straight at them.
Clang!
The blade plunged fiercely into Kira's white throat, and Caroline was already anticipating the splatter of blood.
"Kira? You're really not acting right. Kira would never call me Your Highness, let alone say anything like 'I can come in.' You lowly commoner, who let you in?"
But the blade pierced her throat as easily as if it were piercing a wad of cotton. Kira dissipated like mist, and Caroline was slightly taken aback.
"A spirit?! How did you get in?!"
The fog solidified again, but Kira remained unmoved, simply staring at Caroline.
The next moment, Kira punched Caroline twice, dislocating and fracturing both of her shoulders. She then kicked her to the ground, took off her shoes, pulled off her socks and stuffed them into Caroline's mouth, grabbed her ankles, and hoisted her onto her back.
