Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

With a series of fluid movements, before the nobles in the distance could even cry out for guards, Kira, carrying Princess Caroline, leaped from the window, which was more than ten meters high.

Chapter 503 Strategic Fraud

Splash!

Kira smashed through the window and jumped, leaping dozens of meters into the air in an instant. Soon after, a cacophony of screams and noises erupted from the high-rise clubhouse behind her.

Caroline never expected that her trusted bodyguard "Kira" would be a spirit creature, and a spirit creature from the Great Ice Plains at that!

The chilling air seemed to seep into her very bones, suffocating her. The extraordinary ornaments on her body instantly came to life, emitting beams of divine light.

But the divine light was like a fleeting spark of electricity, instantly extinguished by "Kira" slapping it out with her hand.

Caroline gasped, the cold air seeping through the stocking stuffed in her mouth making her gag.

Her extraordinary accessories have the function of automatically targeting and attacking enemies, and the divine light she emits can dissolve the spirituality and crystallize the flesh and blood of any extraordinary being below Sequence 5 within five seconds.

But the spirit Kira was unharmed; instead, she shattered her extraordinary ornaments with a single slap!

—This must have at least a sequence four.

Carried on her shoulder and swaying back and forth like a sausage or a salted fish, Caroline strained her way back to look:

A blank face, devoid of features except for a single vertical pupil, stared at Caroline.

The Cyclops Gethsah trembled violently, his small body rapidly expanding to four or five meters tall. He darted swiftly through the streets, avoiding obstacles that could turn Caroline into mincemeat, and cried out in fear:

"There is a saint. Your Highness Caroline, there is a saint!"

Caroline choked on the stench from the sock stuffed in her mouth: "Ughhhhhh~"

"What did you say?"

"Pah! It's Alexander—if you don't want to be caught by Alexander, head north."

Caroline was worried that the spirit might go berserk and turn her into mincemeat.

Gesas cried out in terror, "You're not lying to me!"

Caroline calmly said, "Head north. Since you managed to sneak past the Palace of Wisdom to reach Eternal Night Fortress, Alexander certainly won't find you easily. The north is near the Celestial Hall. That's Dongya's residence—"

"I can't beat Dongya!"

"You worthless, lowly spirit! You have no ears... hiss!"

Caroline, interrupted, couldn't help but curse. She instantly felt the grip on her hand tighten, and quickly said, "I mean, Alexander couldn't have guessed you'd go in the direction of the Heavenly Square Guild! Do you have any allies?"

Gesas trembled and said, "I... I can't say."

Caroline: "......"

“If you have allies, let Him come out. I want to talk to Him openly. You can discuss whatever you want.”

"No! I cannot betray the Pisces woman!"

"..."

Before Caroline could ask any more questions, Gesas hoisted her onto his shoulder and ran headlong towards the north of the city. Since spirits have no fixed form, Gesas transformed directly into a wisp of spirit, carrying with it the chill of the wind and shifting aimlessly.

The escape was somewhat similar to how the female demon swept up Tang Sanzang with a gust of demonic wind...

—At least Tia rubbed her eyes, confirming that this was the scene she was seeing. Other extraordinary beings might not be able to see it clearly, but she was far too familiar with spirits. Although she couldn't make out the spirit's features or appearance, as if it were a chaotic mess, she could clearly see the spiritual fluctuations as the spirit moved.

Night Keep is 400 kilometers away from Westerburg, which is neither close nor far. Tia used star antimony and gold to set up the ceremony, and then used space jump after spacetime warped. The journey takes one hour - 55 minutes of which are spent setting up the ceremony.

Because she needed to directly communicate with the Empire, she jumped to a location on Fran Street, not far from the Emperor's Palace. The street was excessively heavily guarded, with soldiers in groups of four every ten meters or so. Under their helmets hung extraordinary goggles with brass frames, and inside the helmets were inscribed rituals for detecting hostility and spiritual checks.

A dozen or so judges, dressed in heavy armor and wearing white priestly robes, emerged from the palace and were taken aback when they noticed Tia.

"Don't go to the guild hall yet, the Pureblood Council has rebelled!"

The judges immediately surrounded Tia, berating her: "Where did you come from, you illegal superhuman? What is your purpose? Are you a traitor to the Pureblood Council? Don't you know that Eternal Night Fortress is under martial law?!"

Tia then pulled out her Anti-Extermination Bureau license, which she had hardly ever used in her life, and handed it over, bewildered, saying, "I am Tia Sulph from Ansu. I just warped in, so my location isn't very accurate. Have you already been attacked by spirits?"

"Saint Sulph?"

The judge took the license and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was true. He immediately patted his chest and apologized, saying, "By the Father of All Things! I am sorry to have disturbed you. I also thank King Ansu, Ms. Bernice, and you for your concern for our side."

He added, "Princess Caroline was attacked at the Royal Hall just half an hour ago."

It's like the princess has been stolen.

Tia guessed that the spirit might be an evil dragon.

The judge quickly added, "However, the problem is not serious. The spirit doesn't seem to intend to harm Her Highness. The prophets predict it's still within the city, therefore Saint Alexandria has declared a temporary state of emergency. Please proceed to the palace..."

It's a lie to say the problem isn't serious; the real concern is that the Ansu people will cause trouble.

The judges know they just stopped Ansu's Iris allies at Eternal Night Fortress. It's hard to say whether Ansu knows this or not; if he does something malicious, turning the princess into spirit food would be disastrous.

“No need,” Tia said bluntly. “I came here to deal with spirits. This matter is probably also related to spirits?”

"this......"

The judge was unsure whether to speak or not, but still didn't want the Anzu to interfere, so he hesitated and said, "Please move to the palace first. I will consult Saint Alexander later."

Seeing this, Tia said no more.

Even the Imperials themselves felt everything was fine, so what else could she say?

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

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

At this very moment, outside a logistics warehouse west of Duke Beetroot Avenue in the southern district of Evernight Keep.

Alexander, with his short, golden hair neatly combed back and a sharply defined face, stood before the tightly sealed warehouse doors, dressed in a black judge's robe embroidered with gold.

The judges behind him quickly organized a ritual sufficient to seal off the entire warehouse. In less than five minutes, a large ritual array covering nearly a thousand square meters was completed.

Alexander sensed the increasingly dense spiritual energy within the warehouse and, confirming that the enemy inside was approaching Sequence Three strength, took a deep breath and abruptly commanded, "Prepare the ritual!"

Twenty-four beams of light, each a hundred meters high, exploded around the warehouse in an instant, slowly rotating around it. Meanwhile, streams of black gas seeped from the warehouse walls, attempting to escape, only to be annihilated by the beams of light.

"Blow open the gate!"

Two more judges prepared explosives, and then there was a loud bang, a huge cloud of smoke rose up, and the dark interior of the warehouse came into view.

But the warehouse was completely empty. Not only were there no spirits or Caroline, but even the steel frame, the goods, and the floor tiles were gone, exposing the soil underneath. There wasn't a single brick left—it was as if someone had completely demolished it, leaving only four walls.

Alexander's face instantly darkened. "Oh no, we've been tricked."

as predicted.

Around Alexander and his party, countless snakes crawled out of all the brick and stone buildings, wooden houses, and even stone houses, whether tall or short.

It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of black snakes of varying lengths covered the entire street, their slime instantly corroding the asphalt road, leaving it riddled with potholes, clearly surrounding them.

Alexander decisively said, "I'll handle this Sequence Four Serpent Demon. The rest of you, go find Princess Caroline. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find her!"

Chapter 504 Avina is searching for Bonaparte

Although both are called "fortresses," Fort Evernight and Fort West are completely different concepts.

The difference between the two is much like the difference between a hamburger and the city of Hamburg. Yongye Fort is a proper border city. Apart from its very backward industrial development and almost no local industry, its scale is similar to that of Ansu's Blackwater Port.

Tia had been drinking tea at the emperor's palace for a short time when she noticed a sudden outbreak of chaotic and unpredictable spiritual energy to the south.

She rang the bell to summon the judge outside the door and asked, "Where did your Saint Alexander go to capture spirits?"

The judge guarding the gate, displaying great professionalism, firmly stated, "Please understand, this is our internal matter..."

"Did you go to the southern district?"

"!!!"

The judge was immediately horrified, and looked at Tia with a newfound fear and respect.

"It seems a battle between superhumans has broken out in the southern part of the city, and the spiritual energy dissipation is quite serious."

"But......"

Tia pointed to her eyes and said, "The ironclad law of the prophet of Holy Number One, what you see is different from what I see. There has indeed been a battle in the south. You can ask your chief judge who stopped me."

"But the spirit that attacked your princess shouldn't be in this direction."

The judge was incredulous and quickly left after saying, "I need to consult my superior."

Tia didn't have to wait long.

Soon, a fourth-rank judge hurried in through the door. He was very burly, wearing a black priest's robe over his armor, looking like a big-bellied judge in a judge's robe.

The presiding judge was somewhat embarrassed when he entered.

He had just refused Tia's help, but now the situation has suddenly reversed, and he has no choice but to bite the bullet and beg her.

The presiding judge first apologized repeatedly, then earnestly said, "Saint Sulph, we desperately need your help now. We are willing to offer everything within our power to find Princess Caroline!"

Tia sipped her tea and said, "Sir, I wouldn't dare. I am the Evil Saint of Ansu. If I ruin your plans, I'm finished."

"Don't dare!"

The presiding judge was terrified and somewhat regretful, and wanted to find a way to salvage the situation.

Seeing this, Tia didn't continue to argue and said directly, "Alright, alright. Your princess is probably in the North District, in the direction of the prophets. I saw her with my own eyes, but I can't say whether she has left Eternal Night Fortress."

"As for the conditions you mentioned, let Caroline tell me herself when the time comes. But this is the minimum requirement: if we capture the rioting spirit, hand over control of the spirit to me. That shouldn't be too demanding."

This requirement is indeed not unreasonable.

However, it's somewhat inappropriate for a presiding judge to grant such a request. Even if he is a fourth-ranking official in the empire, a high-ranking figure in the court, he cannot be said to represent the royal family.

However, given the urgency of the situation, the presiding judge readily agreed.

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

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

On the other side, at the Tianfang Guild Hall.

The prophets are having a terrible headache because of the spirits that keep coming to bother them.

The previous attempts by those spirits were all superficial, lasting only one round before fleeing, much like the rebels in the Tianfang Mountains. Therefore, the prophets did not take them too seriously.

After all, those spirits weren't much of a threat. They had actually fought each other in the Great Ice Plains before! Nine against five! The spirits, fighting individually, suffered a crushing defeat. Thousands of spirits, if they were superhumans, would have been enough to wreak havoc on any city, but these spirits only managed to severely injure one Sequence Four and kill two Sequence Sixes.

And then, that was it.

In addition, the spirits had not achieved much success in the previous encounters, so the prophets' vigilance was gradually weakened. They did not expect that the wolf would actually come this time.

Inside the guild hall, several Sequence 4 prophets sat on either side of the conference table, engaged in a lively discussion.

Dongya, biting into a biscuit, said, "No need to look anymore. The spirit's aura has been concealed."

"The only question now is: Is it Avina who is behind this?"

With a crunch, Dongya bit into the biscuit, narrowed her eyes, and looked ahead, saying, "If she uses the Pisces star chart to conceal the fate of these spirits, you won't be able to find them even if you drain the star chart dry."

The prophets were immediately speechless.

This guess is probably true.

Because they had absolutely no way of knowing anything about the spirit that attacked Princess Caroline. The only breakthrough was Princess Caroline, but she too was shrouded in the fate of the spirit, her destiny shrouded in mystery.

The prophets repeatedly arranged rituals to glimpse the future, but they only obtained fragments of information.

Dongya continued, "And if she used the Pisces star chart, then she should have already left the Great Ice Plains."

One of the prophets' expressions changed, and he said, "Then her target must be the star map, we..."

"No need. There's no need to stop her."

Dongya chuckled and said, "Didn't I already tell you to send the star maps back to the Great Ice Plains?"

"But the star chart protected by Aries is still missing—"

"That was specially prepared to be given to her."

Dongya interrupted, "If she can't get the star map, then the turbulence she created in the deep sea using the Sanctuary and the Pisces star map will continue to expand. How long did it originally take us to project the star map? Speak!"

The prophets all looked terrified and bowed their heads.

"Eight hundred and ninety years."
