Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

Gesas felt even more frightened.

This time, He was transformed from a spirit into a human being of flesh and blood, and He felt immense pain, especially during the part where flesh and blood were generated from the spirit. He almost thought He had fallen into heaven and was being roasted by holy light!

Fortunately, things felt much better after the ritual, and the feeling of falling in the deep sea disappeared. My soul felt very relaxed, almost like I could fly.

"My lord! Is it safe?" Gessar asked anxiously.

Tia thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I haven't done it yet, who knows?"

Gesas immediately backed down.

"I... I don't want to be a spirit anymore! I don't want to be a spirit anymore! Being human is great!"

"Suit yourself."

Tia didn't insist.

She first set up a deep-sea diving device in the ceremony room, and then, when the water pressure rose, she dived into the deep sea.

After falling 30,000 meters and crossing the critical layer, they soon arrived at the banquet hall of the inverted temple.

Soon after, Anne, Vera, and Eleanor arrived one after another.

Seeing Tia solemnly invite everyone to the sanctuary, Vera mumbled in a daze, "I'm still saving lives, why are you in such a hurry?"

Anne said speechlessly, "Vera, you just threw two quick heals on, and the skill level was terrible. Even the healing rituals of the Sequence 8 specialists are better than yours."

"I am the Pope! Who needs the Pope to heal them?"

"Then why did you go and make things worse?"

"I figured it was just to gain some reputation, and besides, I haven't graduated yet. You get credits for being recognized as a healer."

Vera High School didn't receive the Outstanding Graduate Award from a church school, but now she's obsessed with being an Outstanding Graduate at Saint Laurent.

Tia smiled and said, "We can talk about the credits later. Vera, I have a more important task for you."

Vera asked blankly, "How heavy?"

Does saving the world count?

"Gah?"

Vera wanted to lean in and put her finger in Tia's mouth to check her temperature, to see if the little black-haired girl had a fever.

The black-haired girl straightened up slightly and said, "I have a basic understanding of the prophet's purpose. They came to project a star map of destiny onto the Great Ice Plains. And the spirits on the Great Ice Plains are being directed by my own sister, Avina Sulf, to obstruct the prophet's projection of the star map of destiny. She detonated the Ouroboros Sanctuary in the deep sea, causing the deep-sea turbulence to rise, attracting the spirits to the material world and disrupting the projection plan."

"At the same time, with the completion of the Conversion Ritual, I plan to replace the Conversion Ritual's Laws with the functions of the Sanctuary."

Vera, a professional nun, knew the Sanctuary best. She frowned slightly and said, "If we want to have an impact on reality, the only way is to raise the Sanctuary's status. But raising it..."

"The Ascendant will definitely affect the projection of the Destiny Chart."

Anne added one last sentence to Vera, and immediately realized that the situation was becoming serious.

Eleanor had already sensed what the group meant, and said softly, "Oh, kill."

Chapter 519 The Supreme Mage's Life Hangs by a Thread

What to do? Only kill.

To complete the transformation rituals that still need improvement or optimization, such as the derivation of flesh and blood and the transformation of humans into spirits, one must kill—kill the spirits.

To raise the temple to a shallow level and ensure it can replace the Lawful Spell, we must kill—kill Dongya.

To rescue Avina from the siege and life-or-death crisis, we must kill her, kill the prophet.

Anne hesitated and felt a pang of guilt; that was her nature. But Anne was simply kind, not blind.

Putting everything else aside, Wisdom Palace has conflicts with almost everyone involved, including Anne.

Anne's tutor, the stonemason Ibn Musa, is being hunted by the combined forces of the Assassins' Court and the Palace of Wisdom, and his warrant for his arrest has not yet been lifted.

Vera went to the Seven Seas, but was thwarted by the Prophet. The Prophet's deal with the Council of Six almost cost her her life in the Gem Island Chain.

Tia and the prophet had many conflicts and clashed several times.

As for Eleanor, needless to say, she was directly used as a sacrifice by the "golem" Amir.

After clarifying the prophets' purpose, the four quickly devised a countermeasure.

Just as Eleanor was about to enthusiastically declare that she was about to go on a killing spree, Tia and Anne said in unison, "Eleanor, you have to stay in Westerburg, you can't go anywhere."

Eleanor: (???*)

Anne looked at Tia and said firmly, "Bring the snake medicine. You must bring it. I'll stay in Westerburg to keep an eye on Eleanor."

"No problem."

Tia agreed with the decision.

Anne herself is not a combat-oriented person, and it would be more troublesome if she rashly appeared on the front line.

Tia then looked at Vera, "Vera, come with me to Eternal Night Castle."

Vera pointed to herself, a hint of self-doubt in her voice, and said weakly, "Me?"

"You need to have confidence in yourself! I believe in you! Red-haired saintess with huge breasts, Big Sister!"

"I lack confidence in myself!"

Vera thought to herself, "Besides, I'm only at Sequence Five so far, so the power I can exert is quite limited, isn't it?"

Tia said, "Theoretically speaking, your power is limitless."

"Are you kidding me!"

“As long as I bring the Sanctuary up, or project the Temple around you, you can directly borrow my power, and with the Valon Authority, you can reach Sequence Three.”

This is not an exaggeration.

However, this is a special case for Vera; she is the only one who is a physical vessel...

When Annie came, she was completely filled with Tia's spirituality. The two of them had conflicting elements, and their relationship exploded like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Eleanor fared better because Tia sealed the void in her soul with the temple, granting her a portion of the temple's authority. However, unlike Vera, she didn't act as naturally and could only gain some power within the temple.

After discussing their strategy, the group didn't linger in the temple.

Tia returned to the material world and first went to Annie to ask for the snake medicine "Twin Serpent Eyes." She took one bottle, but Annie forced two more on her, saying she had more.

Actually, Anne originally had five bottles, but she gave one to Vera to save her life on her journey to the Land of the Seven Seas, and another to Ms. Bernice to recuperate.

It must be said that Annie's investment was very successful.

One vial of potion landed the Mercury family a pope, another vial landed them a foreign minister. It's a win-win situation; they're practically geniuses.

After obtaining the Twin Serpent Eyes, Tia took Vera to the village at the foot of the mountain. Ms. Bernice and more than thirty anti-suppression agents were there, wearing protective gear and carrying enchanted firearms.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau is just going through the motions; everyone in the world knows that there aren't many superhumans in Ansu.

The main force still relies on Tia and Bernice.

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

On the other side, at Eternal Night Fortress, the emperor's palace and sleeping quarters.

The Sorcerer Supreme, Grand Chancellor Merlin of Windsorstone, who was lying on the bed, was covered in wounds; he had no hair, his skin was ulcerated, and he had severe inflammation all over his body.

There was also a spiritual force surging within his body, constantly damaging his internal organs.

That's still okay; what's worse is that Merlin's curse prevents his wounds from healing on their own.

The doctors and druids were at a loss as to what to do about Merlin's body. Almost all the medications became ineffective after entering Merlin's body, and they could only perform basic cleaning and disinfection to alleviate the injuries.

Meanwhile, the doctors and druids, sweating profusely from their work, retreated to the outside of the palace to take turns resting, whispering among themselves outside the door.

"You guys don't have any solutions either? You're superhumans!"

“Chairman Merlin’s injuries are too severe. Our potions can only slow down the damage—but there are still remnants of the spirit attack in the Grand Chancellor’s body, so our potions are completely ineffective.”

"We can only wait for Saint Alexander to arrive, but even Saint Alexander probably can't do anything. We'll need at least a Sequence 3 Grail Saint. Or some extraordinary item would also work."

"What should we do?!"

"Where's Ms. Bernice? Help her!"

"Shh! Don't talk about the Ansu people."

"Stop shushing me! If you don't save me, I'm going to lose my head!"

“I mean, Princess Catherine has arrived.”

The corridor fell silent instantly.

Katrin, leading Alexander and a group of judges, stormed into the corridor, glancing at the previously noisy group of doctors and druids.

They all immediately lowered their heads, not daring to say another word.

Katrin asked, "How is Speaker Merlin doing now?"

A druid stepped forward to explain, "It's dangerous. Speaker Merlin's body is incredibly resilient, still resisting the remnants of the spirit within his physical form, but..."

He took a deep breath and said, "But the Speaker is heavily cursed. Even if the spiritual remnants in his body are quelled, there may be unfortunate consequences due to the backlash of the curse."

"Save the Grand Chancellor's life first, as for the rescue—Your Excellency Alexander!"

"Your Highness."

Catherine raised her hand to Alexander and said, "Notify the Inquisition to seek help from Ansu and the Holy Kingdom. Do everything in your power to save Grand Chancellor Merlin's life."

Alexander wavered slightly, then said, "Sulph and Saint Bernice of Ansu are about to arrive at Eternal Night Castle."

"I want to personally host them."

"Furthermore, what factors led to Merlin's current predicament?"

“An ancient bewitching demon, a multi-headed serpent that previously attacked Eternal Night Fortress, two industrial gods, and two demons that have been roaming since the Great Plague Era.”

"Not just these! And not just spirits! Your Excellency Alexander. I ask you again, what are the factors that led Saint Merlin into this predicament?"

Alexander remained silent for a moment.

But Catherine remained unconvinced.

He said helplessly, "And there's also Donya Bahram, and all the prophets of the Wisdom Palace that she represents."

"Issue an arrest warrant!"

Chapter 520 Stepping into a Trap

When Tia arrived at Evernight Fortress, it was already 9 p.m., but Evernight Fortress was still shrouded in white night. That's how it is in the Arctic Circle; the sun rises at 2 or 3 a.m., but doesn't set until midnight.

The emperor's palace was still brightly lit. A biting wind, carrying a few snowflakes, whistled through the cracks in the windows. It was so cold that even with the fireplace lit, Vera was still shivering.

Shortly thereafter, Crown Princess Catherine of the Holy Solomon Empire went to the audience hall to meet with Tia and Lady Bernice.

After a few pleasantries, Ms. Bernice got straight to the point: "Your Highness, what exactly happened to you? Although I have some unspeakable matters with Archmage Merlin, the situation on the Great Icefield is very complicated right now, and I really hope he can recover. But how did things turn out like this?"

Upon hearing this, Catherine suppressed her emotions, gripped the armrest of the throne, and said sharply:

"Madam, who else could have caused this mess? Those treacherous prophets! The Empire has completely misjudged them. These prophets have only one goal from the beginning: their unwavering grand plan to change destiny!"

"Just yesterday, Prophet Guzar personally approached the Grand Councilor with the orders of the Great Prophet Dongya Bahram, requesting that the forward outposts and the Prophet join forces to attack the spirits in the Ice Plains! As soon as they entered the Ice Plains, the Grand Councilor was attacked by those spirits! Six spirits had entered or approached the Saint's Domain! Those heretics from the Heavenly Realm have already colluded with the spirits! This is clearly a trap!"

"Blessed by the Father of All Things! The Grand Chancellor is now at least alive. If the Grand Chancellor were to die on the Ice Plains, those heretics of the Celestial Empire would be the first to lose their heads!"

Bernice and Tia exchanged a surprised glance.

What does it mean that the prophets of the Wisdom Palace and the spirits are in cahoots? Aren't these two sides fighting to the death and refusing to give way to each other?

What's going on here...?

Tia didn't understand the hidden story, but seeing that Katarina was angry, she didn't say much and said directly, "In any case, Your Highness, we have to go to the Great Ice Plains first. And the spirit riots there are still ongoing, aren't they?"

"Thank you for your help! And of course, thank you, Saint Sulph."

Katarina, seeing Tia's words, slightly suppressed her temper. "The Great Icefield riot has been going on for a full day, and we do indeed urgently need your assistance. However, I have already consulted with the Glass Palace, and at most one or two more days, the Tribunal's support troops will arrive."

A day or two isn't much time.

Seeing that Tia and Bernice both agreed, Katrin breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Before you two leave, I have one more request."
