The usual astrological ceremonies will be located on the top floor of the Witch Tower.

Standing on the highest floor of the Destiny Tower and looking out, there will be no visual obstruction at all. Because the tower wall will transform into a fully transparent state after the astrology ceremony starts. Whenever the night falls and the stars are shining brightly, this place looks extraordinarily quiet and deep, and there is a strange feeling of inserting stargazers into the endless starry sky.

There are no magical facilities or stargazing props in the vast space of nearly 1,000 square meters. There are only complicated and precise rune lines, magic hubs, and star symbols densely covering the walls, floors, and sky of the entire huge space...

In the eyes of many magic stick prophets, astrology has always been the most accurate and most effective witchcraft among all kinds of divination. However, since the astrology ceremony requires the cooperation of the astrology station, it also needs to be carried out according to a fixed set of astrology procedures, which consumes a lot of resources. Therefore, when it is not necessary, no one is willing to use astrological rituals. Instead, they prefer to use simpler methods such as tortoise shells and tarot cards.

In general, astrology is more like drawing a map of the river of fate.

Although it is only a short paragraph, there is no omission or confusion.

It can tell the prophet where the potential is, where the problem is, and the approximate path to the future... But how to choose, the prophet must make a wise decision.

However, methods such as Tarot cards can only help the prophet to glimpse a certain segment or scene in the future, so that he can understand the good or bad of a certain moment. Due to the lack of causes and subsequent changes in the future glimpsed in this way, it is easy to go to the opposite of fate due to errors in interpretation.

Therefore, in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of everything that happened in the camp of the dark witches, and to prevent her rash actions from affecting Grandma Endor, Alice chose astrology as a matter of course.

A quarter of an hour later, Alice, who had already bathed and changed, walked into the astrologer with gusts of fragrant wind like fire.

Alice silently stood directly under the circular dome, which was also the core of the huge and dense witch array on the floor. As her palms were facing each other and raised in front of her chest, the mysterious witch formation centered on her immediately emitted azure light, and quickly infected the entire hall.

To clarify her mind, Alice first completed a short meditation, embedding her mind into the deep and vast starry sky. On the distant sky, several brightest main stars flickered suddenly, and sent back a slight response. The thin but pure star power passed through the almost non-existent dome, and slowly sank into her body.

The witch formation under Alice's feet rose slowly, and the blue glow almost turned the entire astrology hall into a huge sapphire. And Alice was immersed in this blue ocean, with the help of the star power of the main star of the Sagittarius constellation, her thoughts and feelings followed the traction of the power of blood in her body, and stretched infinitely towards a certain place in the distant sky.

It was as if the mind suddenly broke free from the shackles of the flesh * body, Alice felt so relaxed and indulged at this moment. Her mind suddenly lost any restraint, wrapped in the power of the stars, following the traction of the power of the blood, she crossed the endless ocean of stars in a daze, and suddenly came to a mysterious place...

...

Naio Valley.

To the east of the Kesali River, a region near Mount Releon.

In a quiet valley surrounded by mountains, a tall black wizard tower stands silently.

Throughout the wizarding continent, the pure black wizarding tower is the only one!

Although its appearance is not very strange, it is floating in a layer of vague shadows strangely. Even on a sunny day, if you stand in the valley, the towers you can see are only black and white, and their shapes are quite distorted and weird.

It seems that this black tower does not stand in the wizarding world, but a projection of an unknown tower in the shadow plane left here.

As for the creatures and plants in the valley, they are even more dusty and lifeless. You can't see any vivid colors of life on them, only black and white, and the overwhelming gray shadows.

And here is the original high tower of the Dark Witch—the Black Secret Realm.

Alice's spiritual consciousness was enveloped by the power of the stars and crashed into the black secret realm like a shooting star, and suddenly appeared in a prison on the third basement floor of the Wu Tower.

It is said to be a prison, but it is actually just a stone room with a size of 3 square meters.

Countless chains studded with runes passed through the wall, locking a crooked witch with an old face firmly in the center of the stone room. A dim and old oil lamp was placed on the moss-covered wooden frame of the stone wall. The weak flame the size of a soybean not only failed to illuminate the stone chamber, but filled the place with swaying shadows.

In this strange dark tower, whether it is the rune glow or the color of the flames, they are all gray, a kind of rich gray that makes people feel daunted!

'Alice' opened her eyes, looked at this gray world, and looked at the familiar figure who was locked up. She couldn't help stretching out her trembling hands to hold the thin face of the poisonous woman Endo. The anger in her heart was overwhelming. Suppressed vigorously.

Perhaps sensing the abnormal fluctuations that should not have appeared here, the oil lamp on the wooden frame on the stone wall suddenly burst into sparks beeping beeping.

In the next second, two strange black figures emerged from the shadow of the stone chamber.

The black shadow squirmed, and the smoky dark matter formed the appearance of two shadow witches.

Their entire bodies are hidden in the thick darkness, and their outlines can only be discerned through slight color differences. Their faces seemed to be covered with a thick layer of black veil, which was so blurry that they couldn't see their faces clearly.

"What's going on?" A dark witch in the lead carefully inspected the entire stone room, but found nothing abnormal: "Why did I suddenly sense a strange soul breath here? Could it be that someone really sneaked in here just now?"

"I think you are suspicious!" Another dark witch said nonchalantly: "Maybe something happened in the shadow kingdom, which affected us here? Now is the period when the black secret realm and the shadow kingdom overlap. Some problems are normal."

"It's better to be careful! Endor was arrested by the leader of Circe himself. Although I don't know what happened to her, but a level 1 witch was personally ordered by the leader, and she was imprisoned in the dark secret realm , we can't help but be careless!"

"Okay, okay! I'll inform the sisters in the shadow kingdom to see if there is anything abnormal there. This way it will be easy to find out where the problem is!"

"Well, you go! I'll be guarding here, in case someone sneaks in."

After saying that, the body of a dark witch suddenly dissolved, and her breath mysteriously disappeared from the stone room.

Circe

It turned out to be an order directly issued by the leader of Circe!

Alice, who had rewrapped her spiritual consciousness, was like a disembodied ghost, floating in the stone room, watching everything that happened in front of her silently. When her spiritual consciousness was calm and unwavering, and she was completely huddled in the starlight, even if she bumped into the body of that dark witch and had an 'intimate contact' with her in all aspects, the other party would not notice it at all.

And when the word 'Cersey' imbued with the power of strange destiny rolled across Alice's heart, her body suddenly trembled, and was dragged by a force to dash forward in the black tower, and suddenly suspended in the next instant In a mysterious and strange secret room.

This is a typical witchcraft altar!

On the gray stone platform, stood a tall black figure and a strange mirror in the form of flames.

In the dim light, faintly visible subtle textures are transmitted from the smooth mirror surface, forming a grand and cumbersome witch array. This is not a common five-pointed or six-pointed witch array, but a variety of complex patterns and runes interlaced and connected to each other, forming a ring-shaped witch array with complicated points of light, supporting the witches. The group of deep shadows in the center of the array.

That mass of dark image was like a living thing hovering in the witch formation, merging into a huge prismatic crystal, the crystal was blood red, and there was a purple stripe in the center. As the light flowed, this group of shadows was like the eyes of a giant beast opening in the void, silently scanning everything around.

And when Alice suddenly appeared, it was the moment when the tall black figure on the altar and the eyes of the giant beast communicated silently!

The tall figure was shrouded in black shadows, revealing twisting and twisting dazzling black spots, making it impossible to see clearly the appearance of the clothes. However, the figure is quite slender and slender, which seems to be a woman. And when Alice's eyes focused on her, a pair of eyes as bright as searchlights immediately followed and projected over, followed by a roar that shook the entire world:

"Who? Who's there?"

Alice leaned back, her head seemed to have been slammed by someone, blood was pouring out of her eyes, ears, nose, and mouth at the same time, her spiritual consciousness let out a "hum..." vibration, and the image in front of her was instantly shattered.

At that moment just now, Alice felt as if she had bumped into a high wall head-on when she was running at a high speed, and her entire mental consciousness was so numb that she couldn't control herself. What's even more frightening is that the layer of starlight wrapped around her spiritual consciousness is disappearing at a detonation speed.

The next moment, the scene in front of him began to recede rapidly, and everything around him became unrecognizable mottled color blocks and lines. The entire field of vision began to spin crazily, making her feel dizzy and nauseous.

A distant familiar voice is calling her faintly...

Alice sat up from the floor suddenly, her slack eyes began to focus a little bit.

"Okay, okay, you finally woke up..." The voice of the magic elf Helen rang in my ears: "What did you see through the astrology ceremony? Why did you suddenly collapse?"

Alice wiped away the blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth, holding her head that was throbbing with exhaustion of mental power, and forced a smile for Helen.

"I'm fine! This horoscope was a success!"

"Successful? Then why do you still suffer backlash?" The elf obviously didn't understand.

"Because I overestimated myself and participated in the conspiracy game of some high-ranking powerhouses!"

"How tall?"

"At least as high as Tier 4!"

"Cha..."

After sending away the curious elves, Alice stood up tremblingly with her head in her hands, and walked towards the entrance of the astrology hall with difficulty step by step.

When approaching the door, she suddenly turned her head and silently scanned the blue light that had not yet dissipated.

I will not let your scheme succeed! Hmph, wait and see...
