Miss Witch's Forbidden Book Secret

"By the way, are you going home?"

Tia probably knew that Jasmine was probably a spirit transformed from an extraordinary being who had been captured by the spirit in the pot, or perhaps her body had been modified.

Anyway, it was pretty tragic. She had a bright future ahead of her, but she was captured by the Tree Demon Granny and forced to become Nie Xiaoqian.

Even the most hateful person has a pitiable side. Being locked in the magic mirror caused her to become somewhat mentally unstable. Later, when the spirit in the pot was killed by Little Red Gaba, her mental state improved a lot.

However, Tia didn't seem to care much.

She then heard Jasmine say nervously, "I want to go home. I ran away from home to the Land of the Seven Seas, and while I was deep diving, I accidentally fell into a nightmare. Now I regret it a little and still want to go home and see my family."

"If I haven't been home for a long time, I think my parents will worry."

Tia nodded: "Normal parents would worry."

Have you ever had a similar experience?

"Huh? No, I don't have parents."

Tia corrected her, saying, "But it would be troublesome for you to go back like this! If your uncle and aunt are superhumans, it would be fine, but if they are ordinary people, they probably won't even be able to see you. Also, your family is in the Empire, right? There are so many judges in the Imperial Court. It would be very dangerous for a spirit like you to go back."

"I think so too, but I still want to go back and take a look."

Jasmine was a bit stubborn about this, saying, "Besides, it doesn't matter if they can't see me, I can stay with them silently."

Tia didn't try to persuade her further, but said, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to discourage you. I mean I can create a physical body for you, so you'll have a shell when you go back."

"I am an alchemist, and you can completely trust me to make this."

"And you're a young lady from a wealthy family, and a Sequence 5 Prophet, you must have a lot of money, right?!"

Tia is a little short of money lately, and this is a sales pitch.

She originally had enough money, but she went to the Iris Flower Garden to buy various alchemical and occult books. After all, learning always requires buying books, and buying books requires gold coins.

They also had to buy all sorts of outfits, such as the clothes they wore to Brigitte's funeral, which weren't rented.

Although Tia really wanted to rent one, they only sold, not rented, so she gritted her teeth and paid 90 gold coins. There were many more similar cases; while Iris Flower's wages were low, its prices were high!

The 5000 gold coins that Marn paid her for attending the banquet were spent like water. She still had more than 1000 gold coins left.

There are still more than two thousand Ansu gold pounds left, but after adding the expenses for various medicines and essential oils used in the ceremony, the reserve gold left for the Golden Fire and the Light in the Blood is only enough.

But it certainly can't be called well-off.

It's like in that nightmare, Tia stacked so many layers of the Trinity, then used the gold consumed by the Golden Fire and Light in her blood, emptied her entire fortune, and then sold her to Anne and Eleanor to be their slaves for ten years... That's hardly enough...

Marn is unable to repay the money he owes to the Silver Castle Financial Exchange, and Tia is also unable to receive commissions.

That's why she's resorting to deceiving naive young girls to make money again.

"Really?" Jasmine was a little surprised, but also a little scared, mainly because she had seen how Tia lied, so she had a stereotype.

However, it is true that Tia is an alchemist.

Jasmine also knew that alchemists were skilled in things like life transmutation.

Tia said, "I can provide you with a Sequence 7 doll as a body. You can give me a photo or a portrait of the doll, and I'll customize it for you. You can come and pick it up yourself. You can even go to the Empire first; the spirit body can fly back very quickly. You can go directly to Newport to find me."

Jasmine paused, "Where is New York, London, or Hong Kong?"

"Don't you know New Orleans? What about Silver Castle?"

"I know Silver Castle!"

"Okay, then. After you get to Silver Castle, go to the Royal Cathedral. You know that, right?"

"I know."

"Okay, you can go there."

Jasmine said gratefully, "Thank you! Witch, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Anything else that needs to be done?"

"Four thousand gold pounds."

Without hesitation, Tia stretched out her hand and said, "Please give me the money."

Chapter 297 Brigitte's Soul Cutting

Jasmine ultimately didn't pay, after all, it was too much to ask a spirit to pay.

Tia wasn't discouraged and told her she could make it up within a month.

All are happy.

Meanwhile, eighty nautical miles southeast of the "Glory," an armed cargo ship was erecting a barrier to avoid the approaching thunderstorm and the blowing gale, steadily sailing through the waves.

Inside the cabin, Brigitte Montreal opened her eyes and smiled with delight.

Nogi, who had been standing beside her all night, was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open when she asked, "Young Miss, have you completed your ritual...?"

"That's right, Nogi. This time it's been a huge success!"

Snapped!

Brigitte jumped off the fixed chair, her emerald eyes brimming with joy.

This was completely unexpected for her!

She originally only wanted to annoy Santis and see if there was a chance to team up with Furnessa Bonaparte to kill Santis in the nightmare. After all, the nightmare belonged to Ulrich, and they had every opportunity to deal with Santis.

It would be even better if Bonaparte could inherit the Sanctuary, then they could eliminate Santis once and for all.

The first objective was achieved. Although somewhat unexpected, Bonaparte dealt with Santise decisively and efficiently.

Unfortunately, Bonaparte did not inherit the sanctuary in the end.

But that has nothing to do with her.

More important than that is the fact that she actually managed to advance to Prophet 6.

Nogi hadn't slept, and Brigitte's words made her even more dizzy. She asked in a daze, "You mean you've entered an ascension ritual?"

"That's not the point, Nogi! The point is that I'm already King 6. Kings and prophets, especially the Prophets of Revelation, are in conflict, so I didn't plan to advance to Prophet 6. But unexpectedly, through Jeremiah's Sanctuary, I actually managed to advance to these two highly conflicting sequences simultaneously!"

"Look!"

Brigitte opened her hand, and a translucent file appeared in her palm.

Before Noki could react, a sudden headache struck her, and she cried out in pain, nearly collapsing to the ground. Brigitte caught her firmly, and a mirror appeared before her eyes.

The file was inserted into his own skull, stirring up his brain and cutting away at his brain!

The next second, the mirror disappeared, and the file was gone too.

Only Nogi had a terrible headache.

Soul Severing!

This is a transcendent ritual of the Prophet's Path Sequence 5, which can be used to heal the soul's ailments, to torment enemies, and to clear the mind and refresh the spirit.

Finally, you can torture yourself into being a masochist, which is a very useful ritual.

Three hundred years ago, the Iris Flower was an ally of the Celestial Empire during the Iris Flower-Ansu War. The two sides exchanged a great deal of knowledge and technology. To this day, there are still many prophetic lineages originating from the Celestial Empire within the Iris Flower country, which is why Nogi can recognize it.

Brigitte released her and asked, "Are you awake now?"

"I'm awake, I'm awake... But," Nogi said suddenly, "but this is a Sequence 5 ritual, right? Even if you complete the advancement, you'll only be Sequence 6..."

"That's right!"

Brigitte laughed. "That's why I'm so surprised, Nogi!"

"The elements of the prophet permeate my soul, giving me the extraordinary instinct 'soul load' that allows me to forcibly raise the appropriate sequence by one level to perform the ritual."

Of course, she didn't tell Nogi the other half.

"Soul load" is exactly what it sounds like; it means overclocking your soul, and its performance is indeed improved and released.

But don't ask how it was released, or why your brain got so fried.

Furthermore, the Soul Load can only overclock the Soul to Sequence 4 at most. As for the Sequence 3 ritual that has reached the origin—sorry, I can't do it; any more and I'll get dizzy from overclocking.

These are considered flaws. Normally, such extraordinary instincts wouldn't have such serious flaws, but Brigitte's promotion to prophet and her king's conflict were too great.

Brigitte didn't say a word about these things.

The eldest daughter of the Montreal family was excitedly watching the storm and thunder outside the cabin when she suddenly became a little puzzled.

She shook Nogi, who was almost asleep again, awake.

"Young Miss..."

“I have a question, Nogi.”

"Excuse me, may I ask you something?"

"Logically speaking, if Bonaparte wanted to go to sea, she would definitely need a large ship, but I don't think I saw any ships she was preparing to set sail in Mistmoon City. And I haven't seen any merchant ships since leaving the coast of Poliu."

Nogi mumbled, "Miss Bonaparte must have the help of Governor Noel of the Poliu Coast, right? Governor Noel and Mr. Marn have a very good relationship."

"At sea, the sea is vast, it's perfectly normal for there to be no ships, miss..."

Brigitte felt she was overthinking things; after all, she hadn't actually seen Santis's ship. But according to what Lundell had told her, Santis seemed to be with the Twin Serpents cult?

Just as she was thinking this, an alchemist technician came tumbling down from upstairs to maintain the equipment.

The technician warned, "Miss, there's a problem. We've received a warning from the Royal Navy of Ansu, prohibiting us from proceeding further."

Brigitte frowned and asked curiously:

"What's wrong with the Royal Navy? Don't they know this is international waters?"

"That's right, but they didn't issue a forced expulsion order. Instead, they said they were going to surround and attack a group of Twin Serpent Cult ships in the vicinity, and advised us to evacuate to avoid being caught in the crossfire. Moreover, they are approaching very quickly, and are speeding towards us in the thunderstorm."

The technical officer, with a serious expression, asked, "Do we need to evacuate?"

Brigitte realized what was going on.

She had just mentioned Santis, and here he is!

"No need to think about it, let's get going! I don't want to get blown into the sea and become fish food!"

"understand!"

The technician gave a meticulous salute and left.

After he left, Bridget frowned and said, "Santis has been found now."

"But where is Bonaparte... the navy, the navy."

"It can't be the Royal Navy, can it?!"

...........

Twenty-two nautical miles to the northwest, the fleet centered around the battleship "Glory" had approached the more than ten Twin Serpent ships that were fleeing on the other side.

On normal sea surfaces, 22 nautical miles is no longer an observation distance, but rather within firing range.

With the high-precision human fire control assistance of the priests, the Glorious was able to shell targets within 26 nautical miles and was effective in combat within 19 nautical miles.

However, the weather in Suhai, Nan'an is very unusual.

The massive thunderstorm reduced the observation range to less than three nautical miles—as the eldest son of the Mercury family, Lundell knew the tricks of naval warfare and understood that this thunderstorm was a godsend for evacuation at sea.

Moreover, through Jeremiah's sanctuary, his spirit had hidden in the deep sea. Even priests and prophets found it difficult to detect his presence.

Therefore, he never thought that the Ansu Navy could capture him.

Without accurately determining its location, range and caliber are meaningless.

On the ship, Lundl awoke from his serious injuries. Before he could even mourn the crushing defeat in his nightmare, he immediately sent a message to a bishop.

We don't have much time left!

"Change course! No longer heading to the Seven Seas Kingdom, but at full speed to the Imperial Coldwater Port!"

Chapter 298 The Director's True Identity

Anne wrote two lines of dialogue smoothly on the pristine white paper, then tapped her pen tip lightly, pondering for a while the opera script she had just designed.
