Only three people remained in the ceremony room.

Anne turned directly to Vera and Eleanor and said, "Eleanor, can you take the secret manual to the temple now?"

Vera was still in a daze.

At that moment, Anne's words were like a wake-up call.

Eleanor!

She now understood why Tia had specifically told her, "These secret manuals cannot be left in Eternal Night Keep, otherwise all our collection will have been for nothing."

Tia's purpose in having her bring the tome back to Westburg was not to preserve it, but to give it specifically to Eleanor!

Tia didn't know how Dongya Bahram would target her, but she knew that these prophets would definitely foresee the danger, put her on their threat list, and keep a close eye on her every move.

The prophets were unsure how Tia would hinder their projection of the Star Chart of Destiny, but they knew that regardless of whether it was for Avina or for any old or new grudges, Tia would definitely try to sabotage their projection of the Star Chart of Destiny.

On one hand, there is the need to elevate the sanctuary; on the other hand, there is the need to project a star map.

One seeks to unleash a raging torrent in the deep sea, while the other aims to project a divine artifact into the boundless realm of truth.

The conflict between the two sides is like a powder keg about to explode. Tia is clearly in a relatively weak position. Dongya's death does not hinder the projection of the Destiny Star Chart, but if Tia is trapped, the plan to raise the temple will be ruined.

Therefore, this secret weapon, which even the prophets are unaware of, must absolutely not be kept by their side.

So, where should it stay with the best person?

—Eleanor

When Tia participated in the ritual to remove Eleanor's curse, in order to fill the void connecting Eleanor's soul and the Silver Door, she directly inserted a part of her own temple into it, thus allowing Eleanor to gain partial control of the temple.

This is also why Eleanor and Tia can directly share dolls. If Tia is the Holy God of the Temple, then Eleanor is undoubtedly a demigod.

She can go to the deep sea in Tia's place, reach the temple, put the secret manual into the secret manual catalog, and allow the temple to rise.

When Eleanor heard Anne ask that question, she also came to her senses.

“No major problem…” Eleanor pondered for a moment: “I have the authority of the Temple within me, so I can definitely take the secret text down with me, but it will take some time.”

"Do we need to arrange a ceremony?"

"You need to memorize the secret manual."

How long will it take?

"Oh, four or five hours. It needs to become a memory before it can be taken into the deep sea."

Anne was slightly surprised. "So fast?"

Anne remembered that the secret texts were all quite long, not to mention the Black Sea Book, which had more than 100,000 pages.

Eleanor had seen the secret manual before, so she wasn't surprised. "Oh, it's troublesome to learn it completely. If you just memorize it, you'll forget it very quickly. But if you just take it to the deep sea, it doesn't matter if you forget it."

This is true.

Especially for Eleanor, who has the amplification of the Glass Glow, her innate soul strength is exceptional.

This is also one of the reasons why Tia asked Vera to give the secret manual to Eleanor.

“Then I’ll set up the deep-sea ritual for you, Eleanor, right away. Eleanor, you can start memorizing the text now.” Seeing that Eleanor was fine, Anne turned to Vera, “Then the remaining focus is on you, Vera. You are very important now, and the task is very difficult.”

Vera was a little confused: "Huh? Am I that amazing?"

"That's impressive—because you're the only one with a physical body, right? And you've obtained the power of Valon, which is related to disaster. Vera, you should know that, right?"

"I'm not a primary school student..."

"Hmm, so they're middle school students. Putting that aside, can you use Valon's authority right now?"

"Now?"

“That’s right. According to today’s observation report—I’ll show it to you later—the deep-sea turbulence over the Great Ice Sheet is weakening at an extremely rapid pace. You even alerted Aunt Rasina before you arrived.”

You mean...?

Vera suddenly remembered the holy blood that Tia had specially fed her, and exclaimed in shock.

How can she use one thing for two purposes?!

Did you foresee all of this, Sulph!

Does your family have a lineage of prophets?!

Chapter 535 Avina, the woman who loves to freeload

The prophets are indeed calming the turbulent currents of the deep sea.

But this doesn't come from Tia having some exaggerated prophetic ability, but from very basic logical reasoning.

Dongya Bahram is a fanatical prophet who follows the grand fantasies of the prophets of the Palace of Wisdom throughout the ages. She will surely do her utmost to project the star map of destiny to perfection, otherwise she would not have chosen the Great Ice Plain.

Although the Great Icefield is desolate and uninhabited, projecting star maps within Tianfang's territory is safer. Compared to Tianfang, the Great Icefield's only advantage is its greater distance from the deep sea, allowing for a higher maximum speed when projecting onto the critical layer.

Given her personality, she will definitely calm the deep-sea turbulence before officially projecting the star map.

Based on this judgment, Avina recklessly detonated the Twin Serpents' Sanctuary.

Based on this judgment, Tia decided to use Vera for two purposes, sending her to cause trouble for the prophets.

Vera holds the power of Wallon—the power of Wallon is "natural disaster" and "reversal," which can calm deep-sea turbulence, and naturally can also stir it up.

Although success is not guaranteed, at least it can buy some time.

Sometimes, a delay of just one minute can make or break a situation.

Moreover, Vera's meddling was also a cover for Eleanor.

Dongya Bahram liked to use the same old tricks, and so did Tia. The feint attack always worked.

Anne realized this as well, so she immediately guessed why Tia had specifically asked the unreliable Vera to come back.

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Anne and Tia truly have a deep connection.

"Take the elixir—I also have two bottles of Twin Serpent Eyes here, take them all."

"Oh? I have another bottle here, that should be enough, right?"

Anne pressed a hidden compartment and took out two bottles of eerie green solution from the side of the ceremonial altar. She said without room for doubt, "Take them all. I have Ms. Bernice here, and I will also have Ms. Bernice inform the Empire to be on alert in the deep sea before Eleanor goes deep-sea. Eleanor and I will definitely be fine."

"But Vera, if you stir up the deep-sea currents, you'll definitely attract the Prophet's attention, and then you'll be in great danger. It's always good to bring more."

"Weapons should also be brought along. Although they are just some enchanted firearms, having these will at least give us some ability to fight back if we get injured."

"If you still encounter danger, go to the deep sea, not the temple. It's too far, and you might not be able to get there. Besides, it would be dangerous if you ran into Eleanor. Go to the Moon Tower, or to the Ravens' Sanctuary."

"Willow Grove?"

"Yes, it's Laurel Forest. At least it guarantees safety."

Vera nodded repeatedly, but Anne was still not entirely at ease. She gave Vera her bracelets and necklaces, and also picked out a morning dress for Vera. The elaborate dress was inlaid with various colored gems infused with magic potions and mithril diamonds. There were more than a dozen Sequence 4 and Sequence 5 rituals on the dress.

Vera's outfit was very awkward; the buttons at the back bound her like a hostage, and the obviously ill-fitting bra made her face turn red and she couldn't breathe.

Finally, they simply used a ritual to quickly remove the potion gems and mithril diamonds from the robes, and put on the original, looser black and white priest's robes.

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

Anne worked tirelessly to mobilize all available resources to cooperate with Vera and Eleanor's operations.

Dongya Bahram, accompanied by three prophets, was in the sky above the Great Ice Plains, her figure blurred, when she suddenly appeared behind the fleeing Eye Demon Undying Lord.

The eye demon's optic nerve split into millions of thick tentacles, shooting towards Dongya from all directions like cannonballs, while the six extraocular muscles each lit up with a grayish-white light, converging into a gray rainbow as the eyeball moved.

Dongya was the first to be affected.

But whether it was the rainbow light or the tentacles, before they touched Dongya's body, they quickly and visibly became translucent and illusory, and finally turned into a dissipated spiritual energy in front of Dongya.

Time rewinds.

Dongya's specialty.

The phenomenon of time reversal arises from changing the state of everything one comes into contact with, causing them to move in a state completely opposite to their previous state.

Immediately, the two prophets behind her constructed a spatial lock, and countless silver-white chains attacked from all directions, firmly locking the Eye Demon in all directions.

Another prophet reached out and touched the mithril-enchanted short sword at his waist, performing seven rituals in succession. He then covered the mithril short sword at his waist with seven of the countless future branches that had pierced the optician's spirit body, thereby increasing its power by seven times, its piercing ability, and its guaranteed hit.

Without hesitation, he did so.

After throwing it towards the beholder—

Pfft!

The mithril dagger pierced the eyeball, spilling a patch of grayish-black liquid that evaporated into spirit in mid-air. The eye demon trembled violently, its countless tentacles instantly straightening in mid-air before wildly waving, but it could not break free from the fixed cage of the prophets.

Seeing this, the prophet who threw the mithril sword looked at Dongya respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, the Eye Demon Undying Lord has been captured. Now only the Twin Silver Dragons Arinok and Avina Sulf remain."

"Capture? This eye demon has lived for thousands of years, it's not so easy to catch. It's only because your spatial lock is still in place that it can escape. If the spatial lock is gone, it can escape."

"The multi-headed serpent Palam is also a troublesome opponent. You've severely injured it, but the damage isn't enough. It absorbed some of the twin serpents' power along with Avina, and its regenerative abilities are even stronger than recorded. It won't be long before it makes a comeback."

Dongya chuckled a few times and said, "But it's not a big problem now. Have you caught Avina yet?"

Upon hearing this, the prophet lowered his head in shame and said, "The Star Chart of Destiny is in her hands, and we are still tracking it. However, we have found traces of the multi-headed serpent Palam."

"Okay, then let's take care of Pallam first. Without Pallam and the Undying Lord, Avina can't handle any nodes by herself."

Dongya nodded slowly and asked, "Speed ​​up the work on the deep-sea turbulence a bit. Raise the sanctuary in Wallonia a little more. The turbulence in the deep water has been basically cut off, but the turbulence in the shallow water is still there. Finish it as soon as possible."

"understand!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Dongya descended to the ice field and headed to the prophet camp where the Taurus Palace projected the star map. However, as soon as she arrived at the camp, she saw that the defensive ritual in the camp had just ended not long ago, the prophets in front of the ritual looked exhausted due to excessive spiritual depletion, and there was a strange spiritual fluctuation in the air that had not yet dissipated. Dongya twitched the corner of her mouth.

Speak of Aiviana, and Aiviana will appear.

Unfortunately, she arrived a little too late; Avina had already made her escape. Although she didn't get the better of her, she at least avoided a disaster.

Dongya returned to her tent and turned her gaze back to the nightmare outside her own sanctuary, the "Palace of Wisdom," in the deep sea.

In that nightmare, Tia was still tirelessly trying to break free from it by using language, rituals, and force.

The nightmare was also caused by Tia's frequent use of high-sequence rituals, especially Tia's unique rituals that were completely absent from the nightmare and difficult to record, such as "Sulph School's Transformation Ritual" and "Sulph School's Hermes Aura". This caused the nightmare to be unable to continue, frequently regressing and restarting, and some parts were on the verge of collapse.

However, holding on for another half a day or a day shouldn't be a problem.

Sulph, really... exactly the same.

"It looks like the injuries are quite serious." Dongya looked eastward, locking onto a violently fluctuating spiritual energy, and then raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What? There are more? Where did she find this helper? —Never mind, how's the situation with the deep-sea turbulence?"

Chapter 536 Vera: I Picked Up a Dragon Girl's Family

Entering the ice field zone from the frigid zone, amidst the undulating icebergs and ice pillars, a colossal shadow flaps its dragon wings and swiftly flies over the mountain peaks.

The silver dragon with coiled horns let out a resentful growl from its gaping maw. Carrying the unconscious Avina on its back, it suddenly increased its altitude and then swooped down, heading straight for Eternal Night Fortress.

—The twin silver dragon Arinok is also Aviana's second body, almost one with Aviana.

The only difference is that He is formed from Aviana's flesh and blood, and is a being similar to "Fenrir without a soul," with all His actions driven by Aviana's instincts.

Now that Avina's main body has fallen unconscious, the silver dragon is driven entirely by the momentum left behind by Avina:

If the plan to disrupt the star map projection fails, he will go to the Evernight Fortress and leave all his knowledge, memories, and twin silver dragons, Arinok, to his sister, Tia Sulph.

The prior knowledge and memories are easy to extract; just refine her spiritual essence.

The key is the silver dragon Arianok. If she is drawn into the deep sea by the star map projection ritual, the silver dragon will immediately sever its connection and become a free spirit. Rather than releasing it directly, it would be better to give it to Tia as an inheritance.

Considering that the silver dragon Alynok was transformed from his own physical body, it can be considered as his remains.

Give her your own body so she can play with it when she has nothing to do.

They've been biological sisters for over ten years, after all.

He also left behind some touching last words and a final flashback, a final farewell to his sister.

Then you'll see the cute little sister change her cold face, hold her hand and cry out, "Sister, don't die!" She cries with tears streaming down her face, and then after death, she desperately tries to mold Arianok into her likeness—of course, if you're willing, you can find a pretty and cute little girl spirit to pair with her body.

Holy crap, that makes my life worthwhile!

This is probably what Avina was thinking before she fainted.
