Age of Adepts

Normal astrological rituals are located at the top of the witch tower.

Standing on the highest level of the Tower of Destiny, looking out, there is no visual impediment at all. Because the walls of the tower become fully transparent when the astrological ritual begins to operate. Whenever the night falls and the stars shine, it looks extraordinarily quiet and deep, with a strange feeling of stargazers also embedded in the endless sky.

There are no magic facilities or stargazing props in the vast space of nearly a thousand tsubos. Some of them are just cumbersome precision symbolic lines, magic hubs, star symbols surrounding the entire huge space, floors, heavenly domes...

In the eyes of many divine prophets, astrology has always been the most accurate and effective form of witchcraft in all types of astrology. However, because astrological rituals require the cooperation of astrolabes, they also need to follow a set of fixed astrological processes, which also drain considerable resources. So instead of the necessary moments, nobody prefers astrological rituals to easier methods such as turtle armor and tarot cards.

In general, astrology is more akin to mapping a long river of destiny.

Although it is a short one, there is no omission and no confusion.

It can tell the prophet where the potential is, where the problem lies, and the general path to the future… but it is also necessary for the prophet himself to make an informed decision on how to choose.

Means such as Tarot cards can only help the prophet to see a piece or scene of the future, so that he can understand the culprit of a certain moment. Such a peek into the future can easily go to the opposite side of fate due to a lack of cause and subsequent changes in the way things are interpreted.

So in order to understand more fully what was happening in the Dark Witch camp, and to avoid her slight actions affecting Grandma Ndo, Alice naturally chose astrology.

A minute later, Alice, who had already bathed and dressed, walked into the astrolabe with a gust of incense and wind.

Alice Mortimer stands just below the dome of the circle, which is also at the very core of the huge, dense array of witches on the floor. As she raised her palms opposite her chest, this mysterious witch formation centered around her immediately transmitted a blue light and quickly infected the entire hall.

Clarity of heart, Alice first completed a brief meditation and embedded herself in the vast starry sky. Above the distant dome, several of the brightest stars flashed suddenly, returning a silk response, and thin but pure star power passed through the almost non-existent dome, slowly falling into her body.

Alice's witchcraft rose slowly, and the blue glow dyed almost the entire astrology hall into a giant sapphire. And Alice immersed herself in this blue ocean, with the power of the stars that shoot the stars of the Deer Constellation, her thoughts follow the power of the blood in her body and extend indefinitely somewhere in the distant sky.

As if the mind had suddenly escaped the bondage of the flesh * body, Alice felt so relaxed and indulgent at this moment. Her mind suddenly had no restraint whatsoever, wrapped in the power of starlight, following that traction of blood force, suddenly crossed the endless ocean of stars, and suddenly came to a mysterious area...

…………

Neo Valley.

East of the River Quesari, near an area of Mount Lerion.

A tall black wizard tower stands silently in a quiet valley surrounded by mountains.

All over the Wizard Continent, the pure black Wizard Tower, this is the only one!

Its appearance, though not strange, floats strangely in a blurry shadow. Even during sunny days, when you stand in the valley, the towers you see are black and white and have a rather strange shape.

It seems that this black tower does not stand in the wizard world, but rather is a projection of an unknown tower left in the shadow.

As for the creatures and plants in the valley, the gray flutters are all the more boring. On them you see no living colours of life except black and white, and the grey shadows of the heavens and the earth.

And here, the Dark Sorceress's original tall tower, the Black Realm.

Alice's spiritual consciousness was engulfed by the power of the stars and the meteors crashed into the black world, suddenly appearing in a jail on the third level beneath the witch tower.

It's a prison, but it's a 3 square meter stone room.

Numerous chains filled with symbols penetrated the wall, securely locking an old witch in the center of the stone chamber with a shaped ricket. A dark old oil lamp sits on a mossy stone wall wooden shelf, and a faint flame the size of yellow beans, instead of illuminating the stone chamber, makes it full of shaky shadows everywhere.

In this strange tower of darkness, the colors of brilliance and flame are gray, an intense palpitating gray!

‘Alice' opened her eyes and looked at this grey world, at the familiar figure locked in, couldn't help but stretch out trembling hands with poisonous and thin faces, and the anger of her heart burst out uncontrollably.

Perhaps it senses this unusual fluctuation that should not have appeared here, and the oil lamp on the stone wall wooden shelf suddenly beeps continuously sparking.

The next second, two strange shadows drilled out of the shadow of the stone chamber.

Dark shadows creep, smoky dark matter spells out the appearance of two shadow witches.

Their entire bodies are hidden in the thick darkness, and their general contours can only be distinguished by slight chromatic aberrations. Their faces were like a thick black veil, blurred and blind.

“What's going on?” A dark witch headed by carefully examined the entire stone chamber and found no abnormality: “Why is a strange soul suddenly perceived here? Did someone really sneak in here? ”

“I think you're suspicious!” Another dark witch said with all due respect: "Maybe it's something that's changed over there in Shadow Kingdom, so it's affecting us, right? Now is the time when the black mystery and the Shadow Nation coincide, and it is normal for some problems to arise. ”

“It's better to be careful! Endo was personally ordered to be arrested by Chief Cersei. Though we don't know what she did, a first-degree witch was ordered by the chief herself, pointing out that we had to be careful to keep her in the dark! ”

“All right, all right! I'm going to notify the Sisters of Shadow Nation to see if there's anything unusual there. This makes it easy to find out where the problem is! ”

“Well, you go! I'm here to watch. Someone in the province snuck in. ”

In other words, a dark witch's body dissolved suddenly and her breath mysteriously disappeared from the stone chamber.

Cersei?

Commander Cersei gave the order directly!

Alice, re-wrapped in spiritual consciousness, is like an immaterial ghost, floating in a stone chamber, watching what happens in front of her. When her spiritual consciousness is calm and waveless, all of it shrinks into the stars, even if she crashes into the dark witch's body and makes a full "intimate contact" with her, the other party doesn't even realize it.

And when the word 'Cersei', with its strange power of destiny, rolled over Alice's head, her body shook suddenly and was led by a force to storm in the black tower, the next moment suddenly hung in a mysterious and strange secret chamber.

This is a typical witchcraft altar!

On a grey stone table, stands a tall black figure and a strange mirror in the form of a flame.

In the dark glow of the shadows, the faintly visible subtle textures are transmitted from the smooth mirrors, forming a magnificent and cumbersome array of witches. This is not a common five- or six-man sorority, but rather a complex array of patterns and symbols staggered and connected to each other, forming a circular sorority with complex ray points, bearing the deepest and darkest shadow in the center of the sorority.

That dark image is a living creature hovering around in a witch's array, aggregating into a giant, pristine crystal with a bloody red crystal and a purple stripe at the center. With the light flowing, this shadow is like a giant beast's eyes open in the void, silently looking at everything around it.

And when Alice suddenly appeared, it was the moment for that tall, black figure on the altar to communicate silently with the eyes of the giant beast!

Overshadowed by black shadows, the tall shadow reflects twisting bright black spots that do not reveal the appearance of the clothes. But the figure is quite skinny and seems to be a woman. And when Alice's gaze focused on her, a pair of eyes lit up like a searchlight immediately followed her, followed by a roar that shook the entire heavens and earth:

“Who? Who is there? ”

Alice leaned back and looked like she had been hit in the head. Her eyes, ears, mouth and nose were bleeding at the same time. Her mental consciousness sounded "buzzing...” and the image in front of her instantly broke.

At that moment, Alice felt as if she had suddenly hit a high wall while rushing at speed, and her whole mental consciousness was numb and difficult to control. And what's even scarier is that that layer of starlight wrapped around her outside of her spiritual consciousness is disappearing at a flaming rate.

The next moment, the scene in front of us starts to retreat rapidly, and everything around us becomes a strip of unrecognizable speckled colors and lines. The whole vision started spinning wildly, making her feel uncomfortable feeling dizzy and vomiting.

A distant familiar voice crying out to her...

Alice sat up on the floor, her loose eyes starting to focus a little bit.

“Okay, well, you're finally awake...” Helen the Magic Elf sounds in her ear: “What exactly did you see through the astrological ritual? How did it suddenly fall down? ”

Alice wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth and squeezed a smile out of Helen's face with her hands holding Jojosen's sore head after she had suffered extreme mental loss.

“I'm fine! This astrology was a success! ”

“Success? Then why did you suffer backlash?” Pokémon obviously don't understand.

“'Cause I don't have the strength to be part of some high-ranking conspiracy game! ”

“How high? ”

“At least 4 steps high! ”

“Pfft…”

The curious elf was wiped out and Alice stood up with her head trembling with her hands and walked to the entrance to the Astronomy Hall.

As she approached the door, she suddenly turned back and looked silently at the blue glow, which had not yet dissipated.

I won't let you conspire! Hmm, we'll see...
