"Yo, you really came."

When Sophie Sophie Liya's consciousness descended to the side of that believer along the connection of faith power, the moment she opened her eyes, she heard a voice beside her saying this.

The pure white Witch was startled. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a handsome man standing at the door of the room, waving hello to her with a smile.

"Eldest Miss?"

Although it was the first time she had seen this man, she inexplicably felt a familiar aura from him. She frowned slightly, then asked this.

"Ah, this, can you even recognize me like this?"

The man also raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

Hearing the man admit it, Sophie Sophie Liya breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head to look at the dressing table in front of her.

When she was just descended, this female believer in her 20s was dressing up. The pure white Witch looked in the mirror, and it reflected a face that could be considered pretty among mortals, but the makeup on the face was too charming, which made her frown slightly.

She had always preferred light makeup, so such heavy makeup made her a bit unaccustomed. However, since it was someone else's body, she didn't force it and started to finish the other half of the makeup in the mirror.

"How did you find me?"

While applying makeup, Sophie Sophie Liya asked with some confusion.

Her descent this time was completely on a whim, and the believer she descended into was also randomly chosen. But even so, she could be found by the Eldest Miss, which really made her a bit puzzled.

"Of course, it's by relying on the bond of family."

The man said this with a glib tongue, which made the woman in the dressing mirror roll her eyes.

"It's your strange divination, right."

Sophie Sophie Liya thought about it, and could only think of this one possibility.

Before, when the two were playing a little game of guessing underwear colors, she discovered that the Eldest Miss's divination seemed to be a bit magical. Clearly, she had always prepared divination-shielding magic on her body, but these spells had no effect on the Eldest Miss's divination.

"Hmm, yeah, I had a whim this morning and did a divination, then just happened to come over to see you."

Seeing her means were guessed, Dorothy shrugged and admitted it frankly.

Recently, her magic research happened to be prophecy-based divination magic. In order to test the magic effect, she would often find a direction at random to calculate.

It's just a pity that even in this Witch's Night dream, and having changed a body, her strange "fate-insulating" constitution was still there. She still wasn't good at prophecy-based magic. She could succeed three or four times out of ten divinations, and after success, it was still the same old thing—she would enter a state similar to "future vision," able to witness with her own eyes the future that must happen.

This morning, Dorothy had a whim and calculated when she would meet Sophie Sophie Liya again, and then she saw a woman in a room dressing up. Her body trembled halfway through her makeup, and then she returned to normal, but the reflection in the mirror had completely different eyes.

This was someone else.

The Home Witch immediately judged that this woman might be possessed by someone, and combined with her divination question, then who the possessed person was went without saying.

And fortunately, this time she also took a look at the scenery outside the window of this room.

The man came to the windowsill, then looked not far outside the window, and saw the huge palace complex that was magnificent and grand.

That was the Imperial Palace of the Human Empire.

The people of this world only had one empire.

So, with this landmark, finding someone was very convenient.

"Eldest Miss, why did you find such a container?"

Sophie Sophie Liya had finished her makeup and stood up, then looked at the male container the Eldest Miss was using, with a bit of disdain in her eyes.

Forget it. Once she thought of the Eldest Miss's occasional "episodes" in daily life, this question was asked in vain. Maybe it was just that she wanted to try the taste of being a man today.

However, what surprised the pure white Witch even more was that the distance from Sin City to this Imperial Capital wasn't any closer than from the Holy City to the Imperial Capital.

She was able to descend because she had the statue of Mother as an auxiliary medium, so she didn't need to consume too much power. Moreover, she herself now had the strength equivalent to a low-level angel, so she could afford the consumption.

But five months ago, the Eldest Miss was still a weakling. Now she could afford to use such high-level magic?

Sophie Sophie Liya was even more curious in her heart.

"This container wasn't found by me, but a gift from a cultist. Moreover, this person is a medium-type constitution, a top-tier choice for a container."

For the male body she was currently using, Dorothy was quite satisfied, and she explained with a smile.

This unlucky man was originally a victim caught by cultists to be used as a container for summoning demons. It's just that the cultists' prayer to the demon was intercepted by Dorothy as soon as it reached Sin City. The Home Witch's consciousness followed the summoning array and then smoothly used this unlucky guy as a descent container.

A container delivered to the door—why not use it?

However, to be fair, the taste of a medium-type constitution was indeed not bad; it felt as smooth as her own body when used.

But she didn't use it for nothing. At the very least, the cultist who was originally hiding in the shadows of the Empire had been smoothly uprooted by her.

Moreover, she didn't really intend to possess him or anything. She would return it when she was done, and it wouldn't cause any harm to the original owner of this body.

"Then, this beautiful lady, I wonder if I might have the honor to invite you to watch an opera performance together?"

Seeing Sophie Sophie Liya finish her dressing, Dorothy also stood up. She straightened the double-breasted suit on her body, then bowed very gentlemanly, and extended her hand, issuing such an invitation.

Sophie Sophie Liya: "..."

The pure white Witch looked at this Eldest Miss who was still quite "in character," and was also helpless. She finally nodded reservedly and handed her hand to the other party.

"With pleasure."

Although she didn't know when the Eldest Miss became so romantic, actually knowing how to invite someone to watch an opera, it didn't matter. As long as she was happy, it was fine.

Sophie Sophie Liya came here this time originally to investigate the problem of faith loss, but since the person involved was right in front of her, there was nothing to investigate. It must be the Eldest Miss's handiwork. It's just, how exactly did she do it?

The Shining Sect had been operating in this world for hundreds of years, with forces spread across most of the Empire's territory and astonishing influence. Over 80% of the Empire's population were believers of the church.

Wanting to shake the foundation of such a behemoth in a short period of time was a very difficult thing. After all, faith had already penetrated into every bit of people's lives and become a part of daily life.

Even if the current Emperor of the Empire wanted his subjects not to believe in gods, it would be very difficult to do, let alone anyone else.

With such curiosity, Sophie Sophie Liya took Dorothy's arm, and the two walked out very intimately.

Those who could live near the Imperial Palace naturally wouldn't be ordinary people. The pure white Witch was currently possessing this female believer who seemed to be a very powerful noble. However, the two didn't alert the other servants in this villa, but quietly slipped out from the back door.

When passing through the backyard garden, the Home Witch picked a flower from the garden, then the staff in her hand tapped lightly, and that small flower suddenly expanded and grew, turning into a uniquely styled flower carriage. She found a few ants on the ground and tapped them, and the ants expanded rapidly, finally turning into a few horses with smooth and shiny fur.

"Beautiful transformation magic."

Sophie Sophie Liya looked at this scene full of fairy-tale colors, and light flashed in her eyes.

Even Witches actually still liked fairy tales, especially little Witches. Most of the first things they did after their magic enlightenment was to cosplay as little fairies in fairy tales.

It's just that those were only the childhoods of little Witches with happy families. The pure white Witch's childhood didn't have time to waste on these meaningless things.

Therefore, seeing this scene now, she only praised the Eldest Miss's exquisite magic spell in a somewhat "scenery-spoiling" way.

Fortunately, Dorothy didn't care about this. She had long known what kind of personality her roommate had. She was a "emotionless self-discipline machine," and her daily life was truly regular and boring.

But it didn't matter. She wouldn't play, so she would just take her along.

Therefore, the staff in her hand waved again, and the next moment, the dress on Sophie Sophie Liya, which was originally luxurious and high-grade but ultimately just a mortal object, became shimmering, and the swaying skirt was as if dotted with the entire starry sky, shining brightly.

"Hmm, whose princess is this lost? So beautiful."

After finishing the transformation, she said this in an exaggerated tone.

This made Sophie Sophie Liya feel a bit ashamed. She raised her hand, really wanting to beat this Eldest Miss who was teasing her, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Hmph, how old is she, still playing this kind of little Witch's "house" game? How childish.

She thought like this in her heart.

It's just, regardless of whether it's childish or not, how many girls can really be indifferent to this kind of princess fairy-tale plot? Most girls simply can't refuse this.

Sophie Sophie Liya was the same.

Maybe the pure white Witch herself didn't notice that she had been smiling all this time.

It's just...

"This doesn't seem to be the way to the theater. It's heading to the outer city."

The two boarded the carriage. Under the effect of magic, this flower carriage, which was truly a bit flashy and fairy-tale-like, was directly ignored by passersby, driving openly but calmly. However, Sophie Sophie Liya soon discovered that the direction of the route didn't seem right.

"It wasn't meant to be the theater to begin with. The theater is so small, it can't satisfy many people."

Dorothy answered with a smile, but sold a mystery.

"Don't worry, my princess. Do you think I'd sell you?"

She said with a laugh.

This made Sophie Sophie Liya's fists harden. She hated riddle-makers.

Fortunately, the answer was soon revealed. When the carriage drove near the large square in the outer city, before they even got close, they could already hear the lively commotion on the square.

And when the carriage finally approached, the pure white Witch saw at a glance the scene of people mountain people sea on the square. And at the very front of this crowd, there stood a huge screen, and the screen was still playing some images.

"This is a 'Magic Shadow'? Where did it come from?"

Suddenly seeing this thing that shouldn't belong to this era, Sophie Sophie Liya was stunned, then turned her head to look at the Eldest Miss beside her.

Okay, understood. Her own Eldest Miss could hand-craft warships, so building a "Magic Shadow," a thing whose technical content wasn't considered high, was naturally effortless.

Regarding this, Dorothy was proud.

The so-called "Magic Shadow" was actually something similar to the TV dramas of her previous life. In the Witch world, it was a common item that every family must have.

And this was also the first batch of main products of her Mechanical Sect. After all, if you want to master public opinion, you must first have a public opinion environment. If you don't even have these basic communication devices, then mastering it is just a dream.

So, home appliances... emmm, home magic? Forget it, in short, just popularize it.

Now the mechanical factory side was already producing vigorously. As for how to sell, there was no need to worry about this. After all, there was a professional like Senior Senior Miya. The huge Magic Shadow screen on this square was Senior Senior Miya's handiwork.

There were two main purposes: one was to advertise for the upcoming home Magic Shadows, and the other was to play the opera "Luo Miou and Zhu Liye" that had already been completed.

As for why it wasn't played directly in the theater, but on this square...

Emmm... can the poor people of this era afford to go to the opera house?

Her purpose was originally to satisfy the people's spiritual needs, and all the people, not just that tiny group of wealthy people. Rich people don't lack spiritual satisfaction anyway; the happiness of rich people is something poor people can't imagine.

Of course, the programs of this Magic Shadow were currently a bit single, and certainly didn't have the maturity of TV where you could watch whatever channel you wanted. Therefore, this Magic Shadow on the square was just playing some previously recorded operas in a loop.

In Dorothy's view, this was naturally boring enough, but for ordinary people in this era who had never come into contact with these, it was already novel enough.

Even in this harsh condition where there was nothing, not even a place to sit, and they could only stand and be blown by the wind and sun, some people could even stand on the square and watch for a whole day.

After all, these elegant things that only dignitaries could see in theaters in the past were now free, and everyone could watch them. This feeling of "getting it for free is earning it" was truly too attractive to them.

Dorothy and Sophie Sophie Liya arrived at just the right time. On the screen in the distance, the previous opera had just finished playing, and the next opera to be played was "Luo Miou and Zhu Liye."

Seeing this, the atmosphere on the already lively square became even more lively. Many people were refreshed; they had waited for so long just to wait for a re-watch of this play.

If one observed carefully, there were not only ordinary civilians on this square, but even quite a few upper-class people with fresh clothes and servants following them. However, these people were also waiting on the square at this time, which showed the high charm of this play.

And the two Witches just sat on the carriage and watched from afar. Although this distance was a bit eye-straining for mortals, it was nothing for the two of them.

Soon, the plot began to play on the screen.
