House Witch

“Hey, you’re awake, the operation was successful, you have succeeded”

 Dorothy heard someone say this in her ear in a daze.

 She suddenly brightened up.

Nani, is it possible that my second brother who is invincible in the world is back?

She felt happy, then subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch it, and then curled her lips.

Everything, not even a hair was touched.

“Why are you here? What happened just now? I remember, didn’t I get caught in a trap?”

The otaku witch looked up at the fallen angel witch sitting not far away from her, and then asked curiously.

She turned around and looked around, and found that she was lying on the bed in a strange room. Judging from the layout of the room, it should be a hotel.

On the table next to the bed, a beautiful woman with ten wings on her back and a pure face was playing with a huge red diamond in her hand.

This is Hermes, the Sage of Lies, and the red diamond in her hand is naturally the True Ancestor Blood Diamond.

Facing Dorothy's question, the Fallen Angel Witch Sage did not answer directly, but said with some emotion.

“I didn’t expect that I really underestimated you. You actually managed to get the True Ancestor Blood Diamond without relying on me. This is really amazing.”

Hermes had an expression of wonder on her face.

When Dorothy heard this, her nose straightened up and she was very proud.

"Hey hey, where is the sage, you have won the prize, the basic operation is the basic operation."

She expressed this with a modest smile, but in her heart she was still a little confused about the current situation.

She remembered that she must have fallen into a trap, but why did she suddenly appear in this strange room, and why was Hermos still beside her? Could it be that he was saved by this sage of lies at that last critical moment?

 But in this case, she did not get the True Ancestor Blood Diamond on her own.

Moreover, she had already decided not to trade the True Ancestor Blood Diamond to Hermes. After all, it was the blood diamond of the Vampire Clan. She gave it to others, which was a bit sorry for the Dracula family.

And just when she was thinking about how she could express her feelings tactfully and without angering the sage of lies, and wanted the True Ancestor Blood Diamond back, the sage lady opposite suddenly put it in her hand. The huge **** diamond was thrown over again.

“Sage, what are you doing?”

Dorothy hurriedly took the precious diamond, held it in her arms, and then looked at Holmes with some confusion, not understanding what the other party meant.

 Why did the other party give her the diamond before she even opened her mouth? Could it be that her mind was being read?

The otaku witch guessed so.

Although she has a Bodhisattva state of mind and has the mind sealing spell taught by the principal, it is difficult for ordinary people to read her mind, but the lying sage in front of her is obviously not an ordinary person. She can almost be regarded as the number one in the spiritual school under the Three Kings. People.

The illusion forbidden spell Mirror Flowers and Water Moon is so valuable.

Besides, the version of the forbidden spell of Mirror Flowers and Water Moon in the Magic Network Library is even a castrated version of the power of the lying sage. The real Mirror Flowers and Water Moon is actually the sage's authority controlled by her old man.

Hmm, power—lie.

 In short, the gap is too big. In fact, there is no difference between me and Guo Ben in front of others.

Forehead.

　　Dorothy was stunned when she mentioned Goben. She quickly touched the top of her head and then her face, and then her expression changed drastically.

Fuck you, senior sister, you really lose your temper at critical moments, can't you be more reliable?

The house witch cursed angrily in her heart.

 And she also realized another important point.

That is, what she is wearing at this time is not the Valrhona shirt from the previous banquet, but a nightgown. At the same time, there is no cover on her face now, and the face of God is directly exposed to her. In front of a strong man who is unable to resist at all.

Oops, this is really the biggest crisis in history. Nothing happened when I just lost consciousness, right? Isn't this already an afterthought?

Dorothy hugged the quilt on the bed in fear, and then looked across the way warily.

However, what surprised her was that the eyes of the lying sage opposite him were unexpectedly clear, and he seemed not to be charmed by the face of God at all.

Wow, is this the will of a sage? It's really terrifying.

However, Holmes's calmness made Dorothy relieved, and she really didn't feel anything strange about her body.

The only question is whether your perception can still be trusted in front of this first person in illusion. This has to be a question mark. After all, there is a classic line.

 What gave you the illusion that I didn’t use Mirror Flowers and Water Moon?

 So, is this reality or an illusion?

 Can’t tell, I really can’t tell.

At this moment, Dorothy deeply understood the horror of the top illusionist. His mere presence was enough to make people suspicious, and he began to fight with the air.

 Fortunately, the sage lady opposite spoke quickly, interrupting the witch's delusion.

“Since you succeeded in doing it, I will keep my promise and give you a little surprise.”

Hermes said so.

As soon as Dorothy heard this, she immediately became excited. She threw away her speculation about whether it was an illusion or not, and then looked at the other person with shining eyes.

 Wuhu, this wave is taking off.

A grain of ashes on a sage’s hand would be like a mountain to a little witch like her. And since the sage said it was a surprise, couldn’t it be a mountain of gold?

 In this regard, the otaku witch directly expects Laman.

With Dorothy's expectant eyes, Holmes came to the window of the room, and then suddenly pulled the curtains.

 “How about it, is this a surprise enough?”

Miss Sage asked with a pleasant smile on her face.

The sudden bright sunlight that came in made Dorothy squint her eyes. When she got used to the sunlight and saw clearly the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery outside the window, her eyes suddenly widened.

Hmm, the scenery outside the window looked familiar to her, as if she had seen it somewhere.

She has a photographic memory and quickly found this familiar source from the memory palace.

This is the scene she had seen before when she watched the two ladies perform "Lies and Trickery" at the Witches Opera House, in the illusion created by the ladies' superb acting skills.

This is still the city of Venus.

 Or more accurately, Night City, or City of Sin.

Hmm, the City of Night at the end of the Dragon King era and the rise of the Demon King.

 “Damn it, I’m afraid I haven’t woken up yet, this must be a dream.”

Dorothy blinked, then silently pulled up the quilt and lay back on the bed.

 This must have just started to get intense, otherwise why would I have such a strange dream about traveling through time and space?

However, even if she closed her eyes, the cheerful laughter from the window still kept coming, which made the otaku witch really unable to continue. She turned her head and looked at the sage with a bright smile. .

“What on earth is going on? This is not a surprise. This is clearly a shock.”

 She was really confused about the current situation.

Hermes had probably finally had enough laughter. "Twelve-ring forbidden spell - time travel, you must have heard of this, Miss Witch of the Forest."

She said so.

Dorothy was also stunned when she heard this.

She has indeed heard of this, and was even crazy about it.

 After all, she herself has the talent of time and space, so how could she be indifferent to this ultimate magic of the time and space system.

 And the ability of this forbidden spell is just like its name, it has the ability to allow the user to travel freely in endless time and space.

Well, you can use this to travel to the past, you can also use this to travel to the future, and you can also go on adventures in many parallel worlds. In short, it’s very magical.

 Just why do I mention this? Does time travel have anything to do with her current situation?

Forehead.

 Dorothy thought of something.

“Sage, do you mean that the trap spell attached to the True Ancestor Diamond is time travel?”

  The otaku witch asked in surprise.

 Soon she also succumbed to the blood witches. No, generally speaking, trap magic should be attack-type or control-type magic spells. What do you mean by time travel?

 Giving someone a quick trip?

“Yeah, this is what I sold to them back then.”

Hermes nodded, and then smiled more happily.

 Dorothy: “????”

  Whenever I type a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, it’s that I think you have a problem.

Hey guys, the culprit is right in front of me.

 “Hahaha, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, the world is so wonderful, but you are so irritable, this is not good.”

Miss Sage dodged the witch's angry punch, then lay down on the bed where Dorothy was lying just now, smiling and continuing to explain.

“Weren’t you very curious about how I stole the True Ancestor Diamond? That’s how I stole it.”

"My future self stole the future True Ancestor's Diamond, and then sent it back to my past self. How about that? I'm pretty good at it."

Hermes said this with a showy tone.

 Dorothy: "."

The house witch was silent, her eyes widened, and she was indeed shocked by the genius of this sage.

only

“But didn’t you say before that you actually didn’t succeed, you just stole the True Ancestor Blood Diamond that is in people’s hearts, and you have never seen the real thing?”

 She recalled what the other said when the two of them were doing business in the tavern, and for a moment she didn't know which one was true.

 “Well, that’s true too”

Hermes nodded and admitted.

“However, lies must be true or false to be effective. In the past, what I stole was indeed the diamond in people’s hearts, but from now on, it is no longer just a lie.”

Miss Sage pointed to the real ancestral diamond in Dorothy’s arms and said so.

 Dorothy: "."

 Hey guys, is this the obsessive-compulsive disorder of the boss? You have gone through such a big circle just to replace the fake prop in your hand with the real one now?

 No, does this make sense?

The otaku witch was a little speechless. She could only say that she, a novice, didn't understand the world of big bosses very well.

"However, it's a bit difficult now. Originally, I only wanted to send back this diamond, but now you are also sent here. This is not good."

Hermes said this suddenly.

 And this immediately made Dorothy nervous.

 Not good? What's wrong?

 “Can’t you send me back again?”

 Dorothy asked quickly.

“Of course not. When you travel through time and space, you can really go wherever you want. Time travel is a very dangerous thing.”

Miss Sage shook her head and spoke very seriously.

"How to describe it? Well, it's like ripples on a river. Every time you travel in time, you will have ripples on the previous time river. Before the ripples completely subside, you can't proceed to the next time. Travel, otherwise it will easily lead to time and space confusion and make you lost in the long river of time and space."

 “Well, it seems that there is indeed something to say about this.”

 Dorothy nodded, agreeing with this reason. She had indeed seen this statement in some magic theories before.

This is also considered the cooling-off period of time magic.

"Then how long do I have to wait before I can go back? I remember there are taboos on time travel. You can't break in. Otherwise, if you accidentally change the future, it will also cause unimaginable disasters."

The otaku witch also felt a little dizzy, and she remembered many other taboos about time travel.

A trip is really just a trip. You'd better be like watching fish in an aquarium, watching the whole process through a glass barrier. Otherwise, if you really dive into the water, you may accidentally interact with the "fish" in the water. If they interact, it may cause various chain changes like the butterfly effect.

This is very dangerous. After all, everyone's birth is actually a small miracle. If the past changes, then the small miracle that allows you to be born in the future may not exist. In other words, you may not exist directly. .

 If you were not born, you do not exist.

 In short, all kinds of troubles.

Of course, generally those who are capable of time travel must have various means to prevent those accidents, and will try their best to minimize the impact of their own travel.

 But Dorothy had a hammer.

Therefore, her current existence itself is a mistake for this past world. She dare not go out at all now, otherwise she will be seen by people of this era. Even if she is glanced at, it will have already produced "30,000 years" The existence of "Dorothy before" is imprinted.

Well, just like a modern person traveling to the past while playing with a mobile phone, and then being seen by an ancient person, and that person happened to be good at drawing, and ended up drawing a picture of a strange person, then God knows what the archeology will look like tens of millions of years later. After scientists opened the painter's tomb, they saw the expression of a modern person playing with a mobile phone in the painting.

 This is enough to influence the future.

Of course, the future of a world as powerful as the Witch World is not that easy to change. After all, the world's self-correction ability is quite powerful. Therefore, if such an accident occurs, it may trigger the self-correction mechanism of world consciousness. More troublesome.

Damn it, it’s not wrong to think that vampire witches use time travel as a trap magic. This thing is much more troublesome than other magic spells for novices in time travel.

"Okay, I've thought of a solution. How about I lend you my identity? From now on, you will be Hermes. You will replace me in this era to complete what I should have done. Let’s do it.”

 The Sage of Lies blinked his eyes, but suddenly suggested this.

 “Um? Is this okay?”

Dorothy blinked, once again surprised by the suggestion.

"Okay, of course. After all, I'm not as powerful as the famous Witch of the Forest at this time. It's not easy for you to play me. Otherwise, you can also choose to be locked up in this room for a month. Well, The cooling will be over in about a month.”

Hermes said so.

 The picture is poor and the dagger can be seen. (End of this chapter)
