House Witch

Chapter 858 857. Return to normalcy

 Fenrir's house was still very large, with many empty rooms. Dorothy and Artie quickly chose two rooms and settled down first.

“Teacher, actually I think it’s too troublesome for us to choose two rooms. Just one room will do.”

Atty said this righteously as if he really didn’t want to trouble others.

Although it might still be a bit convincing if she said this with her pupils that had turned into hearts and the tail of the succubus swinging behind her behind her.

"climb."

Dorothy's response was also very crisp and clear. She directly kicked this future devil lady who was full of thoughts out of the house.

Then, she used her finger as a wand to slightly decorate the room, trying to make it look as familiar as possible. Finally, she lay down comfortably on the soft bed, looking at the ceiling above her head, feeling in her heart Feeling a little more at ease.

Well, although this is not her house, and it is even a place that was rented forcibly through both carrot and stick methods, she finally has a place to stay in this strange era.

Just like a save point in a game, this room made her feel quite relaxed.

“Then it’s time to think about how to finish the performance and go home as soon as possible.”

  The otaku witch continued to think.

Although she has watched "Lies and Trickery", the important thing about this musical is telling stories rather than recording history in detail, so for the sake of stage effect, it naturally has to be detailed and some omissions.

The script only said that Hermes and Atti performed around the city under the aliases of a magician and a fortune teller respectively, which eventually ignited the dissatisfaction of other demon witches against the vampire witches, and eventually turned into an uncontrollable revolution.

It is precisely because of the wonderful performances of the two that the city of Venus became a capital of art in later generations, directly turning the performance into a cultural symbol of the city.

　　"In order to overthrow the rule of the vampire clan, I had no choice but to debut as an idol together with the future Demon King. Is this something wrong?" 》

Dorothy silently thought about the idea that this was a very suitable name for a light novel, but she felt that it was really full of flaws.

 Others rule the country with idols, so you are rebelling against idols, right?

However, who knows that such an outrageous thing is indeed the real history, so the otaku witch has no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare to continue.

She just hopes that the next action will be as the Sage of Lies promised her before, that everything will be simple and smooth.

However, when she thought about the unexpected first meeting between her and Atina, Dorothy became really unsure about the next course of action.

“Furthermore, Hermes is obviously a fallen angel witch, why am I a tabula rasa witch now?”

The house witch sat up from the bed. She summoned an ice mirror, and then looked at the body of Hermes, which was no different from a mortal. At most, it was much more beautiful, and she felt a little curious.

One thing to say, it is really hard to find a blank slate witch with no evolutionary template these days. After all, talent can be inherited. Most witch cubs will more or less inherit some template talent from their mothers as soon as they are born. Like Dorothy's Dragon's Breath.

Unless the cub is very lucky and does not inherit a template talent, but only inherits skill-based talents such as magic control, then she can become a blank slate witch.

It's just that this probability is honestly not much lower than drawing an SSR-level talent, and it can be regarded as a different kind of Europe.

But Hermes' situation is very special. After all, she has a lot of SSR talents, but she really doesn't have template talents.

 For this kind of existence, we can generally only use two words to describe it, and that is Ou Huang.

 It can only be said that he is the holder of a lucky talent. There is really no one else who has this kind of luck.

"Tsk, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and someone told me that there really was such a blank slate witch, I wouldn't have believed it. I'd rather believe that it was an artificial human. How could such a talent ratio be natural?"

 Dorothy complained in her heart.

 Then she was a little curious about who Hermes' mothers were.

  After all, Sage of Lies has so many SSR talents, which means that her mothers’ talent and expertise prize pool must be very luxurious.

The last time Dorothy saw such a luxurious talent was in Audrey, but the mothers of the junior sisters were all high-level witches.

Then Hermos’s family background should be unusual.

However, the strange thing is that when Dorothy frowned and recalled carefully, even though she searched through her memory palace, she still couldn't seem to find any records of the mothers of this sage of lies.

She has a photographic memory, so it cannot be that Dorothy has forgotten something, it can only be true that she has not forgotten anything.

Before this, Dorothy didn't care much about this, after all, she hadn't gossiped to this extent yet, but now that she noticed this, the witch suddenly frowned.

"Something's wrong. People must have mothers, otherwise they can't just pop out of the cracks in the rocks. Are Hermes' mothers the kind of ancient hidden witches? Or is it a lie to say that they are just ordinary witches? Has the sage’s own blood returned to his ancestors?”

The otaku witch speculated in her mind.

 Until a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

“Lord Hermes, Miss Astymos, it’s time for the party. Is everyone waiting for you?”

Fenrir said this outside.

"I'm coming."

Dorothy then remembered that Adam had said that he would hold a welcome dinner for her and Artie. She looked out the window and found that it was already dusk. She quickly opened the door and walked out.

 Then she saw Artie who happened to come out of the next room.

Dorothy couldn't help but clicked her tongue, feeling that this young Miss Demon King was really a bit like a dog-skin plaster.

 hetui, lower head female.

However, Adi ignored the obvious dislike of the otaku witch. Anyway, her skin was thicker than the city wall, and she came over again as if I couldn't see anything.

There is nothing the house witch can do against her. After all, she still needs the cooperation of the devil lady for the next actions.

The two of them followed Fenrir to a small square in this villa community, where the welcome party was held.

Well, this is the "slum" of Witch Island. Naturally, it won't be as high-end and luxurious as the party at Dracula's house that Dorothy attended before. Everyone is wearing suits, dresses and skirts.

This banquet is very casual. To put it bluntly, it is a bonfire party.

At this time, a bonfire was lit in the middle of the square. Hundreds of residents of different races were busy around the bonfire. Some were preparing ingredients, some were clearing tables and chairs, and some were just chatting. The atmosphere was quite casual.

Something to say, this is the first time Dorothy has seen so many different races gathered together. It really feels like a small world.

 Elf, dwarf, gnome, orc, siren, giant, goblin, winged man, lizard man.

Dorothy looked at these alien residents with wide eyes, feeling that everything was quite novel.

It’s not that she has never seen people of different races, it’s that she has never seen so many different races appear together, and they haven’t started fighting yet.

 You must know that there is no peace between different races, and some even have feuds. For example, elves and dwarves dislike each other, and giants and dwarfs are also old enemies.

 But at this time everyone was gathered around the bonfire, laughing with each other.

 There are sirens singing and elves dancing.

 The dwarves brought wine, and the orcs brought game.

 The giants carried the ingredients, while the dwarfs handled everything smoothly.

 Everyone has a genuine smile on their face.

 “Well, this tastes just right, it’s the fantasy and magical world I imagined.”

Looking at this exceptionally harmonious scene, Dorothy was actually a little moved. She imagined that her future territory should look like this.

 “Yo, you are finally here.”

Adam, who was chatting with a few elves, turned his head and waved towards them.

Because of her actions, the hundreds of residents of different races in the small square also looked at them curiously.

 Because of Adam's friendliness, everyone also smiled kindly towards them. However, everyone was still a little uncomfortable because of the identities of the three witches, and there was a bit of uneasiness and fear under the smiles.

Of course, this is mainly for Dorothy and Artie, the two new outsiders. They seem to be much closer to Fenrir.

Dorothy didn’t mind this very much. After all, it was human nature. This was the first time we met, so how could we feel close to each other so easily?

 So, she responded to everyone with a smile.

At this time, Hermes' pure and kind appearance came into play. Everyone saw that she did not have the high airs of the witch, but was so easy-going, and they immediately felt relieved. Looking at her smile again, they just felt that this Miss Witch must be a good person like Miss Fenrir.

 As for Atty

Tsk, this bad thing's smile is more innocent than Dorothy's. Although she has a dark heart, her appearance is really angelic and meets all people's imaginations of a good child.

 In short, the two of them quickly integrated into everyone.

 The dinner continued in this harmonious atmosphere.

Atty had blended into the crowd perfectly, and before long he was already calling everyone a brother, acting like a good friend, and was currently dancing around the campfire hand in hand with the two elf twin girls.

This guy is really a social terrorist. Dorothy was very envious of his ability to easily mingle with others.

Naturally, the small house witch had no intention of moving around. She just silently took a large piece of barbecue from the hands of several dwarfs and little lolita, and took a large glass from the wine barrel brought by the dwarves. Fruit wine, just prepare to find a corner and squat.

Although she liked the harmonious atmosphere of this kind of banquet, she still couldn't blend into it as easily as Ati. She was satisfied just watching and feeling it.

 While she was eating barbecue and drinking wine, a figure came to her side.

Dorothy raised her head and saw that it was Adam. She was relieved. Then she silently moved the barbecue plate that was originally placed on the bench next to her to her lap. Finally, she patted the empty bench and signaled to her old father. You can sit here.

Mr. Brave was not polite about this, and he sat down generously.

And in his hands were the same barbecue and fruit wine as Dorothy.

Well, this is quite normal. After all, Dorothy's preferences were originally learned from him when she was wandering on the ground. However, the witch did not expect that this old father's food preferences would be so consistent in every life.

You have been lonely in this reincarnation. Well, even Meng Po Soup has no effect on you.

 She complained in her heart.

But the two of them didn't speak, and just enjoyed their food quietly until the two plates of barbecue were finished. There were only two broccoli flowers used by the dwarfs for decoration under the empty plates.

Dorothy and Adam both frowned at the last broccoli, then they closed their eyes at the same time, picked up the broccoli, and put it into their mouths as if they were taking poison.

Otaku witches are generally not picky about food, but they are really not good at this stuff.

 So it was with Adam.

 It’s just that if you don’t like it, you don’t like it, but wasting food is not okay.

 Finally, the father and daughter who successfully completed the disc operation looked at each other, and the slightly awkward atmosphere suddenly eased.

“Miss Holmes, how did you come here? This city is not very safe.”

 Adam was the first to speak and asked.

"I didn't come here voluntarily. I just have no choice. There are some things that need to be done."

Dorothy complained with a look of displeasure.

In front of her old father, she didn't need to be secretive anymore, she just complained when she needed to.

"What about you, Mr. Adam? I heard that you are a brave man. Why did you come to the Witch Sky Island? Is it possible that there is going to be big trouble in the Night City?"

The otaku witch is joking like this.

 However, what confused her was that Adam actually nodded.

"Well, I came after an old enemy. He is now lurking in this night city. I have been playing hide and seek with him for several years, but I have never caught him."

Mr. Brave replied like this.

This was a secret that he had always kept in his heart. He should have told no one to prevent it from attracting the attention of his old enemy. But at that moment, when faced with Miss Holmes' inquiry, Adam was so direct. Speak up.

Although he still doesn't know where the mysterious closeness to this little witch comes from, he just feels that it can be believed.

 And Adam's words also made Dorothy interested.

 Old enemy? It is indeed a bit scary to be regarded as an old enemy by Adam, the brave man who is now a bit strong and exaggerated.

"Is it troublesome? Do you need my help? Don't look at me like this, I'm actually pretty good."

She said this casually. She thought that since Adam was so powerful now, he probably didn't need the help of a newbie like her.

 But what she didn't expect was that Adam actually nodded.

“Okay, I’ve gotten a little old in the past two years and my condition has declined significantly. I really need a helper.”

Mr. Brave looked down at his hands and said so.

 He ​​is now in his fifties, and his peak period as a human being is about to pass. If he still cannot make a break with his old enemy, he will really be unable to do anything in a few years.

 Dorothy: "."

 No, Dad, you are so rude.

The otaku witch was a little speechless, but she had no intention of going back on her words.

 She just looked helplessly at the Adam in front of her who was indeed about to enter the aging stage, and then complained.

"So, why don't you modify your body? Why do you have to insist on being a human being? With your own strength, as long as you are willing, you can live as many years as you want, that's not how many years you can live. There is no such thing as age. statement."

This is the difference between the magical world and the world of cultivating immortals. Cultivation of immortals can naturally lead to immortality as the level of power increases, but magic cannot. Even if he is as strong as Adam the Brave and has power that is not inferior to that of the higher peaks, as long as he is still human , then the life span will still be a hundred years, and there will be no change.

Of course, it’s not that magic means you can’t live forever, it’s just that magic alone won’t do it. In fact, as long as you are willing to not be a human being and make a little bit of blood modification to your body, you can live forever in minutes.

 Most of the strongest human beings take this path after reaching the limit of human beings. Only by not being human can they surpass humans.

However, this kind of transformation is actually quite difficult for other humans, but if it is the brave Adam, it must be the transformation of the Holy Spirit of an angel, the transformation of evil spirits of a demon, or the transformation of dragon blood directly bathing in dragon blood. It can be carried over easily.

 Alas, this brave Adam still has the human obsessive-compulsive disorder that all Adam's have.

 Dorothy was speechless at this.

Although she was once a human, she is used to being a witch now, and she only occasionally misses her invincible second brother. But if he really had to choose again, she would probably still choose to become a witch. .

 After all, A Zhai’s ultimate ideal is to become a two-dimensional person. Besides, studying magic is really fun.

 She does not have much nostalgia for her mortal identity.

 Hearing her words, Adam was not angry at all.

Mr. Brave just smiled gently.

“If I am no longer a human being, how can I understand other people’s thoughts and pursuits? If I stand too high, I am afraid that one day I will lose my way.”

He said so.

 As a human being in life, he should return to a normal human being after death. This is his rule of life.

 Dorothy: "."

The house witch is silent

I messed up another blind date, and I feel like I’m not far away from being kicked out by my parents.
