House Witch

“Okay, let’s talk about your old enemy?”

 Dorothy did not mention body modification to extend her life.

She still understands the principle of not doing to others what you don’t want others to do to you.

It's like she doesn't want to be too conspicuous and just wants to live a peaceful and peaceful daily life. She doesn't want to follow Dragon Mother back to inherit the family business and go to the battlefield to become an armed witch, which seems to be a waste of talent.

Since it was Adam's own choice to live his life as a human being, she, as a daughter, could only respect it.

Well, we won’t really see each other again anyway.

This guy Adam dies, and after more than ten years an old one will grow into a young one that is exactly the same, laugh.

But speaking of it, father and daughter are really equally paranoid, and they always like to have inexplicable persistence in things that other witches find difficult to understand.

 Peaceful daily life? Mortal identity?

This is indeed a boring thing, but they think it is important and are willing to do so. This is enough, isn't it?

 Life is your own thing. Everyone has the right to decide how to spend their life. As long as they live comfortably, they do not have to follow the so-called "best" route.

 Hearing that Miss Holmes did not persuade her, Adam smiled happily.

 He knew that she understood him.

 Then, he thought for a while and answered.

“That guy? He’s a demon named Mammon.”

 Dorothy: "."

  ? ? ?

The otaku witch who didn't care much at first almost jumped up from the bench, and a series of small question marks appeared above her head.

Hum, can I regret it now?

She suddenly regretted agreeing so quickly.

Even though the otaku witch has always been quite confident, recently she even felt that as long as the opponent was not a sage, she could try to deal with the opponent a few times, but you really gave her a sage-level boss.

And he is not an ordinary sage, he is a sage among sages, one of the bosses who stands at the top of the entire Western Universe.

Mammon, the great demon who is in charge of the original sin of greed.

 I can’t afford to play anymore, so I won’t play anymore and leave.

Dorothy also accepted her biological father. She originally thought that she was a troublemaker and often provoked some big guys for no reason. But now the facts tell her that your father is your father after all. Jiang is still very old, look at it. Who has this father provoked?

In Witch Night, you provoked the arrogant demon Lucifer, and in this life you provoked the greedy demon Mammon. Are you planning to collect stamps and collect all the seven demons?

“It seems that you also know him, so there is no need to introduce him to you. How about it, are you afraid?”

Seeing Miss Holmes' surprised look, Adam also laughed heartily and joked.

“I am indeed afraid, the great devil of original sin. Who is not afraid of this? I am not the two kings in heaven.”

The otaku witch also said angrily.

She originally thought that planning to overthrow the vampire clan could not be completed in a day or two. It was not impossible to accept a side mission from Adam, but now this good guy, the side missions are even more outrageous than the main missions. .

 “Mr. Adam, although I know you are very strong, but.”

Dorothy considered her words, thinking about how to make her father aware of the strength gap between the two sides without hurting him.

“But I’m definitely not Mammon’s opponent, am I?”

Adam took over Dorothy's words and said the lines that the witch could not say.

But he didn’t feel like his self-esteem was hurt. After all, Mr. Brave had long passed the age where his defenses could be broken with just one word.

 Besides, this is also true.

Although he has been playing hide-and-seek with the Original Sin Demon God all his life, the other party has been playing tricks on him, otherwise he would have died long ago.

“Don’t worry, it’s not about fighting directly. The superior original sin demons rarely directly suppress people with force. They prefer to use various means to evoke the original sin in others and make people fall for themselves.”

 Adam opened his mouth to comfort Dorothy.

This is also true, brute force is something middle and lower-level demons like to use. Real upper-level demons no longer need to actively hunt. Naturally, prey will come to their doorsteps waiting for them to enjoy.

Just like the greedy demon mammon, the souls of all greedy people are his reserve food.

“We don’t need to fight Him head-on, we just need to play a game with Him.”

"game?"

Dorothy was stunned for a moment, then became alert again.

 One thing to say is that she is really allergic to games recently.

However, Adam didn't understand this. Seeing Miss Holmes's doubts, he nodded and continued to explain.

“Well, it’s a game played by the devil. I once made a contract with Mammon. He will conduct 99 greed tests on me. If I can pass them all, then he will never harass me again.”

Mr. Brave said so.

 Dorothy: "."

This style is indeed quite demonic, and those big demons are indeed of this tone.

But Adam, you are still liked by the devil as always.

The otaku witch remembered that Lucifer's incarnation as Satan in Witch Night was greedy for Adam's soul, and ended up overturning.

 Otherwise she might not be Dorothy the Witch now, but Dorothy the Devil.

"What are the tests? Tell me some for reference. I feel confident."

Dorothy asked curiously.

Adam didn't hide it from her. He recalled it for a while and then spoke.

“Actually, they are all quite simple and not very difficult. They are just multiple-choice questions.”

"For example, when I was ten years old, a weak companion and I were killed in the desert. When we were about to die of thirst, we found a kettle, but the water was only enough for one person to survive."

"Or when I was fifteen years old, my hometown was levied a large amount of taxes by the lord. I was in urgent need of money, so I joined the dragon-slaying team. After successfully defeating the dragon, we obtained the dragon's treasure. , but the money there is all the hard-earned money of nearby residents, and they also have to pay taxes."

"Or when I was twenty years old, I offended the lord and was being hunted. At that time, I longed for power, and then I got a magic sword. As long as I sacrifice a human life, this magic sword can give me the power of the devil. strength."

"When I was thirty years old, I met a woman. She was very beautiful, and I got along well with her. She expressed her love for me, but also confessed that she was a vampire. If I wanted, she would give me She will live forever and be with me forever, but I know that her castle is full of human mummies that have been sucked dry, and I accepted the mission to defeat her."

 “At the age of thirty-five, I started traveling around the world and went to the elves”

 Dorothy: "."

 No, you call this simple?

 A question mark appeared over the head of the house witch again.

 “Then what did you do?”

  She asked more curiously.

 Although based on her understanding of Adam, she could actually guess what Adam would do.

"I gave the water to my companions, and was saved by being fed blood by them; I returned the dragon's treasures to their original owners, and then went back and chopped up the tax-collecting lord; I threw the magic sword to the pursuers and watched They fought for the magic sword and killed each other; I killed the vampire woman with my own hands, but she didn't resist and just died in my arms."

 Adam also said this calmly.

Dorothy nodded, and then sighed inwardly. Alas, it turned out to be the father she was familiar with.

Then she remembered the legends of brave men told by Fenrir before. At first, she thought that they might not be true, but looking at it now, there was probably a conflict between Adam and the demon **** Mammon hidden behind every legendary story. Let’s compete.

It is no wonder that the brave Adam is so strong. With this legendary experience, if he were not strong, he would have died long ago.

 “Then how many times has this been played?”

 The house witch was silent for a while, and then asked.

 “The 99th time, this is the last time, I will be free after it’s over.”

 Adam replied.

 Dorothy: "."

 Dad, did you just raise a very serious flag?

Bah, bah, bah, this is really unlucky.

 “Then do you have any clues about this last test?”

  The otaku witch continued to ask.

 Adam did not answer directly this time. He just held the wine glass and looked at the bonfire not far away and the people laughing around the bonfire. Finally, he turned to look at Dorothy beside him.

“I didn’t have a clue at first, but since I met you, Miss Holmes, I have understood.”

He said so.

　　　　???”

Dorothy has almost turned into a heartless question mark machine. What does it have to do with her?

 Fortunately, Adam did not act as a riddler and quickly gave her the answer.

“Family, the test this time should be family, because I am probably really old, and I am beginning to be afraid of loneliness and long for the warmth of family.”

Mr. Brave lowered his head and said this.

 He spent the first half of his life alone, always busy making bets with the devil, but this last bet never came.

He knew that Mammon was lurking in the city of night, but he still couldn't catch any clues about this terrible demon. The other party seemed to be deliberately consuming him.

He had no choice but to stay in the night city.

 He ​​has never lived in one place for so long in his life, and with his character that he can't help but help when people are in trouble, it is natural for him to create the Avalon Village today.

This is something he wouldn't do as a young man. After all, he is the unlucky guy being targeted by the devil. If others get close to him, he will only be implicated, which will lead to misfortune.

 But now he did not refuse.

 First of all, he is much stronger than when he was young, so strong that even the devil dare not look down on him, and he has the ability to protect himself to some extent.

Secondly, as he just said, he may be really old, and when people get old, they will be afraid of loneliness and long for the company of family members.

 He is an old bachelor, so naturally he has no real family, so it would be nice to have some friends around him.

His fighting spirit has indeed been worn down in this peaceful life day after day, especially after the appearance of Miss Holmes, some strange thoughts always pop up in his mind from time to time.

 For example, if I had gotten married and had children normally, my children would be this old now.

　　If I also give birth to a daughter, will she be as beautiful and sensible as this Miss Holmes?

 Well, it’s great to have a daughter.

Although it may be a bit rude to do so, it can even be said to be rude, but when Adam looks at Miss Holmes, he can't help but bring an old father's perspective.

This is very strange, but he really can't control himself.

 It was only then that he realized his problem.

He probably really longs for a home and the company of his family, otherwise how could this fatherly love be so overwhelming that it would pour out onto the little witch indiscriminately.

And this is very dangerous, because for the demon **** who has been fighting with him all his life, this is a rare flaw and opportunity, and the other party will never give up.

“So, Miss Holmes, you are actually sent by Mammon.”

 Adam asked suddenly.

 His eyes couldn't help but become sharp.

He couldn't help but doubt this. After all, at this juncture, a person with unknown origins suddenly appeared out of thin air, but he felt particularly close to him. What do you think this is, if this is not the devil's conspiracy?

 Dorothy: "."

The otaku witch blinked in confusion.

However, he was not too flustered by this. Instead, he thought about it seriously and then nodded.

 “Maybe it’s true.”

She admitted so.

Well, although she was actually arranged by the Sage of Lies and not the Demon God Mammon, as far as she knew, Hermes and the Demon God Mammon seemed to be a bit unclear.

After all, both of them are ministers of the Demon King and have a relationship of colleagues.

It is very reasonable for three bad guys to get together and work together.

So the fact that Hermes sent her to this era was really just an accident, as she said, so she only needed to cooperate in a performance?

Huh, she always felt that there was a conspiracy in this before. Now that Adam said this, she felt more and more that there must be something wrong here.

Hmm, maybe this is really the plan of the Mammon Demon God against Adam.

After all, the false daughter may not be able to confuse Adam, the true brave man, but what about his true daughter?

Wow, it is indeed a trick of the devil. It is really poisonous. I was almost used as a tool.

The more Dorothy thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

 Then she looked up at Adam and sighed.

“Okay, Dad, I won’t hide it from you now. I am actually not some Hermes. My name is Dorothy. I am a person from the future and your biological daughter in who knows how many lifetimes.”

It's funny, no matter what her plot is, I have shown my cards, I see how you can continue to play.

Although this kind of showdown will definitely cause turbulence in time and space, and may really change the future, Dorothy silently felt the mark of the God above the gods in her heart and couldn't help but put her hands on her hips.

 Do you understand what it means that a child with a sister is a treasure?

 If there was an accident, my good sister would definitely pull her away immediately. Since the good sister didn’t respond, it means it was all a minor problem.

 It is true that Adam the Brave was not well-known in later generations, which means that this did not cause any big trouble at all.

Then don't change the big things, and change the small things casually, don't be afraid, it's just reckless.

It’s just that Adam on the opposite side is a direct Muggle.

　　No, he actually just tested it casually. Why did you kid just jump so much? Shouldn't you be justifying or pretending or something?

Moreover, aren’t we a suspense and conspiracy studio? You suddenly come from the future.

Mr. Brave's mind was a little overloaded for a moment.

But these are actually minor issues. The point is that she really called me daddy.

Although Adam had tried very hard to endure it, the corners of his mouth still curled up unconsciously.

 The old father is in ecstasy (end of this chapter)
