Chapter 180: Moon Enlightenment

~15 min read 2,871 words

The light of teleportation flashed by. Between closing and opening her eyes, Dorothy had already appeared in a huge conference room-like room. She still maintained her previous sitting posture, sitting in one of the seats at the super-large circular conference table.

Subsequently, the familiar teleportation aftereffects surged. Fortunately, this time it was only a short-distance teleportation, and coupled with the reduced side effects after her mana became stronger, she quickly recovered to normal after just a slight dizziness in her head.

This made the Home Witch feel relieved. After all, there were many people in this conference room, and if she suddenly vomited a rainbow here, it would be too eye-catching. She, an old social anxiety sufferer, couldn't stand the treatment of being watched by everyone.

After calming down, Dorothy looked around and was slightly startled, knowing that this auction was probably going to be troublesome. After all, there were really too many people participating.

This circular conference table was of the largest size, comparable to the legendary round table of the Knights of the Round Table. Hundreds of seats were set up around it, and now, in the continuous teleportation light, new witches were constantly taking their seats. Soon, this round table was almost full.

"Ah, are there so many people who know the goods?"

Looking at so many competitors, Dorothy thought with some doubt, but after thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized.

It should be that not all of them know the goods. Many people here probably just saw that Moon-Illuminated Lion-Heart Rabbit kill her opponent in seconds and felt she was very powerful, so they voted directly.

But even excluding those who came to join in the fun, there were still quite a few competitors later.

Dorothy felt a bit worried in her heart, only feeling that she probably had no hope this time. She would look at Senior Miya's "money power" later.

But having said that, this is actually an anonymous auction.

Dorothy looked up, originally wanting to find the positions of Senior Miya, Alice, and Audrey, but all these circular table seats were set up with shadow-shielding barriers. Her glance could only see hazy black shadows, and she couldn't tell who was who at all.

Even these barriers had the effect of mana shielding, not emitting any mana aura, which made it impossible to recognize people by mana aura.

However, thinking about it carefully, the Home Witch felt that this was quite good. After all, auction bidding is easy to offend people. Novels all say that you have to disguise yourself in advance when attending an auction to avoid being troubled later. And now, this auction site comes with identity hiding, which is indeed quite humanized. There will be no worries later when bidding.

It's just that this is not very friendly to those alien races. Now they really have no reference data at all. When it's their turn to choose their followers later, they can really only rely on the bid.

This is even darker than opening a blind box; after all, having money doesn't mean being a good person.

And just when Dorothy was letting her imagination run wild, a figure jumped directly onto the circular table that was as big as a small stage. This was the protagonist of this "auction," that Moon-Illuminated Lion-Heart Rabbit.

At this time, Sidweier's mood was very unpleasant. She had had enough of the arrogance of this group of damn witches. If it weren't for that prophecy, she would have wanted to walk away long ago.

But there was no helping it; her ethnic group needed a new home, and the direction pointed by the prophecy of salvation was in this damn slave market.

"Calm down, calm down. I am no longer the Moon Knight of the past. I can't be so impulsive anymore. As a king, I must have enough patience. Endurance, must endure."

The Moon Rabbit lady comforted herself in her heart.

However, even so, the fire in her heart was not extinguished, just temporarily suppressed.

All along, Sidweier had never thought of becoming a king. The heavy responsibility of standing at the highest point to guide the entire ethnic group, where every word and action could determine the life and death of the entire ethnic group, was simply too heavy. Her goal from beginning to end was only one: to be a Moon Knight responsible for guarding the ethnic group and expanding territory for the ethnic group.

It's just that fate is truly teasing. Just when she refreshed the knight test record with full marks and was about to successfully become a new Moon Knight, that night, the Queen suddenly sent someone to summon her.

For this summons, Sidweier didn't think much of it at first. She felt that it might just be because she did too well in the test, so she was appreciated by the Queen, and this time it must be to reward her or something.

But when she came to the palace and saw the Queen with her own eyes, she was completely stunned, because the first sentence the Queen said when she saw her was: "You're here, my daughter."

Sidweier was completely confused by the Queen's words. Wasn't she an orphan whose parents died on the battlefield long ago? How could the Queen suddenly call her daughter now?

It's just that before she could figure out what was going on, the Queen's next words left her completely without time to think.

"My life is about to come to an end with this world. My daughter, from now on, you will be the new Moon Queen. After I die..."

That night, the Queen said a lot of things to her, or more accurately, she entrusted a lot of funeral arrangements to her.

According to the Queen, the life of the moon world they lived in had come to an end and was about to face destruction. And in order to deal with this world-destroying crisis, they had long begun to prepare, and even the ark of salvation had long been built.

In short, everything was ready, just waiting for the final ark navigator to be in place.

And Sidweier was the navigator in that plan.

The Queen's power was too closely linked to that moon world. Others could leave, but she couldn't. Her fate was destined to be buried with that moon world.

Therefore, she needed an heir, and after that came Sidweier's birth.

And the reason why the Queen didn't raise this daughter herself was for nothing else, but because of the guidance of fate.

The inheritance of past Moon Queens is to borrow the power of the world to peek into the power of fate by connecting with the power of the moon world.

Especially this generation of Queen, her understanding of fate is unprecedented in history, and her title is "Fate Moon Track."

But now the moon world is about to be destroyed, so the so-called inheritance of the Moon Queen naturally has no meaning. Therefore, the Queen didn't keep Sidweier, this daughter, by her side to raise her, but tried to let her take another path, which is the inheritance of the Moon Rabbit's legendary savior—the Moon-Illuminated Lion-Heart Rabbit.

It's just that the Moon-Illuminated Lion-Heart Rabbit can be seen from the name. To complete the evolution, two elements are needed: one is enough moon power, and the other is a heart like a lion.

There is no need to worry about moon power. Although the world is about to be destroyed, a "dying camel is bigger than a horse." Even if it is a dying world, the remaining power is terrifying for an individual organism, enough to complete the baptism of the evolution ritual.

It's just that a heart like a lion is a bit difficult. If the Queen chose to keep her daughter by her side and raise her as a princess, it would be easy, but there wouldn't be much hope of raising a little lion.

Therefore, under the guidance of fate, the Queen chose to endure the pain of sending her daughter away from her side, and also set up heavy tests for her life, just to sharpen that lion heart.

It's just that when she heard the story to this point, Sidweier was already furious. She recalled her childhood, which couldn't be described as miserable.

Orphan start, bullied by other children in the orphanage since she was little, and the orphanage staff were a bunch of perverts. Just when she finally beat the orphanage into submission, became the boss of the orphanage, and designed to force those perverted staff away, preparing to live a good life, the orphanage that adopted her had problems and was about to close down.

Thus, she was forced to enter society early and received a beating from society.

However, Sidweier wasn't surprised by this. After all, she was born unlucky, plagued by bad luck, and never encountered anything that went her way. She had long been used to this, and therefore was fearless. Her goal in her heart had always been clear: she must become a powerful Moon Knight in the future.

Although in the strictly graded Moon Rabbit society, it was very difficult, basically impossible, for the lowliest Moon Person to dream of becoming a Moon Knight, and she suffered a lot of ridicule and humiliation along the way, she finally overcame these difficulties one by one.

She went through hardships to get genetic adjustment potions, and racked her brains to get combat skill infusion on the black market...

And now, she finally overcame all hardships and was about to complete her life goal and enjoy the joy of success. Now you tell me everything is a set script?

At this moment, all past skills emerged in Sidweier's heart, making her really almost collapse. She remembered the exaggerated faces of those companions in the orphanage, the template lines of the guys who ridiculed her along the way, her outrageous bad luck, and the various coincidences that happened just right every time she had a miraculous encounter...

Those details she didn't pay much attention to in the past now became exceptionally clear and exceptionally cold.

Yes, all her past experiences, her whole life, were arranged by others. The achievements she has now also directly become meaningless; after all, these were all set by the script.

Her life is meaningless, ridiculous like a clown...

At that moment, even though she knew the Queen in front of her was her mother, she still had a murderous intent in her heart to draw her sword and kill someone.

It's just that the Queen in front of her looked at her calmly, and even took the initiative to hand her a sword.

After all, a young lion king always has to step on the blood of the old lion king to ascend. The Queen, who didn't have much time left, was very willing to be that sacrifice.

It's just that how could Sidweier let her get her wish? She threw the Queen's sword far away in anger, and then plunged into the evolution ritual of the Moon-Illuminated Lion-Heart Rabbit that was not yet ready.

At that moment, she actually wanted to seek death to end this tragic life.

It's just that when death was really coming, when that overly huge moon power was roughly poured into her body, making her whole body a mess, Sidweier was still afraid. She still subconsciously resisted death, her survival instinct fully activated.

She began to regret why she committed suicide so weakly. If she was dissatisfied with the arrangement, she should have resisted. The lost past cannot be changed, but she should have been able to master the future.

Yes, the future. She is only fifteen years old. The past fifteen years were wasted, but she has a longer future.

And although her past life was all a script, others could at most arrange her life trajectory, but her own dreams, her own insights, and the beliefs and sweat she fought for her dreams were all real.

She didn't want to die; she wanted to live...

It's just that everything was too late. Her powerful knight body had become tattered under the impact of this violent moon power. She would soon be completely dissolved by this pure moon power.

But just when her consciousness was nearing its limit, a gentle force wrapped around her, healing all her wounds, making her restless heart calm, as if she had returned to the womb, like an infant...

The ritual was finally successful. Sidweier became a newborn Moon-Illuminated Lion-Heart Rabbit. When she woke up again, she was no longer in the palace, but on the Moon Ark built from the wreckage of the old world.

Around her, a group of "old acquaintances" surrounded her. Hmm, they were indeed very familiar. There were those who bullied her in the same orphanage, those who ridiculed her on the side of the road, those who beat her as villains, those who were beaten by her, those she stole skills from...

These were all old actors who had performed in her life script in the past.

It's just that now, everyone is wearing neat military uniforms, and everyone is kneeling loyally in front of her, waiting for her instructions.

Because whether she is willing or not, she is already the new Moon Queen.

Her mother, whom she hated to the bone, the previous Queen, had already been destroyed along with the old world.

No, more accurately, she had already died before the world was destroyed.

Died to save her.

Sidweier remembered the gentle force that healed her and pulled her back from the line of death, and for a moment, she was very confused.

She never figured out until the end whether that woman's final showdown was also a script, and whether her final choice of suicide was also in her expectation.

Did the Queen sacrifice herself to save her because she was an important salvation prop, or simply because she was her daughter?

Every time she thought of the gentle embrace she felt at the end, Sidweier would be a bit confused and didn't want to think about it anymore.

She actually wanted to just walk away. After all, she was finally free now and didn't want to see these liars who played with her anymore.

It's just that besides those liars, there were more innocent ethnic group members on this ark, especially those children who hadn't grown up yet.

Thinking of the eyes of those children who trusted her and firmly believed that she, the new Queen, would lead them to find a new home, Sidweier couldn't move her legs to leave no matter what.

Once she, the navigator, was lost, this ark of salvation would become a living coffin. After all, the social structure of Moon Rabbits determines that once the head is lost, the entire society cannot operate normally.

Sidweier finally decided to be the Queen for a while, but only for a little while. Once she found a new home for her people, she would leave and pursue her own freedom.

It's just that the only problem is, she, a quasi-warrior who aimed to become a Moon Knight in the past, where would she know how to be a king?

She is still good at leading people to fight, but she really doesn't know how to govern state affairs.

And just when she was scratching her head in the Queen's office, she pulled open the desk drawer and saw a notebook in the empty drawer.

"Salvation Prophecy That Even a Stupid Daughter Can Understand"

Hmm, really, Sidweier almost tore this notebook into pieces. That damn daughter is dead, and she still wants to continue controlling me?

But...

Finally, watching the ark become more and more chaotic, she finally opened the notebook with a tired heart, and according to the order of the notebook, issued political decrees one by one, making the entire ark orderly.

And at the end of the notebook, the Queen's final prophecy was written.

"Stupid daughter, this is my final prophecy. It's not for the ethnic group, it's just for you. It can be considered the only thing I can leave for you. Whether you listen or not is up to you. I really don't want to care about you anymore."

"Go to the witch's world and take a look. Your fated person is in the witch's academy. You just need to go to the witch's Talent Market and wait for the biggest liar."

For this prophecy, Sidweier was disdainful.

Hehe, it's impossible for me to listen to your arrangements again.

It's just that her original destination was indeed the witch world. She needed to go to the witch world to purchase a batch of weapons and then launch an expedition. She needed to capture a new moon world to settle her people.

However, after buying the weapons, she still came to this so-called Talent Market by some strange coincidence.

Hmm, she just went in to take a look. Just one look. She didn't believe it could be such a coincidence that she would meet that liar.
