Chapter 204: Buddhist Moon Rabbit
Feisu Chinese.
Although the true appearance of the two married-woman big sisters surprised Dorothy a bit, after she regained her composure, she seemed even more excited.
She peered at the cigarettes in the hands of these two Moon Rabbit big shots; with her attainments in alchemy, she could naturally distinguish the ingredients at a glance.
This stuff was nowhere near a cigarette; it was clearly a supplement. The main ingredient was Spirit-Condensing Grass, used to soothe mental fatigue, and the secondary ingredient was Blood-Invigorating Grass, used to restore energy.
This stuff was also a bestseller in the Witch World, a must-have medicine for overtime-working dogs. Take a puff when tired from overtime, and you'd instantly be energized, able to continue working overtime feeling refreshed.
Dorothy was also very familiar with this. Although she was still a student and didn't need to work overtime, she liked to have one whenever she was tired from studying. (Smoking is harmful to health; you don't have a witch's lungs, and the cigarettes aren't as healthy as a witch's, so in short, it's best not to touch them.)
It's just that after using them for a long time, the stuff on the market was no longer of any use to her, so she had concocted a few special versions for herself. The tobacco she burned in her pipe last time she bought the Sky Island to cosplay as a detective was one of those.
Therefore, she didn't hesitate to take out her own tobacco box from her pocket and handed it toward the two Moon Rabbit big shots.
"Two sisters, why not try mine? Mine has a stronger kick."
"Uh..."
The Knight Commander, who was just being habitually polite, was stunned by the Moon God's action. But as a veteran overtime-working rabbit, even before opening the cigarette box, she instantly realized this was good stuff.
She looked up at the Moon God opposite her, then revealed a smile.
She admitted that she liked this future master a little; this unpretentious personality was to her liking.
She didn't stand on ceremony, readily took the cigarette box, fished a cigarette paper out of her pocket, rolled a cigarette, held it in her mouth, and then extended a finger, a wisp of flame erupting from her fingertip to light it.
After taking a puff, the Knight Commander's eyes widened instantly, and she handed the tobacco box to the High Priestess beside her.
"This really has a kick; it's much more potent than the cigarettes imported from the witches."
Regarding this, the relieved High Priestess first waved her hand, and an invisible magic barrier separated her and the Knight Commander from the others.
Although the smell of this supplement tobacco could actually be used as incense, she still didn't want to affect others.
"Sorry, it's just that I've been working overtime every day recently, and I can't concentrate without a couple of puffs."
Even though she looked like a decadent young married woman at this moment, the High Priestess's temperament remained gentle. She also took out a long-stemmed pipe and explained while filling it with tobacco.
And after shedding her disguise, her exquisite face indeed held undisguisable fatigue. Based on Dorothy's years of experience staying up late to study, she estimated that the High Priestess hadn't slept for at least half a year.
Although sleep was indeed not a necessity for transcendent races, there was still a mental burden from not resting for a long time. Witches were so powerful yet still retained human work-rest schedules precisely to avoid carrying the fatigue of one day into the next. They became stronger to live better, not to work overtime more efficiently.
It's just that carefree witches could relax like that, but clearly, these Moon Rabbits living in the apocalypse had no choice.
It went without saying that to stabilize the situation of the Moon Rabbit tribe, these two true managers of the tribe probably hadn't rested for a long time, especially since they were saddled with such a Queen.
Dorothy glanced at the silly rabbit beside her who was still shocked by the true appearance of the two elders, couldn't help but support her forehead, and the look she gave the High Priestess and Knight Commander opposite her held a bit more understanding.
Only...
"Moon God, from now on, Queen-sama is entrusted to you."
The two Moon Rabbit big shots, while popping pills, looked up. They blinked, and those four red eyes conveyed this meaning, along with a sense of relief.
Yeah, their silly daughter had finally been sent off; it was a close call that she didn't end up stuck in their hands.
Dorothy: "......"
Fine, she nodded with a wry smile.
As fellow smokers, the one witch and two Moon Rabbits had lost the barriers of race and status at this moment, becoming much closer.
"Alright, let's start talking about business; it's already late today."
Dorothy took out her pocket watch and checked the time; it was already past three in the afternoon. She had to rush home to cook before five, otherwise, a certain angel who had no food to eat and didn't see anyone when she got home from work would probably come looking for her.
"Do you two have any arrangements for the future of the Moon Rabbit tribe?"
The Home Witch directly ignored the silly Moon Rabbit Queen, Sid Weier. Anyway, this Queen was probably just a mascot; the real managers had to be the two opposite her.
"Naturally, we will listen to Moon God's arrangements."
The High Priestess and Knight Commander looked at each other and then answered as such.
But regarding this, Dorothy frowned.
"Two sisters, just call me Dorothy. What I want to hear now is your honest opinions."
Although Moon Rabbits were indeed famous for their blind loyalty, they were, after all, living creatures with thoughts, not robots that only obeyed programs. As an outsider, Dorothy didn't think she had so easily conquered this entire Moon Rabbit tribe.
The silly Queen Sid Weier didn't understand anything, was naively cute, and easy to fool, but the Home Witch didn't think the two old and cunning Moon Rabbit big shots opposite her were that naive either.
Regarding this, the High Priestess and Knight Commander looked at each other again, and then the Knight Commander spoke.
"Dorothy, this is our honest opinion."
Seeing that the Home Witch still didn't believe it, she explained.
"Our Moon Rabbit tribe is different from other races; we live by chasing the guidance of fate. The division of labor within the tribe is clear: the Queen is responsible for management and guidance, I am responsible for military force, and the High Priestess is responsible for research."
"According to the rules, we actually shouldn't overstep our duties, but now the Queen's situation is special, so the High Priestess and I had to step forward. Managing on her behalf is already overstepping; we absolutely cannot touch the duty of guiding the tribe's fate. Since you are the person chosen by the Queen, then your will is the direction the Moon Rabbit tribe will move forward."
Dorothy: "...."
Ah, this. Although she had heard about the Moon Rabbit social structure before, she had only taken it as an exaggeration heard from outsiders. She never expected this group of rabbits to actually be for real.
Sisters, aren't you being a bit too casual?
"Aren't you afraid I'll sell you out? I'm a witch, you know; you know the reputation of witches."
Dorothy asked curiously.
"Naturally, we are afraid, but everything is the guidance of fate. If it really comes to that point, everything is fate. For millions of years, our tribe has lived like this."
The High Priestess, looking like a decadent beauty, took a puff from her pipe, then her red lips parted slightly, exhaling a perfect smoke ring.
Home Witch: "...."
Fine, you live so Buddhist and casually; it's truly a miracle you've survived this long.
But this is what you said yourselves; don't regret it later.
"Are you sure you won't regret it? Don't blame me later for not giving you a chance."
Dorothy confirmed again.
"Mm, we won't regret it. You can arrange whatever you want; we will obey anything."
The Knight Commander and High Priestess nodded and said with certainty.
"Alright, then nothing else. Tomorrow we'll start working on construction together. Come, Sid Weier, it's time for us to officially conclude the contract."
Dorothy took out a contract and said to the Moon Rabbit lady beside her.
Although she should have signed a contract with Sid Weier when she left the talent market, Dorothy didn't sign it at that time. She felt that this silly rabbit was not very reliable and didn't want to bear the infamy of cheating a fool. But now that the people at home had agreed, there was nothing to hesitate about.
Knight Commander and High Priestess: "????"
Wait, what did they just hear? Construction? What is that?
... Moon Rabbit big shots are picking their ears... ===== CHAPTER 205 =====
