Chapter 26

The next morning, the Dragon Witch's luxury carriage arrived at the door on time.

Dorothy had just come out of her room with her suitcase when she saw Euphilia sitting on the sofa. The tall dragon witch still had a full aura and was full of oppressive power. Although she was a guest, she took the initiative and made the host sitting opposite her hard to handle in terms of momentum.

Seeing Dorothy come out with her suitcase, a flash of joy crossed Euphilia's eyes. She felt that her daughter should have made the right choice.

On the other side, Adam had a flash of sadness in his eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but sighed in the end and didn't speak.

He had said yesterday that no matter what choice his daughter made, he would support her.

Moreover, having lived together for so many years, Adam knew his daughter's personality. She was more like a human than a witch. Even if she walked on the path of armed combat in the future, he thought she wouldn't become as bloodthirsty and crazy as other witches.

Even if his daughter finally became a witch completely, Adam accepted it. After so many years, his thoughts had changed compared to more than ten years ago.

At that time, he had even been looking at this daughter with the eyes of a future war criminal, full of thoughts of making this child turn over a new leaf. But now, it seemed quite ridiculous.

This was his daughter, the successor of his bloodline. She was not the crystallization of his sins, but the continuation of his life, a redemption bestowed by heaven, and an independent person. What right did he have to force his will on this child?

His hatred for war was his own business. Whether the child liked it or not should be decided by the child herself. In this world dominated by witches, he, who had ideals but was powerless to change, was the patient. Why let his daughter become the same patient?

Forcing a beast that should eat meat to eat vegetables in the name of "for your own good" was the real sin. Although Adam still firmly believed that it wasn't him who was wrong, but this cruel world, and that virtues like kindness, justice, and benevolence should be observed and carried forward, and should never be taken for granted as barbaric aggression and killing for any reason.

But unlike before, he no longer required Dorothy to observe these beliefs of his.

It was enough for his daughter to spend every day happily in the future. As a father, he didn't want to ask for anything more.

"Merciful Lord, if there is really good and evil retribution in this world, then if Dorothy really walks her mother's path in the future, please attribute her sins to me."

This man, who had spent his whole life pursuing the truth, prayed to the ethereal gods for the first time, blessing his daughter to live a safe and happy life.

It's just that when Euphilia stood up, walked to her daughter's front, and wanted to take the suitcase from her hand to take her home, she found that her daughter didn't let go of the hand holding the suitcase.

The dragon witch was a bit puzzled. She looked at the young witch in front of her seriously, waiting for her answer.

"Mo... Mother, I thought about it seriously last night and have figured it out. I want to be the master of my own life. If you can agree with me, I hope you can witness my life."

Although the misunderstanding between mother and daughter was cleared up, after all, they had only met for the third time strictly speaking. Dorothy finally couldn't easily open her mouth to call her "Mom," so she had to take a step back and use the more serious "Mother," and stated her determination.

She was almost an adult. Only children do multiple-choice questions. As an adult witch, she chose "three"—she wanted everything, and she wanted nothing.

"I don't want to just follow you back and walk on the life path you planned and arranged for me under your protection. This is not because of Father's influence on me; it's simply a choice I made with my own will. I want to live a life that belongs to me."

"I want to go to the Witch Academy to study next. After graduation, I might find a few like-minded companions to go adventuring and establish my own witch territory. Although you think Father's ideas are naive, ridiculous, or even cowardly, I actually agree with some of Father's viewpoints. This world shouldn't just be a relationship of oppression and being oppressed. In the future, I want to establish a special witch territory. I want all my companions and my subjects to live happily."

"Mother, there are always some beautiful things in this world that shouldn't be forgotten or even spurned, and not everything that is popular is necessarily correct. I want to try to do some things within my power. I hope you can forgive my willfulness."

Dorothy gathered her courage and stared at the eyes of the majestic dragon witch in front of her, saying her thoughts seriously, and then bowed, requesting and looking forward to the understanding and respect of this relative who was connected to her by blood.

On the other side, Euphilia also looked at the stubborn daughter in front of her seriously. There seemed to be flames burning in the young witch's eyes. That was the light of the heart of a person with ideals, beautiful and pure. Even she, as a Peak Witch, couldn't help but be infected.

But...

"I refuse."

The Dragon Witch spat out these three words coldly.

Uh...

Dorothy looked up in astonishment, looking at her mother in front of her.

Mom, why don't you play cards according to the routine? Normally, shouldn't it be a touching and tear-jerking plot of "mother-kind and daughter-filial" now? You really are as Father said, you don't understand the human heart at all.

Being rejected, she was also a bit angry. Who cares if you support it or not? Anyway, her path had already been thought out. Since the happy homebody life in the original plan had been broken and she couldn't be a homebody anymore, she had to find something to do. It was rare to transmigrate once, so she had to do something she really wanted to do.

Anyway, inheriting billions of family properties by going back with you is impossible, absolutely impossible. The Dragon Kingdom is full of war-crazed monsters. The air there is filled with the smell of muscles and sweat. I am completely out of place there. If I go back, I might be trained to death by you on the battlefield. I'm really not good at fighting.

Holding such thoughts, she quietly took a step back, moved a little further away from the tall dragon witch in front of her, and then looked at her vigilantly, fearing that the other party would be annoyed by her and do it directly to tie her up.

Although this was of no use. The whole family here added together might not be enough for Euphilia to fight with one hand. After all, the combat power of the two little witches, Dorothy and Alice, forget it, don't mention it. Although Father is a high-tier mage, he is actually a theoretical king who does research. The human garbage attribute panel drags down his strength.

Stepmother Annie is a genuine big witch. Even though she is doing research witch work now, she is actually a retired veteran from the battlefield and took the path of armed-to-research. So don't look at her short stature and harmless appearance, her real combat power is amazing. The Haiyue Witch, the lord of this Haiyue City, might not be able to beat this good girlfriend.

But unfortunately, the biological mother opposite is a Peak Witch, and she is also a Dragon Witch recognized as the number one in combat power at the same level. Stepmother's little ability might not be able to hold on for three moves in her hands.

Fortunately, Euphilia still looked quite calm and didn't mean to do it unreasonably, so Dorothy gathered her courage and asked carefully.

"Why not?"

"You are too weak, my daughter. In this world, no one will listen to your reasoning without strength. You must first learn to convince people with force. If you want to get my support and go adventuring alone after graduation, then first let me recognize your strength."

Euphilia still kept a straight face and said very straightforwardly.

Although these words were said by a Peak Witch and her own mother, Dorothy still found them very harsh and unpleasant. She now understood why the Dragon Kingdom had always been notorious. Besides the fact that they were really good at fighting, maybe this straightforward "simpleton" personality was also an important reason. This mouth offends people as soon as it opens.

"Then how can you recognize my strength? You won't want me to become a Peak Witch to recognize me, right?"

Dorothy frowned slightly and asked.

"That's not necessary. As long as you defeat her. She is the disciple I took, and she is also your age. As long as you can defeat her before graduating from the academy, your strength will be considered qualified. Then I will allow you to go out and adventure independently. Otherwise, you'd better go back with me and practice. You can come out after a few years when your strength reaches the standard."

The dragon witch reached out and pointed at the follower beside her, and then said.

Dorothy followed her mother's finger and looked, and then was surprised to see that familiar pure white.
