Chapter 296: Divination Game

Night fell. When Sophie Liya got off work from the Student Council and returned to the Tower of Radiance, she happened to see the Fairy King retracting her dragon wings and landing on the balcony.

Zhai Wuhun waved at her, which counted as a greeting, and then rushed into the room as a stream of light, finally disappearing into the Home Witch's chest.

Dorothy, wearing a cute pink furry bunny apron, with her soft, black, and shiny long hair tied into a bundle in front of her chest, was preparing dinner in the kitchen. She raised her head and looked at the pure white witch who pushed the door in from the balcony.

"Welcome home, dinner is almost ready."

She welcomed so.

"Hmm."

The Angel Witch nodded slightly. Her high and straight nose sniffed lightly, and the tempting aroma that filled the whole room made her couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, feeling a bit hungry.

Not long after, Dorothy commanded the mage tentacles to bring the plates to the table. Today's dinner was a lobster feast.

A large pot of seafood stew, a table full of various lobster dishes...

The lobster here wasn't that kind of ordinary lobster, but a real Dragon Shrimp, a powerful subspecies with sea dragon blood. Its combat power was very strong. Besides that hard shell, sharp pincers, and annoying moves like jumping and smashing, it was especially good at sneak attacks with high-pressure water guns. If ordinary adventurers encountered one and weren't careful, they would lose their lives to the shrimp.

However, danger was danger, but this shrimp meat was really fragrant, and because the body of this dragon-blood shrimp was huge, hunting one was often enough to eat happily for several days.

Dorothy had been busy building the house all day today, so she was too lazy to make too complicated dishes. She just prepared more than ten ordinary home-cooked dishes like iced lobster sashimi, steamed shrimp with garlic, spicy stir-fried shrimp, shrimp tempura, shrimp dumplings, etc., which could be considered as letting this 'Shrimp Salary King' who made adventurers in the intersection land hear the wind and flee die in its place.

The two sat at the dining table and enjoyed this big meal. The tender, delicious, and chewy shrimp meat made Sophie Liya couldn't stop eating.

It's just that thinking about her recently soaring weight, the antenna on the pure white witch's head jumped, her hand movement stiffened, and she was slightly conflicted.

Hmm, she decided to eat slower to give her stomach time to digest.

Sophie Liya thought of the several divine positions that appeared today. She wanted to ask, but the eldest lady opposite spoke first.

"Sophie Liya, you have to be careful recently. You might be exposed."

Pure White Witch: "???"

Sophie Liya was full of question marks. She looked at the eldest lady suspiciously, not knowing what she was singing again.

"People from the Holy Word Department went to investigate the society station today, and the leader was your cousin."

Dorothy ate a mouthful of seafood soup with satisfaction, then ate a piece of shrimp sashimi cut as thin as a cicada's wing with exquisite knife skills, and only then told the story of the Holy Word Department trio not long ago, especially the harsh words of the little angel at the end.

"Your little cousin is not simple. At such a young age, her acting skills are so exquisite. I almost misjudged her. It's truly terrifying."

Thinking of that little angel who actually acted like a pig to eat the tiger in front of her, Dorothy really couldn't understand.

She was very sure that she had cleaned up all the traces of the previous attack. How exactly did that Phoenix find the clues, and it was so accurate that she directly locked onto Sophie Liya?

You know, even she herself didn't know who the perpetrator was when she followed Alice to see the attack scene at the beginning. It was only later that the hat senior let it slip that she knew it was her roommate's handiwork.

In short, it was very magical.

Thinking about it, Dorothy felt that the problem shouldn't be on her side today. Could it be that Sophie Liya had been targeted by people from the Holy Word Department long ago?

Regarding this, the pure white witch opposite first frowned slightly, but soon her brows unfolded, and she looked at the eldest lady who looked 'terrifying' speechlessly.

"I think you, eldest lady, overestimated the level of my stupid cousin. She probably just hates me so much that whenever she encounters something, she thinks of pinning the problem on me."

Knowing the sister, Sophie Liya thought about her cousin who hadn't been very smart since she was a child, who always came to find her to compete despite her own lack of ability, and then ran back crying after losing, and said speechlessly.

With that girl's IQ, she could find a ghost; I reckon this investigation was probably just something she begged her aunt for after pestering her for a long time to get the investigation order.

Dorothy: "..."

Ah, is there such a possibility?

The Home Witch was shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make some sense.

Sent, it's just that she never expected that there was really someone so unreasonable to this extent, and this time she really hit a blind cat with a dead mouse.

Thinking that she had been fighting with air all along, Dorothy couldn't help but feel angry and cold.

Hateful, that little angel actually dared to make her feel ashamed. Decided, I'll lead a team to investigate the Angel Witches tonight.

"But it should indeed be more low-key. I will let Lucifer lie dormant. Thanks for the reminder."

Although it was probably a reminder for nothing, Sophie Liya still prepared to let the Fallen Angel avatar behave for a period of time. After all, don't fear ten thousand, just fear the 'what if'. She couldn't afford the risk of exposure, so it was better to be cautious.

But then again, how did the eldest lady know that the attack case was done by her?

The pure white witch looked at the eldest lady opposite curiously and asked.

"Then how did you guess me, eldest lady? Did I leave any flaws before? I was in a state of 'confusing fate' before I acted."

Dorothy: "..."

Ah, so cautious?

Although she had long known that this roommate's personality was very cautious, Dorothy was still shocked after hearing the word 'confusing fate'. After all, this state came from the tenth-ring forbidden spell of the prophecy system—the Art of Confusing Fate.

The effect of this forbidden spell is very simple, which is to confuse one's own fate, so that one's actions don't leave future troubles. To use the novel language she understood in her previous life, it's killing without karma, and even if you use divination later, it's hard to be traced.

This is a forbidden spell quite popular among great witches, a must-have magic for killing, setting fires, and traveling at home.

No wonder Alice couldn't find who the murderer was when she asked a prophecy witch to divine it.

It's just that how should she answer Sophie Liya?

After all, she couldn't betray the hat senior.

Dorothy frowned, thought about it, and finally took out her fate coin.

"Sophie Liya, you trust prophecy magic too much. Although fate magic is indeed invincible, you are not invincible. Your ridiculous means are invalid in front of a true child of fate."

The Home Witch showed a mysterious smile and said so.

"Why don't we play a game? Let's bet on whether I can divine the color of your underwear today."

Her gaze glanced slightly at her roommate's graceful figure, and then her smile gradually became perverted.

Because she had already returned home, Sophie Liya had taken off her cumbersome school robe. At this time, she was only wearing a white shirt on her upper body, looking capable and sexy.

The well-fitting white shirt set off her development situation that far exceeded her age, especially the bulging chest, and the top button was therefore bearing unbearable pressure, making people worry whether it would burst and be popped away.

And regarding such a lewd bet proposed by the eldest lady, Sophie Liya didn't have any meaning of shyness.

Of course, if it were someone else saying this to her, then that person would be a dead person now. But since it was the eldest lady, it didn't matter.

"Eldest lady, if you want to see, I can completely take it off for you directly. There's no need to go around in circles like this. However, I accept your challenge."

The pure white witch's eyes, which were shining like gold, but had several black circles in the holy gold, a bit like the Rinnegan, first looked at her eldest lady with disdain, and then nodded.

Thus, she first put down the knife and fork in her hand, then snapped her fingers casually, and looked at the opposite side calmly, waiting for the eldest lady's performance.

Indeed, there is no invincible magic, only invincible people. Even the fate magic, which is honored as the supreme art, is the same. That is the miracle art that only the favorite of fate can perfectly exert its full power, and it is the privilege that only belongs to the child of fate.

But who isn't a child of fate?

Sophie Liya thought of her life experience, and her eyes dimmed slightly.

She was originally the child of fate created by her crazy mother to inherit the position of the God King Saintess.

Only a witch whose destiny is higher than hers can see through her destiny, but there are really not many witches in this world whose destiny is higher than hers.

After all, her destiny is connected to the God King. As long as she pulls out that God King sword later, she is the successor appointed by the God King, and her destiny is equivalent to the God King's crown prince, the crown prince's destiny.

So if you want to win her destiny, you must be a king's destiny, a witch king who has destiny.

Although she recognizes the eldest lady's identity and is willing to offer loyalty to her and serve by her side, but ah, if it is a comparison of destiny, let alone the eldest lady, even the teacher is difficult to compare with her.

"Uh..."

This was the first time Dorothy saw Sophie Liya casting spells in full state, and she couldn't help but shrink her pupils in shock.

Sent, forbidden spell instant cast? She was originally so fierce?

The Home Witch was very shocked, so much so that she started to doubt whether her roommate had released the sea when they dueled before.

After all, this is forbidden spell instant cast.

She had tried the difficulty of casting forbidden spells in the arena of the Tribunal last night. Don't look at her performance that was quite good at that time, and she seemed to have completed the instant cast time stop.

But that time she was cheating, which didn't count as a real instant cast. After all, the unique magic characteristics of time stop made the time flow slow down when she started casting, one second could be several seconds, and there was a guiding will in front to guide, she only needed to follow behind.

This is like having a police car to open the way on a traffic jam road, a completely simple mode.

If it were really letting Dorothy cast spells

According to her estimation, she would need at least one... to reach the realm of instant-casting for time-stop.

Hmm, about a month, that should be about right. After all, the casting difficulty of a Forbidden Spell is dozens of times that of a high-rank magic. She has confidence in getting the hang of high-rank magic in a day or two, but a Forbidden Spell really needs to be pondered carefully for a period of time.

Who makes Forbidden Spells so troublesome? A normal tenth-ring Forbidden Spell, if the casting time is not shortened at all, might require chanting for a day, and some particularly complex Forbidden Spells might even require two or three days or even longer for casting preparation.

And to shorten a casting time of one day or even several days to a single instant, the difficulty of this can be imagined.

The vast majority of Grand Witches may never reach the level of instant-casting Forbidden Spells in their entire lives. Those who can reduce the long casting time of a Forbidden Spell to within ten minutes are considered geniuses; reducing it to within one minute makes them the pride of heaven; reducing it to within ten seconds makes them absolute monsters and freaks. As long as they don't die young, becoming a Peak is not an issue. As for instant-casting, one can only say that this child has the potential to become a Sage.

It is no wonder that even someone as arrogant as Senior Fan Ni couldn't help but praise Sophie Liya's aptitude, stating directly that she had the potential of a Sage. Now it seems it is indeed true; at only sixteen years old, she can instant-cast Forbidden Spells. Where does this leave those Grand Witches who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years and still can't do it?

"Hehe, Qian Bao, do you know you're afraid now? Just because I can see through her Fate-Bewitching Art doesn't mean you can. Let's see how you end this; you have to finish the bluff you started, even if you're crying and screaming."

Above Dorothy's head, the Eyes of the Stars on the brim of her wide witch hat narrowed into a smile; Senior Fan Ni was having the time of her life.

Previously, the Home Witch had secretly asked her how she knew it was Sophie Liya who made the move. Her answer was that one just needs to see through the Fate-Bewitching Art, and then this stupid master directly initiated a bet against the Pure White Witch.

Tsk, what arrogance. Why does this girl think that what I can do, she can do too? Does my dignified future Fourth King not have any face?

Senior Fan Ni thought with a bit of a pout.

What is her strength? Even without considering the status of the Fourth King of Destiny, she is now a genuine Sage, alright?

So where did this Qian Bao get the confidence to think that what a Sage can do, she can do too? Who gave her this kind of courage?

Hmph, anyway, I will absolutely not help you cheat this time. Let's see how you end this.

The troll senior's nature erupted, and she prepared to watch the show happily.

Dorothy: "..."

Senior, you're setting me up again. You troll, you'll eventually fall because of your trolling.

The Home Witch was shivering with anger for a while.

To be honest, she doesn't have much confidence right now either. After all, from the fact that Sophie Liya can instant-cast destiny-type Forbidden Spells, she understood that her roommate is also a chosen one, a Daughter of Destiny. How can she, a tiny transmigrator, play against a true Child of Destiny?

But there's no way around it; the bluff she started must be finished. Even if she loses in the end, she absolutely will not accept the cowardly act of surrendering without a fight.

"Hmph, at worst, I'll just be laughed at."

Dorothy hardened her heart and directly tossed the coin in her hand.

At this moment, she could only pray that her magical intuition would give her some face and let the divination succeed.

Divination Witch's coin game, activate.

Clang...

The crisp sound of the coin echoed in the room, and then, under the gaze of the two witches, the commemorative coin flipped and flew into the sky, then fell naturally.

Slap...

Dorothy slapped the coin onto the back of her hand and then looked at the face of the coin.

Yay, it's heads, the divination succeeded.

The Home Witch laughed immediately.

Hehe, what kind of scrub Daughter of Destiny, under my magical intuition, all destiny is trash. Sophie Liya, let me take a good look at your unchangeable destiny.

Dorothy closed her eyes and carefully interpreted the results of the divination; layers of images unfolded before her.

But as she watched, the smile on her face gradually froze.

Good news, the divination succeeded.

Bad news, this divination was too successful; this is not the future she wanted.

... Divination interpretation in progress...
