Chapter 381: Promise

After the happy celebration banquet, everyone returned to the Tower of Radiance together and returned to their own homes.

It's just that Sophie Liya looked at her Young Lady somewhat strangely.

"Is your problem of being dizzy from teleportation cured?"

The Pure White Witch asked somewhat surprised.

Because it was already very late when they returned, everyone didn't choose to fly back slowly this time, but chose the teleportation array. Sophie Liya was originally quite worried about whether her Young Lady would vomit all the dinner she had just eaten, but unexpectedly, this time the Young Lady was very normal and didn't get sick.

"Of course not cured, but I found a good way to alleviate the symptoms."

Dorothy smiled proudly, with a mysterious face.

"What way?"

The angel witch asked casually out of curiosity.

"Hmph hmph, secret, you will know when you learn from each other tomorrow. I have to keep this as a trump card."

Dorothy raised her head proudly and said mysteriously.

Everyone had already agreed to test the performance of that White Dragon battleship together tomorrow, and then find an arena to learn from each other. After all, just the attribute description on the ID card was ultimately too abstract, and specific strength still had to be cleared after fighting.

In fact, the method Dorothy used to prevent dizziness from teleportation was that forbidden spell 【Space Control】 she got from the Inquisition. This forbidden spell was not an external-release spell like 【Time Stop】, but a continuous buff spell. Once the spell was successful, the user would enter a strengthened state similar to divine possession. In this state, her adaptability and affinity for space would greatly increase, and manipulating space to make various changes and achieve various effects would become as simple and natural as controlling her own limbs.

Every time she had sequelae from teleportation in the past, it was because her strength was too weak, making her unable to understand the spatial laws received during the teleportation process. Those spatial laws were like professional foreign language papers given to an elementary school student in her perception. Besides being dizzy and having a headache, the learning effect was very touching.

But now it's different. Once entering the 【Space Control】 state, she was equivalent to bringing her own translation software. The indescribable spatial rules that were difficult for her to understand before were all translated into human language. Although the amount of information was still very large, Dorothy was not good at anything else, but her learning ability was strong, and it was not difficult to understand.

Well, it can only be said that it is worthy of being a forbidden-level spell, it is really powerful, directly making the teleportation pain household like the Home Witch fall in love with teleportation. Now Dorothy even wished to teleport more every day to better learn and perceive spatial laws.

Of course, because she was afraid of dizziness after teleportation, she opened a forbidden spell as a special medicine, this kind of thing sounds a bit outrageous, and has a sense of waste like using an anti-aircraft gun to hit a mosquito, but who let 【Space Control】 be a continuous spell, and the consumption is also continuous.

Therefore, as long as it is turned off as soon as it is turned on, the consumption of mana and mental power required is acceptable even for a weak witch like Dorothy.

It's just a pity that it's a magic that was just learned, and it's a forbidden spell, so the learning difficulty is extremely high. Even Dorothy couldn't cast it instantly. Although the main goal of her spell research these days was this, now she still needs about five minutes of casting time at the fastest, even with the help of No. 2 and No. 3 to assist in casting, but this is still quite troublesome.

The Home Witch still hoped to cast this practical forbidden spell instantly as soon as possible. It's just that, even with her learning speed, if she wants to reach the level of instant casting, it will take...

Well, about a month, add more overtime to make surprise attacks, maybe it can be faster.

Dorothy calculated so in her heart.

Sigh, actually, among the three forbidden spell slots, the one she most wanted to study was the handsome 【Time Stop】. It's just that in order not to be too embarrassing every time she teleports, she had to tearfully study 【Space Control】 first.

Of course, the main thing was that no matter how well she learned the other two forbidden spells, if she didn't rely on the mana-free consumption support of the spell slot, she couldn't release them. Only 【Space Control】 had the smallest consumption and could barely be used as a trump card.

Hmph, let you guys laugh at me for being weak today. Tomorrow I will open a cheat and kill you all. Just wait for the forbidden spell.

The lethality of the space system was a direct kill below the Great Witch, and it also had a not-low threat to the Great Witch. As long as the operation was appropriate, she...

Emmmmm... forget it, don't dream. Now she is not before. At that time, others didn't know her, and she could pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, hitting people by surprise.

Dorothy didn't think that her few society good sisters would underestimate her or release water during the sparring tomorrow, so she was hitting a hammer with that huge mana gap.

Unless she really shamelessly cheats with the spell slot, otherwise her positioning for herself tomorrow is the mouth-strong king in the audience, and the performance on the field is successful as long as she can break the defense.

And 【Space Control】 she can now cast it herself without relying on the spell slot. Whether she can break the defense of her good sisters tomorrow depends entirely on this.

"Oh, is that so? Then I will look forward to your performance tomorrow, Young Lady."

Seeing the mysterious look of the Home Witch, Sophie Liya also raised her eyebrows. She said so with full malice in her eyes.

The Pure White Witch had already decided that she would definitely not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy like last time in the sparring tomorrow. When she sparred with the Young Lady again, she would definitely take out all her strength and treat it seriously. She would definitely report the revenge of the second-kill and corpse-shattering last time.

Dorothy: "....."

Ah this, Sophie Liya, aren't we good sisters? Wouldn't it be better to let the past go? Life always has to look forward, right?

Seeing the malicious look of her roommate, Dorothy knew without mind-reading that she definitely wanted revenge. This made her tremble with fear. Wouldn't she be tortured and abused tomorrow?

Don't, I don't want this kind of thing, I'm afraid of pain.

The shameful Home Witch was terrified in her heart.

"Hmph, then just wait and see tomorrow."

Of course, as the mouth-strong king, even if she was very cowardly in her heart, Dorothy was still stubborn in her mouth. After saying this, she prepared to slip away to her room.

It's not early, she should go to the Inquisition to see how those guys from the Saint Son Faction who were caught this morning were interrogated.

It's just...

"Young Lady, wait...."

Suddenly, Sophie Liya pulled her hand and called her.

Dorothy: "....."

The Home Witch looked down at the hands that were just held together.

Ah this, so tender, so soft, so smooth, a bit comfortable.

At this moment, she was unexpectedly a bit shy. After all, as a pure love fighter, she hadn't held other girls' hands a few times in her two lives.

Well, Little Alice's hand doesn't count, she is a sister, is family, doesn't count.

And it seemed that she noticed the Young Lady's gaze, and Sophie Liya also realized that she was out of order. She let go of her hand like an electric shock, and at the same time, there was a slight blush on her white face.

This was really the first time she held hands with someone other than her Master.

... Two witches facing each other shyly...

The atmosphere in the living room where only two single witches were facing each other was slightly awkward, and there was a small ambiguity in the awkwardness.

"Anything else?"

Dorothy was the first to open her mouth, breaking the silence.

Sophie Liya: "I just wanted to ask...."

The Pure White Witch stopped talking.

She just pulled the Young Lady naturally to ask about the matter that she didn't have a chance to ask in the society residence before, which was the matter of the Inquisition sealing the Divine King Cathedral before.

It's just that the words

It was as if she had known about the teacher's identity as the Grand Inquisitor for a long time, and the teacher also knew that she knew this secret, but the two master and apprentice had tacitly agreed for so many years that neither would speak of it, and neither would ask.

Both of them were worried that breaking this layer of film would affect their relationship and feelings for each other. Some secrets are better kept in the heart; it's not good to say them out loud.

And Sophie Liya actually considered herself to be incompatible with the Young Lady in terms of personality and values. The reason the two lived together was entirely because of the teacher's mission. Naturally, there was no talk of any feelings, so there were no concerns, which is why she thought of asking directly.

But it just so happened that the inexplicable hand-holding in a moment of urgency just now directly interrupted the Pure White Witch's plan. Now, this strange atmosphere actually made it difficult for her to really ask the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Besides, not talking about feelings, if her plan succeeds later and she doesn't die, she will still have to serve the Young Lady well and be her vassal. If she asks too bluntly now and it affects the relationship between monarch and subject later, wouldn't that be bad?

The Angel Witch felt a little conflicted in her heart.

Besides, her relationship with those so-called compatriots in the Divine King Cathedral wasn't that great either. Whatever happened to them seemed to have nothing to do with her, and it really wasn't worth risking offending her future lord for their sake.

Hmm, Sophie Liya, Sophie Liya, you must remember the life principle of maximizing benefits in everything.

Countless thoughts flashed through the Pure White Witch's mind, and she quickly made up her mind.

"I just wanted to ask if what you said yesterday, Young Lady, was a joke or for real."

Sophie Liya finally changed the way she asked.

"Eh? What words? What did I say yesterday?"

Hearing this question, Dorothy was stunned. She didn't remember it for a moment, but after quickly flipping through her memory palace, she found the memory of herself acting as if she hadn't taken her medicine.

"Then the contract is established, Sophie Liya. Prepare yourself. When the Witch's Night festival ends next week, that will be the day you ascend to become the Divine King's Holy Son. I said so."

She seemed to have promised that at the time.

But since when would Sophie Liya be interested in her daily nonsense, and even specifically ask about it?

Dorothy was a bit puzzled.

However, when she looked up at the roommate in front of her and stared into those golden pupils that looked like golden rings cast from gold, she saw seriousness in the Pure White Witch's eyes, along with a hint of vague expectation.

At this moment, the Home Witch also became serious, her brain working rapidly.

Something is wrong. The normal Sophie Liya definitely wouldn't be interested in my nonsense, let alone ask so seriously. Did she discover something?

The Home Witch quickly remembered her arrest operation against the Holy Son Sect this morning, and Sophie Liya is the Student Council President. Things happening in the Witch Academy definitely couldn't be hidden from this campus emperor. Then...

Hiss, my perfect Joker mask has been dropped just like that?

No way, is my disguise that bad? How come everyone can recognize me at a glance? And here I was, trying so hard to pretend.

Dorothy couldn't help but gasp, feeling very unconvinced.

Being recognized by Alice at the Tribunal before was one thing; after all, she is her own sister, they have spent a long time together, and Alice's dog nose is indeed powerful. She did forget to disguise her scent at that time, but ever since then, she had re-strengthened her disguise. Why was she recognized by Sophie Liya again?

And Sophie Liya didn't even go to the scene. How exactly did she see through my perfect disguise?

The Home Witch couldn't help but feel angry and shivering.

Although she didn't really think this Joker mask could hide her for long, the speed at which it was exposed was still faster than she expected.

And after all, she is a member of the Tribunal, and Sophie Liya is her surveillance target. It's really awkward to have her mask dropped so suddenly.

And will Sophie Liya feel like she was betrayed by me? Will she be angry with me?

In a flash, the Home Witch also understood everything and couldn't help but feel very guilty, not daring to look at the Pure White Witch again.

The atmosphere in the living room became silent once again.

However, the silence was soon broken again.

"So, Young Lady, is your promise still valid?"

Sophie Liya asked again.

From the moment the Young Lady suddenly lowered her head in guilt, she understood that the Young Lady had also realized the meaning behind her question.

"Naturally, it is valid. I keep my word, Sophie Liya. Just as you promised before that you would never betray me, I will also never betray my family."

Being questioned again, seeing that there was no way to escape, Dorothy took a deep breath, then raised her head, her gaze meeting the Pure White Witch's again. This time she didn't dodge, but spoke seriously.

She even joined the Tribunal for the sake of this roommate, okay? If it weren't for Sophie Liya, she would still be happily working on the construction site right now.

"Hmm, I know. Then I will really go and prepare the inauguration speech."

Hearing the Young Lady's resolute answer, the Pure White Witch smiled. It was no longer the business-like fake smile of her usual President mode, but a truly happy smile. Even those phoenix eyes, which were usually very dignified, became much softer, as if ice and snow were melting.

She nodded, answered like that, and after speaking, turned around and went straight back to her room.

She had already asked what she wanted to ask, and she had already obtained the answer she wanted. She was also very satisfied with this result.

She could feel the seriousness and sincerity in the Young Lady's answer just now, which made her very gratified. Although her trust in the Young Lady was actually entirely based on the fact that she was the teacher's daughter, now it proved that at least she hadn't trusted the wrong person, and that was enough.

Since the Young Lady has already started to act, then she has nothing to be afraid of. Let's start the plan in advance.

As for the final success or failure, let's leave that to fate.

Anyway, no matter what the result is, she feels that she can accept it calmly now.

After all, even if she really fails, it's no big deal. At the very least, she has had the two beautiful memories of the teacher and the Young Lady in her life, so it won't be that much of a tragedy.

"Family?"

Thinking about this word that the Young Lady always had on her lips, Sophie Liya shook her head and closed the door.

In the living room, Dorothy was full of question marks.

Ah, this, is that it???

Aren't angry girls very hard to coax? I was already waiting to deal with the trouble, how come it's over just like that? Was Sophie Liya such an easy girl to handle?

The Home Witch scratched her head.

Although she is also a witch in this life, she still doesn't understand the female heart very well.

... The Home Witch is in a fog...
