Chapter 394

Because there is no unified concept of time and space within the Spirit Realm, everything here is very abstract. Therefore, navigating through the Spirit Realm via transition is quite difficult; after all, you might not even know where the path lies.

Moreover, everything around is constantly changing. Except for the suns embodied by the Three Kings and the starry sky embodied by big shots like the Sage Peak, everything else is in constant flux, so naturally, there are no road signs or the like to distinguish direction or locate oneself.

Generally speaking, if you want to accurately travel to a certain location or find a certain person in the Spirit Realm, it is best to have a token as a locator first. If that really doesn't work, you must at least remember the other person's aura or something similar, so that you can build a connection between the two and then navigate along this connection.

Hmm, early Spirit Realm transitions were all like this, but ever since Lord Demon King constructed the epoch-making great miracle of the Mana Web, everything has become much more convenient.

Even if it is a place you have never been to, and there is no token or aura to guide you, as long as the other party has made their location public on the Mana Web, you can follow the network cable to get there. This is much easier than not being able to get there.

The place Dorothy and the others want to go today is a prosperous witch territory near the Witch Academy, known as the City of Glory.

This is a first-tier major city in the Angel Kingdom. The founder of the territory was a loyal and powerful ancient angel witch who had followed Lord God King since her early years.

Of course, that ancient angel witch had long since passed the position to her descendants, and she herself had long since entered Lord God King's Divine Realm, too lazy to ask about those trivial matters, focusing entirely on her own path to becoming a god.

However, unlike most other angel witch families that get worse with each generation, this City of Glory has not lived up to its name; it is one of the few outliers among the generally declining angel witch families that is striving to move upward.

Even if it cannot be said that every generation of successors is stronger than the previous one, at the very least they have all been satisfactory, and often a genius or two appears every few generations. After more than one hundred thousand years of development, it has already become the most prosperous territory city in the Angel Witch Kingdom.

Hmm, it is even much more prosperous than the Witch Academy. After all, although the Witch Academy is the capital of the Angel Kingdom, the central territory, and also the ancestral land, its status is special.

But the overall development of the Academy is still biased toward academic inheritance and cultural inheritance. At the same time, there is a concern that students will only focus on enjoyment and affect their studies, so commerce and the like are basically in a state of "just good enough."

Therefore, if you only look at economic development, the Witch Academy might only be at a mid-to-upper level in the Angel Kingdom, while this City of Glory is the economic center of the entire Angel Kingdom, incomparably prosperous.

Since today is considered a day out for fun, naturally one must go to see a real big city, which is why Dorothy chose this Territory of Glory as the destination.

"Mm-hmm, I understand, Senior Sister. You can safely leave the navigation task to me."

Audrey was quite confident about this. She held her head high and chest out, manipulating the fox puppet to guarantee this.

"Yes, yes, yes, our lives are all in your hands. You'd better not lead us into a ditch."

Looking at her junior sister like this, Dorothy didn't want to dampen the little fox's confidence, but in fact, she was a little panicked in her heart. After all, who made this socially anxious junior sister always feel unreliable?

"I won't! I've been to that City of Glory before."

The little fox, having been questioned, glared at this bad senior sister again, then huffily fished out her spellbook.

"Mana Web Access."

Accompanied by the turning of the pages of the exquisite spellbook in Audrey's hand, the power of the Mana Web was also drawn down.

Dorothy and the others raised their heads, looking out from the small house on the dragon's back, and saw the tip of the iceberg of the behemoth that covers the Spirit Realm.

The Mana Web is untraceable in reality, just as mortals cannot perceive mobile phone signals, but in the Spirit Realm, this virtual network has a physical entity. Or rather, the Mana Web was originally set up through the Spirit Realm. Those virtual reality-like Mana Web functions are essentially just connecting people's soul bodies into the dream world that has already been edited within the Spirit Realm.

If Dorothy were willing now, she could actually find the true form of games like "Mana Web Duel" or "Warship Collection" in the Spirit Realm. Even though Mana Web societies generally hide the locations of their own Spirit Realm worlds, this could not stump the Home Witch.

It's just that while she could find them, there was no need. Moreover, these artificial fantasy worlds are definitely guarded by guards hired by game companies. If you suddenly show up at the door, it's easy to be treated as a troublemaker.

"So beautiful."

Everyone raised their heads, looking at the Mana Web manifesting outside, sighing like this.

At this moment, an aurora-like celestial phenomenon suddenly appeared above everyone's heads. Those colorful rays of light were constantly changing, dreamlike and illusory. It's just that this endless aurora was like a huge spider web covering the entire Spirit Realm; the area within everyone's sight might not even count as the tip of its iceberg.

And as Audrey accessed the Mana Web, a rainbow suddenly diverged from the aurora and descended from the sky. This bridge turned into a bridge, pointing out the direction for everyone.

The pure white beautiful giant dragon spread its wings, soaring between this rainbow and aurora. Above its head was seven colors, and below its body was also seven colors. Only the illusory dreamscapes rapidly receding around it remained unrestrained, changing, and unpredictable....

Everyone didn't know exactly how long they had been flying. After all, in the dream-like Spirit Realm, time has no meaning; an instant can be eternity, and eternity is but a fleeting moment.

Dorothy and the others only saw that the rainbow bridge suddenly had an end, and thus understood that the destination had arrived.

And so, reality and illusion shifted again.

The lifelike white giant dragon was like crashing into a water mirror; the mirror surface rippled, the giant dragon crashed in, and the warship came out.

When the witches opened their eyes again and looked forward, the outlines of behemoths were already vaguely visible in the sea of clouds in the distance.

That was a vast territory composed of countless floating islands of various sizes. Just at the first glance, it was at least four or five times the size of the Witch Academy.

It was so huge that even from a great distance, everyone still could not fully take in the entire city at a single glance.

"Holy cow, is it this big?"

Dorothy couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

After all, she was a country bumpkin from an obscure, backwater place. She had originally thought the Witch Academy was spectacular enough, but now she finally understood what a true first-tier witch city was.

Even though she had actually seen photos and videos of those big cities on the Mana Web, those fake images were ultimately not as shocking as seeing the real thing with her own eyes.

And her embarrassing appearance also left Sophie Liya, who was beside her, speechless.

"Young Lady, if you look at the City of Glory purely in terms of scale in the entire Witch World, it actually only barely squeezes into the top ten. You don't need to be so surprised. After all, the future owner of the private territory that truly ranks first is right by your side."

The pure white witch pointed to Senior Sister Miya beside her and said this.

Hmm, after all, purely looking at the level of prosperity, who can compare to the Golden Township of the Astrolos family? That is the true number one big city in the Witch World, the economic center of the entire world.

"Uh...."

Dorothy, upon hearing this, finally remembered the Golden Princess beside her. Afterward, she recalled everyone's evaluation of the City of Wealth, Golden Township, on the Mana Web.

Hmm, the other nine of the ten great cities combined could probably only reach half the scale of Golden Township.

Ah, this.....

The Home Witch suddenly had a brand new understanding of the gold content of the richest person in the Witch World.

"It's not that exaggerated. My family just happens to have money left over. It's fine for shopping, but there's nothing else fun to do. If you really have to talk about the most beautiful city, you have to go to the capital of literature and art, Venus. That is the hall of beauty and art."

Facing everyone's gaze, Senior Sister Miya also modestly waved her hand, then looked at Audrey beside her.

Hmm, that city of art, because of its special situation, is not a lord system, but an alliance system. However, the influence of Audrey's two mothers' families in that alliance has always been very high.

Back in the day, the Succubus and Nine-Tailed Fox families fought very fiercely, and could even be said to be incompatible like fire and water. But heaven knows what happened in this generation; the leaders of the two families fought and fought until they took a liking to each other, then got married at light speed, and even had two children in a row.

"Eh, does everyone want to come to my house to play during the holiday later? I've grown up this big and haven't brought friends back yet. If they see everyone, Mother and the others will definitely be very happy."

Seeing everyone looking at her again, Audrey, although a little shy, still mustered up the courage to issue such an invitation.

Mother and the others had always been worried that she was being bullied at school, but if she could introduce her friends to Mother and the others, she believed that the family could finally rest assured about her.

That's what the little fox thought in her heart.

And Dorothy: "......"

The Home Witch was slightly silent.

She had finally figured it out; everyone in her club really had an extraordinary family background. Just her.....

emmmm... wait, what does my family do again?

Dorothy suddenly discovered that she seemed to not know what her family did.

At the moment, she cast a questioning gaze toward Sophie Liya.

And the pure white witch understood her Young Lady's confusion in a second. She was slightly silent for a moment, then turned her head.

"Teacher is relatively good at fighting."

"Hmm, I know that. And then?"

Dorothy nodded. She had long known that her mother's combat power was very strong.

"And then, the followers under her command are also very good at fighting."

The angel witch hesitated for a moment and had to say this.

"Mm-hmm, I know that too. Anything else?"

The Home Witch blinked and continued to ask.

"Also, the servant army has strict military discipline, and everyone is good at fighting."

Sophie Liya also blinked and answered like this.

The two began to stare at each other with wide eyes.

Dorothy: "....."

The Home Witch was silent. Although this was indeed very consistent with her mother's personality, was this a bit too reckless?

Could it be that other people's families are rich and beautiful, but my family has guns?

"Fine."

After flashing through the peculiar style of her family, where everyone was a villain like the heroes of Liangshan, Dorothy suddenly felt that it might not be convenient for her to invite friends to visit her home like the little fox in this lifetime.

Oh my god, the daughter of a crime boss is actually me.

It's over. No wonder Mother always wanted her to be some kind of armed witch. It's the family style. It really is that she knows nothing but armed force.

Just like that, the White Dragon warship flew toward the city gate in normal flight mode at the speed of light, and they were not the only ones entering the city.

All kinds of vehicles around were constantly finishing their transitions and appearing. There were all types: carriages, airships, various rare and exotic beasts, etc., with a wide variety of styles.

However, even among so many peculiar vehicles, Dorothy and the others' White Dragon warship was still unique, with an off-the-charts head-turning rate. It was just like a supercar suddenly appearing on the road in her previous life; most people would take a few extra looks.

Especially as the city gate got closer and the warship had to slow down, everyone could see it more clearly.

And this also greatly satisfied the Home Witch's not-so-abundant vanity.

Although Mother's Pegasus carriage when school started was also very cool, this White Dragon warship was ultimately made by her own hands. This feeling is very different, okay?

It's just....

"Young Lady, if, hmm, I'm just saying if, you really inherit Teacher's family business later, perhaps you can really consider cooperating with Senior Sister Miya to add an arms business to the family. This is much more profitable than your real estate."

Sophie Liya saw the super high head-turning rate along the way, and then thought about her Young Lady's ability to build a ship single-handedly, and gave this sincere advice.

Dorothy: "...."

Is selling arms even more social? Good guy, it turns out she wants me to carry forward the family business and strive to go to the next level and become a military-industrial complex, right?

As a harmless, non-violence-loving scientific research witch, the Home Witch was very angry and cold.

Fortunately, her anger did not last long, because the destination had arrived.

Because the White Dragon warship had no record in the City of Glory, it could not fly around in the city. So after parking the ship at the port, Dorothy took out the empty wine bottle to put the warship away. Of course, such a cool operation caused another burst of exclamation from the onlookers. After all, vehicles with built-in space storage functions are more high-end.

It's just that, although they couldn't fly the White Dragon warship, Dorothy and the others didn't need to line up to take the portal, because a luxurious motorcade had been waiting at the port for a long time.

"Uh, is this your arrangement, Senior Sister?"

Dorothy looked at the Golden Township family crest on the motorcade and turned to look at Senior Sister Miya.

The Golden Princess also nodded generously.

"The Golden Township Chamber of Commerce has decent influence in the City of Glory, and has industries in food, clothing, housing, and transportation. These were naturally arranged by me. Everyone, get in the car."

Since the car was already here, naturally they couldn't let them make a wasted trip. Under the gaze of the onlookers looking up at the big shots, everyone got into the car, preparing to go to the resort hotel opened by the Golden Township Chamber of Commerce.

It's just....

Before the motorcade had gone far, suddenly, the giant portal at the port expanded several times. Afterward, the bow of a massive giant warship emerged from the portal. Then, ripples continued in the portal, and behind this massive flagship, countless warships of various sizes began to sail into the port.

And compared to these real warships, the White Dragon warship of Dorothy and the others before seemed very inconspicuous.

"Wow, it's the Apocalypse Fleet."

"It really is. Good guy, what happened? Why did the Apocalypse warships return?"

"Yeah, what are they doing coming to the City of Glory? Are they going to attack the city?"

"You don't know about this, do you? My neighbor's aunt's god-sister is from the City Lord's Mansion. I heard that the Vice Admiral of the Apocalypse Fleet is actually the mysterious Young City Lord of the City of Glory."

"Ah, this, there's actually such a thing? Sister, aren't you afraid of knowing too much?"

"Don't worry, this used to be a secret, but the City Lord's Mansion was preparing to make an official announcement a few days ago. Otherwise, the Apocalypse Fleet wouldn't be coming in directly now."

"Good guy, I directly good guy."

This time, the entire port was completely boiling, and the onlookers were fully satisfied.

And in the Golden Township motorcade, Sophie Liya looked at the massive fleet sailing into the port, her mood complex.

Did this witch battle group really return because of her words? And was Maria actually the Young City Lord of the City of Glory?

... The pure white witch is surprised...
