Chapter 405: The Angel Who Fishes
Fishing, an activity that has existed since the beginning of human civilization, has remained enduring and fresh after a long time, possessing a magical power that makes people addicted.
And the significance of this activity has long since changed from the labor of the past for food and livelihood into a way of leisure and entertainment. Many people don't like to eat fish at all, and even hate eating fish, but they are very obsessed with fishing.
They don't fish for fish; they fish for loneliness, for life. What's important isn't the result, but the process of waiting through bitterness until there is finally a harvest.
Although, in fact, not everyone can have a harvest when fishing. There are always people who have a cup of tea and a cigarette, waiting bitterly for a whole day, and finally can only end in a "skunked" (empty-handed) ending.
Catching something? Catching something is other people's business; being skunked is one's own life.
The Witch race originated from humans, after all, and many cultural hobbies were inherited from human civilization and gradually magically modified and transformed.
Among Witches, many are actually fanatical fishing enthusiasts. Some have severe fishing addictions; even when they go to the battlefield, if they see the opponent's water-type magic is not bad, they might be eager to cast a line.
In short, it's quite outrageous.
Of course, Witches are almost all superhumans. Ordinary fishing methods have no challenge for them. After all, they can all see through the fish in the water directly on the shore, and they don't need to compete with the fish with brute force; they can directly pull them up forcibly, etc.
Therefore, Witch fishing enthusiasts are all like cheaters with built-in perspective radar and 100% catch rate, which really makes the fun of fishing much less.
Therefore, in order to enrich the fun of fishing, many fishing enthusiasts have put in a lot of effort and developed various strange spells. To this day, the fishing activity in the Witch World is already very mature, with strict rules, various patterns, and high playability. It is also suitable for all ages and is considered a very popular entertainment means.
It's just that the cost of building a fishing ground that can also make Witches play happily is quite high. The more patterns the fishing ground has, the higher the cost. Therefore, Witches don't have the fun of finding a wild river to fish happily. If they want to play happily, most of them can only go to specialized fishing grounds.
This has invisibly increased the threshold for fishing. After all, the cost of going to those fishing grounds is not cheap. If you catch something, the fishing ground can buy it back to get some capital back, or even make a profit. But if you are skunked, you will really lose everything.
Of course, this little difficulty can't stop a real fishing enthusiast. If you have no money, you can just go to the battlefield to make a fortune. "I'll come back to fish after this battle."
And the fishing ground of the Golden Township resort manor is undoubtedly the highest level. Therefore, a large group of fishing enthusiasts had long been surrounding the fishing ground at this time.
"Sister Maria, it's not easy to come back once, and we came to play in the Golden Township, and you brought us here to fish."
The blue-haired six-winged angel Witch Michelle sat on a small stool by the river, complaining to the sisters beside her.
She had a fishing rod set up in front of her, but it was a pity that she had waited all morning, and there was no movement on the fishing rod, which was annoying.
Michelle didn't like fishing much in the first place, let alone being skunked all morning. Her patience was almost reaching its limit.
It's just that unlike her impatient personality, the two good sisters beside her were enjoying themselves at this time. From the skilled appearance of the two, it could be seen that they were two old fishing enthusiasts.
"Calm down, Michelle. Fishing is a good way to hone your temperament. You really should fish more when you have nothing to do."
The red-haired eight-winged angel Witch big sister looked helplessly at the impatient little sister beside her and said so.
"But this is the Golden Township. I'm really convinced by you two fishing enthusiasts. There are so many fun places to go, but you only think about fishing as soon as you leave the battlefield. What's so good about fishing? If you have that effort, it's better to go hunting in the hunting ground next door."
Michelle kicked the fishing rod beside her impatiently, causing the fishing line at the other end to tremble, creating ripples on the mirror-like calm water surface.
"Hehe, Michelle, if you don't change your hot temper, you will definitely be skunked today. You little rookie, the biggest taboo in fishing is being impatient. You will scare the fish away."
The golden-haired six-winged angel Witch Seris looked at the irritable sister beside her with disdain, and then looked at the empty fish guard of the other party, and couldn't help but laugh.
"You...."
Michelle's hot temper naturally couldn't bear it. At that moment, the two started arguing.
Only Maria didn't pay attention to her two left and right guard sisters. She just held the fishing rod quietly, waiting for her harvest.
She wasn't just fishing for fish today; she was also fishing for someone.
It was just a glance at the pier position before, but Maria was very sure that she should have seen it wrong at that time. The pure white girl sitting in the Golden Township motorcade should be Sophie Liya.
Although this was also the first time Maria had seen her online partner in reality, she had actually been paying attention to this Saintess for a long time. For so many years, she had been closely following the other party's news.
As the Young City Lord of the City of Glory, Maria was a typical reformist among the angel Witch race. She had long been resentful of the corrupt rules of the God King sect, and she really didn't want to see the group of insects who occupied high positions in the church but shouted "bloodline supremacy" every day, yet were more useless than the other, lying on the race and sucking blood. That group of dregs were wasting resources just by living.
She had realized one thing very clearly long ago, and that was that it was impossible to revive the race with this group of insects. The entire God King sect had long been rotten, sick to the bone marrow, and completely hopeless.
Only by breaking and then establishing, completely shattering the old rules, and establishing a brand new sect on the ruins of the God King sect, could the angel Witches have a future and be qualified to be on par with the Dragon Kingdom and the Demon Kingdom again.
It was just that no matter how clear-headed she was, it was useless. After all, Maria also knew very well that she didn't have the ability to implement the reform she wanted.
After all, the reason why the three major kingdoms appeared to have an extraordinary status in the Witch World was not because they used the three major natural disasters as evolution templates and were more powerful than their Witch compatriots of other templates, but simply because they were backed by the three Kings. They were the descendants of the three Kings and the Wang Zu of the Witch World.
Others revered and respected the three Kings, not them, these Royal Families. They were just lucky people who were able to share that trace of glory because of the generosity of the three Kings.
Therefore, even if Maria, as the Young City Lord of the City of Glory, was a genius herself, and her family had money and people, she had the ability to attack the decaying ancestral court, carry out a major purge, and realize the restoration of the ancestral court, it was still useless.
After all, the foundation of the Angel Kingdom was the belief in Lord God King. As long as you didn't get the recognition of Lord God King, then even if you came to power, it was an improper acquisition, and you would absolutely be unable to convince the public. Others wouldn't even bother to pay attention to you.
And no matter how useless that group of insects in the ancestral court were, they were indeed the direct descendants of Lord God King's bloodline and occupied the position of orthodoxy.
If her branch really wanted to attack the ancestral court, they would probably be beaten by other angel territories in minutes.
Of course, she could also take a gamble to see if Lord God King would appear and give her, this rebel, a blessing if she really came to power. If it really worked, then everything would be easy to talk about.
It was a pity that Maria ultimately didn't have the courage to gamble. She, who also devoutly believed in Lord God King, didn't dare to speculate on the divine will at all. Moreover, she didn't have the courage to pull the whole family to carry out this kind of big gamble.
Therefore, in the past hundred years, she had been in a state of being cynical but timid and not daring to really act. She longed to change something and wanted to do something to revive her family and country, but because of various concerns, she had to compromise helplessly and was depressed and unsuccessful.
She, who was clearly on par with Agnes when she was in school and was called one of the two brightest stars in the Angel Kingdom, eventually fell after graduation. For these years, she had been indulging in pleasure, numbing herself, and being the romantic Young City Lord of the City of Glory.
She actually hated that old classmate who had the title of "Second God King." After all, although that old classmate's strength and talent were indeed worthy of that title, her ideas were too weak.
Maria had tried to contact Agnes at the time, wanting this direct descendant of the God King, who was almost certain to lead the God King sect in the future, to join their reformist faction.
It was a pity that this classmate's personality was truly hopeless. She had long been brainwashed by her group of insect clansmen, with only the belief in Lord God King in her mind, only thinking about how to please Lord God King and how to get closer to Lord God King.
Clearly, as the Saintess of the God King sect and the future Pope of the Angel Kingdom, that guy didn't care about the affairs of the country at all. Compared to a person in power, that guy was more like a devout nun believer.
Facing Maria's persuasion, Agnes ultimately only said some bullshit like "Everything is under the gaze of Lord God King; when a change is really needed, Lord God King will naturally descend guidance."
This made Maria want to hit someone at the time. If she were Lord God King, seeing her descendants so unpromising, guidance? Guidance my ass. She would just directly strike them all to death with divine punishment. They were already this old, yet they couldn't make decisions themselves and were waiting for others to teach them and guide them. Where did this giant baby come from?
She knew that if such a guy really came to power in the future, the Angel Kingdom would probably be completely finished.
Therefore, after that unhappy meeting, Maria had almost given up. She resigned herself to not thinking about the reform anymore and went back to her hometown to be her wealthy Young City Lord.
After all, what else could she do? She didn't have the ability to ask Lord God King to descend a divine oracle. She didn't even have the qualification to see Lord God King, who had long since stopped asking about world affairs.
Forget it. Anyway, Lord God King doesn't care, so what am I anxious about? Anyway, it's not my family that is declining. My own City of Glory is thriving every day. If the Angel Kingdom falls apart and disintegrates one day, my family will still be the top stream of the Witch World.
So, just let it rot.
Just like that, Maria had been a playboy for over a hundred years, until she met Sophie Liya, an interesting little compatriot, while playing games that day.
At first, she just had the idea of chatting with this little compatriot with the intention of picking up a little beauty.
After all, this little compatriot's command ability was indeed powerful. She actually defeated herself at such a young age, which was truly formidable.
Although she didn't want to reform anymore these years, she was still very happy to promote compatriots with good talent and talent.
As a result, this chat was extraordinary. She found that this little compatriot was simply her soulmate. Even though the other party seemed young, her thinking was simply clear-headed, and like her, she had long seen through the fact that the Angel Kingdom was hopeless.
It was a pity that this little compatriot didn't have her concern for the country and the people. Even if she saw through everything, she was indifferent to everything, as if the Angel Kingdom had nothing to do with her as an outsider.
This aroused Maria's curiosity, and this little compatriot was too bold. Her Magic Web ID looked like her real name, which made people unable to resist checking.
And the follow-up investigation was unexpectedly smooth. Although there were indeed many angel Witches named Sophie Liya, after filtering the age range, there weren't many left. Plus, if you searched for this name on the Magic Web, the first news that popped up was very outrageous.
"Second God King Agnes fell into a knowledge curse and was sealed by the Inquisition. Her daughter Sophie Liya was handed over by the Academy Principal to be raised by the Dragon Kingdom...."
When Maria saw this news, her first feeling was that this daughter of her stupid classmate was probably the little compatriot she met on the Magic Web.
She didn't expect that her stupid classmate could give birth to such a clear-headed daughter. She couldn't help but sigh that the growth environment of children was really important.
Look at the stupidity of Agnes who grew up in the ancestral court, and then look at the clarity of her daughter who grew up in the Dragon Kingdom. The gap!
However, these were not the key points. The key point was that Sophie Liya, as Agnes's daughter, was undoubtedly the direct bloodline of Lord God King. Although she didn't know why the Pope sent this little princess to the Dragon Kingdom to be raised by others, Maria really felt the hope of saving the country this time.
Orthodox bloodline, outstanding talent, clear head—this was simply the "wise master" she had been longing for for so many years. At that moment, the ideal that she thought had died was directly rekindled.
Afterwards, there was the matter of her pulling up the Apocalypse Fleet in the name of playing games.
Because through chatting on the Magic Web, Maria could feel that this little princess Sophie Liya was an ambitious person. Her future would not be willing to be mediocre, so let her help the other party.
And now, the online partner of many years had finally reached the day of meeting. Maria had just posted a circle of friends on the Magic Web, saying that she was fishing here.
Although the other party didn't reply to her, Maria had been fishing for many years and never lacked this bit of patience.
She believed that this ambitious online partner would eventually come to see her.
It was just that she was waiting peacefully here, but the two guard sisters beside her were making noise again, which made Maria, who had actually waited all morning and was also a bit flustered and anxious, fearing that Sophie Liya would really not come, harden her fists.
"Ah, Michelle, hurry, your fishing rod is moving. You caught something!"
Seris shouted so.
"I believe your ghost. I've been skunked all morning, how could... holy crap, it really hit. Let me see what kind of stupid fish it is."
The blue-haired angel who didn't believe it herself glanced at her fishing rod, was shocked, and then hurriedly started to reel in.
Even Maria, who originally wanted to beat people up, became interested at this time and stopped, wanting to see what this irritable sister who had been skunked all morning had caught.
It was just....
When the fishhook was pulled out of the water by the blue-haired six-winged angel with great difficulty, the three fell into silence together.
What on earth is this that was caught?
