Late at night, Dorothy drove her Martial Soul incarnation to the Tribunal.

The visit of the Angel Fleet she saw earlier, and the Witch's Night rules that were suddenly changed to a confrontation match, all made her feel worried and uneasy, so she thought of coming to ask Mother if there was any inside information.

"Dorothy, I think you take yourself too seriously. These things naturally have us tracking them. Where is the need for a child like you to consider so much? You just need to honestly make preparations and then happily spend a festival."

"Moreover, I always feel that you look down on Sophie Liya too much. She is not a weak child who needs your nanny-like care. That child has been smart since she was young, just a bit unconfident. You just need to accompany her more and give her some encouragement and courage. You don't need to worry about other things; she will handle everything herself."

"If you are really idle and bored, and really don't trust that group of angels, then take this task. The Witch Academy is originally your jurisdiction. This time, the security work for the Witch's Night festival and the Angel Race's exchange team will be handed over to you to lead the team. You go and keep a close eye on that group of angels, that's fine, right?"

"That's it, don't make trouble here if there's nothing else, I'm busy lately."

In the Grand Inquisitor's office, Yufilia handed a document to Dorothy and then dismissed this meddlesome daughter.

In order to deal with the Lord of Radiance who is about to break the seal, the Tribunal has been under great pressure recently. As the Grand Inquisitor, Yufilia needs to work overtime for the next few days. There are a bunch of things she needs to do, and she really has no time to deal with this restless cub of hers, so she simply threw a task for her to do first.

"Ah, this, fine."

Being driven out of the office by her own mother like this, Dorothy held the task document, stood at the door, and had to nod helplessly.

The Home Witch thought carefully and felt that Mother was indeed right.

This world is not the end of the world without her. Some things are indeed not for her to think too much about. She currently cannot participate in those things at all. Reality is not a movie or novel where everything needs the protagonist to do it, and only the protagonist can do it.

So, this time she can just go and play a supporting role.

"Hmm, Dorothy, Dorothy, you've really drifted lately. Who gave you the courage to intervene in this kind of thing? Clearly, you should have buried your head and played dead when you saw this kind of thing in the past."

The Home Witch reflected on herself like this.

It's really dangerous. She actually almost really thought she was a protagonist. Such arrogant thoughts are not allowed.

Stay steady, develop sneakily, don't be reckless, don't forget the life ideal of being an ordinary witch. Remember our life motto: when the sky falls, there will naturally be tall people to hold it up.

After a skillful round of self-persuasion, Dorothy regained her calm.

She looked down at the task document in her hand, and while looking at it, walked toward her office area.

As one of the only 108 Grand Inquisitors in the entire Tribunal, a leadership class in the Tribunal's sequence two, she naturally has the qualification to have a territory of her own in this headquarters.

In fact, not only does she have one, but it's also very large. Above, a small world in the primitive stage waiting to be developed was directly assigned to her.

However, this is not Dorothy being a nepotist and Mother opening a back door for her again. This is really just a normal benefit for Grand Inquisitors.

After all, the three Grand Inquisitors above are truly big shots and won't move easily. The Grand Inquisitors are the ones who really go on business trips and run tasks every day in the Tribunal. And as a leadership class, the Grand Inquisitors also have their own teams of Inquisitors under them, and the Inquisitors will also have their own servant armies, etc.

If there isn't a large enough territory as a base camp, it's really not very good.

As a newly promoted Grand Inquisitor, this small world is a basic benefit, and the bases of those veteran Grand Inquisitors have long been upgraded to medium worlds, or even large worlds.

Thinking of this, the Home Witch felt a bit melancholy.

After all, on the surface, she has been struggling to earn money to buy a witch territory, but in secret, this clown identity has directly relied on unit benefits to get a small world for free. Is this the treatment within the system? It's really damn fragrant.

Perhaps she shouldn't be a real estate tycoon, and should also take a civil servant exam?

It's just that this thought was extinguished by her as soon as it emerged in her mind.

After all, the Home Witch has a good sense of self-awareness. Civil servants and the like are only popular in her hometown in her past life; they really don't work well in the Witch World.

In this day and age, if you are a civil servant witch and you don't have any connections, you are destined to be a handyman. Apart from being stable and having good benefits, there is really nothing to brag about. The room for advancement is really limited, far less practical than running to the front line to be an armed witch.

The reason why her clown identity is doing so well is all because there is a mother above, and the Tribunal is a powerful and arrogant agency with real power, which is why it can afford this treatment.

And if she really honestly takes a civil servant exam after graduating from the Witch Academy, and still thinks about not relying on connections, but purely relying on her own struggle to get promoted and get a raise...

Well, after about a thousand years, she should be able to mix into a position at the same level as a Grand Inquisitor.

No way, the civil servant system in the Witch World is just that hard to mix in. After all, one position, one pit, and there are only so many pits. The people in front have to leave for the people behind to have a chance.

If this were human society, people would always get old, and waiting for a while is not something you can't wait for. After all, the most miserable human being is at most being a crown prince for sixty or seventy years.

But witches are long-lived species. Even ordinary witches have a thousand-year lifespan, and witches who can climb to those high-ranking positions will definitely not be ordinary witches. At the very least, they must be Grand Witches. You must know that Grand Witches are immortal.

If you are in those high-risk positions in the military, you can still wait for a leader to die on the battlefield one day and free up room for your advancement, but if you are sitting in the rear managing the internal security of the Witch World...

In short, you'd better find a way to advance to Grand Witch first so you can live longer, otherwise your leader can outlive several generations of your family without retiring.

In the Witch World, it's not hard to be a grassroots civil servant. After all, grassroots cattle and horses are always short of people, but if you want to be promoted from the grassroots, and there is no one above to pull you, then I can only wish you a long life.

Anyway, Dorothy's expected thousand-year promotion speed is already the speed of a king of rollers.

And if you have the energy to roll in the workplace, you really might as well go to other fields to break through. Maybe after breaking through a world, you will be appreciated by a big shot, and you will simply be air-dropped to a high level.

Well, for example, Mother, isn't this because of her outstanding military exploits and amazing strength that she directly caught the eye of the Long Wang? Therefore, after the previous Grand Inquisitor of the Long Wang faction retired, she was directly air-dropped here.

Therefore, rather than being a grassroots civil servant and waiting for seniority, Dorothy feels that it is more reliable to work hard to manage her real estate business. As long as she does a good job, maybe one day she can be air-dropped to be the head of the infrastructure department, isn't that beautiful?

And in this reverie, the Home Witch soon came to a long passage with doors on both sides. She found a door at random, swiped her judgment order on the door, and then pushed the door open.

Just like the Anywhere Door in the classic manga of her past life, it was clearly just a door away, but before and after the door were already two worlds.

Behind the door was a scene of blue sea and blue sky. A cool sea breeze blew from the door, bringing the sound of waves crashing. On the relatively calm sea, some creatures somewhat similar to pterosaurs were circling.

Of course, Dorothy's gaze was actually attracted by the beautiful girls who were sunbathing or playing games on the golden beach by the sea for the first time.

Ah, this sunshine is really round, no, I mean this sun is really white...

Forget it, in short, the swimsuit beauties by the sea in summer are the best. The only regret is that everyone is still wearing masks, and their faces can't be seen clearly, so it always feels a bit strange.

Masked beach swimsuit party? It's about that feeling.

However, the Home Witch didn't think much about it. She stepped into the door and arrived in this small world that belonged to her.

"Tsk, this Door of Concepts is really good. There will be no teleportation aftereffects at all. It's just a pity that the cost is too expensive to be popularized."

Still standing on the beach, feeling the warmth of the scorching sun, Dorothy turned to look at the door behind her that hadn't disappeared yet, and thought so.

This kind of Anywhere Door technology is the highest-level teleportation means in the Witch World, and its effect is far from comparable to that of the teleportation portals all over the street.

A teleportation portal is just an application of space magic, but this Door of Concepts, as its name suggests, involves the conceptual field, which is the so-called power of authority.

This is a true artifact that can only be made by a Sage who has mastered the concept of the door and condensed the authority of the door. A door that looks ordinary can actually connect to any other door in the world, so as to achieve the effect of instantly arriving at any place with a door.

For example, Dorothy can directly connect to her room door through this Door of Concepts, and then push the door open to return to her room.

In short, it is a very convenient and easy-to-use prop.

The only regret is that the production difficulty is too high, so it is impossible to popularize it at all. Only a few big shots or special departments can possess some Doors of Concepts.

Because she had merit in finding the traitor among the angel witches this time, the Tribunal assigned the authority of a Door of Concepts to Dorothy, allowing her and her followers to use it together.

This Door of Concepts also has no physical entity, but is a conceptual program that exists in her judgment order. As long as you take the judgment order and swipe it at anything that can be called a door, you can use that door as a medium to summon the Door of Concepts to descend.

This is also for the convenience of their future tasks. After all, some urgent assault tasks don't have the time for you to find a teleportation portal to teleport. Having this Door of Concepts as an assault landing means will be much more convenient.

"Lord Clown, you are here."

"Lord Clown..."

As soon as Dorothy appeared, the crowd of Inquisitors who were relaxing leisurely on the beach immediately noticed her. Everyone became serious immediately. Those who were only wearing swimsuits had mana light shining all over their bodies, and they quickly put on their standard battle robes.

"Lord Clown, is there another task?"

Miss Ghost Mask took a look at the document in Dorothy's hand, and she asked so.

"Hmm, the task just issued by Grand Inquisitor Miejin, but it's not very urgent. Everyone can still rest for a while."

Dorothy nodded and said so.

"Oh, by the way, gather some servant armies separately later, at least gather some numbers to boost the momentum."

She thought about it and added this.

No way, after all, she is newly appointed and hasn't had time to build her own judgment team. She currently only has those newbies who just recruited a few days ago, totaling less than 30 people.

Although they are all good seedlings and promising for the future, it is still a bit reluctant to want to support a judgment team with just this number of people.

When she raided the God King's Cathedral before, she relied on the Inquisitors near the Witch Academy who were urgently recruited in the capacity of Grand Inquisitor. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to complete the task with her confidant team that hadn't yet formed a scale.

It's just that this time it's not a dangerous big task, but just a reconnaissance task that is called a bodyguard but is actually surveillance. There is no need to initiate a recruitment. If the number of people is insufficient, just bring some servant armies to make up the numbers.

Dorothy looked up at the surroundings. They were on a huge island at this time. Most of the witches were relaxing leisurely by the beach, but the island not far away was very lively. Various foreign species were doing construction work on the island. These were the servant armies brought by these new Inquisitors.

"Lord Clown, what kind of task is it specifically, and what strength of servant army is needed?"

Madeline, who was wearing a Paladin mask, also walked over, and she asked so meticulously.

"A small angel exchange delegation from Heaven is about to arrive at the Witch Academy. Our task this time is to do bodyguard work for this angel exchange delegation. It's called bodyguard, but it's actually surveillance. After all, no one will dare to make trouble, but just in case, you'd better pick some servants who are stronger and smarter."

"Hmm, normal human size is best, don't make it too conspicuous."

Dorothy thought and answered.

"Yes."

After hearing this, the Inquisitors went to prepare separately.

The Home Witch thought about it and also drew a summoning array on the beach.

"I won't give Xideweier a chance to perform, I'll take her this time."

She also prepared to summon some Moon Rabbits.

But I don't know how the Moon Rabbit World is now. Xiao Wu, this Moon God, should be doing quite well, right?

Dorothy thought with some curiosity, and then her will descended to that Moon God incarnation through the connection.

.... Consciousness descending....
