Chapter 719: Peaceful Witch's Home

"These spirit trees are growing quite well. I wonder if there's any hope of giving birth to tree fairies later. If that's possible, then the island will be a bit livelier."

After checking the mana furnace, Dorothy turned her gaze back to the trees in the island-protecting forest.

These trees were naturally not ordinary mortal trees, but special spirit woods carefully selected by the Homebody Witch.

Witches mostly have the habit of planting some spirit woods in their own floating island territories; these are good things.

First, the planted spirit wood itself can be used as an object for setting up magic arrays; a few spirit woods can form a simple and stable magic array.

Second, the various materials produced by spirit woods are also a good output. The fruits of spirit woods can be used as high-grade ingredients or potion materials, and the wood of spirit woods can be used as building materials or alchemy materials for making magic wands.

Although planting trees often requires a long time of waiting to have a harvest, mortals might plant a tree when they are young and not necessarily live to see it mature, but witches are long-lived species and are willful, so they can afford to play this kind of ultra-long-term investment.

Besides, even if you don't aim for those benefits, the appearance of spirit woods is generally quite good-looking, and planting them in the garden as scenery is also quite nice.

Speaking of which, it seems that witches in some places have a tradition: when a little witch is born, mothers often plant a destiny spirit tree for this child. When the child has needs in the future, she can combine the branches of this spirit wood that grew with her with her own witch hair to make her own exclusive magic wand.

Anyway, Stepmother Annie planted a vampire magic tree in the courtyard for Alice and feeds it with various monster blood every day.

As for Dorothy herself...

She didn't know if she had this kind of destiny spirit tree before. After all, her childhood was spent running around everywhere with Adam. Later, after meeting Stepmother and settling down, her father did mention whether to make up for a destiny spirit tree, but the Homebody Witch was already a half-grown child then; how could a destiny tree be made up for later? So she was too lazy to bother.

Anyway, that so-called destiny tree wand-making method is just a witch custom, much like the daughter red wine that mortal families prepare for their daughters when they get married; it counts as a kind of parental blessing and doesn't have any practical significance.

However, there is also a saying that destiny tree wands are easier to communicate with, have higher compatibility when used, and have a better feel. Of course, this saying has always been just a rumor in the streets and there is no actual evidence to confirm it.

It's just that, after clearing up the misunderstanding with Dragon Mom, when the mother and daughter chatted occasionally, Yufillia did mention that she had planted a destiny tree for Dorothy; it was a dragon blood wood.

The seed sprouted after absorbing the Homebody Witch's fetal blood, and it should have been watered by Dorothy with her own blood later, but after she was gone, Dragon Mom had been watering it with her blood on her behalf all these years.

Although the nutrients didn't quite match, the growth was quite good.

Back then, Dragon Mom had excitedly shown the photos to Dorothy. The dragon blood wood in the photo was full of treasure light, and at a glance, it was a top-tier heavenly material and earthly treasure; if thrown into the cultivation world, it could at least set off a great war.

The Dragon Queen had also asked Dorothy if she wanted to break off a branch to make a magic wand to use, but the Homebody Witch refused.

After all, she already had Buster. The little milk cat was still in the growth stage, and the current soul-nourishing wood wand body was most suitable for her growth. Changing the wand body could wait until the little guy grew up and matured later.

But because of this, the Homebody Witch had to send a tube of blood to Dragon Mom every month for Mother to water the tree. And judging from the photos Mother sent back recently, after changing to Dorothy's blood, that dragon blood wood's growth was even fiercer than if it had sucked Golden Miracle Fertilizer, almost changing every day.

Originally it was only at the level of a Heavenly Treasure, but now that thing vaguely has a trend of developing towards a Heavenly Spiritual Root; the treasure light shooting into the sky was such that Long Ma had to add several layers of barriers to seal it.

This could be considered a good thing, it's just that when drawing blood every month, Dorothy felt a bit uncomfortable; after all, she was always afraid of pain.

Sigh, clearly witches as ultimate organisms don't have those uncomfortable few days every month like mortal girls, but she seemed unable to escape the fate of losing some blood bar every month.

Damn it, clearly Alice's vampire magic tree only needs to be fed with monster blood, why does my own dragon blood wood need to be fed with my own blood?

And the spirit woods on the perimeter of the Witch's Home now are not any famous high-end spirit woods.

Although the territory of a Dragon Witch is actually best for planting some dragon-type spirit woods, such as dragon blood wood, dragon scale wood, dragon claw vine, etc. After all, just as the geographical environment near a powerful giant dragon's lair might be affected by the giant dragon's power and permanently change, powerful witches also possess this ability.

Well, actually, it's not limited to race; any creature has similar abilities after becoming strong to a certain extent.

In short, the territory of a Dragon Witch will be conducive to the growth of dragon-type spirit woods.

It's just that, as everyone knows, any monster or material related to the word "dragon" is not simple, and the cash-strapped Homebody Witch said that she really couldn't afford those spirit woods.

One or two plants, she could grit her teeth and buy them, but wanting to plant the entire perimeter of the floating island to form an island-protecting forest, that was forget it; she really didn't have that money.

Besides, even if she could afford it, she couldn't afford to raise them. Anyone who has raised flowers and plants knows that these masters are very expensive and difficult to raise; it's not like you can just throw them away after planting them, and the future maintenance is another huge expense.

Even if Senior Miya indicated that she could bear these expenses, Dorothy thought about it and decided to forget it.

Well, actually, the main reason is because she is a little witch whose mana is still less than 100,000; what kind of influence does she have on environmental transformation? That is a characteristic that only a Grand Witch would possess.

Moreover, the Witch's Home is not just her home alone; it is a home belonging to everyone. It would be unfair to others if it were all planted with dragon-type spirit woods.

Therefore, Dorothy mobilized her potion knowledge, which she knew a little bit about, and chose the variety planted now among thousands of spirit woods—Fairy Wood.

This is a magical spirit wood from the Elf World. Mature Fairy Wood is definitely the highest-grade one among all spirit woods. The fairy fruit grown by this wood is quite delicious. Besides being delicious, it also has the magical effects of beauty and skin care, nourishing yin and strengthening yang. It has a market, and the price has always remained high.

Moreover, the wood of Fairy Wood is also one of the best materials for elves to make magic bows. It's just that even in the Elf World, mature Fairy Wood is not much, and the wood produced every year is even less. The magic bows made are not enough for their own internal consumption, let alone flowing to the outside world.

A Fairy Bow is a treasure that all archers dream of.

Back then, these were secondary; the most important thing was that after this Fairy Wood matures, it will gestate a special fairy known as a Tree Fairy. These little fairies are super cute, every one of them can melt people's hearts, and they are also natural good helpers for the territory, able to help you manage farmland, potions, and so on. With a Tree Fairy, from then on, a yield of 18,000 per mu is just the starting point.

Even, when necessary, the Tree Fairies can drill into their mother tree, use the mother tree as a Gundam to drive, and transform into tree fairy guards one by one to help you defend against foreign enemies.

Of course, the Fairy Trees themselves are also very good-looking, especially since different types of Fairy Trees have different flowering periods. If matched well, you can see fresh flowers and drink delicious flower nectar all year round.

In short, this is an almost perfect spirit wood, and it is even rumored that the World Tree of the Elf World itself belongs to a special kind of Fairy Tree, just a special evolutionary form of ordinary Fairy Trees.

Although the World Tree is not rare in the Witch World now, it can already explain the potential of the Fairy Tree.

It's just that the premise of everything is that the Fairy Tree can mature. Otherwise, an immature Fairy Tree is a standard money-losing product. It doesn't have any of the benefits mentioned above; no Tree Fairy, no flowering, and even less fruiting, and even the wood is not much stronger than ordinary wood.

And the standard for identifying whether a Fairy Tree is mature is to see if it can give birth to a Tree Fairy.

With a Tree Fairy, this is a high-grade spirit wood of great value; without one, it is trash that even dogs ignore.

Therefore, Fairy Wood saplings are actually super cheap, not even as expensive as some rare and precious ordinary wood. Many bored witches will occasionally buy one or two Fairy Wood trees to go back and gamble, to see if they can have the good luck to raise a Tree Fairy or something.

And Dorothy's spirit wood budget was all-in on Fairy Trees.

It's not because she's poor and can only afford this kind of cheap spirit wood, right? She's doing this for everyone's good, okay? It is rumored that Fairy Trees can also evolve into special individuals according to the special growth environment, such as Dragon Fairy Wood, Fire Fairy Wood, Water Fairy Wood, Flower Fairy Wood, etc.

Hmm, in this way, everyone can find a Fairy Tree of the same attribute mutated by their own influence on the island in the future. Isn't this great?

Anyway, it's definitely not because Fairy Wood is worthless. As long as one or two Tree Fairies can come out of this forest, it can easily break even, and more than three is a direct blood profit.

Would she, Dorothy, be that kind of big gambler?

Gamblers can go to hell (biss).

Of course, that's what she said, but the Homebody Witch still strolled into the forest, optimizing the positioning of the trees in this Fairy Forest according to the Feng Shui secret arts she had just learned on the Dongying Island, while looking forward to checking every Fairy Tree to see if any tree was about to give birth.

It's just that, unfortunately, even if the Witch's Home's mana furnace is fully functional, these Fairy Tree saplings have only been planted for three months, okay? Even a sow might not necessarily give birth to cubs after three months of raising, not to mention the Fairy Trees with ultra-long lifespans.

"Tsk, you guys hurry up and eat, hurry up and grow up."

The Homebody Witch walked out of the forest very disappointed. She really wished she could directly let the mana transmitted by the mana furnace fiercely insert into these Fairy Trees and directly explode them.

But after calming down, she thought about it and didn't care anymore.

What's the rush? Anyway, she doesn't know how many "promising futures" she has, so she doesn't care about one more. Let's take it slow; it will always get better.

She thought so, and then used all her potion knowledge to properly maintain these future treasure trees.

Finally, she, who was sweating from being busy, walked out of the forest, and then passed by the pasture area and the farm potion field area.

Although the Fairy Trees grew slowly, the various little monsters raised in this pasture and the various crops planted in the farm were growing quite gratifyingly.

"What are you looking at? Are you laughing at me? Damn it, I want to duel with you. Come on, let's have a samurai duel concerning honor."

Passing by the pasture area, Dorothy's gaze met with an unyielding Burst Goose in the pen.

This is a high-grade ingredient commonly seen in witch vegetable markets. It's just that, although delicious, it's actually not easy to mess with. The combat power of ordinary geese is already a bully in the village, not to mention this is a monster goose.

This Burst Goose is a monster that naturally masters the Fireball Technique; one carelessness and it can give you a Fireball Technique to the face.

And according to the Five Fireball Slaughtering God Theory of the Fireball Technique God Sect, if five Burst Geese come together, ordinary witches will be chased all over the ground.

Not to mention that some Burst Geese with excellent aptitude can learn the higher-level magic of the Fireball Technique—Burst Technique, which is a classic third-ring magic.

And if they are even more excellent, there are even higher-level sixth-ring magic—Aurora Burst, ninth-ring magic—Starlight Burst, and even forbidden spells—Sun Burst.

It is rumored that in the Burst Goose clan, there was once a supreme goose who mastered that forbidden spell, blowing up natural disasters until they fled in embarrassment; it was super fierce.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this glorious history that the Burst Goose's temper is just like its name, super explosive. It always likes to look at people with a contemptuous look, and it will do it if it disagrees.

Now this beautiful big goose with fiery red fur is looking at the Homebody Witch who has gained nothing with such a disdainful look.

Can Dorothy endure this?

Hehe, she is the Archbishop of the Fireball Technique God Sect, okay? You, a goose of the same sect as me, dare to be disrespectful to me.

Thus, confirmed the look, met the right person.

One person and one goose, their eyes became sharp, and then both sides started at the same time.

"Ga!"

"Awoo..."

Goose calls and dragon roars sounded at the same time, two fireballs were activated at the same time, and then collided with each other.

The one on the left was the Burst Goose's, and that Fireball Technique was actually blue with purple. Turtle, this Fireball Technique proficiency is really not low, fiercer than most witches' Fireball Technique.

But unfortunately, it met a cheater; Dorothy's colorless big fireball easily defeated that blue-purple fireball.

KO.

This honor duel, the Homebody Witch won.

"Little thing, let you stand on the left for the wave, I specially ran to the right, okay."

Looking at the big goose whose beautiful red fur had become charred, Dorothy laughed triumphantly.

Then she stepped forward...

Stepped forward to the goose's nest, and took away five fresh big goose eggs in the sorrowful eyes of the big goose that fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

Hmm, after all, it's a bombing race that put all its skill points into burst magic. After eating a full-proficiency Fireball Technique, this Burst Goose was just a bit charred in its feathers, suffering skin trauma, and it just couldn't move for a while, and it would be fine after resting for a while.

"Don't act too much, your single goose's eggs can't hatch cubs, this is my breakfast."

The scumbag witch returned triumphantly with a full load. Passing by the fallen goose, she also mocked it like this, making the big mother goose, who had originally stubbornly raised its head, fall to the ground again.

KO.

And the Homebody Witch ignored this defeated opponent. She strolled a few more steps forward, and then her gaze met a cow-colored fierce bull dragon happily eating grass.

"Come, little cutie, it's time for a physical examination. Let sister see if you are developing normally."

"Moo."

The cow was terrified.

"Hehehe, don't be afraid, I will be gentler."

The witch smiled evilly.

Hmm, the Witch's Home is still very peaceful early this morning.

Anyway, when Senior Miya and Audrey came to the Witch's Home in a while, five breakfasts had already been placed on the dining table under the tree house.

That was five oily and shiny sun-fried eggs that were shining like little suns, and five cups of fresh dragon milk that were still steaming.

"You guys are here. I just finished making breakfast. Let's eat simply today, fried eggs with dragon milk."

Dorothy said with a smile of harvest joy.

Witch breakfast in progress...
