Chapter 725: Phantom Thief Jack

"Phantom Thief? Is there a phantom thief making trouble in the city recently?"

Dorothy raised her head in surprise, looking at the two local witches, Madeline and Audrey, with curiosity in her eyes.

At this time, their group was taking the White Dragon Warship through the teleportation gate from the Witch Academy to Venus City, and had already arrived outside Venus City, and then...

And then they were stuck in traffic, queuing up for security checks.

Hmm, the traffic jam queuing to enter the city, a special project of a first-tier big city, must be tasted.

Back then, when Dorothy went to the Witch Academy to report, she took Dragon Mom's vehicle, which took the VIP channel, and it was fast, and the road was unobstructed.

But now, their White Dragon Warship didn't hang any family crest, nor did it have any special pass, so naturally, it could only queue obediently.

The succubus witch originally intended to contact the city gate guards and let them open a special pass. This kind of thing was just a word for her status as the princess of Venus City.

However, Dorothy stopped her.

Anyway, everyone has nothing to do today, so queuing is queuing. This is a specialty of a big city, must be tasted.

And this traffic jam is only relatively congested, and it hasn't reached the point of not moving at all. It is estimated that it will take about half an hour to enter the city smoothly, so it is really not necessary to be so urgent.

Hmm, it's definitely not because of the super high return rate of the White Dragon Warship along the way, and the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of other passers-by witches on both sides or the various photo-taking magic spells flashing randomly made her a bit floaty.

Definitely not.

How could she, Dorothy, be that kind of person who likes to be high-profile and loves vanity?

At most, it's like fishermen who don't return home after catching a big fish, running around the village a dozen times.

Hmm, this is just wanting to share her joy and luck with others, not vanity.

To talk about luxury, this White Dragon Warship is far worse than the Pegasus carriage that Dragon Mom almost gave her back then. The status of any one of the eight Pegasus pulling the carriage is several times that of the White Dragon Warship.

But when Dorothy sat in that carriage, she felt uncomfortable being watched, while in this White Dragon Warship, she was the focus of attention, but only felt "I'm really awesome."

Hmm, maybe this is the difference between relying on father and starting from scratch.

The feeling that everything I have now is obtained by my own hands and efforts is really wonderful.

Dorothy in her previous life enjoyed this feeling when she took her precious figures to participate in the exhibition, and it is the same when others praise the White Dragon Warship now.

This child was designed and assembled by my own hands.

Regarding the gazes of the passers-by witches, the Homebody Witch put her hands on her hips, her nostrils facing the sky triumphantly, and thought so beautifully in her heart.

She took out her spell book, then logged into the Venus City local forum, and then skillfully searched for herself, and soon found several posts just released.

Hmm, it should be the passer-by witches who are also stuck in traffic outside who just released them.

【Vehicle Enthusiast: Wow, family members, look at what I found on the road, White Dragon Warship photo. jpg】

【Eating Melon Fastest: Hiss, am I dazzled? I actually saw a warship stuck in traffic. The big shot who can afford this thing doesn't take the fast lane.】

【Warship Fanatic: emmmm, outrageous, I've been watching ships for hundreds of years, how come I've never seen this model of warship? OP, take a few more photos, let me take a closer look.】

【Deck Cleaner: Don't look, this thing looks like a non-mass-produced model at a glance, it should be custom-made by big shots. Damn big shot, I also want to get on the ship, are you still recruiting cleaners? I can clean the deck with my tongue.】

【Warship Engineer: Mom, this thing looks like a master's work at a glance. I saw the shadows of several legendary warships on it. Wonderful, wonderful, genius work. OP, where did you see it? I'll come immediately.】

【I'm a Big Star: This is good, this is handsome. Who knows which society produced this? I also want to book one, money is not a problem.】

Among the war race like witches, the number of military fans is obviously immeasurable. These posts were just released, and many melon-eating masses swarmed over like sharks smelling blood, and then had a good discussion.

And this scene also made Dorothy very satisfied. Therefore, she didn't hesitate to switch accounts and drove her small account to top it.

【True Red's Red: All get out of the way, let the professionals come. Let me see, oh, the warship looks like a private workshop product, scaring people, actually not worth mentioning, just average.】

【True Red's Red: This warship armor and stuff are actually made of building materials, unqualified. I can do it too. I only need to be familiar with "Warship Armor Synthesis Book", "Special Material Alchemy Manual", "Spirit World Painting Notice", "Forest Witch Spirit World Deep Dive Conjecture"...】

【True Red's Red: Look at this main gun, it's also unqualified. It's only at the level of a land-sinking gun. I think it's better to add some materials to the world-destroying gun. As long as you collect some abyss iron, spirit world phantom gold, Long Wang treasure jade... these materials, and then cooperate with "Forest Witch Classic Firepower Science", "World-Destroying Breath Long Wang Says So", "Fool-Proof Plastic Energy Magic Demon King Annotated Version"...】

【True Red's Red: This thruster is also trash, it can only fly at superluminal speed...】 【725-

Dorothy wrote tens of thousands of words, and as her own "hater," she is a professional.

However, she didn't hide anything at all; she listed almost all the reference materials she used to manufacture the White Dragon Warship. As long as someone can read these materials thoroughly and master them, then replicating a White Dragon Warship wouldn't be a big problem.

Hmm, this wasn't very difficult to begin with, okay? After all, the White Dragon Warship was originally just a toy made from scraps of building materials, and its performance was only at the level of the trashiest ordinary warship in "World of Warships." Dorothy wouldn't even have bothered to look at this thing twice in the game back then, okay.

Sigh, I only regret the lack of materials; otherwise, I really would have wanted to upgrade the White Dragon Warship, to have a renewal and replacement. I don't expect a legendary warship directly, but it should at least be at the level of a battle-hardened ship, right?

In short, she had a blast picking flaws in her own work, writing tens of thousands of words of evaluation, and expressing the essence of a "keyboard king" pointing out the country to the fullest.

And a person's name, a tree's shadow; relying on the influence of "True Red's Red" on the Mana Web, it didn't take a few minutes before all kinds of true-love fans and haters rushed over, and in minutes, these few posts were built into ten-thousand-story high-rises.

【Phantom of the Opera: Master Ball capture, but Red Sister, only this time I cannot support your point of view. I think this warship is okay.】

【Red Army Expedition: Double Master Ball to catch the Boss and Phantom Miss.】

【True Black's Black: You keyboard king, what do you know about warships? Building a warship with standard performance from a pile of building materials, isn't this outrageous enough? What else do you need a flying broomstick for?】

【Keyboard Warrior biss: Exactly, exactly, you keyboard warrior, I've tolerated you for a long time. Give me an address, I'll come to your door for an offline duel.】

【Harmless Magician: Is the person above sure they don't want to "send a cannon from a thousand miles away"? I heard your abacus beads all the way in the Venus City Grand Museum.】

In short, the heat was stirred up.

And regarding this, Dorothy herself didn't care much; she had long since run away after having her fun, and went to browse other posts in Venus City on the way, her five lines of thought running at full speed, surfing at the speed of light.

Come to think of it, it seems Little Six is also about to give birth; by then, the efficiency of surfing will be able to increase by another notch.

But it can only be said that Venus City is worthy of being the City of Art, the headquarters of the Witch World's entertainment industry; this local forum is full of celebrity gossip, and all kinds of "melons" (gossip) made the Home Witch eat to her heart's content, it's just that there's no nutrition.

The only thing that made Dorothy a bit curious was the news that made it to the front page of the trending list.

【Angry and shivering, Phantom Thief Jack has issued a notice letter again. This arrogant and domineering but never-failing shocking thief's target this time is Venus City's museum treasure—the Demon King's Love Letter.】

She didn't expect that in this Witch World, there would actually be someone playing the role of a Phantom Thief with such a mysterious color, just like a chuunibyou.

She had seen plenty of such characters in various works of art in her previous life, and they were quite handsome.

But those were Phantom Thieves in the mortal world, and wanting to be a Phantom Thief in a high-magic world like the Witch World, that has its difficulties.

After all, things like magic are sometimes truly unreasonable. No matter how exquisite your stealing skills are, or how secretly you hide, a true big shot can use a prophecy spell, directly bypassing any reasoning process, and catch you like cheating.

Just like how reasoning usually doesn't involve supernatural elements, in a world where cheating powers like magic exist, a detective who relies on reasoning to solve cases seems like a clown.

Therefore, if you want to be a Phantom Thief who is at large in this world, either you have great skills, so that even if others calculate your position, they can't catch you, or your own anti-prophecy ability is strong, making it impossible for people to calculate you.

And no matter which possibility it is, it's exclusive to big shots anyway.

Hmm, so, being able to be a Phantom Thief in the Witch World, that's at least starting at the Peak level, and it might even be some bored Sage big shot letting themselves go.

Wow, it really is the big shots who know how to play.

Dorothy recalled the hype she had just created by blackening herself, and then looked at the big shot's move of letting the whole world play along, and the difference was clear at a glance.

Damn it, she had to admit that she lost this time.

"Phantom Thief?"

Madeline and Audrey were also startled when they heard the Home Witch's inquiry, and the two quickly reacted and took out their spellbooks to look at the trending headline.

"Wow, I didn't expect this Phantom Thief legend to be true. I always thought it was an urban legend. My sister and I loved her super much when we were little."

The little fox's eyes were bright, and she seemed to think it was fun, while the fox puppet on her shoulder said this with excitement in its tone.

It wasn't just Audrey; even Madeline was also a bit surprised, as if she hadn't expected that this legend she had heard since childhood had actually appeared.

"Oh, Phantom Thief Jack? I even watched Phantom Thief Jack's opera at the Grand Stage when I was little."

Senior Miya on the side also joined the conversation, a nostalgic expression appearing on her face.

Dorothy: "..."

Ah, this... how come you all know? Could it be that I'm the only bumpkin who hasn't seen it?

The Home Witch is angry and shivering; as a bumpkin from an 18th-tier countryside, she really hasn't seen the prosperity of big cities, and naturally doesn't understand the trends of big cities.

Of course, she was addicted to studying in this life and didn't have time to watch these entertainment programs anyway.

She turned her head to look at Lucifer beside her, and what comforted her was that the Fallen Angel Miss was also a bit confused.

Yay, I knew Sophie Liya didn't have time to watch these things before either.

Seeing that she wasn't the only bumpkin who didn't understand art, Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's going on with that Phantom Thief Jack? Is she very famous?"

She asked with some curiosity.

"Of course she's famous. She's even considered the enlightener of Venus City becoming the City of Art."

When it came to this kind of thing, Audrey was very energetic. The little fox wagged her big tail, her face full of excitement, and the little fox puppet on her shoulder also jumped onto the table in front of everyone and began to tell the story.

"When Phantom Thief Jack first appeared, it was still the end of the Long Wang Era, the Demon King had not yet emerged, and Venus City was still the City of Night."

"At that time, in the City of Night, the thirteen vampire clans covered the sky with one hand; they were the masters of the City of Night, and this group of vampires often acted tyrannically, bullying other demon witches."

"But at that time, demon witches were shunned by others outside, and there was nowhere else to go except this City of Night, so everyone could only endure it. Moreover, the vampires were powerful at the time, and others really didn't dare to resist."

"But just at this time, Phantom Thief Jack appeared. She issued a notice letter to the vampires, stating that she was going to steal the vampires' treasure, the True Ancestor Blood Diamond."

"At first, no one took this notice letter seriously, but later, the True Ancestor Blood Diamond was really stolen in full view of everyone. That dashing Phantom Thief, on the full moon night when the vampires were at their strongest, stole the True Ancestor Treasure Diamond placed on the Blood Moon Tower in front of the whole city, and then drifted away."

"That performance-like theft dealt a blow to the vampires' prestige, making everyone realize that vampires were not invincible, and they gained the courage to resist."

"And later, the stolen True Ancestor Blood Diamond was gifted to the werewolf witches by Phantom Thief Jack, which led to the history of the werewolf witches overthrowing the vampire tyranny and making the City of Night a free City of Demons."

"It was also because they admired Phantom Thief Jack's dashing posture of treating the city as a stage for performance that everyone in the City of Night began to fall in love with performance."

"Hmm, I heard that the Demon King herself is a fan of Phantom Thief Jack."

Audrey's puppet talked eloquently.

It's just that Dorothy felt a bit bored listening to it.

What is this? What era is this? How come there is still such a third-rate script?

She thought so in her heart, and then looked up out the window.

Through the porthole of the warship, she saw a figure wearing a half-face mask, a black top hat on their head, and a black cloak behind them, standing on top of the city gate not far away.

At this moment, the two of them happened to meet eyes, and they could even see their own reflections in each other's pitch-black eyes.

And this mysterious person who looked very much like a Phantom Thief blinked at her, and also held their index finger to their lips, shushing silently.

Then they took a "Leap of Faith," jumped directly from the city gate, and disappeared.

The Home Witch: "..."

She sat up straight abruptly, and then rubbed her eyes.

Oh my god, no way, there really is a Phantom Thief?

"Senior, what's wrong with you?"

Dorothy's movement startled the others, and the sisters' gazes immediately looked at her.

"Nothing, I just feel a bit hungry, let's hurry into the city."

The Home Witch just frowned and said this.

She smelled trouble, better slip away, slip away.

Dorothy is slipping away.
