Chapter 788: Free Will

"Sister, you really came."

Adi looked at this female knight who actually came alone, and her expression was slightly complicated.

She is an orphan, adopted and raised by her sister since she was a child. She is really quite grateful for this sister's upbringing, but similarly, the sister's domineering and unreasonable control also made her unbearable.

She can see that this sister cares about her, or loves her, it's just that this love is really too heavy. Sometimes it's so heavy that she can't breathe.

Sometimes, she has the feeling that what the sister wants to adopt is not herself, she just wants to guard something, and she is just the guard object chosen by her.

She looks like the sister's sister, the successor of this famous Knight King, but in fact, she is just a canary locked in a birdcage.

Or, a princess guarded by a dragon.

The dragon doesn't like the princess, she just likes to guard something, so she caught a princess and locked her in her dragon nest, so that she has something to guard.

In fact, not only herself, but the entire kingdom is like this.

The powerful dragon lowered her wings and established an ideal township on this chaotic ground. That is an ideal kingdom as beautiful as a fairyland, but the foundation of everything is because of the paranoia of the Knight King who is the incarnation of the evil dragon.

Everyone praises this perfect King, but everyone fears this perfect King.

After all, not everyone can be as perfect and flawless as the King. The King wants to create a pure land without darkness, but humans are naturally born with seeds of depravity. As long as there are people, darkness will always be bred.

And she is such a child of darkness.

"Adi, are you okay? Come back with me."

The tall and majestic female knight also saw Adi, her eyes lit up instantly, and then she walked quickly and took her hand.

It's just that Adi stood on the spot without moving.

Since the caged bird has already flown out, it is naturally impossible to go back.

And in the cave, the thieves who heard the movement also rushed out. They surrounded the sisters.

To this, Emora protected her sister beside her for the first time. She looked at the surrounding thieves vigilantly.

"Who is your leader? I have brought the ransom. Now I want to take my sister away."

She untied the bag full of treasures from her waist, held it high, her majestic gaze looked at the surrounding thieves without fear, and then asked so.

And all thirty-nine thieves didn't speak. They just looked at the female knight quietly, or rather, the girl behind the female knight.

The thieves were quite happy at this time. It seems that the saying that the legendary Knight King doesn't understand human hearts is true. She even asked who their leader is? The leader is naturally your good sister.

The script of sisters killing each other is always curious. The thieves looked forward to the performance their boss was about to start.

And to this, the majestic female knight was confused. She didn't understand why this group of thieves didn't speak until now, until a stinging pain came from her waist.

Emora looked down and saw the blood color spreading at her waist... A sharp dagger pierced through her waist and abdomen from her back.

Hmm, this one, at least one kidney is gone.

And the dagger was held by a hand. Emora's gaze followed that hand upward, and what she saw was the familiar face of her sister.

It's just that the sister who had always been pure and cute in her impression was expressionless at this time. Although there was a struggle in those pitch-black eyes, they finally became cold.

The female knight's gaze was no longer majestic, but she was not sad either, but she was very confused, seemingly puzzled by her sister's sneak attack.

"My dear sister, you really still don't understand human hearts."

Adi let go of the dagger in her hand, looking at the sister who gradually fell to the ground powerlessly. She felt a bit uncomfortable in her heart, but she was still cold on the surface.

This knife should have been stabbed into the heart, but in the end, she still chose the waist and abdomen.

Because of that dreamlike experience just now, she finally softened a bit.

But looking at the confused look in her sister's eyes, an inexplicable anger and sadness surged in her heart.

And the injured Emora looked at this strange sister in front of her, still confused.

She couldn't figure out why the sister she had always loved would backstab her, and she couldn't understand her sister's motivation for doing so at all?

"Is it because I haven't been good enough to you? You can say it, I will correct it later."

Emora opened her mouth and said so.

Even at this time, she didn't seem to blame her sister.

And her words made Adi stunned, and then the girl laughed. She covered her face and laughed loudly, as if she had heard some super funny joke.

"Hahaha."

She laughed for a long time, laughed until tears came out, laughed until she was out of breath.

And in the increasingly confused gaze of the female knight, she stopped laughing, and then leaned back boredly. A robber had already moved a soft chair behind her.

Adi reached out and lifted her long bangs upward. Her face, which had a lot of deceptive power, became a bit more unruly and evil. This princess, who had always been famous for her gentle elegance in the kingdom, was now like a rogue, sitting without any posture. She crossed her legs, one hand supporting the chair, bowing her head, holding her cheek, looking uninhibited.

And looking at the expression of the female knight on the ground, she was no longer cold, but became disgusted.

"My dear sister, you are really a monster who doesn't understand human hearts. You were backstabbed by the person you trusted most just now. Why is it not anger first, but confusion?"

"Besides, you should have known about my little moves long ago. Although I tried my best to be careful when pulling up this thief group, I know that it is impossible to hide this from you, the King."

"Then sister, I want to ask you, why would you indulge me, why did you come here without any defense even knowing this is a trap?"

Adi asked like this.

And the female knight on the ground was silent to this. She looked at Adi, and then opened her mouth.

"Adi, a lady shouldn't be so rude. You are a good child, you should have a sitting posture."

She seemed to have been struggling with whether to open her mouth to correct this just now, and it seems that she couldn't help it in the end.... Adi: "..."

"Enough, is this the time to discuss sitting posture? And what good child, that's all I pretended. This is my true nature. I am a bad child by nature."

The young girl was clearly somewhat broken; she stood up irritably, kicked over the chair, and then walked up to the female knight.

"My dear sister, what you should do now is to draw your sword and chop me, let me be responsible for today's betrayal, then draw your sword and chop them, let them be responsible for the crime of offending your majesty, and then go back and pick out all the rebellious officials and thieves I pulled together and pinch them to death, let them be responsible for their greed."

"Understand? This is what a normal person should do? Instead of being like you, always looking for reasons from yourself when something happens. Is there a possibility that you are not wrong, but others are wrong?"

Adi pinched the female knight's face and roared almost like this.

She had enough.

This was clearly the time when she, as a rebellious official and thief, succeeded in her conspiracy, but the protagonist's performance made her not feel half the joy of the conspiracy succeeding, only feeling that her success was completely the result of the other party's deliberate indulgence and water release.

Tsk, the clown is actually herself.

What she wanted was a well-matched, hearty duel, not this kind of charity victory that felt like someone had used a cheat code and lacked any challenge.

Before the kingdom was established, her personality was quite yearning. After all, who wouldn't hope that someone could pull them when they were in danger, and who wouldn't admire this savior who treated everyone equally with redemption?

It's just that after the kingdom was established, the crisis was resolved, and everyone lived a good life, such a savior became a bit of an eyesore.

After all, who would need an absolutely fair and just King?

A savior can be fair and just, but a King cannot.

The problems in the kingdom have become more and more serious these years, but this stupid sister is still just looking at that group of rebellious officials and thieves. She seems to simply feel that as long as she is good to everyone, everyone will become good.

Laugh to death, if this world were really so simple, that would be great.

Adi looked at the sister who seemed to have fallen into silence. This time, she finally revealed a smile.

Hmm, yes, yes, my dear sister, get angry, get blackened, give

Mm, yes, yes, my dear sister, hurry up and get angry, hurry up and turn dark, hurry up and give me the judgment that an evildoer like me deserves, and let others know the consequences of offending the King's majesty.

She hoped for this in her heart.

The bird in the cage looked forward to the judgment of freedom that was about to descend; only the cage owner's exasperation could make her truly experience the joy of regaining her freedom.

And under her expectant gaze, Emora also seemed truly lost in thought.

It was just that, in the end, the female knight raised her head, her face truly wearing an expression of "I have attained enlightenment."

"It seems it really is that I haven't done well enough, that I haven't given you enough; it is that I am not strong enough, and not yet sufficient to give you true protection."

Emora said this firmly.

Adi: "..."

Ahhh... the sound of the young girl's exasperated breakdown rang out.

She then grabbed a dagger and slashed at her own neck.

Tired, it's meaningless, I don't want to live anymore.

Mm, you really don't want to give up on me that much? Then what if I just die?

Don't you want to protect? Heh, look at what you've protected; you can't protect anything.

She thought to herself.

And her suicide did indeed cause the female knight, who had always been devoid of emotional fluctuations, to panic for the first time; she revealed a look of anger for the first time.

Hehe, didn't I win after all?

Adi thought happily at the end.

And within the Spirit Realm, Dorothy naturally knew nothing of everything that had happened in the distant reality; at this moment, the Home Witch was leisurely enjoying her peaceful daily life.

Mm, these days on the Longdao were the most leisurely life she had lived recently; every day she only needed to eat, sleep, and beat up the Black Dragon, it was very comfortable.

"This is the peaceful daily life I have always wanted to live."

Dorothy lay on the silvery-white beach again, happily sunbathing and drinking fresh coconut juice.

Mm, ever since she went to the Witch Academy, she really hadn't had such peace for a long time.

It was just that there was no time in the Spirit Realm, and she didn't know how long it had actually been peaceful, but she looked far out at the sea level and sighed.

"It seems the peaceful vacation life is over after all."

On that distant sea level, a black dot was gradually enlarging.

And if one's eyes were a bit sharper, one could discover that it wasn't a black dot at all, but a golden one.

That was a Golden Boat speeding toward them.

Mm, Senior Miya's "ransom" had finally arrived.

"Hey, Miss Black Dragon, the time spent with you has been very pleasant, but the time has come after all; it's time to say goodbye."

Dorothy patted her butt and stood up, then looked at Miss Black Dragon and said this.

At a glance, she could see that Senior Miya's Golden Boat was extraordinary, and she also knew clearly that Miss Black Dragon had thoroughly offended Senior Miya by kidnapping her.

Although this wealthy senior always appeared as a gentle big sister in front of her, the Home Witch hadn't failed to see this person's true nature after taking off the mask on the Mana Web.

This is a fierce mother tyrannosaurus, okay? Do you know how many times she has been beaten into fairy sauce?

If she really let Senior Miya meet Miss Black Dragon now, Dorothy truly didn't doubt that Miss Black Dragon would be slaughtered by the senior.

After spending this time with Miss Black Dragon, she was certain that this was just a silly dragon, and quite cute too; she really didn't deserve to die, so for everyone's sake, she should take the initiative to say goodbye.

"Uh, no, you can't leave."

Upon hearing Dorothy's words, Miss Black Dragon immediately became anxious.

This period of time was also the happiest she had ever had; she didn't want it to end just like that.

Originally, she really only wanted to use this person to exchange for a ransom, but now she didn't want any ransom at all; those useless treasures couldn't compare to a person.

If she leaves, what will happen to her meals? Who will continue to teach her martial arts?

And also

It's really boring to be alone on the island.

In short, it's a no; she couldn't let this hostage go.... The massive Black Dragon rose up menacingly, blocking the Home Witch's side; she glared fiercely at the Golden Boat approaching in the distance, her eyes like those of a robber who had seen someone trying to take away her only treasure.

Although this treasure of hers was originally snatched from someone else's hands.

But she didn't care; anyway, it was hers.

It's just that

"You say that as if I'd let you stop me if I wanted to leave. Alright, stop making a scene; I have my own business, it's impossible for me to stay here and accompany you forever."

Dorothy looked at Miss Black Dragon, who was acting like a child, and smiled helplessly.

Then she snapped her fingers lightly, and Miss Black Dragon's body stiffened, then gradually turned into a giant dragon statue.

Mm, although she indeed couldn't beat Miss Black Dragon, if you give a magic master such a long time and freedom, this Longdao would have long since become her magic workshop.

Hilarious, the island was now covered in magic arrays she had set up; the owner of the island had long been her, not Miss Black Dragon.

"Mm, this petrification spell will be lifted in a while; we'll meet again if fate allows."

Dorothy reached out and touched the head of the Black Dragon statue, then sighed, and finally stepped onto the sea surface, slowly walking toward the approaching Golden Boat.

And inside the statue, Miss Black Dragon, who could only watch helplessly as her treasure left, was shaking with cold anger.

She was too weak, without power, unable to protect anything.

Home Witch running away to freedom.

Scumbag Qian, running after flirting.
