After fooling the two aunts, the Home Witch, in a good mood, leisurely arrived at the courtyard's open-air kitchen to start preparing today's lunch.

Dorothy opened the storage cabinet on the side and saw a cabinet full of various high-end ingredients.

This cabinet was something she had recently crafted by hand; it was a high-end, custom-made product that couldn't be bought on the market.

A normal witch's food storage cabinet is actually just a magical version of a refrigerator, using low temperatures to prevent ingredients from spoiling, while higher-end ones at most add some anti-magic materials to prevent the loss of magic power from the food inside.

But the one the Home Witch crafted by hand was much more advanced. She didn't use frost magic, but time-stasis. At the same time, the internal space capacity of the cabinet was expanded to the extreme by her. The final product was this perfect storage cabinet with super-large storage space and internal time-stasis.

This was a treasure containing both the laws of time and space; let alone throwing it into the mortal world, even in the Witch World, this thing could be considered a minor divine artifact.

Especially since it was handmade by Miss Forest Witch herself; if it were really hung on the Mana Web for sale, the final transaction price would definitely scare people to death.

Of course, first of all, she had to thank her old father Adam for providing various materials; otherwise, even if Dorothy really put up her coffin money, it might not be enough for the material costs.

However, the things stored in such a high-end storage cabinet naturally wouldn't be ordinary goods; this cabinet full of various high-end ingredients was the real treasure.

Things like dragon liver, phoenix marrow, giant earth bear paws, deep-sea magic whale gem meat, etc., could all be wholesaled here.

Mm, thanks again to her old father for the feeding.

Looking at the various ingredients filling the cabinet, Dorothy's heart was full of happiness.

With food in the pocket, there is no panic in the heart.

And just when she had some difficulty choosing, the courtyard gate was pushed open, and Adam walked in carrying a "chicken."

"Preparing to cook? That's perfect, I just went hunting, let's eat this today."

Mr. Hero said happily, pointing to the "chicken" in his hand.

Recently, in order to feed his daughter, the reserves in his vegetable garden were a bit insufficient, plus he was preparing to expand the scale of the vegetable garden, so he often went out for a stroll to see if he could hunt some game or stock up on goods.

Fortunately, when he traveled north and south before, he recorded many "wild areas" rich in resources. Before, there was no demand, so he was too lazy to go harvest, but now, in order to better feed his daughter, Adam was very diligent.

Dorothy: "..."

The "chicken" that could be favored by Adam and specially brought back naturally wouldn't be any ordinary breed. Besides, whose chicken has four legs?

What the old man was carrying was clearly a Griffin. This is a high-level magic beast; even in the Witch World, this thing belongs to the high-level mount category, belonging to the luxury car rank, but now it could only be reduced to spare ingredients.

Mm, a real Griffin is very huge; this thing can be considered a magic beast in the first echelon under the dragon. A full-grown one might not be as big as a mountain, but it's definitely much bigger than this villa. It's indeed not easy to be carried through the door, so it was shrunk by Adam. At first glance, it really looks like a chicken...

"What a pitiful guy. Don't worry, I will treat it well; I will definitely make it peaceful."

Looking at this powerful magic beast that had been beaten to the point of having only a few breaths left, Dorothy couldn't help but shed tears of pity.

Subsequently, she closed the door of the storage cabinet, and finally didn't have to face the difficulty of choosing.

And five minutes later, a Griffin body was added to this storage cabinet.

Well, this is the reason why Dorothy wanted to build this time-stasis storage cabinet. Every time it's mealtime, the old man brings his "prey" over. Those huge prey can't be finished in one meal, so she can only take the most essential parts, and the remaining parts can't be thrown away directly, right?

So, she had to find a place to seal it up and wait to eat it later.

Although she felt that at the old man's feeding speed, she could probably only eat fresh food every day, and she really didn't know when the food in this storage cabinet would have a chance to get on the stove.

And just when Dorothy was skillfully processing the Griffin wing meat and tail meat, Adam was also sitting at the dining table on the side. He was reading a newspaper, but he was clearly a bit absent-minded, his eyes occasionally glancing at the Home Witch on the side.

"Old man, if you have anything you want to ask, you can just say it."

The Home Witch naturally noticed the abnormality of her old father, and she said directly.

Of course, she could actually roughly guess what the old man wanted to ask; it was nothing more than wanting to ask about the circus, and why she provoked the thirteen Blood Clan families.

Actually, these questions should have been asked last night after returning, but at that time, it was late, and everyone was quite tired after the big battle, so the old man held back and didn't ask, just letting everyone rest first.

But clearly, he had held back until now and finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Dorothy, you came from the future to the present, did you come with a mission?"

And after hearing her daughter's words, Adam thought for a while, but didn't continue to be silent, instead asking with some unease.

For more than a month, he had become accustomed to the days accompanied by his daughter, so much so that he almost forgot that the daughter in front of him wasn't really his daughter.

To be precise, she was his daughter from who knows how many generations in the future. She came from the future and would sooner or later return to the future.

But this brief happiness had easily pierced through the strong heart that Mr. Hero had forged through countless hardships, making him unable to help but indulge in it, forgetting everything.

Until last night's accident, he was finally awakened from this brief happiness, realizing that this dream-like happiness ultimately had a deadline.

"Your mission is related to the thirteen Blood Clan families, right?"

Adam asked again after a moment of silence.

And Dorothy's hand holding the kitchen knife paused, but quickly returned to normal.

These weren't very confidential things, and there was nothing to hide from the old man, so she nodded.

"Actually, it's not a mission. It's just that I'm currently acting under the identity of Holmes, so naturally, I have to complete Holmes's historical mission. Otherwise, it might affect the future. The worst case scenario might be that the future is changed, and I simply won't be born."...

Dorothy said truthfully.

And Adam was also a well-informed hero. With his level of strength, he had actually begun to explore the laws of time, space, and fate, so naturally, he understood the principle that history cannot be changed and should not be changed.

He easily understood his daughter's words, but immediately became even more worried.

Although he was very reluctant to let his daughter leave, after all, he had been used to loneliness before because he had never experienced the company of relatives. The most painful and cruel thing in the world is to have gained something, only to lose it again.

I could have endured the darkness, if only I had never seen the light.

It's just that, compared to his own pain, he was even more worried about his daughter's safety. If his daughter really didn't exist because of the change in history and simply disappeared, then Adam would find such a result even harder to bear.

Dim lights, eye protection, small, medium, large

"What are you going to do to the thirteen Blood Clan families? I'll go help you complete it."

After Mr. Hero was silent, he said resolutely.

Although this kind of thing seemed to go against the hero's impartial stance, Adam didn't hesitate or struggle; he made the decision very naturally.

The hero's stance is nothing compared to a single hair of his daughter, alright?

"This really isn't necessary, old man. Last night was just an accident; perhaps this is the backlash of fate. But it won't happen again later. I can solve the remaining things myself. You really don't need to intervene. If you really go against the hero's stance, be careful of being found by that Demon God Mamen."

Dorothy shook her head hurriedly, refusing the old man's active help.

It's just that, seeing Adam still looking quite worried, she had to add another sentence.

"If you intervene, old man, then history will really be changed, and then I might really be beyond saving."

And this sentence finally made Mr. Hero give up the plan of directly drawing his sword and rushing to the thirteen Blood Clan families, then directly speed-running it. It's just that a sense of powerlessness enveloped him, something he hadn't felt in a long time.

He hadn't felt this kind of powerlessness for many years. The last time he felt this was when he was young and participated in a dragon-slaying team, watching his teammates die one by one in front of him.

Adam suddenly became a bit dejected.

And Dorothy, seeing the old man like this, was also a bit speechless. She thought for a while, and then her eyes lit up.

"Although you can't take action against the thirteen Blood Clan families, old man, that Demon God Mamen must be hiding among the thirteen Blood Clan families. You still need to deal with this Demon God."

Mm, there is no part about Demon God Mamen in the legend of Holmes.

And for this Demon God of Original Sin standing in the Western Universe, Dorothy really didn't have much confidence in dealing with him. She could use the name of the Inquisition to scare the thirteen Blood Clan families, but it probably wouldn't scare Mamen.

To get rid of a Demon God of Original Sin, borrowing power is not enough; this requires real ability.

And this is something only Adam can do.

"Mm, then leave this to me."

Upon hearing his daughter's words, Adam immediately perked up.

No, it should be said that he was directly ignited.

When he first slayed a dragon back then, he wasn't this ignited or this serious...

This is a mission given to him by his daughter, and besides, he has a score to settle with Demon God Mamen; it is indeed time to make a clean break.

Mamen, it doesn't matter if you provoke me, even ninety-nine times, but since you blocked my daughter's path, then I'm sorry, you and I must make a clean break.

Mr. Hero's eyes ignited with the anger of an old father.

Greedy Demon God, you have brought this upon yourself.

And just when the father and daughter were chatting, the Griffin wing meat and tail meat had been cooked unconsciously.

The tempting aroma spread throughout the villa, and soon, Ati had already run over happily. She sat down at the dining table very consciously, waiting for the meal.

Subsequently, the Dog-kin Witch, who had been beaten until there weren't many good bones left in her body just yesterday, also crawled out using her hands and feet.

She was so anxious that she even lost her crutch, and the bandages all over her body were in a mess.

However, with delicious food in front of her, who cares about injuries? Miss Holmes's cooking is my best medicine.

Fenrir thought so in her heart.

A witch who had never eaten food before had been trained into a big foodie by Miss Holmes's god-like culinary skills in just this short month.

And witnessing Fenrir's appearance, Dorothy was also speechless.

She couldn't help but think of the werewolf ancestor in the legends of later generations, who seemed to be a greedy wolf that could never be full. Could this brat have become that?

Cough cough, there is no me in history, and the real Sage of Lies shouldn't have my skills either. I won't take the blame for this.

Dorothy shook her head, shaking off the strange thoughts in her mind.

And just when she was thinking about going to invite the two aunts to eat, she saw Camilla and Elizabeth walking over by themselves.

The Blood Clan royal sisters were naturally attracted by the aroma filling the room; this tempting aroma directly made the two of them have a greatly increased appetite.

This is a very rare situation. Although Blood Clan witches don't have to rely on drinking blood to survive like traditional vampires, they can also eat normal food.

But actually, the vast majority of Blood Clan witches still eat blood as their staple food.

After all, there is a big difference between being able to eat and liking to eat. For Blood Clan witches, the sweetness of blood is not something that ordinary food can compare to.

One is supreme deliciousness, the other is just barely enough to fill the stomach.

If there is really no blood, then using ordinary food to pad the stomach is fine, but the thirteen Blood Clan families are opening hospitals, alright? If there's nothing else, there's plenty of blood. They don't need to worry about blood sources.

However, now the two sisters actually developed an appetite for ordinary food other than fresh blood, which really surprised them.

And after the two came out, they saw the Home Witch busy in the kitchen.

Realizing that the food that attracted the two was actually cooked by Dorothy herself, the sisters couldn't help but look at each other, and then each saw confirmation in the other's eyes.

Mm, this time there is really no need to doubt this magician's identity as the Long Wang's special envoy.

After all, as everyone knows, the Long Wang loves delicious food; she is the biggest and best gourmet in the Witch World. Many witches have actually been practicing their culinary skills hard, trying to overtake on a bend, so as to attract the Long Wang's attention and soar into the sky.

Therefore, most of the people around the Long Wang have good culinary skills, and it is even rumored that you can infer this person's status and degree of favor in the Long Wang's heart based on the quality of their culinary skills.

And now, looking at the magician's skills that even Blood Clan witches want to quit drinking blood and start eating food after smelling, she is definitely the Long Wang's confidante.

This can't be wrong.

"Two, how have you thought about it?"

Dorothy didn't know what the two aunts were thinking at this time, she asked a bit nervously.

After all, whether her next plan goes smoothly depends entirely on whether these two aunts cooperate.

And to her repeated inquiry, the royal sisters lowered their heads together, and then knelt on one knee.

The Long Wang's decree, they had no choice from the beginning, they could only submit.

... Aunts submitting...
