Chapter 888: Apprentice, save me
Turn off the lights to protect your eyes: Small, Medium, Large 1019. Apprentice, save me
"Master Rose? You actually came."
"Master Rose, I am your fan, please be sure to help me sign, just sign on the chest."
"Master Rose"
Seeing the exchange between the master and apprentice end, the visitors who had been enduring for a long time swarmed up. They surrounded the Spider Master and asked.
Noe Rose: "???"
The Spider Witch was confused.
No, who are you all? Why are you here?
She rushed over at light speed after brushing the news of the Forest Witch and Dorothy, and she was too anxious just now, with only her precious apprentice in her eyes, so she didn't pay attention to anything else. So, coming back to her senses now, she was immediately a bit confused.
Ah, this, where am I? What is this for?
However, confusion was confusion, but after looking at this group of "fans" beside her a few more times, she immediately realized the severity of the problem.
Damn, so many big shots.
Wow, so many seniors are here.
Eh, Senior Sid Weier, you are my idol, I grew up listening to your legends.
Turtle, Senior Estil is also here.
Noe Rose fell into a pile of masters and was a bit nervous.
Although she currently has quite a reputation in the academic world, she is not even 200 years old, still a girl among girls, feeling that her qualifications are still shallow, while among the pile of masters in front of her, many are old seniors who have been famous for several thousand years.
The Spider Witch did grow up listening to the legends of these seniors, especially in those years when she was ten or twenty years old, she regarded these seniors as idols.
Although many former idols have been left behind by her now.
It's just that, out of respect for her former idols, she had to endure the confusion in her head at this time, put on a business-like smile, and began to exchange pleasantries with these visitors who came up.
And after a lot of nonsense, Noe Rose finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
Good heavens, my apprentice has actually become the chief engineer of a legendary warship construction project?
Damn, this wonder workshop is really spectacular. Whose handwriting is this? And why do so many crafts look so familiar? Ah, this, my apprentice built it?
Oh, then it's fine.
Even though she was already mentally shocked to the point of numbness because of a certain bold guess, at this time, the Spider Witch was still smashed by the huge amount of information one after another, making her even more dizzy.
She suddenly felt that she might not be a good teacher, otherwise, the apprentice had become so awesome, why didn't she know?
In short, although Noe Rose had always believed that her precious apprentice Dorothy was a genius, at this moment, she found that her mediocre imagination was ultimately difficult to imagine the world of a true genius.
This is no longer an apprentice; she is almost becoming my teacher.
Looking at the wonder workshop in front of her that would be difficult to make more perfect even if she took action herself, the Spider Witch was a bit lost for a while.
However, in this way, wouldn't the bold guess she just made have a higher and higher accuracy rate?
Thinking of this, Noe Rose felt uneasy.
She really wanted to run over and ask Dorothy clearly now, but she was worried about whether she could accept the fact if she really got the answer she wanted from her apprentice's mouth.
And on the other side, Dorothy was not in a hurry. She clapped her hands, and after attracting everyone's attention, she began to officially take people to visit her proud workshop.
"This is the dock of our workshop, built with a compressed big world as the framework, absolutely sturdy and durable, and the berths are sufficient. This is the place to realize dreams, so we named it Dreamland."
"This is our warship void testing ground, used to test the jump performance of warships. This is the top void simulation array self-developed by our workshop, which can 100% fully restore various extreme situations in the void. We named it Silver Room..."
"This is our production base. The alchemy furnaces matched here are all new products self-developed by our factory. The performance is about 20% stronger than the highest-performance alchemy furnaces circulating in the market. Basically, it can be said that the materials sent into the furnace are like being reborn, and they have definitely been turned into magic when they come out, so we call it Mother God Palace"
"This is the magic furnace of our workshop. As everyone knows, in large alchemy projects, the supply of magic energy is the top priority. The best magic furnace in the past was the Dragon Heart Furnace imitating the giant dragon heart, but now the times have changed. Our Star Industry has self-developed a new generation of brand-new magic furnace, which we named Chaos Furnace Heart."
"How powerful is our Chaos Furnace Heart? For this, I only want to say four words: leading the way."
"The power of the ancient Dragon Heart Furnace is known to everyone, but what I want to say is that our various performances comprehensively crush the ancient Dragon Heart Furnace, and the leading margin is not just a little bit, all are above 10%."
"A good horse naturally needs a good saddle. In order to fully exert the performance of this Chaos Furnace Heart, our Star Industry has reached a cooperation with Miss Forest Witch to launch a brand-new magic circulation system, which we named the Old Days System."
"Under the regulation of the powerful Old Days System, the power from the old days will be efficiently transmitted to every section of the workshop, ensuring that all sections have stable and abundant magic power to use."
Just like this, Dorothy led everyone to visit the workshop all the way, talking eloquently.
It wasn't until dusk that this visit officially came to an end, and the personnel from the major workshops who came to visit had no doubts about using Star Industry's workshop as the next warship construction base.
After all, there are sports cars to drive, who wants to drive a broken tractor?
Anyway, by the time the visit ended, everyone was still a bit reluctant to leave, looking like they couldn't wait to start working on the spot.
To this, the Home Witch smiled. She knew that her "seduction technique" had already succeeded halfway.
For this group of warship builders, such a perfect workshop was more attractive than any beauty. This was just a look. After the warship construction started, let this group of guys really experience the coolness of Star Industry, and by then, there will definitely be many people addicted to
Hehe, once these guys are all trained into the shape of the workshop, will I still be short of manpower?
Hmm, as long as the bait is cast well, how could the fish not take the hook?
I'll just sit back and wait for a bumper harvest.
And after sending off the various visitors, Dorothy finally turned her gaze back to Spider Laoshi, who had been hesitating to speak the whole time.
"Laoshi, if you want to ask something, just ask. I've watched you struggling with it the whole way here."
The Home Witch said helplessly.
She had just intentionally left such a huge flaw for Laoshi; she didn't believe Laoshi could truly not see the problem at all.
"I..."
Upon hearing this, Nuo E Luo Si opened her mouth, but the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back again, then looked at the few people beside her with some wariness.
Dim lights, eye protection, small, medium, large 1019. Little apprentice, save me.
"Laoshi, no need to worry. Sophie Liya and Miya-senpai are trustworthy. You can just ask directly."
Dorothy looked at the two sisters beside her and said this.
Hmm, at this moment, only the four of them remained in the workshop.
Nuo E Luo Si: "..."
The Spider Witch was silent.
What else is there to ask?
If she had only been fifty percent sure when she saw the doll earlier, then after touring this workshop, she was already eighty-eight percent sure.
After all, if it were just a life-substitute puppet, it might still be a coincidence, but many of the technologies in this workshop that were supposedly "co-developed with the Witch Miss" all had traces of her own unique secret arts; this could not be a coincidence.
Then there is Dorothy's attitude right now; she might as well have the words "showdown" written on her face.
It's just that, even though she was ninety-nine percent sure in her heart now, Nuo E Luo Si finally took a deep breath and asked.
"Dorothy, is there a possibility that I actually have schizophrenia, and the other me is actually the Forest Witch?"
Dorothy: "."
Watching her Laoshi across from her staring at her with eight evil, charming spider eyes without blinking, the Home Witch, who had already subconsciously prepared to nod and admit that she was the Forest Witch, fell silent.
She had to admit that Laoshi is Laoshi after all; even she couldn't wrap her head around this magical train of thought for a moment.
"Don't disbelieve it. After all, those of us who play with puppets are prone to schizophrenia, especially my lineage, which requires special talents like multiple thinking or parallel consciousness for puppet arts; it's even easier to develop this kind of illness."
"Hmm, maybe it's just that my parallel thinking has gained autonomous consciousness. Otherwise, it can't explain why the Forest Witch would know so many of my unique techniques. It's similar, really too similar."
Nuo E Luo Si tried her best to speak with a straight face.
Dorothy: "..."
The Home Witch fell silent again.
"Laoshi, isn't there a possibility that I taught her?"
She said this.
But the Spider Witch immediately shook her head.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Knowledge has power. If my secret transmissions were spread without my permission, I would sense both the one who spreads it and the one who learns it."
Nuo E Luo Si said this.
Dorothy blinked her eyes at this.
Ah, is that so? I really didn't know that.
"Then the answer to the problem is very obvious. The Forest Witch can only be one of us two, master and apprentice, and that must be me. It couldn't possibly be you, a sixteen-year-old little kid."
The Spider Witch said this expressionlessly.
Dorothy: ".."
A genius's logic; Laoshi, your deduction is indeed impeccable.
The Home Witch started clapping directly, then mercilessly interrupted Laoshi's self-deception.
"I'm sorry, Laoshi, the Forest Witch really is me."
She said this calmly and firmly.
Afterward, Dorothy looked seriously at the reaction of the Spider Laoshi in front of her, ready to blink at any moment; after all, her CG collection plan was still ongoing.
It was just that, to the Home Witch's surprise, the Laoshi in front of her didn't show the expected expression of rage or shock; she was unexpectedly calm—so calm that Dorothy couldn't stay composed herself.
"Laoshi, first of all, I really didn't do it on purpose. Before becoming your apprentice, I really didn't know about the conflict between you and the Forest Witch. I only just found out about this."
She explained cautiously.
However...
"Thump."
There was the sound of knees hitting the ground; Nuo E Luo Si knelt down decisively.
Home Witch: ".."
Damn, Laoshi, you can't do this.
Naturally, she didn't dare to accept such a grand gesture and hurriedly prepared to dodge.
But Nuo E Luo Si anticipated her dodge and lunged forward, directly hugging her precious apprentice's thigh.
"Wuwuwu, Witch-sama, I'm your fan. Please take me with you. I have so many projects that are stuck; I can't think of anything at all. Since you understand my train of thought so well, hurry up and teach me."
The Spider Witch cried out decisively.
Dorothy: "...."
Damn, the world has turned upside down.
She had to admit that she had overestimated her Laoshi's integrity. Also, looking at the Spider Laoshi's previous performance, this person has no integrity to speak of.
I'm so stupid, really. With the Spider Laoshi's personality of being so partial to talent—that as long as there is talent, she can forgive anything—how could she be angry out of shame because she found out the Forest Witch was her apprentice? She would only be ecstatic.
And now...
The Home Witch looked down at her Laoshi, who was hugging her thigh and wouldn't let go, her eyes full of "Little apprentice, save me."
In the end, her own high integrity limited her imagination; she never expected there would be this operation of sponging off an apprentice.
In fact, it wasn't just her who was stunned; Sophie Liya and Miya-senpai on the side were also completely stunned.
Of course, there was also Long Ma, who had actually been secretly observing ever since Nuo E Luo Si's doll ran off on its own.
"Luo Si, can you have some dignity? You, who were kicked out of the house for sponging off your parents, are now actually thinking of sponging off your apprentice."
Yu Fei Li Ya couldn't stand it anymore and jumped out, then punched her best friend, causing her to hold her head and cry, rolling on the ground.
"What do you mean I'm thinking of sponging off my apprentice? Isn't taking an apprentice just for the sake of sponging off them later? Otherwise, why would I take one? Raising children to provide for old age; taking an apprentice is the same logic."
Nuo E Luo Si was still a bit afraid of her senpai, but she still gathered the courage to say this righteously.
At this, Dorothy was truly shocked.
Damn, Laoshi, was this the idea you had when you took me as an apprentice?
Damn, no wonder you like talent so much; as long as there is talent, everything can be forgiven. It turns out you were looking for a meal ticket for yourself. Indeed, a meal ticket with ability tastes better.
Damn, why didn't I think of this trick?
Spider Laoshi, you are the true genius.
The Home Witch thought this, feeling that her Laoshi was truly heaven-defying.
However, it seems the Spider Laoshi is indeed the ultimate homebody, even more so than her.
It's just, so Laoshi, you were kicked out of the house because you sponged off your parents too hard? But didn't Senpai say that with your talent, you shouldn't have been allowed to leave the house before becoming a Sage?
Just how capable are you at sponging off your parents?
.... Dorothy is curious.....
