Chapter 910: Adam's Gift

"Uh..."

Hearing the blessing from her father in front of her, Dorothy was stunned for a moment. Her brain, which had been somewhat chaotic due to long hours of overtime, suddenly cleared up.

"Damn, so today is my birthday."

She realized this only then.

However, perhaps because she had already dozed off for a few hours and her spirit had recovered to a certain extent, after a brief jolt, she woke up as if from a dream, and her sluggish brain regained its usual flexibility.

"No wonder everyone's expressions were so strange when I said we'd hold the celebration banquet tomorrow."

She suddenly realized.

Of course, this wasn't a big problem either. After all, a birthday should have been a time to invite family and sisters to gather and eat and drink well. Now, these two happy events overlapped—this was a double blessing. She decided that the ingredient standard for tomorrow's celebration banquet could be raised another notch.

However, the banquet could be discussed tomorrow. Dorothy's attention was mainly focused on Adam and Annie in front of her. She then looked at her father's face and revealed a gloating smile.

"Dad, although I'm very happy that you came to celebrate my birthday, I think it's somewhat inappropriate for you to run over in the middle of the night and knock on my window to wish me a happy birthday. How about you come back formally during the day tomorrow?"

The Home Witch said this.

Hehe, Annie just said it too; Adam was just afraid to come during the day, which is why he launched a midnight raid.

As for why he didn't dare to come during the day, that goes without saying—naturally, it's because he has a guilty conscience.

After all, her father was originally the Great Steward of the Radiant Domain, but in the end, he took her and defected. This offended not just Dragon Mom alone, but the entire Radiant Domain led by Dragon Mom.

Even if Dragon Mom didn't pursue Adam's previous actions for Dorothy's sake, once Adam appeared in the Radiant Domain again, the others wouldn't have such a good temper.

Of course, with Adam's personality, he wasn't a timid person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to steal Dorothy away back then. There is nothing more suicidal than stealing the heir of a Witch Domain.

It was mainly because this guy had a guilty conscience himself, so he didn't dare to face everyone in the Radiant Domain.

"*Cough cough*, no, no. I've celebrated your birthday with you for so many years; this time I won't fight with your mother."

Teased by his daughter, the expression on Adam's handsome face couldn't hold up. He awkwardly reached out to scratch his cheek, then took out a gift box from his pocket and handed it over.

"This is your birthday gift. I'll give it to you now."

On the side, Annie also took out a gift box.

"Mm, this is my gift for you. Happy birthday, Dorothy."

This petite and cute stepmother said this.

For the birthday gifts from her family, Dorothy naturally wouldn't pretentiously refuse. She happily took the two gift boxes.

"Can I open them now?"

She asked, looking at the two with expectant, wide eyes.

"Of course you can."

Adam smiled and nodded.

"Mm, as you like. They are all given to you, so you can naturally handle them as you wish."

Annie crossed her arms and said somewhat tsundere-ly.

"Yay."

The Home Witch cheered upon hearing this.

Anyway, there was nothing to be embarrassed about in front of her parents; who isn't a child? Besides, who could refuse the temptation of unwrapping birthday gifts?

Dorothy first unwrapped Annie's gift. After all, this stepmother was the one in charge at home; she was the head of the household, so she had to give her some face.

"I'm really looking forward to what the gift will be. I'm really looking forward to it."

The Home Witch read this in a monotone.

Actually, she could roughly guess what gift Annie would give her; after all, she had already secretly seen that gift long ago.

Sure enough, as the gift box opened, a very cool-looking red triangular hunter's hat appeared in Dorothy's line of sight. The hat was embroidered with the mark of the Blood Moon, which was Annie's symbol.

Of course, this thing was actually also the mark of the Red Moon Sage, although the stepmother herself, who hadn't awakened yet, might not even know this.

However, even just considering the hat itself, this was a quite high-level magical item. Both the exquisite workmanship and the powerful mana fluctuations emanating from it could show this.

"Wow..."

Dorothy picked up the hat and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

This time it wasn't a monotone performance; it was sincere from the heart. After all, although she had secretly seen this hat at home long ago, at that time, firstly, she hadn't studied it carefully, and secondly, Annie had applied a seal to hide this surprise back then.

Therefore, the Home Witch only knew that this hat should be quite good back then, but now she discovered that her stepmother was even more willing to spend money than she had imagined.

This hat was sealed with the power of a vampire, and judging from the intensity, it was at least the power of a Hou Jue-level vampire. One must know that in the thirteen clans of the Blood Race, each clan only had three Marquises in total.

Of course, what was sealed in this hat wasn't a vampire witch Hou Jue, but a genuine Abyss Demon Vampire Hou Jue.

Dorothy studied it roughly and discovered that as long as she wore the hat, she could borrow the vampire power within it. Not only mana, but even many special abilities of vampires could be used as well.

At the moment, she secretly turned her head to look at the room and, after discovering that Senior Fan Ni was still sleeping, she put this hat on her head.

Tsk, there's an inexplicable thrill of cheating on one's wife.

And after formally wearing it, the temperament on her body changed instantly, becoming elegant and magical, with nobility revealed in the darkness—it had the flavor of a Dark Night Aristocrat.

And with a wave of her hand, blood seeped from her fingertips, gradually condensing into a blood longsword.

This was the vampire's blood control technique.

The Home Witch then reached out to press the hat down, and her figure instantly turned into smoke and dissipated.

This was atomization.

And after the mist dispersed, there was the sound of bat wings flapping, and a group of beautiful and cute little bats condensed back into a human form, manifesting Dorothy's figure.

Transforming into bats.

Moreover, her beautiful peach-blossom eyes narrowed, and a scarlet color flashed in them. Her whole person instantly became enchanting and beautiful, but the next moment she became plain and unremarkable, as if she were a village girl seen everywhere.

Soon, Dorothy had fully mastered the abilities of this Vampire Hunter Hat, and then she felt somewhat moved in her heart.

It had to be said that Annie had put a lot of effort into preparing this gift; this was almost equipment tailor-made specifically for her.

Of course, it was for the weakling she was a year ago.

At that time, she lacked mana, so the vampire Hou Jue power in the hat could solve this problem.

She didn't dare to show her true face to people, fearing that she was too beautiful and would cause trouble, so the Blood Race's charm power could solve this problem to a certain extent.

And because she often taught Alice magic and was very familiar with the power of Blood Race witches, she could naturally easily master the many abilities of this vampire Hou Jue.

It could be said that as long as she relied on this hat, Dorothy could be considered an expert among the younger generation of witches.

The only problem was that the Home Witch's version updates were a bit fast. In just over half a year, this Vampire Hunter Hat seemed to be unable to keep up with the version and could probably only be relegated to a warehouse-keeper.

However, this didn't prevent Dorothy from being happy about it. After all, the heart of Annie contained in this hat was far more precious than the gift itself.

"Thank you, Annie. I really like this gift."

The Home Witch gave her stepmother a sweet smile and thanked her.

Annie turned her head away somewhat embarrassedly.

"Forget it, I'm not blind. I can see that this hat is a bit of a chicken rib to you now. As long as you don't dislike it."

The petite Vampire Queen said this.

The material of this hat was the heart core of a vampire Hou Jue she had hunted on the battlefield when she was young; this was one of the most valuable treasures in all her possessions.

It was originally intended to be left for Alice to absorb as nourishment in the future, but after remarrying Adam and discovering the talent of this stepdaughter, she changed her mind and spent a lot of money to ask an old friend to make it into this Vampire Hunter Hat.

It's just that she really didn't expect this stepdaughter's growth speed to be so perverted back then. A few months ago, she was still a harmless 10,000-mana little witch, but now, even a quasi-peak witch like her only felt unfathomable when standing in front of this guy.

Tsk, after all, she is the world-famous Clown Great Inquisitor. If she really started a fight now, she might be beaten up by this stepdaughter.

"It's not a chicken rib at all; it's quite useful, okay."

Dorothy seriously refuted her tsundere stepmother.

Although Annie also understood that this guy was comforting her, she still felt much better.

"Alright, as long as you like it. Anyway, there is still room for upgrades. If you have the ability, go to the front line and slaughter a Vampire Progenitor to absorb and strengthen it, and then you can use it."

Dorothy: "..."

She slaughter a Vampire Progenitor? That's equivalent to a Sage-level Great Demon God, okay? I'd be lucky if I wasn't the one being hunted. Stepmother, you really think highly of me.

No longer paying attention to this tsundere stepmother, the Home Witch turned her gaze to the other gift box beside her.

Adam's gift.

Dorothy really didn't know that her father had prepared another birthday gift for her. She originally thought that this Vampire Hunter Hat was a gift they had prepared together, but this was an unexpected surprise.

It's just that, for what Adam would give her, the Home Witch really couldn't guess.

Generally speaking, Adam in this life is just an ordinary mortal mage. Even if his strength is considered legendary among mortals, in the eyes of witches, he is just at the level of an elite witch, at most a weak Great Witch.

Mm, Dorothy seems to be able to beat her father with one hand without borrowing power now, so naturally, she couldn't expect her father to take out anything particularly precious with this bit of strength.

But thinking of the depth of this father, who looks like an ordinary person, hidden under countless reincarnations, even the Home Witch felt a bit unsure. Who knows if Adam would give her a sudden big surprise?

Tsk, thinking about it this way, I'm even more expectant.

Sure enough, opening a blind box requires this sense of the unknown to be exciting. Annie's gift just now lacked this sense of excitement.

"Dad, what did you send?"

She rubbed her hands, but didn't open the box immediately, instead asking Adam first.

"Won't you know if you open it?"

Adam rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Isn't this to increase a bit of ritual sense? Give me a hint. Mm, you are eager for me not to go to the battlefield, so you definitely won't send me weapons or anything. You already sent a magic bag before, so is it some rare magic spell?"

Dorothy guessed this, but the handsome face of her old father, which usually looked quite pleasing to the eye, now always wore a mysterious smile that made one want to punch him.

"Guess, guess again?"

He was almost writing these words on his face.

The Home Witch: "..."

I guess your ghost.

Dorothy didn't want that ritual sense anymore. She opened the gift box, which wasn't too big, and then...

A shrinking spell was actually applied to this gift box. As the gift box was opened, the shrinking spell was lifted, and the object in the box instantly returned to its original size.

The sound of a heavy object hitting the floor echoed in the room.

Although the Home Witch was caught off guard by this unexpected surprise, she actually reached out in time to hold the object in the box. However, even so, the weight of this special gift still exceeded her expectations, so it ended up hitting the floor.

It's just that Dorothy had no time to feel sorry for the floor at this moment; she just looked at the gift in front of her in astonishment.

This was a super huge heavy bow. Its exaggerated size was even too much for the Home Witch, who was already two meters tall as a Dragon Witch, as if this thing should have been a weapon used by giants in myths.

And whether it was this exaggerated form, the heavy weight, the various fierce exotic beast carvings on the bow, or the terrifying mana pressure emanating from the bow, all of these were telling of the terrifying power of this divine weapon.

This was a fierce weapon.

"Dad, did you change your personality, or were you possessed? No, where did you get this thing? You didn't hook up with that rich lady again, did you? I really don't need a third mother for now."

The Home Witch blinked and said this to Adam.

After all, this was too abnormal. Adam was the one most afraid of her becoming a war maniac like Dragon Mom. If possible, he was the one who least wanted her to go to the battlefield and stain her hands with blood.

So, such an old father suddenly sent her such a fierce weapon with such heavy murderous intent that even she felt a bit terrified. There was definitely something wrong somewhere.

And the level of this big bow was really too exaggerated. This thing was the highest-level weapon she had ever seen in her life, even higher than the God King Holy Sword that Sophie Liya had pulled out before.

This was a genuine artifact.

Is this kind of thing something my ordinary father should have?

However, Adam didn't pay attention to his daughter's nonsense. He just looked at the big bow with a complex expression, and then introduced it.

"Stop talking nonsense. This is truly an ancestral treasure. Our family's ancestors have actually always been heroes. There were ancestors who slaughtered dragons, and there were ancestors who saved the country, but we gradually declined. Many of the hero divine weapons once used by our ancestors have been lost, and only this big bow has been preserved because no one has been able to control it until now. I specially returned to my hometown this time to take it. Dorothy, you should be able to control it."

"Its name is the God-Hunting Bow—Shooting Down the Hundred Heads."

Adam is introducing it... ===== CHAPTER 911 =====
