"Mother, is this Miss Adela also a member of the family?"

Seeing that the ancestor's sister seemed unfamiliar with the Ye Meng Jia De family, Dorothy asked her mother, the Long Ma, helplessly.

"You should call her Great-Aunt Adela; she is your grandmother's cousin and also my little aunt."

Yu Feiliya corrected her thus.

Dorothy: "."

The Home Witch looked speechlessly at the data on this sunny, cheerful big sister who looked at most seventeen or eighteen years old.

Although she had long known that one should not judge a witch by her appearance, it was still a complex feeling to see such a young girl turn out to be of the grandmother generation.

Moreover, if it were just a matter of seniority, that would be one thing; there are humans who are young but have high seniority, but the key is that this great-aunt might be a genuine grandmother.

She glanced at the age written on the file.

Well, this great-aunt is already 310 years old this year.

Of course, by witch age standards, she is only in her early thirties in human terms, exactly in her prime, and judging by her appearance of only seventeen or eighteen, her mindset is definitely of the young variety.

So, calling her "great-aunt" is one thing, but if you called a young girl "grandma," wouldn't you just be asking for a beating?

And Long Ma's introduction continued.

"Adela was considered the most talented member of my previous family, but unfortunately, she wasn't of the direct line, and her succession ranking for the family head was too low. Besides, this little aunt of mine just likes dueling and enjoys the pleasure of one-on-one combat; she has no interest in leading troops into battle, nor is she very good at it. She truly doesn't have the personality to lead the family forward."

Yu Feiliya said this with some regret.

"However, her transformation magic is the best in the family in nearly ten thousand years, and her attainments are far above mine. Dorothy, if you are interested in transformation magic, you can go and ask her for advice more often. This great-aunt of yours is quite easy to get along with."

Dorothy nodded upon hearing this.

The Transformation Sect, along with the Spirit Sect and the Prophecy Sect, belongs to the upper three systems, and the requirements for aptitude are extremely high. Since this great-aunt is a transformation master, there is no need to doubt her talent and strength.

The Home Witch felt that she could indeed visit this young great-aunt when she had time later to ask for the key points of transformation magic.

Although she is a true transformation master now with the ancestor necklace hanging around her neck, one has to say, this Ye Meng Jia De sister really doesn't know how to teach people. If you ask her how to transform, she will tell you, "Just transform like this, it's very simple, you just need hands, just think about it a bit more."

It was only thanks to Dorothy's high comprehension that she could keep up with Ye Meng Jia De's rhythm, but even if she could keep up, it consumed a lot of brainpower, far less easy and breezy than learning from Master Zhizhu's textbooks.

"Then, Mother, do you think Adela can win?"

Dorothy asked again.

Regarding this, Long Ma thought for a moment and shook her head.

"That's really hard to say. I've seen that Miss Ye Meng Jia De a few times before. She is a bit eerie; even when I face her, I sometimes feel a chill. The thing sealed inside her is truly dangerous. If Ye Meng Jia De releases the thing inside her, then Adela will not be her opponent."

Hearing her mother say this, the Home Witch became even more curious about this ultimate weapon girl, Ye Meng Jia De.

What on earth is the remnant soul of that so-called ancient weapon sealed inside her that could make even Long Ma feel it's dangerous? That is to say, that thing is at least an existence that has a certain lethality to Sages.

And this is just a remnant soul; if it were in its prime, it would truly be terrifying. One can only say it is worthy of being a war weapon from the Great Expedition era; it is powerful enough.

Fortunately, she didn't have to be curious for long, because the duel started soon.

Both contestants entered the arena, the countdown hit zero, and the health bars appeared.

However, what surprised Dorothy was that this Miss Ye Meng Jia De was not wearing battle robes; she was also in a simple mage robe, and she didn't hold a staff in her hand either, just standing there empty-handed, not looking like she was prepared to participate in a duel at all.

This reminded the Home Witch of Miss Ma Tilian from the previous round. Could this Miss Ye Meng Jia De also be a witch of the Spirit Sect?

Dorothy recalled the combat records of this ultimate weapon girl she had seen in Inanna's training ground. At that time, this melancholic blonde girl didn't make any moves, but her opponent was scared into a mental breakdown and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

That appearance did indeed look like the work of the Spirit Sect, perhaps the effect of a spell similar to a fear curse.

The Home Witch thought to herself.

But the next moment, her eyes widened.

"Damn, what is this thing?"

Adela felt that her luck was not very good, having drawn the worst possible lot.

As the champion of the previous session, she was naturally extraordinary in strength, and she had long ago investigated the opponents in this final. Among the nine opponents in the final, there were three she felt were quite tricky.

One was Nuo E Luo Si; this good friend of her niece rarely participated in competitions and had no combat data left behind, but her strength was clearly extraordinary.

One was Inanna; the strength of this young master of the Long Ming Arena was impeccable and was a formidable enemy that needed to be dealt with carefully.

And if one were to ask who Adela least wanted to encounter, then without a doubt, it was the third one, Ye Meng Jia De.

After all, this young lady was simply too mysterious and too weird.

Adela had looked at many of the other party's combat records, but ended up seeing nothing; she didn't find any useful information.

Because all of the other party's duels were from the same template: she went on stage, the duel started, the opponent was scared to tears, and then she won.

If it weren't for the fact that among those players who were scared to tears and knelt begging for mercy, there were many of Adela's old acquaintances, she would have suspected that these guys were throwing the match.

Otherwise, what kind of terrifying thing could make these old hands who were long accustomed to dueling scared like that?

This is a duel, and you won't really die; at worst, you just lose the game. Where is the need to kneel and beg for mercy?

She could only speculate that this might be some kind of powerful and sophisticated fear curse.

But what was weird was that Adela had actually visited many players who had dueled with Ye Meng Jia De these days, wanting to understand what the other party had seen at that time to be scared like that, and whether that fear curse was really that powerful.

But then the real scary part had just begun.

Because everyone had forgotten what they had seen at that time; they had no impression of it, and could only recall the terror that went deep into their bones, but as for why they were terrified, they knew nothing.

Everyone's memory had been erased; they only remembered that they had seen something beyond understanding behind that Miss Ye Meng Jia De, and there was definitely something existing there.

However, many previous combat records had already shown that the mysterious witch had not moved at all since going on stage, and there was nothing behind her.

And this meant there were only two possibilities.

One was that they were all under some kind of illusion at the time, and what they saw were just hallucinations and did not really exist.

The second was that they really saw something, but that thing could only be seen by them, and others, including recording magic, could not capture the figure of that thing.

Adela was more inclined to the second possibility. After all, among the players who lost to Ye Meng Jia De, there were several experts of the Spirit Sect. If it were an illusion, they would have noticed it even if they couldn't block it.

Moreover, after these Spirit Sect players lost the game and forgot what they had seen, it was impossible for them to just let it go. After all, witches of the Spirit Sect hate it most when their consciousness is tampered with, so if they couldn't handle it themselves, they went back to find their parents.

One of the players even went to find the family ancestor, a true Sage, but even the Sage could not help her retrieve the lost memory.

In short, the whole thing looked very weird, just like a ghost story.

But the Witch World is a magical civilization, and ghost stories like ghost legends are enough to scare mortals, but they can't scare witches. However, for this Miss Ye Meng Jia De, Adela felt fear for the first time in a long time.

This is an ancient and powerful fear, the fear of humans for things that are completely unknown.

She found it hard to imagine what kind of power could make even a Sage helpless.

And she might have to face that kind of thing soon. So, could she really win?

Adela really wanted to comfort herself by saying she would win, but faced with this investigation result, she really couldn't deceive herself.

However, after this fear came curiosity.

She was really curious about what magical and terrifying things those players had witnessed. The more unknown and terrifying that thing was, the more curious she was.

Even if Adela knew that this curiosity was wrong and shouldn't exist, she couldn't control herself.

Therefore, when she learned that her first-round final opponent was really Ye Meng Jia De, while lamenting her bad luck, she actually had a little expectation.

She could finally see the things that those players were afraid of.

She would definitely remember that thing and would never forget it like others did after seeing it.

For this, Adela made a lot of preparations.

For example, mental defense props made by Spirit Sect big shots, various memory protection potions, magical animal transformation spells with quite high resistance to illusions, and so on.

Well, the meaning of this duel had changed; as long as she didn't lose her memory, that was a win.

So, bring it on, let me take a good look at what kind of ghost you are.

On the field, she, fully armed, bravely looked at the melancholic and lonely blonde girl opposite her.

And then

And then it was five minutes later.

When Adela woke up from the combat preparation room, she blinked her eyes in confusion.

Ah, what happened? Who am I, where am I, what was I going to do?

Her eyes revealed confusion.

No, has my game already finished?

But I don't remember anything.

Adela wanted to try to recall what had just happened, but her memory was a blank. But just as she tried to force herself to recall, a fear that almost froze her soul surged up, making her sweat profusely.

That was the fear of facing death directly.

And on the other side, in the arena.

The audience was discussing the previous match, which couldn't even be called a duel.

"Refund, refund."

"What is this, a fake match."

"I tolerated those few previous matches of Ye Meng Jia De; maybe she is indeed quite powerful and can kill her opponent in seconds, but this is the final, and the opponent is the champion of the previous session. You still kill her in seconds; this is an insult to my intelligence."

Someone shouted angrily.

There were also more rational audience members.

"It's impossible to be a fake match. The Long Wang Cup is a major competition, and this time the Long Wang is really paying attention."

"Maybe she is really that powerful, although this game is indeed not worth watching."

"Wait for the judging panel to give an explanation; don't be in a hurry."

But in fact, the judging panel was also in a mess at this time. After all, most of the judges were as confused as the audience, and they didn't understand anything either.

In their eyes, the game started, Miss Adela was scared into a breakdown, then knelt and begged for mercy, and finally committed suicide.

And Miss Ye Meng Jia De opposite really didn't move at all; she just quietly watched the opponent's performance throughout.

Now some audience members needed them to give an explanation, but they couldn't say that they didn't find anything either.

Fortunately, they had a big shot to testify.

Everyone's eyes hurriedly looked at the chief judge, Lancelot, who was sitting in the central main seat.

Regarding this, the Moon Rabbit Knight did not answer directly; she just turned her head and glanced at Dorothy

Well, it was the doll dragon puppet in front of Dorothy.

"Miss Witch of the Forest, do you have any opinion on this?"

She asked.

And hearing this inquiry, Dorothy finally came back to her senses from the surprise just now.

In her mind, the thing she saw behind Ye Meng Jia De appeared again.

It was a huge fortress city shrouded in mist.

A technological giant city that the Home Witch was very familiar with.

Longshan City.

This was a war fortress that Dorothy had personally designed during the previous Witch's Night. Therefore, even though the giant city in the mist had expanded countless times and become as magnificent as the City of God in mythology, she recognized it at a glance.

But how could this thing appear in reality?

Dorothy really wanted to ask this, but when she looked up at the fourth sun in the sky, she fell silent.

Well, compared to an extra sun in the sky, the city in the dream turning into reality was not strange.

Besides, it hadn't completely turned into reality; that fortress city, which was clearly technological in style, was now magically in a quantum state.

To be precise, it existed in the Spirit Realm, just like the state of Senior Fan Ni before, requiring specific holders of inspiration to see it.

As for why others would fear this city.

Hehe, look at the dense main guns on the city wall; this city was originally a war weapon manufactured to deal with the doomsday crisis, and anyone who sees that firepower will be confused.

Of course, pure firepower might not necessarily scare everyone.

The main thing was that the current structure of this Longshan City made Dorothy feel a bit familiar.

That was the homologous structure of the Netherworld system.

Longshan City had already become a Netherworld city.

Looking directly at this city was the same as Dorothy's Netherworld Gate; it was equivalent to looking directly at death.

Hehe, Ye Meng Jia De, Kingdom of the Dead, this really fits now.

But the problem is, why did Longshan City appear?

Dorothy originally thought that Miss Ye Meng Jia De just wanted to participate in the competition for fun, but now she felt that this girl might be coming for her.

The Home Witch is on alert

The female demon in the Pan Si Cave is really not bad, but my fourth sister, sigh
