Chapter 952

In fact, for many years, Yufilia had always had a question, and that was why the object most compatible with her bloodline was actually Adam, a mortal. Back then, although she listened to the advice of that fortune-teller and eventually found the most handsome man in her territory, when she finally discovered that he was just a weak mortal, she immediately felt a bit suspicious of the fortune-teller's divination in her heart.

After all, what she sought was an heir with excellent talent, and finding a mortal to have children with would only result in a half-witch. But the innate difference in aptitude between a half-witch and a pure-blood witch is well-known; could that child really be considered to have excellent talent?

Regarding this, she really didn't believe it much.

Therefore, normally speaking, according to her temper, she should have directly abandoned that so-called "prophecy" on the spot; after all, she was never the type of personality to be superstitious about other people's judgments.

However, that day she finally decided to trust that fortune-teller for once, and eventually made a deal with Adam, then borrowed his seed and went back to conceive Dorothy using secret arts.

Of course, judging from the current results, there is no doubt that this was a correct judgment. That fortune-teller's prophecy was indeed very accurate; her bloodline was most compatible with Adam's, and the child, Dorothy, was so excellent that it far exceeded what she had once imagined.

Hmm, I can only say that it is worthy of being a prophecy made by the Empress.

Tsk, but why didn't I recognize that the fortune-teller was the Empress back then?

I always feel like something is strange somewhere.

Forget it, I won't think about it anymore; anyway, these judgments are all hindsight, all deducing the cause from the result.

What should really be pondered is why fate would think that only her and Adam's bloodlines could conceive the most excellent child.

What exactly is special about Adam, this weak mortal?

Regarding this, Yufilia is actually a bit curious.

It's just that, nowadays she is really annoyed at that bastard Adam who stole her daughter, and she wants to beat that guy up every time she sees him, so she really doesn't have the heart to explore that guy's secrets.

Moreover, having excessive curiosity about a person is dangerous, and it's easy to get trapped and go astray later.

The Dragon Wang Hou herself doesn't really understand this principle, but she has seen it acted out in books and plays, so she has always been vigilant about such emotions and will clear them immediately upon discovery.

Hehe, mere boring emotions will only delay her career. She still has many things to be busy with for the revival of the Ye Meng Jia De clan; where would she have the leisure to waste time satisfying that boring curiosity?

However, nowadays she seems to have finally found the answer to this question.

"So Adam, that guy, is a successor of the Hero? No wonder he would be so special."

Yufilia had a sudden realization in her heart.

As the Dragon Wang Hou, her understanding of Heroes is not something that little witches can compare to, and she is also the Grand Inquisitor of the Tribunal, so she can know some secrets that ordinary people do not know.

As far as she knows, the inheritance of the special profession of Hero is quite ancient, even older than the history of the witch clan. Long before the witch clan appeared, legends of Heroes had already been circulating in the Western Universe.

Where the first Hero came from is, by now, a secret that cannot be investigated. Anyway, according to the history of the three long-standing, old-school Golden Races—Angels, Demons, and Dragons—they had already had battles with so-called Heroes a long time ago.

After all, the most classic Hero images include God-Slayers, Demon Hunters, Dragon Slayers, and so on.

It's not that the old-school Three Great Calamities haven't thought about completely crushing these annoying Heroes, but after they tried, they discovered in despair that these Heroes were just like weeds in the field. As soon as they finished killing one batch, not long after, a new batch would grow out. Even if they ruthlessly used world-destroying magic, they would still encounter them in other worlds after a while.

This spreading ability is even stronger than a plague; even the Three Great Calamities didn't understand for a time how these guys passed down their inheritance.

However, by now, the Calamities have a certain understanding of the Hero profession, which is always at odds with them, but this understanding is instead despairing.

They discovered that the Hero profession seems to be rooted in the bloodline of humanity. As long as the human race exists for one day, the Hero profession seems to be unbreakable. There will always be some Chosen Ones who will comprehend the power of the Hero without a teacher under specific conditions, and thus become new Heroes.

If you want to completely destroy Heroes, you must first eradicate humanity.

But the human race is really everywhere in the Western Universe, just like cockroaches. Not to mention the worlds that have already been explored, even in those newly expanded worlds, you can always see the figures of local indigenous humans.

Exterminating the humans of one world is quite simple, but exterminating the humans of the entire Western Universe is a fantasy; even the Calamity races cannot possibly do it.

Not to mention that witches cannot allow such things to happen. After all, they are an evolved species of humans, and because the Witch World has a probability of transforming human fetuses within its borders into Primordial Witches, humans are even an important source of population for witches. Whether from the perspective of emotion or interest, witches will not allow humans to be exterminated.

However, it is precisely because of the witches' care for humans that the conflict between the Witch World and Heroes is not that intense; in fact, the relationship between the two is quite good. Many witches have even been partners of Heroes, and the young witches of the Witch World also admire Heroes quite a bit, just like the reaction of the little witches just now.

There are also many witch scholars who believe that witches and Heroes are actually related species. After all, both are evolved species of humans; witches are more like the physical evolution of humans, while Heroes seem to be the spiritual evolution.

After all, the most powerful thing about Heroes is their fearless and unyielding hearts.

It's just that how long this friendly atmosphere between the two can be maintained is also a question mark. After all, most of the first witches were transformed from humans. When they were active, they could naturally get along with humans in a friendly way, but their children might not necessarily be able to maintain this friendliness, let alone their children's children.

Anyway, as the older generation of witches gradually retires and the gap between the power of the witch clan and humans gradually widens, many of the new generation of witches are increasingly unwilling to acknowledge humans as "poor relatives." The personalities of many modern witches have indeed become increasingly cruel, gradually transforming toward true Calamity races.

According to the reality known to Yufilia, in the recent Demon King era, the conflict events between witches and Heroes seem to be increasing year by year.

Looking at it this way, the break between witches and Heroes seems to be a matter of time.

And the Dragon Wang Hou, as a witch, naturally stands from the perspective of a witch. In her view, Heroes are actually a serious threat.

As the Grand Inquisitor, she has always been quite special about Heroes. In her view, once the two races fall out, these Heroes may become the source of disaster for the witch clan, or even the root of extermination.

Although as of now, those so-called Heroes cannot yet become a climate, and although some legendary Heroes can indeed rival Golden Races, such powerful characters only appear once every few hundred years. And although Heroes are strong, their lifespan is still the short hundred years of humans, which determines that they cannot become a climate.

But Yufilia has traversed the battlefield for many years and has been able to achieve so many military exploits precisely because she never underestimates any enemy.

In the eyes of the Angel race back then, weren't witches also weaklings who couldn't become a climate? But there is no need to say much about the fate of the Angel race afterward.

The Dragon Wang Hou always has a premonition in her heart that if the cruel joy of the witches will eventually end in cruelty, then the sword-wielder will not be anyone else, but these Heroes.

Weren't the witches of the past also a kind of Hero?

The Hero who slays the dragon becomes the new evil dragon, so naturally, they will inevitably be defeated by a new Hero.

Fate has always been this fair.

It's just that Yufilia didn't expect that the Hero was right by her side. Adam is a Hero, and now her daughter Dorothy seems to have also obtained the inheritance of a Hero.

This is a bit awkward.

She naturally doesn't care much about Adam or anything, but she cares too much about Dorothy.

This child is a witch but has a Hero's heart, so her future situation will be very awkward.

Thinking of this, the Dragon Wang Hou suddenly had a headache.

"Sigh, I should have thought of it long ago. This child had already told me some hard-to-understand words like equality, freedom, and bonds back then. These are things that Heroes often say. Damn Adam, what have you taught your daughter, you bastard?"

Yufilia thought angrily in her heart, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her foster daughter and beloved disciple, Sophie Sophie Liya, and then sighed again.

Sigh, what kind of sin has she committed? How can the two children be such a "Crouching Long Feng Chick," being so similar?

Because of the bloodline of the Lord of Radiance, Sophie Sophie Liya was stuck between being an Angel and a Witch. Her matter was finally resolved with great difficulty, but then her daughter also fell into the same situation.

Sophie Sophie Liya's problem is easy to solve; the identity of a Son of the God King is enough for her to regain her freedom.

But Dorothy's side...

The gradually expanding conflict between witches and Heroes is almost irreconcilable.

Heroes are all stubborn; it is almost impossible for them to compromise, and witches...

May I ask, who has the ability to call upon all witches to put down their arrogance and be good people from now on?

Anyway, Yufilia asks herself that she cannot do such a thing, even if she has the power of a Sage. After all, force is not omnipotent, and not everything can be spoken with fists.

In terms of changing the atmosphere and changing people's hearts, a pen might be more useful than a fist, and prestige is also more useful than fear.

And as for Dorothy...

The Dragon Wang Hou remembered her daughter's "Witch of the Forest" alter ego. Hmm, if it's this idol of the masses...

"Sigh."

She thought about it and shook her head.

The popularity and appeal of the Witch of the Forest are enough, but relying solely on popularity and appeal cannot change the world; she still lacks execution.

And when it comes to execution, this leads back to force.

Fine, force indeed cannot solve everything, but without force, you simply cannot do many things.

Anyway, after going around in a big circle, it seems the only way to make all witches follow your will is left with only one, which is...

Become the new Witch King.

Only the Witch King has the ability and authority to reverse the atmosphere of the witches.

It's just that, even for an ambitious career woman like Yufilia, her goal has always been just to revitalize the family business, and her expectations and requirements for her daughter have only been to become an excellent heir.

As a result, now you want Dorothy to become the Witch King?

Even the Dragon Wang Hou feels that this is really too much. How can one set such a goal for a child? This is somewhat unrealistic.

However...

Yufilia's gaze moved slightly upward from her daughter. She looked at that Highness, and then her eyes lit up.

Hmm, speaking of the Witch King, isn't there a ready-made future King here?

Although the future belonging to this future King still seems a bit remote, at least she has a destiny upon her.

It's just that, this Highness's madness...

Sigh...

Yufilia sighed again.

Forget it, to use her daughter's words, I thought the gathering of the "Crouching Long Feng Chick" was already a miracle, but I didn't expect there to be an even higher expert; this is a "Young Qilin."

They are all problem children.

There's no saving them, just wait for death, let it be.

The Dragon Wang Hou finally gave up thinking.

And on the other side...

The little witches naturally don't know what the adults behind them are worrying about; they are happily hunting.

"What are you roaring for? Keep it low-key for me, you've scared away all my prey."

The Fairy King pointed at the "Shooting Hundred Heads" in her hand with her finger and warned it like this.

So the pitiful big bow had to carefully restrain the terrible fierce power it had before, becoming plain and unadorned.

It's a pity that this didn't have any effect.

After all, the terrible commotion before had already scared away all the nearby Dragon Beasts.

Now that a sneak attack is no longer possible, everyone had to change their initial plan, from squatting to hunt to chasing to hunt.

"It's time to accelerate."

The Fairy King said this to her sisters, and then she directly reached out to pick up Audrey beside her, placed this furry little junior sister in front of her "Light Chaser" broom, and then hugged the little fox with both arms and tightened her grip on the broom handle.

"Audrey, I'll trouble you to be my eyes and nose, let's chase."

The next moment, the "Magic Gate" reached its limit, and the broom tail of the Light Chaser, which looked like a jet nozzle, suddenly sprayed a powerful stream of magic, and then it turned into true light.

"Wuhu, this is the feeling, this is satisfying."

Only the Fairy King's happy laughter remained on the spot.

"Wait for me, sister."

As a member of the speedster tribe, Alice naturally immediately went full throttle and also turned into a red light.

Sophie Sophie Liya, Mia, and Madeline, who were on the spot, looked at each other helplessly, and had no choice but to turn into streams of light to follow.

It's just that facts proved that the high price of the Light Chaser wasn't set casually; this thing is indeed fast.

By the time the sisters finally caught up with the Home Witch, they found that Dorothy seemed to be performing a kind of performance art.

Hmm, she was standing straight, then stepping on the bowstring of the Shooting Hundred Heads, and her hands were forcefully prying open the bow handle.

She seemed to be preparing to shoot herself out as an arrow.

Everyone: "???"

No, is this how the bow is used? Is this the "artillery magic" you were talking about?

Even Long Ma and Mavis, the two well-informed adults, had their brains crash when they saw this scene.

However, before they could ask, the bow had already released the string.

Dorothy was shot...
