Chapter 955

The faded world was repainted with color, the originally solidified time flowed again, and the statue-like dragon pack became vivid again.

The dragon packs didn't realize what had just happened. Their emotions and consciousness were still stuck in the previous attack, so many Cockatrices subconsciously wanted to continue to act.

But a familiar snake roar made the dragon pack gradually quiet down.

This was the leader's voice.

Although the dragon pack was a bit puzzled as to why the leader wanted them to stop, the leader's prestige over the years still made them choose to obey unconditionally, so the restless dragon pack gradually quieted down.

And seeing this, Dorothy also breathed a sigh of relief. She reached into her pocket, then took out a piece of True Dragon meat and threw it to the snake head in her hand.

"Is this considered compensation for you before?"

She said so.

The Home Witch gave it easily, but the snake head was very excited. After all, for a sub-dragon like her, even a few drops of True Dragon blood were an incredible reward, which could further increase the concentration of her dragon blood. And the increase in dragon blood concentration could also allow her strength to evolve. Of course, the most important point was that her lifespan, which was originally coming to an end, was extended again.

Not to mention that this was a large piece of dragon meat. As long as she swallowed this dragon meat, not to mention anything else, at least her lifespan could be increased by several hundred years.

Of course, dragon meat could only have such a good effect on these dragon beasts or sub-dragons. For other races or other True Dragons, it was just a great supplement.

In short, she really couldn't refuse such compensation, so she didn't pretend to be hypocritically polite. The snake body stretched out its head, opened its mouth, and swallowed the piece of dragon meat. And as this dragon meat went down, powerful magic power erupted from her body, and the dragon species' powerful self-healing ability also began to accelerate. Her chicken body, which had been shot and exploded by an arrow, was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, the Cockatrice sub-dragon had recovered completely again. The newly grown chicken body, which was actually considered a tail, was very robust, and the hair color was smooth, the feathers were shiny, and it was very beautiful.

And she, who originally carried the twilight of old age, was now radiating vitality again. This couldn't be considered rejuvenation, but at least it was a change from old age to middle age.

Regarding this, the sub-dragon was very excited, but she didn't forget herself, and she didn't even dare to look down at this beautiful incarnation of a god in front of her. She shook her dragon body, and then her body size gradually shrank in the radiance of magic power, and she transformed from a dragon body into a human form.

Although she was a sub-dragon, she—well, now it should be she—was different from dragon beasts. She had considerable spellcasting ability, and transforming into a human form wasn't too difficult.

She didn't transform before just because it wasn't necessary, but now she felt that it was more suitable for her to transform into a human form to communicate with this beautiful and great god.

"My lord, thank you for your gift."

A beautiful middle-aged woman, who looked about thirty or forty years old, with a pair of beautiful golden-orange snake eyes and a gorgeous colorful feather magic robe, although there were some fine wrinkles on her face, she still looked charming. She bent her plump body and thanked her sincerely like this.

"This was originally compensation for you, not any gift. We are just trading fairly, no need to thank me."

Dorothy said with a straight face.

And at this time, the sisters in the distance noticed the strangeness here and also rushed over one after another.

"Sister, why did you stop?"

Alice asked with some confusion.

The little witch felt a bit regretful about this; after all, she didn't see her favorite combat fun segment.

It wasn't just Alice who was confused; Senior Miya, Madeline, and Audrey also looked at her with some confusion.

Mavis, who was beside Long Ma, frowned even more, seemingly disapproving of her soft-hearted approach.

Only the master-apprentice pair of Yu Fei Liya and Sophie Liya looked at each other and both showed an "as expected" expression.

They were the two people who understood Dorothy the best. They didn't feel surprised at all about her decision. Rather, if the Home Witch had really taken action decisively, the two of them would have been surprised instead.

Of course, there was still a difference in what the master and apprentice were thinking in their hearts.

"Tsk, that guy Adam really spoiled my daughter."

Long Ma thought with some dislike in her heart.

In her view, her daughter was indeed a bit soft-hearted, but kindness was the privilege of the strong. Since her daughter could control the scene, this wasn't a shortcoming, but a strength.

"The Young Lady really hasn't changed at all."

Sophie Liya thought with some envy.

Although she and the Young Lady had only known each other for less than a year, quite a few things had happened in this short period of time.

The Pure White Witch could clearly feel that she had changed quite a bit from the self before she knew the Young Lady.

You can call these changes growth, or you can count them as a kind of benign wear and tear.

But the Young Lady seemed to have remained the same throughout.

She was still that person without any great ambitions, always wanting to live a peaceful life. She was also still so kind, unwilling to hurt others for profit. It was naive to the point of being funny, and stubborn to the point of being hypocritical.

Hmm, if this were back when the two first met, Sophie Liya would definitely have secretly mocked the Young Lady's hypocrisy and naivety in her heart, thinking that she was just an ignorant giant baby who didn't understand anything and lived in a dream, not knowing the cruelty of the outside world at all.

But now, looking at the Young Lady who still hadn't changed, she only felt at ease in her heart.

It's really great that the Young Lady is still like this and hasn't changed.

The Pure White Witch thought this in her heart, and the corners of her mouth also curled up slightly, with a relieved smile in her beautiful golden divine pupils.

Of course, she would absolutely not admit it in words, so...

"Young Lady, you are spreading your boring sympathy again. You can be proud this time, but you can't have such leeway forever."

Sophie Liya said with great dislike.

This was being stubborn, but it was actually also a sincere admonition as a subject and a sister.

She was truly worried that if they left the Witch World in the future and went to the outside battlefield, and encountered a powerful enemy, and the Young Lady was unable to control the overall situation, she shouldn't let her Dao heart collapse.

"Hehe... If I can't hold on by myself, don't I still have you? You are my reliable good sister."

Dorothy naturally wouldn't care about the sharp tongue of her housekeeper, and she said with a grin.

And such a direct ball made Sophie Liya, who originally wanted to be more poisonous, directly crash.

The Angel Witch's pure white, snow-like exquisite face had a few more beautiful blood colors. She, who had always been calm in front of hundreds of millions of people in the Student Council, was actually a bit unable to handle it at this time.

However, although Sophie Liya was often saying one thing and meaning another, she wasn't the kind of tsundere loser who would rather die than lose face. She was never cowardly when she should be brave.

Therefore, she didn't continue to be stubborn and say famous tsundere quotes like "I don't care about you, who wants to wipe your butt."

She just sighed, with a troubled expression of being exhausted by such a willful master, and then nodded.

"Who told you to be my only Young Lady? Taking care of you is my duty."

Hmm, she didn't even continue to bring out the classic shield of "it's just the teacher's task" like before.

And this also made Long Ma on the side show a joyful smile.

Hehehe... I said these two girls are very suitable. Hmph, now who dares to say that I am silly and don't understand love? Obviously, I have a very keen eye for people.

The Dragon Queen launched an emoticon triumphantly in her heart, and the tip of the tail behind her butt also quietly patted the ground.

It's really great.

"Sister, there's also me. I will also help you."

Alice spoke up with some jealousy.

The little witch's muscle brain couldn't understand such complicated things at all. She only knew that she just needed to listen to her sister.

She would become her sister's most reliable younger sister.

"And—and me, Senior Sister, I will also work hard."

Audrey could understand a little bit, but her experience as an autistic social phobic didn't support her to fully understand for the time being. However, she understood the truth of fully supporting her Senior Sister.

"Combat matters can be left to me."

Madeline was a person of few words, and she just stated this.

Finally, it was Senior Miya. The Golden Princess spread her hands directly.

"Little fairy, you know me. I've bet all my family fortune on you now. If you're finished, I'm finished too. There's no way back."

Then, a tentacle hung down from the top of Dorothy's head, pulling her hair.

"If the sky falls, I'll be the one holding it up first, okay?"

Senior Fan Ni said so.

Hmm, after all, she stayed on top of the Home Witch's head every day. If the sky really fell, it would indeed be her who was the highest.

Senior Sister's words made Dorothy unable to hold back, and she laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, it's really great."

She thought happily like this.

Hmm, as the time to head to the battlefield got closer and closer, the Home Witch had been smiling on the surface for the past two days, but in fact, she was still a bit nervous in her heart.

Especially since the development of the Mechanical Wasteland was no longer just her own business, it involved many forces. She was always worried that she would delay the sisters' interests because of her willfulness.

But now she had figured it out.

And what made her even happier was the almost unconditional absolute trust and support of the sisters around her.

Then what else is there to be afraid of?

Her pursuit all her life had just been to live a stable life with her family and friends.

Now that her family and friends were already very complete, the good days were still ahead, right?

At that moment, Dorothy, who was in a great mood, looked at the Cockatrice beautiful woman in front of her again.

"Uh, this lady, you..."

She thought that it might be too impolite to start studying people's eyes directly, so she prepared to politely ask for the other party's name first.

It was just that Mrs. Sub-dragon was someone who had lived for a long time, so how could she not be sensible?

Even if the Home Witch was alone before, she couldn't resist, not to mention that so many people had come now.

Those young ones could be ignored, but the two adult witches guarding the side were a bit too terrifying.

Just by looking at Long Ma and Mavis, and feeling the vast dragon might like a mountain and a sea on them, Mrs. Sub-dragon almost wanted to crawl on the ground directly and worship them.

After all, these two seemed to be terrifying existences at the level of Ancient Dragon Kings. Anyway, they also exceeded her imagination.

Such existences reaching out to crush their entire ethnic group wouldn't be any more difficult than crushing ants. They had no power to resist.

Of course, under the huge panic and anxiety, she was also more fortunate that she had met this young and beautiful incarnation of a god in front of her.

She knew that she was irrelevant in front of these dangerous strong people, and not even worth the other party looking at her straight. If it weren't for the kindness of this god like the sun, they would have already died.

"My lord, my name is Zhuo La. You don't need to care about us. Please go ahead and display your skills. I will do my best to cooperate with your research."

Mrs. Sub-dragon said very sincerely. She was truly afraid of annoying this kind and beautiful god again.

"Hmm, my name is Dorothy."

Dorothy naturally saw the nervousness of Mrs. Zhuo La in front of her, and she also understood the other party's mood at this time.

If possible, who would want to entrust their life and death to the kindness of others? This feeling that the fate of the entire ethnic group was in the hands of someone else's thought must be uncomfortable to think about.

However, she didn't comfort the other party much. After all, she knew very well that no matter how much she said now, she couldn't make the other party truly at ease. Saying is not as good as doing. The establishment of trust between the two sides requires time, and this cannot be rushed.

So she just said her name equally.

Sigh, in the end, weakness is indeed the original sin. Falling behind leads to being beaten, and weakness means one cannot control one's own destiny and cannot be free.

Dorothy, who had always been following fate, felt a thirst for power in her heart.

However, she didn't want power for the sake of conquest and aggression. She just thirsted for the ability to control her own destiny and the freedom to live the life she wanted to live.

Now that Mrs. Zhuo La was so willing to talk to her properly and agreed to her transaction, it wasn't really because she was moved by her sincerity. In the end, it was still because she yielded to her power.

Sigh, the Master said, conquer people with virtue.

This virtue can be morality, and it is also worthy of being a giant axe named Virtue.

Conquer people with the Axe of Virtue.

I study hard so that I can communicate with others calmly and equally.

I exercise hard so that others are also willing to sit down calmly and communicate with me equally.

Both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be hard.

Dorothy figured out her life principles for the future and also set the action policy for the Mechanical Wasteland later.

She would work hard to conquer the Nine Star World with virtue.

And after making such a decision in her heart, she didn't hesitate anymore. She directly reached out and pressed on Mrs. Zhuo La's slightly nervous beautiful face, and then extended her magic power to carefully check and study her body structure, trying to fully figure out the principle of the Cockatrice's Eyes of Fear.

To tell the truth, this was actually quite difficult. If it were an ordinary person, this topic would be enough for them to study for several years.

But the Home Witch's inspiration began to flash wildly, and she soon understood everything.

However, Mrs. Zhuo La was a sub-dragon. Next, she looked at a stronger Cockatrice dragon beast. This required a control group.

And that strong dragon beast was also a bit afraid at first, but under the leader's order, plus the Home Witch's smile that slightly released a tiny bit of the charm of the god's face, it immediately behaved itself.

Soon, the Home Witch also completed the analysis of this dragon beast.

Thus, she looked at Mrs. Sub-dragon again.

"Mrs. Zhuo La, do you still remember how you became a sub-dragon? Was there any chance encounter?"

She discovered that the Eyes of Fear of this sub-dragon and the dragon beast were indeed not on the same level. There was a qualitative gap between the two. This was no longer just a simple change in the strength of power, but a more underlying difference.

If she could figure out this difference, then killing dragons to take eyes didn't seem to be necessary anymore.
