Chapter 976: The Stillborn Future Disaster
Actually, Dorothy didn't discover this talent; it was Sister Senior Fan Ni on her head. The Home Witch was already prepared to leave, but the sister suddenly tugged at her hair.
"Qian Bao, did you see the corner of that cage over there? I always feel that the alien crouching in the corner is a bit different."
The hat sister said this in Dorothy's ear.
To this, the Home Witch also narrowed her eyes. She followed the sister's reminder and looked at a massive cage not far away.
It was a quite dirty and messy cage, and the alien races locked inside were also a group of dirty and messy ones. According to human aesthetics, their appearance was even uglier, one by one simply looking like enlarged versions of anthropomorphic insects.
To be honest, this kind of "exiled talent" was the lowest grade and very difficult to "be adopted." There was no way, witches were mostly somewhat picky about looks. The more they conformed to human aesthetics, the better-looking the "exiled talents" were, the more popular they were—cough cough, the easier it was for them to be redeemed.
Such as the Elf race or the Moon Rabbit race, Mermaid race, etc.
But insects...
Human girls mostly feared insects. Although witches were evolved humans, most witches still inherited a part of the characteristics of human females, among which was the fear of insects.
Well, actually, it couldn't be said to be fear. After all, after they were forced, a round of magic bombardment would leave nothing of any insect. Witches just had a physiological disgust for creatures with insect-like shapes.
Of course, this was only the case for most witches, not all. There were always exceptions when there were many people. Some witches not only didn't hate insects but might be insect-lovers.
Because of this, these "insect-people" in the cage were not directly destroyed but became so-called exiled talents, specially brought to this market. The shop owner might just want to try her luck to see if she could encounter a few heavy-taste customers. In that case, she could still make a small profit under the scarcity.
But clearly, the shop owner's luck was not very good. From the terrible environment inside the cage, it was obvious that this batch of "exiled talents" had been stranded for quite a long time.
Dorothy actually didn't hate insects, although she couldn't be said to like them much either. She just felt that a few types of insects were quite handsome, such as horned beetles, mantises, spiders, etc.
And she narrowed her eyes and looked at these insect-people, but she didn't find anything worth special attention.
To be honest, the quality of this group of insect-people was really quite average. They were not a powerful race, and their physical fitness was considered relatively excellent among the bronze species, but their magic ability seemed to be not very good. The mana in these insect-people was not strong, clearly not a race good at using magic.
Therefore, comprehensive evaluation, they were just ordinary upper-middle-level bronze species. Judging the world strength from the race, if these insect-people were the dominant race in their hometown, their hometown world was estimated to be just a stronger small world.
In short, from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, this group of insect-people had no competitiveness at all. It was really except for fanatical insect lovers, other witches would not be willing to take over such a group of ugly and non-strong-beauty servants.
However, when Dorothy followed Sister Senior Fan Ni's reminder and looked at the slender figure crouching with her arms around her knees in the corner of that massive cage, she was stunned.
Judging from the figure, this female insect-person was probably female. Because her head was buried in her arms, she couldn't see her appearance, but judging from the "horrifying" looks of her insect-person compatriots around her, it was better not to be too curious about this. Looks had nothing to do with this group of insect-people; they were all people who could act in horror movies without makeup.
However, it must be said that if one ignores the many insect-like traits on this female insectoid, such as the carapace, bone spurs, and tentacles, her figure is actually quite good—a standard, curvaceous, and alluring physique.
Although Dorothy found it hard to understand why this group of insect-people still needed protruding fronts, did these insect-people also belong to mammals, so they needed lactation organs?
Well, forget it, this is not biology class time. There are many strange alien races in the Western Universe. And who stipulated that hanging two water bags in front of the chest must be a mammal? Some particularly strange races have energy storage organs, attack organs, or even excretion organs hanging in front of their chests.
Biological bodies, very magical, right?
Anyway, according to idealism, most intelligent creatures in the Western Universe have a certain degree of "humanoid." This is simply because the Creator looks like this, and the creation always yearns for the Creator, and will naturally imitate and approach its form.
This can also be considered a kind of convergent evolution.
In short, what this female insect-person looks like is not important, what is important is...
"Eh, Sister, I didn't see anything."
Dorothy scratched the hat on her head and said this awkwardly.
Mm, she really didn't see the special features of this female insect-person. No matter how she looked at it, this female insect-person was considered an existence with insufficient development among the insect-people, and both physical fitness and mana strength were far inferior to those compatriots around her.
But the fact that the Home Witch couldn't see the problem was the problem itself, and this anomaly directly alarmed her intuition, making her intuition jump wildly, seemingly in a hurry to tell Dorothy something.
And so, in the Home Witch's mind, movie plots she had seen in her previous life, such as insect disasters, insect wars, aliens, etc., instantly emerged.
Actually, there was no need for intuition to remind her. As an otaku whose imagination was already rich, Dorothy had already had such developments in her mind when she turned her head and saw such a group of insect-people after getting the sister's reminder.
It was just that she couldn't believe that she could encounter a potential disaster seed just by strolling around like this. This couldn't be someone arranging her again, right?
But now that intuition had moved, Dorothy could only believe it even if she didn't want to.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot that you are a fate idiot, Qian Bao. You can ask your little housekeeper what she can see."
And hearing Dorothy's words, Sister Senior Fan Ni was silent for a while, and then said this.
Dorothy: "..."
Damn, although the sister said reality, she always felt that she had been looked down upon.
And so, the angry and shivering Home Witch pulled the corner of Sophie Liya's clothes beside her while turning her head, and transmitted sound to ask her to help look, while not being convinced and wanting to look for herself.
Mm, who said she was a fate idiot? Her prophecy magic is 100% accurate, okay? It's just that it's so awesome that even she herself is afraid of it.
And so, at the moment, she took a gold coin out of her pocket and flicked it with her finger.
Witch's coin game, start.
She didn't believe it, could it really be such a coincidence?
Although she regretted it a little after the impulse, after all, her divination was really weird, and she was about to head to the battlefield now. Don't let her see any pictures she didn't want to see like last time.
"Reverse, reverse."
Unfortunately, the magic had already been activated, and prophecy magic could not be stopped casually once activated, otherwise it would easily suffer from fate backlash and would be unlucky for a period of time. So Dorothy could only pray that her divination failed.
But that gold coin was clearly good at reverse-milking. And so, when the gold coin fell, Dorothy fell into deep thought as she looked at the heroic image of the good sister wearing battle armor and holding the Holy Fire Sword.
"Dinesha, you really don't have to favor me so much."
She silently complained in her heart, and then resignedly closed her eyes.
And even though she closed her eyes, pictures still emerged before her eyes.
She saw endless insect swarms sweeping across the entire Western Universe, she saw...
She saw billions of insect armies collectively working on construction sites to become civil engineering insects, saw wonder buildings rising from the ground at an incredible speed, saw the enchanting queen with a beautiful appearance holding a construction drawing and waving her hand in the center of the insect swarm construction team, and naturally saw this insect queen who was beautiful to the point of being dreamy looking at a familiar figure wearing a safety helmet in front with longing and devotion...
Damn, how could this not be familiar?
"That is clearly me, okay."
The Home Witch roared in her heart and opened her eyes.
Bad news, she really encountered a future insect queen.
Good news, there was no insect disaster symbolizing destruction and despair, only an insect construction team representing progress and construction.
"Damn, how come I looked at myself from a third-party perspective with great difficulty, and I feel that my painting style is so harmonious?"
Dorothy couldn't help but complain about herself.
And at this time, the Pure White Witch beside her also just happened to withdraw her gaze from the female insect-person.
"Eldest Young Lady, I originally saw countless futures on this insect-person, most of which were bad fates symbolizing destruction and slaughter. This guy's future life was destined to be full of tragedy, but suddenly all fates collapsed, leaving only one fate that looked a bit strange, but generally could be considered a good ending. Do you have anything to say about this?"
Sophie Liya blinked and asked this expressionlessly.
Mm, her fate magic eyes could observe the fate of all living things, and could even determine fate as she wished, guiding the other party's fate from an uncertain future to a predetermined fate.
But even so, with her current strength, she was far from being able to directly determine fate so domineeringly and strongly.
Mm, don't doubt it, this insect-person girl was just directly determined. Her life, which should have been full of endless suffering and finally blackened and embarked on the road of destroying the world, was just kicked to another road by someone as soon as she left the novice village, although it was a bit harmonious, it was definitely a happy road.
So the question is, who has such great ability to determine fate?
It's really hard to guess, oh. After all, there are three people who have this ability, right?
But first, you can directly exclude the two mothers of the family.
So...
Stare.
Dorothy: "..."
The Home Witch, who was stared at with a guilty conscience, bent down and bowed directly.
"I'm very sorry."
The Yingzhou Island Lord used the second Japanese stunt.
However, she actually felt glad about her impulse just now after hearing Sophie Liya's words. She could be considered to have inadvertently saved countless worlds, right? This really made me awesome.
However, compared to the concept of saving the world which was a bit exaggerated, the Home Witch was more certain that she seemed to have inadvertently saved the tragic life of this poor insect-person girl.
This was really great.
Dorothy thought with relief in her heart.
Although she didn't have the ability to save everyone in this so-called talent market, it was good that her power could help others well, even if it was just one person.
She was already very content.
And just as she turned around and prepared to go to the shop owner to "adopt" this cage of "exiled talents," someone beside her had already stepped forward faster than her.
"Boss, we want these insect-people."
Sister Miya said to the shop owner who was almost ready to close the stall.
Mm, it wasn't a day or two since she had been with her sweetheart. Long before Dorothy stopped and turned to look at the cage of insect-people, the Golden Princess had already thought of the subsequent bargaining and purchasing plan, and now she was just implementing it.
She would contract everything that her little Yaojing liked.
And so, amidst Dorothy's dumbfoundedness, Sister Miya used her superb bargaining and negotiation skills to use the persuasion skill on the shop owner who was already prepared to lose money.
The skill effect was outstanding.
This entire cage of a full hundred various insect-people was sold to the insect-lover Dorothy at a jumping price.
To be precise, only the iron cage money was spent, and these unsalable insect-people were all gifts.
Dorothy: "..."
Sisters, I went out to buy an iron cage today and was given a disaster seed as a gift. Disasters are really worthless these days.
However, since the insect-people had been taken down, the group didn't stay any longer. They directly carried the cage and went straight back to the fleet.
"Sister, why did you buy so many insect-people? They are so ugly. Oh, okay, a few are still quite handsome."
After returning to Nephthys, Alice, who had been holding back questions all the way, finally opened her mouth and asked.
And on the side, Audrey was unexpectedly bold. She was curiously lying on the edge of the cage looking at these strange insect-people.
The little fox's social anxiety goal seemed to be limited to witches. Once she changed to other races, she immediately became super brave.
"Where is it ugly? These insect-people are clearly quite beautiful. Every life is a miracle of evolution. Their carapaces, barbs, tentacles, and elytra are clearly full of the beauty of life, okay."
She whispered like this.
Mm, this is what happens when you study art. This aesthetic is indeed different.
Madeline was nervously looking at her sister on the side, fearing that her sister would be hurt by the insect-people in the cage.
As for the newcomers Wendy and Mordred, they also looked at the Home Witch curiously. Both were very puzzled why the Eldest Young Lady wanted to buy this group of weak insect-people.
And to this, Dorothy directly waved her hand and opened the iron cage, then walked in.
"Hehehe, little insects, let sister check your body quickly."
She rubbed her hands and said this with some expectation.
Witch physical examination in progress...
For the swarm, we build, swarm heavy industry, trustworthy. ===== CHAPTER 977 =====
