Chapter 3060: A Changing Era

Iluna, who left the church on the grounds that "something in the forest is calling me," squinted her eyes and looked at the witches, and then said to the little princess and the elves:

"Actually, regardless of whether it is for men or women, being too tall cannot be considered an advantage. Humanoid creatures all have a standard golden height, and only around that height can it be considered... excellent."

Ajelina and Emilia nodded together. Among the three, the tallest was Iluna, but compared to the tall witches, she was still a bit insufficient, even Flora, who was the shortest, was a head taller than her.

"However, Emilia, it's a pity that you couldn't keep the state of growing taller."

The little princess felt sorry for her friend, and the elf girl with pointed ears was also very regretful:

"Yeah, although I can control myself to grow up now, it can't be considered a normal state."

"Then Emilia, how far is the future for you? Normally, how long will it take for you to grow to that body shape?"

Iluna asked curiously while holding a wine glass, and Emilia thought for a while:

"In general, it will take about forty or fifty years. Although my age now can be considered an adult, unlike humans, elves have a very long growth period after adulthood.

And after returning home today, the adults said that my bloodline can be considered an ancient golden elf. Their lifespan is longer, and the growth period is also longer... It will probably take me a very, very, very long time to truly grow up. Of course, it is more likely that my age has completely stopped because of the World Tree. If the tree doesn't die, it will probably be very difficult for me to continue growing."

Iluna expressed regret at this. Ajelina originally wanted to comfort her a few words, but suddenly realized one thing—

"Although Emilia is like this now, she is definitely able to grow into a very beautiful appearance in the future. But last time I let her help me see what I will look like in the future, she said I..."

So there was one more girl who was unhappy among the three.

Sister Daifulin did not come to participate in the banquet, but Xia De went to visit her with Miss Danister before the banquet. Grace and Helen liked such banquets very much, but most of the girls were a bit afraid of them, but they chatted very well with Miss Ilesser.

Xia De was asked to speak a few words before the banquet. Although words like "unity," "victory," and "new challenges" were very boring, he knew this was necessary.

Therefore, without a draft, he gave an impromptu speech for about ten minutes, and was later evaluated by Miss Jia Lin Na as "I have always thought you have the talent of an orator."

And taking advantage of the fact that all eight Great Witches were present, Grandma Cassandra gathered everyone together shortly after the banquet started. She said she had some things to discuss with everyone, and even required all witch apprentices to participate.

Participants in the banquet included not only the Great Witches but also their followers. Seeing that their respective masters had gathered in the lounge area, they consciously stayed away from this area.

Xia De was also invited to participate in this conversation. After all eight Great Witches and six witch apprentices—Tifa, Miss Swift, Miss Little Aphrolia, Margaret, Miss Bell, and Matilda—were all present, Grandma Cassandra, who was sitting in the middle of the long sofa, said:

"I have been considering one thing since last year. After this Battle of the Vesta Woodlands, this matter should be brought up to you—I am considering resigning from the seat of Great Witch and letting Rita inherit it."

Everyone was shocked, and Miss Swift, who was standing behind the sofa, was even more surprised:

"Teacher, why do you say that?"

The old witch shook her head to tell her not to speak, and signaled others not to interrupt:

"I am the oldest among you. In a normal peaceful era, I can sit in this seat to provide help and suggestions for you young girls, and can also assist the Speaker to handle things.

But now it can be considered a war era, whether for ordinary people or transcendents, and my physical strength and energy are no longer enough to support me in better assuming the responsibilities given by this seat."

She paused slightly, and the action of frowning made the wrinkles on her face even more obvious:

"In this Battle of the Vesta Woodlands, I really felt that I was indeed old. I originally wanted to wait a few more years to let Rita grow for some time before proposing it to the Speaker, but now it seems I can't wait any longer.

Rita just advanced to the Sixth Ring this summer, which is considered an average level among the witch apprentices of this generation. The power infused by the ritual of becoming a Great Witch should be able to let her reach the Ninth Tier directly. By then, you will need to take care of her.

However, the battlefield always makes people grow, and I believe in my apprentice, and I also believe in you."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Xiwei spoke:

"Grandma, we all believe in Miss Swift's excellence, but now is not the time for you to 'retire.' Great Witches don't necessarily have to go to the battlefield. With the expansion of the war, logistics also need people to suppress the formation. We can't always have Miss Ilesser's help every time."

Megan also expressed agreement:

"Grandma, Audrey and I have organized the changes in the seats of the Witch Council since the Sixth Era. The last time a seat inheritance was carried out not because the previous Great Witch died, was severely injured and difficult to heal, or had a significant decline in spell-casting ability was around the year 1200 of the General Calendar.

The current era only allows Great Witches to exist, and does not allow other witches to appear. If you give up your position, it is equivalent to giving up your power and witch identity. Although I don't want to say this, if you do this, you probably won't live for a few years. Even if we agree, the Speaker will not agree."

Saying this, she gave Xia De a wink, signaling Xia De to help persuade her, so Xia De said:

"Grandma, an organization cannot be without someone with enough seniority like you. The witches of this generation are still very young for various reasons..."

The witches were very pleased with this sentence.

"So it is even more necessary for you to exist, so that they in the council will not go on the wrong path. The experience and wisdom of the elderly are always useful to an organization. Although it is true that Miss Swift becoming a member can add fresh blood to the council, in my opinion, the current members are 'fresh' enough."

He looked at Silvia again:

"I think one such young girl in the council is enough, and there is no need for younger girls for the time being."

The young black-haired Great Witch raised her eyebrows at Xia De, but it was true that only her age was smaller than the age the Outsider thought he was, which was also the point she felt had the most advantage.

After Xia De finished speaking, he did not forget to cast an apologetic look at Miss Swift, who shook her head to indicate it didn't matter.

"Teacher, I am not qualified to inherit your position yet, and I am far from obtaining that identity."

She also said this after Xia De finished speaking:

"Please wait at least until I become a High Ring warlock before considering this matter. You love me so much, please continue to help me move forward."

The unanimous opposition of everyone also made the old witch helpless. If this matter wanted to be passed in the council, in addition to the Speaker's consent, it also needed at least half of the votes when everyone voted.

Since there were already seven opposing votes, she didn't need to mention it in the council again.

Grandma Cassandra could also see that her topic made everyone feel bad, so after determining that she couldn't get any support, she let everyone continue to enjoy the banquet, and she would carefully consider this matter later.

While speaking, she stood up and walked toward the long table where food was placed, and Miss Swift followed closely. Others had to stand up. Beiya, who was sitting beside Xia De, poked Xia De:

"Look, in the changing era, everyone is seeking change."

"The diviner is saying words that everyone can't understand again."

Flora beside her said with a smile, and the Countess didn't care:

"This great battle will change many things in the future. Although no one can say clearly what this means now, this must be a major turning point in the history of the Sixth Era."

When Xia De came to Emilia's side, Luweiya was already chatting with the little elf.

Luweiya wore a dark blue silk velvet evening dress tonight, with delicate gold embroidery on the cuffs and skirt, a high collar with pearl inlay, and a silk belt at the waist, outlining an elegant curve.

Xia De had never seen this dress of Luweiya, but it did look very good. It was just that Emilia felt very restrained in front of such a beautiful Luweiya. When Xia De walked to their side, the little elf breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, although she didn't know why she was afraid of Luweiya.

"What are you talking about?"

Xia De asked while holding a red wine glass, and Luweiya teased Emilia:

"Don't look at Xia De holding red wine now. When Duoluoxi and I first met him, he only drank grape juice when attending banquets."

Only after finishing did she answer Xia De's question:

"Emilia has also become a Chosen One now, and I am explaining to her about the Chosen One. Although the professors at St. Byrons will also tell her these things, this is our tradition, and..."

The purple-eyed girl raised her eyebrows at Xia De and said in front of Emilia:

"And I want to ensure that this Chosen One is still on our side."

Luweiya indeed talked to the Chosen Ones personally every time. After the Battle of Moon Bay in the summer, she even went to Spider Alley to see Mr. Albert personally.

"I am on Xia De's side; I listen to whatever he says."

The blonde elf raised her hand immediately, as if she was answering a question raised by a teacher in class.

Luweiya couldn't help but shake her head:

"You saying this will make it seem like we are actually a villain group. But it's still very good that you can have this idea. Emilia, when you were lying on Xia De's lap on the throne early this morning, I knew you were a very reliable girl."

Emilia's face turned red, and she didn't know if it was because she was praised or because that incident was brought up again. ===== CHAPTER 3061 =====
