Not a Witch

...

"It's a pity that there are only three of the five of us now, and my mother also passed away in the sweeping deep sea."

...

"Have you changed your name now, or is this your real name, Dorothy?"

...

"Interesting name, reminds me of the peaches Luan planted on the mountain before. I have always liked the crisp taste."

...

"Then, see you in the next hundred years, Yu."

After finishing speaking, the white girl lightly waved the paper umbrella in her hand, and her figure dissipated under the giant tree like drizzle.

"Goodbye, Hu." Lorraine Hill seemed to hear himself answering this way.

--------

Waking up again like a long dream, Lorraine Hill saw that he was in a familiar but unfamiliar stargazing room at this moment.

She looked out of the window, and the familiar campus and facilities of Emenas were almost the same as those of later generations.

She walked to a mirror and looked at herself. At this time, Dorothy was basically dressed as described later, wearing a black dress and a big hat on her head.

Looking back on these fragments of time, Lorraine Hill now knows how Dorothy grew up.

After the Red Empire was destroyed, she was brought to the Eastern Continent by Selene and raised by the wise Phoenix Witch.Along with her, there were four other children raised by that witch.

According to the ancient legends of the Eastern Continent, these five children were also the origin of the Kingdom of the Five Phoenixes.

Among them, Dorothy is the phoenix with yellow feathers, 鹓鶵, and Suqin is the phoenix with red feathers.

In addition, there are the black-feathered phoenix, the phoenix, the blue-feathered phoenix, Luan, and the white-feathered phoenix seen by Dorothy in the last scene, the swan.

Based on the combination of the last dialogue and history, the witch of Phoenix should have disappeared in the chaos and disaster at the beginning of the third era, and Mian and Luan also died one after another. ), and the white girl (hu) survived.

And now that Dorothy is gone, perhaps only Feng and Hu are still alive.

Lorraine Hill was writing and drawing on the desk in the stargazing room, sorting out the scenes seen from Dorothy's memory, and only then did he discover other things on the table.

Denied: Reinstatement Request Regarding Twilight Age Mysteries

This seems to be a certain document decided internally by the Sage Society, Lorraine Hill picked it up curiously and looked through it.

----

Despite the guarantees of 4 witches and sages, the above request was still rejected after careful consideration by other members of the Sages Association.There are indeed some parts worth learning in the skills of the Twilight Age, but various signs in the dust show that the ancient intelligent races destroyed themselves precisely because of their secret skills.

In the presence of today's weak intelligent life, we are not yet able to discern the dangers among them. If it spreads rashly, it will only lead to the next chaotic disaster.

So far, the application has been rejected, and please do not re-apply for related issues within ten years.

----

Looking at the bottom of the page, there seemed to be words such as stupid, conservative, retro, ignorant, and unbearable restraint written there.It seems that Dorothy wrote it in a bad mood at the time.

For this reason, Lorraine Hill had no choice but to shake his head, and at this moment the door of the stargazing room suddenly opened.

Four familiar and unfamiliar women walked in. They seemed to be familiar good friends, and one of them was Tides, who was familiar to Lorraine Hill.

"Is Dorothy still hiding here and sulking? In my opinion, it's better to eat something delicious. I recently cultivated a delicious scallop. You should like it." A woman with glasses walked away. When she came over, she still had a book in her hand, as if she had just finished teaching.

"I'm not a starfish, so I don't like shellfish." This seemed to be Dorothy's answer at the time.

"Ahaha, that's right. But you weren't a dragon before, didn't you play in the sea?"

"Edwina, how many times do I have to say, although I used to practice the sequence of dragons, the change is not a dragon, but a phoenix, an immortal bird that soars through the world." Dorothy's confident voice came from her own. When it came out of his mouth, Lorraine Hill felt a strange and embarrassed feeling.

"Hehe, I just said that Nana was joking about this, and Dorothy will definitely refute it." Another woman in a white dress with gold rims covered her mouth with a smile, and let out a laugh like a wind chime.

"Dorothy, do you want to vent your anger on this little sister Suqin? I'll catch her for you." Tidess also coaxed from the side, she seemed to be divided into two, and two identical Tidess stood in gold-rimmed clothes on a white background. next to the woman and grabbed her by both arms.

"Well, it's wrong, sister Yan." Suqin begged for mercy, and Dorothy was pinching her cheeks and pulling her cheeks to the sides.

Beside them, a woman in a purple dress was also watching quietly, with a slight smile in her eyes.This quiet girl is Agatha.

The five witches were frolicking in the stargazing room, not at all mysterious and powerful as depicted by the outside world, just like ordinary girls.For a while, the stargazing room was full of laughter, and then several people went to the tower hand in hand, ready to go to have dinner together.

------

The surrounding scene changed again, but this time it seemed to be somewhere underground.

Surrounded by industrialized building structures, several beams of light illuminate the dome, illuminating the warship lying quietly in the dock below.

On this battleship being assembled, the floating instruments shuttled back and forth under the control of the mages, each component was precisely placed and welded to the hull, and then checked and polished repeatedly, striving to make every module perfect .

Although this battleship is still under construction, the smooth and matte material makes it look very powerful, and the many complicated patterns light up slightly, showing its excellence and advanced craftsmanship.

At this time, a young mage stepped forward, wearing a gear badge on his chest.

First of all, he bent down and saluted, and then the outstanding young man asked.

"Your Majesty Dorothy. I beg you to ask a few questions."

.....

"Although the current air and space battleships are about to be built, I still don't understand why we don't build more ordinary warships that can be mass-produced, so that we can form a greater combat power when facing the Verdant Kingdom in the north. conducive to popularization."

...

"Aren't you saying that these battleships were not built to deal with the Green Kingdom in the north? Then how can there be such a powerful enemy?" The talented young man was puzzled.

...

"Ah, does it mean that we are finally going to fight against such existence in the galaxy?"

...

"Is such a terrifying number of chaotic phantoms hovering around the galaxy? As long as we leave this star system, will the outside world be a sea of ​​hell?"

...

"Why don't you disclose this secret, so that we can gain more understanding."

...

"Don't believe and don't want to believe?"

...

"I see, Your Highness. I will definitely realize this great dream of revival. Even if I can't achieve it, I will pass it on and let generations of people keep getting closer."

"Until a route is opened in the darkness to the courtyard of the past, until the end of the world, until the brilliance of mankind illuminates this muddy galaxy again."

His expression is extremely firm, and his voice is sonorous and powerful.

Chapter 190 The truth behind the door

When Lorraine Hill opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting in a room in a tall tower.

The dim light shone on the table, and it was already late at night outside the window, and there was silence.

There was no one else in the room but herself.

After waiting for a while, when nothing happened, Lorraine Hill turned his attention to the desk in front of him.

A thick book in a copper case was quietly placed there, and its corners were worn and shiny, as if it had been used for a long time.

She opened the book and slowly flipped through it.

Most of them are complicated formulas, calculation processes, some design sketches, inspirations, etc., until the last part, there are some diary-like records.

----

I suddenly felt a kind of tiredness. It turned out that even I was tired and powerless at times.

The domestic affairs of Oz, great and small, have never ceased, more than I imagined.

It's time to delegate some power, as Edwina said, everything has to be balanced.

But these are just a little troublesome little things. What makes me more tired is the despair in the endless search.

......

When I was very young, I briefly met Trinasha, the butterfly witch who also has the name of time.

For some reason, it was a short, ordinary meeting that lasted less than half a day, but the scene of that day has always been remembered in my mind.

At that time, I was taken by Sister Selene, and I ran into her.At that time she also had a little girl with her, Hattis.

"Are you Dorothy?" Those eyes looked at me, not as if I were a child who didn't know anything.

...

"Do you want to pursue knowledge and truth? But that's not necessarily the path to happiness." At that time, the Butterfly Witch led Hades and me to walk among the flowers in the woods.

"The more you touch and know, the more empty and ugly you'll find."

"As a result, I become more suspicious of past insights and opinions, and finally remain skeptical of everything, thus rejecting and disbelieving in any good things. Because that deviates from interests and reason."

"But, even so, after seeing so many misfortunes and ugliness, I still miss and appreciate that little bit of irrational warmth."

"At least their presence gives me a sense of peace of mind."

.....

These were all the words I heard during my short time with the Butterfly Witch.

Just a few words, I didn't care about it, because the exploration of knowledge is so wonderful, and the improvement of strength is so happy, I can do whatever I want at will.

All the years before now, I think so.

However, it was not until recently that I gradually came into contact with my ceiling and limits, and realized my powerlessness and insignificance.

Although the country of Oz became stronger day by day, as its population reached tens of millions, I could no longer grasp every aspect of it.This feeling of gradually losing control is really uncomfortable.

And there are many unfavorable news about the exploration of the galaxy universe.

The Ivar galaxy is located at the end of the spiral arm of the Milky Way, and there are very few star systems around it, and they are all far apart. If we want to open up more suitable planets in the future, we have to go to the center of the spiral arm.

But the situation on the other side of the spiral arm... (Lorraine Hill looked at this and Dorothy seemed to have paused for a long time, falling to several deep origins.)

The ancients were really great and crazy.
