Chapter 13-13-Expectation
Thousands of years?
This is impossible. Thousands of years ago, when civilization was just beginning, there were no such things as distorted creatures...
Yvette frowned slightly, but didn't dwell on the question any further: "...Why did you enter the Abyss?"
"I was forced in by the demons... The demons launched an invasion of the Eastern Continent, and I was separated from my family... While escaping, an aurora appeared in the sky, and then I saw the Residual Abyss and fled into it..."
Recalling the sad past, the girl's heart revealed genuine sadness, like a dandelion blown away by the wind.
And because it is extremely difficult to lie in the communication of the mind, after carefully reading her mental activities, Yvette was basically sure that she had not lied so far.
Demons... Eastern Continent... It seems the world across the way isn't just human...
The aberrations will run to the other side through the "residual abyss", but the history can be traced back thousands of years...
Is it because multiple planets were destroyed by the same apocalypse? So the aurora belt could connect to more than one apocalyptic world?
Or is it a different timeline? Can crossing the abyss allow one to travel through time?
Or maybe just the parallel universe theory?
Can I return to Earth through the "Remnant Abyss"?
Because there were so many possibilities behind this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought and stopped talking.
Meanwhile, seeing that the "Evil God" had stopped talking, the little golden-haired boy hesitated for a moment before suddenly kneeling down again, lowering his head and saying respectfully, "Um... Lord Evil God, I have a request!"
"I am not the evil god you are talking about, and this is not the final destination in your world's mythology."
And why did you interrupt my spell again... Yvette grabbed her arm and helped her up again, shaking her head and saying, "I'm just an ordinary... magician. My name is 'Yvette Roshivia', or you can call me a witch."
——The witch who never gets old or (starves) to death.
"Yes, My Lady Witch." The little golden retriever changed his words obediently.
Through her understanding of psychological activities, Yvette could feel that the little golden retriever did not believe her, but was more half-believing and half-doubting, so he did not dare to call her real name.
But that's enough, she thought, the little girl will be able to observe the results herself in the future.
"What did you want to ask for?"
"I..." The little golden-haired boy took a deep breath, "My Lady Witch, can you give me the power to fight against the demons?"
This tentative request had a delicate hook, and Yvette couldn't help but admire her cunning - the question was a request on the surface, but inwardly it was testing the attitude of the "evil god".
So she said directly: "I am not a god. I cannot give you strength, nor can I send you back."
"Okay..." Although the little golden retriever showed a lost expression, his emotions were actually quite stable. It was obvious that he had expected this.
Then she heard Yvette say, "But you can live here until the day the Aurora appears again. I can escort you into the Remnant Abyss."
"Really?" The little golden-haired girl showed a surprised expression. This time she really believed it. She believed that the beautiful sister with silver hair and red eyes in front of her was not an evil god, but might even be an angel.
How could there be such a gentle and patient evil god? He wasn't creepy at all, and he looked so good. He was completely different from those scary creatures in church picture books!
But honestly, as long as they don't betray humanity or their homeland, even if they do surrender to the evil god, it doesn't seem unacceptable. It's better than death...
"Whether it's true or not, you'll find out in the future," Yvette said softly. "Now, you can tell me your name."
"My name is 'Rosaline', Witch-sama." This time, the smile on the little golden retriever's face finally had a little more sincerity. She earnestly stated her full name, "Rosaline Sheen!"
…
After gaining initial communication and trust with Rosaline, in the following days, with the help of the "language of the heart", Yvette began to learn the new language of the other world - "Glow Language".
According to Rosaline, this is the common language promoted by the "Pan-Human United Front" formed by the human race of the East Continent to fight against the demon race of the West Continent. It can be used basically everywhere.
"You mean, in the Glowing Continent, the most powerful race is the elves?" Three months later, sitting on a stone bench by the lake in the manor, Yvette, who had already mastered the Glowing language, asked Rosaline about the situation in the other world.
Among them, the Glowing Continent is the East Continent, which is where humans, elves, orcs and other ethnic groups from another world live.
The western continent opposite to it is also called the "Demon Abyss Continent", where the demons live.
"It seems so. I heard my father mention that in the front-line fortresses, the elves are often the backbone... The kingdom's army used to be often dispatched by them..." Rosaline tried hard to recall.
Her father was Earl Theon of the Kingdom of Eton, a member of the highest nobility, and she naturally held the prestigious status of an earl's daughter. Otherwise, how could she have known about the Aurora Belt and the Residual Abyss, let alone escape the demons' pursuit with this little knowledge?
——However, looking at the entire Eastern Continent, the Kingdom of Eaton is just a small country.
"What kind of magic do the elves use?" Yvette was quite interested in this.
"Legend has it that elves can control flowers, plants, and trees... I don't know anything else..." Rosalyn said.
Plant magic... The Origin Civilization has done extensive research in this area. If I can find relevant information, perhaps I can create a similar spell... Yvette thought to herself. However, the capacity of the Furnace Ring x3 is only 44,000 left, so every new spell must be carefully calculated...
The morning light quietly flowed in the conversation until the shadow moved to the middle of the sky. When it was time for dinner, Yvette went into the house to cook, and Rosalyn followed her and helped her.
At this time, after more than three months of living there, she already had a certain understanding of the so-called "Land of the End", and she also believed that the witch sister with gorgeous silver hair in front of her was by no means an evil god, but a truly good person.
And he's also a handsome, strong and beautiful man... She added with some longing in her heart.
For lunch, we had vegetable salad and grilled fish, which was quite Western in style, but the main reason was the limited ingredients.
After dinner, Yvette picked up a copy of "Basics of Magical Mechanical Technology" and flipped through it in the first-floor living room. The sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a soft, angelic glow over her.
However, the quiet reading and study did not last long. She glanced at Rosalyn, who was standing not far away, peeking out, her expression hesitant to speak, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
"Um... Witch Sister, hasn't it been a long time since we went on an adventure?" Rosaline looked at her expectantly.
"Exploration..." Yvette glanced at her, then looked down at the professional book she had just opened. "Didn't they do it just the day before yesterday?"
"So you took a rest yesterday." Rosalyn blinked her beautiful big eyes hard, and the implication and coquettishness were quite obvious.
"...Okay." Yvette hesitated for a moment, then closed the book.
The "adventure" mentioned here actually refers to Yvette taking Rosaline around the city of Ish to see the so-called "ancient ruins".
Initially, when Yvette went out to collect usable supplies, she was brought along because she was worried that she would be unsafe in the manor alone.
Unexpectedly, this area actually became addictive for the little girl. She changed her first impression of the "horrible and dilapidated" outside the manor and instead believed that it was a "mysterious and magnificent ancient relic." She was full of curiosity and urged Yvette to go out for a walk whenever she had time, and she never got tired of it.
Well, it’s not that I’m lazy and don’t want to read, I have no choice but to do it because I have to take care of the children... Yvette hypnotized herself in her heart.
Soon, after walking out of the three-story wooden house that was gradually expanded into a large villa, Yvette took out the flying board that had played a great role in helping her escape from trouble, and used it as a means of transportation.
He let Rosaline stand at the front of the board and he stood at the back. The flying board floated up silently, carrying the two of them like swimming fish, passing through the steel jungle covered with green plants.
"Where are we going today?" Rosalyn asked happily.
She really liked the feeling of flying through the sky like a bird, especially when Yvette occasionally performed some thrilling maneuvers, such as squeezing through the narrow gaps of collapsed buildings, she would scream with excitement.
"The factory in the suburbs." Yvette said concisely.
This was the result of her analysis from a map of the island she had recently obtained, which clearly stated that a part of the suburban area of Ish City was a machinery factory belonging to Black Tower Pharmaceuticals.
She planned to go there to collect some junk and see if she could salvage some heavy industrial products with relatively intact functions, such as magic motorcycles, rune airships, etc.
In order to save magic power, when Yvette was attacked by some flying mutants on the road, she used frost bullets to fight against them.
With just a bit of magic, most aberrations could be frozen, rendering them incapable of movement for a short period of time. Even if they didn't die from the fall, by the time they recovered, Yvette would have already left with Rosaline, naturally pulling them out of their aggro range, saving them a lot of worry.
Even though Rosalyn had seen this scene several times, she still found it incredible.
In her understanding, chanting spells is an essential part of a magician's magic use. However, the witch sister calls herself a magician, but she can cast a spell with just a wave of her hand, and one spell can kill an evil demon in seconds. This is completely inconsistent with her understanding.
Even if she is not a god or an angel, she must be an unfathomable master of magic!
Anyway, he is much more powerful than those magicians in the kingdom and the church!
Thinking of this, a little expectation took shape in the little golden retriever's heart.
——Since she can’t go home in the short term, can she learn magic from the witch sister here?
