Chapter 67-67- No more perfunctory work
Yvette naturally didn't know that she had unknowingly transformed from the evil goddess, the Witch of the End, into the good goddess, the Silver Witch.
But even if she knew, she wouldn't care. After all, she had little connection with the Glowing Continent, and she would definitely not go there before she had the ability to protect herself against the True God. So the issue of fame was meaningless.
Her mind is now full of the situation of her students.
Although it is unclear how long the identity of "the strongest person in the world" can extend his life, the fact that Rosaline has been in seclusion for forty or fifty years does match Bingyu's information that "he suspected he saw her in the temple thirty years ago."
Thinking of this, Yvette decided to check the timelines of both sides first. She asked, "How many years ago did the first human-demon war begin?"
"Uh... I hate history classes the most. I don't remember it very clearly, but it was probably about five hundred years ago?" Dugrabi said uncertainly.
Yvette nodded slightly. When she was exchanging information about the Glowing Continent with Rosaline two hundred years ago, the student's answer to this question was three hundred years, which was also the time when the Demon King of the Demon Abyss Continent was born.
Now more than two hundred years have passed, and the answer for five hundred years is completely consistent, so it can be judged that the flow of time on both sides is the same, and Rosalind really used seclusion as an excuse to secretly return to the end of the world.
but……
Why didn't you go back to the island?
Is it because they can’t find the way, are in danger, or is there some other force majeure?
She pondered for a moment, but didn't fret. After all, in a land as powerful as the Glowing Continent, with its high-powered demonic background and the existence of true gods, Rosaline's current strength was far superior to hers. Even if trouble arose, it might not be something she could intervene in.
And if her life wasn't in danger, then whatever it was, she had her reasons for not rushing back. Yvette had already left letters before she left, so now she just had to focus on her own journey.
…
When Yvette was lost in thought, the humming sound of an engine soon interrupted her thoughts. She turned her head and saw Bingyu had returned here on a motorcycle, holding a rune pistol in her hand, and shouted: "Miss Good Samaritan! I'm here to help you!"
"No, it won't hurt anyone anymore."
"What?" Bingyu was surprised. "How did you do that?"
"A little communication skill."
"Communication? Can deformed creatures communicate?"
"No, it's not actually a freak creature, it just looks a bit like one."
"What is it then?"
"A wild animal... that can be domesticated... very intelligent."
After that, Yvette looked at the confused Dougrabi again and said in Glowing Language, "Since you've given me some valuable information, I won't hurt you. But I also hope you have some self-awareness and don't force me to cooperate."
"...Whatever you say is what it is." Dugrabi actually hated the alchemical creature that attacked him while he was sleeping, but the creature had the witch's support, so what could he do? He could only lower his head and show his submission.
It also decided to work hard to reverse the bad impression it had left on the Silver Witch, so that it could find an opportunity to test whether the other party would give it a chance.
It also wants to be a legendary wizard, no, a legendary dragon king!
"Look." Yvette turned her head to look at Bingyu.
"So powerful..." Bingyu said blankly. Although she couldn't understand what dialect the two people were speaking, the respect in the Black Dragon's posture when he leaned forward was already extremely obvious.
She couldn't help but look at the black dragon a few more times, and then was glared at by Dugrabi. She shrank her neck in fear, and looked at Yvette who had a calm expression, and was secretly shocked in her heart.
The last time she met her, she felt that Miss Kindhearted was a bit mysterious, but it was only reflected on the surface of her anthropomorphic behavior. When she met her again today, she found that Miss Kindhearted was so extraordinary that she could even tame such a ferocious and terrifying creature. Isn't this a human-level animal taming ability?
Is this the strength of a powerful person at a high level?
It's so scary, isn't it?
…
Next, instead of staying in the woods, Yvette led Dugrabi towards the RV, while Bingyu pushed the cart and followed beside them. The way Dugrabi looked at the strange animals made him extremely unhappy. He tried hard to close his mouth and control the desire to spit out dragon breath.
Yvette did not intend to let Dugrabi leave, mainly because she hoped to continue to inquire about the information about the legendary wizard from the black dragon.
But what she didn't expect was that Black Dragon was so enthusiastic about following her that he brought it up before she even opened her mouth.
She naturally went along with it, and at the same time, she speculated on Black Dragon's thoughts - maybe it was because they both spoke the language of Radiance, which made him feel familiar and relieved? Or was it because he admired the strong?
Maybe both, but why was he so proactive? Did he seem so trustworthy? Yvette didn't quite understand.
"Miss Kindhearted, where are you going next?" Yvette heard Bingyu ask when they arrived at the RV outside the snow forest and were about to get in the driver's seat.
Perhaps fearing being disliked, she emphasized, "I'm just asking! I have my own destination! I'm going to the ruined city of Kux!"
"I'm going to Kukes too." Yvette glanced at her and said slowly.
In her dream, she stored a detailed world map in her ring to plan her travels after leaving. So in theory, she could visit all the city ruins in Kuroshio Island one by one.
This was certainly driven by a need for devouring, as cities harbored more aberrations than the wild, and were more likely to harbor nests or high-level aberrations, which could be gathered and annihilated. By clearing out the aberrations in the city, she could ensure a steady increase in aberration magic.
The secondary reason is that Kukes used to be a famous tourist city in the New Eden United States. It has beautiful northern scenery and endless snowfields. As a traveler, this is naturally not to be missed.
"Huh? You're going too?" Bingyu blinked, then remained silent for three seconds. Suddenly, she turned her head away, snorted, and said dimly, "You must still like someone, right? Well, I won't disturb your practice. Just go straight, I'll take the longer route."
Yvette shook her head: "I can go with you this time."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because... I can't be alone now." Yvette glanced at the black dragon next to her.
The biggest advantage of traveling alone is that you can devour any deformed creatures you meet on the road without restraint, but now with the black dragon Dugrabi following her, if she doesn't want to expose this fact, all the devouring actions will be moved to the night and carried out secretly, so naturally she doesn't mind having one more puppet.
"That's right, with this fierce guy here." Bingyu nodded thoughtfully.
"?" Dugrabi didn't understand the conversation between the two, but his intuition was surprisingly sharp. He immediately asked, "Witch Lady, is this stinky woman saying bad things about me? Can I beat her up?"
"No, she complimented you on your handsomeness." Yvette said perfunctorily.
Douglas was a little surprised: "I never thought she actually had such a valuable quality as honesty..."
I never thought you were so shameless... Yvette thought.
…
At the same time, in Agashe, the puppet town.
After the two travelers from afar left one after another, the peace of the Puppet Town lasted less than two days before it was broken again.
The cause of this incident was the archaeology enthusiast "Film", who originally wanted to explore the nearby urban-rural fringe ruins for the umpteenth time to see if there was anything he had missed. However, after exploring for a long time, he gained nothing and did not even encounter a single deformed object.
This strange silence and safety was unusual. Although mechanical golems weren't on the Aberrant's diet, that didn't stop them from suddenly attacking and startling people. Furthermore, the film itself was involved in an incident three months prior, so it quickly realized something and returned to Golem Town, calling its old friend, the Gunman, along.
With an expert leading the team, the film's actions became much bolder, intending to conduct some in-depth exploration. However, along the way, they did not encounter any danger, which made the two of them continue to go deeper, deeper, and deeper...
Finally, they saw a scene they would never forget: countless shrunken corpses lay strewn across the heart of Agashe, like a slaughterhouse that had just finished work. The pungent stench of decay mingled with the bitterly cold early winter wind, sweeping across the building surfaces, which had solidified into dark brown slurry. The scene was so horrifying and hideous that even the eighteen levels of Hell might be no match for it.
This naturally caused a huge shock to the minds of the two mechanical puppets. They were so scared that they fled and notified the Great Elder immediately.
The Great Elder, who had experience with the incident, was a little curious when he saw the reactions of the two. In addition, even if he reported it to God, the result he would get might be "self-investigation". So this time the Great Elder organized a large team to go deep into the place, intending to see for himself how big the difference was between the actual scene and the verbal retelling.
Then……
The exploration team of more than a dozen people all fled back in a hurry. The Great Elder was even more shocked. He immediately contacted the headquarters of the Temple - the headquarters was the agent of God's will and could handle related matters - and demanded that the headquarters must send someone to investigate. If they didn't, he would keep making harassing phone calls until the headquarters sent someone!
Yes, no matter what we say this time, we can no longer be perfunctory!
