House Witch

Chapter 1263 1262. Adam's Intention

Dorothy slowly came back to her senses.

Originally, she thought that this Sword of the Brave might be a relic that Adam specially left for her, but after thinking about it carefully, she found that things did not seem that simple.

To be honest, for today's home witch, the Brave Sword is really dispensable. After all, this sword is not a magical weapon.

If we ignore the historical and cultural value of the Sword of the Brave and the Sword of the Imperial King, and look at it purely from the perspective of weapons and equipment, this sword can be considered a treasure of the first level of an artifact for weak humans, but in the eyes of the witch, it is just a more powerful alchemical weapon.

This is far less than the hundred heads that Adam had given her to shoot before.

Perhaps the truly valuable thing about this sword is that it can serve as the key to this special spiritual ruins on the island of Sicily, and also the inheritance of the brave spirit on the sword.

But these two benefits are equally dispensable to Dorothy.

Sicily Island, the only remaining pure land in the Omnic Wasteland, is indeed a paradise for mortals. However, Dorothy is a witch, and the environment has little impact on her. What’s more, this time when she comes to conquer the world, she wants not only Sicily Island, but the entire Omnic Wasteland.

As for the brave hero's inheritance on the sword?

Please, Dorothy has already mastered the upgraded version of the hero's heritage - the Heart's Oath.

So, if Adam and Old Deng deliberately left her a relic, he would definitely not leave her this useless sword. So thinking about it this way, it is very likely that this sword was not left for her.

If this hero's legacy is not left to her, his biological daughter, then to whom should it be left?

Dorothy thought about it and the only option was Denise, her goddaughter or goddaughter.

This is not Dorothy's random imagination, but is well-founded. The most obvious evidence is that the predecessor of this brave sword is the imperial sword of the Winter Queen.

The House Witch knew very well that for a true hero, the quality of the weapon in his hand was actually not important. For example, the sword of the hero Adam that she saw when she traveled through time to the childhood of the Demon King was not a magical weapon.

That sword was a fine long sword that the brave Adam bought at the village blacksmith shop at a high price when he went out of the village to adventure. It was literally the best sword in the village, but that was all. It could not be compared with the real divine weapons made of high-grade materials such as refined gold, secret silver, dragon bones, etc.

But this did not prevent the ordinary village sword from accompanying the brave Adam on his adventures, creating legendary feats such as slaying dragons and fighting demons.

For a true hero, the courage to never give up is the sharpest sword. As for the weapon in his hand, it is just a carrier of courage. The quality of the sword itself is not that important.

But now Sicily's Sword of the Brave is also the Emperor's Sword of the Winter Queen. Is this a coincidence?

If this had happened in the past, Dorothy might have really thought it was a coincidence. After all, although a hero can use any sword, if there is a good sword, he will definitely use the good sword. Adam just doesn't know how to pick weapons, but he is not a fool.

But now this artificial intelligence wasteland is really full of traces of arrangements, and everywhere is the layout of the big guys. The house witch has every reason to believe that her own boss also has a hand in it.

Therefore, Adam's choice of the Sword of the Brave was definitely not a random one; there must be a reason behind his decision.

Dorothy remembered that her godmother had said before that she had originally wanted to ask Adam to ascend to the throne, but old Adam had gone on strike, so she had no choice but to ask herself, the young Adam, to take the throne.

But based on the witch's understanding of her husband Adam, it is unlikely that Adam would betray his own daughter.

Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.

Although Adam tried to instill "upright" values ​​in Dorothy when he first kidnapped her from the Dragon Queen, after Adam discovered that she was born sensible, he no longer had the idea of ​​brainwashing her. Instead, he began to let her do what she wanted and only imparted experience without forcing her to do anything in a certain way. He guided Dorothy more to think independently.

It can be said that Dorothy's current free and lazy character, and her extreme dislike of being arranged by others, is partly due to the influence of the time traveler's personality, and is born that way, while the other large part is due to the habit developed by Old Deng.

Well, after all, to put it bluntly, in her previous life she was just an ordinary otaku with some talent, and she was an orphan with some personality problems. If she had no power, she would be harmless, but if she had power and authority, she might start to become arrogant.

This can be seen from the fact that in the first week, she died directly because of the arrogance of the time traveler.

And Dragon Mother.

Alas, after such a long time of reunion, Dorothy has more or less figured out her mother's character. She seems domineering but in fact she protects her mother; she seems strict but in fact she dotes on her mother.

If I were raised by Dragon Mother herself, there is no doubt that my strength would grow much stronger than if I were raised by Adam, but my personality...

It can be seen from the way Dragon Mother teaches her apprentices that she believes in the traditional style of beating a daughter to make her filial. If the child is disobedient, she will be beaten, not to mention the more subtle ones. Dragon Mother is not good at speaking. If she had a higher emotional intelligence, she would not have been so eager to give the child a car, a house, and a wife when the mother and daughter just reconciled.

Moreover, as domineering as Dragon Queen is, she probably only allows herself to beat her daughter. If anyone else beats Dorothy a little, she will probably be so angry that she wants to bite that person.

Well, it's the typical protective parent who jumps out and fights back without asking any questions when his child gets beaten outside. What a villain template.

Look at the bad personalities of Dragon Mother's two best friends - Mr. Spider and Aunt Purple

Well, Dorothy’s personality in that world line may not be the problem that I don’t eat beef, but that this Western universe seems a bit too urban to me.

In short, Adam was a very qualified father. Knowing that Lucien was still on the lookout, if there was any trouble, he would definitely take it on himself instead of leaving it to his daughter.

Adam keeps saying at home that he is an ordinary person, and Dorothy also keeps saying that she wants to live an ordinary and peaceful life. The father and daughter understand each other's insistence, and they don't go to the extent of setting traps for each other.

"Then the question is, if I don't want to take the position, will Denise be willing to take it? Old Deng can't really be partial to me, his biological daughter, so he can use his goddaughter to take the position, right?"

Dorothy frowned again as she thought this.

But soon her expression relaxed again.

Because she thought about it and found that Denise was really willing to go.

She had already recovered her first round of memories and was very familiar with her good sister's character. Although Denise was now the King of Gods, a person's character had already been determined. It was said that an unfortunate childhood had to be made up for in a lifetime.

If I were to describe Denise's personality in her childhood in one sentence, it would be gentle on the surface, arrogant in her bones, and inferiority deep in her heart.

Denise was also an orphan, but her life was much more miserable than Dorothy's in her previous life. After all, the homebody lived in a civilized country in her previous life. Life in an orphanage was a little harder than that of a normal child, but there were not as many bloody difficulties as in novels. At least she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, not to mention that her parents left her a considerable inheritance. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to be a homebody after she grew up. After all, you can't stay at home without money. You have to go to work to make a living.

And Denise (Chapter 431)

The missing adventurer father, the unmarried pregnant village beauty mother, the grandparents who were ready to sell their daughter to supplement the family income, the village men who coveted the beauty of the mother, the village women who were jealous of the mother's beauty, the persecution of rumors.

Tsk, what a hellish start. If it weren’t for the arrival of Father Adam who gave the mother and daughter a chance, it would have been a real tragedy. But even Father Adam’s rescue could not save Denise’s mother, and in the end the poor woman died of depression.

Just from her life experience, you can tell that Denise's mental health cannot be that good. It can only be said that if it weren't for the later upbringing and education of Father Adam, she might have turned evil without waiting until the Witch Night.

And it would be fine if Denise was really just an ordinary country girl. Ordinary people wouldn't do anything big if they turned evil. But Denise is a real genius. She is precocious and knows everything, so she is even more twisted.

Because she has been persecuted by various people in the village since she was a child, Denise has long been extremely disappointed with human nature. On the surface, she looks like a gentle and sensible child, but in fact, she despises everyone equally in her heart.

Gentleness and understanding are her disguise, while her arrogance of treating people as livestock like sheep instead of human beings is her true nature.

Until she met Father Adam and Dorothy.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Alas, the sunshine in hell is indeed something to be yearned for, but at the same time, the light is too dazzling, so dazzling that it would make the demons who are used to shadows feel ashamed.

In fact, in the first week, Dorothy often felt that Denise was always a little cautious when facing her and Adam.

This is normal. After all, after her mother passed away, she became a truly helpless orphan and could only rely on Father Adam, her godfather who had no blood relationship with her.

Even if the godfather is indeed a good man, the feeling of living under someone else's roof cannot be explained in a few words. If Denise was an ordinary, slightly stupid child, it would be fine and she might not worry too much, but she is too smart and sensible.

Then the fear of being a burden, the fear of being abandoned because of uselessness, the fear of being kicked out if you accidentally do something wrong and so on arises. How can this person not be cautious?

But if it were just this, it wouldn't really matter, because Denise was a genius. She was confident that she would not make any mistakes, and she would definitely be able to repay the kindness of the Godfather's family in the future, even if she was just a village shepherdess at that time.

However, the confidence of such a genius was soon ruthlessly crushed because she had to face Feng Aotian Dorothy in the first round.

Her own intelligence was probably the only treasure that Denise had at that time. It was her last bargaining chip to maintain her pride and dignity, and her last sense of security.

But unfortunately, this is how it is when you compare yourself to others. Denise's last bit of dignity is still somewhat vulnerable in front of her sister Dorothy.

Feng Aotian and Dorothy really didn't mean to target anyone, they just simply wanted to say that the entire Western Universe is full of weaklings and will surrender to her sooner or later. Do you understand the value of a time traveler? I am the destined protagonist.

Then

Then the protagonist died, so sad.

Thinking about it now, Dorothy could almost understand why Denise's Witch Night got out of control so easily, because the uneasiness in her good sister's heart was not just because she did not tell her about the potion in advance, but the uneasiness that had accumulated over time finally broke out.

She wasn't saying that Denise was ungrateful or anything, it was just human nature.

Human beings have a need to be needed. Once someone is no longer needed by anyone, that person will soon become decadent, feel that his or her life is meaningless, and gradually fall into nothingness.

Just like the former Alliance members in this mechanical wasteland.

The same is true for Denise. When her last bit of pride was ruthlessly crushed by Dorothy, she inevitably doubted herself, felt so inferior that she doubted her meaning in this family, and wondered what value she had.

This is the reason why great favors can be like great hatred. The favor is so great, but there is absolutely no chance to repay it. This feeling can also make people psychologically distorted.

Of course, Denise is not such a fragile person. She truly recognizes Adam as her godfather and really likes Dorothy as her sister. She cherishes this hard-earned home more than anyone else. As long as she still has her sanity, she will never repay kindness with enmity.

But the sanity of ordinary people is not something unbreakable. When Denise accepted the gift of world consciousness in the despair of Witch Night and evolved into a witch, the tremendous power directly caused her to lose her sanity temporarily, which eventually led to the tragedy.

According to the godmother, it was the old justice that was trying to drive away Dorothy, the unstable factor.

But in the opinion of the House Witch herself, she was too proud in the first week. She had obviously realized the inferiority in her good sister's heart, but she did not take it seriously. She still arrogantly felt that everything was under control. After all, she did not take Denise's blackening seriously in her heart. Subconsciously, she felt that Denise was indeed not as good as herself and posed no threat to herself at all.

Tsk, Miss Feng Aotian, your face must have been slapped.

But thinking about it this way, she could understand Adam's intention of leaving the Sword of the Brave to Elsa.

Dorothy is not lacking in courage, but Elsa or Denise really needs the blessing of courage.

The God King, who seems to be high and mighty, has actually not been able to get out of the inferiority and shadow of her childhood. She was originally very humble, and later she made the big mistake of destroying her entire family and destroyed everything she cherished most with her own hands. Dorothy couldn't even imagine how much torment her good sister had endured over the years. If no one helped her, it would be really difficult for her to get over it.

It is no wonder that the God King has lost such a serious amount of humanity. This is probably not just a struggle between the old principles, but also Denise's self-escape.

For the King of Gods, it might be more tolerable to lose his humanity.

...The witch is thinking...

I have a slight cold. My head has been feeling groggy these past two days and it's hard for me to concentrate. Please pay attention, everyone.
