Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"Prophet, can you tell me who the other party is?"

Who on earth could have such charm that the prophet could recognize him as his master? Or where did the prophet get the confidence that the other party had the power to conquer the entire orc race?

The prophet still smiled at this question, but at this moment his eyes gradually became clearer. The originally turbid aura seemed to be revived at this moment. Even the lion king felt a flash of danger from the other party. Then he heard the prophet answer the lion king's question in a smiling tone:

"Who said that our prophet's future master... is human?"

"Uh... not human? That's..."

The smiling tone made the Lion King slightly stunned. However, this time, it was not the prophet who answered him, but Bai, who had been sitting quietly at the side from the beginning. He only heard the other party speak in a soft and sticky tone that seemed to be without any emotion, but with a hint of natural charm:

"The master...is not human, but..."

“…God!”

9. Secret

God, that is really an ethereal word, at least for the orcs or even humans... Perhaps before the Mirror Destruction Day, there may still be records about God in various books and religions, or there may be religions that believe in gods, etc.?

However, now all of that has become a thing of the past after the catastrophe of the Mirror Destruction Sun. Although there seems to be a legend of the "Star Goddess" in the "mythology" of the human race, it is obviously just some kind of illusory imagination for the orcs.

After all, although they use magic and have the powerful ability to switch between animal and human forms, which is unscientific in itself, the concept of gods is obviously also very incredible!

However, such an incredible thing was now stated so lightly by the prophet... or the next prophet, and it was directly stated that the "God" was her, them, and the future master god of the entire orc race... To be honest, at this moment, even with the Lion King's reverence for the prophet, he couldn't help but feel a sense of... absurdity!

It's so unreal!

Yes, it was unreal, but for some reason, the unreality made the Lion King feel slightly relieved.

Regardless of whether the so-called God exists or not, if the object of the prophet's loyalty is really the so-called "God"... then it doesn't seem to be something unacceptable, right?

After all, compared to a human or an orc of unknown identity as their 'master', a god is obviously qualified... No, it should be said that at that time it will not be a question of whether the other party is qualified to be their master, but whether they, the orcs, are qualified to be... God's servants?

The thoughts in his mind seemed to have changed slightly with Bai's gentle words, but it seemed that after the topic of "God" was mentioned, both the prophet and Bai fell silent. After that, the Lion King wanted to know more details, but what he got in return was the topic of "God" that the other party had already kept silent about.

Seeing this, regardless of what the Lion King was thinking, it was obvious that anything he said now was redundant... everything still needed to wait until the other party really brought that 'God' back. After all, although the person who said that the other party was God was a prophet who never lied, but things like God... it really needed to be seen with one's own eyes!

Saying this might be considered disrespectful to the gods, but the Lion King didn't have the reverence for the gods in his heart, so he didn't care. He even thought that the other party might just be a powerful guy who was pretending to be a god...

Well, this kind of thought naturally could not escape the eyes of the prophet, and the prophet did not seem to react to it, nor did he show any anger because the other party "slandered" the gods. Although Bai on the side seemed to frown slightly again, this time the Lion King decisively chose to ignore the other party and looked in the direction of the prophet again.

Is there anything else you want to ask?

The prophet's smile and eyes seemed to express such a meaning. However, when the lion king opened his mouth, he found that he had countless questions in his mind, but for a moment he didn't know where to start. He opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound.

What happened today was too bizarre, even to the point of being magical. Even the Lion King's brain was a mess. Therefore, although he was full of doubts, he didn't know what to ask after thinking about it. Perhaps because he saw the other party's current state, the prophet took the initiative to speak:

"If you don't know what to ask, then don't ask. Doubts in your heart need to be confirmed with your own eyes..."

This was indeed the Lion King's style. He would never trust anything that he had not personally witnessed or confirmed. Therefore, the prophet's words were quite to his liking. He even seemed to be well aware of the Lion King's own arrogance or the orcs' principles. After thinking for a moment, the prophet spoke again:

"Recognizing him as their master was a decision made by the Prophet's lineage. It's also just a fragment of the 'future' Bai saw, but it doesn't guarantee the fate of the entire Orc race... Although, selfishly, I really hope that the entire Orc race can be under the protection of that 'god,' but no one can say for sure about such things!"

Even though she is a prophet, even though she can foresee some fragments of the future, she is a god after all. How can a mere mortal like her know about the affairs of gods? Therefore, even now, she can't see the future clearly.

Of course, even though it was unclear, there was one thing the prophet could be sure of, and after all she had said before, there was one thing she now needed to seriously warn the Lion King about:

"Remember, you don't have to submit to God, but you must maintain basic respect for Him. You don't have to be indifferent to God, but you can't do anything that goes against His decisions. When the gods come to the Orcs, you must treat them with the same attitude you would treat the prophets. You can't be even slightly lax. And most importantly... even if you don't receive God's blessing, you absolutely cannot let Him become hostile to the Orcs!"

The words were firm and without any hesitation, and the solemnity in the tone undoubtedly made the Lion King speechless and tense his body. From the prophet's tone, he could hear that this was the other party's most serious warning, and also a "advice" about something that seemed to happen in the future. After thinking about it, the Lion King nodded slightly.

"I understand!"

Of course, he understood it, but what attitude he would hold towards the so-called 'God' would obviously be decided based on the circumstances at that time... Perhaps it was because he saw this in the eyes of the Lion King, the Prophet finally thought about it and decided to tell the other party a secret, a secret from a thousand years ago!

At the same time, it was also an explosive piece of information that made the Lion King stunned for a moment and even tremble all over...

"In fact, the mysterious barrier that has protected the Demon Realm from standing on this land for thousands of years... is precisely the work of that god. It is also the remnant of her great power. This is what has given rise to the existence of... us prophets today!"

10. Ideas

To be honest, when leaving the prophet's tent, the Lion King felt like he was in a trance, not only because of the news revealed by the prophet that could cause an uproar in the entire orc tribe, but also because of the last words the prophet said.

The barrier that has protected the Demon Realm for thousands of years was created by that god?!

The orcs had served for hundreds of years, and it was no exaggeration to say that the prophet's lineage, who was revered as a god, actually used power derived from that god... or was it just the remaining power of the other party?

Not to mention anything else, if these two pieces of news, which are enough to be considered secrets, were to get out, not only the entire Orc tribe, but even the entire Demon Realm would undoubtedly be in shock.

And if everything is really as the prophet said, then at that time it will obviously not be a question of whether the Lion King and others agree with this god, but whether the other party... looks down on their orc tribe!

After all, there is a powerful existence with such strength, no matter whether it is a god or not, at least in the eyes of the Lion King, let alone the entire Orcs, even if the power of the entire Demon Realm is added, it is definitely not possible to contend with the other party. If such a person wants to target the Orcs or something, then the Lion King thinks that the other party does not even need to do anything, just need to directly remove the barrier outside, then by then, whether it is the strange beasts in the ruins around the Demon Realm or the endless natural disasters, they will be enough to cause them heavy losses.

"It seems that this matter needs to be treated with caution..."

Obviously, the conversation with the prophet could not be told to others casually. After all, it involved too many secrets that even his childhood sweethearts could not know at will. Therefore, when the Lion King decided to keep this information to himself, he also made a certain decision in his heart.

"From the prophet's previous words, we can tell that Bai left the tribe and even the Demon Realm in order to find that 'god.' With his prophetic powers and illusion magic, there's no need to worry about his safety. Finding him is only a matter of time... Judging from the prophet's tone, it shouldn't take long!"

The Lion King was obviously very unfamiliar with the "god" whom he had never met or even heard of, especially the existence that was most likely thousands of years old. Therefore, even if he wanted to make a plan on how to entertain the other party from now on, it would be of no avail. However, from the prophet's previous series of conversations, the sharp Lion King had found some key points.

"The prophet once mentioned two things. The first is the current civil war in the Mage Tower in the Demon Realm. The Witch Tower, which is clearly not favored, is actually highly praised by the prophet. Although it's just speculation, is it possible that the Witch Tower is also connected to that 'god'?"

After all, not to mention the orcs, the main existence of the barrier has been centered on the Demon Realm since the beginning. Although a thousand years have passed and the history has long been blurred, the Lion King vaguely remembers the twelve... No, strictly speaking, it should be the thirteenth tower. It seems that there was a post-disaster reconstruction a thousand years ago, and it was only after that that it was officially changed to the name of the constellation.

The name of the Witch Tower seems to be just an abbreviation, and her full name seems to be... Magical Girl Tower?

He wasn't sure what the connection was, but he had an intuition telling him not to ignore these clues. The Lion King's mind seemed to turn for a while, and he finally made a decision silently in his heart:

"Since the prophet has already told us to 'take sides', it doesn't matter whether we choose early or late. We might as well start sending people to contact the Witch Tower now. Maybe..."

If the other party really has a relationship with that "God", then the fact that they can manipulate the barrier is equivalent to pinching the Achilles' heel of the entire Demon Realm. At that time, no matter how the Nine Towers struggle, they are just a group of clowns. Even if they unite with some tribes among the Orcs, it will be of no avail. If they choose to take sides at that time, they may be able to win favor in advance.

Even if we put it another way, even if the Witch Tower has nothing to do with that god, then no matter what the reason, the prophet predicted the other party's victory. In this case, they will not suffer any loss, and they can also establish a good relationship with the future ruler of the Demon Realm. Isn't this a good thing?

There is no harm in thinking about it, so the Lion King naturally has nothing to hesitate about. Therefore, after just a little thought, he decisively decided to go back and send people to have a good contact with the Witch Tower, and it would be best if they could reach some basic cooperation... Although it is still unknown what kind of confidence the Nine-Tower Witch Tower has to deal with it, but at this time, the Orcs' timely help is obviously a manifestation of sincerity, and the other party should not refuse.

After thinking about the things outside, the Lion King's thoughts turned slightly and he couldn't help but think about the orcs themselves. It was also under these thoughts that he immediately thought of the second thing the prophet said.

"Cat Tribe..."

It is just a very small race among the tribes in the Demon Realm. In the entire tribe, let alone the strong ones, even the people who possess magic power (superpowers) will not exceed a hundred in total. It can be said that although it is not the weakest among the orcs, it is also a middle-to-lower-level race.

If the cat tribe has any advantages over the sheep tribe or the cow tribe, which are similar to races that can only serve as slaves or followers, it is probably that their innate flexible body can adapt to various reconnaissance tasks, or that the cat tribe is delicate and soft... Well, it is almost these advantages that give the cat tribe a small position among the orcs.

Despite this small position, it is obvious that the cat tribe, without any subordinates, is undoubtedly an existence that can be trampled upon by any race with a little strength. Therefore, under normal circumstances, such a weak race would not have entered the eyes of the lion king.

However, that was without the prophet’s prior instructions!

Now that the prophet has told us about the cat tribe, the Lion King will obviously be interested in them no matter what. Putting aside other things, at least the current King of Cats and the real 'king' of the cat tribe who is about to return... still need to be investigated clearly!

"Remember that the Cat Tribe should now be... a subsidiary of the Tiger Tribe?"

After thinking about it, the Lion King decided that there was no need to rush about the matter at the Mage Tower, but the cat tribe could make some arrangements first. He immediately raised his foot and walked in a certain direction. There... was the gathering place of the tiger tribe!

11. Denunciation

The Demon Realm was caught up in a turbulent force because of the prophet's prediction, but at the same time, on the other side of the Demon Realm, in the Mage Tower, a similar civil war was taking place simultaneously.

When a 'witch' representing the Witch Tower suddenly appeared and unilaterally announced that the Demon Realm Mage Tower was not allowed to participate in the plan to encircle Tianyu City and was ordered to immediately withdraw from the 'alliance', there was no doubt that not only did the various forces and tower masters of the Mage Tower look confused, but it also caused waves of sensation.

The Witch Tower hadn't issued an 'order' in decades, even centuries, and even rarely appeared on weekdays. The Witch Tower, which was not so much the ruler of the Mage Tower as it was a mascot whose power had long been stripped away, was now suddenly issuing an order...

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that just after the order from the Witch Tower was issued, the two tower masters of the Twin Towers executed the order without thinking, disbanding and stopping the magic troops from the Demon Realm that were originally going to be sent to join the alliance. That was the team that was going to encircle Tianyu City this time.

By the time the masters of the other nine towers learned the news, it was obviously too late!

The Alliance has unilaterally accepted the information that the Demon Realm will not participate in this encirclement and suppression, and has even received a message from the Twin Towers that they want to withdraw from the Alliance. Although the Alliance's attitude towards the latter point is ambiguous, after all, the Demon Realm is one of the three major forces, and it cannot withdraw at will, but the former is obviously a rare good news for them.

You should know that the current scale of the alliance is already the largest power group in the entire ruins world. It not only integrates various forces and the three major forces, but also basically all the forces that can be gathered have been gathered by them except Tianyu City.

This situation resulted in the fact that although the alliance seemed to be a mixed bag, with the pressure from the three major forces, it had vaguely formed a huge force that could almost be said to be able to sweep across the entire ruins world.

In their view, it would be incredibly easy for such a force to wipe out a mere Tianyu City. After all, no matter how technologically advanced Tianyu City was, or how magical Shumagia was, it was ultimately just a neutral city. How could it possibly stop the combined might of almost all the forces now?!

Obviously, no one believed this, and the mysterious power of Tianyu City that could deal with silver had undoubtedly become a huge cake in the eyes of many forces. The key for them was not whether they could take this piece of cake, but after taking this piece of cake... how to divide it?

There's no doubt that the three major factions will ultimately get the lion's share of this pie. While the other factions may be unwilling to accept this, they have no choice but to accept it when they're not as strong as the others... But now, the Demon Realm has actually withdrawn?!

If this wasn't a good thing, what else could it be? The withdrawal of a major power meant they could reap greater benefits, a fact that would clearly make everyone ecstatic. Therefore, it was almost a no-brainer. Even Tianta City and the Scavengers' Alliance eagerly agreed to the Twin Towers' withdrawal message, wishing they wouldn't come!

Although these are indeed great things for all parties, in fact, for the Nine Towers in the Demon Realm, which was originally ready to make a fortune, it is undoubtedly... It is like losing 100 million, and this loss was caused by their own people... It is very uncomfortable!

What can you do if you feel bad? The first thing you do is go to the Twin Towers or even the Witch Tower to protest!

After all, the mages in the Mage Tower today are basically "magicians" who have been out of the Demon Realm, seen the world, and have extraordinary talents. They are all "magicians" who have had a smooth journey. They are no longer the ancient magicians who once relied on inheritance to make a fortune. In their eyes, the ancient inheritance is something that has long been outdated, so naturally there is no awe or anything like that.

If the Witch Tower had always been a well-behaved mascot, then supporting such a being wouldn't be a big deal. After all, the Tower Master wasn't short of money or food, so it wasn't a big deal. But now, this mascot was trying to strike back? Was it trying to ride on their shoulders?

Is that tolerable? Is that tolerable?!

Obviously not!

Therefore, in view of this, a "denunciation" meeting was directly launched today. People from the Nine Towers... No, it should be said that the masters of the two neutral towers also gathered here at this time, and the representatives of the Twin Towers were naturally there. Because the Witch Tower on the main seat was still empty, indicating that its owner had not arrived yet, all the momentum and dangerous eyes immediately fell on the deputy masters of the Twin Towers!

That’s right, it’s the deputy tower master rather than the tower master, because it is said that the tower master of the twin towers has been in seclusion until now, and as for the reason for the seclusion... who knows?

Anyway, while the positions of tower masters in other mage towers have been constantly changing over the years, the Twin Towers have always been like this. It seems that every tower master who comes online immediately goes into seclusion. If it weren't for the occasional magic meetings where they could still hear his voice or meet him, to be honest, they would have suspected that the Twin Towers only had deputy tower masters but no tower master!

And now the two tower masters are undoubtedly still in seclusion... That's right, the Twin Towers can be regarded as the most special one among the twelve towers. It is named after the Twins and has two tower masters. It's a pity that they are not here now. Sitting there at this moment is a beautiful girl who has no expression at all, as if she is a doll.

Her name is 'Yin', and she seems to be a newcomer to the Mage Tower who took over the position of deputy tower master five years ago. It is said that she has a very rare attributeless magic talent. Because not many people have seen her in action, her fighting style is still unknown. However, one thing that is worth affirming is that under her management, the operation of the Twin Towers is normal, and there has been absolutely no fault to find in the past five years!

Well… except for the fact that this time a message was suddenly released to the Alliance, bypassing all of them!

12. Gather

"Tsk~~A biting dog doesn't bark... I used to think it was just a saying, but now it seems... it's really true!"

The meeting had just begun when a sarcastic voice came out as an opening remark from a skinny man who was wearing an emerald green robe with the collar wide open, revealing most of his chest muscles. His short blue hair was casually combed up, making it look like sky-high hair. His face was full of arrogance as he looked at the calm silver man in front of him, and a hint of obscene color flashed in his eyes.

The gathering of the twelve towers today, even the two tower masters who were just there for show, actually had only two purposes. The first was to see who was the leader of the Witch Tower, who was said to be the commander of the twelve towers and whom their young generation had never seen since they took the throne. The other was also very obvious... they were here to call for an explanation!

The target of the accusation was naturally the Twin Towers, which had changed the deployment of the Nine Towers and arbitrarily issued a withdrawal application to the alliance in the name of the Demon Realm.

The green-clothed man started with mocking words, but all he got in return was silence. The tower masters sitting around the huge round table turned a blind eye to the harsh words spoken by the other party in such a meeting. Some even looked in the direction of the girl named "Yin" with hostility or gloomy faces, as if waiting for her answer.

"This is an order from the Witch Tower, and it cannot be disobeyed!"

The deputy tower master of the twin towers named Yin obviously understood what the green-clothed man said, and she immediately spoke softly. Although it was a soft girl's voice, it seemed to contain a hint of electronic sound and responded slowly in a tone without any fluctuation.

"Tsk~~Witch Tower..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a disdainful voice seemed to have come from the mouth of a man in a black leather windbreaker on the other side. He slightly pulled the hat covering his face as if to block the light. The man, who looked like he was asleep, held a piece of green grass in his mouth, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction and disdain. It was obvious that the other party did not take the order of this so-called Witch Tower seriously at all!

"..."

She glanced at the other person without any fluctuation in her eyes, and then silently moved back. It seemed as if Yin did not have such things as "emotions" and "expressions". She just sat there silently, as if she could do this forever if no one asked her any questions.

Even though everyone present had seen this kind of attitude many times, many people still couldn't help but show a look of disgust on their faces, or even... frown.

Just like a puppet... This has always been the rumor in the outside world about the deputy masters of the Twin Towers, as if every deputy master of the Twin Towers would lose all emotions and expressions after entering the Mage Tower, just like now, and always have a cold look... No, it's better to say that they have the attitude of a real puppet, just obeying orders and it is obvious that the person they obey is none other than the mysterious Witch Tower.

"Tsk~~ you lackey!"

This time, someone whispered something, and it sounded like a girl's voice. Although it was very small, it was so obvious in this quiet meeting room.

The newcomers had ill intentions. This was the attitude displayed by the nine Tower Masters who had come to participate in the meeting from the very beginning. However, even though the atmosphere on the scene had been suppressed to a certain extent, and even though these Tower Masters had begun to gradually tear their faces apart and no longer concealed their disgust and anger, they could only sit there and wait quietly...

Getting angry at a mere puppet was obviously useless, and everyone present was very clear about this... With Yin's stubborn attitude, no matter how angry they were or how they tried to blame her, this puppet wouldn't react to them at all. Even if you pointed at her and scolded her, she would just look at you and remain indifferent.

This kind of existence is undoubtedly the most difficult one for them to deal with. After all, even though there are constant conflicts between the twelve towers now, as the masters of one of the towers, it is obviously impossible for them to directly attack Yin just because of some verbal disputes.

Besides, even if they took action, without knowing what kind of magic the other party was using or what kind of strength they had, although they joined forces, in fact, each of them was looking after its own interests. No one of the Nine Towers was willing to take the thankless task of being the first to take action.

And now, everyone has obviously realized that no matter how they react, the Yin on the opposite side will obviously only blame everything on the Witch Tower. If they really want to hold someone accountable, then the only place they can look for is undoubtedly the Witch Tower... This is also the most fundamental purpose of their coming here today.

Now, the people from the Witch Tower have not appeared yet. In this situation, there is nothing left to do but wait. Although many people on the scene have undoubtedly shown impatience, in fact, if they really want to say it, they actually hope that they will not show up!

Having brought such a huge "loss of interests" to the Demon Realm, the Witch Tower's willful behavior has obviously violated the Demon Realm's "rules". In this case, if the other party is too lazy to even come out to explain, then the Nine Towers are fully qualified to impeach it and then directly eradicate the Witch Tower, which has always been a mascot but still a burden on them.

As for this... it was obvious that they had been expecting this for a long time. Therefore, even though the other party had not appeared until now and many people showed impatience, they still sat quietly without any disturbance. At most, they would occasionally make a few sarcastic remarks. The events passed by minute by minute, until finally, after who knows how much time had passed, a voice suddenly came from the main seat not far away, instantly waking up all the tower masters who were almost asleep:

"Looks like everyone's here!"

The gentle female voice came so suddenly, but when the voice just fell, it was undoubtedly like a muffled thunder that exploded directly in everyone's ears. At the same time, the eleven tower masters except Yin undoubtedly all looked towards the direction of the main seat in an instant, only to see a beautiful woman there who had been sitting there quietly at some point, and a figure behind her was also standing quietly, looking at everyone with a... teasing expression on her face.

When did they... come here?!
