"Well, Dorothy, you're old now, it's time to tell you everything."
Facing his daughter's serious gaze, the middle-aged man on the sofa finally couldn't bear the pressure and spoke.
"Things started more than twenty years ago...Okay, that's almost it. Dorothy, you are about to become an adult. You can make your own choices. No matter what you choose, I will support you."
respect you."
Adam finished everything in one breath, and then looked at his daughter expectantly, waiting for her daughter's choice.
Dorothy, on the other hand, frowned and looked like a Muggle.
What kind of magical plot is this? Should I say that you two really know how to play it?
What my father just said is very long, but to summarize it is "A poor boy from the country, a genius mage meets a rich and beautiful witch who pays a lot of money for a child", "I have a deal with the domineering female island owner", "Decision, family ties and interests, to have a daughter"
I still need a future", "I refused the soft rice because I didn't want my daughter to become a war maniac", "I was being chased by the overbearing female island owner and had a hard time being a baby daddy"...
The Kingdom of the Dragon Witch is a huge alliance composed of countless witch lords of the same race, large and small. In this alliance, there are big lords and naturally there are small lords. Some witch lords are prominent for a while, and naturally some witch lords gradually become more prominent.
Towards decline.
The family of Dorothy's mother Euphilia is such a declining family. Even though the history of their branch can indeed be traced back to the Dragon King, they are indeed descendants of the Dragon King, with noble blood, and their ancestors were once prominent.
, is one of the oldest and most powerful branches in the Dragon Kingdom.
But there is nothing that lasts forever. Over a long period of time, this branch declined due to various reasons. By the time it was passed to Euphilia's generation, it was even passed down by a single line, but the family members
But he never gave up hope of reviving his family.
Euphilia grew up with this kind of expectation from her whole family, and she did live up to her family's expectations. She was a very rare atavistic witch who was already rare and could not be found in the rare Dragon King.
The blood revived in her body, and she suddenly awakened ten powerful dragon talents as soon as she was born. Her innate magic power was even more powerful, and she was one of those monsters with tens of thousands of magic powers at birth.
Moreover, she herself is quite ambitious and capable. She is not the kind of theorist who has talent but practice for nothing. She took over the position of head of the family directly from her mother as soon as she came of age, and in just a few years, her family ranked first in the Kingdom of Dragons.
From the bottom to the middle level.
However, as the family gradually revived and the lost territory was gradually regained, Euphilia's parents began to feel uneasy. Well, it can't be said that they just did what most parents like to do.
The thing is to urge marriage.
Things like, "Daughter, your bloodline is so excellent, it would be a waste not to pass it on..." "The king cannot have a heir. If the family has no heirs to inherit it, it will be detrimental to the future development..." "Now that the territory is large, the family has many people.
It’s not enough and I can’t manage it. Why don’t you have more daughters?”
...........
Her parents' intense pressure to get married really made it difficult for the genius witch Euphelia. She had been educated from a young age to become a tool for family rejuvenation and had never even considered getting married and having children.
.
However, she did not resist such urging in the end. After all, in her view, who prioritized the interests of the family, it was indeed time for her to give birth to some descendants, especially since the family's revival had reached a certain bottleneck.
If the flow goes upstream, she will have to go to the battlefield to open up.
The battlefield is ruthless, and even a genius witch like her cannot be 100% sure that she can come back intact. And if she falls and the family does not have a new heir, then her life's efforts will not be in vain.
Yet?
But even so, Euphilia has no idea of falling in love. After all, the family is busy, and she doesn't have enough time just to deal with official duties every day. How can she have the time to fall in love? Of course
, if purely based on family interests, her best choice at that time was actually to marry other families in the Kingdom of Dragon.
It's just that the arrogant genius Dragon Witch disdains to make such a choice. Her belief is that her family can be resurrected by herself, just like the ancestor Dragon King did. She disdains the crooked way of relying on the power of others such as marriage.
So, she naturally had the idea that she should give birth to a daughter who is better than me. However, this is not an easy thing. After all, she is lucky enough to have returned to her ancestors, but she doesn't
It means that my daughter can do the same, otherwise the Dragon Kingdom will be full of monsters.
Fortunately, this is a magical world. If you are in doubt, don't panic. Just do some divination and listen to the guidance of fate, and you might be able to find the answer.
In the end, Euphilia finally got the answer she wanted from the strongest diviner in the Dragon Kingdom after paying a huge price.
"After you go back, go inspect your territory. The most handsome man you meet on the way is the one who is most compatible with your bloodline. The children born to him will have talents that surpass yours."
This was the guidance the fortune teller gave her at that time.
Euphelia did what she was told, and finally she found Adam, a talented human mage who was traveling in the world of witches.
And here lies the difference from Dorothy's memory.
When her father Adam told her this past incident, he said that his good looks immediately captivated his mother. The two quickly fell in love, and finally they had him. They were a standard and royal poor boy and a white and rich girl.
love story.
But the fact now revealed is that there was no relationship between the two from the beginning, only a cold transaction.
Also, even though her mother Euphilia was a cold and majestic queen, she didn't look like the nymphomaniac girl in her father's stories. Dorothy had wanted to complain about this before, but she had never thought about it too much.
Now it seems that everything was a lie from my father.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The real situation is that Euphilia found Adam, and then said quite directly that you give me your seeds, and I will make you the big steward of my territory.
A mortal mage can become the steward of a powerful witch's territory. This is an incredible temptation that most people cannot resist.
As a mage scholar, Adam's dignity as a scholar made him feel insulted at that time. He stood up angrily and wanted to scold Euphilia for being too deceptive. Don't think that witches are great.
But before he could refute, Euphilia directly added money.
"My family library will also be open to you."
So Adam nodded immediately.
There was no way, she gave too much. As a young man at that time, Adam only had two pursuits, getting ahead and pursuing knowledge. Now the white, rich and beautiful witch in front of him directly placed everything he dreamed of in front of him.
And all he needs to pay is a little essence seed that is insignificant to a man. Only fools will not do this kind of business that makes money.
Of course, what's more important is that he can't resist at all. After all, the dragon witch's firm and domineering eyes clearly show that her decision is unquestionable. Even if Adam disagrees, he can only be willing to do so in the end.
So why bother? Since you can't resist, just enjoy it. Anyway, Euphilia is a rare beauty, and she is as good as Adam.
But what happened next was not as beautiful as Adam imagined.
There is no such thing as an affair. The hit rate of human intercourse is too low and the effect is not good. This inefficient form will naturally not be accepted by Euphilia. Therefore, the next moment Adam nodded in agreement, a body
The feeling of being hollowed out swept over the young human mage.
No one knows what kind of magic this is, but with a snap, in less than a second, Adam was squeezed dry, and not a drop was left.
Then the indifferent witch left ruthlessly with a test tube full of seeds, leaving only the human mage who was almost turned into a human being, lying weakly on the ground holding his waist and unable to get up. After that, he rested for several months before he recovered.
Came over.
Adam was very angry at being treated like a tool, but before he could get angry at Euphelia, the agreed deal had already arrived.
This originally humble human mage suddenly became the most powerful steward of the witch leader, with one person under him and more than ten thousand people. The ancient witch family's vast collection of books made the mage who pursued knowledge even more reluctant to think about the dignity, the humiliation, and the beauty.
He forgot all about it at the time, and only knew that he spent every day in the library studying academics and magic.
Until one day, he followed Euphilia to the battlefield as the great butler. The young human mage witnessed for the first time the madness and cruelty of the witch race.
It was an originally quiet and peaceful plane, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the country was peaceful and prosperous. But that day, the witches set their sights on this beautiful and rich country, and natural disasters struck.
The human mage who only focused on study and research had never seen such a cruel scene before. All the books he came into contact with praised the power and glory of the witches. He also thought that the witches were as peaceful and peaceful as their beautiful appearance.
grace.
But when he witnessed those beautiful humanoid creatures mercilessly riding broomsticks to spread death and terror to everything in that world equally, his former faith collapsed.
This human mage, who has always had romantic ideas, now deeply understood how terrifying creatures witches are. They are colder than angels, more cunning than demons, and more cruel than dragons, even if there is nothing in the book.
Whitewashing and beautification in legends cannot change the fact that they are a cruel and aggressive race.
It is true that they are gentler in their methods than the other three natural disaster races and will not really kill everyone, but I am a little more merciful than a perverted murderer. I don't like mutilating corpses. I will leave you with a whole corpse, and you will think that I am a good person.
?
No, I am still a great villain.
No matter whether other people can accept such a cruel reality, Adam vomited at that time anyway. The young mage with the fantasy of equality and beautiful romance couldn't accept it all.
As a result, he even began to hate and hate the witch whom he once admired so much.
But something even more unacceptable to him soon happened. Euphilia was pregnant, and the child was Adam's. The seeds he originally traded that he thought were insignificant would soon become a living creature, and
If nothing else, she will be trained by her cruel mother to become a new war maniac, a ruthless executioner on the battlefield.
It was difficult for Adam to accept it no matter what. When he thought about his own bloodline, his daughter would become one of those horrible creatures that laugh maniacally while spreading destruction and death on the battlefield. The human mage was on the verge of collapse. He had to escape from nightmares countless times.
Wake up with a start.
And when he thought about that kind of future, Adam found that the power that once made him crazy, the knowledge that fascinated him, etc. were all gone. If possible, he would rather travel back in time and die than agree to the original deal.
But the reality is cruel. The power of time is not something that a human mage like him can touch. Facing the more powerful dragon witch Euphelia, Adam has no choice. He knows that it is impossible for him to convince the terrible one.
Dragon Witch, let her give up raising her daughter to be that kind of war mad.
Because dragon witches are born to be the best armed witches, the cruelty of dragons is engraved in their genes, and their instinctive calls guide them to the battlefield.
Fortunately, when Adam was almost desperate, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the terrible witch Euphelia didn't seem to care about his weakness, nor did she have any thoughts of expelling him who was so weak. The witch seemed to want to give his daughter a complete life.
family, so I didn’t want Adam as my father to disappear, but unexpectedly trusted him.
Euphilia even told him bluntly that she would need his father's care after the child was born in the future, because she might have to go to the battlefield and not have so much time to spend with her child. She might not be a qualified mother, so she hoped that the child would
There can be enough fatherly love.
At that moment, Adam discovered that this terrifying witch who was as ferocious as death on the battlefield and as powerful as a god in his own heart might have unexpectedly low emotional intelligence. She was a fool who didn't understand people's hearts at all.
This is the weakness of this terrible witch, and it is also the only opportunity that the weak self can take advantage of.
So, Adam agreed, and he went out of his way to tell Euphelia about various parenting skills that he had learned recently, fooling this powerful but seemingly innocent witch into thinking that he was a great parenting master.
.
Adam's plan finally succeeded. After five years of pregnancy, Euphilia gave birth to a healthy daughter. The dragon witch, a first-time mother, was still very excited and called Adam, the father, to welcome the arrival of her daughter.
, and generously allowed Adam to participate in his daughter’s naming ceremony.
At that time, the witch leader was actually facing a crucial battle. If he won this battle, his family would be able to successfully join the upper echelon of the Dragon Kingdom. And Euphilia, who was already weak after giving birth, would soon be
Off to the battlefield.
However, the excited Dragon Witch still spent a lot of magic power to give her daughter her real name immediately, and then she safely handed her daughter over to the care of Adam, the "parenting master", and then went to the battlefield with peace of mind.
Before leaving, the dragon witch, who had always been indifferent to emotions, was very happy and teased the sleeping daughter in Adam's arms.
"Be good and wait for me at home. After this battle is over, I will come back and accompany you until you grow up."
The Dragon Witch, who is a new mother, promised this.
Then.....
Then there is no more.
After Euphelia returned from the victory, she discovered that her home had been stolen, and her newborn daughter had disappeared together with the despicable human mage. No one knew where they had gone.
Even that damn human deliberately took away a top anti-divination secret treasure from her treasure house, which made it impossible for Euphilia to find someone through omnipotent divination.
The angry dragon witch had no choice but to turn her grief and anger into strength, and began to frantically expand the size of her territory so that she could have enough manpower to search for her daughter's whereabouts all over the world.
But the witch world is so huge that the probability of success of this method of finding a needle in a haystack is theoretically almost zero.
It's just that this is an idealistic world. The heart of belief is the greatest magic. The obsession of a powerful witch will always turn into a miracle sometimes.
Just sixteen years later, after tracking down countless suspects, Euphilia finally sensed the similar magic that came from the same source as her in this small eighteenth-tier town in a remote area.
........
In response, Dorothy: "..."
She rolled her eyes like a dead fish. She was really numb now about her weird life experience.
Life is not easy, the witch sighed.
Alas, I didn't commit any evil in my last life, so how could I have done anything wrong with you and my parents?
