"This is really a free city, there are no taboos."
The three sisters walked around the edge of the city several times, but they just visited and did nothing. At the end, Dorothy sighed with emotion.
The name of this Sinful City was naturally given by outsiders, but the evil people in the city never call it that. They prefer to call this city the City of Freedom, because here, as long as you have the ability and sufficient means,
Then you will gain true freedom.
In fact, there is freedom here.
Although the city lord ordered that the use of force be prohibited in the city, just like the previous situation where the otaku witch lay down when she saw someone walking on the street, this prohibition on the use of force is actually more like a prohibition on the use of force and still being discovered.
Therefore, here, extraordinary villains with special abilities who can kill people invisibly are really brazen and act recklessly, enjoying their powerful freedom.
Along the way, the three sisters saw evil people walking into other people's homes, eating other people's food, playing with other people's wives, and spanking other people's babies. However, the male owner just sat there with blank eyes.
At the door, I listened numbly to the cries of the women and children in the house and the triumphant and wild laughter of the evil man.
The strongest emotion the man could express was to bury his face in his hands and sob silently.
He, a mortal, was really powerless in the face of such an extraordinary villain. Even if he tried to resist with full of anger, he could only lose his life in the end.
Of course, some people may say that it is better to die happily than to live such a useless life, but if his own life is gone, it will be gone. But if the family really loses his pillar, what will happen to his wife and children?
When the time comes, it won't just be these extraordinary villains who will bully his family. None of his neighbors will be able to save money.
Finally, the evil man came out of the house, looked at the cowardly man at the door, spat disdainfully, cursed him as a coward, dropped a copper plate on the man's head, and walked away.
The man looked at the copper coin that fell from his head, his eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger for a moment, but he finally held it back and sighed.
This is also the rule in the city. Giving money is not considered coercion, it is considered a transaction.
In the end, the man just numbly threw the coin away. He would not want this kind of money even if he starved to death.
But, he didn't want it, there were many people who wanted it, and the coins were quickly picked up by others.
In other homes, some men and women accepted the money from those evil people in a numb manner, and some even had flattering smiles on their faces.
Then these people hesitated for a while, but finally walked firmly to the homes of the neighbors who couldn't bear it anymore and tried to resist. After that, there was a lot of excitement, and the faint screams of women and the crying of children could be heard.
...
It is even lucky to meet evil people here who just have fun and leave. Some evil people throw down a few coins, then kick away the woman who is holding his legs and begging, and then pull him away from the house.
A child leaves.
Some villains walked out with refreshed faces, but there was no movement in the room anymore, and it was dead silent.
In some houses, the smell of meat overflowed, and then a few bones were casually thrown out of the window, and then picked up by wild dogs on the roadside.
It is strange to say that the people in this fringe city are all sallow and thin, but the stray wild dogs are all fat and strong, with shiny and smooth fur.
........
From what I've seen, this is indeed a city of demons, a real purgatory on earth.
Looking at these, the three sisters had different reactions.
Alice, the youngest, was already furious. She wanted to hit people several times, just like what she had done a month ago. The little witch still had a sense of justice.
only....
"This is your family's territory. The city lord is your uncle, and the deputy city lord is your mother. Alice, do you think you can solve this problem completely? Besides, such a thing will be too much when you become an armed witch. It’s common.”
Dorothy stopped the furious sister and asked with a smile on her face.
Afterwards, Alice fell into silence, and then the little witch began to feel a little confused in her eyes, and her whole person fell into depression at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing her sister's sudden depression, the house witch felt a little unbearable, but in the end she still didn't say anything to comfort the little witch.
If Alice was really a mortal, then she would still think that this was just a 13-year-old child, and she really shouldn't let the child see this.
But Alice is a witch, and she is a witch who aspires to become an armed witch, so she will see these things sooner or later, and it is not a bad thing to get in touch with them early.
The miserable situation of this Sin City is nothing compared to the piles of bones under the dazzling floating island in the Witch World. The witch who lives in the sky like a god cannot be seen on the ground. All the sorrows in the world.
If Alice can't even accept this, then after she graduates from the Witch Academy, she leaves the shelter of home and school and comes into contact with the real world of witches, then she won't be able to survive.
Dorothy sighed as she recalled what she had experienced when she and Adam were wandering on the ground when they were young.
Really, if she hadn't had the oath of the heart to protect her heart, she might have been worn out long ago.
"So, it's great to be an honest witch. Don't worry about eating carrots when you have nothing to do. You'll only be looking for trouble for yourself."
Excessive kindness will only make you suffer, and the reality of powerlessness can only make people sink into despair. The adult world is never as simple as black and white. If you want to live a good life, you must learn to convince yourself. .
The otaku witch looked down at the hammer in her hand, and then shook her head.
This kind of belief can save his hometown in his previous life, but it is not so suitable in the world of witches. After all, it is understandable that everyone is equal, but if you want people to be equal to ants, this is a bit fantasy.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is so cruel. It is better to accept the reality as soon as possible.
Not all time travelers can be saviors. With her ability, the most she can do is own a home and entertain herself at home.
Otherwise, what else can we do? The butt determines the head. This sentence is the truth.
After all, my own compatriots have not yet had enough to eat and clothing, so how can I have the free time to care about the lives of other races?
No matter how noble your faith is, it is impossible to save the witch world. The bottomless pit-like appetite of the witches cannot be satisfied by just drawing cakes. It is just like a beast must hunt when it is hungry. When the witch world is hungry, it will naturally
Foreign conquests, this is the law of the Western Universe.
Maybe you can still say that you can live on a vegetarian diet, but is it really reasonable to ask carnivorous mammals to become vegetarians because you feel sorry for herbivores? Who will redress the grievances of plants eaten by vegetarian animals?
Even if a ferocious beast really listens to your request to become a vegetarian, but then it is malnourished and eaten by other non-vegetarian ferocious beasts, who is the blame?
In the cold universe, there has always been only the weak and the strong, and the survival of the fittest.
What morality, what order, what justice, what evil, these are just the wishful self-deception of a small group of intelligent creatures who no longer need to starve and freeze.
The freedom of the weak is actually limited to choosing your own way of living. As for whether you live happily or not, the strong don't care, the world doesn't care, and the universe doesn't care either.
In the world of the West Witch, if you really want to be the savior, there is only one way.
That is to become an omniscient and omnipotent god, allowing everything to follow your will, and then all problems will cease to be problems.
so....
"Good sister, please stand up quickly."
The otaku witch turned her head and looked at Dinisha beside her, thinking this in her heart.
After all, if you want to ask who is closest to omniscience and omnipotence in the Western Universe, it is naturally the three witch kings.
"Dorothy, why do you look at me like that?"
Sensing the gaze of the younger sister next to her, Miss Shepherdess also turned her head and scratched her face to make sure there was no dirt on her face. Then she asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask Dinisha what you think of these."
Dorothy naturally couldn't tell the truth, so she just asked.
"This only strengthens my view that there is no way to save ourselves by relying on such a group of ignorant people.
Dinisha looked normal, although the various tragedies she encountered along the way also made her a little intolerable. After all, she was in the same situation as this group of people not long ago. She was almost taught to be a witch hunter.
Burned to death.
Perhaps it was because of her empathy that she almost took action several times at first, but in the end she endured it and even became calmer and calmer as time went on.
"Dorothy, you have never herded sheep, so you may not know. In fact, some sheep in the flock are far stronger than hungry wolves. But even if they are so strong, they will only tremble when faced with a wolf attack.
They tremble and don't fight back at all. Even if they are a little bolder, the sharp horns can easily pierce the wolf's fur, causing those bloodthirsty beasts to disembowel themselves." (Sheep and wolves in the magical world, please do not bring them in.
Reality.)
"But every time I herd sheep, I have a secret, that is, I will kill a wolf in front of the sheep, so that the sheep will fear me, and then I will make the wolf meat into feed and feed it to the sheep.
The strongest ones among them."
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
"Slowly, I discovered that these sheep, which had only shivered in front of the wolves, began to lose their fear, especially the few that had eaten wolf meat. They would even follow me and attack the wolves.
.”
"Following on, the entire flock will not even need me to take action. They will take the initiative to attack the wolves under the leadership of those carnivorous sheep. There will be more and more carnivorous sheep in the flock."
"It's just that sheep are just sheep after all. Their courage is limited to this. Although my sheep are not afraid of wolves, they encountered leopards once before and they did not dare to move until I killed the leopard again.
The sheep regained their courage again."
"Sheep are such creatures. They are so harmless. They have no power but dare not use it. However, they are naturally possessed of the lust of beasts. They will instinctively follow the winner. If you win, they will
They will follow you, but once they encounter new enemies that they have never seen before, they will start to hesitate again until they confirm that you are still the winner."
"Sheep will and will only dare to follow the winner. Their courage is limited to this."
Miss Shepherdess did not answer Dorothy's question directly, but first told such a story.
When the story ended, she looked at the slum in front of her and sighed.
"In my opinion, these are the most primitive sheep. They need the shepherd who represents victory to give them courage."
"But, Dorothy, sheep are sheep. They will only follow the one who wins. It is unrealistic to rely on them to defeat the church. At most, they can only be your provider, not your strength. When you face danger,
At times, the flock is unreliable.”
Dinisha was actually looking forward to what Dorothy said before about man's victory over nature, but in this slum, she couldn't see any hope of victory over nature.
Just like the sheep under her command that are actually capable of breeding ligers are of no use to the church's witch hunters.
Of course, this is also because she is not strong enough to maintain her victorious persona when facing the witch hunters. Otherwise, the violent sheep could actually overwhelm the witch hunter team.
But what's the use? No matter how powerful the sheep are, they can only consolidate her strength instead of helping her break through her limits. Then the sheep will just abuse the food.
Having already suffered a loss with the sheep, she did not want Dorothy to make the same mistake again.
If she was given another chance now, Dinisha would definitely kill some sheep and eat the meat herself, so as to make herself stronger. She found that the only person she could truly rely on in a critical moment was herself.
Only when you win can the sheep have the courage to follow suit.
Dorothy: "...."
Let me go, what kind of sheep are you? Why are you so cruel?
After hearing what this good sister said, the otaku witch blinked in confusion.
She always felt that the sheep in Dinisha's mouth were not the same species as the delicious mutton skewers in her memory.
only....
"Humans and sheep are different after all. People have thoughts and emotions, but sheep do not. For sheep, their own survival is the most important thing, but for people, there are always some things that are higher than life."
Dorothy clenched the hammer in her hand and murmured in a low voice.
Although this belief cannot save the Western Universe, if it just makes the people at the bottom less miserable, it is enough. So what is there to worry about? This is not reality, it is just a dream on the night of the witch.
It's just one scene. It's rare to be arrogant in a dream, so it's not a big problem.
The otaku witch thought so in her heart, and then she no longer acted as a bystander. She chose to enter the house, went straight to the door of the man's house at the beginning, and knocked on the door.
"Hello, can I spare your family a little time? Would you like to have some faith? It doesn't cost money anyway, how about a little faith?"
...The house witch brandished a hammer and knocked on the door...
