house witch
Chapter 211 210. Homework
Chapter 211 210. Homework
The high priest and the knight commander also know something about the servant army system of the witches. Therefore, after the two of them thought about it, after the Moon Rabbit clan recognized the master, the witch master named Dorothy just sent them Treat it like a servant army.
And the job of the servant army is nothing more than going to the battlefield to expand the territory for the witch.
For those peaceful races, it may be a kind of torture to fight desperately on the battlefield, and they will be very reluctant, but the Moon Rabbits are originally a war race, and they go to the battlefield as if they have returned home.
Oh, considering their family's doomsday, maybe the battlefield is more intimate than home.
In the original plan of the Moon Rabbits, they were going to the battlefield to open up a new moon world. Now it is nothing more than changing the leader of the battlefield from the original queen to this Lord Luna, so it is not a big problem.
Although the feeling of fighting for oneself is definitely different from fighting for others, since this Lord Luna is the queen's destined person in the prophecy of the former king, he cannot be regarded as someone else, but one of his own.
Coupled with the contact just now, the two of them can also feel that this witch master is not the kind of tyrannical person, on the contrary, she is quite reasonable, and in terms of the power she showed before to perform miracles, this must be a A powerful witch.
To be honest, it is much more promising to hang out with this witch master than with my unreliable little queen.
But why is it dust?Is it the one who built a house and dusted it as I understand it?
Regarding the future that Dorothy had just arranged for their family, the High Priest and the Knight Commander only felt that their ears must be hallucinating.
"Well, Dahui, oh, I forgot to introduce myself to you, I am a scientific research witch who aims to develop real estate, if you really want to mix with me, then of course you will join my construction team, everyone go together Hit the ashes, otherwise what else can you do?"
Dorothy patiently explained the astonishment of the two moon rabbit bosses.
High Priest and Knight Commander: "."
As soon as the two of them thought that they might have to wear hard hats to supervise the construction site in the future, they suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, and they turned their heads to look at their little queen.
And with the uncomfortable and tangled expressions of the two elders, Sidwell was also gloating.
Hehe, you finally understand how I felt before.
At the moment, she nodded amidst the collapsed eyes of the two elders.
"That's it. I have already bought all the construction machines."
High Priest and Knight Commander: "."
Ah that's fine.
Although the position suddenly changed from a servant army to a construction team, this caught the two big moon rabbits a little by surprise, but it didn't feel so uncomfortable after they recovered a little.
After all, this is just the task of the master, there is no shame, and compared to going to the battlefield to bleed, the choice of sweating on the construction site is much better, but it is nothing more than decent.
After all, the Moon Rabbit is a race with a strict hierarchy. As the elite nobles, the High Priest and the Chief Knight really haven't had much contact with such things as dusting on construction sites. After all, this kind of dirty work is generally the responsibility of the people of the moon below. , Noble priests and knights will not do it.
Therefore, if anyone dared to let the priests and knights do those lowly jobs in the past, they would definitely turn their faces, but now
Alas, all beings are equal in the apocalypse. The pride and glory of the past are not worth mentioning in front of survival. The elites like them have long been smoothed by suffering.
As Dorothy and others saw before, in the wilderness outside the city, besides the Moon People, the Moon Knights and Moon Priests are also working on the construction sites. After all, the harsh environment in the wilderness can't be endured by the people of the moon alone, and some jobs can only be done by strong knights and priests.
Therefore, there is nothing to be afraid of. Since it is the new owner's request, then they obey and it's over.
On the other side, Dorothy also sighed when she saw the tangled faces of the two moon rabbit elder sisters.
Even without mind reading skills, she could guess what these people were thinking.
Sigh, why do one or two of you look down on me as a gray man so much? Why should I be inferior to others when you are a gray man? Do you know what labor is the most glorious? The old thinking of you people needs to be corrected.
For the entanglement of the moon rabbits, the otaku witch also quite understands. They are both war races, and the social atmosphere of the moon rabbits is quite similar to that of the witches. They are the most glorious armed forces, and the battlefield is where successful people should go. , Only by going to the battlefield to make contributions can you reach the pinnacle of life.
As for other industries, they are just the logistics department in charge of supporting the battlefield. Where are those who are not good enough, the weak and the eliminated will go.
In short, industry discrimination is serious.
So Dorothy asked the Moon Rabbits to go to the construction team to collect ashes. It was like telling the parents of the students in the previous life to tell your children not to go to school and come in with me to screw the screws. To lead others into the ditch.
Although due to her status, the high priest and knight commander should agree to her in the end, but although this kind of twisted melon quenches their thirst, it is not too sweet after all. Dorothy felt that she had to give them a moment to reverse Look at their thoughts.
"Hey, two sisters, what do you think of the way I just reshaped the world outside?"
The house witch sat up straight from the sofa, she asked.
"Nature is amazing, like a miracle."
To this, the High Priest replied without hesitation.
"Hmm, it's like a miracle."
The knight commander was still in front of her repeater, singing and singing.
However, what the two of them said was not out of admiration for the witch master, but from the heart.
The two of them are the top powerhouses of the Moon Rabbit Clan. In terms of strength, the two of them are not much worse than the top big witches in the witch world, but even so, they still have no way to reshape the world. Something outrageous is coming.
One reason is that the source of the power of the moon rabbits is the magic power of the moon. As the second-generation magic power after the evolution of the original magic power, this power may not be much weaker than the original magic power of the witches in other aspects, but it has lost that which is the original magic power. The omnipotence of the power of the world.
The original magic power is the power that only the golden natural disaster race can master, their power can be omnipotent, and the moon magic power of the silver-species moon rabbits is only a powerful power after all.
Second, the knowledge required for the creation of the world is too complicated, and it is really beyond the grasp of individuals.
In fact, the moon rabbits also have the means of creating the world, such as high-end magic technology such as the star creation instrument, but this high-end technology has always been in the hands of the royal family and other big rabbits for a few months, and in a small group like them It is impossible to master this core technology.
When they were young, the High Priest and the Captain of the Knights followed the previous queen to study in those big clans. At that time, many big clans had invited the three of them, promising to teach them these high-end skills, but the premise was that the three People leave the group to join them.
All three ultimately declined.
Alas, in this world, the most expensive and precious thing is knowledge. Not all races open advanced knowledge to the whole race like witches.
The magic web library of the witches has been envied by other races for a long time. Although not all the books in the library are for sale, such as personal secrets, you can choose to temporarily hide them, but they are advanced and easy to use. There is no secret technique, but there is a popular version of the spell with the same effect. As long as you have points, you can exchange it. This is already a good thing to envy others.
And even if it is a secret technique, it is not hidden forever. All hiding has a time limit, and it will become public when it expires. Although this actually means that this spell may be behind the version, but it is better than There is no better place for other races to learn such backward spells.
Therefore, if you only look at the magic power, then the high priest and the knight commander can be compared with the top witches, but if they really fight, the top witches may be able to beat the two of them with one hand.
After all, they can only rely on their own groping to become stronger. They really can't compare with the witches who lean on the big tree to enjoy the shade. The difference in spells between the two methods may not be much smaller than the difference in equipment between primitive people and modern people. God knows what the difference is. How many versions are there.
Alas, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many different races thinking about being a witch's dog every day. A little knowledge from the witches' hands may be better than the different races' self-imagining for decades.
Thinking of this, both the High Priest and the Commander of the Knights could not stop envying their eyes. Let me ask you, who in the entire Western Universe is not greedy for the knowledge of the witches? Then the other three disasters are also greedy.
And most of the knowledge and skills displayed by the witch master when she reshaped the world were not understood even by the knowledgeable high priest.
As for the commander of the knight, as a warrior, the commander of the knight told the truth that she has been obsessed with the witch's fighting skills for an unknown amount of time.
"Then I said that what I just showed is actually the witch's civil engineering technology, do you believe it?"
Seeing the envious expressions of the moon rabbits, Dorothy decisively began to draw cakes and make nests.
Beside her, Mia, Audrey, and Alice all looked at her when they heard this, and each of them hesitated to speak.
Really, the three of them can't stand listening to these words, why don't they know that civil engineering is so terrible now.
But after thinking about it carefully, they were stunned to find that this was indeed the case. After all, Dorothy was a freshman majoring in civil engineering, and the knowledge she created was technically civil engineering. There was nothing wrong with that.
Tsk, it can only be said that this guy has raised the threshold of the entire witch civil engineering. Well, the other civil engineering witches have already cried blindly in the toilet.
It's just that the Three Witches are clear about this, but it doesn't mean that the Moon Rabbits also know this. At this time, hearing Dorothy's flicker, the High Priest and the Knight Commander were all dumbfounded.
"You witches call creation civil engineering? Do you have some misunderstanding about civil engineering?"
The two big moon rabbits looked at each other, and each saw the bewilderment in the other's eyes.
"Then the two sisters still find it difficult to accept ashes? Please believe me, this is really a promising career, and there must be a blue ocean waiting for us in the future."
The house witch continued to paint cakes.
Cough cough, this can't be called pie about the gray man, it's called telling the truth, she really didn't tell a single lie, right?
In fact, the high priest and the knight commander were also fooled by Dorothy, and they were a little lost. Although these two big moon rabbits are also mature characters, they can see through other people's lies at a glance, but they are now He didn't feel the breath of lies from the witch in front of him at all.
So, is graying out such a great job?That's creating the world, isn't it more powerful than going to the battlefield and fighting for half a day?
For a moment, their hearts were shaken a little.
In this regard, Sidwell, who was eating melons and watching the show, looked at the two elders who were almost completely hooked, and sighed in his heart.
Miss Yuetu looked up at the ceiling of the palace, and thought of her queen mother.
Oh my god, I have to say that your prophecy is really powerful, this king is indeed a great liar.
On weekdays, Sidwell often heard the two elders scolding her for being stupid, stupid, etc. Now
Hehe, if you are smart, you will also be deceived, and you are not much smarter than me.
With such gloating thoughts, Miss Yuetu continued to eat melons and watch the show.
On the other side, seeing that the nesting was effective, the fish was about to take the bait, and Dorothy quickly made the final kill.
"So the two sisters are still willing to learn civil engineering with me now? If so, we can discuss the next training together?"
"Training? You mean?"
After hearing the subtext in Dorothy's words, the High Priest and the Knight Commander suddenly became excited.
Although the witch master said just now that the witch's civil engineering was so amazing, the two of them didn't have any other ideas except for a moment. You don't teach us.
But just as soon as this thought disappeared, Dorothy's bait was thrown out, which directly hit the itches of the two moon rabbit sisters, making them unable to control themselves anymore, and they were directly broken. Defense, and then fell into the rhythm of the house witch.
Thinking that they also had the opportunity to learn the miraculous power of creation just now, the high priest and knight commander turned their heads and threw aside the dignity of the elite and the glory of the nobility.
Isn't it just ashes?Hit, you can do it, they can lead someone to do it themselves, they love to fight ashes the most.
At this point, Dorothy smiled when she saw the fish finally bit the bait, and she was in no hurry to answer.
She just stood up, walked to the window of the reception room, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
At this time, the sky in Wangcheng was clearly divided into two parts, usually the direction she came from, the sun was shining and the weather was clear, and half of it was the world she hadn't reshaped yet, covered with dark clouds and lifeless.
"When I just reshaped the world, I wanted to understand a truth, that is, there is a limit to one's power. No matter how powerful I am, my power is limited. I can't save your world by myself, so..."
"Do you want to come together? I think it's better to save your own homeland by yourself after all. If you really want to learn how to fight ashes with me, then this is your next after-school homework. I don't know if the two sisters will Will it be too difficult?"
She turned her head, pointed to the lifeless doomsday scene in the distance, and asked.
The house witch is waiting
Two in one, Xi Bao, you can fool others, but you can't fool me, you are tired of moving bricks and want others to help you, damn it, you cheated.
ps: py time is up, recommend a new book to a friend, the title of which is "This simulation is wrong"
