Hate Me, Miss Witch!

Hundreds of stars hang high in the sky, like a dream, lighting up the dim eternal night.

Like a vast sea of ​​stars.

Hathaway walked in the royal court, and the silent buildings around her were bathed in a cool starlight.

Surprisingly, it really succeeded...

Even today, looking at the dazzling galaxy above the Lost Island, Hathaway still feels a little dazed.

In the past six months, too many incredible things have happened.

Since I was in the star realm, I met the black-haired boy who called himself Char.

After learning magic from Char, he truly entered the palace of arcana and indulged in the desire to explore the truth.

And now——

The girl's wish that she expressed in her childish voice when she was young and ran to the beach became a reality.

For the past few months, she had been staying on that high mountain.

Hundreds of solar furnaces work together at the same time, as well as the distribution of magic crystals.

If there is even the slightest mistake in this, it is likely to cause the disaster called a nuclear explosion that Char said.

This kind of magic is an extremely powerful super-standard forbidden spell used to kill enemies, but if it gets out of control and affects a friend, it will be a huge disaster.

Because of this, Hathaway has been tense these days and dare not relax for a moment.

It was only at this moment that the operation of the hundreds of solar furnace arrays had stabilized, and she dared to relax for a moment and return to the royal court.

It stands to reason that after completing such a complicated and complicated task without any mistakes, no matter how strong your mental power is, you should feel tired.

However, at this moment, all the fatigue and laziness in Hathaway's heart were filled with the joy and expectation welling up in her heart.

Perfectly completing a task that even Char said was extremely difficult——

Then, I will surely impress Xia Ya.

Moreover, today's arcane enlightenment knowledge has begun to spread among the Elf King's Court.

When the matter on the Lost Island comes to an end——

Then he can follow him all the time just like Xia Ya said.

Become the first member of the wizard tower he wants to build.

With such thoughts in mind, the Golden Elf couldn't help but lighten his steps.

"Hathaway, Hathaway..."

Even Hathaway herself was aware of this excitement and couldn't help but laugh.

Obviously in the past nearly a thousand years, she had already been accustomed to researching and being alone...

After the original elders of the council passed away one after another, leaving her alone to shoulder the heavy mission, Hathaway's retreat often lasted for tens or even hundreds of years.

She should have been accustomed to being alone and lonely, spending all night with experimental materials and documents.

"But I haven't seen Xia for a few months, and am I already so anxious?"

"It really doesn't look like me at all."

She patted her cheek gently, trying to expel the disturbing emotions from her mind.

However, the more Hathaway tried to calm down, the more confused her thoughts became.

The spiritual power that she was originally proud of was as vast as the sea and could completely analyze the structure of the world, but it could not explain the situation she encountered at this time.

"It says in the story written by the gray elf bard."

"If an elf's joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are all affected by a person of the opposite sex."

"I am happy because of him, I am sad because of him, and I have random thoughts because of him..."

"Then it must be love."

"so--"

"Am I in love with a human?"

The golden elf's steps paused slightly and he spoke in disbelief.

She touched her face, feeling the hot temperature.

After a long time, Hathaway finally regained her mental strength and constructed a "calming mind" spell model, forcing herself to calm down.

"I should be, I really have fallen in love with Char."

"My heart beats faster when I think about him."

"And as long as it involves him, my mental ability to construct spell models will also slow down."

"These are irrefutable evidence."

Hathaway whispered with great conviction.

As a wizard, the rigorous thinking of analyzing everything in the world based on arcane rules made it impossible for the golden elf to deny this obvious fact.

Her heartbeat rate and her body functions all confirmed this.

"Now that I understand my true intentions."

"Then, what I have to do next is to find a way to make Xia Ya fall in love with me too."

"This process will be very long. After all, Char's origin is too mysterious... God knows if he already has a lover, or even a wife and children, in his own tribe."

"I don't know if the human race will accept polygamy."

"However, I also have advantages."

Hathaway murmured to herself.

"After all, Xia Ya said personally that I am special."

"When the tower that only belongs to wizards is built... I will stay with him for a long time, and I can figure out the type he likes little by little."

"I just don't know if he cares about the racial differences between humans and elves."

"Also, I don't know if the children of humans and elves... will have what he calls reproductive isolation."

The golden elf's steps paused slightly.

In her wild thoughts, she had arrived at the residence she had arranged for Xia in the Elf King's Court.

But the hut at the moment seemed unusually empty, with no signs of being inhabited.

Without even walking into it, Hathaway knew that Char was not inside.

"Did you go out for something?"

She wasn't surprised by this.

After all, when the two of them were drifting in "Char's Flying House" before, Char would often disappear alone. In fact, he went to the depths of the star world alone.

The reason Char gave to Hathaway was that it was too boring for Yin and the others to stay in the Soul Pact space, and they needed to go to the star realm to walk their pets from time to time to take them for a breather.

It's just that normally, Xia Ya would leave a note for her when she goes out alone. I don't know why Xia Ya didn't even leave a note this time.

Such thoughts only passed by for a moment.

The next moment, distant bells rang in the majestic tower in the center of the Elf King's Court.

That was the announcement of the opening of the Council of Elders.

The Elders Council of the Lost Isle is held every fifty years.

The major elven branch races of the Royal Court will elect elders who represent the interests of their ethnic groups, and discuss the plans of the Elven Royal Court for the next fifty years in the forum, as well as the allocation of various resources.

It's just that compared to the last time node.

This time, the meeting of the Council Elders came a little earlier.

"It just so happens that we can also take this opportunity to formally introduce Xia's identity to the tribe."

Hathaway didn't think much, but walked directly towards the tower in the center of the royal court.

That was where the council was held.

After all, if you want to promote arcana and magic throughout the royal court, you will absolutely need the help of other councils.

…

The meetings of the Council are held on the top floor of the tower.

It also represents the top of the power of the entire Elf Royal Court.

A huge blue bonfire illuminated the hall on the top floor.

Ancient bronze stone pillars are engraved with patterns of the sun, moon, ice and snow, fine gold, etc.

It also represents several powerful races that dominate the Elf Court such as the Sun Elves, Moon Elves, and Ice Elves. Only these large elf branches are qualified to elect their own elders and decide on major issues in the entire Royal Court.

Hathaway traversed the long passage of emptiness and silence.

Then, she pushed open the simple bronze door at the end of the corridor.

The door to the chamber creaked open.

Behind the door are eight elves with different looks sitting on a long table.

There was a moon elf with long silver-white hair whom Hathaway had seen on the tower before and who prevented her from opening the Royal Library.

There are also an elderly Sun Elf man and a rather gentle-looking Forest Elf woman...

Hathaway's eyes paused on the faces of these current council elders one by one.

There were many faces in this session of the council that she was quite familiar with.

Among these new generation of powerful elves, there are many ancestors or elders who once placed high hopes on her and entrusted the future of the entire elves to her regardless.

The same blood flows, and even the appearance has been passed down.

With this thought in mind, Hathaway walked gently past the long table of the council chamber, came to her seat, and gracefully performed a ritual unique to the Elf King's Court.

"Long time no see, colleagues in the Council."

"Please forgive me for being late, because during this time, I spent a lot of energy on a certain project."

"However, I also bring exciting news for the Lost Island."

"I would like to introduce to you some kind of magic, a great discovery that can change the entire Lost Island and even the future of the elves..."

Hathaway had not yet finished the words she had already prepared in her heart.

The next moment, the golden elf's eyes narrowed slightly.

She clearly has a similar appearance to the elders who taught her and raised her.

But I don't know why.

Ever since she came to the council chamber, Hathaway has discovered that the looks in the eyes on the faces she should have felt familiar with were so unfamiliar.

There is no cordiality and trust between fellow tribesmen.

Some are just indifferent and cold.

The next moment.

Hathaway knew that all this was not her illusion or random imagination.

That is, a tangible and cold reality.

Dark chains spread out from the surrounding void.

One after another, there were huge and mysterious black iron chains, blocking the fluctuations in the entire space.

The activation of all flickering, teleportation, and space jump abilities is prohibited.

At the same time, the sharp end of the pitch-black chain came with the sound of howling wind.

Then, with Hathaway unprepared and unable to resist, it penetrated her wrist.

Let all the extraordinary authority of the Golden Elf be restrained by the huge and mysterious chains in an instant, and can no longer be exerted at all.

Hathaway recognized the chain.

It was one of the oldest sacred relics passed down from the Elf Royal Court.

It has the effect of blocking all extraordinary abilities of those bound by chains.

In the royal court of the past, those seniors who were willing to be pioneers and brave the risks of pollution and madness to explore the outside world would bind themselves to this chain before starting to try.

In this case, if it goes out of control during the exploration and experiment, the crazy individual will also be restricted by this chain of holy relics, and will not become a disaster that destroys the entire royal court because of its powerful strength.

However--

At this moment.

In the golden elf's eyes, the chain itself and the figures of the council members who were supposed to be colleagues around her gradually closed together, becoming increasingly cold.

A holy relic used to suppress madness and self-sacrifice thousands of years ago.

Thousands of years later, it was used without scruple against fellow humans.

"Be careful."

"After all, she is an old witch who has survived for thousands of years."

"Even if she is suppressed by the "Lock of Heaven", who knows if she will have any other tricks. "

Reply to Hathaway's blank and confused look.

There was only that cold voice without any ripples.

However, at this moment, Hathaway had no intention of asking the other party "why he did this".

Because she suddenly thought of the abnormality in Xia Ya's previous residence.

It's not that Char went out to walk his pet.

Since the council had already decided to take action against themselves, Xia Ya, who had been staying in the royal court, was naturally their first target.

If it were outside the Lost Island, Hathaway would not be worried about anything happening to Char.

The members of these councils are just ordinary legends. Even the assassination against himself has to rely on the holy relics, let alone Xia, who can't even see through himself.

But - this is the Lost Island.

All non-elf races will be greatly restricted from entering. Before, Char could not even actively release magic power.

But he actually didn't want to come to the Lost Island.

It was because of his insistence that he was half cute and half coquettish that Xia Ya just endured the oppression of the rules and came to the Island of the Lost.

Ben and he have nothing to do with each other, nor do they have any intersection.

Regardless of emotion or reason, he could completely sit back and watch...the so-called future of the elves.

"You... what did you do to Xia Ya?"

Hathaway heard the vibrato in her own words.

"Char?"

"You mean the human that came with you?"

It seemed that he knew how powerful Hathaway was and wanted to make her completely desperate mentally and give up resistance.

The leading sun elf elder waved his hand gently, revealing an illusory scene.

next moment--

Hathaway saw the black-haired boy in a cage with his hands bound by shackles, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

At this moment, the golden elf's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave.
