Hate Me, Miss Witch!

"fireworks?"

Aurora couldn't help but be slightly startled when she heard Char's words.

"Um."

Xia Ya stretched out his finger and drew a few strokes in the void.

There was obviously nothing on his fingers at the moment.

However, there are blue lines drawn in the void.

Then, it manifested into an extremely clear magic model.

"Xiao Ai, do you still remember what I once told you when we were very young, about the skills of Ceylon's snowfield hunters in hunting reindeer herds?"

Charia spoke softly while tracing in mid-air.

"certainly."

Aurora nodded slightly.

Although that was many years ago.

However, Airola remembers everything she has experienced with Char, every ordinary daily episode, every simple or unsimple memory.

Memories will indeed fade over time, but the reason why legends are legends is because they can condense those fickle things into eternity.

Back then, when Aurora released the shackles of the Holy Spear, officially promoted to Legend, and began to condense her own exclusive spiritual ocean.

The first thing she did was to firmly seal all the memories related to Char in the past, including all the emotions towards Char at that moment, in the deepest part of her soul and make backup copies.

Because she was with Chara and experienced so many weird things, Aurora was really scared.

I am afraid that I will lose my memory for some reason, forgetting the memories with Xia Ya, and forgetting the original emotion.

I am even more afraid that like so many other legendary strong men, I will forget my original intention little by little as time goes by, forget the feelings that I once regarded as treasures, and eventually embark on the opposite path with Xia Ya. , became strangers whose fates could no longer intersect.

Those things, even though they knew that the possibility of them happening was extremely slim, just thinking about them made Aurora feel extremely uneasy.

So she engraved the memory fragments she cherished into the depths of her soul.

As long as the soul named Airola still exists for a moment, even if the body dies and time passes by, the imprint that seems to be engraved on stone will never dissipate.

Even if one day, she loses her memory and forgets the past like those bloody romance novels she once read, or she chooses to embark on a path that is contrary to that of Xia Ya under the temptation of others or various reasons...

But as long as that mark still exists, then she can recall everything in the past and once again find the incomparable burning emotions she has for Charia today.

Such thoughts only flashed through the mind of the blond girl.

She spoke softly: "I remember everything you said."

"Um."

Charia didn't know what was going on in Elora's heart next to her, so she just nodded: "This is also the experience that the ice field hunters learned from the snowfield wolves."

"The snowfield reindeer are not small in size, and there are hundreds of people in each group. Although they are herbivores, if they are really inspired to fight against the same enemy and choose to fight together, then even for the wolves, it will be very difficult. It’s still a big threat.”

"Being trampled by deer hooves and pierced by deer antlers will cause injuries to wolves."

"For wild direwolves, injury is equivalent to death."

"So, in order to avoid being injured while hunting, wolves will choose smarter hunting tactics."

"Dividing the reindeer herds into different small groups, using long-term harassment and guerrilla warfare to tire the reindeer spirit, and cutting off the possibility of them uniting to fight against the outside world."

"When the reindeer are completely exhausted and start to become paranoid and suspicious...the wolves will work together to drive the reindeer to some dangerous terrain, such as a cliff."

"At that time, the wolves don't even need to hunt by themselves. They only need to make some bluffing noises outside, and the reindeer, who have already been in a state of panic, will fight among themselves and fall off the cliff in the crowd and chaos of trampling each other."

"There is no need to actively attack, and you can have a full meal without any effort."

Char's words paused slightly.

Between his fingers, red light spots representing mythical creatures slowly gathered somewhere in the void.

"Similarly, in our current environment, the same is true."

"Being an enemy of the entire world's mythical creatures may sound cool, but it also means being reckless and inefficient."

"On the contrary, if we can find a way to divide those mythical creatures that are already hostile to each other, let them fall into a cycle of internal friction."

"Then, we just need to find a suitable opportunity to catch them all——"

"Then."

Xia Ya spread out his crossed fingers: "Bang."

At the same time, the vivid blue image outlined in mid-air exploded in an instant.

It turned into countless shining blue light spots and scattered in all directions.

"So, should the rising fireworks be viewed from below? Or from the side?"

Aurora didn't speak during this process, but just listened quietly to what Char said.

This is also the reason why Char always likes to talk in front of Airola. She has always been a good listener. As long as Char starts to talk, she will listen seriously, nod and ask questions from time to time, and never perfunctorily.

It was not until Char finished his story that Airola looked at Char.

"It's not that easy to make those powerful mythical creatures feel threatened and become suspicious and wary of everything."

"So, who are you going to fool this time?"

Xia Ya was stunned: "Why do you say that? Has my image in your heart, Xiao Ai, been solidified as a big fool?"

Ailora stared at Xia Ya's eyes and said softly: "Because of experience."

"You have been like this since childhood."

"Every time you show this expression, it means that you are going to fool people again, or that there is another existence hostile to you that is going to suffer."

The first time she saw Xia Ya show such an expression was after the fall of Ceylon, in the train station of the Red Frost Lord City, which was the closest to Ceylon.

Xia Ya said that he was going to the city library to check some information and asked Ailora to wait for him on the train.

But until the magic train was about to start, he still didn't come back.

It was not until later that Ailora knew that it was because Char had investigated clearly that there was a female title-level beastmaster from the White Tower on that magic train, and she must have noticed Ailora's talent as a beastmaster, and she would have taken her back to the White Tower to train her.

If it wasn't for the lightning-fast moment at that time, Ailora didn't even think about it, but directly followed her instinct to jump off the train, then she and Char would probably have gone their separate ways.

Even though there is still a bond from Ceylon, no one can say whether they can reach the current point again after being separated.

"Although Char, you always say that I am a barbarian, and I am indeed clumsy."

"But, by your side, seeing that you fool people a lot, I can still tell one or two."

Ailora said softly.

"But, that's your character, isn't it?"

"Get into the enemy's inner circle...after finding out all the intelligence, grasping the overall situation, and planning all kinds of retreats, then take action."

"Then, kill it all in one fell swoop."

She blinked her beautiful sky-blue eyes: "Let me guess."

"Are you going to use your basic acting skills again, sneak into the group of guys who call themselves gods, and then stab them in the back at the critical moment?"

"Just like you did in the past few historical remnants."

"That was the result of forbearance, how can it be called a backstab?"

Char shook his head helplessly.

"You really can't hide anything from me, Xiao Ai."

"However, it's a lie, but this time is really different from the previous one."

"Pretend to be a subordinate of the enemy, pretend to surrender to the enemy, in exchange for the initiative at the critical moment."

"Such a strategy is indeed effective... However, it's just acting, but the feeling of being dependent on others and being inferior to others is still a bit frustrating."

"When I was weak in the past, the situation was stronger than me, so I had no choice but to use such a strategy."

"But-"

"With our current strength, sometimes we can do whatever we want without doing things that make people unhappy."

"Oh?"

Ailora glanced at Xia Ya: "What are you going to do?"

"There is a word in my hometown called He Zong Lian Heng."

"The meaning of this word, in simple terms, is to win over some of your allies among potential enemies in order to divide the opponent."

Listening to Xia Ya's explanation, Ailora's brows slightly frowned.

"Everyone knows this."

"But it should be difficult to find our allies or insiders among those mythical creatures, right?"

"A simple covenant is just a piece of waste paper. Only a community connected by interests is the most reliable alliance."

"But our goals and interests are different from those of the mythical creatures."

She glanced at Char: "What you want to create is a world without gods, where humans, dragons, elves, dwarves...all races can live freely."

"In other words, maintain the situation in which the gods have retreated in the Fourth Epoch and the intelligent races are self-reliant and unconstrained."

"But what those demigods and false gods want is to turn the entire main material plane into their own kingdom of God, and rely on the power of faith to ascend to the throne of the creator of the glorious era."

"Even, relying on the power of faith, go one step further and reach a higher realm that no living creature has ever reached."

This is a fundamental disagreement and an unsolvable contradiction.

Of course, Char could make a promise to some weak demigods, promising to give them the divinity and power spoils that would be useless to Char and others after the war, in exchange for them acting as traitors in the camp of the gods.

However, the reliability of such a deal is so fragile that it can be easily damaged.

No one can guarantee whether those weak demigods will pass on the information about this transaction in exchange for more benefits... At that time, they will only be clever but misguided, and maybe they will be plotted by the gods. Falling into the abyss of eternal destruction.

"Xiao Ai, your analysis is correct."

Xia Ya glanced at the blonde girl next to him in shock.

He suddenly realized that this girl was not as reckless as she usually showed.

If Aurora was really as foolhardy as he thought, then she wouldn't be able to take care of all his properties in the Widowmaker District of the Imperial Capital in an orderly manner when Char left the Imperial Capital.

However, when she is around Char on weekdays, Aurora has long been accustomed to restraining her own light, not thinking too much, and not using her own opinions to interfere with Char's decision.

Only when Char's own safety is really involved like this at this moment, will she rarely put forward opinions that are contrary to Char's views.

"It is indeed not a wise choice to pin the victory or defeat of the entire war on the fragile skin of a tiger."

"Those mythical creatures are all old monsters that have lived for thousands of years. If you are really arrogant enough to think that they can be easily manipulated and fooled with a few words, you will probably die in an ugly way. "

Chara smiled.

"Then why did you say that..."

Aurora was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Char.

"In my opinion, becoming a throne and embarking on the road to becoming a god and becoming a demigod are both paths chosen in order to reach a higher peak. There is no distinction between high and low in itself."

"And the reason why I gave up the path to becoming a god and embarked on another more difficult path -"

"It's because in my opinion, while becoming a god has gained power, he has also lost too many things."

Xia Ya's eyes were a little distant. He was obviously looking at the Snow Wind City, but he seemed to have landed on some more ethereal height.

"Needless to say, the madness and pollution caused by the containment of divinities. The fact that so many demigods fell out of control in the cataclysm is the ironclad proof."

"But - even if it is a more advanced path in the eyes of today's mythical creatures, is the so-called power of faith really foolproof?"

"Relying on the image of the god among the congregation and believers as an anchor to stabilize one's own self-will is indeed an effective way to combat disorder and madness."

"But...binding one's spiritual body and self to the body of faith in the eyes of believers——"

"But it also means that the self of the god will no longer be the self, but will change with the cognition of the believers."

"A single believer may not be able to change anything...but if the image of the god is different in the eyes of all believers..."

"Then He is no longer Him, but something else constructed from the concept of God in the minds of believers."

Xia Ya chuckled softly: "So, Xiao Ai——"

"Have you ever heard of...the goddess's evil fall?"

"Evil fall?"

The blond girl thought blankly for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Xia: "What is that?"

"It's okay if you haven't heard of it."

Xia Ya breathed a sigh of relief and touched Aurora's little head:

"Children don't need to know this kind of thing."
