Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

While Tilan was studying at school, Alanna and the others were also sorting out their gains and losses in the small stronghold.

"We have gained something this time, at least we have touched the edge. However, the other party must have noticed our actions, but we just don't know how they will respond next."

Facing an unknown and powerful mysterious organization, several people inevitably felt a little unsure, but they could only take one step at a time.

"In the next few days, I will contact the defecting members of other blocks. Although it is a betrayal, I know that they are not so firm in their choice and there is a possibility of persuasion." Gene said.

"Be careful. I will also contact some old friends and talk to them more." Alanna said.

"Um."

After that, several people dispersed and started their own actions.

In the afternoon, Tilan returned to the mansion after finishing her classes. It was already past 4 p.m.

Sitting on the circular sofa in the side hall, with the sunlight slanting in from outside, it looks very comfortable and makes people want to take a nap.

Tilan sat at the junction of sunshine and shadow. A maid placed a cup of green plum tea in front of her. It tasted very refreshing, with a slight fragrance of tea and the sweet and sour taste of green plums.

"Is Ge Yin at home?" She thought of the girl who was also here.

"Miss Geyin is in the bedroom." The maid said the daily situation.

"Did she go to class today?" Tilan looked at the plants in the courtyard illuminated by the slanting sunlight outside the window.

"I went there, but I came back around 11 a.m."

"It's so fast. It feels like we don't go to the same school." Tilan said with a hint of ridicule.

"Is this how the class schedule is arranged?"

"Yes, it seems that Miss Geyin discussed with the school tutor and exempted her from many courses that she knows."

"This kid is really a genius." Tilan felt that even though she was learning things quickly, she was still not as efficient as Ge Yin.

In other words, if the Ajieka network is properly utilized, it can indeed take advantage of the time difference between reality and the Internet to save a lot of time in learning knowledge.

While Tilan was communicating with the maids, a small meeting was also being held deep in the Ajieka network.

The Council Hall of the Seven Sages.

Sitting next to the simple round stone table were several figures with different appearances. One of the seven seats was still empty, while the other six seats were occupied.

Ragdoll Bear: The Ghost Face Gang reported that Alanna has been very active recently and the situation has gradually expanded.

Long-Handed Monkey: Those guys are more likely to fail than succeed. It’s better to deal with them directly, so as not to delay and expose more things.

Ragdoll Bear: It is rare to cultivate an organization that can do dark work in Academy City, and at the same time, it is easy to grasp the weaknesses and secrets of many large companies. It would be a pity to abandon it like this.

Red Scimitar: You are still too hesitant. For people like the Ghost Face Gang, their greatest competitiveness lies in the intelligence we provide, and other aspects can be replaced.

Red Scimitar: Some time ago, because of unintentionally offending 'Eluklu', the Ghost Face Gang was suppressed and lost a lot of strength. Now it has attracted the attention of the media and Alanna. Continuing to protect them will only cost more. Why bother with political relations? Just find a new organization to support them.

…

Blue Bird Mask: Okay, don’t rush this matter now. Let’s wait until the media heat subsides. Let’s continue discussing Alanna’s matter. Old Skull, you have been responsible for handling the follow-up of the ‘Connector’ before. This result is not ours. want.

Old Skeleton: The previous week had gone smoothly, but Alanna's mental state was also very depressed. She was also gradually hesitating. As long as it dragged on, over time she would slowly convince herself to give up.

Old Skeleton: But something happened halfway.

After saying that, a projection of a young girl appeared in the space between the six people. She was wearing casual and light clothes and sitting at the front desk of the pet hospital.

Long-handed monkey: I don’t know who this is.

Old Skeleton: Look again.

After saying that, another projection appeared next to the projection. It was also a black-haired girl, wearing a dark gothic style dress, with black and blue roses dotting her body. She was sitting on a throne, and their appearance and body shape overlapped each other. , until they become one person.

Long-Handed Monkey: Hesia Tilan, it turns out to be her.

Old Skeleton: Yes, this eldest lady suddenly broke in and disrupted many plans.

Old Skeleton: I took back many of the methods I used to invisibly attack and delay Alanna because of her appearance, and did not intervene rashly.

Ragdoll Bear: There must be people from the Tribunal secretly protecting the singer, so be careful. That’s right.

Long-Handed Monkey: With her here, doesn’t it mean that we can only watch and cannot restrict Alana’s actions, allowing her to regain control of the ‘Connector’ organization.

Red Scimitar: Maybe this is the only way to go. Now that she is here, the eyes of the Tribunal have probably seen Alanna and the others, so there is little point in us continuing.

Long-Handed Monkey: It's very bad. The technology of the 'Connector' has been taken over by the Tribunal or the government. That means that the Ajieka network will also have to undergo some kind of control. In the future, my actions will not be as smooth as they are now.

Blue Bird Mask: That may not be the case. According to the confidentiality laws related to singers, unless Heshia Tilan takes the initiative to report the matter of the 'Connector' to the authorities, if the people in the Tribunal see it, they can only pretend that they have not seen it. It is just recorded, waiting for the data to be decrypted a hundred years later.

Blue Bird Mask: Their behavior is characterized as protection. If reported, it would be equivalent to surveillance. This violates the spirit of the Charter and damages the legitimacy of the tribunal.

Red Scimitar: Will the people of the Tribunal really strictly abide by this kind of thing?

Ragdoll Bear: Okay, you Internet mercenaries are used to intrigues, so naturally you find it incredible, but the Inquisition attaches great importance to principles, and they will strictly abide by them. Otherwise, with their usual behavior, so many people will be offended and punished. The group forces have long found various excuses to attack.

Old Skeleton: There are many people who are jealous of the power of the Tribunal, but in the name of Her Highness Emuraline’s righteousness, no one dares to refute the accusations openly. Although the principles set by Amuraline are some kind of restraint, they also ensure the justice of the Tribunal and prevent many politicians from making rash accusations.

Old Skeleton: To deal with the Tribunal, the stupidest person is to fight head-on. The smarter person is to learn to use various rules to avoid their sight and sharp blades.

Long-Handed Monkey: Since the young lady's joining will not cause the Tribunal to report it, then why don't we take action? The Tribunal already knows about it anyway.

Ragdoll Bear: No, no, no, now they only know the 'Connector', and they may not know much about us. If we show a lot, it will attract their attention and let our existence slowly disappear from the shadows. illuminated.

Long-Handed Monkey: This won't work, that won't work either. What's your idea? Do you want to wait for Alanna to take over the 'Connector' again? Our previous behavior turned into a joke, and then other peripheral organizations also saw it and felt that 'Seven The Xian Council was completely incompetent, and then slowly broke away and no longer obeyed orders?

Blue Bird Mask: Don't be impatient. This small matter will not cause changes in other peripheral organizations. If you just leave it alone, it is indeed a time bomb.

Blue Bird Mask: Let’s take a multi-pronged approach. There are always many ways to solve things. Since Alanna’s biggest talisman is her status as a singer, then just let this halo disappear slowly. If because of Hesia’s existence, let the trial Court attention, then let Hesia, the singer, get closer to Alanna.

Others: That's what the lady said.

Among them, Blue Peacock Mask represents some kind of official force. Now that she has spoken, she must have some kind of plan and means.

Blue Bird Mask: After that, you will send people to strictly monitor the people around Alanna to prevent them from coming into contact with any big shots. At the same time, don’t let them idle, find something to do, and let them run around. This can avoid a lot of trouble.

Several people nodded one after another, saying that they would arrange for their subordinates to do it. Finally, Lanque Mask looked at Yinqingzhizuo in the corner who had not spoken.

Blue Bird Mask: Yinqing, don’t you have something to say?

Yinqing's work: None at the moment. I am currently analyzing the technology of the 'Connector' and studying areas for improvement.

Blue Bird Mask: That’s okay. Not everyone in the organization has to manage affairs. It’s also a good thing that you concentrate on research. After all, this is the foundation.

After that, several people divided their work and negotiated for a while, then the light and shadow gradually dimmed, and the conference room became empty again.

…

In the evening, Ge Yin, who had been staying in his bedroom for a long time, was pulled out by Tilan and had dinner together.

The two of them were sitting in the huge restaurant. The long table that could seat dozens of people only had two sets of chairs and tableware, which seemed a bit empty. Fortunately, the neatly dressed maids on both sides filled in a lot of people and looked very lively. Style, or luxury.

"Do we really need so many people waiting here?" Tilan looked at the row of maids behind Ge Yin and the same row of maids in dark red rose skirts behind her.

"Lord Tilan, please don't worry about it." The leading maid stood up and answered.

"If we never see Lord Tilan, everyone will feel confused and uneasy. Dinner is also a rare time for everyone to get together. Please forgive me, Your Highness Tilan." She gave some high-sounding reason.

As the owner of the mansion, Tilan spends most of her time either in class or outside school. After returning home, she spends a lot of time alone and sleeping. If you think about it carefully, if it were not for dinner, many maids might see her every month. Not once.

Well, Tilan couldn't find any reason to refute for the moment, so she just wanted to let them go.

"If you feel that you spend less time together and rarely see me, you can practice more diligently. I will check your progress every once in a while."

Tilan thought about it and realized that she really had to find something to do for these maids. Now there was only Ge Yin in the mansion besides her, and there wasn't much to do. Instead of letting them wait for orders all the time and wasting their time and lives, it was better to let them study hard. Improve it so that when you are short of manpower in the future, you can ask them to help.

"Thank you, Your Highness Tilan. I just have something to ask of Your Highness." Another maid stood up.

"What's going on?" Tilan was curious.

"If you progress through advanced practice, can your Highness give you some kind of honorary reward?"

"That's it. Don't worry, you won't be short of bonuses and resources." She nodded.

"That's not it. In fact, we are not short of money. We just need some recognition..." The other two maids came out to explain.

As a vampire with immortal blood, their lifespan may be slightly longer than that of elves. There is not a lot of wealth passed down in their family, but they did not have the protection of their status before, so they did not dare to publicize or purchase assets.

"What we want is some kind of honorary status to distinguish ourselves from ordinary people of the same race." They said what they expected.

"This..." Tilan thought for a while and felt that these maids were really die-hard members of the ancient True Red Royal Court. They all longed for that kind of hierarchical environment. It would be difficult for you to tell them that everyone is equal. adapt.

"Okay, but I don't want those of you with high titles to bully other companions."

"The entry-level ones are called 'Broken Red Maid'. They are required to complete at least a federal high school education and have a strength of Sequence 4 or above."

"The mid-level ones are called 'red maids'. They are required to complete the school education stage of a university, have a strength of Sequence 5 or above, and have a skill that they are good at."

"High-level ones are called 'Rose Maid'. They are required to complete a complete education at a university, have a strength of Sequence 6 or above, and have an expert-level skill."

"The top level is called the 'True Red Gift' and requires becoming a master in a field with a strength of Sequence 7 or above."

"You should be satisfied with this. It will make the direction for the future much clearer." Tilan gave the title classification they hoped for.

"Thank you, Your Highness Tilan, everyone is very happy and likes you." Many maids looked at Tilan with stars in their eyes. It seemed that their life that had been too leisurely had finally found its direction, full of expectations and motivation.

Afterwards, there was a small-scale discussion among the maids. It is estimated that from now on, the maid team will also be divided into hierarchies, which will facilitate management and form a backbone. Otherwise, the responsibilities will be too scattered and no one will be able to take the lead and take the lead.

After reading their situation, Tilan couldn't help but think back to the history of the True Red Empire. In that era, the incentives of status and rank were really used to the fullest. It almost told all humans openly that as long as you have the strength, you can obtain the title of the empire. , becoming a high-ranking member of the empire.

Of course, this is also related to the historical background. In the first era of the True Red Empire, humans have been contending with the orc Kuangya Empire, which is far more numerous. There is an urgent need for combat power. A high-level transcendent can protect a village or city. , so it is natural and legal for a high-level transcendent to have a title.

In other words, the reason why everyone is promoted to be equal today is because of the development of science and technology, which makes high-level extraordinary people no longer so invincible. At the same time, high-level extraordinary people also rely on various products produced by a large number of ordinary people, so they gradually formed balance.

After dinner, Tilan and Geyin took a walk in the garden of the courtyard again. Tilan and Geyin talked about recent events at school, and occasionally mentioned interesting things they encountered while working.

"Did Tilan say she met the singer named Alanna?" Ge Yin asked in a low voice.

"Yes, what's the matter, have you heard of Ge Yin too?" The girl felt that Ge Yin generally didn't listen to music very much.

"Well, I've seen news about her online." Ge Yin paused for a while.

"Does Tilan like Alana?" she asked again.

"What kind of like are you talking about? If it's her singing, I do like her, and she has a good personality." Tilan thought about it and commented.

Ge Yin didn't continue talking after that, but Tilan felt that the girl with silver-green hair was not as calm as before.

"Is something wrong?"

"Well, I'm a little hesitant to tell Tilan, but I'm also a little scared."

"afraid of what?"

"Afraid of some changes." Ge Yin replied.

"Then let's not talk about it for now." Tilan touched her head and comforted her softly.

"Since you are hesitating, it means you are not sure how to handle it yet."

"Think carefully before you decide whether to tell me."

"Thank you Tilan."

Although he didn't say anything else, Ge Yin's calm heart still felt some warmth and dependence. This was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time. It seemed that the last time he experienced it was when he was very young, when he was still with his mother. , teaching her to knead mud by hand and bake interesting animal teacups.

Later, my mother gradually became anxious, and she gradually became immersed in the online world and no longer had a heart-to-heart relationship with the other person.
