Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

St. Casonas, Archives of the Order.

In the quiet hall, rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged, with orderly year numbers written on the backs of the books. Just the catalog introducing the contents of these books is a thick book.

Opening the large book, which was about half a meter wide, Tilan's eyes curiously and intelligently scanned the introductions on it, and then recorded them on a piece of paper. Then, taking this piece of paper, she went to the corresponding bookshelf to look for the book.

Let’s start with the important events of the Fourth Age.

Carrying the taken down book to the table in the center of the hall, the girl began to read it carefully.

[In the year 326 of the Fourth Era, the influence of the Chaos Disaster finally slowly dissipated. Along with it, the three former crowns dissipated. People were surprised but also uneasy...]

[In the year 399 of the Fourth Era, the four originals retired together. Their departure created a brief power vacuum. The fleets that went to explore various parts of the galaxy gradually became independent and were no longer controlled by the earth. 】

[In the year 418 of the Fourth Era, after about ten years of conflicts and small-scale wars, 34 large fleets in the Orion Arm of the Galaxy announced their merger and established the First Silver Moon Federation to compete with the fleets controlled by the Earth...]

[In the 432nd year of the Fourth Era, the advance fleet arrived at the M9311 star system at the end of the Perseus spiral arm, where they discovered a planetary base left over from the Mechanical Council period. After the information in it was decrypted, civilization once again made strides forward, especially In terms of super-light navigation and electronic machinery applications]

[In the 448th year of the Fourth Era, the Omicron Mechanical Council was established in the Perseus Spiral Arm, and the first generation of androids were also born here. They are a half-machine, half-biological human race. The Mechanical Council at this time was not powerful]

[In the 469th year of the Fourth Era, many shipping groups controlled by the United Earth Government launched a public election. In the general election, the traditional forces of the Earth were defeated, and the political center moved outward. Many shipping groups gained independence and split into star-like micro-states. These micro-states Part of the country was absorbed by the Omikron Mechanical Council, and part joined the Silver Moon Federation. 】

[In 539 of the Fourth Era, a rebellion broke out in the Kamulana star field in the Sagittarius constellation. The residents united with some alien ethnic groups to defeat the local garrison and fleet and declared independence. During the three years, the Silver Moon Federation deployed fleets from the surrounding star fields to suppress it. , but the effect was not good, and the residents of these star fields complained. In the fifth year, the main fleet dispatched from the federal center arrived to quell the rebellion. 】

[In 581 of the Fourth Era, turmoil broke out within the Silver Moon Federation again. Some of the alliance countries became independent, and the secession war began. 】

[In 659 of the Fourth Era, the long-standing war of division ended. The Silver Moon Federation was divided into three countries, namely the 'Blood Royal Court' ruled by a monarchy, the 'Rotor Church' linked by religion, and large-scale business groups and The 'Silver Chain Covenant' formed by a group of neutral forces】

[In 813 of the Fourth Era, a mermaid fleet came into contact with the ‘Silver Chain Covenant’ and established a settlement in the Sagittarius Coral Star Field. Since then, the new economy brought by new technologies has allowed the strength of the ‘Silver Chain Covenant’ to continue to rise]

[In 872 of the Fourth Era, the last princess of the 'Blood Royal Court' died in the palace. The death of the only orthodox heir led to fierce internal fighting within the 'Blood Royal Court' due to power struggles. The war lasted for nearly ten years. 】

[In 897 of the Fourth Era, the 'Silver Chain Covenant' annexed the 'Blood Royal Court'. Twelve years later, after negotiating and mediating with the 'Rotor Church', the two countries merged and the Rotor Church became the state religion. At this point, the Silver Chain Covenant was renamed the Second Silver Chain Federation. 】

[In the year 1153 of the Fourth Era, the human fleet once again arrived at the center of the Galaxy and contacted the Throne of God located in the center of the Galaxy. The history and legends about the Four Origins spread on a large scale]

[In 1209 of the Fourth Era, a small population that had been free for hundreds of years gathered in the Sagittarius Kamulana star field, declared independence again, and established the 'Arms of Unity' organization. The organization's symbol is five arms holding each other, forming a Pentagon]

[In 1211 of the Fourth Era, the main fleet dispatched by the Silver Chain Federation once again suppressed this independent organization, but many members of the ‘United Arm’ also escaped and smuggled to other countries’ star fields to hide]

[In 1379 of the Fourth Era, a large number of advances in biotechnology allowed people to 'optimize' their own genes, extend their lifespan, and make the next generation better. This type of technology began to become popular]

[In the year 1418 of the Fourth Era, among the 23 billion newborns born every year in the Silver Chain Federation, about 92.27% are genetic optimizers]

[In 1529 of the Fourth Era, the parade spread throughout the Silver Chain Federation. There were demonstrations and protests involving tens of millions of people in about 59 star regions. The content of the protest was that the country should provide all citizens with the same degree of genetic optimization, otherwise the upper-level The children of the class will always remain excellent, which will lead to permanent class solidification. The demonstration lasted for a year and finally ended with the federal official compromise. 】

[In 1602 of the Fourth Era, despite the official promise that all newborns should be genetically modified and optimized with the same specifications, there are still many conspiracy theories popular, believing that the genetically optimized ones used by the upper class will be better because of the huge profits from genetic modification. Many biogenetic companies have emerged. 】

[In 1635 of the Fourth Era, the new chief executive of the Federation announced that all companies in the field of genetic improvement would be brought under the Federation and unified management to ensure fairness. This move was approved by some citizens, but it also encountered strong opposition from many citizens. Opponents believe that if everything is brought under the federal government, it will cause greater corruption and unfairness. 】

[In 1648 of the Fourth Era, the plan to take over the Gene Corporation, which had been delayed for 13 years, was announced to be shelved indefinitely. The government no longer insisted on it, which triggered a capital frenzy. Countless funds poured into the biological gene technology market, and various new products began to be proposed, and they became more and more radical. ]

[In 1700 of the Fourth Era, humans improved by the new gene technology began to show differences in appearance, such as diversified hair color, more beautiful eye color, more beautiful body shape, immunity to many diseases, and a normal life span of nearly 200 years. 】

【In 1859 of the Fourth Era, with the iteration of genetic technology, 'new humans' began to appear within the Federation. They have physical signs and abilities that are significantly different from those of old humans, such as being born with four-color vision, seeing spectrums that ordinary people cannot reach, and hearing ultrasounds that ordinary people cannot hear, etc.】

【In 1974 of the Fourth Era, the number of new races increased, leading to the accumulation of various contradictions and conflicts within the Federation, class differentiation, racial differences and grouping, etc. These problems have taken up a lot of government energy, and society has become full of gunpowder. The cost of maintaining public security and stability continues to rise】

【In 2000 of the Fourth Era, after a referendum, the Silver Chain Federation announced its dissolution and was redivided into 79 member states. For a time, the entire civilization fell into chaos. At this time, only the merchant fleet of the Omicron Mechanical Council could safely travel between countries. 】

【In the 2067th year of the Fourth Era, a special phenomenon occurred in the star system U192 in Orion. In the following five days, a magnificent crown rose slowly, and its shining light and influence continued to spread. The whole galaxy was aware of it. The first dark sun to rise was named "Titanks". Later generations also called this day the end of the Fourth Era and the beginning of the Fifth Era. 】

……

After reading the general history of the Fourth Era, Tilan closed the book, held it in front of her, and leaned back in the chair.

There were fine lines on the ceiling with a gray background. It seemed that it was quite old. The cracks in it accumulated spider web debris that were not easy to detect.

Although there were occasional wars in the Fourth Era, they were not large in scale and were slightly restrained. There was no large-scale killing. The society was relatively stable, and various cultural and artistic works emerged in an endless stream. Only at the end of the period did large-scale unrest begin to occur.

However, when recording history, people must have a bias. Because the Fifth Age was too cruel and dark, later historians were still afraid, so they focused on digging out the causes and signs of various disasters in the Fourth Age. This led to particularly detailed records of unrest, while there were relatively few contents about people's livelihood and culture.

If you don't experience these things in person, it is easy to be misled.

After reading the relatively beautiful Fourth Age, the next is the Fifth Age that fell into darkness, but it's late today, so let's come back tomorrow.

Tilan looked out the window, it was already dark.

After leaving the archives, the girl did not return to her residence, but came to a large hotel in Saint Casonas.

After sitting at the front desk for a while, several familiar members came downstairs and appeared in front of her.

"Lord Tilan." These star cluster members are not like her. They can enter and exit Saint Casonas at will. After several days of review and application, they are allowed to enter the city.

"You are here." The girl tilted her head slightly and thought about what she could give them to help.

"I'll take you to the library of the cult tomorrow. There are many books and materials there. Since there is no electronic equipment here to input, everything needs to be manually flipped through, so please help me find the materials."

"No problem." Everyone agreed.

"Have a good rest tonight."

...

In the following week, Tilan and the accompanying star cluster members kept going back and forth between the library and archives of the cult, flipping through and transcribing some useful things. Unlike the peaceful era of the Fourth Era, the Fifth Era was in chaos due to war, and various historical records were fragmented. Some even had no clear time, but only guessed time.

So tired...

Tilan, wearing a long snow gauze dress, lay on the clean black marble floor, with her hands and hair spread out. Around her body were books piled up like a small mountain, and there were scattered pages of notes and books, all of which were temporarily transcribed by her.

Anyway, there was no one else in this special archive room. Tilan closed her eyes and lay on the floor for a nap. After about an hour, she slowly sat up again.

Having been in the library these days, the girl's hair has not been taken care of. The hair on the edges is a little messy, but the big blue bow behind her head is still stretched and not crooked, making Tilan look a little cute and lazy.

Standing up, Tilan put the book in her arms on the table, and then opened her hands. A slight breeze blew through the library, carrying the scattered pages up. They circled around the girl, whirring, like white birds and pigeons, and then the page number codes on the corners quickly passed through the girl's eyes.

Then the pages fell on the table one by one in order, neatly stacked according to the codes. When she came to the end, the girl thought about it, took off the bow behind her head, pulled out a few of the threads, and the tips of these thin threads condensed into needles, quickly passed through the edges of the pages, and bound them into a book.

After tidying up, Tilan combed her hair again, tied it behind her head with a hairband, and adjusted it into a symmetrical bow.

Looking at the book she had sorted out, she felt a sense of accomplishment. Then she picked up a pen and wrote the time on the cover.

‘Sixth Era July 21, 1258 Summary and editing - Heshia Tilan’

Does this feel like writing history? The girl thought inexplicably, and then put away the book.

After tidying up the messy archive room, it was getting late, so the girl left.

The data sorting came to an end for the time being. She had been immersed in the pages of books for the past few days and was a little bored. Today, she wanted to go for a walk.

Walking on the Four Saints Church Square under the sunset, it was still solemn, and people came to worship in an endless stream. After seeing the magnificent appearance of the cathedral from a distance, Tilan turned and walked to the other side.

Passing through the closed high wall, Tilan came to the station of the God Forbidden Knights and saw several members of the star cluster here.

Why are they here? The girl was curious and walked over.

Not far away, Bennett and others were communicating with the God Forbidden Knights in the training ground of the station, and sometimes they waved their swords to demonstrate.

"It turns out that the swordsmanship in the past developed like this. It's really interesting." After listening, Bennett held the sword in both hands, stepped on the body and swung and slashed.

"Are you exchanging swordsmanship?" The girl approached and spoke, which startled several members.

"Are you so scared of me?" The girl tilted her head.

"Well, of course not, it's just..." Bennett wanted to find a reason to explain, but then he thought that lying would be more likely to be discovered by the girl in front of him, so he could only speak directly helplessly.

"It's just that a few of us are a little tired of reading books, and we want to come here to practice swordsmanship with someone, exchange and learn. Yes, this is to improve the team's strength." He found a suitable reason.

"Okay." Tilan could see that these guys were lazy, but she didn't blame them. After all, looking up information for a week in a row was indeed a bit boring, and even she wanted to go out for a walk.

"Then how did you communicate?" Tilan was also curious about the swordsmanship of these God-Forbidden Knights. In her vague memory, Themisia seemed to have learned to fight with them using lances, but she didn't understand swordsmanship.

"Very rewarding. The skills used by the predecessors here are more inclined to the inheritance of the Third Age, focusing on dealing with giant beasts and cold weapon battlefields, unlike now, most of them are dealing with a small number of enemies, and the swordsmanship is more open and powerful."

"I understand." Tilan is a rare genius in the field of swordsmanship. Just a few words from them know the general situation.

Although the moves of these God Forbidden Knights are powerful, they are not suitable for the current era. After all, the firepower of guns is overflowing now. No matter which combat class, the speed will be increased, so that more than 90% of the bullets can be avoided. The swordsmanship of the current era is more direct, tight, and flexible, so as to cope with various complex environments. In the ancient cold weapon era, it was an open-air battlefield with very few street battles.

After the exchange, it was time to practice. First, Bennett fought with several God Forbidden Knights. After they fought several hearty battles, one of the God Forbidden Knights invited Tilan to fight.

"According to the analysis of the battle just now, this lady is very powerful. I want to see it." The other party was wearing dark gold armor and spoke in a muffled voice, with a slightly honest voice.

"Hahaha, big brother, let me tell you that our president Tilan is very strong. Don't look at her weak appearance. We are no match for her in a fight." Bennett patted the other party's shoulder armor with a smile.

After agreeing, Tilan unexpectedly did not use the sword as usual, but looked around the training ground and then tried to pick up a hammer.

This is a two-handed hammer with a square hammer head and a 45° corner. The hammer head weighs about ten pounds. After holding the long handle horizontally, one hand must be close to the hammer head to maintain balance.

In the surprised eyes of several members, Tilan first waved the hammer in a very unfamiliar way, and then slowly became familiar with its performance. It must be said that this girl in a long skirt and a bow holding a hammer does look a bit out of place.

"Let's start."

Because it was a sparring match, neither side used any special extraordinary abilities, but stood on the grass to fight, one side used a greatsword and the other side used a hammer.

At the beginning, Tilan was unfamiliar with it, so she could only barely block, and occasionally had to use the weight of the hammer to dodge in the air. Finally, after gradually seeing the opponent's swordsmanship routine, she slowly counterattacked.

One hammer, hit the blade with a clang, bringing a metallic tremor.

Two hammers, in the girl's hands, the hammer seemed to become a dancing light stick, rotating around the palm of her hand, and then easily swung out, knocking the greatsword in the knight's hand away.

Three hammers, the flipped hammer flew out, caught up with the retreating knight, and hit the opponent's chest, making the opponent further unbalanced, and finally sitting on the ground.

Sure enough, the hammer is still not very easy to use. The weight has a large inertia, lacks flexibility, and the lack of a sharp blade limits the attack method.

In the following time, Tilan tried other weapons that were rarely used before, such as axe, long sword, spear, etc.

Finally, I came to the conclusion that she was best at using the sword, followed by the sickle or crescent blade, and then the sword, spear, axe and halberd.

Perhaps the few days when Themisia came out changed her, making her figure out some things and start to actively try things that she rarely did before.

Well, it was really interesting and felt good.
