Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva

Star-Chasing Covenant, Redstone City.

This town, which was built according to the original col settlement, has taken shape after a year of construction. It has attracted people from various settlements around to live here, and some wanderers have also stopped here because of the good environment in the city.

In January, everything that happened in the distant southern continent has not yet been heard here. The cold current of the severe winter has passed its peak and began to weaken, and the temperature has gradually risen.

In the nursery, Tilan sat on a chair, surrounded by many children. They were all children of residents in the city, but many families lacked the conditions to raise children, so the Star-Chasing Covenant would gather these children in the nursery for care.

"Sister Heshia, can you tell us another story?" The girl occasionally came here to see how the children were doing, and sometimes she would sit down and tell them stories.

Compared with the boring and monotonous life of the people on this land, the stories told by Heshia had a sense of exotic freshness, which attracted these children.

"Okay, today I will tell you the story of four cotton ducks fighting the dark fire demon king." Tilan heard this story from Lisa, the great-granddaughter of Grandma He.

"... So in the end, the big demon king was defeated by our super love candy bomb, and he said that this was the taste he missed and liked the most..." Tilan said the ending of the story based on her memories.

To be honest, there are many illogical parts in fairy tales, but this does not affect children's love. They are more likely to accept and immerse themselves in the fantastic plots.

After telling this story, many children are still unsatisfied, and they are chattering around Tilan about their own ideas. Some speculate on the development of the story, and some are curious about the details that are not mentioned.

The girl smiled and explained one by one, and it took a while to satisfy the children's curiosity.

At this time, the children pestered Heshia to continue telling the next story.

"Tell another one, sister Heshia~" Several children shook Tilan's sleeves.

Although Heshia likes these children very much, it is really late now, and she should leave.

Before she stood up to say goodbye, a familiar breath came from behind her. Orlesi protected Tilan with both hands, blocking Tilan like an old hen covering her chicks with her wings.

"You are not allowed to let Tilan tell stories again." She was a little jealous because these children took away Tilan's original attention from her.

Tilan was usually busy and had little free time. Now she had to spend a lot of time here. Orlesi became unhappy after a long time. On the one hand, she felt that these children had taken Tilan away, and on the other hand, she felt that these children were too greedy. Obviously, she didn't dare to ask Tilan for so many things.

"Sister Orlesi." Seeing Orlesi protecting Tilan, the children shouted her name, some of them admired her, and some of them were afraid.

Orlesi was very beautiful, and many little girls and boys admired and liked her, but Orlesi was not as easy to get along with as Tilan. Once she was angry, the children would feel instinctively afraid.

"Okay, Orlesi." Tilan touched Orlesi's back and hair to comfort her slightly anxious mood.

Because she was a singer, even a little unhappiness and dislike would bring a mental shock to these children.

Half a minute later, Orles's mood quickly stabilized. After all, she was not really angry, just a little jealous.

Then Tilan said goodbye to the children and asked everyone to eat and study well.

"I'm leaving. I want to see you healthy and study hard next time." Tilan waved and said goodbye to the children in the orphanage.

When they returned to their residence, it was already evening. Before the two entered the house, Lololia fell from the sky and landed in the yard.

"I'm back from the jungle in the south, Tilan~" She went to the southern jungle today, which was also the place where Tilan and Sura first met.

"How is it?" Tilan asked. She asked Lololia to go there, naturally preparing to let the Star-Seeking Covenant open up that land in the future.

Compared with the grassland, the rainwater resources in that jungle are abundant, which is also very conducive to the growth of trees and crops.

"There are some wild beasts, but they are easy to deal with. However, there are really many small insects. I wonder if your human body can adapt to them."

"I know that people have recently developed the production of quinine-based drugs." Tilan nodded.

"For collective development, we don't have to go as deep as a single person adventure. We can cut down trees and clean the soil in an orderly manner and advance step by step." She plans to open up a fruit forest there to make up for the lack of food types. Some trees for medicine can also be planted there later.

The two of them walked into the house slowly while talking. Orles, who was standing beside them, was a little excited because she was going home with Tilan.

A few days later, the first group of pioneers set out from the city and went to the edge of the southern jungle to station and build the first stronghold camp to prepare a good environment for the later members.

After dealing with these development and management affairs, Tilan invited two scholars living in the city to come here to continue listening to their stories and supplements about the history of this world.

"Good morning, Mr. Lindsay." Tilan stood in the sky corridor between the two buildings to look at the scenery, and now turned around.

Compared to two months ago, Lindsay's image has become much more elegant. His messy hair has been neatly combed, his stubble on his chin has been cleaned, and his thick cloth coat has been replaced with a light white robe.

"Good morning, Her Highness Heshia." He bowed his head and saluted, and Bernhard, who came with him, nodded.

"You are still beautiful today, Her Highness Heshia." This old man always does not follow the rules.

"Come over and sit." Heshia nodded slightly, walked in front, and took the two of them to the fourth floor of the building on this side. It was covered with soft carpets and the room was very spacious and empty, with only a window seat. There was a round table and several chairs.

The maid who stayed here poured tea for the three of them, then left the room and stood waiting outside the door, while the three of them sat by the window and chatted.

"The day before yesterday, Mr. Lindsay mentioned the destroyed seventh generation civilization. Why did they disappear from history?"

"It's normal for Your Highness Heshia to be curious, because the seventh generation civilization is quite special. It is not a common technological civilization, but an organization that is good at the practice of secret arts."

"Starting from the northern continent where we are, sailing southwest for about half a month, you can encounter islands of different sizes. Most of them have fertile soil and are covered with dense trees and swamps. That's where the seventh generation civilization once lived. place.”

"The main body of this generation's civilization is the mysterious group formed by women, or it is more appropriate to call them 'witches' according to the traditional method."

"Unlike common civilizations, they only select talented and qualified young girls to inherit the mysterious knowledge of their school, and they have always tried to keep a low profile, hidden from the collective crowd, and few people know about it."

"This way of life has enabled their knowledge system to be passed down for nearly six hundred years, far exceeding the short-term glory of other civilizations."

"Later, a rare genius appeared in their tribe. She had an unparalleled intelligence. She mastered the inheritance of each branch of the school at a young age and entered the realm of Sequence 7. Then she advanced to Sequence 8. It seems that It’s just a matter of time.”

"After possessing extremely strong power, she became dissatisfied with living in seclusion on islands and forests, so she began to roam the entire world. It was also at that time that the 22nd generation sage came into contact with her, and the two formed a good friendship."

"From her mouth, our lineage of sages learned about the situation of the seventh generation civilization, and also told the other party a lot of knowledge we know."

"After learning about these hidden histories, she began to think about many things, and the many places she traveled in the past began to corroborate her guesses."

"In her view, there must be a special inhibitory force in this world. When civilization develops to a certain level, it will lead to destruction."

“If we don’t understand the source of this inhibitory force, blind development will lead to destruction.”

"After reaching this conclusion, she did not feel discouraged. Instead, she was extremely excited. It was probably because her invincible life finally met a challenger, and everything became exciting."

"To this end, she began to work hard to collect various materials and left strange secret inheritance in various places." Lindsay recalled the records she saw in the northern permafrost.

"Your Highness Hesia, are you curious as to why the wolf-blood race, which is generally barbaric and has no knowledge inheritance system, suddenly emerged a wolf-blood queen whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary people? According to the information from my junior sister, I guess that the other party may have obtained that The secret knowledge left behind by a legendary witch."

Speaking of this, Tilan suddenly remembered something, which was the channel she listened to on the radio when she first came to the Shan'ao settlement.

The signal from the radio channel came from the wolf blood species, and it implicitly taught a secret practice method.

Although in Tilan's view, this method of practice is very rough, it is indeed a bit strange that the other party spreads it without any conditions in this land.

In this way, the Wolf Blood Queen was also unknowingly influenced by the witch's influence.

"So in the end, how did the witch and the seventh-generation civilization end?"

"When we meet that witch again, she is already the 25th generation sage." Lindsay recalled based on the records in the library.

"Nearly a hundred years have passed, and she has become old and haggard, and her once beautiful body has also become deformed. After finding the sage of that generation, she told us that she would not stay here long because there were unknown eyes that were always watching her. She doesn’t know where these gazes come from, but they will be discovered as long as they are exposed to the sky.”

"I failed." The elderly witch said in a dreamy and trance-like tone.

"Everything I was proud of did not bring about change. The organization I worked so hard to build and the country I supported were easily destroyed."

"Serial visions made me realize that I had been stared at by that invisible gaze. They probably wanted to know more from me, so they were not in a hurry to deal with me, but I knew that there was not much time left. "

"I have searched many places, but I still haven't found where the forces that inhibit the development of this world are, but I can be sure that they must come from the sky."

"Be careful of the sky and don't expose your body to the stars." After leaving this motto, she left the northern frozen soil and returned to the south.

"A few years later, the sages of that generation received messages from the distant wind. The settlements on the southern islands disappeared. Some places that were once inhabited were covered by swamps, and those mysterious witches also disappeared. "

"In order to avoid attracting attention, it was not until the 30th generation of sages that two descendants set out to explore the situation on those islands. We found many bones at the bottom of the swamp, including human ones, mechanical ones, and many insects that were difficult to decompose. part.”

"Based on the analysis of the remaining corpses and mechanical fragments, there should have been a battle here at that time, and then the seawater destroyed the island. Then the seawater receded, and the residents living on it disappeared."

"Although the seventh generation of civilization established by the witches has perished, they left behind very useful information, that is, this force that inhibits the development of civilization is not a mechanical cluster as many people speculate. The other party obviously has other purposes, unlike the subordinate units of the Mechanical Council, who have the intention to kill any new race they see."

"At the same time, the strength of this inhibitory force is no less than that of the Mechanical Council. They even have ways to mislead and avoid those mechanical races."

"We conclude that this inhibitory force should be a new race that has not fallen. They still have a complete scientific and technological knowledge system, powerful war power, and live in the sky." When the conditions were said one by one, Tilan's mind almost outlined an image that perfectly fits the description.

It seems that there are only them.

A girl like Celitia is obviously not something that a small race can cultivate. The vague information she revealed in some conversations also shows that the Silver Wings have a technological level far beyond other races in this world.

If it is really the Silver Wings who control everything behind the scenes, why do they do this? For the followers of the Dark Sun, the lives of other races have no value. They will only occupy the available living space and hinder the expansion of their own race.

Wait, what if they don't have the Dark Sun now?

After losing the Dark Sun, many races on earth lost their life goals. Many of them were just driven by instinct, chasing desires and interests, just like the Wolf Blood Race. Only a few awakened from their instincts and began to build their own racial mission and direction, such as the Gray Feather Race and the people of the Slami Association in the southern continent.

This is undoubtedly civilized. When you realize that this mission begins, even if it starts slowly, as long as this consensus gradually takes shape and stabilizes, then sooner or later this race will go to the starry sky again and move towards the distant world.

Why don't the Silver Wing Race go to the starry sky themselves, and at the same time hinder other races from taking this path?

Unless...

Unless in their opinion, there are things that are far more important than going to the starry sky. It is difficult for other races to understand, but the Silver Wing Race is still one of the new races born in the Fifth Era. It is not difficult for Tilan to guess their real purpose and thoughts.

They tried to recreate and build a new dark sun, so as to achieve the re-ascension of the entire race.

Thinking of this, Tilan's hand that was unconsciously stroking her hair finally stopped.

Unexpected, but reasonable, just a little regretful and disappointed, because this means that even after a thousand years, the Silver Wings did not take their own step after all, but indulged in the faded dream of the past, trying to reproduce the mistakes of the past.

The Sun Crown is a miracle brought by extraordinary power. It will become a weapon to enhance civilization, but it is ultimately just a means and tool. If it is regarded as the ultimate goal, it will lose its original meaning.

Forever tears in the eyes, forever pioneering and enterprising, forever moving forward.
