Compared with the lively and laughing lobby on the first floor, the balcony outside the second floor is much deserted.
A woman in a garnet red dress, sitting in front of a small round table, quietly watching the neon night scene in the distance, the night shrouded her figure, only part of the long hair behind her was illuminated by the light, reflecting the birth Vibrant emerald green.
Behind this witch, there is another figure. She has hair like the night, standing in the shadows, and there are a few purple ornaments on the classic black dress.
The two did not speak, and the balcony was extremely quiet.
After a long time, as the sitting witch put down the tea cup, the bottom of the cup and the porcelain plate made a crisp and subtle sound when they touched each other.
"It's been a long time since we talked together." Her voice was very soft, and she seemed to have no other emotions.
"Yes."
After finishing speaking, the witch behind her lowered her head slightly.
"Actually, I really want to praise you, because you have gone through the most difficult part of the road. If it were me, it might not be much better." She folded her hands in front of her body, just a simple movement, but so harmonious , like a perfect noble lady or empress in ancient oil paintings.
"I'm sorry." The figure behind trembled slightly, then lowered his head and replied.
"There's no need to apologize to me."
"After our group of people left, you will be the leader of everyone. It is your freedom to make a decision, and it is also your must. You don't need to report to anyone."
"Going far away, taking refuge separately, reviving the dynasty, and the rise of mercury, you have done a good job in all these things. Even if I didn't experience it personally, I can still know the despair and hardships of the year from the lines in those records."
"You have done everything well. No one entrusted you, and no one forced you. You took many risks, paid a lot, and did it."
"Even I didn't expect that in the years to come, human beings could achieve such brilliant achievements, defeating the incomparably powerful orc empire one after another, even overthrowing the world tree and destroying one-third of the elves."
"Selene, you have completed these steps step by step. Although there are many companions joining and helping you, you are the one who supported the most difficult initial stage."
"If the story ends here, it will be very nostalgic and admirable." The sitting figure picked up the teacup again and took a quiet sip of tea.
"I..." The voice behind wanted to say something, but finally said nothing.
"You are so absorbed in solving problems that you forget why you are solving problems."
"If you take care of the younger generation a little bit more, Lagertes will not die alone in her own small world. With your translation and help, Dorothy will be more careful and cautious, so that she will not go to a complete failure. way of redemption."
"These ignorant juniors, although in my opinion, they may be too naive and naive, but if they are taken care of patiently, they will grow up slowly one day and become big trees that can be relied on."
"Too cruel war makes you gradually numb to sacrifice and death, and I can't bear to be too harsh on you, because numbness is a kind of protection for yourself, but since you are in that position, you have to be responsible for your words and deeds."
"So, I can't praise you for your actions afterwards."
"I'm sorry, Sister Artatis." Selene's voice was a little choked.
"Okay, I've already said that I don't blame you." The witch in the pomegranate red dress had a gentle voice, and she gently stroked the witch lying in her arms.
"Find an opportunity in the future and apologize to Lagertes and the others. Don't lose your face. If you really dare not face it, let me take you there."
The balcony slowly returned to silence, but the laughter in the hall on the second floor never stopped.
The large table in the center is filled with cards, dice, character chess pieces, and various small and exquisite architectural models. Surrounding the table are witches divided into two groups. One of them is like an exquisite white porcelain doll, wearing a Lolita's dress, with a thick book lying across her knees, and on one side is a blond-haired witch wearing a wide witch hat. She has a pocket watch with rabbit flower decorations on her waist, and there seems to be something in her eyes. The little stars are twinkling, very moving.
Surrounding the two people sitting at the square table were witches of different shapes. They suggested ideas for their own representatives, talking and laughing noisily.
"Dorothy now has the advantage. The two Lv.8 Hellfire Demon Dragons on the field will be able to capture Si Ye's fortress in the next round, and there will be no high-level soldiers in Si Ye's family."
"I don't think so. Si Ye has been building that mage tower for a long time, and has been pouring materials into it. It stands to reason that some high-level resources or troops should be produced."
"Oh, Edwina is still so cautious." Then there was another burst of laughter.
After thinking for a long time here, the witch representing the referee sitting on the square table finally spoke. One of her eyes was covered by her hair, and the other gray-blue eye looked at the board full of chess pieces.
"The hourglass is about to run out, Dorothy."
"Well, I know." Dorothy looked at the various chess pieces and buildings on the table, and finally stretched out her hand, picked up one of her own dragons and placed it on the opponent's castle.
"I sent one Hellfire Demon Dragon to attack the fortress, and the other to burn the nearby forest and change the terrain."
"Okay." The witch's eye boy in the center blinked, and twirled his fingers lightly, one by one covering the cards placed in the castle flew up to Si Ye.
"Si Ye chose three of them as chess pieces to deal with the enemy, and the others will be dormant this round. In addition, because the forest was burned, the two Lv.6 Cuiyue Archers lying in ambush inside were found, with HP -3, and were forced to fight with Lv. 8 Hellfire dragons fight."
After saying this, the witch threw four dice, rolled them on the table, and then stopped.
"According to the results of the dice, one of the two Cuiyue archers is dead and the other is seriously injured, while the Hellfire Demon Dragon's life is -10, and now there are 70 left."
Seeing the changes in the scene, the witches around the table began to discuss again.
"The template life value of dragons is high, about five times that of humans, it's so hard to die."
"I don't know how Si Ye will respond. Dorothy is very good at playing dragon chess pieces. After all, according to her character talent, she can speed up the growth of dragons and greatly reduce the training rounds."
"It's difficult now."
While everyone was chatting, Si Ye also made a decision. She chose three cards.
"Choose to use three 'Lv.5 Crimson Arrow Poison Wood Gunners to deal with the enemy, and then use the magical construction Dragon Slayer Spear to bless it to advance to Lv.6 Dragon Slayer Gunner. Because the job of Dragon Slayer Gunner It has the special effect of attacking dragons +10 and ignoring dragon armor, and at the same time inherits the ability of Crimson Arrow Poison Wood's sought-after job agent, causing +4 poison after breaking armor."
"In this way, the attack power is almost doubled and the armor is ignored, and the opponent's dragon can be instantly killed in one round." A white-haired loli witch next to her stood on the corner of the table and watched the battle, unconsciously commentary.
"Fake Hua Silin understands it very well. It seems that she has made a lot of progress in these years~" Not far from her, a witch with black cat ears shook her tail behind her, and looked at this girl who was similar to herself with a teasing smile. Tall white-haired loli.
"Lulia—" turned her head, looking at the black cat opposite Vaslin, it seemed a little furious.
"We'll have a game later."
"Ah, okay, okay, I haven't played with you for a long time." The black cat agreed happily and unbearably itchy.
"Don't bully others, don't cheat, Lulu." Just as Lulia was wagging her tail happily, she wrapped her arms around the witch, and hugged her.
Compared with the 'black cat' in her arms, the witch behind her is much more mature. She has white hair and cat ears, and her figure is also plump. She looks like Lulia's mother.
In fact, the relationship between the two is indeed extraordinary. This is the former "White Cat Witch" Pafil, who also passed on her power to Luria.
"Well, I got it, I won't cheat this time." Lulia said helplessly while her head was being rubbed, her tail drooped behind her.
"Ahahaha, now Lulia has been found a nemesis." Several witches beside her also laughed.
Laughter filled the room on the second floor, and the card game duel between Si Ye and Dorothy was far from over. Although Si Ye had apologized to Dorothy before, Dorothy didn't seem to care about this thousand years ago. In the past, they wanted to decide the outcome again in the game with Si Ye, and in order to ensure fairness, they also invited Befas, a senior who had lived in seclusion for a long time, as the referee, who was extremely sensitive to power and could temporarily block Even the witch who has been deprived of power and talent, although she had a reputation for viciousness in the past, she seems to be a particularly suitable choice as a referee now.
"...Then, the next round begins." After several rounds of fighting and decision-making, the witch in a black jagged trench coat and decorated with silver ornaments raised her hand again and rolled out the dice in her palm.
The dice that shook fate rolled down from the palm, and the world in the game moved forward again.
