Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 686 The Disappearance of the Seventh Generation Civilization
Star Covenant, City of Redstone.

After a year of construction, this town, which was built based on the original valley settlement, has begun to take shape, attracting people from surrounding settlements to live here. Some wanderers have also settled down here because of the good environment in the city.

In January, everything that happened in the distant southern continent had not yet reached here. The severe winter cold current began to weaken after passing its peak, and the temperature gradually rose.

Inside the orphanage, Tilan was sitting on a chair surrounded by many children. They were all children of the city's residents, but many families lacked the conditions to raise children, so the Star Alliance would gather these children in the orphanage for care.

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

Compared to the boring and monotonous life of the people in this land, the stories told by Heshia have a sense of exotic freshness, which attracts these children.

"Okay, today I will tell you the story of the four cotton ducks fighting the Dark Fire King." Tilan had heard this story from Lisa, the great-granddaughter of Grandma He.

"…So in the end, the big devil was defeated by our super heart candy bomb, and he said that this was the taste he missed and liked the most…" Tilan told the end of the story based on his memories.

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

After telling this story, many children were still not satisfied and chattered around Tilan about their thoughts. Some speculated about how the story would develop, while others were curious about the details that were not mentioned.

The girl explained to each of them with a smile, and it took a while to satisfy the children's curiosity.

Now the children were pestering Heshia to continue telling the next story.

"Tell me another story, Sister Heshia~" Several children shook Tilan's sleeves.

Although Heshia liked these children very much, it was really late and she should leave.

Before she stood up to say goodbye, she heard a familiar breath coming from behind her. Orlais protected Tilan with both hands, standing in front of Tilan like a hen covering her chicks with her wings.

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

Tilan was usually busy and didn't have much free time, and now she had to spend a lot of time here. After a long time, Ores became a little unhappy. On the one hand, she felt that these children had taken Tilan away, and on the other hand, she also felt that these children were too greedy, as she didn't even dare to ask Tilan for so many things.

"Sister Orlais." Seeing Orlais protecting Tilan, the children called her name, some with admiration and some with fear.

Orlais is very beautiful, and many little girls and boys admire and like her. But Orlais is not as easy to get along with as Tilan. Once she gets angry, the children will feel instinctively afraid.

"Okay, Ores." Tilan touched Ores' back and hair to calm her slightly anxious mood.

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

Half a minute later, Orlais's emotions 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 now. Next time I come, I want to see that you are healthy and studying hard." Tilan waved and said goodbye to the children in the orphanage.

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

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

"How is it?" Tilan asked. She asked Loloria to go over, naturally preparing to let the Star-Chasing Alliance develop that land in the future.

Compared to the grassland, the jungle has abundant rainfall resources, 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 a lot of small insects. I don't know if your human body can adapt to it."

"I know that someone has recently been asked to develop the production of quinine-based drugs." Tilan nodded.

"If we do collective development, we don't have to go as deep as a single person. 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. Later, some medicinal trees can also be planted there.

The two of them walked slowly into the house while talking. Orlais, who was standing nearby, was excited to be going home with Tilan.

A few days later, the first pioneering team set out from the city and headed to the edge of the southern jungle to set up camp, building the first stronghold camp and preparing a good environment for 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 additions about the history of this world.

"Good morning, Mr. Lindsay." Tilan was standing in the skywalk between the two buildings looking at the scenery, and now she turned around.

Compared with two months ago, Lindsay's image has become much more elegant. His originally messy hair has been neatly groomed, the stubble on his chin has been cleaned up, and his original 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 over beside him, also nodded.

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

"Come and sit down." Heshia nodded slightly, walked in front, and led the two to the fourth floor of the building on this side. There was a soft carpet here. The room was very spacious and empty, with only a round table and several chairs by the window.

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

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

"It's normal for Her Highness Heshia to be curious, because the seventh-generation civilization is quite special. It is not a common technological civilization, but an organization that excels in the practice of secret methods."

"If we sail southwest from the northern continent where we are for about half a month, we will come across islands of varying sizes. Most of them have fertile soils and are covered with dense trees and swamps. That is where the seventh generation of civilization once existed."

"The main body of this generation of civilization is a mysterious group formed by women, or it would be more appropriate to call them 'witches' according to traditional methods."

"Unlike common civilizations, they only select talented and qualified young girls to inherit their school's mysterious knowledge, and they have always tried to keep a low profile, hiding from the crowd and few people know about them." "This way of life has enabled their knowledge system to be passed down for nearly six hundred years, far exceeding the short-lived glory of other civilizations."

"Later, a rare genius appeared in their tribe. She possessed an incomparable intelligence. At a young age, she mastered the inheritance of various branches within the school and entered the realm of Sequence 7. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before she advanced to Sequence 8."

"After gaining great power, she became dissatisfied with living in seclusion on islands and in forests, so she began to roam the 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, we, the Sages, learned about the situation of the Seventh Generation Civilization, and also told her a lot of the knowledge we knew."

"After learning about this hidden history, she began to think about many things, and many places she had visited in the past also began to confirm her guesses."

"In her opinion, there must be a special restraining force in this world. When civilization develops to a certain level, it will bring about 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, but rather extremely excited. Perhaps it was because her invincible life finally met a challenger, and everything became exciting."

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

"Your Highness Heshia, are you curious about why the wolfbloods, who are generally barbaric and have no knowledge inheritance system, suddenly have a wolfblood queen with strength far exceeding that of ordinary people? Based on the information sent by my junior sister, I guess she may have obtained the secret knowledge left by the 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 Col Village.

The signal from that radio channel came from the wolfbloods, and it implicitly taught a method of practicing a secret technique.

Although in Tilan's opinion, this way of practice was very crude, but in this land, the other party actually spread it unconditionally, which was indeed a bit strange.

This means that the Wolf Blood Queen was also somewhat influenced by the witch's influence.

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

"When our lineage encountered that witch again, it was already the 25th generation of sage." Lindsay recalled based on the records in the library.

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

"I failed." The old 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.”

"The series of visions made me realize that I had been targeted by those invisible eyes. They probably wanted to know more from me, so they were not in a hurry to deal with me. But I knew that I didn't have much time left."

"I have searched many places, but still haven't found the exact location of the force that is suppressing the development of this world. But I can be sure that they must come from the sky."

“Be careful with the sky and don’t expose yourself to the stars.” After leaving this motto, she left the frozen northern land and returned to the south.

"Several years later, the sages of that generation received a message from the distant wind. The settlements on the southern islands had disappeared. Some places that were once inhabited were covered by swamps. Those mysterious witches also disappeared."

"In order to avoid attracting attention, it was not until the 30th generation of the sage that two descendants set out to investigate those islands. We found many corpses at the bottom of the swamp, some of which were human, some were mechanical, and there were also many parts of insects that were difficult to decompose."

"Based on the analysis of the remaining corpses and mechanical fragments, a great battle must have taken place here, and then the sea water destroyed the island. After the sea water receded, the residents on the island also disappeared."

"Although the seventh generation of civilization established by the witches perished, they left behind very useful information. That is, the force that suppressed the development of civilization was not the mechanical cluster as many people speculated. The other party obviously had other purposes. They were not like the subordinate units of the Mechanical Council, who had the intention of exterminating any new races they saw."

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

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

It seems that they are the only ones.

A girl like Celitia is obviously not something that can be cultivated by a small ethnic group. The vague information she revealed in some of her conversations also shows that the Silver Wings have a technological level far beyond that of other races in this world.

If the Silver Wings were the ones controlling everything behind the scenes, why would they do this? To the followers of the Dark Sun, the lives of other races were worthless and would only occupy available living space and hinder the expansion of their own race.

Wait, what if they don’t have a dark sun right now?

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

This is undoubtedly enlightenment. Once the realization of this mission begins, even if the start is slow, as long as this consensus gradually takes shape and stabilizes, this race will sooner or later head towards the starry sky and the distant world again.

Why don't the Silver Wings head for the starry sky themselves, but instead prevent other races from taking this path?

unless……

Unless in their opinion, there are things far more important than heading towards the starry sky, it is difficult for other races to understand, but the Silver Wings are still one of the new races born in the Fifth Era, so it is not difficult for Tilan to guess their real purpose and ideas.

They tried to recreate and construct a new dark sun to achieve the ascension of the entire race.

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

It was unexpected, but also reasonable, with just a little regret and disappointment, because this meant that even after a thousand years, the Silver Wings had not taken the step of their own, but were instead indulging in the faded dream of the past, trying to recreate their past mistakes.

The Sun Crown is a miracle brought about by supernatural powers. It will become a powerful tool for improving civilization, but it is ultimately just a means and a tool. If it is regarded as the ultimate goal, its original meaning will be lost.

Always with tears in my eyes, always pioneering and enterprising, always moving forward.
