Hate Me, Miss Witch!

"grandfather--"

"I read in a book that in the distant past, the Royal Court was located on a continent."

"On that huge land, there are snow-capped mountains, hills and valleys, endless grasslands, and lakes as level as mirrors..."

"So, is it real?"

On the edge of the Elf Court on the Lost Island, there was a little Elf girl squatting beside a dilapidated stone house holding an old book.

Her hair and eyes were a barren gray, and she was currently reading the words in the tattered book with the faint light of a fluorescent ore in her hand.

After thousands of years, the elves on the Lost Island have actually adapted to life under the curtain of eternal night.

Using a certain holy relic in the royal court, you can grow a certain high-yielding food crop that can bloom and bear fruit without sunlight and be eaten as food.

But even so, the supplies on this small island are still barely enough to survive for the residents of the Royal Court.

Those who have their own elder seats in the royal court's council chambers, high elves like sun elves, moon elves, and ice elves can naturally live in the inner area of ​​the royal court and live a fairly comfortable life. life.

However, as the "grey elves" who are often excluded from the sequence of high elves and have never even had their own elder seat in the council, life is naturally not so satisfactory.

They can only live on the outermost edge of the Royal Court. Supplies such as fluorescent ore and lightless crops are intermittent. They need to rely on their own strength to survive on the outer edge of the Royal Court.

However, everything has pros and cons.

Being excluded from the mainstream society within the Royal Court, they could only establish settlements on the edge of the wilderness outside the Royal Court, but this also allowed the Gray Elves to have their own inheritance and culture.

He has never been affected by the ideological trends and atmosphere within the royal court over the years, and has not lost his independence of thinking.

Long before the Cataclysm, the gray elves were all born bards and elven swordsingers.

Bards and sword chanters live in no fixed place, walking throughout the main material plane, bringing those beautiful songs and epics to every corner of the Western Continent.

Now, although the Royal Court has fallen and turned into an island of loss, there are still a large number of ancient books compiled by bards in the gray elves' settlement.

There is no secret supernatural knowledge involved, just pure songs and stories.

However, even so, the bizarre world described in those songs and fairy tales is enough to make people yearn for it.

"Since it is a book written by the senior gray elf bards, and it is said so in those bards."

"Then it should be true..."

The old gray elf with white hair and white beard looked at the little girl in front of him, his cloudy gray eyes showing kindness.

The gray elf's bloodline has also been polluted, so although he looks old, his actual age is only a few hundred years old, and naturally he has never experienced the glorious era before the cataclysm.

"However, we should never see that kind of scenery again."

The gray elf old man looked at the pitch-black sky.

It was a long night, and it had been like this since he was born.

"is that so?"

The little girl closed the book, carefully picked up the fluorescent stone with a handkerchief, and put it in her arms.

She looked at the elder beside her: "But Sister Hathaway said that we will have a brand new sun soon."

"At that time, we can also see the undulating forest waves, the magnificent sea, and the magnificent royal court."

"We can see the blue sky and white clouds again, and see the flowers hanging on the branches."

"During the sleepy nap time in the afternoon, we can lie on the green grass, and the warm sunlight passes through the shade of the trees, leaving behind tiny and mottled silhouettes."

"And Sister Hathaway also showed that kind of heart."

Hathaway is the elder of the Golden Elf Tribe.

However, due to various reasons, as well as the dilution of blood lines through intermarriage with other elves, there are not many pure-blooded golden elves left.

Because of this, Hathaway has a pretty good relationship with small groups such as the Gray Elves, and often fights for resources on behalf of the Gray Elves at the royal court's council meetings.

When she said this, the little gray elf girl's eyes flashed brightly.

A few months ago, Hathaway came to the gray elves' settlement on the edge of the royal court and showed them some magical skills called arcana and magic.

Afterwards, a small solar furnace was left in the center of the Gray Elf settlement.

The solar furnace replaced the large bonfire used for lighting and driving away beasts in the darkness, and it was turned on for half a day every day.

Such a bright brilliance was a spectacle she had never seen before.

The little girl had an unparalleled yearning for the light and the magic that Hathaway said created such light.

Because of this, these days, whenever she has free time, she will read the booklet called "Arcane Enlightenment" left by Hathaway.

I hope that one day I can become the creator of that dazzling light.

Sister Hathaway...

Obviously according to his true age, the golden elf elder is already...

The old gray elf shook his head with a wry smile.

"Thinking about it, it was just that His Majesty the Elder wanted to encourage us and arouse our interest in learning arcana and magic——"

"This is just a nice lie."

"Besides, what Elder Hathaway wants to do may not be allowed by other elders in the royal court."

The gray elf old man thought of the rumors that had spread in the royal court these days.

It is said that Elder Hathaway was bewitched by the foreign race and did not hesitate to squander the resources that the entire royal court had accumulated for a long time.

There were even rumors that he would be impeached for his position as an elder.

As a member of the gray elves who had benefited from Hathaway, the old man naturally did not have much dislike for Hathaway himself.

However, he was still quite skeptical about the human being who claimed to be a traveler and had an unknown origin.

The old man raised his head and looked at the dark and dim sky.

He lived longer than the little girl, and he also stayed in the darkness longer.

Therefore, he naturally knows how difficult it is to achieve the future described by Hathaway.

Even though the sum of the light emitted by all the fluorescent ores and lighting candles in the entire royal court was reflected on the sky, it did not leave any trace.

The spark of a royal court——

Compared to the darkness that has shrouded the entire world for more than a thousand years.

After all, it still seemed too small.

However, the next moment.

The gray elf old man's eyes suddenly solidified.

Under the pure black sky that seemed to remain unchanged forever, a faint light suddenly shone on the highest point of the entire Lost Island, on the mountain that carried the branches of the world.

At first, the light was still very small, which made the old gray elf blink his eyes, suspecting that he had lost his sight because of his old eyesight.

But then——

The faint light went from one to two, from two to four.

In a very short period of time, it spread rapidly.

On the extremely dark sky, there suddenly appeared countless bright spots of light that were as bright as diamonds——

boom--

The entire Elf Court was alarmed, and countless elves stopped what they were doing and looked at the dark night sky.

Then, silently looked at the dreamy and blurred ocean formed by the gathering of bright light points.

Stars shine into the sea.

…

boom--

boom--

In front of Char, the magic furnace heart erupted with a loud roar.

All the magical runes and formations engraved on the huge furnace burst out with extremely bright and dazzling light at this moment.

In the rising black flames, countless magic ores were burned and melted.

Then, it was transformed into the purest, pure magic crystal with no impurities at all.

Through the dense magic transmission channels, you can reach the highest peak of the Lost Island.

Thousands of magic factors are restrained and compressed under the blessing of spells and alchemical matrices.

Finally, being constrained and compressed to the extreme, aggregation began.

Release the mass.

Then, it is transformed into the purest light and heat.

Xia Ya raised his eyes, and together with Ye lying above him, looked through the window at the mountains under the huge world tree.

Also, there are thousands of dazzling light spots hovering in the night sky, like a sea of ​​stars.

"As expected of a teacher."

Xia Ya couldn't help but smile slightly as she looked at the thousands of bright stars cast by magic power.

"Molten Core"

"Magnetic Field Control"

…

In order to create such a scene of stars, I don't know how many high-level spells and forbidden spells were activated at the same time.

He couldn't help but sigh, Shi-chan is indeed Shi-chan.

Even though Xia Ya relied on the advantage of the timeline, he became Hathaway's teacher for a time.

But his ability system is still a beast master after all, and the wizard part can only be regarded as a part-time skill.

And Hathaway herself is one of the strongest wizards that Char knows.

Being able to go from being a layman who knows nothing about arcana and magic to quickly becoming a beginner in just a few months.

It took a few more months to complete the concept of magical creation that still existed in the drawings - "mimic star" and apply it to reality.

Even to achieve this goal, Hathaway even created several new forbidden spells.

For example, the forbidden curse "Molten Core" is used to bless the alloy constructed into the solar furnace, allowing it to maintain a stable structure and not lose control under the ultra-high temperatures caused by the fusion of magic factors.

It can only be said that in the field of magic ability, he, Char, is willing to call Shijiang the strongest.

Ouch~

The Little Dragon of Night also stared at the bright sea of ​​stars above the night.

It flapped its dark and elegant dragon wings and jumped down from Xia Ya's head, fell into Xia Ya's arms, and whimpered obediently.

"Yeah, you think it's beautiful too, right?"

"A masterpiece by my teacher and me."

Xia Ya stroked Ye's little head in her arms.

Originally, Char and Hathaway planned to directly build a large-scale solar furnace, which would hang directly from the ceiling like the sun and completely illuminate the darkness of this world.

However, it was not until the two began to implement this plan in earnest and mobilize the resources of this world to start building the planned solar furnace.

They just discovered that the supplies on the Lost Island were really scarce.

Just the alloy used to cast the ultra-large solar furnace, even the ore inventory accumulated by the Lost Island for thousands of years, is far from enough.

Even if you add those stored in Char's space pocket, it is still far behind.

Therefore, Hathaway finally decided to launch a compromise plan.

No longer a single sun.

But - stars.

On the pitch-black sky at this moment, every point of light is a solar furnace undergoing fusion reaction, which is also the so-called "quasi-star".

Even if it is not as dazzling as the blazing sun, the light of the stars shining at the same time is enough to illuminate the darkness.

According to Hathaway's plan, in the future, when all the elves begin to learn arcana and magic, and embark on the path of wizards, and some strong people can leave the Lost Island alone and obtain resources from the outside world——

At that time, resources can be invested to gather these hundreds of stars into a unified whole.

At that time, it will be a new sun lighting up the Lost Island.

In that moment when the stars twinkle.

Xia Ya heard the commotion like a roaring mountain and a tsunami in the royal court.

"There has been such a big commotion."

"Then, some people probably can't sit still anymore."

Feeling the commotion outside like a mountain and a tsunami, Xia Ya couldn't help but murmur to himself.

And almost at the same time that Xia Ya's words were settled.

The next moment, he heard slight footsteps at the door.

And, that powerful aura that was approaching quickly.

"An alien race."

"According to the resolution of the majority of the elders of the Council, your existence itself is too dangerous."

"Please, please come with us."

A vigilant voice sounded from afar, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Don't try to resist, and don't try to escape through the star realm."

"We know that you are very strong, but you should have discovered that under the suppression of the rules of the Lost Island, your mental power cannot be released at all."

"And under the influence of the holy relic, this space has been sealed. Even if you want to leave through the advent method, you can't do it."

Powerful auras rose up and silently surrounded Xia Ya.

From the objects carried by several people, Xia Ya also felt the mystery of the giant.

Among these auras, the weakest one is also a true legend.

However, Xia Ya didn't care at all about these legends who had a high status in the Elf King's Court. Instead, he focused on the source that they carried with them, which exuded huge mystery.

"It seems that a skinny camel is indeed bigger than a horse."

"It is worthy of being the dominant race in the glorious era. Even if it declines, it still has so many powerful holy relics, which are only slightly inferior to the holy spear and the holy sword."

"If you sell it, it should be worth a lot of money..."

But soon, Xia Ya restrained her greedy thoughts.

Shijiang, Shijiang...

In order for you to grow up quickly and become mature, I gave up such a large fortune.

In the future, you must compensate me well.

Facing those vigilant glances, Xia Ya grabbed the top of his head and looked at the elven legends around him fiercely. Ye, who was about to go on a killing spree, threw him into his soul covenant space. .

Then, Char raised his hands with a peaceful smile.

"Don't worry, I won't resist."

"You guys take me away."
